The devices from the Silicon Valley giant are known for their exceptional camera quality, fastest OS updates, and clean stock usage experience. However, there is one aspect of these devices that isn&#8217;t usually talked about much- these devices are among the most active players in custom development.<\/p>\n<p>One shouldn&#8217;t look any further to cement this statement than by checking out the newest addition to the Pixel family. While it has only been a few days since its launch, it has already been blessed with perhaps the most well know custom ROMs ever to grace this field. The ever-so-popular LineageOS has just made its way over to the Pixel 7A and in this guide, we will show you how to install it right away.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_62
