Pixel 10 - Experimental support for GrapheneOS is now available!

what's with the headline change?
I thought experimental GOS for pixel 10 has been available for the past week alredy

400thecat probably because they are focused on porting to QPR2 now.

I installed Graphene on my new Pixel 10 four days ago. I had a few kernel crashes, but nothing since the recent beta update.

They are known, and that's why it's experimental.

My Pixel 10 will arrive this week. Should I wait with the GOS install or just continuing patching.

Currently, there are known kernel crashes as well as other bugs. If you can tolerate these crashes that happens from time to time, then flash it. Otherwise, wait until a stable release is published.

t3st34f0ur I have not experienced this yet, although I just installed it recently. Do we just restart the phone if there's a crash or does it auto-reboot?

I highly doubt this is where I'm supposed to be posting this, but being that it's a Pixel 10 with experimental I'm using, I figured I'd post my question here. I've noticed since switching over, some options missing and wasn't sure why. One of them that stood out to me was not being able to change the clock face. On the stock Pixel 10 there were a few options to change the style, but I only see a default option in the "Wallpaper & style" menu. Is that normal under GrapheneOS now?

RNDMNM Only the 'font weight' is adjustable, counter to intuition it gets thinner when sliding to the right side.

Yes, those are Pixel specific features that are only available in the stock Pixel OS, and are not in AOSP which GrapheneOS is based on.

RNDMNM Same, there were quite some options on stock pixel, also the clock face was a bit better looking in stock pixel than in graphene, its the first thing i noticed. I dont mind not having the other clock face options but if the default one looked like the one in stock pixel then it would look so much better in my opion. But i guess with all the things this wont be thier priority at all right now.

hetter Thanks, had to change USB exploit detection too.

RNDMNM

vodka okay, that makes sense. Thank you for the reply.

Is anyone here who has flashed the os and taken the steps to move their physical sim to an esim? I'm pretty unknowledgeable on sims but I'm assuming that I can convert from my physical sim to esim after flashing the OS? I don't have to do it on pixel OS first?

mr_r0bot

chloyster I flashed my Pixel 10 and then activated with the eSIM. I did run into an issue that my provider (Visible) uses their app to activate eSIM. That didn't work, so I had to contact their support to receive an eSIM as a QR Code.

I enabled Settings> Network & Internet> eSIM support, (running GrapheneOS, not PixelOS) restarted my device, installed the provider's app in Owner Profile and was able to install several eSIMs on a Pixel 10 Pro without any issues. That leads me to suspect that it's provider dependent and not a general problem.

chloyster Maybe you could get more specific help naming your provider.

Yeah for sure, I'm on T-Mobile. Had my number forever on the same sim card and was surprised when I realized the pixel 10 had no physical slot. I have graphene OS running right now on a 6 pro so I didn't think the transfer wizard Google has to transfer it over would work. I figured I'd give them a call tomorrow to sort it out but wanted to make sure I didn't need to do it on pixel is before flashing.

chloyster FWIW, On my Pixel7Pro with GOS I switched to Tmobile from Verizon. Physical SIM slot was damaged, so I had to do esim in Tmobile store(s). E-sim download never worked for me. Quickly flashed to PixelOS, loaded esim instantly, then flashed back to GOS.

My mobile carrier obviously knows who I am. Never was a realistic concern for me. I also use sandboxed Google Play Services, so they know who I am too.

On my Pixel10Pro, I did not even attempt to transfer esim from P7Pro to P10Pro using GOS. I did it easily from home with stock PixelOS, then flashed to GOS.

Working well. Hiccups with USB port and address book noted by others also affected me -- but using GOS full time. Grateful to the GOS devs!!!

Is it safe to relock bootloader on pixel 10 pro?

spl4tt

black That's what you are doing anyway after flashing GOS, and is very recommended.

userofgos

black Is it safe to relock bootloader on pixel 10 pro?

Yes, and it's more common to brick with an unlocked bootloader than it is with a locked one. See here: https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/28369-wished-i-knew-leaving-bootloader-unlocked-risked-brickinga-warning/15

Follow all the steps in the web-installer, especially locking the bootloader and disabling OEM unlocking: https://grapheneos.org/install/web#locking-the-bootloader

black

spl4tt So if done correctly it wont brick even its experimental. Should i leave the OEM unlock on or its also safe to turn off?

Thanks!

spl4tt

black GOS will actually ask you after the setup if it should turn off OEM unlock automatically, without you having to do it manually. Yes, turning it off, including keeping dev options disabled is recommended.

So yea, the correct setup is: Flashing GOS, locked bootloader, OEM unlock off, dev options off. Just use the phone like a normal phone without modifications.
