Releases

About the releases

These releases are available as both tags in the source code repositories and official builds.

The factory images are used for the initial installation and can be verified with signify. See the installation page for details.

GrapheneOS uses automatic over-the-air updates, but full update packages are listed below for uncommon use cases like never connecting the device to the internet. A full update package can upgrade from any past version to the new version. The over-the-air updates use delta update packages when available. Those aren't currently linked below but may be in the future once they're being used more consistently. Update packages are not for performing the initial installation and you should ignore incorrect guides trying to use them to install the OS.

The update packages have an internal signature verified by the update client (or recovery when sideloading). Downgrade attacks are also prevented, and downgrades cannot be done unless a special downgrade update package has been signed with the release key. The internal payload for update_engine is also signed, providing another layer of signature verification and downgrade protection. Verified boot and the hardware-backed keystore also act as a final layer of protection.

Releases are tested by the developers and are then pushed out via the Alpha channel. The release is then pushed out via the Beta channel shortly afterwards. Finally, the release is then pushed out via the Stable channel after being tested by some users using the Beta channel. In some cases, problems are caught during Beta channel testing and a new release is made via the Beta channel to replace the aborted one. In general, it's not possible to downgrade unless a downgrade update package is generated, so use the Stable channel if you cannot tolerate dealing with temporary issues while a new release for the Beta channel is being created.

Release announcements

Releases are announced on this page and included in an atom feed usable from any standard feed reader app. A release announcement indicates that the source code tags are available and that the official builds will soon be pushed out via the Alpha channel.

The main place to discuss the releases are the threads posted on our our discussion forum with the Announcements tag.

The announcements are also posted from the @GrapheneOS X account, the @GrapheneOS Mastodon account, the @grapheneos.org Bluesky account, the official subreddit, and in the official GrapheneOS chat rooms including the dedicated releases room/channel on the respective chat platform (Matrix, Discord, Telegram). Each of these links to the main discussion thread on our discussion forum.

Changes since the 2024111700 release:

temporarily revert putting Private Space data at rest when locking it because some users want to be able to unlock it with their fingerprint so we need to make this into a toggle rather than hard-wired (will be added back in a near future release as an option)
switch default display color mode to Natural for fresh installs for more accurate image/video colors and to avoid bugs tied to the other options

Changes since the 2024110700 release:

Private Space: put data at rest immediately after stopping the profile to match user profile behavior instead of only on reboot
fix Mock Location on devices without any standard location providers (only Pixel Tablet)
backport mainline APEX module patches for ART, DNS Resolver, DocumentsUI, Media, Media Provider, Network Stack, PermissionController, Remote Key Provisioning and Wi-Fi
raise maximum running users from the standard 3 to 4 for 6GB memory, 6 for 8GB memory, 10 for 12GB memory and 14 for 16GB memory
Settings: disable Bluetooth contact sharing by default
Settings: fix Private Space handling in Passwords & accounts > Additional services

temporarily don't report harmless fingerprint-service.goodix crash
temporarily disable hardened_malloc for vendor audio service due to Pixel Tablet bug
Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: significantly rework client side compatibility layer to avoid deadlocks and to avoid allowing starting apps with no exported components (i.e. not even a launcher activity)
Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: overhaul approach to raising Google Play components to the foreground to avoid it always being considered in the foreground while also solving an issue triggered in a rare edge case at startup
Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: stop Play Store from attempting to auto-install some system component packages, such as "Android System SafetyCore" (com.google.android.safetycore) and "Android System Key Verifier" (com.google.android.contactkeys)
Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: fix Android Auto voice commands not working in some cases
Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: fix one of the Android Auto permission toggle checks for companion devices

Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: don't stop apps that use Dynamite modules when Play services stops since the new version of the Dynamite client library handles dynamic re-connection without app restart and older ones will handle this by stopping
kernel (5.10, 5.15, 6.1, 6.6): disable unused TIPC protocol support
kernel (5.10): update to latest GKI LTS branch revision

kernel (6.6): update to latest GKI LTS branch revision
System Updater: show failure notification for update_engine errors
System Updater: add missing UpdateEngine.unbind() to avoid extra callbacks for progress and error reporting
System Updater: avoid treating non-404 errors such as a connection failure as lack of an incremental update
System Updater: handle a partially downloaded incremental update being removed from the server by falling back to the full update instead of retrying resuming the incremental download until the next update (this will allow us to remove an incremental for the latest available version to save storage space or work around a potential update_engine bug without it causing download resumption errors)
System Updater: delete stale update from a failed download of a previous release slightly earlier
Vanadium: update to version 130.0.6723.102.1

2024102400

Notice which will not impact most users: apps which were only installed in secondary users but not Owner before updating to Android 15 and which were then installed in Owner after updating to Android 15 will have a one-time revocation of their Network/Sensors permissions after updating to this release as a minor consequence of migrating them from Android 14 again.

Changes since the 2024102100 release:

switch back our original stricter approach to DNS leak blocking from our 2024050900 release with an additional fix for an Android DNS routing bug causing requests to the VPN DNS servers to be routed incorrectly, which should avoid the compatibility issues experienced with certain VPN apps when we tried to ship it before
avoid resetting Network or Sensors back to the global default after app updates in a specific case when migrating the state from Android 14 or earlier
add an extra one-time migration of Network and Sensors being disabled in Android 14 to Android 15 to work around an issue with the previous migration of the permission state which occurred for some users with some of their apps
fix ancient Android bug causing widgets to disappear from the user's home screen when the user stops, which was a major usability issue for secondary users
Keyboard: extend fix for upstream layout bug in landscape mode to fully fix it for 3-button navigation in addition to the default gesture navigation
Gallery: fix upstream cropping activity bug when both the input and output URI is the same to fix setting profile pictures for user profiles
raise backup service transport (Seedvault) timeout from 10 minutes / 5 minutes to 60 minutes / 30 minutes to handle very large backups, particularly for the device-to-device mode which includes nearly all app data
temporarily revert enforcing minimum 64kiB stack guard size for arm64 since Facebook recently included a buggy stack overflow check for the React Native Hermes runtime that's incompatible with larger gap sizes and beginning to be shipped by apps (revert was not applied for Android 15 port)
Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: add stubs for update_engine wrapper API to avoid potential Play services crashes if the existing approaches to disable the update service fail
Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro, Pixel 8a: disable Wi-Fi HAL debug logging to avoid memory corruption caught by hardware memory tagging on GrapheneOS
kernel (6.1): update to latest GKI LTS branch revision
use hardened GrapheneOS 6.6 LTS kernel for microdroid virtual machines for both arm64 and x86_64
Vanadium: update to version 130.0.6723.73.0

Changes since the 2024101900 release:

Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: adjust one of the stubs for the NearbyManager API to resolve a remaining issue
Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: use per-network MAC randomization and enable send device name for wireless Android Auto networks to avoid introducing compatibility issues by default for certain cars with either our per-connection MAC randomization feature or default disabled DHCP device name
adjust hasSendDhcpHostnameEnabledChanged() based on new "Send device name" setting value to avoid introducing a permission issue
temporarily disable memory tagging for the Pixel Camera Services app until memory corruption bugs are resolved
extend one-time removal of leftover Vanadium library state to handle it for Alpha/Beta users who removed it from Owner themselves but still have it in other users

Changes since the 2024101801 release:

drop existing "Send device name" setting value for all Wi-Fi networks to start from our default of disabled for all users including people who updated to the Beta and Alpha releases already (we already switched the default to off for new networks in 2024101800)
limit removal of shared library updates as part of our system APK verified boot feature to those equal to the OS version since older versions are already dealt with and removing them this way leaves behind stale package state cluttering the UI
run a one-time task to remove leftover Vanadium library state to avoid showing a list of old versions
Settings: fix upstream Android 15 bug causing a crash for the network privacy menu when the AP name has special characters
Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: add stubs for NearbyManager API to avoid crashes from Find My Device feature
Dialer: fix new upstream crashes in Android 15 caused by R8 optimization
fix upstream Android 15 bug causing a Wallet quick tile provided by a user installed app to be automatically added, which isn't intended

Changes since the 2024101701 release:

stop enabling the new Android 15 "Send device name" toggle for Wi-Fi networks by default to continue avoiding sending the device model (default) or user configured device name as a DHCP client hostname (Alpha channel testers on our previous Android 15 releases need to toggle it off for each existing network themselves if they don't want it)

Changes since the 2024101700 release:

Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: declare C2DM SEND permission ourselves in addition to the already covered READ_GSERVICES and C2DM RECEIVE to avoid issues with Firebase Cloud Messaging for fresh installs of sandboxed Google Play without the Google Services Framework (GSF) app that's no longer a dependency in our App Store for Android 15
Settings: enable our per-connection Wi-Fi MAC randomization feature by default for new networks again on Android 15 instead of the standard per-network approach
Settings: extend change in the previous release for hiding inaccurate Private Space information
persist GrapheneOS-specific package state when archiving an app
Radio Info, Wi-Fi testing (Settings): opt-out of Android 15 edge-to-edge since it's not properly supported yet (upstream bug)
stop excluding Gallery from Private Space

2024101700

This is the second release of GrapheneOS based on Android 15 based on the October 15th stable release of Android 15. It fixes nearly all of the reported regressions, but we have a couple more things to fix in another release later today before the release will be able to reach Beta and Stable.

