Google considers VPN leaks to be valid bugs but unfortunately doesn't consider them security bugs. Internal issues are created for any issue report considered valid. The external one is only used to communicate with people. If it was f

RCS already works on GrapheneOS via Google Messages using sandboxed Google Play. We have an ICC authentication toggle for granting the required access to Google Play services. We want to provide our own implementation within our Messaging a

It may take a long time to make a fully standalone implementation and that may not be compatible with most carriers. However, we plan to provide it in the short term through support for using the Google RCS infrastructure. We can have it st

GrapheneOS already supports using Google Messages with RCS. Google Messages is essentially the only RCS app for Android and it's the only one supporting end-to-end encryption. There were other apps such as a Samsung one but they died o

We've announced our plan to add RCS with Messaging Layer Security (MLS) for E2EE compatible with Google Messages and iOS. SMS/MMS will only be a fallback once that's implemented.

It's not an article but rather release notes for people who already use it. The app is only available to users on GrapheneOS as the default SMS/MMS app (eventually RCS). Our users try out the new version directly instead of lookin

A video would be needed rather than screenshots since those wouldn't show the new animations and UI flow. GrapheneOS users can update to it via the Alpha channel and try it out rather than looking at screenshots. There's still mor

GrapheneOS is entirely funded by donations. We're not yet spending nearly enough yet relative to the amount of donations we're receiving.

Providing it via the built-in Messaging app is planned but not straightforward to implement since it's not an open platform. GrapheneOS has official support for using RCS via Google Messages rather than it requiring anything sketchy. I

Motorola Mobility (Lenovo) isn't providing us with funding. They're improving the updates and security features for their devices, providing what we need to support them with proper updates and helping with the GrapheneOS port.

The issue isn't that GPLv3 applies to non-derivative OS components but rather that the terms apply to the overall redistribution of the OS. Including any GPLv3 component means GrapheneOS cannot be used in products where AOSP can be use

by grapheneos 1mo ago
It does make a difference. GrapheneOS includes a lot of GPLv2 code from AOSP and we choose it as a license for several of own projects within GrapheneOS.
