PixelExperience (aka Pixel Experience, PE[3]) is a discontinued open-sourced custom ROM, or Android distribution, based on the stock Android AOSP (Android Open Source Project) that aimed to provide a bloat-free, stock-android, Pixel-like experience to a wide range of Android devices. The project, initiated by a community of developers in 2017,[6][3] focused on delivering a clean, minimalistic, and visually appealing user interface reminiscent of Google's Pixel devices. Pixel Experience was designed to be as close to stock Android as possible, with a focus on reliability, security, stability, performance, battery life, and useful customizations.[3][6][7][8]
On April 10, 2024, Pixel Experience ROM development officially stopped, according to the founder José Henrique. While older versions remain available, the project is no longer actively maintained.[9]
