Thanks for bringing this masterpiece to us.

woo i smell something new to try out! love trying builds like these!

So is this modified stock? Asking because stock has some pixel excelusive features that roms like LOS dont have. Like a different less feature filled camera apk no option for the charging optimization and I believe the better voice translation is also only available on stock.
Do we get all the pixel exclusive stock goodness on your rom?

The main ones I KNOW are missing in LOS are additional camera options... cant give you specifics as I am on LOS atm, and there is no option for adaptive charging, adaptive sound and one other adaptive something, i think adaptive battery.
Also not sure if we lose the "better voice translation"

Ok, newb question I guess.... Its been a couple years since i've been actively modding any of my phones and I'm a little fuzzy on some details. Such as:
Can I relock bootloader following flashing this ROM?
What about root, do I need to root first before I can flash ROM or just unlock BL? &/Or do I need to root after flashing ROM, with Magisk, or is it already installed?
Thank you so much!

---

You can just unlock the bootloader to flash a custom ROM
you can root it if you want, just reboot to recovery and sideload the magisk.zip after you flash the ROM you want them direct install in the Magisk Manager app. there's not too much point in root unless you want LSposed (Xposed) or additional mods not provided by the ROM.
I'm not sure if you can relock the bootloader on this ROM, I know you can on Graphene OS and ProtonAOSP but idk if it's available on all ROM's.

Sweet, thank you! So no custom recovery needed either?
That was actually the very thing I was wondering after contemplating root (whether or not it is necessary and for what I may need it) So if not doing additional mods theres no reason to really have it then? Seems like it used to much more often be the case that root was required. It also makes it easier for bad actors to manipulate your phone, right...
Thanks again! One last thing... Does Android pay work with this ROM? (seems like it also used to be that custom roms broke various functions of the phone more often....)

Idk about this ROM specifically, I would test it out for sure. It worked out of the box with Evolution X, so maybe!
Depends on the ROM... Some will have you flash all fastboot images, others will have you flash a few fastboot images that contain the recovery and a few others and then have you reboot to recovery and ADB sideload it.

No I haven't added bootloader locking support yet . You have to separately flash magisk.

Installation...
To install this rom am I first installing vendor-boot.img from fastboot and then sideloading?
Thank you!

Flash boot, vendor_boot and dtbo from fastboot. Then fastboot -w and go to recovery and sideload the rom

Awesome! Thank you so much!

oop, one more thing, I flashed .img files and booted to recovery. I'm in zephyrus recovery however.... still sideload like usual, or apply update?

What features does this ROM include and if anyone has tested this ROM how is battery life? I'm trying to find a good ROM that has Pixel features, Face Unlock, and good battery life if possible. EvolutionX has come the closest, but battery life is downright awful on it.

Pixel features are there, face unlock too. Battery life is subjective so can't tell. It's pretty good here tho.
