This is an early August security update release based on the August 2024 security patch backports. This month's release of the Android Open Source Project and stock Pixel OS should be available later today or tomorrow and we'll quickly release an update based on it following this one.
Pixel 4a (5G) and Pixel 5 are end-of-life and shouldn't be used anymore due to lack of security patches for firmware and drivers. We provide extended support for harm reduction.
