In order to provide better support for blind users, we maintain a fork of the open source TalkBack app fixing serious issues with it, modernizing it and making the builds reproducible. One of the goals of making our own Setup Wizard has also been integrating TalkBack support.

A growing number of apps are using the Play Integrity API to enforce installation from the Play Store. This is clearly highly illegal anti-competitive behavior. It doesn't impact GrapheneOS users installing apps with the sandboxed Play Store but does impact other install sources.

We still need help getting early access to Android 16 sources prior to the stable release in June. Every mainstream Android OEM has it. We're currently spending significant time on reverse engineering Android 16 Beta releases. It's a huge waste compared to having what we need.

We need an Android OEM or someone working at one to provide us with early access to the Android 16 sources in order to have a smooth port this year. We need this before June. We requested it to help with this very difficult situation (see the linked thread) and still need it.

Users are continuing to report the fwupd software often used by Linux distributions for updating firmware is incorrectly connecting to arbitrary USB devices implementing the fastboot protocol. The developers have been hostile towards people simply reporting or talking about it.
