There is no way Google will let this live right?

Or it's an uphill battle (which is still being fought relatively well imho), like with GrapheneOS.

Project has been around for a while, so it's got some resiliency built in.

Such projects existed for long time, I think Pixel Experience ROM was first.

It sounds like they include all the Google Spyware anyways, so I doubt they have a problem with that...

So I guess the point of this is to provide a Pixel-like experience to non-Pixel phones? It's a cool idea but I think I'll personally stick with GrapheneOS for my next phone.

It's always surprising how many people who like to tinker with their devices also deliberately want to tie themselves more into the Google ecosystem. I would've guessed that the Venn diagram of these two types of people wouldn't have much overlap, but the ROM's popularity kind of speaks for itself.

Tbf I (degoogled Graphene/ex-LOS user for more than a decade) can definitely see why you would rather have the mostly-AOSP-native Pixel experience on your smartphones than completely enshittified UIs that Samsung or Huawei provide...

Practically nothing useful on the About page. Can anyone chime in what this is exactly?

one of the devs here, and yeah fair, the about page says nothing. it's a custom rom that makes non-pixel phones run like a pixel: aosp + gapps + the pixel exclusive features
put simpler, this replaces the stock android your manufacturer ships
