We have heard of Google Pixel 5 several times, but most of the time bad. Before, a problem with the body allowed you to see a gap between it and the display (but it was not a problem for Google, rather a hallmark); then many users have complained of a abnormal battery drain that plagued the device. In short, although the company's goal was to create the definitive smartphone (for this year), we are afraid that it has not succeeded. But there is no need to despair because where official support fails, the world of modding. In record time here comes the first ever custom ROM for the new smartphone from Google. Proton AOSP is the name and promises almost better performances than the standard ones. Let's see the details.
ProtonAOSP is the first ever custom ROM for Google Pixel 5: special attention to battery life but also to performance
kdrag0n is the member of XDA Senior who got their hands on developing this custom ROM for Google Pixel 5. This ROM reportedly appears to be stable for most features albeit based on AOSP 11. All in all it is worth trying as it is particularly privacy conscious, which the developer has managed to improve over the stock. The additional goodies are geared towards stability and performance, so it's perfect for those who want take advantage of all the features it offers Pixel5, but with a little more customization.
Below the features of ProtonAOSP:
- better performance and longer battery life;
- stock-based but much more refined user interface;
- improved screenshot mode;
- privacy: MicroG support, quick setting security, Internet and sensor permissions, camera and microphone indicators;
- usable default apps: watch, calculator, contacts, messaging, phone app from LineageOS with custom UI changes;
- expanded advanced settings for geek users;
- Vulkan UI rendering, reduced APEX overhead, optimized memory lock, more responsive animations;
The moles: some features exclusive to Google devices are missing and WiFi calls are not usable. If you are interested in installing this promising new ROM, there we leave the link to the thread. We remind you to proceed with a full backup before proceeding.
