Are there any custom roms for the pixel 6 pro? I don't see any on XDA and I have a hard time finding them with just a Google search. I appreciate you answering me.
there are a few (2) listed in the development section in this forum. but most aren't listed on XDA anymore. You will want to join a TG group that lists all the ROMs that are currently available (approx 8 right now). The name of the group is Pixel6Chat
Ahh I'm finally getting the hint. Why has development migrated to tg? I've never even used tg lol.
Yes, there are quite a few. crDroid, Spark, Lineage, Derpfest, AICP, AOSP Extended are some.
telegram links are not allowed

Too many n00bs cluttering developers threads with posts that don't contribute to development. It gets annoying fast when people keep re-asking the same question that has already been answered multiple times in the thread or is answered in the original post, or complain about bugs without providing a logcat or at least details on how to reproduce the issue.
I remember when XDA used to be about Android development, but as it gained popularity over the years it started to become more of a general Android/smartphone/tech help and support forum.
I see. I can hardly blame the developers. Perhaps a more tightly moderated board would be more encouraging.
Definitely sad state of affairs!
I figured it may have been for another reason, say why we lose things like vanced.

True that.
Sadly, especially the new generation prefer TG groups instead of forum. But if the reason is that people keep asking the same questions, it might happen more on any social media or group, as the forum should be better for searching function and tags by arguments. One limitation perhaps is that the new XDA forum is not compatible with Tapatalk, and, for mobility reasons and use on smartphone would be a nice method to access.
As the original Google firmware delivered with the stock rom has some special features (we know mainly some code related to Tensor computing, for photography on gcam, as well on dictation etc.) I wonder if we may see any review here, about the main difference, which features are common, because part of AOSP rom code, and what we may miss. Does the custom roms in Pixel apply ie the June updates?
In my previous devices I always used custom roms, but I never owned a Pixel and of course would be interesting to know about the difference.

I hate telegram and refuse to use it. Is there a discord we can join to get the updates and or downloads? I joined xda years back for custom os like lineage for my android devices.
When was lineage os for pixel 6 pro built? Twrp?

You can download some roms like lineage for p6p here. Just use fastboot -w
Then fastboot update "rom.zip"
I can't guarantee that all these roms use that method but lineage os does.

True I know those commands. But It will wipe my data and well I kinda dont want to do that right now. I will download them though for the future when twrp becomes a thing for the p6p.
I have been using fastboot commands to update my p6p monthly security patch . Magisk prevents it.
Thank you for the link! I just downloaded them. Will keep them saved for the future when I can use them.

This seems to be a factor too. I read in one of the descriptions of a recent released ROM that proprietary features would not be included because of similar concerns.

agreed! But time will tell. Glad to see within the past month custom roms have been happening. Pixel 6 pro has a 5 yr google support so there is no reason to really move to custom roms unless its for fun with messing around and experiencing features.
I must say, latest A13 beta, rooted, with AOSP Mods and a few others, makes the Pixel 6 Pro feel GREAT

You know why this "new generation" go to TG? Because on XDA if someone complains about a bug or something they have to deal with it. On TG if someone says something they don't like or want to deal with they can ban them. Way to many people lacking the mental capacity have admin rights on TG.

The issuer of my ROM has said that this is his last release.
I'd like to know how I can avoid being orphaned by great, hardworking people( both Mildwild and Cyanogenmod stopped releasing updates)
Is there a forum or source for a standard version of android and user interface that can't be orphaned?

First of all wrong place to post. I've reported the post so a moderator can move it. Read the rules before you post without thinking and get caught in hot water. People aren't going to answer you and you're only going to get told off for doing this.
Technology evolves we can't stay back on old devices forever. Devs move on to newer devices and the older ones don't get support. For the Desire we're lucky we have so many devs bringing newer versions of Android. My suggestion stop complaining and carry on with your life or buy a new phone.

Hey,
since I am getting my 7t soon and always valued the oneplus phones as developer friendly I am wondering if the lack of devs and roms/kernels for this particular phone will sort itself out over time? Is there any issue preventing things like proper twrp and stuff from happening?
Can you recommend a kernel (from the few out there) and is there any other place to look for them?
ElementalX has it covered, right?

