PixelNougat V1.0 - By Team Pixel

Hey Everyone! Pixel Nougat is a custom firmware that ports most of the features from a Pixel Device to a Samsung Firmware. This build has been based on the Pixel XL. It has been very deeply debloated and optimized for performance, whilst also bringing in many Pixel Features to our devices. Here is a feature list:
Features:
1. AdAway
2. Google Calculator
3. Google Calendar
4. GCam (Pixel 1's Camera Apk, with some features removed due to 32bit limitations)
5. Samsung Stock Camera with debloat and HDR Video Parameters enabled
6. Google Chrome
7. Google Clock
8. Google Contacts (with framework port)
9. Google Files GO (File Manager)
10. Google Photos (Warning: Set upload quality to high quality, since it will attempt to upload in original quality because it thinks it is a Pixel)
11. Google Keep (With Handwriting Libs)
12. Magisk 19.0 Prebuilt (With Magisk Manager 7.1.1)
13. Google Messages
14. Mtweaks 14.0 (Kernel Controlroller which has GPU Control as Well)
15. Eleven Music (Lineage OS 14.1)
16. Google Phone (Ported Framework for full functionality)
17. Google Play Games (This device can still play most Triple A titles such as Asphalt 9 and so deserves credit)
18. Settings Heavily Debloated, with most useless features removed
19. SystemUI Tuner (Updated)
20. Google Tasks
21. YouTube Vanced
22. Pixel Boot Animation (Pixel 1XL)
23. Google Sounds, animations, framework and configs.
24. Modded Pixel 2 Launcher
25. SoundAlive With Triple Speaker Setup (All Values have been limited for Speaker Safety)
26. GBoard and New Pie/Oreo Emojis (Not Samsung Ones)
27. Incredibly Deep Debloat and DeKnoxed
28. Pixel 2 Live Wallpapers With Normal Google Wallpapers Included.

Installed it (as I kept having camera and hotspot problems on LineageOS) a few hours ago. It's great and everything works so far as I can tell. I don't like Samsung's UI (much preferred AOSP derivatives), but having access to original tweaks (color calibration, night mode etc.) is indeed very convenient. And it's really fast, at least as fast as LineageOS.

Congrats!

Same here with Contacts. The right permissions are granted, but the account is not recognized. However, if I try to enter it manually, I am told it's already on the device..

Chrome syncs, however.

One more point. Chrome syncs - but Google does not, in the sense that app passwords recorded by Google (and working on other devices) are not available, for instance.

Otherwise, great rom.

ok everything works...

No issue with contacts.. but I did dirty flash over the experience rom..

Issue with calendar, unable to open, requesting to activate the calendar storage.. on inspection the Calendar provider is in the system/priv-app folder, but maybe the incorrect version as it doesn't appear to be 'installed'

Installed version 7.0 for nougat and replaced over the original in twrp.. now working fine...

Regarding editing photos... you should be able to choose editing tools in googles 'Photo' app from the camera..

Oh a please do not have Magisk Manager app in the system storage... should never really be in the system storage..

I use the Hide Magisk Manager option, to stop it being detected by certain apps that looks for it, it is then suppose to uninstall the original version.. However it cant if it is in the system storage...
