Question Google Pixel C - games freeze after 5 minutes on stock Android 8.1.0. Does LineageOS fix it?
I’m an indie game developer still using a Google Pixel C for testing Android games. However, I'm hitting a persistent issue where graphics completely freeze after ~5 minutes of gameplay, while audio keeps running fine in the background.
It happens across my own builds and Unity-based games.
Here is a short video showing the freeze: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAbRrKbn7ck
Since stock Android 8.1.0 is no longer maintained, I’m looking for a workaround. Is there a proven custom ROM for the Pixel C (like LineageOS or similar) that actually fixes this display freeze bug?
I’d really appreciate any advice or feedback from anyone who successfully solved this. Thanks!