Changes since the 2024101600 release:

fix upstream Android 15 bug in InputMethodManagerService.resetDefaultImeLocked() causing system_server crash from null pointer exception
fix upstream Android 15 bug in KeyguardUpdateMonitor.onPostureChanged() causing SystemUI crash on foldable devices from null pointer exception due to GrapheneOS currently only having fingerprint unlock and not face unlock
Messaging: add new permissions needed on Android 15 (READ_CELL_BROADCASTS and RECEIVE_WAP_PUSH) which avoids it prompting to be set as the default app instead of completing certain actions requiring privileges it was missing
Settings: port our default enabled per-connection MAC randomization option to the new Compose-based UI in Android 15 so the default mode displays properly and it can be restored back to the default value
fix Android 15 port of our toggle for disabling granting our Sensors permission by default
Storage Manager, Emergency Info: opt-out of Android 15 edge-to-edge since it's not properly supported yet (upstream bugs)
Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: replace GmsCompatConfig Bluetooth stubs with in-place checks for improved reliability and readability
ignore the standard stock OS configured Factory Reset Protection since installing GrapheneOS implies the ability to bypass it via the device being unlocked and if we added our own anti-theft system it would not use the same approach using Google account recovery
disable temporary unconditional system crash notifications since we've gotten the initial feedback we needed via the previous release
Launcher: remove "Install in private" shortcut for now since the standard behavior of opening the app in the first party app store isn't currently useful on GrapheneOS right now and is confusing to users
Settings: hide inaccurate "access private space when hidden" text that's not currently relevant to GrapheneOS since AOSP doesn't have this launcher feature yet
Keyboard: remove launcher icon to avoid it temporarily showing up in new users/profiles (not a recent regression)
GmsCompatConfig: update to version 142
GmsCompatConfig: update to version 143

2024101600

This is the initial release of GrapheneOS based on Android 15 based on the October 15th stable release of Android 15. We had previously ported all of our features to Android 15 based on the Beta releases and have been finishing it up based on the early September release of the source code for Android 15. Our initial port of all our features was completed on September 3rd and we've been polishing it up while we've been working on regular development.

extend USB-C port setting to also handle pogo pins on the Pixel Tablet
kernel (5.10, 5.15, 6.1, 6.6): replace our deny_new_usb feature with a new deny_new_usb2 feature also disabling USB gadgets
extend USB-C port setting to enable deny_new_usb2 as a second layer of defense disabling new USB connections in the kernel (the existing implementation disables new connections and USB data at a hardware level via the USB controller, which disables more attack surface, but we want to keep around the higher level kernel approach too)
Files: fix upstream null pointer exception triggered on resuming activity
Settings: require user authentication for changing auto-reboot, USB peripheral and USB-C port security settings
Settings: avoid prompting for user authentication when selecting the same value as before for GrapheneOS settings requiring it
temporarily add back memory tagging exception for Pixel wifi_ext service

disable temporary unconditional system crash notifications since we've gotten the initial feedback we needed via the previous release
add additional null check for eSIM wiping done as part of the duress PIN/password wipe implementation to avoid harmless exception
Settings: remove blank illustration from "Screen resolution" screen
Vanadium: update to version 126.0.6478.50.1
make duress PIN/password tests faster and more reliable

2024061200

This is the first release of GrapheneOS based on Android 14 QPR3, the 3rd quarterly maintenance/feature release for Android 14.

Pixel 8a is now supported as part of the standard Android releases instead of having a device branch based on Android 14 QPR1. We've had stable releases for it available since May 15th (1 day after launch) based on our last QPR1-based release (2024030300). Pixel 8a users will be getting the GrapheneOS improvements from March, April, May and June along with the Android 14 QPR2 and QPR3 improvements so it's a much larger release for the Pixel 8a.

Since Android 14 QPR3 is a major release, the end-of-life Pixel 4a (5G) and Pixel 5 receiving extended support releases from GrapheneOS will need to be ported to it with additional work in a future release, which is done as a low priority. Pixel 4a (5G) and Pixel 5 are end-of-life and shouldn't be used anymore due to lack of security patches for firmware and drivers. We provide extended support for harm reduction.

temporarily enable system crash notifications unconditionally for the initial QPR3-based release
change default USB-C port mode to "Charging-only when locked" from "Charging-only when locked, except before first unlock"
stop disabling memory tagging and hardened_malloc for surfaceflinger

Changes since the 2024053100 release:

full 2024-06-01 security patch level
extend the standard wipe-without-reboot implementation beyond wiping the hardware keystores (which prevents recovering any OS data by preventing deriving the key encryption keys) by also wiping the secdiscardable data on the SSD needed to derive key encryption keys, the encrypted storage keys on the SSD and the Weaver slots in the secure element needed to derive per-user key encryption keys via a secure element erase

Changes since the 2024052100 release:

add support for setting a duress password and PIN for quickly wiping all hardware keystore keys including keys used as part of deriving the key encryption keys for disk encryption to make all OS data unrecoverable followed by wiping eSIMs and then shutting down
disable unused adoptable storage support since it would complicate duress password feature (can be added if we ever support a device able to use it)
increase default max password length to 128 to improve support for strong diceware passphrases, which will become more practical for people who don't want biometric-only secondary unlock with our upcoming 2-factor fingerprint unlock feature
disable camera lockscreen shortcut functionality when camera access while locked is disabled to avoid the possibility of misconfiguration by adding the camera lockscreen shortcut and then forgetting to remove it when disabling camera access

temporarily disable memory tagging for the Pixel camera provider and wifi_ext services due to incompatibilities found by users which should be addressed in an upcoming release of AOSP and the stock Pixel OS

Changes since the 2024050700 release:

prevent app-based VPN implementations from leaking DNS requests when the VPN is down/connecting (this is a preliminary defense against this issue and more research is required, along with apps preventing the leaks on their end or they'll still have leaks outside of GrapheneOS)
exclude Settings app from visible Location indicator too since it gets triggered from accessing Wi-Fi data when enabling Wi-Fi hotspot and potentially other info tied to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth

Changes since the 2024031400 release:

Bluetooth: revert broken upstream change and changes depending on it to fix Galaxy Watch 6 Classic and likely other devices impacted by the same issue (this was a failure of upstream testing and release engineering for AOSP and doesn't impact the stock Pixel OS because it uses a different APEX module revision branched from an older revision of AOSP but it will impact every other Android-based OS on Android 14 QPR2 since there isn't a Bluetooth mainline module published in the Play Store and AOSP yet)
revert disabling hardened_malloc for Broadcom Bluetooth HAL (we've fixed the upstream issue and this wasn't needed)
revert allowing users to disable hardened_malloc for Bluetooth system app (we've fixed the upstream issue and this wasn't needed)
Android Runtime: disable stripping symbols for libart to restore compatibility with some popular obfuscated Chinese apps using a specific obfuscation SDK depending on private APIs which was broken by Android 14 QPR2 when not using the mainline ART module based on older code like the stock Pixel OS (does not result in any lost storage space, just slightly larger factory images / updates as if we'd bundled another small app)
Android Runtime: remove Android's hard-wired speed-profile compilation for launcher apps which was limiting ahead-of-time compilation for user installed launcher apps to the parts of the code included in baseline and/or cloud profiles rather than compiling the whole app via our default speed compilation which we use to replace JIT compilation and JIT profiles guiding background AOT compilation
backport 12 upstream fixes from the mainline MediaProvider, Wifi, NetworkStack and HealthFitness APEX modules
allow using device controls quick tile when unlocked since it already has a toggle for controlling availability so our new default requirement of the device being unlocked needs to be overridden for it
more complete setup design configuration to improve appearance of Setup Wizard, etc.
Settings: fix upstream footer formatting issue for App pinning screen
update timezone module to Android mainline 341510010 (based on tzdata 2024a)
kernel (5.15, 6.1): improve support for hosting servers by enabling SYN cookies as we do for the older kernels
kernel (6.1): drop obsolete usage of YAMA which we replaced with our dynamic SELinux flag extension

