A11 roms? - Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers

So I just switched over from a Moto G5 to this phone. The first thing I did was install LineageOS 19.1 (after playing with the stock rom a bit). I gotta be honest… I'm not loving Android 12. Are there any still active Android 11 builds left? Everything I've looked at here are either 12 or 13 now.
Back on the G5, there were some folks that were posting updated Lineage builds with back ported patches (even back to L14). How hard is it to do that? I admit I'm clueless at actually building the rom, but if it is something that can be learnt fairly easily, I'd be game to try

I might take a look at that module, but I've been avoiding anything xposed so far.
IMO A12 is just fuggly and that's the biggest reason I want to ditch it.
Ideally, I'd like to find a build of Lineage18.1 that has any/all security patches backported (or learn how to do it myself) Even better, find a way to get Oreo or Pie to work on the Pixel5

I hated A12 for a long time. Didn't really get on it til A13 was out.
Between quick settings customization and repainter for color customization it really helps.
I'm able to use the stock Pixel ROM happily with AOSP MODs. I think that the quick settings look really nice with the help of AOSP MODs.
I'd give it a solid chance before saying it isn't for you, and if it isn't I think the best A11 ROM is crdroid.
Could be others but Crdroid A11 ROM was my ROM of choice before upgrading.
P5 came with A10 IIRC, so you may be able to get that going but anything below that I'd be surprised.

I actually felt the same about android 12, just didn't fit my eye. So about 6 months ago, I installed the latest stock version of android 11. I was originally planning to root the P5, and install flar's kernel, but everything has run so well, I've not gone any further. I still may install twrp, and give elemental a try ... we'll see. My advice, go for it.

@andybones hey how did you get your QS tiles to be bigger, like in your screenshot, and labels underneath the icons? Is it the premium feature of repainter app? I really like that style and look.

I love this feature, it's actually a wonderful mod in AOSP MODs "Move tile icons to the top"

Hah funny story. I used Fox's Magisk Module Manager to download AOSP MOD but for some reason, the latest version in Fox app was v2.2, not v2.4. I was wondering why I didn't have that option until I realised that I was using the wrong version! Anyway, updated to the latest v2.4. and now I see that option. Thanks for your reply, otherwise I would've never realised it.

Glad I was able to help you figure it out!
This is why I like to flash the canary versions.
I find that it's very stable.

Most custom feature filled 9.0 rom?

I'm about to make the jump from Oreo to Pie.
I would like to know which 9.0 currently has the most custom feature included. If it's also quite stable it's a plus.
Searching around the 9.0 roms threads I narrowed down to Nitrogen and MSM Extended.
Any pros/cons for both? Or any other suggestion?
Also I would like to ask if I should stick with stock rom kernels (which i suppose is MSM one for Extended rom, dunno for nitrogen i suppose LOS) or if there is a better alternative.
Thanks
I'm currently on HavocOS (first time ever) coming from stock oxygenOS and LineageOs. So far its been really good. In the settings is a completely new Tab with 18 extra categories of customization.

MARS_SOM_SYSTEM?
MARS_SOM_BASE?
What does it mean?
Well, the MARS_SOM_SYSTEM contains all the ROM Files, while the Base only contains Build Properties and Configs. They work together and are splitted to make everything safe to use and easy to debug...
You can use both, or just one of them. But they play better together <3
I did this personally awhile back for lg v20 7.0. Is a great idea, but can be a pain. Took forever to flash via magisk. I just never made a post. I dont have github either.
Yours may be way faster and better. My version was whole roms. But this was back on nougat 7.0.
You are still first post so don't worry .
The next coolest thing would be a systemless kernel, if even possible?
please explain a little bit more.. for people that haven't the same technical background..
should I download base, system or both to unzip and zip?

The Idea is still solid. I started that with the Nexus 6, 6 or 7 Years ago or so. But since many Androids are lacking TWRP is Magisk the only way to play. Many ROM makers adapted that Idea for their ROMs but looks like most of the ROM makers are gone, except some few ones. Yeha, it's pain in the Ass to create and handle but it's nice for the Users since it's Systemless.