Most of those links are semi-private by invite-only.
Developers got tired of requests and demands from rookie users on XDA, and rightly or wrongly felt under-appreciated at complaints about their free for-fun work...and then took their for-funsies development to more private areas. There also has been much squabbling and drama about "originality" and "kanging" in conjunction with moderation here over the decade+ Android has been a thing; which annoyed developers more. XDA really was a victim of XDA's and Androids own success over crappy OEMs undermaintaining their own firmware. Thus the seeming deadness and lack of development across most devices, now.
I know links and very active and very-elite groups on TG--but am not sharing them, because then I'll lose my own access to those channels. Not trying to show-off or be a jerk here, just explaining how and why.

You won't really get Android 11. Stick with 10 or deal with the tg crowd. Those are your options on a >3 year old phone with few supporters on XDA and fewer developers.

Hi all,
Can somebody tell something about his/her experience with MIUI Mix ROM? Especially in comparison with the xiaomi.eu ROM? Both information about the stable as the weekly ROM are welcome.
Kind regards,
Thomas
I just dirty flashed MMX v21.6.23 directly over miui.eu ROM v21.6.23 without wiping anything (except Dalvik) and it works perfectly.
It looks extremely similar for me, just maybe more smoothly (Placebo effect?)
Let me check power consumption tonight and report.

Hi. although they are Devices different and Processors different.
I hope this personall opinion can help you understand some points to be considered, especially the use of battery by rom mix vs. rom me
SOT should be about the same, however standby is much better.
Definitely a smoother experience versus Xiaomi.EU and lots of useless tracking bloat removed.
Giving credit to where it's due, still Xaiomi.EU's work with Team MMX optimizations.
Thank you all so far for the great comments!
As promised, I measured the standby power consumption during last night (see attached), and indeed it was much better (mostly 0.12%/h) than the previous night with miui.eu (see second attachment)
I hope it helps.
I wouldn't recommand this rom as it seems closed source and no info whatsoever on developers but a telegram channel. Could be spyware/backdoor in it. Or maybe I'm wrong. But I won't trust it.

OK but MIUI itself, while based on opensource Android but adding a lot of proprietary components, isn't really open source !
So obviously, MMX cannot be more open source than MIUI (Xiaomi) itself

Been using MiuiMix on my Mi Pad 4 for 3 years, if they wanted to steal credentials they would have a long time ago.

I cannot find a lot about it, and MIUI Mix in general (which indeed maybe a red flag on itself). Could you maybe point us to your source?
MiuiMix posted their roms on XDA just like many other new custom developers in late 2017 to early 2018, this is the time I bought my Mi Pad 4 (unlocked from seller).
I've look deep into the files and services that runs on the rom from fresh install, seems to be no signs of spyware, but of course I'm no security expert (only took two courses in college).
My reasoning for them being kicked out of so many Telegram channels and disappearing from XDA would be their roms are not based on their own work and there's probably lots of backlash from the developers of Xiaomi.EU and the general custom rom community.
I'll say this though, I totally agree Xiaomi.EU is the safest bet to whomever wanting to run a custom rom based on MIUI given they debloat those Chinese tracker apps still left on Xiaomi.EU rom.
This is obviously one of the the reasons why like MiuiMix (it's very clean, Chinese tracker apps removed), but then again I might be dealing with a super sophisticated spyware app baked into the rom.

Hey everyone, anyone here on the ProtonAOSP ROM? Was thinking of trying it out but wanted to get some feedback from actual users. I'm currently stock rooted and am really missing all the ROMs I had at my disposal on the 4 XL! I'm hoping that devs start it all up soon! My go to was DirtyUnicorns, but they shut down dev last year
I was using on P2XL for a while. Its nothing special (nor are most), basically gave me the freedom to not keep building AOSP for myself, so a convenient way to avoid goog crapware.
You should look at grapheneos.

There are a lot of ROMs for the 6 series. They're just not posted on xda anymore. I think there's 6 or 7 now. Proton, Derp, Statix, cRdroid, Calyx, Graphene etc
I have tried a few. They're ok. 🫤
You can get them here if you were wondering.
pretty easy install, just use the fastboot -w command , fastboot update <pathtorom.zip> for most.
