Pixel Experience

Official devices application

Devices repository: https://github.com/PixelExperience-Devices

Before open a pull request to add your device into our list of official devices, you should know a few simple things:

1. Hosting

Our files are hosted on Android File Host, this means you must have a developer account to host the builds of your device.

The folder must be in hidden mode, so our download portal can manage statistics correctly.

2. Changelog

For each new version, you need to upload the changelog to this repository in the device specific folder.

The file name must be in this format: yyyyMMdd-Hm.txt

3. Over-the-air (OTA) updates

Our system is automatic, you should not worry about updating some script, just upload the new build to the Android File Host device folder and send a pull request with the changelog in this repository.

Note: New builds can take up to 30 minutes to appear on the site and in the OTA application.
