- Vanadium: restore new tab page behavior by working around regressions in Chromium 99
- Vanadium: update certain Chromium dependencies to avoid crashes caused by incompatibilities with Android 12 (will allow for multiple kinds of FIDO2 support via sandboxed Google Play once we extend the sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer to support it or once Play services whitelists Vanadium as a browser allowed to use FIDO2)
- Vanadium: update Chromium base to 99.0.4844.73
- kernel (Pixel 3, Pixel 3 XL, Pixel 3a, Pixel 3a XL, Pixel 4, Pixel 4 XL, Pixel 5a): temporarily revert disabling SECURITY_SELINUX_DEVELOP to work around upstream AOSP bug in early userspace (Pixel 4a (5G), Pixel 5, Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro had this change made in the previous release since it blocked the over-the-air update path for them despite not blocking it for these devices)
- kernel (Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro): backport CVE-2021-41073 fix (not reachable from apps due to standard AOSP seccomp-bpf allowlist)

- Apps: update to version 5
- PDF Viewer: update to version 13
- improve Android 12 PendingIntent security check compatibility due to buggy apps including Chromium targeting API 31+ with outdated Play services client libraries lacking Android 12 support (triggered much more frequently on GrapheneOS due to PendingIntent being used to request runtime permissions on behalf of Play services)
- fix compatibility of PIN scrambling with physical keyboards
- Settings: convert PIN scrambling toggle into a switch preference from a list preference
- improve USB connection icon
- backport fixes for battery usage history
- add fix for Monet color generation
This release is only being pushed out for the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro due
to lack of changes applicable to other devices.

Changes since the<PHONE_NUMBER> release:
- Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro: temporarily exclude our work on eSIM support since the full implementation requires Google services and we're taking a new approach which will result in full eSIM support including activation across all supported devices in the near future as part of sandboxed Google Play (in the long term, it can be supported without using these Google eSIM apps from the stock Pixel OS)
Tags:
- SP1A.210812.016.C1.2022030801 (Pixel 3, Pixel 3 XL) — extended support release for legacy devices with frozen 2021-11-01 patch level
- SP2A.220305.012.2022030801 (Pixel 3a, Pixel 3a XL, Pixel 4, Pixel 4 XL, Pixel 4a, Pixel 4a (5G), Pixel 5, Pixel 5a, emulator, generic, other targets)
- S2B3.220205.007.A1.2022030801 (Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro)
Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro release is a preliminary March release with the
2022-03-01 security update since there isn't an AOSP or stock OS release for
it yet. It also includes several other vulnerability fixes.
Changes since the<PHONE_NUMBER> release:
- full 2022-03-01 security patch level
- full 2022-03-05 security patch level (Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro can reach the 2022-03-05 Android patch level but not the 2022-03-05 Pixel patch level until the March AOSP/Android release for them is available, and the upstream release is delayed)
- rebased onto SP2A.220305.012 release, the initial release of Android 12.1 (Android 12L) which is the second quarterly maintenance/feature release for Android 12
- disable Monet (color scheme based on wallpaper) by default since AOSP 12.1 has no way to opt-out of the feature or to manually choose colors instead (we'll add a toggle for enabling it later this month and we could also include a color picker before AOSP 13 but likely not this month)
- kernel (Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro): apply downstream fix for CVE-2022-0847
- kernel (Pixel 5a): re-apply January audio driver security patch which was accidentally dropped upstream for 12L due to it being branched earlier than January and this patch not being applied again as it was for other 5th generation devices (consequence of AOSP having the Pixel 5a kernel unnecessarily separate from the other 5th generation devices instead of merging them a year ago)
- kernel (Pixel 4a (5G), Pixel 5): fix audio driver build reproducibility issue
- Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: extend, optimize and improve the robustness of the compatiblity shims to improve the compatibility layer in general
- Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: fix regressions in compatibility with the Google Play geolocation service for users choosing to disable redirection to the OS geolocation service in order to use their network location and other features
- Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: prevent Play services from trying to update OS fonts since it requires a privileged permission and the service will crash from the SecurityException
- make DownloadManager even friendlier to apps with the Network permission revoked by avoiding SecurityExceptions in more cases and giving them errors they know how to handle instead
- Camera: update to version 14
- Camera: update to version 15
- Camera: update to version 16
- Settings: always show ICCID in SIM status
- Settings: show hardware SKU
- Settings (Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro): add saturated color mode
- Pixel 4, Pixel 4 XL, Pixel 4a, Pixel 4a (5G), Pixel 5, Pixel 5a: mark IncFS as being built into the kernel
- add support code for Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro APEX enablement and under display fingerprint reader to the main branch as preparation for eliminating the device branch
- SELinux policy: add missing auditallow for base untrusted_app domains
- SELinux policy: add missing seinfo=base rules
- kernel (Pixel 4a (5G), Pixel 5, Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro): temporarily revert disabling SECURITY_SELINUX_DEVELOP to work around upstream AOSP bug in early userspace