More Infos are coming along with Release Zips, but for now:
- BASE are System Props only which may be the biggest part to handle for Qualcomm Devices since they are a lot and very Device specific sometimes.
- SYSTEM is pure porting of Android Files. XMLs, Props, Apps, Frameworks, Libs, Overlays (Including an own MARS Overlay which adds Device Features like AoD, Nightlight and more), Permissions, Firmware Parts and so on. This Part is most importantly and makes the GSI nearly Pixel like. I hope People will contribute and work with Me on that
You can handle them as Seperate Modules to say it in short. Seperated Zips for better debugging, testing and rescue. Enjoy <3
Quick Heads-up. I am waiting for PHH to release Android 12 GSIs with Magisk support. I can do much more with AOSP compared to the actual Android 12 BETA 5 and Google GSIs overall. Looking forward to the next Level

Galaxy M31 GSI

I am using Samsung m31, Exynos 9611, this phone is Project Treble supported. Does anyone tried GSI?
As it is running on exynos any chance?
Yes, it runs. I am currently using Corvus OS on M31s.
Install TWRP as mentioned for your device and then follow this guide
How to flash a Generic System Image (GSI) on Project Treble supported devices
So your device supports Project Treble, what does that mean for you? It means you can flash a Generic System Image such as LineageOS or Resurrection Remix! Enjoy AOSP-based custom ROMs! Here's a guide on how to install these ROMs.

Can you explain how you installed corvus os on m31s?
Thanks in advance
Installed TWRP as mentioned in the forum.
Followed the steps for TWRP way of installing GSI in the link of my precious posts in this thread. Normally, boot into the GSI. That's it.
PS - Only Corvus OS allows SafetynetBypass. I have tried it on phhussons GSI and haven't been able to pass safetynet. Even dabbled with magisk hide prop config. Wasn't able to achieve anything.

Also, no GSI provides stable experience for long term as the stock with root. I am now running stock on my M31s as I need a working phone for use.

Ok, do we have any bugs with corvus os?
Yeah, you might encounter some unstability. But overall experience is really good. The phone is responsive most of the time. You could try if you want to see what it is. I haven't gone back to Corvus, ever since Android 12 update came, so maybe the new firmware might have added some fixes.

Yeah, I'm fascinated by the responsiveness of the corvus os. And this new android stock update is eating up more RAM. And I feel one UI 4.1 is not good as 3.1.
I'm thinking of weather to switch to gsi or not.
For long usability, what do you think will be the better option?
Switch to GSI or reset the existing stock rom user data?
Have you root

Have you rooted your phone? If you have, give the GSI a try. If not, try following ONE UI Optimization guide on xda itself. Then, decide, whether you want it or not. I use slightly debloated ONE UI 4 rooted and with certain floating feature tweaks and build.prop tweaks as well. It has given me good mileage, but not as much as the Redmi Note 5 Pro, when I installed Superior OS A12 on it. But it will be definitely better than factory.

Question Keyboard keeps disappearing

I have LineageOS installed on my Redmi Note 10 5G and randomly the keyboard will go through this loop of:
Appearing for .25s-2.5s
Disappearing for 3-10s
and it is really irritating. I haven't found a fix for this but I can temporarily fix it by restarting. Please help me find a permanent fix!
EDIT: Not sure if I should re-flash the ROM to something other than LineageOS (e.g. Pixel Experience) and that'll fix it.
I ended up reflashing to the latest version of Treble Pixel Experience, hopefully this has fixed it. Until it disappears again, consider this the fix.
whats ur opinion in LineageOS or Pixel Experiance ? I would try it

pe is just fully stock android from "Google Pixel's" with some tweaks (just like all of the roms and gsis too) to boot on other devices. No customization whatsoever, so if you wish to have a stock android experience with nothing special then pe is the best
Lineage os is balanced to stock experience with some customizations and a few more gapps included, but from some sources says that their open source apps give you more privacy, and the rom gives you access to set more privacy like "Trust", "Privacy guard", "Protected Apps" and scrambling PIN in lock screen
so go to pixel experience if you just want a full stock android experience, or lineage os for more privacy and some customizations
