Project Pixel 1.0


What is Project Pixel?

Project Pixel is a small team of developers that work on porting most, if not all of the Google Pixel features to stock firmwares.
We mostly specialize in Stock Samsung Firmwares, although we may do work on ports of OneUi once in a while. Our objective is to deliver the best performance by using stock firmware whilst also improving upon it by debloating and tweaking whilst also giving you all the features of a Pixel device.



Pixel Pie 1.0 Feature List:

1. AdAway

2. Deep Debloat and DeKnoxed (Apps, permissions, framework, unnecessary features-stripped and removed)

3. Dolby Atmos with Correct Tuning and Gain (Main Speaker has most power and Earpiece just adds detail and treble)

4. Eleven Music (Lineage OS 15.1)

5. Files GO (File Manager)

6. GCam (Note: GCam might not work on all devices, because of hardware compatibility) 8.3 (HDR+)

7. Google Calculator

8. Google Calendar

9. Google Chrome

10. Google Clock

11. Google Contacts

12. Google Keep (With Handwriting Libs)

13. Google Lens (Works within Google Photos and Recents in Pixel Launcher)

14. Google Messages

15. GPay (Working Payment Method along with NFC functionality)

16. Google Phone

17. Google Pie Emojis (Not Samsung Ones)

18. Google Play Games

19. Google Tasks

20. GBoard

21. Mtweaks (Has Hardware Control - Similar to Kernel Adiutor but more tailored to Exynos)

22. Pixel Fonts

23. Pixel 3 Boot Animation

24. Pixel 3 Live Wallpapers with Normal Wallpapers

25. Pixel Google Photos (Free Original Quality Storage)

26. Pixel Module V1 - Pixel Animations, framework and configs.

27. Pixel Launcher with new recent menu

28. Pixel Sounds

29. Samsung Digital Wellbeing

30. Samsung App Lock

31. Samsung Gallery (Stripped Down and lightened to improve performance)

32. Samsung's Stock Camera with HDR parameter changes, debloated and additional video modes (4k30 at HDR- Not Fully Tested)

33. SystemUI Tuner (Provides battery stats along with other useful customiztions - Check QS icons and add it to QS Panel to view)

34. VoLTE Supported

35. YouTube Vanced (Ad-free Youtube)

CHANGELOG 1.0:
1. Initial Release

Bugs:
1. Smart Capture Screen Write with SPen causes a FC

Notes:
1. To view Battery Stats and Storage, pull down the Quick Settings Panel and on the top right click the three bubbles button and then Button Order. Then move the new Battery and Storage icon to the Quick Settings.
2. Make sure you set Google Phone as your default phone app. Go-to Settings/Apps. Click the three dots in the top right corner. Then click default apps. Then Calling App and select Phone.
3. After first boot, reboot your device once to ensure dalvik optimization.


INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Download the zip and download the latest Magisk (ROM will not boot if Magisk is not flashed due to encryption procedures)
2. Wipe System, Data, Dalvik Cache and Cache
3. Flash the zip and flash Magisk.

This ROM is awesome. It is pretty stable too. The boot logo is not very appealing. I will keep using it. No bug so far.
I have found one issue, with the phone app. When I try to call someone it doesn't show the call being forwarded,so you can't end the call. And When I am called I can't pick up since there is no prompt for accepting or rejecting call. A problem with the Google dialer maybe.

Hi Dev.

I wiped my data and installed your rom. Everything was perfect. But the galaxy wearable app was force closing.
Could you please help me to solve this problem.

Best regards

Wait what XD. Never experienced this bug. Maybe a charging cable issue? Also, there are two cameras included. GCam isn't as stable as stock by a long shot, so use stock if GCam crashes too much.
Also abt Gear Wearable. Since I extensively debloated this ROM, it is possible I removed something that I shouldn't have. Not to worry, I will release an update next month (Not now because of exams)

Fast, smooth and stable rom. But it has really bad battery usage. The older one(teampixel oreo) vas great at battery usage.

Also i can't find the "Power saving mode". There is no toggle in notification bar and i cant find a way to enable it in settings menu. Anyyone know is it possible to use Power saving mode on this rom?

Hello! The reason battery life was significantly better on Oreo was due to Oreo having a fully working Phantom Kernel! At this point, I'm just waiting for an update to that kernel, so that I can incorporate it, into the ROM, along with adapt sound, Dual Messenger, Gear 360 bug fix and Screen Write (Samsung Capture) since that it the only "useful" Note Feature that can't just be simply added back. I'll also be incorporating a few tweaks here and there to improve performance where possible! Keep an eye out for V1.1

    Hey everyone! V1.2.1 uploaded with some critical fixes and updated kernel. Also made some more minor tweaks to improve performance. You should be able to dirty flash, though, as always clean flash is recommended. As always, enjoy the update and an ETA for security patch update, will probably be in May, as I rebase every 3 months.
