Did you know why there was only few Android CVE before 2015?

Hi all,
It's look very strange that before 2015 there was so low CVE declared for Android (Between 1 and 13).
In 2017 there was more than 800, and CVE was growing since Google started to publish officially his security updates (since August 2015).
https://source.android.com/security/bulletin/2015-08-01
For Exemple in 2013 the CVE-2013-6282 wasn't reported in Android section, but in Linux. Checkpoint listed this in the top CVE for Android ! https://blog.checkpoint.com/2013/12/10/the-2013-android-vulnerability-of-the-year/
And some vulnerability from this website are also missing : http://androidvulnerabilities.org/by/year/
So the view in cvedetails.com and vulnerabilitycenter.com isn't correct.
We need perhaps to add all Linux Kernel CVE to Android CVE to have a better view. (https://www.cvedetails.com/product/47/Linux-Linux-Kernel.html?vendor_id=33)
Did you know a better view with all CVE for Android?

[ROM][Treble][microG]LineageOS 16.0 for HUAWEI P9

This thread is dedicated to provide Lineage-OS 16.0 builds with microG included for the HUAWEI P9 with current security patches.
It is a treble build, therefore it could also work on other devices, but I haven't tested. And yes, the camera works!
(Although it is based on the work of phhusson's GSI builds, some specific adaptations have been made, so I guess, it is worth a try for further Huawei devices based on EMUI 8, but that's it...)
Features of this ROM

Additional security hardening features listed below
Access to /proc/net blocked for user apps
Bundled netmonitor app to allow network monitoring
Enhanced Privacy Guard: Switches for motion sensors and other sensors
Cloudflare as default DNS (instead of Google)

Mulch System Webview: M113
Source-code and build instructions
Device config.: https://github.com/lin16-microg/device_phh_treble/tree/lin-16.0-eva-p9
Build manifest: https://github.com/lin16-microg/local_manifests/tree/lin-16.0-treble
Installation Instructions
YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE SOLELY YOURSELF FOR ANY ACTIONS YOU DO WITH YOUR DEVICE !!!
Please note - I won't explain any single aspect (e.g. how to install 'fastboot' on your PC or troubleshoot USB connectivity issues under Windows). Search the net and consult the search engine of your choice or look here in XDA, there is plenty of information available.
Pre-Requisites
Have fastboot and adb installed on your PC and make sure, you can connect via USB to your device in fastboot mode and via adb
Know the key combinations to get your phone into fastboot mode and recovery mode
An unlocked bootloader
EMUI 8.0 firmware
Have the Huawei Stock recovery installed (not TWRP)
ONLY, If the above pre-requisites are met, download and unpack the linked ZIP file, and flash the .img file via fastboot (EMUI 8.0 is the tricky pre-requisite - see further below).
Get your device into fastboot mode and connect to your PC via USB - the screen should look like below, indicating "PHONE Unlocked"
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Flash the ROM with the command fastboot flash system <name of the rom img file>.img
Afterwards, enter the command fastboot reboot
Hold Power+Vol.Up to get into the Stock recovery:
Choose the option "wipe data/factory reset"
Don't 'panic' if the operation stops at a percentage significantly lower than 100% and you see a red exclamation mark, all is fine
Next, choose "wipe cache partition"
Finally choose "reboot system now"
Some hints:
If you come from an EMUI 8.0 stock ROM or a different treble build (which means, you are already on EMUI 8.0), don't forget the factory reset as described.
If you update one of my builds from this thread, you don't need to wipe anything, so you can skip everything after the 'fastboot reboot' step!
On some (but not all) PCs, you may have to run fastboot as Admin (Windows) or root/sudo (Linux)
If the above pre-requisites are NOT met, you will have some extra-rounds to perform, until you get there:
Unlocked Bootloader
Huawei has stopped providing unlock keys, so if you haven't got one, this thread, this link and/or of course the search-engine of your choice may be helpful. I was lucky enough to obtain an official unlock key on the last day of HUAWEI's unlock page, so I have no experience with the unofficial unlock methods - good luck!
EMUI 8.0 firmware
Get back to Stock ROM, if you use a Custom ROM. On Stock, if not yet done, apply all updates offered to you by the Stock ROM updater, until you are on the latest officially offered Android 7 (Nougat) EMUI 5.x release.
Huawei has shut down however their update servers for older devices and older software releases, so this may become difficult, if you are e.g. still on Android 6 - I don't have a good advice for you in this case.
Once you are on Android 7 (aka Nougat), please visit this thread, which really explains step-by-step, what needs to be done. Really carefully read everything and follow ALL the steps, especially, don't forget at the very end to flash the Stock EMUI recovery!
IMPORTANT UPDATE:
The linked thread, as well as the Openkirin documentation point - via a Russian firmware site - to the domain 'hicloud.com' for the firmware download, which seems to be down. As suggested by @zgfg you can try either his Mega link or e.g. https://androidhost.ru/search.html
Update: See this post to obtain the firmware!
Update 2: See also here
You need your unlock key handy: During this process, the bootloader will be automatically locked several times, so you need the key a couple of times to unlock again!
A hint for Linux users: The HWOTA tool is in fact a windows wrapper around Linux shell scripts, so there is no real need to use Windows, if you have a working Linux installation (however, make sure to replace the 'mkdir' commands in hwota_eng.sh with 'mkdir -p').
Android 10, 11, 12 or 13 builds?​Simple answer: There won't be any coming from my end (my aim is to provide daily-driver capable builds and not to boot an experimental GSI with lots of issues and a non-working camera) - so stop wasting everybody's time by repeatedly asking!
Bug reports:
If you have a problem, please create a post with these informations:
Build Date:
And try to get log as described here
Please note that I can't and won't support issues with builds using a different kernel or Xposed.
In regards to microG, I will try my best to help when it is related to this ROM (I use it myself), but any questions of the type "the YXZ-app can't do <some sort of fancy xyz Google functionality> properly" are better asked in the respective microG forums.

