Do we have an update on the "deactivate flag_secure" feature?

I saw in a previous post that this feature might be on the roadmap, but I was wondering if there’s any update on when (or if) it will be implemented.

I assume most users are interested in this for taking screenshots in apps that normally block it.

My use case is a bit different: I frequently use screen mirroring tools like scrcpy to view my phone screen on my PC. But whenever I try to log in to certain apps, the screen goes black—likely due to the FLAG_SECURE restriction.

I’m not too familiar with Android internals, but from what I understand, this is indeed caused by the FLAG_SECURE flag. If anyone has a workaround or knows how to bypass this (without rooting), I’d really appreciate any tips!

momo55 I think this is Issue #664.

It is fine to subscribe to the GitHub issue, also fine to use the reaction emoji at the top. The developers have requested that people not make "I want this too!" or "Is there any update?"; those will result in commenting being disabled or the issue being hidden. It is fine to submit a pull request with code, though, in accordance with the project's standards.

The more I read the more I think GrapheneOS is the gold standard of how a software development project should be run. Excellent quality of the project paired with excellent ethics of the project goals along with the superb communication skill of the team members. Very, very good.
