The Pixel 6 series ushered in the first third-party custom ROM today – ProtonAOSP, but it is currently only open to early-access supporters. It should be noted that custom ROMs are not suitable for everyone. Most owners of the Pixel 6 series should use the native Android 12 stable version.
But some users hope to get a different experience by customizing the ROM. Some developers have spent nearly a month releasing custom ROMs for Google’s latest phones, and ProtonAOSP is the first to provide support for new phones.
Google’s latest flagship Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro are equipped with the company’s new Tensor chip, which may cause obstacles to the development of custom ROMs. However, it did not cause any problems with the development of the ProtonAOSP custom ROM for the Pixel 6 series. If you are not familiar with this custom ROM, ProtonAOSP strengthens privacy control and improves performance. In addition, it also provides a clean experience.
