The not so good things about stock Android #Blog
We already knew that all Android skins are based off the AOSP source, and because Google owned the platform, they could do whatever they wanted and release it in their way, just like how Chromium browsers do. Whenever they released it as the final product, they just do some minor tweaks to make it look good, repackage it and lastly release it to their users, which is what we considered as stock Android with Google's skin on top. Anyway, we will just call it stock Android in the rest of the text below.
In the last blog, we mentioned that Google Pixel has not been the choice for most people out there, and one part to blame is the stock Android it included out of the box. Not to say the experience isn't good, but it's lacking features people wanted. We know a phone can do a lot of things, and we don't want the system to run so badly that it couldn't do the task you wanted it to. Most OEMs are able to nail this part and at the same time, include more productivity features to ease the job.
Just use One UI as an example, you could open multiple apps at the same time, whereas in stock Android you could only do two at most with the split screen feature and some apps don't even support it. You could also view weather, call people, snap the screen right away with the edge panel, meanwhile stock Android got none of those. Chinese OEMs also did something over at this part but sadly most of them are only available for their Chinese firmware variants, which mostly benefit China mainland users. Anyway, some of them did try to bring them to the global users, and one of them includes seamless sync between desktop and mobile devices, so you could transfer files back and forth easily, without the need of a wired connection. When you check back at Google, there are no such things at all.
Writing until here, I am just amazed at how Google is so lucky to have a large cut of the browser market share, but looking back at Android, they lost. Yeah, this isn't something to compare as Google didn't decide to sell their devices worldwide, but despite that, the countries where they sell in didn't see any major growth, even though they have lowered their prices to somewhere at the upper mid-range segment. Clearly those aren't something the majority of the people had wanted because it's lacking something they wanted or some issues made them refuse to get one.
Besides productivity, many teens out there care about their photos & videos being good so they can share it out with their friends, and clearly there's only one option for that, iPhone. As more and more kids started to grow up, they started to acknowledge iPhone can take good photos & video anywhere while their Android phones don't, which lead them to persuade their parents to get one for them, and explained why the market share has been growing for Apple and not the others recently, despite their phones being expensive. And recalling back the productivity part, Apple also nailed it, and it's probably the best among all. Not going to lie but if prices weren't a barrier for me, I would have been using an iPhone since the early days.
Clearly what people wanted from a phone is they wanted their tasks to be done in the most efficient way possible, and stock Android obviously lost this part. Most people won't care about updates, the clean software or whatever, if it lacked the stuff they wanted, they won't choose it.

Regarding Which Operating System To Use #Blog
Manufacturers provide updates to your device so you get access to the latest feature & security improvement. Over time, the operating system gets heavy as it is bundled with more applications & services that are also growing in size, and the phone starts to run slower than before, as it starts to struggle. Hence on the other side, some people prefer to stay on older versions of the operating system to keep the fluidity going, but at the same time, applications slowly phased out support for old operating systems.
I don't know why I didn't just straight up think of writing this but instead wrote the last two blogs first. Anyway, I guess I found the actual reason which has been bothering me while I am setting up ROMs (but not really yet…). The operating system version, should we even bother about getting the latest Android version while the older ones are still working?
This isn't really tough to answer after all, for most people it's recommended to just update to the latest available operating system for the device of course. And regarding the first generation Pixel device, the last update for the device is Android 10 and the build is just buggy right off the surface, I had recommended users to just use Android Pie instead at this point. By doing this, you had then missed out on the dark theme feature.
I can't believe it but the Pixel is the first device I have ever questioned about downgrading due to the issues that have appeared on later Android versions, actually Pie is good to use but something is missing and annoyed me, so went all the way back to Oreo. Downgrading did make it run smoother and also provided a much more stable experience, but some applications that you used to use might not be supported.
Anyway, in my opinion, if you are daily driving the device, you should opt for the latest stable operating system available, for the Pixel case that will be Android Pie. As a secondary device, depends on you, if you use it frequently then a later version of the operating system is preferrable, otherwise you may go for the older one if you want the device to run better. So yeah, if you wanted to downgrade, then you had to figure out how to unlock the bootloader of the device, otherwise you are just stuck on the later version of the operating system forever.

