Happy new year everyone!
In 2025 GrapheneOS implemented:
- A network location provider for highly reliable location position without using Google's service and a geocoding service.
- Support for Android 16, QPR1 and QPR2 after Google's removal of device support and releases for all current Pixel devices.
- Heavily improved our automated porting tooling and server infrastructure.
- Our first security preview releases allowing users to recieve embargoed security patches for Critical/High CVEs a few months before stock Android.
- Closed out some VPN leaks from Android.
- Enabling experimental support for the developer option Terminal virtual machine manager app and other features like GUI support.
- Several improvements to Private Spaces, including use in secondary users, ending session for them, and installing available apps.
- Established a ASN for GrapheneOS and a highly reliable and widespread global network for GrapheneOS services.
This year should have some significant improvements with GrapheneOS, especially on the usage and accessibility front. There is also a lot of future Android features that will be key in delivering this, such as a fully working Desktop Mode. May this year wish us well.
