i absolutely hate the stock rom on the 5a. coming from HTC U11 to this phone the stock rom is riddled with bugs and seems to get worse each update.

I have not but all graphenos roms do not support google play services or google play store. Aurora Store replaces google play store. Most google play store apps are supported but no paid apps are.
yeah. i found this out the hard way after installing the rom. more or less pointless rom if you cant find the apk on appmirror to side load , or you paid for an apk

Hello,
I'm checking replacement for my Nexus 6 (hard to find). Close one is OnePlus 3T for sure.
One thing bothers me - can I trust this vendor, do you?
I've saw the arcticle w/ IMEI leaking, plus not sure how the OS build at all....
Another topic to ask - how vendors like OnePlus embed Google Services and apps, do they get them via official/approved channel or similar to gapps site?
Thanks for all the replies in advance!

1. I trust this vendor as much as is possible. If you don't trust them, buy the phone and flash a custom ROM that you build yourself so you can verify its security. Alternatively, flash something open source so the community verifies how trustworthy it is. I had a oneplus one and while I didn't stay with the stock rom, the hardware quality was impeccable for the cost. I have the OP3T now and for the first time in 8 years, I haven't flashed a custom rom or even rooted the phone because it works so damn well.
2. They probably get it via official channels but I don't know for sure.
I'm also coming from N6
This is a great upgrade in all ways apart from screen size and resolution although FHD is fine.
I've found myself using the capacitive buttons which are fine to get more screen real estate.
In answers to your questions.
1) you just have to trust
2) gapps are all eventually updated through play store so will be pure Google
The customisation options in pure stock N are great.

Is there a Pixel Experience ROM for the Note8 as there is for the S9?
Look for it in the proper section, roms and development, if it exists, you will find it there
no.. and never will
Why would you answer something if you had no idea what you are talking about? Yes, there is a Pixel room for the Note 8. It's over in the development section for the Note 8. https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/development/rom-taimen-1-0-t3690546/amp/
It is no exactly s pixel ROM, it is a stripped down samsung ROM, loaded with all the google apps, so, muntasir is right, You can achieve that by disabling the samsung features, via bk disabler pro or ADB commands, then loading all the google apps, in which case,, getting a pixel from the very beggining would have been a wiser choice

Right now you have pixel experience and lineage os 18. So nothing special, this phones availability (usa and japan) will hinder it's rom development. If we are lucky, maybe we will get up to 5 custom roms.

i have only found 4 custom roms for the phone. all AOSP roms just different variations
1. pixel experience (best. not as updated as lineageOS.)
1a. lineageOS (best. updated regularly)
2. Calxyos (big on security and removing google tracking. microg and other non tracking security apps installed. updated regularly)
3. GrapheneOS (not the best due to having to install microg and the rest of the mircog stuff to get playstore games and apps to work)
really its a toss up between experience and lineage. unless you want to go stealth. then it would be calxyos.
with aosp being the only choice base rom for the phone its extremely limited. unless a recognized developer gets his hand on one and ports over a different rom. your stuck with aosp variations

You don't buy google pixel for custom roms. There are other phones if you want custom roms and community support.

same here. i came from HTC, but ATT pushed my phone off their network with a load of crap how it didnt support 4g or LTE phone calls. when it actually did. they just wouldn't whitelist the phone so you could use that feature or wifi calling. so in a scramble to find a new phone i landed with this pixel. biggest POS i ever owned. i thought samsung was garbage until i got this one. its slower than my HTC U11. screen is smaller. it's sad when a 5 year older phone is better than something released in 2021. i have had nothing but problems with it since day 1. text messaging keyboard disappears. text messages disappear. text phones and link disappear. i have to open and close the app 3 or so times to get the message to pop up. maps is a train wreck. half the time i can't close the app or it goes into split screen mode and then you can't do anything. you have to reboot the phone to use it again. updating any of their apps the phone gets worse. every factory rom update is worse than the last one. they never update the base apps with each rom update so im stuck with the same broken crap android 11,12,12L all the same problems. now i know why HTC sold off their crap phones division to Google and kept the flagship phones under their wing, because they found a sucker to buy their garbage low end phone. so google could launch their rebranded HTC phones as garbage pixels.
team twrp would have to get their hands on one of these phones so they could make a proper device tree for it even then i noticed their is some key parts to the factory rom that seem to be missing or embedded into other parts of the images so porting a rom would not be an easy task. then to port a rom you would have to find another phone with similar specs as this one to make it even possible. so you are more or less stuck with Googles source codes for rom building. so then your are basically just building another AOSP rom variation.
all version i listed pull from the same source code when i go to manually build their roms. so really the are all the same rom with just their add-ons and removals of stuff with a few teaks here and there.
so for now our only hope is that on black friday they are selling this phone for $100 and some developers decide to pick one up and start some development on this phone outside AOSP builds.

Problem is that this phone is sold only in USA and Japan and I doubt that community regarding rom development is high in those countries. So only enthusiasts who import 5a from one of those two countries can maybe work on it.
Also, this phone is carbon copy of 4 5g (plus bigger battery and IP ratting) even though looking at how they were build they are not the same, but main components and sensors are. So maybe porting 4a 5g ROM will be better than to build from scratch.

