We're working on fixing a regression in the GrapheneOS releases based on Android 15 which resulted in a subset of users having a subset of their Network and Sensors toggle settings not migrated over from the Android 14 permission database to the Android 15 permission database.
The Network and Sensors toggles added by GrapheneOS still work fine on Android 15. Android 15 changed how permissions are stored and the way we're migrating settings from Android 14 is the problem. In a specific case, the values are being reset back to the current global default.
Android 15 includes a huge amount of important privacy and security fixes itself along with being required for the Pixel firmware/driver patches for October. Their release was on October 15th, our first public release was October 16th and we had 8 public releases before Stable.
For each of our 7 public releases based on Android 15 after our first one, we fixed every major reported issue not present on the stock Pixel OS and some of the issues impacting the stock OS too. Not much else we can do. We need more testers to catch subtle issues like this.
Our next release will also fix 2 more minor upstream bugs impacting AOSP apps and an upstream issue impacting every Android-based OS with secondary users causing widgets to be lost repeatedly. A compatibility workaround has also been added back for apps catching stack overflows.
We'll also be upgrading our current DNS leak blocking to the stricter version we shipped in May 2024 shortly after the Android DNS leaks were discovered by our community. We had to roll that back because of another Android bug which we've now finally figured out how to resolve.
Our initial strict Android DNS leak blocking in May 2024 was correct. Certain apps like ProtonVPN try to send their VPN DNS queries without an explicit network ID and relying on Android guessing they want the VPN tunnel which it handles incorrectly and broke with leak blocking.
