Is August update available for regular PE as well?

No, this is still on July. I'm working on August, I will probably have that uploaded later today or tomorrow. The repository on GitHub is updated very late for the most part so I will most likely have to pull files from stock and update manually.

One quick question, do I need to have unlocked bootloader? There is no mention of it in installation instructions.

I will add that in description. I guess I shouldn't assume with the newbies. Yes, you can never modify the stock firmware unless you unlock the bootloader first.

I saw that for other roms it is in requirements, and generally for every ROM flashing. And I was like if you invented some magic that would be nice

Unfortunately not but I do hide the unlocked bootloader with this, so it still acts as a unmodified device. Banking apps and Google pay works without root. The only thing I noticed that doesn't work is sports gambling apps if anyone even cares.

TheSayaMan, will you still be updating this ROM?

TheSayaMan, will you still be updating this ROM?

I haven't been updating it because it appears to have little interest.

Hello @TheSayaMan, could you please try build elixir ROM for our pixel, it has a lot of customizations and base of pixel ROM?

I will give it a try. Looks like there is a repository on GitHub for it so if there is no issues then it won't take long. If I have to pull files from stock then it will be much longer to build. I'll keep you posted.

Hello @TheSayaMan, how are you? Any updates regarding elixir?

Does the phone get warm on this firmware when using the camera?

It's a pixel known problem for this to happen even with stock firmware.

 

[Kroppos]

Thank you, I know, I thought maybe on another firmware the phone is less heated. Is there really no way to fix the kernel ?

I heard the barbet custom kernel here on xda will fix it but I haven't tried it and two months ago I sold the phone and moved on to a OnePlus device. The whole overheating thing was annoying me and couldn't deal with it. My wife upgraded to the Pixel 6 Pro, same issues. Done with Pixels.

Hello @TheSayaMan , so will build Elixir for 5a or not?

 

[TheSayaMan]

Hello @TheSayaMan , so will build Elixir for 5a or not?

I am working a lot and it needs work. There is no device specific code for this phone on GitHub so I had to pull files from stock firmware. It will be a challenge since I don't have the phone anymore so I'm not confident I can do it but I'm trying. I've ran into problems and trying something else.
