#GrapheneOS version 2025063000 released.

This is the initial official release of GrapheneOS based on Android 16 after the June 10th release of Android 16. Device support for Pixels was removed from the Android Open Source Project for Android 16 and had to be reimplemented which is why it took so much longer than usual. Please join our testing chat room if you're interesting in testing this experimental release. We'll be making a series of releases this week to fix several known issues and other issues.

- full Android 16 port (we previously shipped some parts of Android 16 backported to Android 15 QPR2 to provide the 2025-06-05 and then 2025-07-01 Pixel patch level)

- migrate to using adevtool to handle a much larger portion of device support since the Android Open Source Project no longer includes device support for Pixels

- adevtool: add new arcslib infrastructure for extracting resource overlays from the stock Pixel OS

- adevtool: use fixed build number and build date for state regeneration to reduce diffs

- don't disable external ports at boot on debug builds for internal development for debugging early boot failures

This is the first I have heard about the pixel support being dropped from AOSP. That is a really shitty move by Google.

Will Graphene still be able to support new pixels when they come out?

It would take far more work then before, note we had previous Android release device trees to reference from to do the port, when they likely won't exist for the Pixel 10.

We're yet to see if it is possible to install another OS like GrapheneOS on it.

would be nice to know what is currently broken in this initial port build, imo.

All GrapheneOS features are available and working, however we need to close our bugs, crashes and compatibility issues found by regular usage.

As it stands this release is sideload-only and later builds will be delivered OTA.