Changes since the 2024031100 release:

allow users to disable GrapheneOS hardened_malloc for the Bluetooth system app via the Settings app to help with debugging upstream bugs (still enabled by default)
temporarily disable hardened_malloc for Broadcom Bluetooth HAL as a potential workaround for upstream bugs in Android 14 QPR2 (will be reverted if it doesn't help and reverted after fixes are implemented if it does help)
fix upstream bug in Android 14 QPR2 breaking Wi-Fi tethering on fresh installs before Wi-Fi is enabled for the first time, which didn't occur on the stock OS in practice due to it enabling Wi-Fi by default
fix upstream system_server crash in Android 14 QPR2 when installing updates to packages with an original-package application id such as Vanadium (was reported by users helping with Vanadium Alpha channel testing and we released Apps version 22 with a workaround avoiding the crash prior to this fix)
Apps: update to version 22
Vanadium: update to version 122.0.6261.119.0

Changes since the 2024030900 release:

toggle USB port after device unlock to automatically detect a device plugged in while it was in charging-only mode while locked, etc.
Tensor Pixels: change default mode for our USB-C port control feature able to truly disable USB at a hardware level to "Charging-only when locked, except before first unlock" (doesn't apply to connections that were made before locking or first unlock) which can be changed by users in Settings > Security > USB-C port
fix Wi-Fi auto-turn-off issues leading to it not triggering in certain cases caused by backwards incompatible changes in Android 14 QPR2
Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro: fix enabling DisplayPort alternate mode support
Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro: fully enable PAC and BTI for userspace too, especially since ShadowCallStack is not currently used in userspace and Clang type-based CFI is only used for a large subset of the important userspace code
GmsCompatConfig: update to version 98
improve internal infrastructure used by GrapheneOS features

Changes since the 2024030800 release:

fix upstream Android 14 QPR2 use-after-free bug impacting Bluetooth LE audio with certain devices (reliably caught by our hardware memory tagging integration on the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro, but also impacts previous devices which still have the standard hardened_malloc mitigations for use-after-free)

Settings: enable Battery information screen in Settings > About device for QPR2 including Manufacture date, Date of first use and Cycle count
Settings: make the style for settings consistent between Compose and non-Compose settings
fixes for certain GrapheneOS notifications in QPR2

2024030600

This is the first release of GrapheneOS based on Android 14 QPR2. Android 14 QPR2 is the first Android release following the new development model where quarterly releases follow the development branch. This release is a massive overhaul of the OS almost as large as the migration from Android 13 QPR3 to Android 14 despite fewer user facing changes. This release includes a large part of the migration to Android 15. The new development model will be very beneficial for GrapheneOS by spreading out the porting process throughout the year between major releases as part of the 3 quarterly releases between the yearly major releases.

Since this is a major release, the Pixel 4a (5G) and Pixel 5 have not been ported to Android 14 QPR2 as part our initial release. We need to determine whether it makes sense to move these end-of-life devices to Android 14 QPR2 or keep them on a legacy extended support release branch based on the last Android 14 QPR1 release.

Changes since the 2024022300 release:

Tensor Pixels: add new USB-C port mode setting to Settings > Security providing a high level of control over USB functionality with hardware-specific integration for disabling USB controller functionality including fully disabling the data lines. There are 5 modes: On (current default during testing), Charging-only when locked except before first unlock (likely near future default), Charging-only when locked, Charging-only and Off (which even disables charging while booted into the normal OS mode). The modes tied to lock state permit already connected devices to continue working after locking and disable the data lines at a USB controller level after disconnecting. This is much different from the existing USB features including the Android 12 USB HAL toggle which only disable high-level kernel functionality and leave all the low-level kernel driver, USB protocol and USB controller attack surface enabled.
kernel (5.10, 5.15): add support for ignoring USB alt modes
kernel (Tensor Pixels): extend max77759 USB-C controller driver used by Tensor Pixels with support for a sysfs node providing fine-grained control over the USB-C data path at the USB controller level

Changes since the 2024011600 release:

isolate eSIM activation app from non-system apps to avoid it sharing data with sandboxed Google Play
make eSIM activation toggle available without sandboxed Google Play installed (eSIM management no longer requires sandboxed Google Play)
make the eSIM activation app toggle persistent instead of it being disabled at boot
remove misleading message about device info being sent to Google message before eSIM download
hardened_malloc: use tag 0 for freed slots instead of reserving a tag to allow using 15 of 16 possible tag values for random tags (there are 3 dynamic exclusions of the random values for the previous tag along with the 2 current or previous adjacent tags)
Settings: prevent disabling Camera2/CameraX extension provider app (Pixel Camera Services for Pixels) since it breaks apps using CameraX
kernel (Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 6a, Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro, Pixel 7a, Pixel Tablet, Pixel Fold, Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro): use a normal reboot on overheating instead of an emergency reboot to harden against physical attacks

Changes since the 2024011300 release:

work around upstream Android bug causing system_server crash due to failed security-related assertion by denying the action without crashing system_server, which avoids turning a buggy security check into a denial of service issue
add workaround for upstream Android crash reporting bug recording clean f2fs filesystem check results as errors which is resulting in many users receiving filesystem check error reports on GrapheneOS due to our user-facing notifications for serious errors/crashes
add workaround for upstream Android crash reporting bug causing old crashes to be reported again
add workaround for upstream Android crash reporting bug wrongly attributing certain app crashes to system_server
only show kernel crashes when the user opts into showing all system crashes as notifications since there are many false positives caused by hardware issues such as some users having devices which sometimes fail to resume from sleep while idle
only show report button in log viewer for system_server Java/native crashes, MTE crashes and filesystem check errors (which now have non-error results properly filtered out) due to receiving too many reports about upstream bugs and hardware issues
hide specific system apps and also sandboxed Google Play from Aurora Store so users don't try to update them through it and receive errors
Log Viewer: explicitly set status bar color to fix light mode icon colors

Changes since the 2024010400 release:

replace auto-reboot implementation with a new more hardened implementation based on a timer in the init process (since init crashing reboots the device, unlike system_server) which also avoids rebooting when the device hasn't been unlocked since boot
reduce default auto-reboot timer from 72 hours to 18 hours
add log viewer available at Settings > System > View logs to avoid needing developer options for making useful bug reports and inspecting the device for issues
reimplement our user-facing crash reporting infrastructure with our new log viewer app
Settings: add links to log viewer in app info and system settings
show report button in sandboxed Google Play crash report UI
adevtool: integrate support for Pixel Camera Services (currently provides Night mode for GrapheneOS Camera and other apps on Pixel 6 and later)

adevtool (Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro): update system property removal

2023120700

This is the first quarterly release of Android 14 and includes a bunch of nice improvements including using the phone as a webcam.

Starting with this release, the Pixel 4a (5G) and Pixel 5 are end-of-life and shouldn't be used anymore due to lack of security patches for firmware and drivers. Certain driver patches will remain available until the Pixel 5a is end-of-life due to shared code. We'll continue providing all of the Android Open Source Project and GrapheneOS changes for them until the release of Android 15. After Android 15 is released, they'll remain on a legacy Android 14 branch with only the AOSP security patch backports to Android 14 and some additional changes backported by us on a best effort basis. This is the same kind of extended support we provided for the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL.

2023120400

The December release of the Android Open Source Project and stock Pixel OS will be the first quarterly release of Android 14. It will likely be available this week, but hasn't been published yet. Since there hasn't been a release yet this month, we're publishing an early December security update based on the AOSP backports to Android 14.

It's unclear if 6th/7th generation Pixels received a specific Mali GPU kernel driver patch so we aren't raising the patch level for these until the official December release is available. We often backport these patches early but we don't know which patch corresponds to which CVE ID so we can't raise the claimed patch level. ARM covers up the details publicly and only releases tarballs for each major revision without the Git commit history or individual security patch backports they make available to partners, despite partners being allowed to apply those in public Git repositories. We can often figure out the patch corresponding to a CVE ID or vice versa through ARM partners publishing it, but we haven't been able to in this case.

full 2023-11-05 security patch level for generic targets and 5th/8th generation Pixels (6th/7th generation Pixels are marked as 2023-11-01 upstream which may be due to a missing Mali GPU kernel patch we can work on obtaining to apply early)
rebased onto UP1A.231105.003 (generic) and UD1A.231105.004 (shusky) Android Open Source Project releases
Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro: always enable hardware memory tagging (there is no longer an opt-in toggle) which is currently used everywhere other than Vanadium (coming soon), vendor executables and user installed apps with their own native code not marked as compatible with memory tagging
disable GWP-ASan since it's a bug finding feature rather than a hardening feature and doesn't preserve all the hardened_malloc security properties for the random allocations in random system processes where it gets activated especially now that memory tagging is supported
Launcher: add missing catch for null pointer exception (upstream bug) triggered by Signal
revert change to show crash dialog for first crash of an app since boot since this results in a high support burden from the many third party app crashes it uncovers especially since it's not enabled on the stock OS
always compile VPN service packages with speed filter to avoid background recompilation since many of these apps only automatically connect at boot and the user has to manually reconnect if the OS restarts them such as when users manually trigger app restart via the background recompilation notification

Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro: use asymmetric memory tagging mode on all cores to provide much higher security than asynchronous mode without much more overhead unlike the very expensive synchronous mode without any clear security benefits over asymmetric
enable parallel compilation of non-precompiled bytecode to native code for first-boot and first-boot-after-update with 2 processes for now (can be increased later)
improve user interface for reporting background package compilation progress
show crash dialog for first crash of an app since boot instead of waiting until the second crash like upstream Android
Gallery: fix low resolution image preview in editor
restore Android 13 behavior for installing APKs from the file manager by requesting permission for the app which created the APK (current Google Files behavior is a bit different and requests permission for Google Files, but the AOSP Files approach seems more useful)
SELinux policy: use per-app-instance MLS level for the update client domain as used for regular apps to provide better isolation from other system components

Changes since the 2023101300 release:

initial non-experimental release for Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro support
speed up skipping compilation of system packages with dexpreopt (precompilation to native code) to improve post-update boot time
backport assorted dexpreopt fixes to make it work for more system packages again to improve verified boot security, free up wasted disk space and reduce post-update boot time
use speed-profile compilation for user installed packages for first boot of an update to significantly improve boot time, then recompile with full speed optimization in the background with a progress notification and a notification when it's finished for respawning apps
temporarily disable otapreopt (precompilation of apps in the background in update Finalizing step) due to it being broken in Android 14
Gallery: remove optional dependency to fix dexpreopt (precompilation to native code)
Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 6a, Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro, Pixel 7a, Pixel Tablet, Pixel Fold: fix support for Widevine L1 on Android 14

2023100800

This is the initial non-experimental release of GrapheneOS based on Android 14. Our initial public experimental release (2023100600) was published on October 6th so there have already been a couple days of public testing. All of our documented features are now ported to Android 14. We'll be continuing to work on fixing regressions including new Android bugs and new compatibility issues caused by our features. However, it's already stable and usable.

This release provides the full 2023-10-06 patch level for all supported devices along with the recommended security patches only included in Android 14.

Android 13 is no longer actively developed upstream and now only receives backports of the Android Security Bulletin patches, not the recommended patches included in the latest stable release of Android. Pixels are also now only supported via Android 14 and require Android 14 to achieve a patch level above 2023-10-01. Android 14 has had publicly available experimental releases since February 2023 and is already a mature OS. It also contains significant privacy and security enhancements which more than offset the attack surface from added features. These reasons are why we have so heavily prioritized porting to Android 14 and began to defer more and more of our other work until after Android 14 since around July 2023.

Pixel 4, Pixel 4 XL and Pixel 4a are end-of-life and shouldn't be used anymore due to lack of security patches for firmware and drivers. We provide extended support for harm reduction.

2023100300

Android 14 is replacing Android 13 this month. There will no longer be any monthly or quarterly releases of Android 13, only the monthly backports of Android Security Bulletin patches. This is an early October release based on the Android Security Bulletin backports. We'll need to port to Android 14 to provide the full 2023-10-06 patch level. We've spent months porting to Android 14 in advance in order to make this migration as smooth and quick as possible. We weren't accepted as an Android partner so we don't have full early access to new major releases, but we've had partial early access to the sources and were able to do a lot of the porting in advance.

There wasn't a proper Android Open Source Project or stock Pixel OS release for September since Android 14 was meant to be released. They only shipped a release marked as having the 2023-09-01 patch level, but most patches which were going to be included in 2023-09-05 were deferred to October and most of the devices ended up providing the published 2023-09-05 patch level. Devices with a Qualcomm SoC (Pixel 4a (5G), Pixel 5, Pixel 5a) or standalone Qualcomm Wi-Fi (Pixel 7a) still need firmware/driver patches for 2023-09-05. Other supported devices (Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 6a, Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro, Pixel Tablet, Pixel Fold) were already on the 2023-09-05 patch level and will now be on the 2023-10-01 patch level. All of these devices will be quickly upgraded to the full Android 14 2023-10-05 patch level once it's released.

Pixel 4, Pixel 4 XL and Pixel 4a are end-of-life and shouldn't be used anymore due to lack of security patches for firmware and drivers. We provide extended support for harm reduction.

2023091800

The September releases of AOSP and the stock OS came out on 2023-09-18 and are incorporated into this release. Unusually, they still set the patch level to 2023-09-01 despite having all listed patches for 2023-09-05 for some of the devices such as the Pixel 6 and Pixel 7. We left the listed patch level alone to avoid delaying the release for aesthetic reasons while we figured out where it could be raised due to delayed Qualcomm firmware patches. We shipped 2023-09-01 in our much earlier 2023090600 release but this is the official September release from AOSP and the stock OS rather than just applying the Android Security Bulletin backports to Android 13.

The strange timing and inclusion of only a single patch (Mali GPU kernel driver fix) in the September Pixel Update Bulletin is due to Android 14 being scheduled for this month but delayed to October. The Pixel Update Bulletin for Android 14 will include a large number of recommended AOSP security patches and many hardware related patches, neither of which will be backported to Android 13, so we've already put a significant effort into porting to Android 14 via our limited early access to the source code. We aim to have our Android 14 port available as soon as possible after the stable release is published due to the importance for security. It's unfortunate we don't have full access to the sources in advance like Android partners, but we've had access to more than we usually do this year and for longer due to the delay.

We've also included additional Mali GPU kernel driver patches and a libwebp patch in this release, similar to the kernel.org LTS patches we ship on a regular basis many months before Android. We'll do more of this in the future as our resources and partnerships grow, but we don't have much ability to ship firmware patches earlier until there's hardware built to run GrapheneOS.

July release of the Android Open Source Project and stock OS for the Pixel Fold is delayed, likely only for a few days. The device was just released on June 27th with official support shipped in a GrapheneOS release on June 28th so it doesn't make sense to do an incomplete early release. We'll include it as part of this release when the official July release is available.

kernel (Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 6a, Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro, Pixel 7a, Generic 5.10): revert update to latest GKI LTS branch revision due to it potentially causing very rare update failures that are successfully rolled back (note: this is not part of the June Android 13 QPR3 release but rather we are normally months ahead on core kernel updates due to using a bleeding edge GKI release and we'll be a little bit less ahead now)

Changes since the 2023032600 release:

Keyboard: apply fix for upstream spell checking bug causing words followed by periods to be flagged as invalid for some configurations
enable auto-reboot feature by default with a very conservative 72 hour timer (i.e. the device will automatically reboot after 3 days without a successful unlock of any profile by default with users encouraged to set a shorter value to get their data automatically back at rest faster)
Dialer: add modernized call recording implementation using modern Android storage (no files permission) and with unnecessary cruft removed including not locking availability or playing a recording tone based on region (users are responsible for respecting regional laws including informing the other party or obtaining explicit consent if required)
Dialer: replace disabling bytecode optimization with a specific rule to keep fragment constructors
add generic compatibility shim catching the exception from the Gservices provider being missing to enable apps like Google Camera and the Pixel eSIM firmware app (Google eSIM activation app is separate) to work without GSF installed since they don't have any actual hard dependency on either GSF or Play services
remove unnecessary INTERNET (Network) permission from Pixel eSIM firmware app
enable Pixel eSIM firmware app by default instead of it being part of the eSIM activation toggle which is now only used for the eSIM activation app (Google eUICC LPA)
restrict Pixel eSIM firmware app from communication with non-system components to prevent it trying to get flags from GSF or a fake GSF
Settings: add Pixel eSIM firmware app to the list of apps which can't be disabled via GUI since it updates firmware
Launcher: hide "all apps" view when search starts to avoid upstream race condition where the wrong app can be opened when pressing too quickly
Launcher, Keyboard: drop GrapheneOS prefix from naming to match other GrapheneOS apps
update timezone module to Android mainline 331314020 (based on tzdata 2022g)
kernel (Pixel 4a (5G), Pixel 5, Pixel 5a, Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 6a, Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro, Generic 5.10, Generic 5.15): add back our slab allocator canary feature

Changes since the 2023031500 release:

Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 6a: switch to QPR2 stable release vendor files instead of using the QPR2 3.2 Beta release

Changes since the 2023031300 release:

keep PIN scrambling state up-to-date in all cases to make toggling it on or off kick in immediately instead of next time it opens
adevtool: remove overlay setting config_systemBluetoothStack to the wrong value (caused Bluetooth to break for users with exec-based spawning disabled, which is why the previous release only made it to Beta and not Stable)
adevtool: remove other unnecessary overlays
Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 6a, Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro: disable GSI keys

2023031300

This release includes the 2nd quarterly release of Android 13 (QPR2) and is why the March release of the Android Open Source Project and stock Pixel OS ended up rescheduled to the 2nd Monday of the month rather than the 1st Monday of the month. QPR2 includes dozens of additional recommended privacy/security patches beyond the baseline March Android Security Bulletin. Shipping the full monthly, quarterly and yearly releases rather than only the subset of patches backported to older releases and listed in the Android Security Bulletins is quite important.

