Greetings, PixelOS community!

As 2023 draws to an end, we are excited to unveil – PixelOS 14 stable, based on QPR1. The December patch has been merged, available at https://github.com/PixelOS-Fourteen/.

We almost have feature parity with our Android 13 builds, with the rest of the missing features coming in future builds.

PixelOS 14

Important Update:

Recently Google has been taking a proactive approach to blocking fingerprints used to pass Play Protect checks. After trying to work around this, we've decided on a more user friendly approach of having the props in an overlay. This means it can be updated more seamlessly without the need to wait for updates every time a fingerprint is blocked.

Feature Additions:

  • Ability to disable QS battery estimates
  • Ability to hide power menu on lock screen
  • Ability to secure tiles from lock screen
  • Added package name to installed app details
  • Double tap to trigger doze
  • Face Unlock from Paranoid Android
  • High touch polling rate*
  • Lineage Health Service*
  • LiveDisplay Feature
  • One shot AutoBrightness
  • Feature availability is contingent on maintainer opt-in and device compatibility

The new clock faces from QPR1 have also been added

This year has been a rollercoaster, with many ups and downs, but Christmas is a time to forget those hard turns and congregate to find joy in the little things. Whether it's spending time with family, exchanging gifts, or simply enjoying the holiday spirit, there are so many ways to celebrate the season.

May your Christmas be filled with love, laughter, and all the things that bring you happiness. May it be a time of reflection, gratitude, and hope for a bright future.

The year 2022

As the year 2022 comes to a close, we at PixelOS would like to reflect on the past year and share some updates with our community.

In 2022, PixelOS underwent a significant transformation, evolving from a small project with limited scope and structure to a more expansive and well-organized endeavour. While the name remained the same, virtually everything else changed, including the team members, the addition of a website, automation processes, and blog pages. It was a year of growth and development for PixelOS, and we are proud of the progress we have made.

We are thrilled to report that PixelOS has seen tremendous growth in downloads and website traffic this year compared to previous years. We have had about 400,000 downloads this year (we started to properly count downloads during the tail end of the year, actual figure must have been higher), and our website has seen almost 15,000 weekly visits (not including traffic to our blog page)

We are also proud to announce that PixelOS is now actively supporting 27 devices across 6 different brands, including Asus, Micromax, Motorola, OnePlus, Realme, and Xiaomi. We are grateful to be able to work on such a wide range of devices.

Finally, we want to give a special shoutout to our growing Telegram community, which is now over 5.4k members strong. Your support and engagement have been integral to our success, and we are grateful for your ongoing involvement in the PixelOS community.

Overall, 2022 has been a fantastic year for PixelOS, and we are excited to see what the future holds. While we are proud of our accomplishments, we also recognize that there is always room for improvement and growth.

We want to take this opportunity to thank all of our users, supporters, and community members for your continued loyalty and engagement. We couldn't have made it this far without you, and we look forward to continuing this growth in 2023.

What about the December 2022 update?

Unfortunately, our planned updates have been delayed. We understand that you may be looking forward to these updates, and we appreciate your patience as we resolve any issues and get everything back on track. Be sure to keep an eye on our update channel for updates on the status of our releases. We can't wait to share what we've been working on with you.

We wish you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy new year! See you in 2023, with a new update of PixelOS!