Initial feature list:
Pre-installed microG and F-Droid same as the LineageOS for microG project
Pre-installed AuroraStore (Version 3.2.4) with AuroraServices 1.0.5
Access to /proc/net blocked for user apps
Bundled netmonitor app to allow network monitoring
Enhanced Privacy Guard: Switches for motion sensors and other sensors
Cloudflare as default DNS (instead of Google)
Privacy-preferred default settings
Optional blocking of Facebook- and Google-Tracking
Optional disable captive portal detection
Firewall UI (Settings => Location & Security)
No submission of IMSI/IMEI to Google/Sony when GPS is in use
Default hosts file with many blocked ad/tracking sites
Privacy-enhanced Bromite SystemWebView 81.0.4044.76
Additional restrictions for secondary users
Increased password length

Additional security features in detail
1. Pre-installed microG and F-Droid
same as the LineageOS for microG project
2. Pre-installed AuroraStore
works w/o having to enable the "unknown sources feature"
3. Restrict access to /proc/net for user apps
An adapted SELinux policy prevents user apps from accessing the /proc/net pseudo file system, which can be misused to monitor and track the phone's internet traffic. For technical backgrounds, see here. For the legitimate use case of the smart phone owner him/herself monitoring the network traffic to see, what the installed apps do, the app Privacy-Friendly Network Monitor has been bundled.
4. Enhanced Privacy Guard - Sensor permission switches
An own sensor template to control access to motion sensors ('ask' mode) and all other sensors (allowed by default, but can be restricted) has been implemented into the Privacy Guard.
5. Cloudflare (instead of Google) default DNS
Cloudflare DNS has a better privacy policy than Google Public DNS and has DNS-over-TLS and DNS-over-HTTPS. In the deafult DNS settings (as fallback) and network diagnostics, the Cloudflare DNS adresses 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 are specified as defaults (instead of Google's 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4)
6. Privacy-preferred default settings
When newly installed, the below settings are defaulted, different from standard LineageOS 16.0 (all settings can be changed at any time later):
Privacy Guard is enabled on install (proposal during Setup)
Anonymous LineageOS statistics disabled (proposal during Setup)
The standard browsing app does not get the location runtime permission automatically assigned
Sensitive information is hidden on the lock screen
Camera app: Location tagging disabled by default
Further, when a lock screen protection is set (PIN, pattern, password), the Nfc, Hotspot and airplane mode tiles require authentication and cannot be set without
7. Optional blocking of Facebook- and Google-Tracking
Settings => Network & Internet (scroll down)
When activated, all outgoing connection attempts to Facebook servers will be suppressed.
Same applies to Google, but certain apps on an internal exception list will still be able to connect (AuroraStore, microG, or e.g. NewPipe, if installed)
8. Optional disable captive portal detection
Settings => Network & Internet (scroll down)
When activated, the system will not ping a specific Google server any longer when establishing a WiFi connection to determine, whether a captive portal is being used.
9. No submission of IMSI or phone number to Google/Sony when GPS is in use
GPS also works fine, if no SIM card is present, so there obviously is no benefit for the phone holder (different from other involved parties ) to provide this data . . .
10. Default hosts file with many blocked ad/tracking sites
The system's hosts file redirects a comprehensive list of URLs known to be adware, tracking, etc. to 127.0.0.1 (ipv4) and ::1 (ipv6)
11. Privacy-enhanced Bromite SystemWebView
Instead of the default Chromium System Webview component, the Bromite SystemWebView is used offering more privacy, more ad blocking and less Google tracking.
12. Firewall UI
Settings => Network & Internet - Data usage - Admin. data usage
Lists all apps and allows to restrict Internet access per app in regards to WiFi, mobile network or VPN
This per-app feature is a standard feature in LineageOS, but the UI to show all apps is an Extra (taken from a topic in LineageOS's Gerrit - it may, or may not, become part of the official LineageOS one day)
13. Maximum password length increased to 64
14. Additional restriction options for secondary users
- Disallow app installation option
- Disallow audio recording option
15. Misc. low level hardening
- Hardened bionic lib (see GrapheneOS)
- Constified JNI method tables

