When I click the link that's supposed to lead me to the play store it just says 'no such app found'. Any way to force it to open on aurora?
Unfortunately, its not on apkpure
Edit: found them on apkcombo though, will give it a try

Any missing permissions for aurora in app settings? You switched installation method to aurora services in aurora-settings (new since Calyx 2.5 build)?
Most banking apps rely on Google Play Services. Since this Rom does not have it, it probably won't work anyway. Only solution if you want this Rom, is to login from a browser.
Actually it worked perfectly after installing the apk. Doesn't matter though, the ROM lacks customizability so back to LineageOS
I currently have Calyx installed with MicroG and is working well. I am toying with the idea of moving to Graphene so to test the apps I have are compatible. If I disable/remove the apps relating to MicroG, I need to know which ones to do. I'll probably disable them 1st and run for a week and then remove altogether and then move over to Graphene if it works.
I changed back to Calyx in the end as a lot of apps didn't work as expected.

One question I have though....Calyx and Graphene use "AVB Keys". I'm guessing that really increases security???
I have to say....Calyx is probably the best for me..;as far as security and usability balance.

Correct, it's all about encryption for the best security. You could remove the keys by editing the flash-all.bat file but I woudn't recommend doing that.
flashing works without any issues but after its finished i still get the stock rom after the restart, any solutions?
That can't be. This is a like stock rom without the Google goodies. If you flash this, it would not boot stock firmware, you would be stuck at boot animation without a factory reset, but flashing this does a factory reset automatically unless you edit out the -w in the flash-all.bat file. In this case, it wouldn't boot at all.
How did you fix the issue? Right now I am in a similar situation where everything works, but the only thing that isn't working is my data, where there should be an LTE on the top left of my screen is replaced by nothing at all.
The update OTA does not work when the phone is rooted?
In my case, the update is downloaded, but the installtion does not take place. If root is the problem, what can I do to update without losing data?

Steps
- Download CalyxOS image for your pixel 4a here: xxxxxxxxxxx
- Download the flasher for the Operating System you’re using from the links above
- For Windows, you also need to download and install “Googles USB driver ZIP file” from xxxxxx
- For installation instructions, see xxxxxxxxxxx
- Place the flasher as well as the CalyxOS image into the same folder. Do not extract or rename the zip, simply copy it as-is.
- Double-click the flasher to run it, and follow the steps shown on your screen.
If that doesn’t work, then you can: - Open a Terminal or Command Prompt in that directory, and then
- Run the flasher using:
- Linux: chmod +x ./device-flasher.linux; ./device-flasher.linux
- macOS: chmod +x ./device-flasher.darwin; ./device-flasher.darwin
- Windows: .\device-flasher.exe
Notes
- On some Linux distros, you may have to use sudo, i.e. sudo ./device-flasher.linux
- On macOS, you may have to disable gatekeeper. See xxxxxx
- On Windows, your anti-virus may falsely flag this as infected. This is because the program is written in the Go programming language, see xxxxx for more information.
This is the updated August 2021 security patch
CalyxOS does not include gapps and can not be flashed on this rom.
MicroG is included and can be enabled or disabled based on user preference.
Aurora Store replaces Google Play Store. Most Google Play Store apps supported. Google play store paid apps are NOT supported.
MicroG replaces Google Play Services.
Google Fi does work but must login to Google account.
Signature spoofing support.
MOD EDIT: Links removed3
The funniest part of using a degoogled phone is getting the flash bat file from a Google drive.221For anyone wondering... this ROM is amazing. Runs smooth/fast. No bugs that I've experienced. Battery life is good. Not a ton of features, so if that's what you're after you should probably look at Resurrection or something like that.
To anyone security/privacy-conscious looking for a good mix of security and convenience, I think this ROM hits a sweet spot.
I've tried Graphene OS and the Lineage OS with microg patch. Both were great ROMs, but Graphene is way too locked down for my purposes and lineage is a bit too insecure for my nerves.
Try it out! And while you're at it, give the Calyx Institute a look. They have a membership program that has several benefits, including an LTE hotspot with unlimited data.
