  • I'll be interested to see if downstreams of AOSP ultimately weaponize updates against Google. For the kernel that's a minefield but Google made plenty of stuff Apache/MIT to keep its options open..

  • It's concerning to hear about the disarray within the internal workings of Android, they've spoken quite a lot about this recently such as getting access to the code and having to make manual requests.

    I'm curious if there's any back up plan to an operating system used by billions. One would think, and hope, the EU would have an alternative ready to go at a moment's notice. Android is literally too big to fail, but I doubt the EU would be ready even though you could consider the failing of Android a national security emergency.

    I would like to know more about what's going on at Google that are causing these issues.

  • I was wondering what was wrong with my phone, i thought a reboot would fix it and forget to do it everytime.

    The lags are actually quite unpleasant and noticable, i wonder how it wasn't caught before the release.

    This is such a rarity to see in today's world. I'm glad GrapheneOS is getting the support it needs. I wish that happened more often.

  • Usually I am the one making fun of people who have been claiming that "the new update made everything buggy and slow and reduced battery life" with every update for the past 15 years, but this time this one's actually real and hitting my base Pixel 8 hard. Hopefully the October update fixes it.

  • In the meanwhile you can try this temporary fix: Go to Developer Options->Apps>Background Process Limit and change the limit from Standard to "at most 4processes" [1]

  • I'm so glad GrapheneOS is willing and able to pick up the pieces and polish Android into a usable product as Google continues to drive its clunker into the ground. The only question is if GOS can rescue Android before Google sends it off a cliff.