Changes since the<PHONE_NUMBER> release:
- include beta release (v4) of GrapheneOS app repository client which is still in early development but now robust enough to be ready for inclusion in the OS and production use

- Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: improve code quality / robustness
- mark Bluetooth service as an extra location package to avoid showing misleading/unhelpful location indicators (Bluetooth scanning is considered location access for apps, but it makes no sense to show it for the Bluetooth implementation itself rather than only actual apps using it)
- Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro: mark Shannon IMS service as an extra location package to avoid showing unhelpful location indicators (it retrieves location information regularly in order to have it ready for an emergency call)

- do not mark dun APN types as read-only (allows editing more carrier APNs)
- temporarily suppress SystemUI ANRs due to AOSP 12 screenshot service bug which triggers an ANR in SystemUI by not handling an event some time after taking a screenshot (also occurs on the stock OS and elsewhere, and the main issue is the error message since it's otherwise harmless)

This is the initial production release of GrapheneOS based on Android 12.
It's already fully functional and quite stable. Android 12 brings substantial
improvements to privacy, security, functionality, performance and aesthetics.
GrapheneOS features have been fully ported to Android 12 and also
substantially improved as part of the migration process. The release notes
below cover the full port of our features to Android 12 as a single entry in
the list and improvements beyond porting are listed separately.

Changes since the 2<IP_ADDRESS> release:
- Clock: add battery optimization exemption required for the new target API level (this is missing in AOSP)
Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL support will now be provided via separate extended support
releases for obsolete devices. We'll be making the first one based on an official
release in the near future. They can only reach the 2020-11-01 security patch this
month due to the lack of a release with changes outside the scope of AOSP such as new
GPU firmware.

Installations made before this project was renamed to GrapheneOS and before the
first official release of the Android Hardening project will be forced to factory
reset as part of this upgrade, due to lack of backwards compatibility with the
unaltered AOSP encryption format.

Testing the Android 11 kernels was useful, but we weren't able to ship the previous
release due to issues uncovered during testing. The Android 11 kernels have minor
backwards incompatible changes in the drivers for at least a subset of the devices so
we'll need to ship them with the rest of the changes. Thanks to our testers for
helping us with this. This will be the new final Android 10 release, assuming no
further problems are uncovered during testing.
Changes since the 2<IP_ADDRESS> release:
- revert to using the Android 10 kernels on the devices that were switched over early due to backwards incompatible changes in some drivers
Tags:
- QQ3A.200805.001.2<IP_ADDRESS> (Pixel 2, Pixel 2 XL, Pixel 3, Pixel 3 XL, Pixel 3a, Pixel 3a XL, Pixel 4, Pixel 4 XL, emulator, generic, other targets)
This should be the final GrapheneOS release based on Android 10. It ships the
device-independent monthly security patches and migrates over to using the Android 11
branch of the GrapheneOS kernels for most devices, which brings all the upstream
kernel hardening in Android 11 along with the full September kernel updates. The
remaining patches for the full 2020-09-05 patch level require finishing the migration
to Android 11 in order to ship the September update for the other device support code.
It's possible we could ship some of this early, but instead we're going to be focusing
on finishing the enormous task of migrating to Android 11. Further help with bringing
up support for the devices with Android 11 and porting over each of the GrapheneOS
hardening features to it would be greatly appreciated. Donations are also extremely
helpful. GrapheneOS has brought on another full time developer using donated funds and
there are 3 part time developers helping with Android 11.
