Any reason to not use factory images instead of OTA?
GrapheneOS Android 14 experimental release

So, what exactly is new with Android 14? There are videos, sure, but they're about Pixel features. My question is more: What's new with AOSP 14? You mention significant privacy and severity enhancements. Do you have examples? :)
A word of warning: I attempted an OTA update to this build on my Pixel 7 Pro and it failed. It went through the normal stages and requested a reboot after finalizing the update. When rebooted, the bootloader displayed a "No valid operating system could be found. Device will not boot." message.
Thankfully after a few reboots, the phone booted back into the previous Android 13 build.
klarma64 I haven't heard of any bootloader counter increase -- it may be possible. Someone more knowledgeable may reply better.
[deleted] AOSP 14 is Android 14. The Android 14 features will be available for GrapheneOS. Some features will need to be configured and enabled later. The focus of the initial port is not providing all the optional features like lockscreen clock themes.
klarma64 There are factory images for the new release. Replace ota_update
in the URL with factory
to obtain the factory images zip and add .sig
to the end for the signature. You can follow https://grapheneos.org/install/cli as usual.

GrapheneOS Aww too bad for the lockscreens and clocks. Graphene is really secure but I wish it had a bit more customization. Hopefully these will be part of what's implemented later.
Just installed via adb sideload. Took a long time to restart, but everything's OK. At first glance, everything is OK with the installed apps too. I'll continue my investigations.
Pixel Fold release has been unlisted for now due to issues found with it. A new release should be added back soon.
caesium Will I be able to roll back to the stable channel without a factory reset?
I just found this

The experimental release is running great for me on the Pixel 7 Pro. 😎👍
does pixel 4a users get android 14 ? any hope?
Can anyone confirm if 5G is working for unsupported countries now on Android 14? During the beta 5G was working on Android 14 Pixel Stock.

t1me The Pixel 4, Pixel 4 XL and Pixel 4a are end-of-life and shouldn't be used anymore due to lack of most security patches for firmware and drivers. We provide extended support for harm reduction with the displayed patch level frozen at the last obtainable value.
According to the GrapheneOS Release page, the Pixel 4a (5G) will be receiving Android 14.

Given the focus of the GrapheneOS project on security, and the impossibility of fixing firmware vulnerabilities since Google has dropped support, I doubt it.
It is possible that some other project, perhaps DivestOS, might support Android 14 on old devices, though without much security.
Please note that I do not speak for the GrapheneOS project.
Changing the lock screen is not available at the moment?
Thank you very much - it's amazing how fast you are!
Does side loading wipe the device ?
If I don't like the alpha version, can I go back to version 13 without resetting? Or does it have to be wiped?
