February 2026 Release

This month’s update rebases PixelOS to the latest Android 16 QPR2 release (android-16.0.0_0_r4), bringing in all upstream improvements, security patches, and the platform changes included in QPR2.

Banner

Designer was busy, so we outsourced the banner.

Platform changes

All existing features remain unchanged.

This update includes:

  • Latest platform changes from QPR2
  • Updated security patches
  • General stability improvements

We’ve made the necessary adjustments to ensure everything runs properly on the new base.

Detailed changelogs are available at: https://blog.pixelos.net/changelogs

We now have our own CDN

PixelOS now uses our own CDN powered by Cloudflare.

What this means for you:

  • Faster download speeds
  • Better performance in all regions
  • More reliable releases
  • Less downtime during peak traffic

Downloads should now be consistent and quick, without depending on multiple mirrors.

Older builds will continue to be archived on SourceForge for long-term access.

Stream OTA for all vAB devices

We’ve enabled Stream OTA on all vA/B devices.

Updates now start installing while the package is still downloading, which reduces the overall time required to complete an OTA update.

If you're interested in how it works internally, you can read the official documentation here.

Website redesign

Yes, we redesigned the website.

Cleaner layout, Better experience.
