Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro Gets First Custom ProtonAOSP ROM But It Is Only Limited to Early Access Supporters Right Now

Take note that custom ROMs are not for everyone and most of the Pixel 6 series owners would be sticking with the stock stable build of Android 12. However, some users would be excited to slap a custom ROM on their device. It has taken almost a month for developers to release a custom ROM for Google's latest handsets and ProtonAOSP is the first one to come with support for the new handsets.

Google's latest flagship Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro comes with the company's brand-new Tensor chip that might pose hurdles for the development of the custom ROM. However, it did not create any issues for the development of the ProtonAOSP custom RON for the Pixel 6 series. If you are not familiar with the custom ROM, ProtonAOSP enhances privacy controls and also enhances performance. Moreover, it offers a clean experience.
