If you were hoping for some additional software flexibility on Google’s new Pixel Tablet, you’re in luck as LineageOS support has just been added.

Available now through the official LineageOS website, you can now download and install the custom ROM on the Google Pixel Tablet. The “tangorpro” builds are based on LineageOS 20 and bring support for added customization and extra features, such as a PIN unlock that changes the order of the numbers on each unlock.

I really want an android tablet with lineageos support for watching movies and browsing the web. But I have been spoiled by my OLED TV so I think LCD just won’t cut it. Also, I would ideally want a 120hz display so that movies can be played back without 3:2 pulldown. I don’t believe such a device exists ATM?

You don’t need 120 Hz. I also like the OLED on my Samsung Lineage OS tablet.

And it does judder free 24 fps playback on a 60hz screen?

Edit: also, what model is it? The Galaxy Tab S5e?

I have an S5e running lineage, happy to test anything. I can tell you now though that HDR playback is not possible. It’ll just tonemap to SDR, and not particularly well.

How Google-free can you make GrapheneOS? Like Lineage OS sans gapps? Better?

Completly, if you don’t want google you don’t install it, play store/play service/service framework are installable like regular apps. If you later find something that you need it for e.g. Netflix or banking app, you can make a new profile as to not contaminate your google free profile, even though its sandboxed.

I was wondering how many connections to Google servers GOS is making, and be it just for GPS ephemerides. You can configure DNS freely, too?
