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

Hello everyone, a lot has happened since our last update, especially with Play Integrity. Builds are now required to be signed, and we have implemented this change. While you won't be able to update via OTA, you should be able to update (dirty flash) over the previous May build via sideload. We bring this quick update towards the end of May as we understand Play Integrity is extremely important to you all. This will be our last update based on Android 14 QPR2 as QPR3 is around the corner.

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)
