Have decided to get a new 4a, will pick up and flash GOS tomorrow.

Platform-tools has been downloaded and extracted on a Windows 10 machine, path is set and get correct output from fastboot --version in Powershell.

Prior to unlocking the bootloader, (fastboot flashing unlock) is there a command I can run to verify proper connection to the phone?

I was able to see the login page for public WiFi at one place. I did not login however as I did not know the credentials. Are we also trying to test if I can connect?

Hello everyone , i have finally flashed grapheneos on my pixel 4a!

Thank you Daniel Micay and fellow members of the community.

:)

Have a good day / night !

Attempyed also to download factory image in Powershell:

curl -O releases.grapheneos.org/sunfish-factory-2020.11.27.15.zip

Unauccessful.

brenneke[m]: let me the command you used, exactly as you typed it?

Since to powershell, "curl" and "curl.exe" produce different results for me; "curl.exe" works.

TheJollyRoger: why are you overcomplicating though

You very well know you can take a browser to the releases page on windows

Sorry. You take this one then.

brenneke: pm me

While it is correct

You messed up the formatting now it is unreadable

Wish i could get COS or at least Calyx in a tablet. The only available option is lineage when it comes to tablets ::

anupritaisno1: how about now?

<Peacockdude[m] "Wish i could get COS or at least"> Sadly Android tablets are nowhere secure in hardware and software

madd_hatter: an important aspect of it is that it will be a regular app (untrusted_app), not a privileged app (priv_app, platform_app, etc.) with whitelisted privileged permissions

and we won't be making it a trusted provider for various base OS features

it will be a separate, optional thing without special integration beyond appearing to other apps to be Play services

and we'll also be doing some hardening

anupritaisno1: I don't actually know how to pm in Element!

click on the persons picture

anyone's gcam having this issue?

hmm video is not sending

so basically, tapping the gallery button doesn't launch anything

it just show the animation and then go back to the camera

everything else works tho

ver 7.5 with gcam services provider

refined.anarchy: please ask in ot

ot?

What matters is the support for alternative OS and avb keyring

Hey, I'm maybe gonna buy a Pixel phone to make my life and data mor secure and private... I'm already using LineageOS without GAPPS on a PocoF1, but I understand that GrapheneOS on a Google Pixel Phone is the most secure option there (for the locked boot loader).Is that reaaly true? Aren't there any most secure option? Is GrapheneOS also compatible

with Pixel 4a 5G?Thanks for helping me

<xhdffgzsxkiy "with Pixel 4a 5G?Thanks for help"> Nope.

Not supported yet

Just 4a (sunfish)

Has to be sunfish, and non verizon model.

(One can see the device name when rebooting to bootloader)

<Lia[m] "What matters is the support for "> Thanks!🙂 I really hope they keep providing low-level access and have no backdoors that can be exploited.

Linux kernel bugs can be backdoors too /s

Kidding aside, there are insider attack resistance and security chip that prevents firmware tampering or update until.the phone is unlocked, which is one of the many ways one can verify the OS installed

Also, you'd have verified boot and attestation to assure the authenticity and integrity of the OS

That's good to know. I really hope now that Daniel doesn't have to deal with the lawsuit stuff. This project is so valuable.

<sentientai[m] "That's good to know. I really ho"> It's why people get too salty, selfish and wanted to destroy it

Not sure, why some people don't like nice things, depend on it but proceeded to cause harm

Yeah. As long as GrapheneOS is better than Copperhead OS (which it always will be), it's going to be a target. That's why I hope they get a final ruling and put this all behind them. Online attacks will keep going on but won't work anymore.

grapheneos ayy, irc is difficult to grasp in the deep end

<mangojuice "grapheneos ayy, irc is difficult"> Unfortunately.

Branched replies tend to be long message and does not render well in IRC

Also exposes our usernames

just for reference do you have any places other than complicated documents to understand more

only asking in this chat as graphene users are trustworthy

<mangojuice "just for reference do you have a"> Wdym?

what document?

honestly looking for a mentor i guess

<mangojuice "only asking in this chat as grap"> Not all of them, and don't just trust us. Verify the info given, and make sure it is in accordance to fact, and not just alternative facts (or just opinions)

<mangojuice "honestly looking for a mentor i "> Mentor for?

ive lost my touch with technlogy

Ohh, not sure where to start with that. And not everyone can assure they can give correct info 100%, even under the assumption they are mentoring in good faith and genuinity...

I honestly just recommend reading, learning and researching at your own pace, but there are some people you might want to avoid, like Rob Braxman, Techlore, etc

In getting information

Sometimes other people intentionally cherrypick info that is favorable to narrative, and discussing this is getting a little too off-topic.

<mangojuice "ive lost my touch with technlogy"> I'd advise just asking here for now, or the off-topic chat

ofc nothing will be 100% correct but maybe im looking in the wrong place for info i need

<mangojuice "ofc nothing will be 100% correct"> It's alright, just feel free to ask here

<hollla[m] "Screenshot_20201130-091851.png"> Maybe you have already updated since reboot? Try checking about phone and then build number

No, the update was downloaded immediate after stopping vpn

Okay

hollla: sounds like your VPN is blocking the connections

Is there an URL so i can test it via Browser?

hollla Are you using Nord by any chance?

anyone else having problems with 4a randomly waking up the screen with 0 input?

<ghosty1 "anyone else having problems with"> Nope

ghosty1: it's supposed to detect being lifted up

i have it sitting on the desk when it happen, it will randomly flash and remain open

it happens quite often as well and like i said its not a gentle wake it flashes open instantly

that's always how it wakes up and turns on the screen

you're probably shaking the desk

if you don't want life to wake enabled you can turn it off in gestures

* if you don't want lift to wake enabled you can turn it off in gestures

I thought about the desk shaking thing and put it on a solid surface and it still happened I will keep an eye on it, ill disable lift to wake and see what happens

this is covered in the documentation on the site, read that first please

wrong channel

<strcat[m] "wrong channel"> Interesting

interesting?

<Golli[m] "hollla Are you using Nord by any"> no Proton

Hi, i have problem using bank apps from my country. Anyone can help?

Some bank apps rely on Google to work, so they aren't compatible with privacy and freedom respecting operating systems.

I am not familiar with that app

If you're stuck with a bad bank like that, I recommended banking on an iOS device if you can, and using GOS for communication

What does the app say when you try to use it on GrapheneOS?

<cyborgninjaneer[ "What does the app say when you t"> Some function it's not function

mistazaki[m]: You basically have to have a second phone for apps like that

<jpds "mistazaki: You basically have to"> Okay. I will
