now with the Pixel device-specific code being closed sourced
I have yet to update my Pixel to Android 16 specifically because of this.
Calyx is going to be my next update. I say that a lot, but I’ve been methodically going through all of my apps and making sure everything I use will work on a de-googled ROM. It takes time.
FYI the Pixel codes being closed sourced also affect every custom ROM that runs on pixels, not just Graphene OS. If you are already on Pixel, just keep using GrapheneOS.
Like… your device wont magically become insecure, but as time goes on, there will be firmware level exploits that the GrapheneOS team can’t easily patch because they’ll need to spend time to reverse engineer it.

I…was never using Graphene?
Currently running stock 15 (rooted). 15-based Calyx is my next OS upgrade. Or possibly e/OS (when they get to it).