Further tips & tricks and open issues​microG initial configuration after 1st install​After the first installation of this ROM, you need to setup microG.
Please read the instructions given on the LineageOS for microG site, section "Post Install - UnifiedNlp"
Install Google speech services to work 100% 'offline'
- Launch Aurora Store and search "Speech Services by Google"
- Do not simply install it, because we need an older version
- Manually download and install, via "choose version", the version 210354702
- Add the app afterwards to Aurora's block list to make sure, it does never get updated
- Activate it in Settings and download the speech files of your preferred language(s)
- Afterwards, block the network traffic for this app to force 100% offline mode
Custom Kernel ?​A treble build is usually only a system.img file, and the stock kernel is continued to be used. Hence, the stock kernel is outdated.
If you would like to use a more recent upstreamed kernel with the respective sec. patches, e.g. the ECO Kernel thread might be interesting for you. This is what I personally use, but please keep in mind that I cannot support here, all kernel issues should be addressed in that thread! - with newest firmware b560, kernel is fairly recent again
Reported to also work on other devices than HUAWEI P9 by forum participants​As I don't own those, I can't confirm - nevertheless, I will list them, when it is reported to me.
Honor 6X
Honor 8
P9 Plus
Magisk​I myself do not use Magisk and the ROM comes with a shipped root solution. Acknowledging, that there are people, who want to use Magisk, I have collected a couple of feedbacks from forum posts:
Huawei devices aren't officially supported any longer by current Magisk versions, the latest working version for EMUI 8.0 builds (like this one) is 20.4 - so please only use that version and Magisk Manager v7.5.1
You need the respective file RAMDISK.img from the Huwei Firmware of your device. When the Magisk instructions state 'boot.img', you take the file RAMDISK.img instead. The resulting 'patched_boot.img' file (whatever its real name will be, adapt the name accordingly for the following fastboot command) is to be used for the fastboot command fastboot flash ramdisk patched_boot.img
Current Issues (reported by others and/or observed by myself)​Below a list of known issues and/or limitations. If possible, I try to fix those; however - I definitely welcome any hint on how to solve (or even pull requests). Please report anything you observe, while using this ROM.
1. No LineageOS boot animation after input of encryption password at startup
Observed by: myself
Well, this is nothing of importance to me, so unless somebody points me to a solution, I won't spend time on fixing this
2. Bluetooth issues - confirmed no issue
Observed by: other thread participant(s)
Issue: No devices found to connect to.
I don't have any BT issues with my own device (other than the device initially pairing as "hello!", so you would have to manually change the device name as a one-time activity) - Can't therefore really do anything about it, but wil keep an eye on reports
3. AuroraStore does not find app 'xyz' - solved
In the AuroraStore support thread, this has been also mentioned; it seems that Google is right now altering the search API; the dev is working on it.
Different from a report here in this thread, I was able to search and find many popular apps - the only restriction, which I myself was confronted with, was Netflix. As a work-around, manually download the Netflix apk (older version) from a trustworthy source - the app itself runs fine.
