Pixel 4a was launched in August 2020 with 3 years of vendor support. It was end-of-life prior to Android 14 and we provided extended support past end-of-life via a legacy branch based on Android 13. It's now almost 2 years after it stopped receiving driver and firmware patches. Not safe to use anymore.

There's a table with support times here:

Pixel 4a was end-of-life after August 2023 but we provided extended support and then legacy extended support releases up to January 2025. We no longer provide those since it no longer provides real value and drains our limited resources.

It takes significant time to port backports to the initial release of Android 13 to the Android 13 QPR3 release that it's branched from.

It's a shame you don't have a Lightning address to send bitcoins to in recognition of your work.