We expect the official March release of the stock OS and Android Open Source Project for the Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro and Pixel 6a to be on March 20th (3rd Monday of the month). This release provides the full March Android Security Bulletin patches for them but the Pixel bulletin patches require an official release since the full set of changes isn't published yet.

Extended support for the end-of-life Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL will continue but time is needed to resolve compatibility issues with Android 13 QPR2.

Pixel 6a: enable and enforce TLSv1.2 for Broadcom gpsd SUPL connections rather than using SSLv2, SSLv3, TLSv1 and TLSv1.1 without TLSv1.2 enabled like the stock OS
disable compressed APEX support since it only wastes space when not heavily using out-of-band APEX updates and adds more verified boot attack surface
Pixel 4, Pixel 4 XL, Pixel 4a, Pixel 4a (5G), Pixel 5, Pixel 5a: switch Qualcomm xtra-daemon service to standard time.xtracloud.net server from Pixel-specific time.google.com (we plan to provide the option to use GrapheneOS servers for XTRA time and PSDS data on Qualcomm devices in the future as we do for newer generation Tensor Pixels already, and we have the server-side part implemented already)
add infrastructure for allowing apps with INSTALL_PACKAGES to avoid trying to install the same package at the same time
new PIN scrambling implementing extending PIN scrambling to SIM PIN/PUK and redoing PIN scrambling each time the PIN UI is opened

Changes since the 2023022300 release:

override carrier selected SUPL server (usually the fallback supl.google.com) to supl.grapheneos.org by default
Settings: replace toggle for disabling SUPL with a new toggle for choosing between GrapheneOS proxy (default), Standard (carrier choice, usually supl.google.com) and Disabled (users with our previous disable toggle enabled will have their setting preserved as Disabled and users who had disabled it then enabled it will have Standard as the default while anyone who hasn't touched it will have the new GrapheneOS proxy as the initial setting since it's the default)
Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro: enable and enforce TLSv1.2 for Broadcom gpsd SUPL connections rather than using SSLv2, SSLv3, TLSv1 and TLSv1.1 without TLSv1.2 enabled like the stock OS (Pixel 6a will be changed in the next release)
GmsCompatConfig: update to version 35
GmsCompatConfig: update to version 36

Vanadium: update to version 111.0.5563.49.0
System Updater: simplify the title for the silent/collapsed already up-to-date notification
disallow apps reading Global/Secure settings added by GrapheneOS via the new infrastructure since we currently have no settings apps need to read
skip INTERNET pre-grant checkbox when installing a system app in a profile where it isn't considered installed since it doesn't work correctly
add infrastructure for properly handling initial installation of system apps in Apps (our app repository client)
improve OS debug build developer option for skipping install time fs-verity requirement
reuse shared infrastructure for our implementation of enforcing a greater rather than greater or equal version for package updates
replace disabling install time greater versionCode check in OS debug builds with a similar debug build developer option as we use for skipping fs-verity checks at install time
Apps: update to version 16

This release fixes major weaknesses in Android's verified boot. Android has working protection of the firmware images, OS images and out-of-band updates to APEX components through verified boot and provides verification for every read of the data rather than actually only verifying at boot. Firmware and core OS images are fully read and verified before use. High level OS images and out-of-band APEX updates are verified dynamically when data is read via dm-verity. Unfortunately, Android doesn't have anywhere near complete/correct verification of non-APEX APK-based components including many privileged OS components implemented as apps and the apps bundled with the OS. GrapheneOS now provides an implementation of this verification to extend verified boot and hardware-based attestation to these components correctly. We previously enhanced the downgrade protection check for system updates to require a greater version rather than equal or greater due to most Android OS components not having their versionCode consistently increased when they're changed, and this is now integrated into our new verification. Fully verifying signatures of system app updates at boot isn't enough to fully extend the verified boot guarantees to them, so we're shipping signed fs-verity metadata for all our system app updates through our app repository and we're enforcing having valid fs-verity metadata for system app updates at install time and boot time. This provides continuous verification of the data provided by out-of-band package updates.

Since fs-verity is now fully enforced for installing system app updates, they can only be installed from our app repository providing the fs-verity metadata. This happens automatically via our app repository client, but you could manually download packages and fs-verity metadata to manually install them. OS releases bundle the latest releases of the bundled components so the out-of-band updates are simply a way to get updates quicker.

This release also supports out-of-band updates for Vanadium going forward due to replacing incompatible SELinux hardening with these far superior verified boot improvements along with fixing a major upstream Android 13 regression in the original-package feature causing out-of-band updates to system apps using this feature to be rolled back on reboot. Vanadium used original-package to rename the browser app from org.chromium.chrome to app.vanadium.browser so it still uses the org.chromium.chrome app id for compatibility on older installs (factory reset counts as a fresh install). Both app ids will be able to receive out-of-band updates due to our bug fix.

Changes since the 2023012500 release:

Settings: fix issue preventing users from re-enabling system apps they previously disabled which can no longer be disabled
fix upstream Android bug causing out-of-band updates to system components using original-package to be rolled back after reboot if they're still using the old package name, which will allow us to ship Vanadium updates out-of-band without the browser package updates being rolled back for users with an older install where it's still org.chromium.chrome instead of app.vanadium.browser
SELinux policy: drop base OS apk_data_file restrictions to avoid blocking out-of-band updates to APK-based system components (this was a minor security feature that's being replaced with our recent and ongoing improvements to package manager and verified boot security to close major weaknesses in the standard Android verified boot security model)
disable package parser cache since it provides a verified boot bypass for system component updates for regular boots while saving less than a second of boot time
perform additional boot-time checks on system package updates in order to extend verified boot to out-of-band system package updates including enforcing having valid signed fs-verity metadata for continuous verification (Android does not even provide working boot-time verification for out-of-band APK updates for non-APEX components)
reimplement requiring fs-verity when installing system package updates in a better way
remove unnecessary warning for failed virtual A/B sideloaded updates since it's atomic just like A/B updates
drop our extension to the install available apps feature (which is still available, without this extension) making it work for apps not installed in Owner since this is risky in a situation where there are actually separate people using secondary users and while we want to provide this feature, we'd need to come up with a way to address this to add it back
SetupWizard: stop enabling Wi-Fi automatically
SetupWizard: stop sending unused sticky broadcast

Changes since the 2023011000 release:

don't send IMSI / Phone number to SUPL server when SUPL is enabled (note: using SUPL is always an optional choice on GrapheneOS, unlike AOSP and the stock OS)
SELinux policy: drop auditing for apk_data_file execute/execute_no_trans (research is done)
SELinux policy: add back apk_data_file execute/execute_no_trans for adb shell for debugging use cases (removing it isn't really useful for hardening and we plan on hardening ADB for the verified boot model another way)
Settings: revert to standard Android 13 minimum threshold of 10% for automatic battery saver since lowering it below 10% doesn't work as intended without more invasive changes outside the scope of GrapheneOS
fully disallow installing instant apps instead of permitting ADB shell and system apps to do it (this will simplify future work)
extend self app-op spoofing used for Network permission compatibility to unsafeCheckOpRaw()
fix upstream bug causing crash from isServiceTokenValidLocked() being called without holding the lock
Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: support enabling compatibility layer for any package on debuggable builds to help with development
Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: coerce Play Store into not attempting to auto install AR services
Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: fix issues with Play Store updates of Play services
Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: avoid our implementation of the Play services location API returning null for getCurrentLocation() to avoid crashes in apps not handling it
Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: increment compatibility layer version to 1001
Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: use the most recent available version map in GmsCompatConfig to simplify defining configuration
Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: improve stack trace parser used for dynamic exception shims
Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: add shim for making Bluetooth adapter discoverable
Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: improve UX for "Action required in Play Store" notification
Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: add new shims to support requesting temporary screen capture from the user via the standard unprivileged approach for Chromecast screen casting (currently lacks shims to support audio capture)
GmsCompatConfig: add stub for LocationManager.registerGnssStatusCallback()
GmsCompatConfig: update max supported version of Play services and Play Store
stop re-enabling deprecated 2-button navigation option since Android no longer has official support for it and is gradually breaking support for it including making changes knowingly introducing bugs with it since it's not meant to be used (traditional 3-button navigation is still fully supported)
Settings: add GrapheneOS Camera to list of mandatory components since only system camera apps can provide the media capture intents required by other apps on Android 11 and above (can still be disabled via ADB but we want to avoid easy ways to break the OS in the UI)
kernel (Generic 5.15): update to latest GKI LTS branch revision including update to 5.15.80
extend the install available apps feature (allows Owner user to install apps in other users) to apps only installed in secondary profiles
Apps: update to version 13
add GrapheneOS fs-verity public key as a supported key
require fs-verity for installing system app updates (will be enforced at boot for verified boot enhancement in a future release due to the need to phase in the feature properly because of future out-of-band app updates on earlier OS releases)
Vanadium: update Chromium base to 109.0.5414.118
SettingsIntelligence: drop no longer required QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES permission now that more precise queries are defined upstream providing the necessary package visibility for Settings app search