4. Headphone issues (1)
(Physical, no BT) headphone put in headphone jack - solved via work-around
Observed by: myself
Issue: Testing sound volumes in Settings app => all fine. But playing audio / video files or streams only plays good sound for less than 0,5 seconds, afterwards it seems that only the high frequency sounds (treble) are audible, whilst medium and bass is hardly audible.
Work-around: Switch off Audio-FX, when headset plugged in (the cool thing is, Audio-FX remembers this, so it switches off, when headset plugged in and switches on again if head-set unplugged)
5. Headphone issues (2)
(Physical, no BT) headphone put in headphone jack
Observed by: other thread participant
Issue: Head-phone not recognized, sound continues to be output to speakers - workaround: "Lesser audioswitch" app
Could not reproduce this on my own device
6. WiFi Hotspot - solved
Observed by: other thread participant and confirmed on my own device
Issue: WiFi Hotspot does not work
7. Detailled Battery stats not available - solved
Observed by: other thread participant and confirmed on my own device
Issue: In Battery usage menu, no detail Battery use (per app) available
8. Battery drain - solved
A proper power profile has been added, so battery behavior is quite good now.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure that you make use of 'USB debugging' in the developer options only when you need it and directly turn it off again after use.
Turned on USB debugging is one major reason for battery drain for this device.

Works on Honor 8.
I will test the battery life in the coming days.

this rom passes safety net?

No - I don't think so, this ROM is Gapps-free.

it is safe to replace micro-g with opengapps and then install magisk?

Feel free to try, that's all I can say.
Not sure however, whether it'll work in regards to Gapps.
How do you want to flash them? There is AFAIK no TWRP available being able to decrypt the Huawei /data partitions ...
Regarding Magisk, where you definitely need to access the /data partition, there is some instruction on openkirin.net how to do that.
But as said, you're on your own when doing so!

ROM doesn't route sound to headphones no matter what I do. I tried to force it to switch to headset in phh options and it's still playing sound only on speakers. Also Bluetooth doesn't work, but WLAN and RIL do work.
Stock kernel + stock ramdisk + this ROM
Magisk can be installed by flashing a modified Magisk 18 image that works with B540-02 kernels and then updating it to latest with the manager. But I am not using it for now.
EDIT: Using Lesser Audioswitch from Aurora Store avoids the problem by forcing the audio to be routed manually, but it should work out of the box automatically! Bluetooth still not working.
That aside, good ROM. It is more functional than a generic phh-treble flash and video recording works well. Thanks for your time and effort, this is a good alternative to OpenKirin and ironing out these little issues would make it sweeter. Try looking at other source trees for the necessary device driver definitions
EDIT 2: I misdiagnosed the issue. Bluetooth in fact DOES work, but it has some quirks: The device is initially named 'hello', the BT icon doesn't appear in the status bar and the device must be paired before any transfer, but that seems to be a universal Kirin quirk as well. Further testing pairing, sending, receiving and streaming audio confirm that the BT chip does work but perhaps needs some changes in the Android side.
WLAN, RIL, BT and NFC are all functional.

