Great Rom, using it as my daily driver.

Some Information for you guys

now, 2022/07:

Running fine on latest Update, installed via Web Installer (which is great!)

with Magisk the latest Version (25.1) and latest Proton Kernel.

Safetynet is fine, Banking App is working great with Zygisk (every google app + banking app), force Zygisk, rename Magisk and Airfrozen (freeze Magisk).

Something to fix here on XDA Thread: Mainpost (Post 1 from this thread) shows still Android 11, but we're on Android 12.

Something that would be cool: Magisk, vbmeta disable and Proton Kernel via Web Installer.

And one question: Any Chance that Proton AOSP is coming on Android 12L ?
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] ViperPyro:
Proton AOSP is already running 12L

What is up with this? Uograded to pixel 5 from a crapped out pixel 3 and this now.... What a strange bug???
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Paul.ryan:
I am having trouble using the web installer. Everything seems to work fine until it boots the screen that is labeled "fastbootd". It begins to unpack what I think is the system .IMG and then my web browser crashes. I have tried Bing and Chrome and it fails at the same place everytime. Any idea what is happening?

I'm going to download it and try a manual install next. Do I have to install the whole Android SDK Platform Tools or is Fastboot_ADB enough? I already have that.
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Veiranx:
Are you on Windows 10? 11? Linux?
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Paul.ryan:
No old school. Windows 7.

Update:

I was able to install Proton manually today and it really wasn't as scary as the instructions make it out to be.

But then I have flashed a new bootloader on a Droid Incredible where if you lost connection to your computer or the phone died it was truly bricked.

I am wondering if maybe my browser crashed because I ran out of ram. It is an old computer with only 4GB of ram and if the online tool was causing the web browser to unpack a file in ram maybe it just ran out of space and crashed the program.

I'm thinking out loud here and feedback is welcome.
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] mityman50:
Hi all, hoping someone can take pity on me and provide some assistance. Yesterday I was a bit drunk and wanted to factory reset my phone. I wound up on XDA because "hey why not try a new ROM," something I haven't played with in about 6 years and was never proficient with anyways. I used the web installer here which worked flawlessly, dangerously easy for someone inebriated.

This morning I'm trying to go back to factory and after my best attempt I hit a roadblock. What I've done so far: I downloaded the platform tools and set up adb in my PATH environment. Downloaded the Pixel 5 Android 13 OTA file. And have followed all of the steps here without any issue up until actually sideloading the .zip. It gets about 45% complete then fails. My phone says it aborted and I shouldn't try to reboot or turn the phone off until I successfully sideload an image. It says error 21 and signature verification failed. All I did to the .zip was rename it and move it to the platform-tools folder.

Can anyone help me out here? Thank you so much.

Edit- was able to revert to stock by flashing a factory image, not the OTA image. The Google Messages app immediately crashed and I was reminded why I started this in the first place. Good times.

I'll recommend my personal setup.

Stock ROM rooted + AOSP MODs.

Gives the best of both. Stock ROM for stability. AOSP MODs for that custom experience.

Discontinued ROM
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] cemg92:
I'm so disappointed. It quickly became my favorite ROM over the summer, paired with the Proton kernel. Would have loved to see continued development for these. Maybe the donations just weren't there, and I get it. This stuff takes a lot of time and people have bills to pay. Any other alternatives out there? Mainly focused on lightness and speed.
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] OttoUsualConsumer:
I'm using crDroid and its a very nice rom!

Its not as light as proton but its stable with Android 13, has lots of customizations and you can choose which gapps you want to install, but you can also leave them.

There's also calyxOS if you like security or lineageOS just dropped LineageOS 20 with android 13 but its a nightly as I saw 🙂
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] HT123:
How is your battery life on crdroid vs Proton. Was thinking of switching to crdroid but wondering about that first.
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] OttoUsualConsumer:
Its okay, I can go through one day as a normal user (no gaming or something), I have to charge it every evening. same with stock android, so I see no difference here.

I used proton just a few days and I cant remember how battery life was there, sorry.

[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] aosp_cat:
That's great. I saw this feature added in version 11.6.0. Assuming I download the source code and compile it, make it, and then the device enters the bootloader, fastboot flash all - w. After completion, I can start the fastboot flash lock? Do you need to sign based on the above information? After compiling the source code, if a signature is required, how should it be signed? What are the detailed steps? I want to compile the source code myself and verify this feature. Also, how is this function implemented and in which module is the specific code? I hope you can provide a prompt. Thank you.
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] kdrag0n:
There is no "microG version" of the ROM. There are gapps (as in real Google Play Services and other Google apps) and non-gapps (as in nothing but basic AOSP and LineageOS apps) variants. microG is supported on the non-gapps variant, but it's up to you to install it from microg.org or F-Droid. microG is not included because some people don't want to use any form of gapps, and every additional variant I build slows down releases and increases bandwidth costs.

What exactly do you need for it to work? Are APNs enough or is there anything special? I know the stock Pixel ROM doesn't support it, but it'd help to get a reference point of what has it working.

