Last i read they were focusing on 12 L.

Not sure how accurate that is though

 

[vuoshinotizy]

Yes but yesterday they released the new 13 beta for the pad5

 

[Atheosun]

If you want to install it you have to unlock the bootloader but xiaomi dont unlock this before 1 week from the request...

Can someone to install it and show it to us? If there is the miui or if is the stock version of android 13. And if they put something like new gesture or something for the tablet. Thanks

Nope. All other methods aren't worth the security risk. Just wait a week

Looks like Xiaomi have released an Android 13 beta for "Xiaomi Pad 5".

Looks like it is for Nabu.

Anyone tried it out?

Just managed to install the A13 Beta2 global rom.. so far its working fine for me aside from the brightness.... its a bit dim even its maxed out... the gpu driver version is still at .502.. successfully rooted with the latest magisk... need to manually set the 120hz in adb but so far I think its great...

How did you unlock the bootloader? Seems to be impossible :/ is it usable as a first rom? Is possible to install the gesture from the xiaomi launcher on the tab 5?

I unlocked the rom using the mi unlock tool provided by xiaomi and by waiting for almost 2 weeks (im using windows)

I'm still exploring this rom but I havent experienced bugs at the moment aside from the aforementioned brightness thats a bit dim for me even its maxed out... but if you need the other features of miui like the floating windows/dolby atmos and other stuff i think its fine to stick for miui for now and wait for the 12L or the official A13 for miui

Can you outline the steps you took and your starting point? TIA

Its pretty much a straightforward process after unlocking the bootloader..

download this one on your PC
Global A13 Beta2

Edit: Also dont forget to backup files since this will wipe all your data

1.Extract the downloaded file using 7zip/Winrar until you get a folder
2.Connect your phone in fastboot mode
3.Open the extracted folder and click the flash_all.bat
4.Wait for it to finish
5.Done

For rooting
1.Download the latest magisk apk
2.From the fastboot rom folder, grab the boot.img and transfer it to your phone with the apk you have just downloaded
3.Install the magisk on your phone and patch the boot.img
4.Transfer the patched boot.img to your pc and flash through fastboot
5.Reboot and install any modules you want

Which adb command ?

I just flashed the developer preview.
As I expected already the Smart Pen can connect but is otherwise not working.
The display configuration is off, but manually changing the dpi value in the developer settings fixes that.
Netflix works with playing back video that looks like more than just 576p (pal).

Otherwise due to the early of development of course there are more smaller and bigger issues with the release but it is quite nice to see a relatively well working clean stock Android build on the tablet. If it weren't for the missing smart pen support I might be running it as a daily driver.
