The Pixel Experience custom ROM will be getting more features in the latest updates

The original goal of Pixel Experience was to offer a custom ROM that was stable while also including the features that are available on Pixel devices. The scope of the ROM has grown in a number of ways over the years with a recent change being the addition of CAF versions of the ROM as opposed to only AOSP versions. The team recently announced a slew of customization features in their official Telegram channel (@PixelExperience) which will be available in the CAF and AOSP builds of the ROM (starting with the May 2019 Android security patch build).

Some fans of the Pixel Experience ROM have been asking its developers to add in some additional features. The goal was to always focus on stability and porting over Pixel features. That has made the custom ROM what it is today, but it also means others have avoided it due to it not having some core custom ROM features that people have grown to expect. So, in the next official build of Pixel Experience, we are told to expect the following new features:
