microG Integration

CalyxOS uses microG as an open-source reimplementation of Google Play Services. This provides app compatibility without giving Google system-level access. Push notifications and location services work through microG.

CalyxOS includes Datura Firewall for per-app network control, Seedvault for encrypted backups, and Aurora Store for anonymous app downloads. These built-in tools make privacy accessible without manual configuration.

CalyxOS feels like stock Android with privacy improvements. The transition from standard Android is smooth. Most users can switch without losing functionality or learning new workflows.
