What os are your running on your pixel?
The stock one? ๐ญ Don't roast me pleassseee, I know....
If your interested in a more private OS for your phone - I did some searching and unfortunately GrapheneOS won't support the 3a anymore, and the DivestOS is broken for the 3a.
If your feeling up to it, I would recommend either CalyxOS or LineageOS:
CalyxOS: https://calyxos.org/install/devices/sargo/
LineageOS: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/sargo/install
Thanks! I was planning on trying LineageOS once the stock OS got too outdated to keep using, but only because it was the one I knew about. Any pros or cons between Calyx and Lineage?
I would personally Install Calyx - you can relock the bootloader, the install is meant to be easy and the community is supposedly very friendly - you should be able to troubleshoot without issue.
(I haven't personally used it so YMMV)
