GrapheneOS version 2023040400 released

Themble It doesn't make sense for me to automate something as important as a reboot, which can have many effects.
Will the reboot be when you are not using the phone? Is it when I'm in the middle of something important? when you are walking and listening to music?
I certainly don't see the point
[deleted] The auto-reboot features default value is set to 72 hours (3 days) and you're free to change it to a shorter one or disable it completely.
Since the auto-reboot feature is going to reboot your device only after it hasn't been unlocked for the set time period it won't really have any effect on your important tasks. After you've unlocked your device the timer resets again.
Your phone will only reboot if you haven't unlocked it for 3 days by default so the scenarios you're worried about aren't really going to happen.

UpStream Ah, then things change. Thanks for the clarification
Themble Just wondering: what GCam version is supposed to be working?
[deleted]
dc32f0cfe84def651e0e official Google Cam app is working. Why do you need a GCam unnofficial app?
[deleted] I don't know, that's why I asked :) Will take the latest one from the Aurora store then.
Thank you!
Does this mean I can delete GCam Services Provider once the update hits the stable channel?
@Themble @[deleted] Just to reiterate what's already been said on the auto reboot 72 hour default value. Auto reboot only kicks in after the phone has not been successfully unlocked for the set amount of time. In practice, almost nobody is going to leave their phone locked for 3 days straight without ever unlocking it once. If you somehow only check your phone only every 4 days, you can adjust the auto reboot timer or turn it off completely.
So, while this will realistically affect almost no one's regular usage, it will be very useful for putting all of your data back at rest to protect it in cases where your phone is stolen/seized or anything like that. It is actually a significant security improvement to the defaults of the OS.

Nice work!
If we already set a shorter window for the reboot time (under 3-days) ... will this update respect the prior setting? ... or will it overwrite to 72-hours?
Graph_Curious It should respect it. it should only default to 72 hours if you've never explicitly touched the setting before.
Dumb question - I rotate devices very often, changing out my sim. So I guess I need to disable this feature? I have not got the OS update yet but when I do, where in settings is this feature?

brookie229 Settings > Security.
Though, may I ask why you would want to remove it? If the device is not in action, what does it matter if it's in a rebooted state where your data is at rest?
brookie229 If you rotate devices often, I suppose that you turn them off to save energy and respect the environment. So that should present no problem.
Thanks - my bad. I neglected to understand the feature and reacted to quickly before reading. Have not had my coffee yet this morning!
When will be the monthly sec. patch available? Usually it's on the 1st Monday of the month, but since it was delayed on the previous month, maybe it will be delayed again. Any info?

Regarding to this new added feature:
Dialer: add modernized call recording implementation using modern Android storage (no files permission) and with unnecessary cruft removed including not locking availability or playing a recording tone based on region (users are responsible for respecting regional laws including informing the other party or obtaining explicit consent if required)
Aren't the audio files playable from the calls history?

Just got it.
For giggles, I set auto reboot to 12 hrs, to see if it’s too big a pain in the hoohoo.
