Will Pixel C receive Android Pie unofficial ROM

The Google Pixel C is still a fast tablet that can handle many tasks you throw at it. I just heard that Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 model just received an unofficial ROM for Android 9.0 (Pie). Is anyone working on it for the Pixel C?

I hope so but I think the Pixel C is too niche and we just don't have much developer support around.

Such a shame considering the price of the Pixel C when it got released

Pixel 5 Support

I’m in the market for a new phone and would like to use LineageOS or possibly GrapheneOS and I like the security of the Pixel 3+ line. I need the fingerprint reader, so Pixel 4 line isn’t really an option, so I’m considering Pixel 3/3a XL or the 5. What I’m wondering is whether any developers are gearing up to support Pixel 5 LineageOS and what opinions are on the likely timeframe for that given the recent flood of support for the Pixel line. Are we talking weeks, months, or a year before it’s realistic to run LineageOS reliably on the Pixel 5? What’s been the timeframe for other new phones in the past?

Pixel 5 ships with android 11. So there will be no official lineageOS as long as 18.x isn't officially released. Maybe next year.

Thanks! Does that mean it would be impossible for LineageOS 17.1 (Android 10 based) to work on a Pixel 5 or that it’s unlikely that anyone would bother wasting their time on a short lived endeavor?

While this is good, ill keep my hopes alive for custom roms soon. We have someone working on TWRP which is even better news.
Problem with microsoft is they havent done a whole lot with recent updates to fix the major issues with the phone.

General XDA Article: These are the Pixel 7 features coming to older Pixel phones

These are the Pixel 7 features coming to older Pixel phones
A new update, set to arrive sometime in December, will bring features found on the new Pixel 7 series to older Pixel handsets.

These are the Pixel 7 features coming to older Pixel phones​Google recently announced its new Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro, along with new software features. While a majority of these typically stay exclusive to new devices, some eventually trickle down to older handsets. Thankfully, Google will be bringing some of the more interesting Pixel 7 series enhancements to older Pixel devices in the near future.

According to Phone Arena, Google will be bringing several features from its latest Pixel handsets to older devices. Unfortunately, by older devices, it means handsets with its first-generation Tensor processor like the Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, and Pixel 6a. As for the features that will be arriving, there is Clear Calling, Guided Frame, and Real Tone. Clear Calling should be extremely beneficial, improving the call quality by minimizing background noises, while Guided Frame will improve on the current accessibility options, allowing those with poor eyesight to shoot better selfies. There will be vocally guided instructions so users can position and pose in real-time, along with a countdown timer so that pictures can be taken at just the right time.
Furthermore, Real Tone will also be getting improved, offering more realistic skin tone colors in photos, and spatial audio will be introduced to the Pixel Buds Pro but will be exclusive to the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. Coming to all older and supported models of Pixel devices will be the new “At a Glance” widget, giving users more important information than ever before. The Audio Message Transcription feature will also be available to all older and supported Pixel handsets, transcribing phone audio on the fly. Sadly, those that had hoped for Face Unlock on the Pixel 6 series will be disappointed, as it looks like it will not be in the cards for the upcoming feature update.
The new feature will arrive sometime in December, but if you want to gain early access, you can sign up for the Android 13 beta. But be warned, since it is beta software, there is always a chance that something could go wrong, and it is not recommended for people who are using their phones as daily devices. If interested, you can always find great deals on Pixel 6 devices, especially with the recent announcement of the Pixel 7 series.

Sure.
cool, but imma be sticking with fp sensor cause it works well enough for me
The only one of those features that is actually a feature may be the "clear calling" one, which would likely be implemented at a HAL level rather than gapps level, since real time audio processing is a job for hardware, not software.
The other two are pure gapps nonsense.
