Just a random question jumping in my mind.

1) Is it necessary to flash Official firmware then flash Pixel OS even coming from Pixel OS? what's its purpose?

2) Is it necessary to use PBRP recovery for flashing, like I don't root, install DM verity and stuff like that, just simple basic install and use, so can I continue with TWRP (already installed in my ginko)?

Thanks, in Advanced 😊
If you already flashed 12.5.2 fw, then theres no need to flash it again, is just recommended.

PBRP is recommended also, you can stay in TWRP without issues too, always if it supports A13 decryption for both cases.

Nowadays, you would definitely notice that every Android device has a Google search bar on its home screen and it is just so hard to ignore it. It actually eating up a lot of space from your Android device . How to remove google search from android home screen ?

You can't remove Google Search bar in Pixel Launcher, you should use another launcher for more customization.

We have some Redmi Note 8T testers and they said NFC works without issues.

And for recovery, we have linked up in the thread the one you should use: PBRP, but you can still use TWRP.

    PixelOS is an AOSP based ROM, with Google apps included and all Pixel goodies. We aim to provide an experience similar to Google Pixel phones with numerous performance enhancements and a small amount of useful additional features.

    Code:
    /* Your warranty is now void.
    *
    * I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
    * thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
    * do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
    * before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
    * you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
    */

    Device Specific Issues:
    • Slow charging on Chinese variants
    • 48MP doesn't work in MIUI Camera

    • You tell me.

    Encryption FAQ

    Encryption means converting your data into an unreadable (encrypted) format which prevents it from being read without first being decrypted, increasing security as those who don't know the key (in this case password or PIN) to decrypting the data won't be able to read the data, they'll just get jumbled characters.

    On the other hand, leaving the phone decrypted or forcing decryption will allow anyone access to that data without issue.

    Most ROMs are encrypted by default. When formatting data during the flashing process, this allows the data partition to be encrypted when the phone boots.

    In short:
    1. If you prefer your data being secure and aren't planning on changing ROMs frequently, leave the builds encrypted.
    2. If you plan on flashing different ROMs on a regular basis, decryption may be an easier option though less secure.

    Can I flash magisk on encrypted builds with PixelOS recovery?
    Yes, you can sideload it

    How to flash encrypted builds?
    - Reboot to fastboot mode
    - Flash PixelOS recovery fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
    - Sideload ROM using ADB
    - Go to Advanced and Format Data
