    How to get the Pixel Experience on your phone! (With unlocked bootloader).

    Posted: 30 Jan 2022 11:35 PM PST

    If you want to get that Pixel Experience, but you don't have Pixel in your country which is most likely yes unless you live in a country where a Pixel I sold which are like 9 or 10, or you don't want to spend lots of money on Pixel, or just your are with your phone hardware but want that Pixel software instead of your device's heavy skin, then this guide is for you!

    Step 1: Install a Pixel Experience ROM, or a Pixel Port. If your device does not have a Pixel based ROM, or a Pixel Port, then your only option is installing a GSI (Generic System Image), I personally recommend phh Pixel Experience GSI : https://github.com/ponces/treble_build_pe/releases it has a lot of patches that make it very usable for most treble supported devices, or if that did not work use a ported SGSI like Nippon GSI: https://sourceforge.net/projects/nippongsi/ although it may not be as good the phh one but it may work for you if the first did not work.

    Step 2: Root with Magisk, you may not want to root to your device due to banking and other apps detecting root but you can get around this using Magisk Hide or DenyList on new Magisk, and pass safety net: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/magisk-module-universal-safetynet-fix-1-1-0.4217823/ rooting is nessecary here because we will enable more feature not in the ROM.

    Step 3: Spoof your device to a Pixel, If your device is already spoofed to a Pixel (preferably Pixel 5 or 6) then skip this step, to check that go to about phone in settings and see the model under device details if it is Pixel 6/6 Pro then your are good to go, if not install this small Magisk Module called "Pixel Props" and installed the Pixel 6 Pro "raven" variant and make sure to install the release that is the same as your security patch: https://github.com/Pixel-Props/raven after installing the module and reboot you will see your device model is Pixel 6 Pro in about phone.

    Step 4: Install Pixelify Magisk Module: https://github.com/Kingsman44/Pixelify this will enable lots of Pixel Exclusives see the GitHub page to know about them, trust me they are many, when installing install the release called you can select what you want to be added using your volume keys during the module installation, you don't need to Spoof your device using this module since we already did that.

    Step 5: Install GCAM port, we need a Google Camera because most ROKs come with a very generic camera that is very basic, so we need GCAM, search for your device's best GCAM or asks on your device's Telegram group for GCAM that works best with your device, if you could not find one go to https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/ and test and try to find the best one for your device, personally I recommend trying ones by BSG.

    Step 6 (optional): Install Pixel live wallpapers from all Pixel devices, Pixel (1-5a): https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/port-app-6-0-google-pixel-2-3-4-a-5-live-wallpapers-27-10-2020.3481640/ Pixel 6: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/pixel-6-6-pro-live-wallpapers-android-11.4347947/

    I hope you find this guide useful, be sure tell me if there is anything more you can do to get even a better Pixel Experience, also be sure to let me know if you have any questions.

    Enjoy your new software!
