Official releases of GrapheneOS, a security and privacy focused mobile OS with Android app compatibility.
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.
Keyboard: add new implementation of multi-locale spell checking support to fix crashes and other issues
Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: add Android Auto support with the compatibility layer eliminating the need for most of the permissions and a permission menu with 4 toggles for granting the minimal special access required for wired Android Auto, wireless Android Auto, audio routing and phone calls
Settings: remove confusing mention of Android Auto from Connected devices screen
exempt non-app system processes from Sensors permission enforcement (fixes some issues including gpsd crashes)
fix Bluetooth auto-turn-off race condition to avoid crashes
work around upstream race condition bug in biometric service
disable support for pre-approving PackageInstaller sessions due to incompatibility with Network permission toggle
fix several upstream bugs in handling crash reports mainly to improve our user-facing crash reporting system
use GrapheneOS Widevine provisioning proxy by default
add settings for changing Widevine provisioning server
add configuration for setupdesign and setupcompat libraries to improve system UI theme
kernel (Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro, Generic 5.15): update to latest GKI LTS branch revision including update to 5.15.142
kernel (Generic 6.1): initial port of GrapheneOS changes for use with emulator builds
force disable network ADB in early boot to improve verified boot security (no user-facing change since it's currently disabled by default later in the boot process, but not robustly)
So is there Android auto support now? If so, is there a documentation that lists what data is and is not protected when using Android Auto with GrapheneOS as opposed to stock Pixel
Yes, it does support Android Auto on the latest release. The implementation works with four separate toggles allowing different kinds of access. A list of what the toggles give access to appear when you try to toggle them on. Documentation on Sandboxed Google Play's Android Auto implementation will also be added to the website in the future.
That's great to hear. Do you need the Android Auto app for that? I'm only asking because GrapheneOS is my first Android in a while and I have never used Android Auto before
Amazing. Just waiting for the documentation now to see what data is collected with it. Granted I do not have a car with Android auto but probably will in the future