Thanks for the comprehensive feedback and the in general positive rating. On my P9, headphones work out of the box - but indeed, the headphone sound isn't that good, will try to have a look here.
Bluetooth works fine as well on my device - haven't tested however after latest tweak for a different area not related to BT. Will test again later today.
Are you using a different device than the P9 maybe?
What is the BT issue exactly on your device?
EDIT: BT works w/o issues, just tested again.

Do you plan to provide regular updates with the latest security patches in the future?

It's an EVA-L09 rebranded to AL10, B540 Patch02 firmware. I'm pretty well sure it is indeed an original P9 with a HiSilicon hi3650 SoC.

BT icon on status bar doesn't appear when I try to enable Bluetooth, and the menu cannot find any devices. Also the default device is named 'hello' for some reason it seems like the ROM cannot autodetect the BT chip. I'll try to logcat the issue
Again, thanks for the quick response
EDIT: Bluetooth works as intended, but it doesn't display anything.

Perfect, that's great! Thank you!
I installed the ROM today and most of it works very well so far.
However, some apps like 'Signal Messenger' or 'WhatsApp' are somehow missing in the Aurora Store, whereas some other apps (e.g. Titanium Backup) can be found and installed as usual.
Since the Aurora Store 3.2.4 works fine with OpenKirin OmniRom Pie (tried today) this seems to be an issue of this ROM.

I'm also using a P9 EVA-L09 rebranded to AL10.
On my phone the bluetooth connection works fine and if a device is connected, the BT icon also appears in the status bar.
But I can confirm, that there is no bluetooth icon in the status bar, when bluetooth is enabled, but no device is connected.

Most of things are works will , I have issue that can't find Netflix , Snapchat ...etc . In play store but installed Snapchat Manually and can't login. Try hide with magisk but not working , nice ROM.

I was able w/o issues to see WA and Signal, but not Netflix. As with Netflix, there are special checks, so looking for a solution. Regarding Signal and WA, I know there is currently still an open issue with Aurora and the changed search API by Google, which causes random issues for search results...

Question AT&T G996USQU5CVDL with May 1st 2022 Android Security Patch Level is out

From QU5CVDB to QU5CVDL - Apparently a small update - No updates to the security patch level - Nothing new to report.

General Android 13 QPR3 went final in June 2023-opt-out now to get the OTA without wiping - Pixel 7 Pro [Cheetah] - [thread also for future Android QPR Betas]

Pixel 7 Pro [Cheetah] QPR Betas​
QPR stands for "Quarterly Platform Release". Android 13 QPR3 went final in June 2023. See main thread here for final/non-beta releases.
You can officially opt into the Android Beta Program there, or use the factory image or OTA below. You can no longer manually opt into the QPR3 Beta program - only the Android 14 Beta is offered to opt into:

I don't know for sure, but I suspect that no one can opt into the QPR3 Beta program any longer.
Even Google's QPR3 Beta release page:
Android 13 | Android Developers
<!-- hide description -->
developer.android.com
which has a link:
and leads to:
Get Android 13 | Android Developers
Get an Android 13 on your eligible device.
developer.android.com
the Enroll in Android 13 Beta for Pixel button there still leads to:
Android Beta Program
Android Beta Program allows you to enroll your Android device for beta releases.
www.google.com
which only mentions Android 14 Beta.
So I think your only choice if you want to try QPR3 Beta is to have an unlocked bootloader and flash the factory image, or I think it's possible to sideload the OTA without unlocking the bootloader - but it's highly discouraged to try a Beta with a locked bootloader, as you'll be locked into the Beta program (via manual OTA sideloads) until it goes final, and you'll have no choice but to deal with the issues.

