ProtonAOSP is a Pixel ROM that focuses on the beautiful parts of AOSP. It adds GApps or allows for microG, but either way, Proton tends to focus on feel more than anything else.

That said, microG installation is not included by default, so it's a weird mix of "for Pixels only" and "imitating Pixels" - I don't see a great amount of use for it. That said, it does what it says on the tin. It's fast and pretty!

What is ProtonAOSP?

ProtonAOSP is a minimal Android icon Android fork (custom ROM) focused on UI/UX and performance, with a touch of privacy.

Features?

ProtonAOSP offers many improvements on the stock Android experience:

  • Better performance
  • Clean UI design
  • Improved memory management
  • Under-the-hood tweaks
  • Privacy and security
  • Convenience
  • Customization
  • Default experience

It also keeps what you’re used to on stock:

  • SafetyNet passing out-of-the-box without root
  • Some Pixel-exclusive features

Better performance?

ProtonAOSP is more smooth (i.e. less jank) and responds faster than stock. The performance improvements can be attributed to:

  • Vulkan UI rendering
  • Reduced APEX overhead
  • Deep, low-level system optimizations throughout the system
  • Custom ripple animation tuned for responsiveness

The performance improvements have been empirically proven on a Pixel 5:

  • Up to 18% faster app/menu/screen opening
  • 16% faster screenshot capturing
  • Up to 4x faster low-level memory management
  • Faster image loading and saving (JPEG and PNG)

Privacy and security?

ProtonAOSP is not specifically dedicated to improving privacy or security, but it still has some features to help keep your data private:

  • Support for microG icon microG and sandboxed Google Play Services icon Google Play Services
  • Support for bootloader re-locking with verified boot
  • Secure quick settings
  • Internet and sensor permission control
  • 7-day usage history for all permissions in privacy dashboard
  • Modern privacy indicators for location, camera, and microphone
  • Camera and microphone privacy toggles
  • Quick log out from secondary users
  • Minor hardening from GrapheneOS icon GrapheneOS
