At the time, they were some of the only Android phones with three years of guaranteed software updates, and ended their lives running Android 10. But the old Pixels just got a new lease on life, thanks to the LineageOS team.<\/p>\n<p>You can now run\u00a0LineageOS 18.1 on the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/wiki.lineageos.org\/devices\/sailfish\/\">original Pixel<\/a> or <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/wiki.lineageos.org\/devices\/marlin\/\">Pixel XL<\/a>. This operating system is based on Android 11 and introduces some new features to the old Pixel smartphones, including the Android 11 notification panel, new emoji, and an updated autofill system for the keyboard.<\/p>\n<p>Installing the OS on an old Pixel phone is a fairly easy task\u2014it\u2019s more time-consuming than anything. You just unlock your Pixel\u2019s bootloader, install a custom recovery tool (like the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/240047\/how-to-flash-twrp-recovery-on-your-android-phone\/\">TWRP recovery environment<\/a>), and load the LineageOS 18.1 ROM.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0LineageOS 18.1 installation works quite well on the original Pixel, though of course, it isn\u2019t totally bug-free. Also, it doesn\u2019t come with Google\u2019s suite of custom <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>s. If you want a more authentic Android experience, you\u2019ll need to flash a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/348545\/how-to-install-lineageos-on-android\/#autotoc_anchor_4\">GApps package<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Bear in mind that LineageOS works on <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/wiki.lineageos.org\/devices\/\">a wide range of devices<\/a>. You can see the full list of supported phones and tablets at the LineageOS Wiki.<\/p>\n<p>At the time of writing, the LineageOS team is working diligently on its <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lineageoslog.com\/19.0\">LineageOS 19 release<\/a>. This upcoming operating system is based on Android 12 and should bring exclusive features like Material You theming to older phones.<\/p>\n<p><small>Source: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.xda-developers.com\/lineageos-18-1-google-pixel-pixel-xl\/\">XDA Developers<\/a><\/small>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\nsetTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '1137093656460433');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
