If you were hoping for some additional software flexibility on Google’s new Pixel Tablet, you’re in luck as LineageOS support has just been added.
Available now through the official LineageOS website, you can now download and install the custom ROM on the Google Pixel Tablet. The “tangorpro” builds are based on LineageOS 20 and bring support for added customization and extra features, such as a PIN unlock that changes the order of the numbers on each unlock.
tangorpro is also supported by grapheneOS
CalyxOS released a built too, seems like it as easy to flash like Pixels which is actually refreshing for Android Tablets
actually it got a beta build under 12 hrs of its release, that’s actually impressive!
How Google-free can you make GrapheneOS? Like Lineage OS sans gapps? Better?
Completly, if you don’t want google you don’t install it, play store/play service/service framework are installable like regular apps. If you later find something that you need it for e.g. Netflix or banking app, you can make a new profile as to not contaminate your google free profile, even though its sandboxed.
I was wondering how many connections to Google servers GOS is making, and be it just for GPS ephemerides. You can configure DNS freely, too?

“By default, GrapheneOS only makes remote connections to GrapheneOS services and the network provided DNS resolvers”
Thanks. What are the services, where are they hosted, and which of them are self-hostable?

On self-hosting: You’d have to modify the source code and then build the OS yourself(which a lot of people do).

Thanks, that’s good to know.

I was here to say ‘wake me when it’s gOS’. Good to know…
