TWRP for Pixel 4a 5G? - Google Pixel 4a 5G Questions & Answers

Not asking for an ETA but just wondering IF there will be TWRP for this device. Seems to me that by now most other new devices have it. Did I miss something that makes it difficult to write for the Pixel 4a 5G? Thanks.

How much?
The phone is out now month but no custom rom or full working twrp (china twrp is the best working). I think whene you need custom rom go to Oneplus. Good dev support. Xiaomi have no dev support. There is also gsi rom but gsi is not good and i dont like this roms.

I used Oneplus 6T , but Oneplus 7 Pro is overpriced. I usually switch phones between 500~600$ every 6month. So I think Oneplus 7 Pro is a no go for me,
Apparently qualcomm only just released the source code for SD 855, on CAF. Without the source code, no real development, unless it's GSI or xiaomi firmware based.... If oneplus had released a phone months ago with the SD 855, it probably wouldn't have been much different, apart from oneplus stock firmware being much better to begin with
I still remember when I got my oneplus 6 it took a good while for the first aosp rom came out, before that modded oxygen OS only and mods etc, so I think we need to be patient, cheers

Oneplus 7 vanilla is cheaper but I doubt that will sell way less than mi9. Devs wont be making custom roms there. Whoever used 6T including me wont be getting op7 its the phone with bttr chip.

I HOPE SO. Really need Pixel ROM here. 855 will shine. MIUI is fast no doubt. But pixel rom or LineageOS will be a great ROM

+1 :good:
Give it time and you'll see custom roms. For now, you can use GSI or MIUI. GSI is pretty good with working Fingerprint even. Personally using AOSiP GSI and it's good for what I do.
Randomblame is working on something let's see and wait for it.
Yes just bought Mi9. Looking for pixel rom too
Sorry for stupid question, I'm just move from WindowsPhone, but can somebody explain why Pixel rom? In a few months will be here Android Q, so if I flash beta Q now, will be the differences between Pixel and Mi9 after final Q version?
Thanks

I'll try to make it simple.
Android system has many versions, these are incremental. From Android 1 to Android 9, and Android 10 in beta right now.
Each Android version has a name :
Android 6 = Android Marshmallow = Android M
Android 7 = Android Nougat = Android N
Android 8 = Android Oreo = Android O
Android 9 = Android Pie = Android P
Android 10 = Android Q???? = Android Q
These are the original systems made by Google.
It's like Windows 95, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 10.
Now the beauty of Android is that anyone can customise the base/original system to whatever he wants. That is what big companies like Samsung is doing, or Xiaomi (MIUI) or OnePlus(OxygenOS) etc!
And there are smaller developer teams that build their own to the community, one of them is Pixel ROM.
Pixel ROM is available for Android O, Android P, etc depending on the phone model and what the team wants to build. Of course there are other custom ROM, many great and Pixel ROM is one of them.
Differences between Android Q and Android P? There will be, but Q is still in beta.
When Android Q will be out, I'm pretty sure there will be Pixel ROM Android Q. Right now it's Pixel ROM Android P.
However, Pixel ROM is not available for Mi 9 yet! That's why people ask for it. It's not easy though, you need developers, they need to own the phone, and Xiaomi needs to share the source !
Ok, thank you, it's clear now. My misunderstanding was that I thought, that Pixel is name of phone and not a name for custom ROM.

Actually you are not that wrong. The Google Pixel phones have a ROM called "Pixel ROM". And the goal of "custom Pixel ROM" is to be like "Google Pixel ROM" + bonus!

Lineage OS on S20 FE Snapdragon (4G)

Hey,
I installed twrp bootloader on my device and i would like to know if it is possible for me to install and use lineage os on my device? I saw that there is an unofficial custom lineage os rom for the Exynos Version. Since i'm having the Snapdragon Version i'm searching for a lineage os rom that is supporting my device. Does anybody know where to find one?
there isn't one currently but one is being worked on for the 5G version. I wouldn't expect it anytime soon, maybe a good few more months. but once that is complete it should be relatively straight forward to port it to the 4G snapdragon version.
Hi there!
Does anyone know if it is currently possible to install LineageOS+MicroG on a Samsung Galaxy S20FE Exynos with OneUI 4.1 and Android 12 (SM-G780F/DS)?
Or is there another OS that would allow me to have a degoogled and privacy-friendly smartphone?
Thank you all for your help!

you can run a GSI like that or there's also a version of Lineage posted in the roms and recoveries section already for F model FEs. I doubt that comes with gapps so using MicroG should be straight forward.

Realme ui is simple but it is not optimized for mid range mobiles like realme 8 there you might face issues like ram management, heating issues n all so for that specs of mobiles custom Rom are much lighter

Android 12L/12 Beta

Anyone still running a beta/12L build of Android on their 4a 5g bramble?
If so, can anyone check out their 'generic_band_restrictions.xml' off their EFS partiton? What I want to know is if the 12L/Beta builds change those file(s) to allow n77 band access. Maybe if you have beta build from Feb-Early March 2022. Later betas might have gotten rid of it during the whole FCC/FAA BS. months back.
You can view/extract/write EFS via QPST. Look for anything that says ''excluded'. What I'm thinking/hoping is that, while that info seems pretty blank on A11-A12-A13 builds (official), there was a period of time just before Google decided to F over Pixel 5/4a5g owners on c-band (class action anyone?) , that there was a period of "it might happen", and I think during beta 12 builds they may have provisioned EFS to provide c-band framework to allow it. I saw a post somethere on a Pixel 5 which is its brother. So it would be nice to see the EFS on those beta builds for 4a5g and see if possible to enable/de-exclude the n77 band. I could be smoking crack.
The "logic" of my madness is based from these posts:

Pixel 5/5a and Verizon 5G c-band eventuality
I just noticed this on Google's website (Google support website link). The Pixel 5 has band N77 in the snapdragon 765G, so I believe Verizon c-band will eventually be on this phone.

So if his is true. 1) Either we can 'clone' a n77 config from a Pixel 5. Or 2) if they also released a Beta firmware build for the 4a5g in which the EFS provisioning is there but just needs to be enabled, if not already so.
