GrapheneOS releases

Official releases of GrapheneOS, a security and privacy focused mobile OS with Android app compatibility.

Android 14 is replacing Android 13 this month. There will no longer be any monthly or quarterly releases of Android 13, only the monthly backports of Android Security Bulletin patches. This is an early October release based on the Android Security Bulletin backports. We’ll need to port to Android 14 to provide the full 2023-10-05 patch level. We’ve spent months porting to Android 14 in advance in order to make this migration as smooth and quick as possible. We weren’t accepted as an Android partner so we don’t have full early access to new major releases, but we’ve had partial early access to the sources and were able to do a lot of the porting in advance.

There wasn’t a proper Android Open Source Project or stock Pixel OS release for September since Android 14 was meant to be released. They only shipped a release marked as having the 2023-09-01 patch level, but most patches which were going to be included in 2023-09-05 were deferred to October and most of the devices ended up providing the published 2023-09-05 patch level. Devices with a Qualcomm SoC (Pixel 4a (5G), Pixel 5, Pixel 5a) or standalone Qualcomm Wi-Fi (Pixel 7a) still need firmware/driver patches for 2023-09-05. Other supported devices (Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 6a, Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro, Pixel Tablet, Pixel Fold) were already on the 2023-09-05 patch level and will now be on the 2023-10-01 patch level. All of these devices will be quickly upgraded to the full Android 14 2023-10-05 patch level once it’s released.

Pixel 4, Pixel 4 XL and Pixel 4a are end-of-life and shouldn’t be used anymore due to lack of most security patches for firmware and drivers. We provide extended support for harm reduction with the displayed patch level frozen at the last obtainable value.