My Fear On Gadgets #Blog
Ever since my computer's hardware disk broke, I am just afraid of electronic gadgets these days. I am afraid all this stuff decided to break one day and all the data vanished in just one snap. And this leaves me with a permanent fear that everything on your device is just temporary. And yeah, this is yet another blog post related to my thoughts while setting up a ROM. When you wanted to flash a new ROM, you had to format your device and you had to backup everything to somewhere else, most of the time that had to be a computer.
Portable gadgets like smartphones ease many people's lives, but more and more people are getting addicted as they spend more time using them, especially teens. It used to be me but no longer as I find this stuff to be boring now, and I just wanted to have a normal life without too much digital stuff surrounding my life.
I still didn't understand why but I lost interest in digital stuff, especially files that are just store locally on the device. Since the incident, I split my data across multiple devices so if one breaks, I won't lose everything at least. The only reason I had to use electronic gadgets was to access the Internet world. Communicating with friends, watching videos, and writing such a blog post won't be possible without it, but to get access to all of these, an electronic gadget is a must.
I have no other choice but to continue use one, and billions of other people are also forced to learn using it even though they might not be interested. On my phone, I just uninstalled those which I felt were extraordinary, and currently I am left with less than 30 user applications which is a new record for me. People wanted more internal storage to store more files and install applications whereas I am just trying to use as least as possible.
I guess this is the actual reason why I had those weird thoughts on smartphones, which also made me publish a few more blog posts on it, and finally lead the storyline till here. This also made me want to depend less and less on it, and probably one day get out of it, but it's just unlikely at this moment. We will see how the future progresses anyway. I guess I am probably the only one to have this in my mind, but I would be happy to hear your thoughts on this and whether something similar happened on your side.

Stock Android On All Devices #Blog
In the custom ROM communities, we just see people complaining about other OEMs having heavy modifications to the Android operating system and making it more demanding to run on devices with weak specifications, and yeah, that's a truth with smartphones these days. More trackers, more bloatwares, more features, you name it, and not to mention the operating system and applications get heavier, but then what if every Android OEM just decided to release their phone with the stock Android looks?
You might think this is much more unified to represent the Android operating system, which I will agree with, and people won't get confused by it. The only thing they could advertise would be on the hardware itself, software wise they would just repeat whatever Google has made off the shelf, which will hardly attract users I had said. I had to say it's something good that OEMs decided to innovate instead of letting it be just stock Android, with skins even older versions of Android looks modern, though that now hardly happens with devices these days.
Android would have been a failure if every OEM decided to release their builds in its original form. In fact, OEMs that release phones with stock Android included didn't see any major success in any countries, all sales are dominated by other manufacturers with other skins on top. If you have been reading the blog posts here, then you would know that people wanted a working phone which gets the job done in the most efficient way possible, which stock Android lacks to provide. Apple is actually doing a great job at this part but other OEMs came up with appealing solutions and making it available for a lower price, which attract users to use their products, and that's how Android has been dominating the smartphone market.
Actually Android One would be a prime example that people don't want stock Android even though they are clean in design, Android Go still manages to survive as low-income countries rely on that, but other than that stock Android is pretty much still at a stage where it doesn't provide enough values for the market. If people had eagerly wanted it, many would have started to buy it from overseas even though it isn't available in their countries officially.
There are still a lot of stuff to be improved on stock Android before it becomes something the whole world starts to like. They had to specifically aim at what the people want, not what they want. Customisations won't attract many, but breaking features which increase productivity will for example. Apple got seamless integrations across devices, Samsung have DeX, Chinese OEMs have their own solution for linking device to computer software, and meanwhile Google thinks that everyone will use their products and because it's accessible from the web, they won't do anything to improve the experience for stuff that aren't accessible from the web. Google has to learn their lesson if they want stock Android to be a success.
I almost struggle to write one such blog post after being affected by the custom ROM communities. Stock Android is good, it's lightweight, clean and simple to use, but at the same time lacking productivity features which people care about, so multiple options exist in the market is not a bad sign, and it's Android skins from other manufacturers which help bring in the large portion of market share to the Android operating system.

