Patiently waiting for update on GrapheneOS.
Are they working fast? I install Graphene last week so I have no idea yet…
I’m interested in graphene. Pixel 6 pro do it now or wait until support ends?
GrapheneOS only supports phones that have official Google support - the reasoning is that there’s little point trying to make a phone secure if the closed source drivers no longer get security updates and might be full of vulnerabilities.
Not sure if they’re gonna support newer Android versions on 6/7 series once they go into the security-updates-only support window.
Is there a comprehensive list of all (user-facing) changes and new settings?
I thought Android Police did a pretty good job.
Thanks! In the meantime I also found a video by In Depth Tech Reviews (great channel) in which many changes are shown.
Just reporting in. Pixel 7 on T-Mobile and nothing yet. I tried that trick by turning off the SIM and checked over Wi-Fi too and nothing. I’ll get it when I get it, no big deal.
Ditto, looked at the side loading options too, and it just seems like a lot of fuss in just to get the update up-to a week or so early.
I tried sideloading an update several times earlier this year and just had a lot of problems. It kept failing half way through and I got annoyed and gave up. Back in the Cyanogenmod days I would flash updates almost every week. I’ve just reached a point where I don’t feel like messing with all that shit anymore. So I’ll wait. lol
So I broke down and just sideloaded it hahaha! It actually worked perfectly the very first time. I just followed this video.

Pixel 4 says I’m up to date on last year’s OS. 🪦
With the 4a it’s close to a scam. But what do you expect from Goo “Don’t be evil” gle?
I agree entirely with that sentiment. With this absurd abandonment of the 4a, the constant reports of owners not being able to dial 911, and my 4a randomly deciding one day to go into “emergency mode” and begin calling 911 on its own (while the phone was in my hand, I was just checking email, finger was nowhere near the power button to activate “emergency mode”), and the fact that the feature gap between Android and iOS is becoming narrower and narrower, I am seriously considering going back to iPhone 🙄
Downloading it now. Pixel 6 in Poland.
