Robert Braxman has published another video spreading blatant misinformation about #GrapheneOS in order to promote his highly insecure products and services. In addition to many false technical claims and fabrications about our team, he's falsely claiming the project is dying. We have a thread already debunking this recent line of attack on GrapheneOS at: https://xcancel.com/GrapheneOS/status/1936420921931084075 GrapheneOS quickly provided the June security patches, was ported to Android 16 and is working with a major Android OEM. It's not dying and we haven't said or implied it is. Braxman presents himself as a privacy and security expert but isn't one. He's a shady businessman selling unsafe snake oil products and services. His content is filled with outright fabrications and is heavily aimed at promoting his products. It misinforms rather than educating.

#GrapheneOS version 2025070700 released (a few hours ago, it's in Beta now) - raise security patch level to 2025-07-05 since it's already provided without applying any additional patches - only permit third party apps to use custom activity animations for transitions between their own activities to prevent a recently disclosed Android tapjacking vulnerability branded as TapTrap (not patched upstream yet) - Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro, Pixel 8a: fix regression breaking DisplayPort alternate mode in the previous release - Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: fix phenotype flag overrides not working on production builds which regressed quite a while ago and limited our ability to fix certain compatibility issues via quick GmsCompatConfig updates

#GrapheneOS based on Android 16 has been through extensive public Alpha/Beta testing and should reach our Stable channel today. We'll continue fixing various upstream Android 16 regressions such as the back button issue impacting the stock Pixel OS we fixed in our latest release. July Android Security Bulletin will likely be published today. We obtained early access to the signed partner preview and confirmed no additional patches were required, so we set the 2025-07-01 patch level last month after we backported Pixel 2025-06-05 driver/firmware patches. Tomorrow will likely be the first monthly update of Android 16 with a new Android Open Source Project and Pixel stock OS release. We won't need to backport Pixel driver/firmware patches since we're on Android 16 and can simply incorporate and ship the monthly update within hours.

I am no longer using the matrix.org home server and I am now on the GrapheneOS one. All new contacts can be sent to f1nal:grapheneos.org
