We'll be making at least one more Android 15 QPR2 release soon to ship backports of important firmware and driver security patches released with Android 16. This wouldn't usually be required since we'd have Android 16 released to end users using the Alpha channel and soon Beta.

We've ported all of our features to Android 16. However, part of our hardware-based USB-C and pogo pins port control feature may need to be reimplemented due to being part of device support code. We have a lot of work remaining reimplementing device support removed by AOSP 16.

We have early builds based on Android 16 booting on Pixels but will need to do a lot more work to reach production quality.

We're also beginning building/testing backports of Android 16 firmware updates to Android 15 QPR2 with the aim of releasing those patches to Alpha today.

It's hard for me to understand what is really going on here. Just a few days ago, it sounded like graphene had significant troubles with porting to Android 16, and now they have finished porting almost everything?

They are having trouble getting a GOS version of Android 16 going. In this case, they're talking aboit backporting updates. Taking updates for A16 and porting them over to A15.
