I already performed full factory wipe. Would my bug report data still help? Are you officially working for GrapheneOS? I won't be sending any data of/from my phone unless it is so and can be confirmed.

muhomorr I can confirm same fault with my pixel 4a(5g) - was running alpha release channel.
Will endeavor to send through bug report later today.

Just tested Pixel 4a (non-5G) and it was not affected by this bug.

They're a GrapheneOS dev, or at least they're a regular contributor. Just check their commit history or the GrapheneOS Github organization members list.

I believe the bug report should still give them the info they need even though you factory reset.

I'm using Google camera instead of GrapheneOS camera and I'm disabling GOS camera via adb, but seems GrapheneOS camera is mandatory now.

Settings: add GrapheneOS Camera to list of mandatory components since only system camera apps can provide the media capture intents required by other apps on Android 11 and above (can still be disabled via ADB but we want to avoid easy ways to break the OS in the UI)

I can't disable GOS camera now or what are the adb commands to do this?

Thanks

Just curious why you are trying to disable it?

The change notes make it quite clear disabling it can break things, which is why the change was introduced.

[deleted]

treequell I always disable apps aren't using 😅

treequell

[deleted] In that case, just leave it there and ignore it.

[deleted] why dont you just switch to launcher that allows hiding apps if it pains you to see it in app drawer?

GrapheneOS

[deleted] You are using it whether or not you're directly launching it. It provides the system media capture intents. Settings UI for disabling it was removed because users don't know this. Wanting to disable it even after we've explained this only further demonstrates the important of making it harder to break the OS while still offering the ability to disable it via developer tools.

I had GOS camera disabled before the update. Now I cannot enable it. I use Gcam so it is not an issue so far.

Which device do you face this issue on?

notnn

notnn Update : I enabled the camera app through adb. Everything works fine and can now not be disabled through the phone settings, as intended

My 4a 5G also lost all connectivity.

Wired internet connection is reported to be working on updated 4a 5G Pixels in our Matrix Alpha/Beta testing room https://app.element.io/#/room/%23testing:grapheneos.org

New release for Pixel 4a (5G) is now available. If you installed the previous Alpha / Beta, the simplest solution is using USB tethering from another device to do an over-the-air update.

Alternatively, download https://releases.grapheneos.org/bramble-ota_update-2023012600.zip and sideload it.

treequell pixel 6a

treequell same here with pixel 5

[deleted] most (if not all) 3rd party launchers lack features like themed app icons or proper cooperation with gesture navigation.

treequell

notnn thanks somebody else has reported the same issue on a Pixel 6

[deleted]

nid Try Square Home, supports icon packs, I like Whicons, you can find both in Play Store. You can hide apps in the the App drawer and find them again under label hidden apps. If you like no frills, mLauncher may be your cup of tea although only system icons.

notnn what adb command did u use?

nid

[deleted] sorry, I meant the new Material You themed icons, not icon packs

What does that actually mean in real-life-usage? I have disabled GOS camera since month and didn't run into any problems so far. So what is a scenario where I could potentially run into problems here?

Some apps don't have their own camera code so they use the system camera instead.

If you've been using your phone without the GrapheneOS camera for a while now then it's unlikely you'll run into any issues before this is fixed.

GrapheneOS

wojon Apps using system media capture intents will fail to work and may crash if they don't handle the absence of a standard, expected feature. Many apps use the system media capture intents and in fact using them is best practice and far better than apps making their own camera UI requiring the Camera permission. Disabling all system cameras has been broken since Android 11.
