CopperheadOS is a source-available operating system for smartphones and tablet computers, based on the Android mobile platform. It is based on the official releases of the Android Open Source Project by Google, with added privacy and security features.
In August 2016, CopperheadOS announced future versions of the operating system, based on Android Nougat 7.x, would be released under a no-commercial-usage license until more funding could be acquired.
In March 2017, support for Pixel and Pixel XL devices was launched.
The following is a list of devices that are supported by CopperheadOS:
In the past, the Nexus 5 and Galaxy S4 were supported. The Nexus 5 was dropped in October 2016 when Google ended support.
