Changes since the 2025022800 release:

  • Network Location: improve integration of altitude into trilateration to properly account for not all networks providing it including avoiding an edge case null pointer exception
  • Network Location: add default enabled data saver exemption
  • Network Location: use hideFromAppOps as documented by the Android API documentation for a network location service and to match how other the other OS location services and the Play services location service in the stock OS work in practice (this likely avoids the need for the exemption from the GrapheneOS location indicator but we're keeping that for now to avoid wasting development time determining it)

Thanks! I find this unified/separated release announcements a bit...confusing. Usually any other software they'd say which release branch the updates go to.

I guess it's my main qualm with GrapheneOS, it's a mess to figure what your update is going to actually do. It just tells you it got updated with no previous warnings and no info about what it just did, and just ask you to reboot. You might find some logs about the latest releases in the info app, but again, just take a guess about whatever just went into your phone right now. And not separating the updates by branch channel seems...messier.

Coming from Samsung from back in the day, you'd get a notification when there's an OS update, and it tells you what it's going to update...and you can click to update now or just ignore it if's not the right time or you have concerns.
