Pixel 8 / 8 Pro releases available
As per the announcement by the project, the next Pixel 8 and 8 Pro releases will no longer be marked as experimental. Furthermore, GrapheneOS will be enabling DisplayPort support for them:
matchboxbananasynergy Wahoo! Amazing work by the GOS Team. So 12 days after the Pixel 8 Series phone hardware release, we officially have GOS Support. Impressive work. Thank You from one happy user and promoter of GOS 😑
matchboxbananasynergy Is DisplayPort confirmed? I just read the release notes and it is not mentioned.
Thank you!
maximus87 It is confirmed. It just wasn't included in the release notes due to there not being proper release notes for the experimental releases of 8th gen. As it is the first 8th gen release notes, there are no "changes since the last release", thus not included here, if that makes sense.
matchboxbananasynergy hi I appreciate the graphene team have valuable and limited resources and I'm not sure where Face Unlock stands on the priority list. Have you guys been able to find anything regarding face unlock in the graphene future?
Cheers
Seconded, face unlock would be huge if the devs can do it at some point!
Yes please, I hope it comes one day and is not generally excluded. I think nothing speaks against face unlock for P8. The security should be sufficient so that it can be left to the users themselves whether they want to use it or not.
There is a lot of clamor about face unlock, but isn’t that an entirely software-based solution? The only additional hardware on the 8 to enable this is the purported ML capabilities of the new SoC, but it still uses just a single camera. I think all the magic that would enable this as a secure unlock is locked up inside the official pixel OS and not AOSP. It doesn’t seem like something GOS could adopt.
That said, I’m armchair-speculating here and could be entirely wrong.

Hopefully there will be a clear statement on this at some point. But is it really the case that everything that exists in GOS must also be first in AOSP? I thought one or the other can complement GOS or make something of their own? Would be pitty if the hardware is limited by the software :-)
Don't worry, I am a donor and I will donate more and would donate even more for some feature requests and there is nothing wrong with writing something more than once if it is important to someone.

Yo, chill out on the "face unlock" thing. The devs will certainly implement it if it's possible to do so - they know everyone wants it.
The word is that face unlock on P8 series is AI-Based so who knows what that means.
PLEASE thank the devs for their hard work, getting stable A14 out to the GOS community in record time. On GOS, P8 series even supports DisplayPort! That is huge.
@matchboxbananasynergy I guess you guys should proud you have users that now expect more or all features of GrapheneOS to match parity vs. stock. I was, and still am, just impressed you guys continue to get stuff A) Working as well as it does, and B) Your dev cycle turnouts are insanely fast.
I am happy about your answer. Thank you very much for that. I'm sorry your day was bad, I hope it will get better. Let's just get back to business :-)
I also can't thank enough for the outstanding work of Daniel, all developers, forum/matrix admins/moderators. I'm excited to see where the journey is going with GOS and what else will come, of course there are more important issues than the one I mentioned :-)
spiral They could just answer yes or no. Seeing how active the devs are on the forum elsewhere they are plainly just ignoring this specific question which drives more people to ask it.
