GrapheneOS releases
grapheneos.org
Official releases of GrapheneOS, a security and privacy focused mobile OS with Android app compatibility.

Following our experimental releases, this is our first non-experimental release based on Android 16 QPR1, the first quarterly release of Android 16. Android 16 QPR1 was pushed to the Android Open Source Project on November 11 rather than September 3 as expected. This is a very large quarterly release with more prominent user-facing improvements than Android 16 provided compared to Android 15 QPR2.

  • 2025111800 (Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 6a, Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro, Pixel 7a, Pixel Tablet, Pixel Fold, Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro, Pixel 8a, Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL, Pixel 9 Pro Fold, Pixel 9a, emulator, generic, other targets)

Changes since the 2025110800 release:

  • rebased onto BP3A.250905.014 Android Open Source Project release (Android 16 QPR1)
  • Terminal (virtual machine management app): re-enable GUI support now that the surfaceflinger crashes are resolved upstream by Android 16 QPR1
  • adevtool: massive overhaul entirely replacing the small remnants of the Pixel device trees to fix several regressions introduced since Android 16 such as charging mode booting into the regular OS and to prepare for adding 10th gen Pixel devices via automated device support without any need for device trees to use as a reference
  • adevtool: switch to obtaining Android 16 QPR1 backports from the latest November releases for relevant Pixels (there are no security patches listed for the Android or Pixel bulletins and not all Pixels received the tiny release)
  • kernel (6.12): update to latest GKI LTS branch revision
  • raise declared patch level to 2025-11-05 which has already been provided in GrapheneOS since our regular 2025090200 release (not a security preview) since the patches were included in the September security preview and were then pushed to AOSP despite not being listed in the bulletin along with there being no Pixel Update Bulletin patches for November 2025
  • Vanadium: update to version 142.0.7444.158.0

Creating a security preview release on top of the new Android 16 QPR1 release is still in progress and will be available soon. For detailed information on security preview releases, see our post about it.
