anyone know if there are any plans to support the Nexus 6P? I've checked on their website and on xda, and multiple google searches have yealded no results. I was mainly wondering as i would like to see how the crossover features would work with a Virtual machine on windows 10 and the phone would work. i know it is still a young(ish) project and they just added support for the Pixel C. :good:

I personally would not use it on a Google device that is currently receiving regular monthly updates, but LOS sure is great on older legacy devices that are no longer supported like my Nexus 7 and Nexus 9 tablets. I also note P2XL is not officially supported so you have to take that into consideration as well. On supported devices you usually get updates once a week and they include security updates.

Google is no longer releasing monthly updates for Oreo. Since Pie is trash in my P2XL, I don't get any more monthly updates. I do hope lineage will support P2XL.
So, after being away from the Nexus line for 1-2 years, I finally am back with the Pixel 3 xl! I always had a custom ROM on my Nexus 6, and the LG G6 that I had (hate it with a passion) supported Miracast, so I guess I missed this one key piece common sense that was known by others for years:
Google does not support Miracast out of the box. Before you guys say, "this dumbass right here" what is your favorite Miracast solution?
I've seen some efforts like Plasma Mobile and Ubuntu Touch, both don't have support for Pixel 2XL... Are there any Non-Android based projects for Pixel 2 XL?
Thanks.

Looks like Graphene is the only non-Android OS available for Pixel 2. Check it out here: https://grapheneos.org/

I'm guessing you want this because you're one of those people who just wants to go against the grain, eh?
I remember when Android *WAS* against the grain.
The year was 2008, and I just got in my hands a brand new and not so shiny HTC Dream Android Developer Phone 1.
People said I was crazy, that it would never go anywhere.
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?
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 phonesGoogle 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.
