I’d be surprised if custom ROMs were a thing on the Google Pixel, which is the most likely phone company to allow such a thing to begin with. After all, their Pixels are still technically developer phones, AFAIK.
@noodlejetski@LWD “one of the best phones”? I beg to differ. Are they produced fair? No. Is the battery user-replaceable? No. Does anyone have control over the proprietary BLOBs still necessary? NO!
He brings up good points albeit not relevant to the discussion. One thing that really irks me about Pixel phones is lack of external display support. I really want a smartphone that can replace my laptop. Samsung Dex shows promise by why aren’t the main OS developers doing anything there?
that’s cool, but also not relevant to running custom ROMs. I’m using a Fairphone 4 with CalyxOS myself, but custom ROM support is much better when it comes to Pixels, regardless of how ethically they’ve been produced and how many external displays they support.

Pixels are one of the best phones for using custom ROMs. GrapheneOS, one of the most popular ROMs focused solely on privacy, only supports Pixels.

we all thank you for your service of taking a part of a sentence I wrote and refuting it outside of its context.

At least Pixel 8 supports external displays
