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.
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.
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
Be super keen if a bit more effort was put into "themed icons" where it uses a monochrome icon for each of the apps to force them to use your selected theme pallet. I've got no idea why there isn't an option on the app level to override the default icon so that every app, regardless of how stubborn the developers are will be consistent.
There were traces in the code about the forced solution I saw a couple of months ago in an article. Apparently it didn't make it into the final version which is a shame.
Anyone by chance have the build number for the stable version?
I'm going to assume I didn't get silently updated from the beta to stable (especially since it's only now getting late over here, and OTAs normally only auto-install for me around 2AM), but I'd like to check just to be sure.
Ah, thanks! I am definitely not on that build yet then, looks like I'll just wait for the OTA (or I suppose I could sideload it, but its not that big of a deal).
It will take days or weeks for the rollout to complete. If you want it before then, you can download the OTAs and sideload them from here: https://developers.google.com/android/ota
Hasn't Android had a thing for a while where it gives update priority to people who manually check for updates? Like, my phone (7a) didn't say an update was available, but then I clicked the "Check for update" button, and now it said Android 14 is available.
So I don't think anyone who really wants the update soon needs to sideload the OTA, just check for an update and you'll probably get it.
I always do that. I think I only waited once, it notified me like 4 days later.
But when I go into the settings and manually search for the update, it always gives me the update as soon as it's announced.
I got my phone unlocked directly from Google, but I think it might still get held back based on my network. I'm not sure what the current state of this is. Historically at least, yes, it's been a clusterfuck with US networks.
