W00t!! I'm planning to give the test build a test drive later tonight! 😃
I actually bought a Pixel specifically for Calyx ... just a week before the Great Pause . It's been gathering dust, waiting for this moment.

CalyxOS progress report - our test build with Android 16 is here

Dear CalyxOS community, we are (almost) back. We are excited to share that test builds of CalyxOS are available to our community testers. Below are some details on this release and planned next steps.

These test builds are specifically for people who want to give us early feedback and help us do thorough testing. You might encounter bugs and we recommend that you do not use this test build for your primary device. We plan to follow this test release with an official release that contains fixes and improvements very soon if we find no major blocking issues during this round of testing.

In this latest release of CalyxOS, you will have a sneak peek of its new visual identity. Based the latest Material You design system, we created a fresh look for CalyxOS with custom designed elements from logo boot animation to iconography. We invite you to join this journey in improving the visual language and user interface for CalyxOS by sending us your feedback.
