#android12 — Public Fediverse posts

Mein #Android12 Gerät bekommt ja schon länger keine Updates mehr. Trotzdem tauchen immer wieder Zugriffe auf neue #googleapis auf. Die kommen demnach entweder mit der #PlayStore-App, die eh vollkommen heimlich im Hintergrund agiert, oder Updates der #Gmail-App schleusen sie ein. Eben neu entdeckt z.B. "appsgrowthpromo-pa" und "taskassist-pa", die aber gleich von der #Firewall geblockt wurden.

"playstoregatewayadapter-pa" und "deviceintegritytokens-pa" auch gerade neu entdeckt, die ich der Firewall jedoch erst beibringen muss.

Ehrlich, diese hemmungslose Überwachung ist nicht nur einfach respektlos, sondern absolut niederträchtig, widerwärtig und menschenverachtend. #Google

Google Play System Update (October 2025) rolls out for Samsung devices

Google Play System Update was a feature that was introduced for devices that ship with Android 10 or newer. It’s mandatory for device manufacturers that plan to release their devices with Android 10 to support Google Play System Updates. As a result, non-Google devices, such as Samsung Galaxy phones and tablets released with Android 10 (One UI 2.1), can receive such updates, too.

These updates don’t require security updates from the manufacturer to work, as Project Mainline modules work independently to give you better experience with Android phones and tablets.

On October 28th, a new Google Play System Update has been pushed to Samsung devices. This update upgrades your Project Mainline modules to the October 1st, 2025 version. This update weighs around 49 MB.

To be able to get this version, follow these steps:

1. Go to your device’s settings
2. Open the security settings
3. Find “Google Play System Update” and tap on it
4. If everything goes OK, you should see the below update dialog:

Click on Download and Install, wait for it to download, then reboot your device by clicking on the blue Restart button. The next time your device boots up, the revised update gets installed, so it’s going to take about 3 minutes maximum to install all the updates.

There is no progress bar, so don’t panic if it looks stuck. Your device will eventually boot up. Now, open your settings app and check your Google Play System Update. If everything is well, you should see October 1st, 2025 below the appropriate button.

In case your device didn’t receive the update, wait for a few days, and it will be available shortly.

Stay tuned for the November patch of 2025!

Aus für #Android12 und 12L: #Google :google: beendet Support für Millionen Geräte | heise online https://www.heise.de/news/Aus-fuer-Android-12-und-12L-Google-beendet-Support-fuer-Millionen-Geraete-10352204.html #Android :android: #Android12L #EndOfLife #EoL

The latest #Android #AOSP security patch marks the end of public Android #12 and #12L security patch support.

There are a number of #Automotive #Infotainment systems based on #Android12 or #Android12L, so it'll be interesting to see whether companies provide updates to #Android13 (or, more likely, #Android14), or whether we see head-units left vulnerable to issues discovered in the coming months and years.

I should _probably_ get back to #GammaGroup #FinFisher #FinSpy #Finsky posting modules for #Android13.

Modules on #Android10, #Android11 & #Android12 are already pretty much done and posted already.

Probably.

Look, I know ... Lately I haven't been doing much on the whole #StateSponsoredMalware™ postings covering #GammaGroup's #FinFisher #FinSpy #Finsky ..... But who actually _WANTS_ to read about this ???? 😆

But I have seriously gone through #Android10, #Android11 , & #Android12 with these modules over the last few years.

This year I hope to complete #Android13 and then #Android14 with #GammaGroup because ... science.

The old #Android12 #Dialer stopped functioning after the #ForcedMDM config was pushed down that when a PTSN or Cell Phone call came in the Dialer app would not show a accept/declined dialogue but would ring the phone. The only option would be to load a new dialer and 'upgrade' the compromised dialer from #Google.

Explaining #Android12 #AAOS is a mess.

Android 12 was launched with #Android API Level 31, and QPR1 stayed on API Level 31 (https://android.googlesource.com/platform/build/+/refs/heads/android12-qpr1-release/core/version_defaults.mk#154). QPR3, however, is API Level 32 (https://android.googlesource.com/platform/build/+/refs/heads/android12-qpr3-release/core/version_defaults.mk#154), and 32 includes a rewrite of the HVAC system (https://android.googlesource.com/platform/packages/apps/Car/SystemUI/+/29d430217fc6b286ce748cc0d1e8cb9bac17a025). The recent android-security-12.* tags are also all API Level 31 (https://android.googlesource.com/platform/build/+/refs/tags/android-security-12.0.0_r52/core/version_defaults.mk#154).

TLDR; A SoC/SoM vendor saying they ship "Android 12" still leaves a chunk of uncertainty about what folk will actually get :(.

It seems it's impossible to initially connect from a #Chromecast device on #Android12 to a new #WiFi #WLAN using its REAL #MACaddress #EthernetAddress... 😠

The initial setup always seems to be with random MAC address (for privacy reasons)... Only once you successfully connected to the new WiFi at least once, you can modify the connection to use the device's "real" MAC address...

Seems to be a design limitation?!

For security reasons I have a separate IoT LAN, and per-MAC/device #WPA keys.
