If, God willing, it ever becomes available on a dual screen phone, I'll shit bricks.

BTW, I want some advice. I have a pixel 4a running CalyxOS & want to switch to Graphene (The pixel 4a ROM is under legacy support)

Is it safe to flash GOS directly or should I flash the stock first & THEN GOS ??

Any more additional advice is welcomed & thanks in advance

I'm staying with Calyx just because I don't want to run Google binaries. What's encouraging your switch?

[–] biotin7@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

When I installed Calyx then, GOS didn't have the Google-Play sandbox & now it does. Along with Vanadium.

DivestOS was a choice but now it's dead, also for some reason Pixel 4a doesn't have a TWRP image ?

If you're doing a dirty flash, as long as you have the same kernel version between them it should be fine, not recommended though, lots could go wrong.

You shouldn't need to go back to stock, but make sure the old OS is properly wiped away.

How does one wipe the old OS ?
