Greetings, PixelOS community!​

As 2023 draws to an end, we are excited to unveil – PixelOS 14 stable, based on QPR1. The December patch has been merged, available at https://github.com/PixelOS-Fourteen/.

We almost have feature parity with our Android 13 builds, with the rest of the missing features coming in future builds.

Important Update:​

Recently Google has been taking a proactive approach to blocking fingerprints used to pass Play Protect checks. After trying to work around this, we've decided on a more user friendly approach of having the props in an overlay. This means it can be updated more seamlessly without the need to wait for updates every time a fingerprint is blocked.

Feature Additions:​

    - Ability to disable QS battery estimates
    - Ability to hide power menu on lock screen
    - Ability to secure tiles from lock screen
    - Added package name to installed app details
    - Double tap to trigger doze
    - Face Unlock from Paranoid Android
    - High touch polling rate*
    - Lineage Health Service*
    - LiveDisplay Feature
    - One shot AutoBrightness

    * Feature availability is contingent on maintainer opt-in and device compatibility

The new clock faces from QPR1 have also been added​

Stay tuned for further updates and device-specific changelogs as the update rolls out for supported devices.

We are pleased to announce official support for four additional devices.​

    1. realme 6/6i/6s/Narzo (RMX2001L1)
    2. realme 7/Narzo 20 Pro/Narzo 30 4G (salaa)
    3. Poco F5/Redmi Note 12 Turbo (marble)
    4. Redmi 12 5G/Poco M6 pro (sky)