Changes since the 2022122000 release:

fix upstream Android 13 QPR1 recent apps list bug mainly triggered after user profile switches (Android 13 QPR1 "App not available" bug)
kernel (Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 6a, Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro, Generic 5.10): update to latest GKI LTS branch revision which provides a proper fix for a backport mistake we discovered and reported
block updating system packages to versions with the same versionCode since system packages without releases outside the OS rarely have their versionCode increased when changes are made and therefore it makes it possible to downgrade them which is a security weakness in Android's approach
prefer package from OS image over equal version packages installed as an update to improve security by dropping potentially downgraded packages particularly for the verified boot security model, with the bonus of saving disk space by dropping out-of-band updates installed from our app repository once they're redundant
add an API for system apps with the privileged INSTALL_PACKAGES permission to search for packages across all profiles in order to avoid redownloading packages that are already installed in another user and to prevent attempting to downgrade a package with a newer version already installed in another user (used by the GrapheneOS app repository client within GrapheneOS to provide a better experience than it can when not integrated into the OS)
restore previous lockscreen clock font from before Android Open Source Project 13 QPR1 since the stock Pixel OS overrides it and most people seem to prefer the previous font
TalkBack (screen reader): update base code to 13

TD1A.221105.001.2022111800 (Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro)

Changes since the 2022111000 release:

don't skip ahead-of-time (AOT) compilation of apps that weren't recently used since we depend on full AOT compilation being done for performance rather than JIT compilation with background JIT profile guided AOT compilation like Android
battery usage UI: use fallback name for unknown components
change minimal value of battery saver schedule to 5% again as it was before Android 13
enable the post-upgrade "Optimizing apps" progress indication UI
app crash UI: show process uptime and optional extra text
Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: show version of GmsCompatConfig in the crash UI
Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: stop splitting multi-package PackageInstaller sessions
Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: improve handling of activity starts
Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: bugfix: Parcel position wasn't reset by dynamic stubs
Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: bugfix: missing handling of ListSlices in dynamic stub
GmsCompatConfig: make sure Play Store PhenotypeFlags are overridable by Gservices flags (further deterring Play Store trying to update Play services / Play Store beyond supported versions)
Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro (adevtool): drop unused face unlock components since we have no plans to enable support for an insecure face unlock implementation incapable providing reasonable security due to lack of dedicated face unlock hardware (Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL had dual infrared cameras, IR dot projector and IR flood illuminator providing a more secure biometric unlock system than fingerprint unlock as opposed to simply using the front camera in a way that could be done on any device)
Pixel 4, Pixel 4 XL, Pixel 4a, Pixel 4a (5G), Pixel 5, Pixel 5a, Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro: include gril library to avoid qns crash on Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro
Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro: include vendor_kernel_boot partition requirement in factory images metadata to force an error with an incompatible fastboot such as the currently buggy Arch Linux package
kernel (Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 6a, Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro): update GKI to Linux 5.10.150
Auditor: update to version 66

Changes since the 2022110800 release:

remove TrustCor Certificate Authority due to malicious domain squatting and ties to entites involved in surveillance which should have very little impact on web compatibility due to this CA barely being used by anyone other than a specific dynamic DNS provider
ignore wireless alert channels being marked as always-on to prevent channel configuration overriding presidential alert toggle

remove upstream workaround added in 2016 for legacy launchers since it creates a device-wide package list leak for apps installed in the owner user when a work profile is active
block updates of GSF, Play services and the Play Store by any app other than the GrapheneOS app repository or the Play Store itself to prevent users updating to unsupported versions from Aurora Store or elsewhere before the sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer has well tested official support for them
show presidential alerts toggle for all carriers without the alert channels disabled

Changes since the 2022102300 release:

kernel (Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 6a, Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro): fix upstream compatibility issue preventing using better hashing algorithms than sha1 for kernel module signing with BoringSSL
kernel (Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 6a, Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro): switch from standard GKI kernel module signing (used to enforce protected symbol rules for vendor modules) to forced kernel module signing as an additional lower level layer of security beyond the verification already provided by verified boot and SELinux
kernel (Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 6a, Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro): enable lockdown LSM in forced confidentiality mode as an additional lower level layer of security beyond the verification already provided by verified boot and SELinux
Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro: handle readlink system call failing in a friendlier way for detection of the camera service executable
Pixel 4, Pixel 4 XL, Pixel 4a, Pixel 4a (5G), Pixel 5, Pixel 5a, Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 6a, Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro: add back Pixel charger mode animation override removed in the 2022101600 release (fallback images aren't included on the Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 6a, Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro so this was completely missing on those devices)
disable unnecessary ldisc_autoload feature (no relevant modules available for it to load anyway)
backport fix for crosvm locking up after suspend/resume
Vanadium: update Chromium base to 107.0.5304.54
Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: stop special casing GmsCompat as force queryable by marking that way directly
Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: improve shim for background activity starts
Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: add PackageManager.getPackagesForUid() shim
Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: update link to "Google Location Accuracy" activity to match the style of the Settings app
Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: add early rejection of getCurrentLocation() requests to avoid unnecessary battery usage and location indicator when we're going to reject the request anyway
Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: check request granularity when issuing app-op checks to fix a case where apps can be blamed for doing a fine location check when they only did a coarse location check (no user-facing impact since the location history / indicator makes no distinction and it was correctly enforced for permission enforcement already)

kernel (Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 6a, Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro): replace upstream default of sha1 with sha256 for module signing (GKI devices rely on verified boot for vendor modules and only use module signing for GKI modules of which there are currently 0, but it should be using a secure hash in case there are ever GKI modules and for when we extend it to vendor modules as a lower level 2nd layer of security not depending on userspace)
kernel (Pixel 4, Pixel 4 XL, Pixel 4a, Pixel 4a (5G), Pixel 5, Pixel 5a): enable forced kernel module signing with a per-build signing key (RSA 4096 / sha256) as an additional lower level layer of security beyond the verification already provided by dm-verity and SELinux

Changes since the 2022101500 release:

Vanadium: add back 32-bit WebView support primarily due to a certain F-Droid repository distributing 32-bit-only APKs to save storage space since they lack of split APK support and are incorrectly assuming 64-bit devices support 32-bit apps (Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro have finally dropped 32-bit app support so we'll be able to build and ship 64-bit-only Vanadium on those devices, but we don't want to break existing setups on previous generation devices)
don't auto-revoke Sensors/Network permissions when 'freezing' apps with device managers
GmsCompatConfig: disable WearableDataListenerService
raise minimum supported fastboot version for the factory images flashing scripts to 33.0.3
adevtool: exclude additional prebuilt files

Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: ability to override SharedPreferences-backed PhenotypeFlags
Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: overhaul reimplementation of the Play services geolocation API used by the default enabled location request rerouting mode to support new APIs added by recent Play services releases along with fixing compatibility issues in the existing implementation
raise minimum supported fastboot version for the factory images flashing scripts to 33.0.1 since it will be required for the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro
Settings: backport and configure intent configuration related to styles and wallpaper configuration activities to make the device branch for the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro easier to maintain
prepare for future Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro support by adding them to the device lists for device prototype checks and PSDS configuration

TP1A.221005.003.2022101400 (Pixel 6a, emulator, generic, other targets)

Changes since the 2022101200 release:

kernel (Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 6a): apply patches for remotely exploitable upstream Linux kernel Wi-Fi vulnerabilities disclosed on October 13th (CVE-2022-41674, CVE-2022-42719, CVE-2022-42720, CVE-2022-42721, CVE-2022-42722) along with additional related fixes
revert exploit protection compatibility mode suggestion notification since there are too many false positives and it encourages unnecessarily disabling many of our added exploit protections for an app along with creating the concern that we'll be suggesting disabling protections after they successfully block exploitation
Vanadium: update Chromium base to 106.0.5249.126
Vanadium: switch to 64-bit only releases without 32-bit WebView support. 32-bit-only apps haven't been obtainable through the Play Store on 64-bit devices since 2021-09-01, haven't been possible to publish since 2019-08-01 and the Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro and upcoming Pixel Tablet have fully dropped 32-bit app support. Most of the legacy 32-bit-only apps people want to run are old games which will still work fine since almost none of them require the WebView.

