Thank you for your work @GrapheneOS !

Do you want more information ?

    IamZorro Update to Gmscompatconfig version 142 and see if that fixes it.

      I've had success updating my cheetah after a few hours. Calls, regular notifications, all good.

      I was greeted with a new 'Wallet' quick setting that displaced mine, I have never used/installed Google Wallet.
      My 'one handed mode' was turned off.

      That's all I've noticed so far.

      Bug report

      Device: Pixel 6a
      Version: Android 15 Oct 16 alpha update
      Issue: default SMS application fails to work, sending a message gives an error saying its not the default SMS application, even when it is. Device can still receive messages

        Skyway Yes. As stated in my message, the message appears regardless of whether you're using Messaging or a different app as your default.

            [deleted] Just to confirm, is it out as an alpha/beta update, or a stable release? Sorry if it's a dumb question.

            It's not. It's asked every single time. Which is why I'm petitioning the team to include a statement in the releases about it being available in alpha and only coming to beta and stable "soon"

                phone-company because it's the release text that gets people confused:

                GrapheneOS version 2024101600 released:

                People think "if it's released, why don't I have it?"

                So my proposal is to simply change it to:

                GrapheneOS version 2024101600 released in the alpha channel:

                    I have issues with Instagram stories with this release. If you watch a story and interact by e.g. sliding or trying to skip, it starts hanging. Already tried rebooting, exploit comp mode, the works. Thought I'd share it here to see if more are having the same thing.

                      Another update on my side : Fingerprint unlocking now works for apps installed in Private Space.

                        Hb1hf It's an announcement of the availability of the release and is not an indication of it being in specific channels yet. The releases are usually announced shortly before Alpha. This release wasn't in Alpha until hours after the announcement due to pre-Alpha testing via sideloading being the initial focus out of an abundance of caution which was warranted since we needed to fix a Bluetooth triggered sandboxed Google Play crash via GmsCompatConfig 142 before Alpha.

                          Updated Google Family link to the latest version. It keeps on crashing at startup, on a profile with GSF. Can't say if it is Google or GrapheneOS related. Priority low.

                          Hb1hf That would not be correct. Releases are announced before Alpha, not after Alpha, and what you're proposing would then cause major confusion by implying all our releases are specific to the Alpha channel. It would be worse than how we're doing things now. Your proposal doesn't in any way address people not understanding the release process and would in fact make it much worse.

                          The system is very simple and resembles the staged rollout system used by the stock OS except that it's much more transparent and people can choose how quickly they get the release via the channel. It's clearly explained at https://grapheneos.org/releases#about-the-releases and there's a listing of the status of the release for each device in each channel on the page at https://grapheneos.org/releases#devices which we've greatly improved over the previous layout.
