Non Google ROM

[Kayza]

Now that the Pixel 2 is at the end of its support life, I've been wondering about a non-Google ROM.

Is this even possible on this model?

What exactly do you mean by non-Google ROM?

Thanks!

What is your experience with Lineage? This is my work phone so I want to avoid blowing things up.

I haven't used it myself, but I hear good things about through the years .

Linage works good but don't expect any pixel exclusive features to be available.

Edit: and if your wanting non-google then don't flash gapps with it. But that will also mean no play store

Are you saying that if I use Lineage I'll lose access to the play store?

You'll have to flash Gapps for access to play store. Should probably check out the 2xl section on xda for everything you need to know about flashing the ROM and Gapps. They'll also have other ROM options like AICP.

Got it.

Thanks!
