Pixel Tablet

Hi.

I am writing to express support for Pixel tablets being regularly supported. They say the squeaky wheel gets oiled. I have two Pixel tablets to move to iode. Also a Pixel phone tonmive if call recording is supported. I’m just squeaking away. I love iode. If not thanks for what has been accomplished until now!

… try:

  1. iode-6.1-20250328-tangorpro.zip
    Source and install instructions on LineageOS Wiki

  2. /e/OS on a Google Pixel Tablet (tangorpro)

  3. lineage-23.0-*-tangorpro-signed + MinMicroG
    Source and install instructions on LineageOS Wiki

  4. Install: GrapheneOS has two officially supported installation methods.

Thanks. I already have Grapheneos on the tablets. I am trying to switch at least one to iode. I think I will wait for official support where I can install the same way I did in on a Pixel 7. Hopefully the Google Pixel tablet becomes officially supported. I do not want to make a mess of of it. Installing on my Pixel 7 was a breeze. Thanks

I got iode installed on a Pixel 4XL I was not able to install on a Pixel tablet. As far as I know I followed every step. Trying to get Grapheneos back on it now.

For others that come here late, we are helping out @iode65 on the Pixel Tablet thread, but it is my speculation that they did not have a stock ROM installed before installing iodé.

I tried to flash Google back on the tablet but it would not finish the install. And every retry failed. So I hooked up to the GOS web installer and it fixed the problem. I also tried to install straight from GOS. That had worked on the Pixel 4XL. So I do not plan on messing with it anymore. I have 2 phones with iode to experiment with. If iode in the future happens to support a pixel tablet I will do it. Thanks

Fair enough. I am curious what issues you faced when attempting to re-flash stock Android (assuming you used flash.android.com ?) but not a big deal. I do hope we can officially support it in the near term, but our capacity is a bit tight right now.

That would be correct. I have never used that tool before this but it got all the way to installing and failed. I clicked retry several times and then gave up and was just happy the GOS web installer got me out. Thanks!

I did just add OTA update support for my Unofficial Pixel Builds. So yes it is still unofficial but with that update the differences to an official iodé build are only that it doesn’t support bootloader re-locking, it is (of course) not signed with the iodé build keys (it uses the official LineageOS for microG keys), and it is a userdebug build meaning you can use adb root for full backup and restore (LineageOS defaults to userdebug whereas iodéOS defaults to the more restrictive user builds).