[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] kdrag0n:
That error makes it look like you're low on disk space on your computer, so it can't unpack the images for flashing.

Scrolling screenshots are not currently supported.

No, flash either the gapps or non-gapps variant depending on what you want.

Magisk can be installed just like on the stock ROM.

Nice work on the rom. I was able to get it up and running on MacOS without any issues. Although seems to be security concerns for using it as daily driver.. according to GrapheneOS lead keeping bootloader unlocked is highly unsecure as it opens up attack vector:

Locking the bootloader is important as it enables full verified boot. It also prevents using fastboot to flash, format or erase partitions. Verified boot will detect modifications to any of the OS partitions (vbmeta, boot/dtbo, product, system, vendor) and it will prevent reading any modified / corrupted data. If changes are detected, error correction data is used to attempt to obtain the original data at which point it's verified again which makes verified boot robust to non-malicious corruption.

In the bootloader interface, set it to locked:

fastboot flashing lock

The command needs to be confirmed on the device since it needs to perform a factory reset.

Unlocking the bootloader again will perform a factory reset.

BTW have you thought about joining GrapheneOS as Pixel 5 maintainer? You'd be a great addition to team and project is lacking Pixel 5 dev.

Cheers

Is there a native call recording function? one that records the other side as well, not just your side.

If not, do you plan to add it in or would rather not bother because of country laws?

I still don't have my device yet so I can't install it yet to find out myself.

You can try extracting all the images from the zip and flash them separately?
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] rav101:
Have you tried the following:

1) Redownloading the zip file to ensure that it wasn't a bad download?

2) Ensure you're on the latest platform tools. I believe the most recent version was from earlier this month (ie November 2020)

3) Use Powershell if you're using windows?

I installed this ROM using Windows 10 and once I got passed getting confused between fastboot and bootloader (silly mistake on my part) everything worked smoothly. The fact that you're flashing other partitions correctly makes me wonder why it isn't working for you.

In terms of what I did. I downloaded the full zip, unzipped everything into its own folder, copied everything from that folder into my platform tools folder and then ran the script. Are you by any chance not extracting everything and copying it over to the platform tools folder?

Regards,

Ravi

Question about camera : can tiers app like FV5, Open Camera or Filmic access to the both camera (wide & ultra wide) ?
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] kdrag0n:
That's true, but I am not personally concerned about malicious images being flashed . As a developer, I will frequently flash unbootable and can't justify the risk of losing data.

It's possible that my ROM will support verified boot in the future so you will have the option to lock the bootloader, but I wouldn't count on that happening in the near future since my ROM is in its early days and the underlying infrastructure is immature; AVB support will require managing signing keys securely between the different machines I build ROMs on.

As much as I want to get involved, I don't have the time for it and my own ProtonAOSP project is what I'm most satisfied with using as a daily driver on my own device. GrapheneOS is great from a security and hardening perspective, but its performance and UI are lacking due to being nearly uncustomized AOSP with performance. I understand that some people will prioritize security, but personally, I don't want to make that trade-off.

It should work as long as the bootloader is unlockable. The only low-level variants are the Pixel 4a 5G, Pixel 4a 5g UW (Verizon), and Pixel 5; other hardware variations should not matter at the software level.

Call recording is not a feature I'm personally interested in, and as a small project with no other core team members at the moment, I don't have time to add every feature people want while keeping the same level of quality across the board. It's also illegal to record calls without mutual consent in my location, so I wouldn't be able to use it anyway.

Hi @OP,

I will ask a stupid question but how can you build a better battery saving ROM than the tons of google devs? No offense here, I'm just here to understand :)
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Yanagibashi:
I managed to flash it but whenever I boot it gets stuck on this animation of a flaming flask, any ideas?

Have you wiped data once you've flashed the ROM? You can do this in the recovery if you want.

[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] kdrag0n:
A lot of the battery drain on stock comes from how bloated it is from my experience — minimal in comparison to most other OEMs, but there is still bloat. AOSP does not have said bloat, and I've avoided adding too much Google bloat to help with battery life.
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Jackie Coyote:
Do you think it's possible to run this kernel on the stock factory image? Would I also have to flash the roms DTBO image?
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] kdrag0n:
This ROM does not include a custom kernel. It's exactly the same as stock, so there's no point in flashing it over stock.

ah okay, thank you brother.
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] kdrag0n:
To clear up some more confusion: while I have two projects for this device under the Proton name, the ProtonAOSP ROM does not include Proton Kernel. This is done to isolate variables in case something goes wrong and provide a clean state for flashing any kernel you wish on the ROM. The ProtonAOSP ROM and Proton Kernel operate as independent projects as of writing, though it is possible that they will be more tightly coupled in the future.

I would highly recommend installing Proton Kernel (also available for the Pixel 4a 5G) to get the most out of your phone. While it is not necessary by any means and this ROM will work with other kernels, Proton Kernel includes additional tweaks that maximize the performance potential of your device along with the tweaks in the ProtonAOSP ROM. More tightly coupled features between my ROM and kernel may be added in the future.

Additional features offered by Proton Kernel:
