Development [CLOSED] PIXEL EXPERIENCE PIXEL 5A BARBET ANDROID 13 BETA UNOFFICIAL NOV. 7, 2022

[TheSayaMan]

October security patch.

You MUST be on Android 12 to use this!!!!!

If your already on Android 13, you can not go back to Android 12, so don't try flashing this!!!

Your bootloader must also be unlocked to install custom firmware.

To do this, reboot to bootloader and type the following: fastboot flashing unlock

The custom kernel of this ROM hides the unlocked bootloader. The device will pass Safetynet and the Play Store will report the device as certified. Based on this, root, magisk and the modules are not needed to pass device certification.

This is based on the Android Open Source Project. It includes various proprietary hardware-specific code.

All the source code is available in the Github repo here.

Basic requirements​

1. Read through the instructions at least once before actually following them, so as to avoid any problems due to any missed steps!
2. Make sure your computer has adb and fastboot. Setup instructions can be found here.
3. Enable USB debugging on your device.

Thanks go to Github and Pixel Experience for their source code and device specific code. I couldn't have built this without it!!!

The ROM uses the Pixel Experience source code, device specific code. I made other minor changes and used compression to lower the file size of the ROM, creating more space in the internal storage with minor reduction in performance. Updated every week with minor changes.

GAPPS ARE ALSO INCLUDED WITH THIS ROM

DO NOT DOWNLOAD OR FLASH GAPPS ON THIS ROM!!!!!

DOWNLOAD RECOVERY FLASHER HERE

DOWNLOAD ROM HERE

#1 REBOOT TO BOOTLOADER

#2 FACTORY RESET: fastboot -w

#3 Have all the recovery flasher files in the same folder
Simply double click on flash.bat to install recovery

#4 REBOOT TO RECOVERY THEN ADB SIDELOAD
adb sideload PixelExperience_barbet-13-20221107-BETA-UNOFFICIAL.zip

#5 REBOOT TO SYSTEM

#6 REBOOT TO RECOVERY AGAIN IF YOU WISH TO ROOT AND ADB SIDELOAD
adb sideload magisk.apk

#7 REBOOT TO SYSTEM

Screen call and Google assistant works.

If you are already on this ROM, you can dirty flash updates without wiping data. Simply set to inactive slot in bootloader. Reboot to bootloader then
fastboot --set-active=other

Then repeat all steps except #2

YOU MUST WIPE WHEN COMING TO THIS ROM THE FIRST TIME!!!

how is the FP sensor, does phone have slow unlock when you are not using AOD? Google introduced that stupid bug in March, and they still didn't fix it.

I'm having a issue right now getting the updates pushed through the updater. For now you can manually update without wiping by the following method until I get it fixed. Reboot to bootloader and check what your active slot is. Switch to opposite slot by the following. Example, active slot is b. fastboot --set-active=a Reboot to recovery and sideload update file. Reboot to recovery and sideload Gapps file. Reboot to system. You will then have to reboot to recovery to sideload magisk and root again. Updates are always installed in opposite slot or you will be stuck at bootanimation. This will hopefully be temporary until I get the issue resolved.

Ok thank you. Someone sent me a personal PM saying that phone calls were dropping for no reason and all text messages were not being received to their phone. I can't seem to see any issue from the logcat they sent me. Any truth to this from you or anyone else? I am using this myself and don't have such issues. Maybe it's carrier related. I have Verizon. I will check with him and see what carrier he is using. I will give him the benefit of doubt.

This is 12.1. If you look in System, it will show Lineage 19.1

This is 12.1. If you look in System, it will show Lineage 19.1

No, for me it says, Android version 12
Lineage version 19-20220504-UNOFFICIAL-barbet

 

[TheSayaMan]

No, for me it says, Android version 12
Lineage version 19-20220504-UNOFFICIAL-barbet

The file name is irrelevant. Look in System, updater.

I didn't install latest your update, maybe because of it, it using Android 12?