I come from Samsung S10e.
A company like (SAMSUNG) that has spent more than 13 years in the field of screens and phones cannot be compared with a company (GOOGLE) that has spent only 4 or 5 years.
I chose this device only for its size, battery and water resistance, but I did not expect that the Android system in it is so bad and not optional

it is not so simple, you have to google it, learn to code and debug and it will take you some time even if you have existing ROM to copy things from.

it's more of a pain in the ass than it's worth. on my dual cpu 16 core system it takes 2 hrs just to build it. i usually just follow the steps on the pixel experience wiki page. if you want to mod it even more you would have to learn to program in c and c++. then with everything being open source borrow someone else's mod to include into your rom. then spend hours or even days troubleshooting, debugging or fixing code. if things are not compatible.
i wish i could get a stripped to nothing rom that only makes phone calls. that's it. the rest of the garbage you can download as an app or get a magisk module to do the rest.i don't need googles BLOATWARE garbage along with all of the garbage they cram down my phone's throat to slow it down to snail pace then go oh your phone is outdated that is why it's slow. so buy this other $1000 phone and that will fix your problem. i go yeah right. the thing is a year old. how in the hell is it out dated. my piece of sh*t 10 year old laptop works just fine. once i got off bloatware winblows 10 and install winblow 10 ltsc without the extra garbage no one ever uses.
[ROM][13][barbet] PixelExperience [AOSP][OFFICIAL]&[UNOFFICIAL]
PixelExperience for Pixel 5a Barbet What is this? PixelExperience is an AOSP based ROM, with Google apps included and all Pixel goodies (launcher, wallpapers, icons, fonts, boot animation) Our mission is to offer the maximum possible stability...
forum.xda-developers.com
I'm on protonAOSP, but its development stopped. I was wondering if other custom rom for pixel 5 have pixel exclusive feature like "Hold For Me" etc. In their description they say stuff like: "Pixel look and feel" but doesn't talk about specific feature and I would like to know before migrating.
Yes.
Thees all come stock with Pixel devices (newer Pixels get them first, then I believe they trickle down).]
But the ones NOT in Proton are due to proprietary reasons.
Hope this helps. :good:
Thank you!
Hello, my name is Luis, I hope everyone is quite well like me, I wanted to ask what is currently the best Pure Android ROM for the device "Xiaomi Redmi Note 9" that has the following features:
- Optimized, light and fluid.
- Good battery life
- NO overheating (except for games)
- Good performance in demanding games
There are many things I do not know yet, can you tell me important things to consider.
Thanks to for the attention, I look forward to a prompt reply.
Well, Project Elixir is probably the best one, even though it got discontinued in January and it's not stable, I use it as my daily driver as I don't want to use the MIUI rabbit hole. It's based on AOSP. In other words, it's just a modded Pixel Experience ROM. You won't definitely game on that phone lol. That MediaTek chipset has already issues on the stock MIUI. The install guide is easy if you will follow the instructions on the Telegram. Group name: ppui_merlin. The Google Pay/Wallet works straight without needing to install the safetynet-patch. The ROM comes with Google Play Services, since it's just Pixel Experience after all.
Okay, thanks for taking the time to write, I hope it will be very useful... I will follow the step by step... I've been trying for more than 3 months to install a custom recovery to the terminal but, I never end up succeeding. The device currently has the bootloader unlocked but it still doesn't work. I already did several times the process with XiaomiTools v2 and it does not work, I was going to do it through commands with CMD but, I had to install some drivers which were not allowed to install because apparently you have to remove other drivers that prevent the installation of the drivers I need, I use a generic cable and another original of the same brand Xiaomi but, this charger is from a Redmi Note 10... it should still work but unfortunately it never works with both cables.
I would like to know how I can completely remove the drivers that my device does not need and at the same time remove the XiaomiTools V2 program permanently both.... To start again with the method of installing the custom recovery by ADB commands with the CMD.
Do you have a more convenient place where I can communicate with you? It would be very useful. Again, thank you very much

The maintainer of the PPUI was the same one for Project Elixir. PPUI got abandoned 1 month before the PE. I can't say whether there's a huge difference between them as the Founder of PE is also a Co-founder of the PPUI. The sites also share a similar design, meaning they're really close to each other. Forgot to mention that PE got abandoned around 2/3 months ago. December was the last month when there was a release of 3.4.

I would probably say that LineageOS is the baren bones one. You would need to install GApps. But it's still in development and there are only nightly (every week) releases for now. So far, I'm surprised that someone is still interested in this junk MediaTek chipset and still trying to make it at least somehow good for use.
hahaha, it's because I still don't have the money to buy another mobile but well, the case, do you know about any port for the redmi note 9? that is a13 or a14

LineageOS is like pure android, extremely light and gets updated often, although I can only find the download link for a NIGHTLY build, meaning it gets updated really often meaning that it can have bugs, I cant find a stable build for some reason anywhere, probably not out yet for LOS 20, and you cant download older versions on the los site sadly