don't auto-grant denied special runtime permissions (Sensors, Network) after app data reset
Storage Scopes: fix denial of app ops that are allowed by default
Storage Scopes: fix showing storage permission prompt in certain cases
add notification with suggestion to try exploit protection compatibility mode when apps die in certain ways (will require some thought on wording, etc. to reduce the chance of users enabling this after an actual exploit is successfully mitigated)
Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: support intercepting SynchronousResultReceiver exceptions
Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: improve handling of pending intents
Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: silence notification channels by default

Changes since the 2022092300 release:

GmsCompatConfig: disable com.google.android.westworld to avoid Play services crashes
backport fix for clat on restricted networks (note: does not fix Android 13 compatibility issue between VPN lockdown and certain IPv6 only carrier configurations, which can be worked around by switching to an IPv4/IPv6 APN from a pure IPv6 APN)

Storage Scopes: improve compatibility with apps checking storage permission app ops for themselves by spoofing the results
Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: skip app restart after permission grant in some cases
Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: move many compatibility shims to a text file with the possibility of dynamic updates of GmsCompatConfig along with triggering update checks via Apps after a Play services crash

Changes since the 2022090600 release:

rebased onto TP1A.220905.004.A2 release

add missing permission to allow Settings search (SettingsIntelligence) to query all apps
update GrapheneOS mask used for boot animation
change default build target from aosp_arm to aosp_arm64
increase maximum users to 32 across all devices since it has been confirmed the Pixel 4 and later support 64 Weaver slots
Launcher: set up themed icon support (caveat: we still need to provide themeable icons for the AOSP apps and several of our own apps)
implement Android 13 color picker support
kernel (Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro): switch to raviole kernel/build tag as the base instead of the previously newer bluejay tag

kernel (Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 6a): update GKI base to ASB-2022-09-05_13-5.10
kernel (Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 6a): split raviole (Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro) and bluejay (Pixel 6a) kernels for now due to AOSP / stock OS differences
fix for Bluetooth timeout feature with BLE devices
remove conflicting permission from GSF when parsing the package since it appears to be set incorrectly by a build system bug and conflicts with Shannon IMS on 6th generation Pixels and is blocking us upgrading to GSF v33 via our app repository
Vanadium: update Chromium base to 105.0.5195.79
Pixel 4, Pixel 4 XL, Pixel 4a, Pixel 4a (5G), Pixel 5, Pixel 5a, Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro: use stock OS copyright notices for product/system_ext/vendor instead of AOSP-generated ones since AOSP doesn't have modules with the notices for all of them (September 2022 release is the first release including these notices, which is why the Pixel 6a is not included yet)

Changes since the 2022082400 release:

add per-app toggle to relax memory corruption exploit protections for an app to allow users to work around buggy apps with latent bugs including many games like Diablo Immortal (uses 39-bit address space and Scudo instead of 48-bit address space and hardened_malloc along with forcing exec spawning for the app since the Zygote is always fully hardened)
Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: expand existing shims to further improve compatibility
improve infrastructure for GrapheneOS package state
improve safety of factory images flashing scripts by flashing the SoC firmware to the inactive slot, switching it to active, rebooting to it and then repeating the same thing again to get the current firmware flashed and safely boot tested for both slots (this provides a high level of safety for devices like 6th generation Pixels doing boot chain anti-rollback despite the fact that they neglected to provide firmware handling flashing safely)
Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 6a: erase DPM partitions in factory images flashing scripts
drop unused flash-base.sh from factory images to reduce maintenance burden for our safer flashing procedure
System Updater: catch ServiceSpecificException thrown by UpdateEngine.applyPayload(...) in some cases to properly report the error via a notification
System Updater: reduce connect/read timeouts from 60s to 30s
carriersettings-extractor: fix handling currently mostly unused field (not going to make any difference to users in practice, but may become more relevant in the future)
Seedvault: fix apk backups on Android 13
Storage Scopes: add support for Android 13 image picker
Storage Scopes: add link to storage scopes configuration from launcher recent apps activity for apps with it enabled for convenient configuration of file/directory scopes
improve app compatibility with Network toggle for DownloadManager and NsdManager
use 1.1.1.1 instead of 8.8.8.8 as the arbitrary IP for MTU detection in CLAT initialization (could be made configurable in the future)
Vanadium: update Chromium base to 105.0.5195.68

Pixel 6, Pixel 6a, Pixel 6 Pro: fix Wi-Fi HAL configuration to fix Wi-Fi hotspot

Changes since the 2022082100 release:

pre-grant notifications permission to the Clock app
fix automatic notification grants
Clock: use correct intent for opening notification settings
Clock: protect broadcast receivers including not allowing other apps to snooze or dismiss alarms (upstream problem)
Contacts: fix VCF import due by removing obsolete READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission usage
Theme Picker: fix our added wallpaper color scheme toggle not showing updated status
Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: disable Play services promotion of exposure notification feature unless the user grants Location access since this crashes with the default/normal state of Location not being granted to Play services (normal privileged Play services cannot have Location revoked so it doesn't handle this properly across multiple areas and we have multiple compatibility shims for it)

2022082100

This is the initial release of GrapheneOS based on Android 13. All of our features have been ported to Android 13. We've made many improvements as part of porting to Android 13 including improved compatibility for the Google Play compatibility layer.

For a great overview of the new improvements in Android 13, check out the great Android 13 changelog article from esper. We don't document the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) changes in our release notes beyond noting the version upgrades and our changes made in response to AOSP changes.

Changes since the 2022081800 release:

rebased onto TP1A.220624.021.A1 release
full port of all existing GrapheneOS features to Android 13
full 2022-08-05 security patch level
enable Android 13 location indicator feature by default as a replacement for the earlier location indicators we had enabled (on the stock OS this is an opt-in developer option only shown if a feature flag is enabled)
change new location indicators to show all location accesses instead of only showing high power (GNSS) accesses (preserves existing GrapheneOS behavior)
change new location indicators to show for all apps instead of only user installed apps (preserves existing GrapheneOS behavior)
show system app location access history by default rather than requiring opt-in (preserves existing GrapheneOS behavior)
Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: add more shims to further improve compatibility
fix issue with prototype device check causing the warning to be shown on non-Pixel phones without the ro.boot.secure_boot property
add back AvoidAppsInCutoutOverlay since this cutout mode is no longer broken on Android 13
fix upstream Android 13 user logout bug causing end session to be broken
drop workaround for slow lockscreen animation which is fixed in Android 13
drop workaround for SystemUI ANR (App Not Responding) false positives caused by screenshot service in Android 12
Vanadium: revert removal of mremap system call from the sandbox allowlist for now since libc is using it internally
Dialer: temporarily disable R8 optimization to work around missing annotations / exceptions upstream
kernel (Pixel 4, Pixel 4 XL, Pixel 4a, Pixel 4a (5G), Pixel 5, Pixel 5a): switch to kernel manifests instead of including the kernel source trees in the OS source tree with submodules for the module repositories
kernel (Pixel 4, Pixel 4 XL, Pixel 4a, Pixel 4a (5G), Pixel 5, Pixel 5a): switch to AOSP kernel build system
kernel (Pixel 4, Pixel 4 XL, Pixel 4a, Pixel 4a (5G), Pixel 5, Pixel 5a): use dynamic kernel modules matching AOSP / stock OS instead of using monolithic kernel builds to avoid further issues from driver bugs with monolithic kernel builds (this was a useful feature but maintenance has become too difficult and the advantages of Generic Kernel Images for 6th generation Pixels and beyond outweigh the benefits so this was already phased out for 6th generation devices)
kernel (Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 6a): temporarily use ThinLTO instead of LTO due to an upstream kernel or toolchain bug we have yet to resolve or work around in a better way

2022081800

This is the final release of GrapheneOS based on Android 12.1. Android 13 was released on August 15th and GrapheneOS is now fully focused on our port to Android 13. We aim to release GrapheneOS based on Android 13 before the end of August. We've fulfilled our commitment to providing extended support releases for the end-of-life 3rd generation Pixels until the next major OS release and all users on those devices should have moved to devices receiving full privacy and security updates such as the highly recommended 6th generation Pixels with at least 5 years of full security support from launch. After we finish porting GrapheneOS to Android 13, we may continue extended support releases for legacy 3rd generation Pixels based on Android 12.1 in a more limited capacity, but we haven't determined how we'll handle it going forward.

