That’s how I feel with my Pixel 7 Pro. I opted for GrapheneOS though. I did dabble with LineageOS with root and Play Integrity Fix, LSposed, and various other magisk modules but ultimately decided GrapheneOS was the route for me. I left GOS for LineageOS due to no Android Auto support, but it has been brought to GOS luckily.
Does Android Auto in Graphene still require Google Maps to be installed, or is there a shim? If not, I wouldn’t be surprised if Calyx writes one, once they implement whatever black magic Graphene devs came up with to make AA work.
As a related example, Calyx has a Google Photos shim, so you can use other galleries with gcam. I just added Calyx’s f-droid repository, and use that with my Graphene install.
For now, I’m happy using my Mazda CX-5’s built in navigation with bluetooth audio. It’s nice enough to tile both side by side, and it’s less fiddly than AA. But my next car might not be as favorable, so I’m glad to have AA as an option.
With AA on GOS you have to use the sandboxed google play services, and it will use Google maps. There however may be a way to use a shim for other navigation platforms. I admittedly don’t have much further knowledge of how all of the AA, Play Services, or other services are integrated.
That’s unfortunate, Maps is near the top of the list of Google code I want nowhere near my phone. But now that the first domino has fallen, I’m sure folks are working on some de-googling.
I would love if the EU finds a way to force standardization of screen casting.
I looked at my requirements of being stable and secure, and calyx seemed to have the most focus on that plus having a good outward image. Graphene’s main dev has had a troubled past with criticism.
I have seen rumblings about the people regarding GrapheneOS and some problematic behavior and such, but admittedly never looked to deep into it. However, everything that GraphrneOS fits the bill for me, so I never bothered looking into Calyx. From reading, GOS was recommended over calyx for my pixel 7 pro. I admittedly didn’t know too much about calyx.
Though totally and completely valid reasoning behind your choice. It was more of a curiousity for me as to why calyx over gos. Thank you!

Completely understandable. It does route location through GrapheneOS location provider, as well as geocoding I believe.
Calyx is amazing for me, I love it. BUT android auto doesn’t work on it, which is lame. I’ve learned to deal with it and use waze instead.
What drew you into using Calyx over Graphene if I may ask?