Blog inspirations #Blog
This is a Pixel channel, and of course, we try to keep on topic with all of the posts on this channel. To be honest, I never thought of writing this much but because the Pixel on my side decided to cause more issues over time, I guess I will just share it out and see if anyone out there got into similar issues. Too bad the community is constantly shrinking over time and obviously, not everyone with a first generation Pixel acknowledged the channel’s existence or probably decided to follow. Originally when I first started to write, the scheduled post was supposed to stop by late April but later got extended as I write more, now all the way till today.
One flexible thing about blog posts is that opinions never get outdated, and you could write something early and post it later one day, it will still feel like a fresh new post by the author. Before even writing all this stuff, in the past while the Pixel was still having the bootloader being locked and bad battery life, I just rant a lot about it in my mind, and even have those posted in the group chat. Definitely not something many would care about but many of these opinions have been there for quite some time, and I could rewrite them into detailed blog posts but not feeling like doing so as the hype had faded over time.
Nothing is perfect, I can understand this clearly. I have been using both Redmi and Pixel for the past few years, and Redmi is known for its buggy stock software which I totally agree with, but the good thing is modifying the software is free of charge, so you can improve the experience by doing so. Meanwhile, the Google Pixel, is already famously known for the hardware issues, especially camera failure on older generations models, and repairing the hardware costs money, and it’s also not guaranteed that you will not see any issues in the future.
Imagine having a phone that has a faulty camera which just randomly stops working at the moment when you want to capture some memories, and that had happened to me a few months ago while I was still using the Pixel. Redmi might not be that great when it comes to the camera department, at least it still gets to capture something, better than nothing. This is also something I had mentioned in the blog where I was talking about the retirement of my Pixel device due to freezing issues.
I don’t know if I should thank the Pixel for being part of the journey or not, but it led to this channel creation, the larger community, all these opinions and also changed the way I think about smartphones, which was first discussed back in the first blog post. I am actually impressed with those people who managed to write multiple paragraphs and published it as one blog post, while I try to keep it short over here so you guys could briefly read through my texts. Anyway if you have been quietly reading all of these blogs, I appreciate you taking out one minute or two to give it a read every week, though I get nothing but at least I am writing to someone out there. Thanks for the support anyway.

1st Generation #Blog
Not a blog on my opinions but just a reminder to everyone here. A lot had probably forgotten about it but first generation products are usually valuable in the future, just like how the first iPhone did right now. Be proud as you own one of the most recognisable and valuable products in the coming years.
Anyway what I wanted to point out is that you guys should keep the device with you if you still have it, regardless whether it's functional or not. This is not an ordinary device, but it marked the starting point of the Pixel device. The launch of Google Assistant, Seamless Updates, Project Treble, unlimited backup in Google Photos and so much more, all started with the device called Google Pixel.
The Snapdragon 821 is just making the device look worse at this point, as it basically could turn the device into a portable stove, heater. Only if it could launch a year later, but then we have to face camera issues. Time has passed and that's what we got, hope Google could make their devices last-long further in the coming future.
Nothing really much to say here, and I know this is boring to repeat, but if anyone wants to write and publish a blog post, you are welcome to do so. Just tell us you wanted to write and we will help you post it onto the channel.
*Originally scheduled to be send at last week, but Telegram was down for a moment at that time probably, just a wild guess.
Not a blog on my opinions but just a reminder to everyone here. A lot had probably forgotten about it but first generation products are usually valuable in the future, just like how the first iPhone did right now. Be proud as you own one of the most recognisable and valuable products in the coming years.
Anyway what I wanted to point out is that you guys should keep the device with you if you still have it, regardless whether it's functional or not. This is not an ordinary device, but it marked the starting point of the Pixel device. The launch of Google Assistant, Seamless Updates, Project Treble, unlimited backup in Google Photos and so much more, all started with the device called Google Pixel.
The Snapdragon 821 is just making the device look worse at this point, as it basically could turn the device into a portable stove, heater. Only if it could launch a year later, but then we have to face camera issues. Time has passed and that's what we got, hope Google could make their devices last-long further in the coming future.

Adios... for now #Blog
Yeah, this post is released once I expected my weekly post to break. No one else decided to write any blogs for the channel, I lacked good ideas to attract readers, lacked the time to maintain communities, and many more. It's probably troublesome or irrelevant but this community meant a lot to me, which is why I tried all this stuff.
I really wanted to retain this place as a Pixel 1 community, and hope it could be active, but as Android 12 rolled in and Pixel 1 was only receiving Android 10 & 11 builds back in those days, more and more people just decided to quit as they might have already sold or the device itself bricked or cause issues. I am also one of the victims if you have been checking out my blog posts.
I tried posting regularly to keep it active, but this didn't help at all, which I kind of expected, but never try never know though. Nice to know thar someone posted a XDA thread which stated it's an Android 13 ROM for Pixel XL, it did boot and work for people out there, still the community is just kind of half dead.
There might not be many posts over here from now on, but I will try to write blogs that are relevant to Google Pixel in the future if I feel like doing so, or probably some updates regarding our communities. For the meantime, thanks for reading if you did. Give a follow to @PixelHubUpdates if you haven't, we are alive over there.

Updated: 15/8/2023
▪️Download [687MB]
▪️XDA
Changelog:
• Updated with the latest LineageOS changes including the August security update
• The infrequent random reboots appear to be fixed. This is unrelated to the reboots some experience when activating wifi. I've never had problems with wifi and have no idea what the issue is.
Known issues:
• SElinux is permissive
• Its likely you'll have to reboot after installation for VoLTE to work
