Hat schon jemand das Update auf Android 16 von GrapheneOS auf dem Pixel 8a installiert?
Funktioniert alles: System, Peripherals, Apps?

@rl_dane

From what I've read up to now, Google is very busy to save their arse. Google is Keeping Pixel phone sources now to it self, because there a chances that Google will be hacked up and divided up in smaller companies which will have to compete with each other, just like that process Ma Bell phone Company in the 1960s Of The last century

Do you remember the phrase?

We don't have to

We don't want to

We're the f%cking phone company!

Why would you be so masochistical and go to a totalitarian controlled ecosystem?

Just use your Android as you are used to and hack the vanilla Operating System in a manner that it is usable and enjoyable to you

On apple you will be torturing yourself and you will be paying them premium for crappy Hardware

Dang, it sounds like #Google is really trying to kill #FOSS #Android OSes.

What are my #AOSP peeps planning to do?

If OS updates get a lot slower because of this, I might have to go back to iPhone. 😭🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

UPDATE: This update from the #CalyxOS project helps answer some questions: https://calyxos.org/news/2025/06/11/android-16-plans/

It would seem that all Pixel devices will require a lot more work to port Android 16 to. It's not impossible, by any stretch, but Google has absolutely stopped helping the community in any way.

This is very bad news, all around. Not the worst news, by far, but quite bad.

Continued thread

I didn't think that Daniel Micay / GrapheneOS would already be targeting new victims and hé will be just continuing to attack /e/, but I was wrong.
The #fwupd developer is being targeted, and #grapheneos has shown no evidence of Richard's harassment of him and GOS.
Please support Richard @hughsie who is being accused of being hostile to #GOS without any proof.

Does anybody now about #RCS messages in #GrapheneOS?

RCS can be used instead of #SMS/MMS, but needs to be supported by network & devices on both ends (sender & receiver). There's a Google App (who would have guessed), but it would be better if it was supported by the built-in SMS app.

I couldn't find any option to enable it on #GOS & nothing relevant in their forums.
I know there's privacy issues to know about, but that's also true for SMS.

Any hints are appreciated. Boosts ok.

#GOs powerful concurrency system means that most of the processing to download/concat/convert the audio stream happens at the same time! There's no writing to disk throughout the process which means faster processing.
