Hello there, the July patches (based on android-14.0.0_r54) were merged a few weeks ago however we took some time after that just to fix a few issues that were on the previous releases and add a few features.

Unfortunately, we were not able to get Circle to Search to work just yet.

A note for unofficial PixelOS builders​

We've pushed the CertifiedPropsOverlay template to PixelOS-AOSP/vendor_extra. You can clone it to vendor/extra and update the values as needed.

Regarding signing, we've integrated the inline signing implementation from YAAP (thanks to Ido and John), so your builds will be signed automatically. You just need to generate the private keys and place them in vendor/aosp/signing/keys/ using the following command:

subject='/C=US/ST=State/L=City/O=Android/OU=Android/CN=Android/emailAddress=email@example.com'
for x in releasekey platform shared media networkstack nfc verity otakey testkey sdk_sandbox bluetooth; do \
    ./development/tools/make_key vendor/aosp/signing/keys/$x "$subject"; \
done

where:

C: Country code (e.g., US) ST: State name L: City name O: Organization name OU: Organizational Unit name CN: Common name emailAddress: Your email address
