GrapheneOS is now based on Android 14. Most of our changes have been ported already but we still have a lot more porting work to do. It's all going to need to be tested before we can get it all merged, and then we can start making public experimental releases based on 14. #GrapheneOS #privacy #security #Android14

    It would be fun to hardwrite Pixel 8 Pro into the OS everywhere such that apps believe they are running on it because google limits certain features to the 8 pro model.

      Doing so may not have the intended results. It seems like some of these features require the Tensor G3 processor

      Google explained that part of the initial processing for Video Boost is done by the Tensor G3 chip on the Pixel 8 Pro. The video is then offloaded to the cloud to handle the rest of the processing heavy lifting. But if that’s the only criteria for how Video Boost functions, surely the Pixel 8 should also have had the feature. Unfortunately, that’s not the case. Video Boost is currently exclusive to the Pixel 8 Pro, and for good reason.

      “We’re still figuring some elements of that particular feature, and so we felt that given what it accomplishes and what it’s giving to our users, we start at the top of our portfolio,” Soniya Jobanputra, Director of Product Management at Google, told Android Authority.
