🌷Spring Cleaning release🌹

On February 11, 2025, Blue Shield discovered that, between April 2021 and January 2024, Google Analytics was configured in a way that allowed certain member data to be shared with Google’s advertising product, Google Ads, that likely included protected health information. Google may have used this data to conduct focused ad campaigns back to those individual members.

The Google Discover feed is a constantly evolving beast that offers news, updates, and now social media posts right there on your homescreen.

When enabled, Identity Check requires biometric authentication to view or modify certain sensitive parts on your Android smartphone.

Following last year’s announcement, Google Messages is rolling out Sensitive Content Warnings that blur nude images on Android...

A process that started roughly a year ago with just changing browser and search engine, now feeling that I got somewhere. The journey ended up being more than just degoogle, but also demetaing and taking more control over my data and privacy.

It is a half baked review, IMO. The author says that despite having 45 W charging, the phone takes 75 mins to charge. Samsung really slows down it's charging speeds post 80%, so testing from 0 to 100 is not a good criterion at all.

GRAPHENEOS IS HIRING

One of our two senior developers has been forcibly detained and conscripted to participate in a war. When they first went missing, we revoked their repository access as a precaution. We soon learned their disappearance was completely unrelated to GrapheneOS. Our priority has been keeping them safe.

Changes in version 135.0.7049.100.0:

Our initial highly experimental release for the Pixel 9a is now available for both CLI and web install via https://staging.grapheneos.org/.

The fingerprint reader issue introduced by Android 15 QPR2 in March 2025 has been resolved by the monthly Android update for April 2025. This issue caused the fingerprint reader to become unavailable after reboot for a small subset of users nearly entirely on the non-Pro Pixel 9.

This is a regional release from the brand apparently for Nigerian market only which explains the fact that despite having decent specs( things like 90W charging, 8 GB RAM and 144 Hz high PWM dimming display), it is a 4G phone only.

On average, Google updates Android’s Calculator app once a year, and version 8.7 in 2025 makes just one straightforward change.

We're working on completing GrapheneOS support for the Pixel 9a. If you have a Pixel 9a and are interested in testing experimental GrapheneOS builds later today, please join our testing chat room on either Discord or Matrix which are bridged together.

Porting GrapheneOS to the Pixel 9a is now well under way. Pixel 9a is still using Android 15 QPR1 rather than Android 15 QPR2. We had to create a special branch for it based on taking our final Android 15 QPR1 release (2025030300) and rebasing it onto the Pixel 9a release tags.

OpenSSL 3.5.0 was recently released with support for Post Quantum Cryptography (PQC). The package update is now deployed across our servers. Our web services now use hybrid PQC key exchange with clients supporting it. Easy to confirm X25519MLKEM768 gets used in Chromium browsers.

Notable changes in version 27:

Our 2025040700 release was an early April 2025 security update release based on the Android Security Bulletin backports.

(when you hit the recents button) I can't believe they actually restored a feature that they'd removed by accident during an update this is wild. how long has it been back? how many years did it take them to accomplish this
