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 Twitter account, on the official subreddit, and in the official GrapheneOS chat rooms including the dedicated #releases:grapheneos.org room for release announcements. Each of these links to the main discussion thread on our discussion forum.

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.

2023070500

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)

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)

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

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: 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

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

TD1A.221105.001.2022111000 (Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro)

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
GmsCompatConfig: change app label from "GmsCompat config" to "GmsCompatConfig"
GmsCompatConfig: disable TelecomTaskService to resolve sandboxed Google Play services crash caused by feature flag
kernel (Pixel 4, Pixel 4 XL, Pixel 4a, Pixel 4a (5G), Pixel 5, Pixel 5a): update base kernel to Android 13 QPR1 Beta 3 to ship the December security update and many other search patches early

extend original-package renaming to provider authorities for Vanadium
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
kernel (Pixel 4a, Pixel 4a (5G), Pixel 5, Pixel 5a): disable IP_SCTP

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
Auditor (Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro): update to version 63 (update was not released in time to be bundled with older devices)

Changes since the 2022101400 release:

improve wording for sensor access notification
use parent profile settings for Sensors permission auto-grant toggle in work profile
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.

Changes since the 2022100300 release:

notify the user when sensors access is denied by disabled Sensors permission
Settings: add a toggle for auto grants of Sensors permission
avoid restarting process when Sensors permission is granted since it fully supports runtime toggling
add a toggle for turning off auto grant of Network permission to package installation UI
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
Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: improve infrastructure for GmsCompatConfig shims

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)
Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: hide Stats Manager service
Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: don't report CannotDeliverBroadcastException to the user
Gallery: hide obsolete menu items
Vanadium: update Chromium base to 106.0.5249.65
Vanadium: add handling for ACTION_WEB_SEARCH intent
QuickSearchBox: drop handling for ACTION_WEB_SEARCH since Vanadium now handles it directly along with certain other browsers like Brave which makes more sense than having a search app pass it to the browser with a separate default search engine
kernel (Pixel 4a (5G), Pixel 5, Pixel 5a): rebuild production kernel with updated metadata (no changes to code)

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

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)

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

Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro: cleaner approach for the com.shannon.imsservice privacy indicator exemption by defining a new telephony exemption role (this service locally caches location for emergency calls)
Pixel 4, Pixel 4 XL, Pixel 4a, Pixel 4a (5G), Pixel 5, Pixel 5a: switch from the obsolete android-prepare-vendor to the much more modern adevtool resulting in substantial improvements to device support (3rd generation devices will keep using android-prepare-vendor since they're all going to be end-of-life after May and won't be migrated to newer major OS versions)
Pixel 3, Pixel 3 XL, Pixel 3a, Pixel 3a XL, Pixel 4, Pixel 4 XL, Pixel 4a, Pixel 4a (5G), Pixel 5, Pixel 5a, Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro: use the default carrier configuration as a base for each configuration to match the behavior of Google's CarrierSettings app, providing various minor improvements and greatly improved GNSS on 6th generation Pixels since Predicted Satellite Data Service (PSDS) for downloading GNSS almanacs was disabled with most carriers
Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro: use GrapheneOS Predicted Satellite Data Service (PSDS) server by default with a toggle added to Settings to choose the server similar to connectivity checks and attestation key provisioning (can be made into generic code for other Broadcom GPS devices and extended to Qualcomm GPS devices in the future)

2022031103

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)

stop enforcing camera sound when using a carrier based in India/Japan/Korea since we aren't required to enforce it and is trivially bypassed in multiple ways so it's nothing more than an annoyance

restrict granting the special added GrapheneOS runtime permissions (Network, Sensors) on upgrades to system apps (only relevant to Network in practice)

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)

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)

hardened_malloc: increase class region size on x86_64 to 32GiB
hardened_malloc: increase class region size on arm64 to 2GiB (should be 32GiB on devices where we've enabled 4-level page tables but that requires setting up build configuration infrastructure)
raise vm.max_map_count further to have even more leeway before VMA exhaustion occurs from fine-grained guard regions
kernel (Pixel 4a (5G), Pixel 5): fix build reproducibility issue by backporting upstream fix
kernel (Pixel 3, Pixel 3 XL, Pixel 3a, Pixel 3a XL, Pixel 4, Pixel 4 XL, Pixel 4a, Pixel 4a (5G), Pixel 5): make CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO ignore Git tags so adding tags doesn't change the result of a build

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.

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.
