Getting MySudo to work on CalyxOS

From our internal testing, please find below some high level instructions on how to install MySudo on base CalyxOS.  

Please note that CalyxOS is not an officially supported MySudo operating system and therefore there are no guarantees that all functionality will perform in the same manner as if running on the stock Android OS.  These instructions are provided for informational purposes and goodwill to the community.

Prerequisites

1. Requires 2 devices

   1. Standard iOS/Android device running latest version of MySudo

   2. Device that runs CalyxOS

2. Need to purchase a MySudo plan from either Apple App Store or Google Play Store on a standard iOS or Android device (recommend purchasing an annual plan)

Steps (for minimum support)

1. Download and side-load MySudo APK on CalyxOS -(see APK links below)

2. Launch MySudo on CalyxOS

3. On the introduction screen tap on “Import Existing Sudo Info”

4. On Standard device, open MySudo, tap on “Settings->Backup & Import/Export->Export to Another Device”

5. Use QR Code transfer method to export/share the MySudo account from standard device(iOS/Android) to the CalyxOS device - see how to access MySudo from multiple devices

APK Files:

• mysudo-prod-arm64-v8a-release.apk

• mysudo-prod-armeabi-v7a-release.apk

• sha256sum.txt

Current Limitations

CalyxOS comes with MicroG services installed. With the microG services enabled we have found most functions of MySudo to work as expected (calling, messaging, email, browsing etc).

However we have noticed that attempting to purchase MySudo subscriptions direct from the CalyxOS device using microG services does not appear to work on first attempt. We have not explored this area any further as yet, so in the meantime we recommend:

• Subscriptions be purchased on the standard device (iOS or Android).  The purchased subscription will be synched to the CalyxOS device given it is in a multi-device sharing scenario with the standard device as per QR code account transfer instructions above. 

We will update this post once we have time to do further testing with the CalyxOS.
