I do want to purchase a Pixel 4a and flash a custom rom onto it. I know that it’s an old phone by todays standards but i just fell in love with the small size and all the design & feature choices. Now i want to figure out, which one would be the best choice especially with the 4a going out of support in August.

GrapheneOS is one of the best custom roms regarding privacy and security. Sadly the support for the 4a is also dropping on the official date.

Calyx is a good alternative for GrapheneOS and will provide security updates till February 2024

Copperhead will also drop support for the 4a but will also provide security updates “as much as they can”.

The longest support available would be on lineageOS which sadly wont be the best regarding privacy and security.

Which one should i choose?

Any help appreciated
