Fairphone Open OS - Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers

Has anyone looked into building this for the Pixel 3XL? I've tried my hand at building stuff but it never works.

This is Android Lollipop. Not even worth the time IMO to build such a dated version of Android

ROM question for long time One Plus owners?

I'm really tempted to buy the 5t since returning my pixel 2 xl due to screen issues. Coming from a Nexus 6, I really enjoy the availability of some of the most current Android versions through community built ROMs even when the version of Android was never made available for the phone (i.e. Oreo 8.1 on Nexus 6). Can some of the long time One Plus users comment on the availability of the newest Android versions for One Plus phones even if it requires installing community built ROMs? How soon after the release of the Android version do you generally see ROMs based on those versions available for One Plus phones?

Check Ground Zero ROMs, I'm running Validus based on Oreo 8.0 on my OP5 and it's really awesome with pure Android feeling. I read @martinusbe the head Dev will be getting the OP5T.

The community support is great. There are Oreo builds for even OnePlus One (Released in 2014).

Pixel 5 Support

I’m in the market for a new phone and would like to use LineageOS or possibly GrapheneOS and I like the security of the Pixel 3+ line. I need the fingerprint reader, so Pixel 4 line isn’t really an option, so I’m considering Pixel 3/3a XL or the 5. What I’m wondering is whether any developers are gearing up to support Pixel 5 LineageOS and what opinions are on the likely timeframe for that given the recent flood of support for the Pixel line. Are we talking weeks, months, or a year before it’s realistic to run LineageOS reliably on the Pixel 5? What’s been the timeframe for other new phones in the past?

Pixel 5 ships with android 11. So there will be no official lineageOS as long as 18.x isn't officially released. Maybe next year.

Thanks! Does that mean it would be impossible for LineageOS 17.1 (Android 10 based) to work on a Pixel 5 or that it’s unlikely that anyone would bother wasting their time on a short lived endeavor?

Opinions on PixelExperience ROM for Pixel 2XL

Hi,
There's been a hype out there for Pixel Experience ROMs that's being developed for non-Pixel devices. Today my brother was saying about Pixel Experience being developed for Pixel 2 XL devices (reference).
It's still in beta and no stable releases yet. (stable seems to be planned for March). Have anyone here tried Pixel Experience ROM for Pixel 2 XL yet? If yes, what's added additionally apart from the stock ROM and is it really worth moving to Pixel Experience from stock, if stable version of Pixel Experience is released?
Thanks,
Gokul.

Android 14 DP/Beta (UpsideDownCake) port for Pixel 3 XL?

Is it possible for the developer preview/beta version of Android 14 to be ported onto Pixel 3 XL from a more recent Pixel device (e.g. Pixel 7 or Pixel 6 or Pixel 5)? It would be greatly appreciated

I believe the Pixel 3 should be capable of running a Generic System Image, so it would be unnecessary to port the firmware. It doesn't look like a GSI is available for 14DP yet but I imagine you could potentially use the system.img out of the update package for a more recent Pixel.
See this thread.
