Hey guys,
I just bought a brand new Pixel XL 128gb yesterday. Yay! Quite happy with the purchase, since I got it for 270e brand new in box and it's replacing my Moto Z Play, which is also a 2016 phone, but a mid-range one, so the performance boost is quite noticeable.
Moreover, the camera performance on the Pixel vs that Moto is absolutely insane. Especially since my Moto is on Lineage, which makes the camera noticeably worse than stock.
My question is: How is the Pixel XL camera performance on Lineage or other custom ROMs?[ Does the Google Cam app work (can I even install it straight from the Play Store, does it still recognize it as compatible)? I've been trying to google the answer to this for an hour at least, but to no avail. So I'm really not sure if it all just works 100% fine or it's a downgrade as it usually is because of proprietary blobs and what not.
I like the phone very much, but I hate how the Google ROM is not letting me disable and delete things and overall I'm just very used to everything on Lineage and I prefer using the light weight apps from there, instead of apps that have been googleified for no reason (I want the stock AOSP Gallery, Messaging, etc). I've already replaced the launcher since I couldn't even remove the two default widgets (ffs!) but that's not really the same.
TL;DR - I want to switch to a custom ROM (prefferably Lineage) and keep the amazing camera performance on my og XL, is that possible?
