LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of android, which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock android for your device.

All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit their Gerrit Code Review.

Info
I'll start this thread off by saying thank you to Invisiblek for answering my questions and providing me with a list of the commits he cherry-picked for his builds.

These builds are my own custom builds of LineageOS for the Pixel and Pixel XL and they contain a handful of cherry-picked fixes and features as well as many of my own changes to make Lineage look and feel exactly like the stock Pixel ROM while retaining all of its extra features.

Downloads
These builds are in no way automated and I can't guarantee any sort of schedule, but I will TRY to upload them at least once a week.

CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE LATEST BUILD FROM GOOGLE DRIVE!

CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE LINEAGE SU ADDON (MODIFIED TO WORK WITH THE PIXEL AND PIXEL XL)!

Installation
Because of the A/B partition layout of the Pixel devices, if you choose to flash Open GApps with this ROM you must first flash the ROM with TWRP and then reboot your recovery before flashing the GApps package or GApps will install on the wrong slot.

[COLOR="DB4437"]IF YOU ARE FLASHING OPEN GAPPS, INCLUDE THE forcenewcamera KEYWORD IN YOUR CONFIGURATION FILE TO INSTALL THE CORRECT CAMERA![/COLOR]

[COLOR="DB4437"]IF YOU HAVE ALREADY FLASHED THE INCORRECT CAMERA AND ARE FLASHING OVER TOP OF AN EXISTING GAPPS INSTALL, YOU NEED TO INCLUDE THE forceclean KEYWORD IN YOUR CONFIGURATION FILE OR GOOGLE CAMERA WILL NOT BE INSTALLED![/COLOR]

Features
Round Icons
Round icons are enabled and I've included the Pixel Settings app icon and the Downloads apps icon, as well as my own custom round icons for the Lineage Music, Recorder, Gallery, SIM Toolkit and Terminal apps. I used Roman Nurik's Android Asset Studio to assist me in the creation of these icons.


Pixel Navbar and Animation
The Pixel navbar commit that Invisiblek uses in his builds includes custom vectorized navbar assets resulting in the circle within the home button being incorrectly sized and positioned. I have corrected this by removing those custom assets and including the proper Pixel assets.


Pixel Settings
I've added the Pixel gesture animations back, enabled the camera flip gesture, moved Android Pay back out to the "Device" category, switched to the stock battery settings icon and switched the first time fingerprint setup animation to the Pixel Imprint animation (which determines the color of your device and shows the proper device color in the animation).


Pixel Colors
I've re-themed Lineage Settings and Emergency Info settings with the proper Pixel colors so everything is now the same theme within the Settings app (previously only the stock Android settings were colored properly).


Pixel Safety & Regulatory Labels and Manual
I've included the Safety & Regulatory manual and Regulatory labels in the "About phone" section.


Pixel Sounds
My builds include all of the Pixel ringtones, alarms, and notification sounds (in addition to those already included in Lineage) and I've also replaced all of the UI sounds with the Pixel UI sounds (such as the screenshot sound).

Pixel Wallpapers
My builds include the Pixel "Live earth", "Live data" and "New elements" wallpapers from the stock Pixel ROM.

Pixel Strings
I've switched a handful of strings in various parts of the ROM to those found in the stock Pixel ROM, such as "Fingerprint" being changed to "Pixel Imprint" and "Gestures" being changed to "Moves", as well various other similar small changes.

Pixel Charging Scale
I've switched the charging scale that is shown while the device is powered off and plugged in to the stock Pixel charging scale.

Unlimited Pixel Photo Storage
I don't know why this doesn't work in some ROMs that include the necessary nexus.xml file, but I've included a second copy of it with a different name so it won't ever be overwritten by a GApps package and I've tested it thoroughly and have confirmed that my photos take up none of my drive storage when backed up.

No GApps
These builds do not include GApps because I've seen multiple people asking for builds of Lineage without GApps, either because they don't use them or because Open GApps now works with the Pixel and Pixel XL, so people want to install only the GApps they want.

30 FPS Camera Fix
I've cherry-picked a commit that fixes Google Camera so that you can record 30 FPS video without it crashing. I don't know if this was ever an issue with Snap, but if it was it should also be fixed by this change if you opt out of installing Google Camera.

Various Patches/Cherry-Picks
My builds have dm-verity disabled and include a kernel patch to hide the unlocked state of your bootloader from SafetyNet. I've also included a few changes that get LiveDisplay up and running, but the RGB color calibration settings still don't work.

so on first boot i get android.process.acore has stopped. will not finish the setup just hangs up on the first setup screen.
Will look into this. Again I don't have an actual Pixel to test this on because I have a Pixel XL but the code between the two is basically the same and these builds should work.

I am running the linage 14.1 build from a few nights ago. At first I was getting an error but I rebooted and just re flashed it as well as open gaps.

I have been using the rom for a few days but I have not had the chance to test everything to any great extent. Gapps is working for me my main apps that I use daily like gmail, phone, sms, toshi all see to work fine. I havent even dug into the settings to much but everything is working so far. I dont have this build so it might be a different story.

Thanks for bringing lineage OS to the pixel I've been waiting for it and I appreciate your hard work.

I'm confused. Are you using my build or not? I've only done one build for the Pixel so far...

Yeah I am using your build but it's from a few days ago. I found it on the lineage website but not directly. It is your build though.

Your on ambient display or whatever. It's set to turn on automatically at night.

You couldn't have found my build anywhere but here. I literally just did the first build for sailfish on the 29th and posted it later in the day on XDA.

That's because LiveDisplay works in my builds and it's turned on automatically when you do a clean install. Just go turn it off if you don't want to use it (I hate it too, but I figure that there are probably some people who use it so I include the fixes for it).

I guess I'm not using your build then. I am using a lineage 14.1 build from the lineage site though.
What Lineage site? There are no official builds of Lineage for the Pixel or Pixel XL on the official Lineage site.

You should probably figure out what the hell you're running on your phone before you post in a thread totally unrelated to the ROM you're using.

I'm an asshole? You're the one coming into my thread and posting without even knowing what software you've installed on your phone, saying you got it from the "Lineage site".

Enough your acting foolish. You attacked me for trying to be helpful and I responded. My response was warranted and anything further is just more off topic. All I can say is try being a little less condensing in the future and you won't have more posts like mine from other people in similar situations. Yeah I made a mistake, sorry. I am without a doubt on a different build.