Changes since the 2022081600 release:

Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: conditionally stub out LocationManager#requestLocationUpdates() to avoid crashes from not having the Location permission granted (cannot be revoked on stock OS due to stock OS using Play services as a backend) which started happening with the deployment of a Play services change via a feature flag to a subset of users and will likely ramp up soon

Changes since the 2022070600 release:

add new Storage Scopes feature for granting limited access to shared storage for apps normally requiring granting the storage permission (Files and Media for legacy apps, Media for modern apps), the file management special access permission (All files access) or the media management special access permission where these apps will think they've been granted those permissions but will only have access to specific scopes you've chosen to grant to them, as if they supported granting case-by-case consent through the system file manager themselves (which is not impacted by this feature and you can still grant case-by-case access to any file / directory through it)
split out a new toggle for OBB (Opaque Binary Blob) installation (legacy approach to distributing large assets primarily used by games) so that the Play Store and other app stores with asset delivery support can be granted OBB access instead of Media access (or Files and Media for legacy apps)
fix upstream Android bug in DeviceIdleJobsController which was preventing battery optimization exceptions from fully working for system apps and resulting in delays in some cases for the Messaging app and other system apps
respect user switchability for forwarded notification UI

This release is only being pushed out for the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro due to lack of changes applicable to other devices.

Tags:

S2B3.220205.007.A1.2022031103 (Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro)

Changes since the 2022030801 release:

Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro: temporarily exclude our work on eSIM support since the full implementation requires Google services and we're taking a new approach which will result in full eSIM support including activation across all supported devices in the near future as part of sandboxed Google Play (in the long term, it can be supported without using these Google eSIM apps from the stock Pixel OS)

S2B3.220205.007.A1.2022030801 (Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro)

Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro release is a preliminary March release with the 2022-03-01 security update since there isn't an AOSP or stock OS release for it yet. It also includes several other vulnerability fixes.

Changes since the 2022030501 release:

full 2022-03-01 security patch level
full 2022-03-05 security patch level (Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro can reach the 2022-03-05 Android patch level but not the 2022-03-05 Pixel patch level until the March AOSP/Android release for them is available, and the upstream release is delayed)
rebased onto SP2A.220305.012 release, the initial release of Android 12.1 (Android 12L) which is the second quarterly maintenance/feature release for Android 12
disable Monet (color scheme based on wallpaper) by default since AOSP 12.1 has no way to opt-out of the feature or to manually choose colors instead (we'll add a toggle for enabling it later this month and we could also include a color picker before AOSP 13 but likely not this month)
kernel (Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro): apply downstream fix for CVE-2022-0847
kernel (Pixel 5a): re-apply January audio driver security patch which was accidentally dropped upstream for 12L due to it being branched earlier than January and this patch not being applied again as it was for other 5th generation devices (consequence of AOSP having the Pixel 5a kernel unnecessarily separate from the other 5th generation devices instead of merging them a year ago)
kernel (Pixel 4a (5G), Pixel 5): fix audio driver build reproducibility issue
Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: extend, optimize and improve the robustness of the compatiblity shims to improve the compatibility layer in general
Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: fix regressions in compatibility with the Google Play geolocation service for users choosing to disable redirection to the OS geolocation service in order to use their network location and other features
Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: prevent Play services from trying to update OS fonts since it requires a privileged permission and the service will crash from the SecurityException
make DownloadManager even friendlier to apps with the Network permission revoked by avoiding SecurityExceptions in more cases and giving them errors they know how to handle instead
Camera: update to version 14
Camera: update to version 15
Camera: update to version 16
Settings: always show ICCID in SIM status
Settings: show hardware SKU
Settings (Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro): add saturated color mode
Pixel 4, Pixel 4 XL, Pixel 4a, Pixel 4a (5G), Pixel 5, Pixel 5a: mark IncFS as being built into the kernel
add support code for Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro APEX enablement and under display fingerprint reader to the main branch as preparation for eliminating the device branch
SELinux policy: add missing auditallow for base untrusted_app domains
SELinux policy: add missing seinfo=base rules
kernel (Pixel 4a (5G), Pixel 5, Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro): temporarily revert disabling SECURITY_SELINUX_DEVELOP to work around upstream AOSP bug in early userspace

Changes since the 2022021721 release:

include beta release (v4) of GrapheneOS app repository client which is still in early development but now robust enough to be ready for inclusion in the OS and production use
Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: prevent Play Store from trying to update Auditor, PDF Viewer, Google Services Framework, Google Play services and the Play Store since we'll be updating these via our own app repository client (we'll be regularly updating the mirror of Google Play in our repository once the staged rollouts reach our test devices and it passes basic testing)

Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: improve code quality / robustness
mark Bluetooth service as an extra location package to avoid showing misleading/unhelpful location indicators (Bluetooth scanning is considered location access for apps, but it makes no sense to show it for the Bluetooth implementation itself rather than only actual apps using it)
Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro: mark Shannon IMS service as an extra location package to avoid showing unhelpful location indicators (it retrieves location information regularly in order to have it ready for an emergency call)

do not mark dun APN types as read-only (allows editing more carrier APNs)
temporarily suppress SystemUI ANRs due to AOSP 12 screenshot service bug which triggers an ANR in SystemUI by not handling an event some time after taking a screenshot (also occurs on the stock OS and elsewhere, and the main issue is the error message since it's otherwise harmless)

replace AOSP Camera app with next-generation GrapheneOS Camera app
set GrapheneOS Camera app as the hard-wired handler for camera gesture, similar to Android 11+ hard-wiring it as the camera media intent handler (should work around AOSP 12 lockscreen camera bugs) — note: this will be undone in a follow-up release before this reaches the Stable channel
invalidate icon cache between OS releases instead of only between major Android versions so that system theme/icon changes take effect immediately
system theme: switch to a more unique blue Material You color palette based around #1565C0

This is the initial production release of GrapheneOS based on Android 12. It's already fully functional and quite stable. Android 12 brings substantial improvements to privacy, security, functionality, performance and aesthetics. GrapheneOS features have been fully ported to Android 12 and also substantially improved as part of the migration process. The release notes below cover the full port of our features to Android 12 as a single entry in the list and improvements beyond porting are listed separately.

Settings: ignore carrier asking the OS not to show the preferred network setting, similar to how we already ignore being instructed to disallow tethering
further fixes for the upstream code implementing the eBPF-based INTERNET permission (fixes cases where it was overly restrictive for secondary users, but we already prevented it from being overly permissive by adding back the simpler pre-eBPF approach as a 2nd layer of enforcement)

Changes since the 2021.07.16.19 release:

Settings: fix displaying setting for GrapheneOS USB accessory policy (deny new usb)

re-enable current camera/microphone privacy indicator implementation
kernel (Pixel 4a (5G), Pixel 5): use new GNU assembler (gas) prebuilts and drop all other usage of the GNU toolchain since LLVM provides everything else (LLVM assembler is used for userspace, but can't yet handle the Linux kernel)
kernel (Pixel 4a (5G), Pixel 5): temporarily move to building and using dynamic kernel modules (same list as AOSP) to work around new issues with monolithic builds until we have time to resolve it to improve CFI granularity again
android-prepare-vendor (Pixel 4a (5G), Pixel 5): remove previously unused stock OS kernel modules now that we're temporarily enabling dynamic kernel module support so that only our builds of kernel modules are being used

use system theme accent color for fingerprint dialog instead of teal
integrate modern Android theme and wallpaper configuration

Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL support will now be provided via separate extended support releases for obsolete devices. We'll be making the first one based on an official release in the near future. They can only reach the 2020-11-01 security patch this month due to the lack of a release with changes outside the scope of AOSP such as new GPU firmware.

Testing the Android 11 kernels was useful, but we weren't able to ship the previous release due to issues uncovered during testing. The Android 11 kernels have minor backwards incompatible changes in the drivers for at least a subset of the devices so we'll need to ship them with the rest of the changes. Thanks to our testers for helping us with this. This will be the new final Android 10 release, assuming no further problems are uncovered during testing.

Changes since the 2020.09.10.05 release:

revert to using the Android 10 kernels on the devices that were switched over early due to backwards incompatible changes in some drivers

This should be the final GrapheneOS release based on Android 10. It ships the device-independent monthly security patches and migrates over to using the Android 11 branch of the GrapheneOS kernels for most devices, which brings all the upstream kernel hardening in Android 11 along with the full September kernel updates. The remaining patches for the full 2020-09-05 patch level require finishing the migration to Android 11 in order to ship the September update for the other device support code. It's possible we could ship some of this early, but instead we're going to be focusing on finishing the enormous task of migrating to Android 11. Further help with bringing up support for the devices with Android 11 and porting over each of the GrapheneOS hardening features to it would be greatly appreciated. Donations are also extremely helpful. GrapheneOS has brought on another full time developer using donated funds and there are 3 part time developers helping with Android 11.

PQ2A.190405.003.2019.04.01.19 (Pixel 2, Pixel 2 XL, Pixel 3, Pixel 3 XL, other devices)

Initial rebranding to GrapheneOS. This was not the initial release of the project but rather when we switched away from the Android Hardening branding used as a temporary placeholder while we chose a new name to replace our prior CopperheadOS branding.

Detailed changelogs were not written at this point.
