Nearly done! Migration cleanup is mostly done. There are a small number of issues left that we continue to work on, but all the heavy lifting is done.

Pixel Experience ROM for the Galaxy S9+ and the Galaxy S9
What is this?
Pixel Experience is an AOSP based ROM, with Google apps included and all Pixel goodies (launcher, wallpapers, icons, fonts, bootanimation)
Our mission is to offer the maximum possible stability and security, along with essential features for the proper functioning of the device
Based on Android 8.1
What's working?
Everything seems to be working; same as the official lineage build.
What's not working?
Obviously Samsung's own features such as Samsung Pay, KNOX, Theme Center, Game Launcher, etc. won't be ported to LineageOS Pixel Experience. We may have our own implementation to similar functions, though.
Iris sensor does not work because AOSP upstream does not support that yet.
IMS services (VoLTE, VoWiFi, etc). Samsung has their own proprietary implementation. It is not really possible to easily port that to LineageOS PixelExperience.
Instructions:
Make sure TWRP has been installed and functional.
Install the BRH4 vendor (not sure about the new(er) BRI1 vendor)
Download the latest build linked below
Reboot to recovery
Wipe data and cache (required if you switch from other ROMs). Even better if you have nothing to loose and wipe system,data,cache,storage etc
Flash the latest build (and gapps). DONT flash gapps. they are already included in the rom.
Reboot and enjoy :victory:

It's the lineage camera;gcam doesn't work on aosp as i'd like to yet*; so that should do the job just fine.
As for stability and quality as far as i can see it's the same as it works on the lineage build: pretty stable and quality is fine* (passed my standards anyway)
Working great on my s9+ . Trust me today only i tried the PE 8.1 gsi and it had a few issues and i am glad to see this rom created specifically for s9 and s9+ . Great work and thanks a lot!
Thanks for a great rom. Quick, smooth, excellent stuff!! Just wondering is substratum support included or could this be a future feature? Thanks again. ?

There's a dark mode option under display in settings in the style tab that you can select as black in lineage os, so the pixels are turned off. I cant find this option on this rom, help? And is there any way to switch the navigation buttons?
