This is great, but how can we be sure this won't happen again in the future?

Damn just a few months after I finally gave up waiting and switched to iodéOS. If migrating between android OSs was as easy as desktop, I might switch back, but I can't be arsed now. Glad it's back tho!

I'm on Pixel + Graphene right now.
If I this thing dies before Motorola does its GOS release, what's currently the best de-googled hardware/OS combo for like $400 bucks?

I've been a great fan of the project and used it as my daily driver for >5 years. It was stable as heck and the devs were super responsive, even adding in neat features at users' request.
That said, I've lost trust in the project and moved on to GrapheneOS. The departures of Chirayu Desai and Nick Merrill smell weird from miles away. The latter left without any words of farewell explaining why he'd abandon his own project from one day to the other. I won't engage in speculation as to what happened behind the scenes, but there are enough red flags here to keep my distance.

But the jump to 7.2.2.0 is not an OTA jump. Meaning it'll factory reset as it installs. That part's a huge bummer.

And what processes have they put in place to prevent another multi month software outage?
Yes! I knew I should wait before uninstalling it from my phone!

the Web Installer only works for Pixel and Motorola devices.
With this release, we are pleased to announce that CalyxOS has started supporting the SHIFTphone 8.
CalyxOS 7.2.2.0 is signed by us using a new HSM-based, open-source signing solution we designed to enhance the security of the entire signing process, ensure redundancy, and remove single points of failure.
As many of you may have been expecting, Android 17 has launched earlier this month. Our team is in the early stages of porting it to our supported devices. We will soon share a timeline for releasing CalyxOS 8 with Android 17.
Worth noting that even if you're installing from the web installer you may still need the google USB driver as described in the manual installer. My test install (on pixel 8) kept stopping at the fastbootd screen until I installed the driver on my laptop. Took me a hot minute to work out what was going on.
When did we start considering android phones as Linux phones?
