<p>Android 14 is replacing Android 13 this month. There will no longer be any
|
||||
monthly or quarterly releases of Android 13, only the monthly backports of
|
||||
Android Security Bulletin patches. This is an early October release based on
|
||||
the Android Security Bulletin backports. We'll need to port to Android 14 to
|
||||
provide the full 2023-10-05 patch level. We've spent months porting to Android
|
||||
14 in advance in order to make this migration as smooth and quick as possible.
|
||||
We weren't accepted as an Android partner so we don't have full early access
|
||||
to new major releases, but we've had partial early access to the sources and
|
||||
were able to do a lot of the porting in advance.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>There wasn't a proper Android Open Source Project or stock Pixel OS release
|
||||
for September since Android 14 was meant to be released. They only shipped a
|
||||
release marked as having the 2023-09-01 patch level, but most patches which
|
||||
were going to be included in 2023-09-05 were deferred to October and most of
|
||||
them ended up providing the published 2023-09-05 patch level. Devices with
|
||||
a Qualcomm SoC (Pixel 4a (5G), Pixel 5, Pixel 5a) or standalone Qualcomm Wi-Fi
|
||||
(Pixel 7a) still need firmware/driver patches for 2023-09-05. Other supported
|
||||
devices (Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 6a, Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro, Pixel Tablet,
|
||||
Pixel Fold) were already on the 2023-09-05 patch level and will now be on the
|
||||
2023-10-01 patch level. All of these devices will be quickly upgraded to the
|
||||
full Android 14 2023-10-05 patch level once it's released.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Pixel 4, Pixel 4 XL and Pixel 4a are end-of-life and shouldn't be used
|
||||
anymore due to lack of most security patches for firmware and drivers. We
|
||||
provide extended support for harm reduction with the displayed patch level
