penglix I have a question regarding the AOSP updates: In the January Pixel update there was a bug fix for battery drainage for the Pixel 8 and higher included. Would a bug fix like that be included in the next AOSP update? Or will it not be included since it is a specific bug fix just for the Pixel smartphones and AOSP is generic?
Johnnyloans penglix Most likely will be included in GOS. Some things are from AOSP and some are extracted from stockOS. Aosp is updated from google twice a year and the last update was December 2025. GOS has included some stockOS updates since then extracted from factory images.
MetropleX penglix as mentioned if the fix was released after QPR2 was, then unfortunately due to Googles decision to follow only a twice yearly AOSP update cycle, it will only appear in QPR4 when AOSP gets the QPR3 and 4 updates pushed. That is unless the fix is able to be backported. If it is we will certainly be doing so.
penglix First of all, thank you all for your replies! Secondly, my question was not aiming at when the update will be released. Instead I was asking whether a bug fix that is specifically for Pixel phones will be included in an AOSP update?
