Read the entire OP! Be respectful to each other and don't ask for ETAs, it's considered as being rude!
Fluid is an aftermarket Android custom ROM distribution based on AOSP, focused on bringing a better UI/UX to Android with a fluid experience coupled with themes and customisations.
#FeelsFluid
Fluid doesn't aim at providing all the customisation available on the planet. We are focused on a cleaner, more Material design approach, with a few twists ;) that assured, we do have a dedicated theme engine with cool stuff getting added every new update. So sit back and enjoy Fluid on your device!
Code:
- Adaptive Playback
- Included GApps
- Double tap power button for Camera
- FOD Animation
- Redesigned Themes page
- Statusbar/QS/Lockscreen Customisation
Several system themes, icon shapes and fonts to choose from
And most importantly:
- A redefined UI

I was wondering if there anyway I could get the a copy of the boot image? Since magisk stop supporting patching the old way (doesn't work on this rom).
Thank you

Seems like the kernel is just too big atm. I used payload_dumper to extract the boot.img to patch it but then can't flash it because its larger than the boot partition.

Hello, I do not know is this proper place to publish my findings or not. Sorry in advance.
My Pixel XL I use due unlimited in original quality photo archive by Google (actually I downgraded second at it's time to 1st gen too).
This is why I use 1st gen from Pixels. My phone is Magisk rooted (23.0) and TWRPed from original website the last one zip.
I installed from TWRP options by push the ROM to the /sdcard. All seems work properly, including VOIP SIP client and LTE.
But, I found that I can not remove from main screen through any opts including Home settings the Google search bar (At A Glance), despite I have root. Programmers did not put any opt to remove it.
I can not uninstall system apps , including not so much good Camera app,in my view not good.
I did not find any opts to uninstall system apps that they put (it's not Google apps, Camera for instance not from Google. I installed Google Camera from Play store.
I am not developer, programmer, coder, hacker and so on; just, regular, user. that found out that Android 10 in my Pixel XL (not Verizon) work much slower than promised by Google developers.
By the way I sent feedback from my Google account about slowness, but you as real programmers, could answer me, is it viable option or there is another one?
And is there way to remove any app I want , even, Google's one, from script or free app?

Custom ROMs usually don't let you uninstall system apps. If you have magisk (you said you do) you can use De-Bloater (https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.sunilpaulmathew.debloater/) it uses magisk to systemlessly remove system apps (and they can be recovered after).
The launcher thing is just dependant on what amount of customizablity Fluid devs implemented, probably not much in the launcher, you can always download custom launchers like Launchair or Rootless Launcher.

---

Thank you, I will try t install as De-Bloater as Launchair (you mean a launcher?).

---

I've tried. Both launchers , sorry, but garbage from user view (the same issue like no able to remove Google search bar now from Home sreen, and they have other issues in terms of apps use).
When installed de-bloater it said no Magisk. It means some of launchers deinstalled it or maybe magic happen on Magisk? It has disappeared. Now I have no root. ANyway I am going to remove the ROM and do not touch any third party launchers as I got bad experience with them.
Thanks for help though!
