According to the latest information available, independent developers just released the first custom ROM and kernels for the Pixel 4a.

The phone already runs on stock Android so the likelihood of any need for custom ROM may be less. But, options are always good as some people like to experiment with new ROMs on their devices. Interested users will also be pleased to know that Resurrection Remix, the new ROM runs on a custom kernel. The modification features available with the custom ROM are different from what users get with the stock version. Developers have talked about the potential of the custom ROM and the kernels. And while the kernel it stable, they have found the features to be a work in progress. However, the good news is, users won’t have to download the kernels separately.
