What's new in this build
------------------------
- Desktop mode toggle: Settings > System > Desktop mode. Switch between desktop-style
windowing and the standard tablet layout, applied live with no reboot.
Your choice persists across restarts.
- OTA updates enabled: this build includes the Updater app, connected to this
project's own update feed. Future releases install from
Settings > System > System update. (First install must still be manual.)
- September 2026 security patch (2026-09-01).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
QUICK START (recovery method, recommended)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Unlock the bootloader. This wipes your data.
2. Flash recovery to both slots:
fastboot flash recovery_a recovery.img
fastboot flash recovery_b recovery.img
3. Disable AVB verification (both slots):
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta_a vbmeta.img
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta_b vbmeta.img
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta_system_a vbmeta_system.img
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta_system_b vbmeta_system.img
4. Boot to recovery:
fastboot reboot recovery
5. In recovery: Factory reset -> Format data / factory reset
6. In recovery: Apply update -> Apply from ADB, then:
adb sideload PixelOS_liuqin-17.0-20261006-1622.zip
7. Reboot to system. First boot takes several minutes (dexopt + GMS init).
Alternative: flash the individual images in images/ with fastboot
(boot, vendor_boot, dtbo, recovery, system, system_ext, product, vendor,
vendor_dlkm, odm, vbmeta, vbmeta_system).
Already on this ROM? You can update without wiping: sideload the zip in
recovery, or use Settings > System > System update (works from this build
onward).

KNOWN NOTES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- OTA updates: future builds arrive through the Updater. Keep Magisk root by
re-patching after each update (Magisk > Install > patch to inactive slot),
or re-flash extras/magisk-boot.img after updating.
- The stylus must be off the charging dock to connect. Docked = input disabled
by design.
- No MIUI camera features; AOSP camera included, GCam ports work.
- MIUI-specific apps (MIUI Notes, etc.) do not run outside MIUI.
- This is a beta: back up everything, and report issues in the XDA thread.
