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.

PixelOS 14

Features and bugfixes!​

  • Fixed RCS Messaging
  • Fixed cinematic wallpapers
  • Fixed issues with Magic Eraser in Google Photos
  • Fixed an issue where crash logs wouldn't upload
  • Fixed an issue where face unlock would stop working
  • Fixed an issue where high refresh rate wouldn't work on battery saver
  • Fixed issues with annoying notifications
  • Added a quick setting tile for Autobrightness
  • Added an option to hide developer options status from other apps
  • Added per-app volume control
  • Added back the option for cloning apps
  • Added an option for setting different ringtones for both sims
  • Added configurable 0, 90, 180 and 270 degree rotation
  • Implemented a check for builds which are not updatable

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.
