Even with this new version, my P8P gets the error message after booting:

What is this system app “surfaceflinger”?
So far, I haven't noticed any negative impact from this system app crashing.
Is this perhaps a function that only very specific users notice?

Hello,
I am confuse, I can not download 2023120800 release on my Pixel 4a (5G) whereas release notes claim this device is supported as extended support.

I checked https://grapheneos.org/releases but there is no new release since 2023120400 for this device.

So did I not understand the extended support status or is it just a temporary bug ?

Best regards.

They don't necessarily release updates for all models at once, even if they are tagged. Pixel 4a 5G is getting some "hybrid" treatment like Pixel 4 / 4 XL.

I have the 2023120700 internal testing build (pre-alpha, not meant for public), but by by accident and can say gladly that 4a 5G is not abandoned!

Eagle_Owl What is this system app “surfaceflinger”?

It is a core part of the graphics system: https://source.android.com/docs/core/graphics/surfaceflinger-windowmanager

Eagle_Owl as I said in another post for the pervious version, this is a known upstream issue. The changes between these two versions were minimal and, apparently, didn't affect whatever is causing this crash.

[CRASH / System UI Crash ] P8P on this last update v. 2023120800 [Alpha Channel]

Using phone as usual, NO new apps, NO special settings/restrictions: Screen went Black, then GOS Logo and few secs later login screen. This happened about 4 times about 9 months back on P7P, then stopped and all was fine. I DON'T have profiles set up. Is there a crash report I can extract and send in... ?
