 GM! πŸ”₯ New #GrapheneOS 2024022300 Update! Adblocking for Vanadium, New Setup Wizard, new colour schemes and more!

Changes since the 2024020500 release:

- completely new GrapheneOS Setup Wizard implementation for the initial setup of the device and secondary user profiles

- Theme Picker: update color schemes including adding the monochromatic colorscheme option

- Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: always apply PhenotypeFlag overrides to avoid regressions for some users

- Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: catch SecurityException from setApplicationEnabledSetting() instead of relying on PhenotypeFlag override

- Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: add support for Android Auto 11.3 by extending the wireless Android Auto and phone call handling toggles to also allow BluetoothAdapter#getActiveDevices

- Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: add developer functionality for updating Android Auto via the Play Store for testing

- Storage Scopes: avoid legacy apps using legacy storage crashing when trying to access the wallpaper

- remove legacy AOSP Search app now that Vanadium provides the global search intent in addition to the more common web search intent also implemented by other browsers including Brave

- fix upstream bug breaking package manager support for uninstalling apps only installed in other profiles from the Owner user

- Settings: improve strings for network connection toggles

- kernel (5.10, 5.15, 6.1): temporarily ignore sysrq_always_enabled to avoid sysrq being enabled on devices passing it on the kernel line unconditionally

- kernel (5.10): update to latest GKI LTS branch revision

- kernel (5.15): update to latest GKI LTS branch revision

- kernel (6.1): update to latest GKI LTS branch revision including update to 6.1.75

 Does gOS push updates? First timer here  🫠 
 Yes, OS updates in background and finishes on reboot. You can also update manually via the owner profile. 
 Since this update is just released, it is in Alpha release channel first. Will move to the others in a few hours. 
 This is the new Monochromatic colour scheme you can use in #GrapheneOS:

 Graphene OS is quite functional these days.

Its literally the only reason why I don't mind using android devices.

I don't my phone activity transmitted to Google's servers

 Which devices have kernel 6.1? 
 None at the moment. It is a generic image used in emulator builds since December and is made to prepare for when Tensor Pixels move to Kernel 6.1 proper.

 Which devices are upgradable to kernel 6.1? 
 All Tensor Pixels (Pixel 6 and later) are rumored for the upgrade, by the time this will happen it's possible only the Tensor Pixels will be fully supported by GrapheneOS as devices older will be end-of-life.