I don't plan on testing Betas of any sort, but feel free to use this thread for everything about the QPR Betas or major Android version betas for the Pixel 7 Pro. I'll update the information in the OP when necessary. See Post #2 in my main thread for general information (Unlocking Bootloader / Rooting / Updating | SafetyNet working again | ADB/Fastboot & Windows USB Drivers) but ask questions or make observations about all betas in this thread, please.
Once a QPR or major Android version goes final, I'll take those discussions to my main thread.

Android 13 QPR3 Beta 1 set to arrive next week
It looks like Google is ready to start its next stage of testing, as it is set to release Android 13 QPR3 Beta 1 next week.

Android 13 QPR3 Beta 1 set to arrive next week​BYTIMI CANTISANO

It looks like Google is ready to start its next stage of testing, as it is set to release Android 13 QPR3 Beta 1 next week.

Well, it looks like Google is ready to move onto the next step of its QPR (Quarterly Platform Release) beta program, announcing that Android 13 QPR3 Beta 1 will be arriving next week. This beta will allow users to get an early look at the Android 13 QPR3 release set to make its debut sometime in June.
The company announced the news through Reddit, giving users an early heads up of what to expect. While it didn't get into the details of what might show up in the beta release, it did state that those enrolled in the current Beta Program would automatically get the latest update when it's released.
Now, one thing to note, and something Google does state, is that in order to be eligible for the stable release of Android 13 QPR2, users will need to manually opt out. Previously, this update was rolled out to those in the Beta Program, but going forward, it looks like if you're enrolled in the beta, you'll just keep receiving beta releases, skipping over the general release of the OS.
While this isn't a big deal, sometimes betas aren't all that stable, so if you are using this on your main device, now might be a perfect time to opt out. Of course, you can always choose to opt out at any time, but by doing so in a beta release cycle you'll be forced to wipe out your device and start fresh. So, if you're having any second thoughts, now's the time to make the change.
Google does have some tips for users ahead of the Android 13 QPR3 Beta 1 release, stating that if you've opted out, just wait until the stable release and apply that update instead of downgrading. The main reason to go this route, and as stated above, is to avoid wiping your device. Now, for the most part, this and any other beta from Google will be released through its Beta Program or you can download and install the beta updates manually too.

Hi Beta users,
With the release of our final Android 13 QPR2 Beta update a few weeks ago, we are now preparing for our next Beta Program cycle that covers our Android 13 June release (QPR3). Android 13 QPR3 Beta 1 will kick off the week of March 13th. If you take no action and remain enrolled in the Beta Program, you will automatically receive Android 13 QPR3 Beta 1 starting next week.
We are changing our beta release process - to receive the upcoming March QPR2 public stable release, devices currently enrolled in Beta will need to first opt out of the program. Devices that remain enrolled in the Beta Program will receive Android 13 QPR3 Beta 1.
If you prefer to exit the Beta Program and receive the final public March QPR2 update without the need to wipe your data, please do one of the following:
Opt out of the program before March 13th, ignore/don’t apply the downgrade OTA update, and wait for the final public stable release of the March Feature Drop (QPR2) releasing this month. Opting out will not cause a data wipe as long as you don’t apply the downgrade OTA. Note: If you want to immediately return to the latest public version, you can apply the downgrade OTA which will require a data wipe per usual program guidelines.
If you receive the Android 13 QPR3 Beta 1 update, don’t install the update. Instead, first opt out of the program, ignore/don’t apply the downgrade OTA update, and wait for the official March public release. Note: If you opt-out of the program after installing the QPR3 beta 1 update, all user data on the device will get wiped per usual program guidelines.
We will continue to post updates and information on the upcoming Android 13 QPR3 Beta here in this community.

