Today is the official release day for Android 17. We’ve already fully ported GrapheneOS to Android 17 and are in the process of pushing the code to our public repositories. We’re building a final official release based on Android 16 QPR2 today and we’ll do an initial Android 17 release tomorrow.
We’ve already tested the Android 17 port of GrapheneOS on the Pixel 6a, 7, 7a, 8, 10a, 10 and 10 Pro Fold. It will be possible for people to start building and testing it themselves later today once we finish pushing the code. We’ll start the process of public testing for official releases tomorrow.
To clarify the 2nd paragraph, we’ve ported GrapheneOS to Android 17 for all of the supported devices. That’s a list of the devices we already built and tested it. Our initial public release will be available for all the supported devices and we’ll have tested it on each by then.
Is Android 17 the Aluminium OS many people have been waiting for? If so, I don’t know what I’ll do. Isn’t it extremely integrated with AI? Is there a way to disconnect the two or remove the AI in any way? What did GrapheneOS do?
I guess you will have to find out tomorrow. I am excited for post-quantum APK signing in Android 17, but they have not released the tools for developers to actually do it yet.
Why is the Pixel 9 series not included?
Just downloaded Android 17 on my Pixel 9 Pro XL.
