No worries, flash this through magisk and the call will be on earpiece.
Edit: also the build pro zip through TWRP for working AR stickers in camera.

Bluetooth audio don't work ...
"Phone identified as PIXEL 3 XL"
Can you change that? It would be much better to be recognized as Mi 8

You are complaining that a "Pixel Experience" ROM is identified as a Pixel 3 XL? A Pixel experience ROM should be recognized Pixel.

Nop. In the PixelExperience ROM, the device shouldn't be identified as "Pixel 3 XL", except if you want to get some other Pixel 3 stuff (which it's already included on PE ROM iirc).

If having your device identify as a Mi8 is your priority you can leave your device on stock firmware, choose from one of the multiple other Mi8 ROMs or edit 4 lines in your build.prop. People do want the other "stuff." Does Project Fi support a device identified as Mi8? I'm pretty sure you know the answer.

If you would like Project Fi just edit yourself the device identifier then lel. Just tell me how much the users care about Project Fi. Until today no one asked for that in PixelExperience Official group (https://t.me/pixelexperiencechat). Anyway there's no point to create an argument just because of that :good: And everyone knows what's good for yourself after all .

Not trying to argue, my apologies if that is how my comments were perceived. I recognize it may not be your personal preference but please tell me, what advantage does leaving the phone identified as a Mi8 provide the end user?

Actually none, except to avoid possible bugs with stuff that the device won't support

Hi,
To begin, please excuse me for my English, and as I'm a novice, please excuse me too if this post isn't in the category that it has to.
So I recently reset my phone (Honor 5X) and I flashed Lineage OS, without OpenGApps. But I noticed that all applications that require Google Services (Bank Apps, or Snapchat) do not works. So, I installed MicroG on my device, but it still doesn't work.
I heard about LineageOS for microG, and I flashed this OS yesterday. Each cross of self-verifying is complete in MicroG, but SafetyNet Test fails.
I heard about Droid Guard and a modification about it but I don't understand what.
Thanks to answer me!

I don't use apps that need safety net. But i watch this drama quite a while now. If I ever was forced to use those apps, i probably would run them on a second phone with stock ROM and locked bootloader. Btw.: with two phones you can do a real 2FA for banking.
even some rom advertise about supporting "signature spoofing"... I've same issue, so I found the "Smali Patcher" that explicitly patch system to support "signature spoofing" as real.

Downloaded and flashing now to test
Dont be dissapointed if i revert back to 10, i had issues with the 1st build of stock 11 (i havent tried the 2nd build), and ive seen others have them too
So dont take it personally if it doesnt pan out
Heres how i installed (much like most ROMS)
With the following in platform tools folder (unless you have your adb and fastboot in path) and at command prompt:
1) rom.zip (renamed from its longer name to make flashing easier)
2) twrp.img (renamed from its longer name to make flashing easier)
3) magisk.zip (renamed from its longer name to make flashing easier)
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot twrp.img
On device: wipe usual partitions &/ delete /sdcard/Android folder
push rom.zip /tmp
adb shell twrp install /tmp/rom.zip
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot twrp.img
push magisk.zip /tmp
adb shell twrp install /tmp/magisk.zip
adb reboot system
Setup ROM.....all good so far
Install full Magisk Manager (only stub appears from flashing zip) and reboot for full Magisk
Only gripes so far:
1) As with all ROMs ive ever seen with inbuilt G-Apps: Wheres Gmail? Annoying....
2) Be preprared for pretty much every app to need an update out of the box....needs more recent G-Apps cooked in if possible

Please let us know your thoughts and experience whether you continue to run this build out revert to 10 - thank you!
Great ROM definitely will stay here ??.... Maybe you should add more features in next builds like the possibility to hide the navbar without having to root (I only root because of this)
Just one question (I'm curious) why the name is Pixel 5a? @Lunarixus
images ? What a mania to present a product to us and not leave images of them

In this case it's Pixel experience, so what you get is the same visually as a Pixel with Android 11.
@Lunarixus
I suspect youre using the device name Pixel 5a to pass SafetyNet out of the box?
I would personally rather it was left at original values (Pixel 2/XL) and then use MagiskHide Props Config to change the fringerprint to Pixel 2/XL Android 11 to pass SafetyNet (as with every other custom Pixel 2/XL ROM 10 ive tested with post-October security patches (Pixekl 2 XL - Android 10), that way its still recognised as a Pixel 2/XL, but maybe thats just me
I mean, i get it, less faffing about for users, but well, its not for me personally - ive just used MagiskHide Props Config to change it back to Pixel 2XL - Android 11

The stock Pixel 2 XL fingerprint has an older platform security patch level so it won't pass on a newer ROM (in this case the stock FP is October and my ROM is November)
So I use Pixel 5a as the device name to keep Safetynet in BASIC mode and I user the Pixel 5 fingerprint to have a newer security patch fingerprint.
So no, using Pixel 2 XL as stock is not an option anymore.
excellent, I would prefer the rom like this, I had a problem with my jabra helmets, for a moment it is heard with jumps, but then well, another thing, for my curious, I have seen that in google photos, the unlimited storage in original photos It does not have an expiration date, it will always be like this, like the first pixels?

Yes, it uses the first Pixels permission to make that happen so it will be indefinitely unlimited.

All custom ROM's ive tested on the post-October security patch will pass SafetyNet with MagiskHid eProps Config, setting it to Pixel 2/XL and choosing Android 10 fingerprint. It passes in basic mode, without forcing basic mode....
Anyways this is a moot point for me as im heading back to Android 10 as this seems to have the same as yet unfixed issue with battery usage, it dropped dramatically on idle after i went to sleep last night, chewing through through battery. Your mileage may vary.

Not arguing, just pointing out, its a custom ROM, 99.9% of people are gonna root it, otherwise they'd be on stock...
Changing the device name has potential issues....
Hello!! Been using for couple of days, everything is great! Battery isn't still stable yet but that's normal in initial setups.
I'm just missing one thing (for now): Add cards to power menu is not possible... Can you please add it to next build? Thanks! @Lunarixus
EDIT: The option is there, didn't see it till today!

good luck with this one, been there, done that, not again, certain users like to make things more complicated than they need to be but fail to read the "whys" things are the way they are (like in this instance of taimen no longer supported) then argue back. thanks for the awesome ROM and all the work you do for us throughout the years! I appreciate it!

The "owners" of ROM were previously warned against posting HentaiOS ROMs on XDA.
Guess they forgot to intimate their maintainers
