🦊 OrangeFox R12.0 Beta
Devices: All Pixel 6-11
one AIO zip for all 25 devices.
One file fits everything. No more picking images per model. Pixel 10 Pro XL? YES. Pixel 6a? YES. Pixel Fold, Tablet, 9 Pro Fold? YES - all 25, the installer detects your model itself.
New: High-Speed ROM flash (~50s local instead of ~4 min, ~3 min over sideload instead of ~8:30, encrypted devices too), Live Slot Switch (ROM → GApps → Magisk in one go, no reboots), decryption on Android 17 / QPR2, Pixel 6/10/11 support, battery indicator. Both toggles are off by default - enable on the flash screen.
Beta status
Full changelog, install guide, downloads, MD5, bug-report template - everything is on the GitHub release page
Install: unpack for the PC script, flash as-is everywhere else. Bugs: run
flog.sh, attach the archive + model to your family chat.#SundayScreens #Week179
Weekly post for group members to share their home screens. This is a simple and fun way to discover new customisation apps and ideas.
Notes for Participation:
• Share an original screenshot or an original screenshot in a template.
• Give some basic details of the setup such as icon pack, wallpaper, widget, grid and launcher etc.
• Stock with Pixel launcher is fine to share. It doesn't have to be a custom third party launcher like Nova launcher or Niagara launcher.
• You don't necessarily need to have a Pixel device to participate, all are welcome to participate with this particular pos

• Support group
Changelog:
Device:

writes to missing Pixel scheduler files and from spamming logd.
- Emerald Hill zram: Overhaul the request queue, wait on interrupts instead of polling, use a real-time compression thread and a 4096-page hardware FIFO.
- Disable proactive compaction and watermark boosting.
- Enable lazy RCU and power efficient workqueues by default.
- Wi-Fi: Process packets in a real-time thread instead of a tasklet, and stop pinning it to CPU0.
- Wi-Fi: Cut the OOB wakelock timeout from 500ms to 100ms, and drop a wakelock timeout from the unlock path.
- Wi-Fi: Disable debug bloat, logging and packet logging.
- Modem: Stop tpmon from boosting CPU, INT and memory frequencies or setting CPU affinity, and stop pinning its workers to CPU2.
- Display: Stop busy waiting for CGC DMA, sleep idle while waiting, and don't count flip waits as CPU load.
- Display: Disable heavy DMA debug IRQs and stub out debug prints.
- Memory bus: Port Google's zuma fix so PM QoS updates no longer reset the frequency governor's sampling. Its sampling timer went from 136 to 62 runs a minute at idle.
- Memory bus: Keep the frequency governor thread on its timer's CPU. Wakeups that pulled in another idle CPU went from 67 of 68 to none.
- ACPM: Don't busy wait when sending data from process context.
- Align the softlockup and hardlockup watchdog timers, so all CPUs wake up for them together once every 4 seconds. That's 120 interrupts at 15 moments a minute instead of 183 at 75.
- Turn off the CAN bus statistics timer, which woke a CPU up 60 times a minute for a bus phones don't have.
- Make the KFENCE sampling timer deferrable, so it no longer wakes up idle CPUs.
- Always use LSE atomics and hardware CRC32.
- Avoid dynamic memory allocation in SELinux, BPF and prctl hot paths.
- Speed up mbcache entry creation and sync_file ioctls.
- Give the thermal IRQ worker maximum real-time priority.
- Reduce the freezer timeout to 1 second.
- Use BBR for TCP congestion control.
- Switch the IOVA allocator to the vendor hooks.
- Stop Google's metrics from hooking IRQs, context switches and perf events.
- Disable UFS command logging and stats collection, and Mali Pixel stats.
- Stop building test modules.
- Silence logspam in AOC audio, CS35L41, WM ADSP, haptics, camera (LWIS), PCIe, I2C, display, binder and Wi-Fi drivers. The idle kernel log went from 295 to 5 lines per 30 seconds.
- Fix memory leaks, out-of-bounds accesses and probe errors in Wi-Fi, battery, charger, haptics, touch, MFC, BCL, BTS, gvotable and regulator drivers.

• Clock: Show the timer and stopwatch as status bar chips, with metric-style notifications.
• Dialer: Show the in-call notification as a status bar chip, and only show the RTT button when it's enabled.
• Calendar: Update Etar to 1.0.55.
• Camera: Update CameraX to 1.7.0-alpha01 and media3 to 1.10.0.
• OpenDelta: Point downloads to the new server, and fix version mismatch handling.
• OpenDelta: More reliable pending reboot checks and tile service binding.
Device:
• Bringup to Android 17.
• Update blobs and firmware to CP3A.261005.002.A1.
• Merge the gs201 common tree into a single pantah device tree.
• Import common properties, cmdline and bootconfig updates from LineageOS.
• Use stock prebuilt power, thermal, USB and health HALs, as hardware/google/pixel went private.
• Build ANGLE from source instead of shipping prebuilt libs.
• Declare the 2026-03-01 dEQP level for GLES and Vulkan.
• Update the VINTF product matrix for Android 17 HAL versions.
• Always enable eSIM packages.
• Parts: Drop the Google Services Framework dependency.
• Bring back blurs during app launch.
• Show the actual ROM build number in About phone instead of the firmware's.
• Let mmd set up zram like stock:
- Compress with lz77eh on the Emerald Hill hardware engine instead of software lz4.
- Use 50% of RAM, and write idle pages back to storage with daily write limits.
• Fix the AIDL Dolby codec service failing to register.
• Actually drop twoshay, memtrack, dumpstate, dmd and pixelstats, which sixteen still shipped.
• Drop wifi_diagnostic and the remaining wifi debugging tools.
• Silence HWC denial logspam.
• Kernel:
- Huge thanks to Sultan Alsawaf (kerneltoast). Most of the scheduler, power and driver work here comes from his kernel.
- Merge android14-6.1-lts (6.1.177).
- Import google-modules and Pixel device trees from android16-qpr1.
- Update the Mali GPU driver to r54p3 for the Android 17 GPU blobs.
- Improve Mali DVFS utilization accuracy.
- Replace Google's vendor scheduler with CASS (Capacity Aware Superset Scheduler).
- Introduce a new CPU energy model measured with freqbench.
- schedutil: Ignore the rate limit when scaling up, and lower it to 2ms.
- schedutil: Use the frequency just below the target when the two are close.
- schedutil: Run frequency changes on the CPU that asks for them. Idle CPUs woken just to change frequency went from 45 to 0 per 30 seconds, and changes no longer wait up to 220us for a sleeping CPU to wake up.
- Reduce the PELT half-life from 32ms to 16ms, so load changes are picked up faster.
- Revert Google's PELT multiplier and TEO util-awareness.
- Disable TTWU_QUEUE and cache-hot buddy, and set migration cost to zero to make use of the shared L3.
- Don't migrate a lone task to a bigger CPU for no reason, or keep tasks on big CPUs for throughput.
- Compile out NUMA code and resolve scheduler features at compile time.
- Reject idle entry when a reschedule is already pending.
- Fix ADPF performance hints failing on UI threads. Hundreds of failed hint calls went to none.
- Stop the power HAL from retrying