Android 13 QPR1 Beta 3 is here for the Google Pixel series​By Adam Conway
Published 2 hours ago
+
If you have a Google Pixel device, you can now install the latest QPR1 Beta based on Android 13.
If you have a Google Pixel smartphone, you're undoubtedly aware of the advantage that you have in installing beta builds of the newest Android builds. Google has recently taken to releasing Quarterly Platform Release (QPR) betas, ahead of quarterly Google Pixel feature drops. Android 13 QPR1 Beta 1 was released in September this year and was quickly followed up by Beta 2 earlier this month. Now Android 13 QPR1 Beta 3 is here, and it has even more bug fixes and improvements.
This update is now live and available for supported Pixel devices like the Pixel 4a, Pixel 4a 5G, Pixel 5, Pixel 5a, Pixel 6, and even the Pixel 7 series of devices. This is the first beta that you can download for the Google Pixel 7 series. As mentioned before, QPR releases offer improvements or enhancements to Android that are not available to the public yet. The following changelog was shared by Google.
Fixed an issue for some devices where the screen unlock UI was displayed over notifications and other lock-screen content. (Issue #254163754)
Other resolved issues
Fixed an issue that prevented the "Flip camera for selfie" gesture from working on some devices.
Fixed an issue that sometimes caused the screen to go blank while attempting to unlock a device.
Fixed an issue that sometimes prevented a device from being unlocked using either Face Unlock or Fingerprint Unlock when the device had been idle for multiple hours.
Fixed an issue that sometimes caused fullscreen video playback to flicker after enabling always-on-display features and locking the screen.
If you want to download Android 13 QPR1 Beta 3 for your Google Pixel, be sure to check out the link below. To install the beta, you'll need to enroll in the company's beta program. Once you log in, will see all eligible devices for the program, which includes the Pixel devices mentioned above. If you choose to opt into the program with an eligible device, you will be asked to accept the terms and conditions. You will also have the option of receiving emails about the program and declaring yourself as a developer.
Once you're all set up, be sure to check out the official subreddit to share your thoughts or problems with regard to the latest updates. You should also take a look at on our guide on how to install Android 13 if you're unsure on the steps that you need to take..

yesssssss. it was great on my p6pro.. downloading now.

Thanks for sharing
Well done

Are these generally safe? I know that there is no EDL recovery type of thing for Tensor Pixels so is it common that they get permanently bricked by these updates or going back to the non-beta?

Up, rooted & running

They're safe. I ran them throughout Android 12. There is a window where you can go back to stable without having to wipe. That occurs when they release the stable build of each QPR, in this case the stable build of QPR1, which should be in December. Once that stable build is released you can unenroll in the beta program without having to wipe, as long as you do it before they release QPR2 Beta 1.

Thanks for the info. I will have to think about it. I normally like being bleeding edge but I also usually have a lot of bugs to complain about (so used to that with my OnePlus 9) and I don't have much to complain about here at all. Not sure I'm ready to tinker too much yet lol

I don't specifically recall anyone in my Pixel 6 Pro QPR Beta thread having any non-user caused (or any at all, really) hard bricks. I think these are at least as safe as the Betas for major Android versions, but I just don't have time to set my phone up from scratch if there's a major Beta bug.
I should add the link for opting into the Beta officially, too.

It's nice they released 2 betas this month. In their documentation it does say "up to 2 a month", but wasn't really expecting it. Hope they keep doing 2 a month.

Root installed fine.
Clear calling is now a toggle under the sound and vibration menu on the 7 pro. It is OFF by default.
Vo5G is enabled on T-Mobile for the 7 pro as well.

Scan QR Code

I have updated the Android Version: 13 and Android Security Update : May 5, 2023. Before that my Scan QR Code was working and after updating to android security update May 5, 2023 it won't scan any thing it shows blank while scanning the QR Code ?
