[Nexus 6P Android Development] PixelBoot:
​

PixelDust ROM is an Android 10 ROM especially built for Google Pixel and Nexus devices.

We rebased the project to Code Aurora Sources, more commonly known as CAF. CAF ROMs are therefore generally considered to be more optimized for Qualcomm’s Snapdragon SoCs than AOSP ROMs (in performance, RAM management, battery, etc.). We strive to keep the PixelDust Experience as close as possible to Android as Google intended. We add a decent selection of the coolest custom ROM features that would've been missed if they hadn't been included.

The PixelDust Crew would highly appreciate if you would take a little of your time and leave your valuable feedback, your honest opinion or just say hello. If you should encounter a bug, or some kind of glitch that seems to be abnormal and you are pretty sure that it is related to the ROM (and not related to any special apps or mods you flashed on top), then please give as many details as possible.

Special shoutouts to Roger.T for his amazingly designed wallpapers, logos and the best bootanimation I ever had on my Pixel!!! If you like our work, please consider to buy Roger the first beer, and a few more for the other team members and spezi77. Cheers!

BTW, please consider to take a logcat, because you know that:

Disclaimer:

If your device fails to comply with your standards of what you consider functioning, I am not liable. This is provided free of charge and does not come with a warranty. Although, if you provide a log, I can provide some sort of assurance that I will look into your issue.

[IMG="Installation guide"]https://abload.de/img/installationguidemmkme.png[/IMG]

Pre-requisites:

* You are familiar with helping yourself out of awkward situations. You won't defame or complain at the developer of this ROM for your misfortunes.

* You are familiar with using fastboot

* Bootloader unlocked

* You have created a backup of your ROM & data

First time installing PixelDust ROM, or coming from another ROM:

Grab our recovery from the links section and install it.

Through TWRP Recovery:

Install Zip > Install Image > Choose ‘recovery.img‘ > Select partition ‘Recovery’ > Swipe to confirm flash

Through Fastboot:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Install the ROM and then wipe your internal data partition.

Through TWRP Recovery:

Wipe > Format data

Through Fastboot:

fastboot -w

Reboot into system and wait until the process finishes, it could take a little bit. After the installation is done, I suggest waiting before using the phone because it usually goes into thermal throttling after installing a ROM.

Dirty flashing PixelDust ROM:

Install the ROM

Through TWRP Recovery:

Install Zip > Swipe to confirm flash

Reboot into system and wait until the process finishes.
