[Discontinued]Pixel Experience P[UNOFFICIAL][14.12.2018][S9/S9+/N9

Samsung Pixel Experience P​

By CodeFox & OpenSauce9810​

What is this?
This is a Semi Generic System Image. That means it's a generic system image that's been optimised as much as possible for our Samsung Devices. This is what differentiates this rom from the one you can find in the Project Treble Forum. I also plan to provide regular updates and improvements very frequently. I'm aiming for weekly if not more.

Why not Rainbow_Dash?
We're a part of the same team and he's taking a break from developing for the moment, so I'm going to do my best to support you with regular updates and support where possible. So his previous version should be considered redundant.

How the heck do I flash this?
It's slightly different than flashing a zip, so here's what you need to do.

• Download the image file
• Flash the ARH6 Vendor Image to your Vendor Partion from TWRP (Press the Install Image button at the bottom right of where you usually select a flashable zip)
• Flash the System Image to your System Partition
• Optional if you want root (but reccomended): Reboot to recovery again then flash your choice of Magisk. I use 17.1 as I can get galaxy wear to work with that version.
• Reboot your device and you should be good to go! No need to flash gapps as they're included.

What's different to the PE in project treble forum?

• Smoother UI Performance Fixes
• Debloated unneccessary libs from other devices
• Vibration Motor has been corrected (it's too powerful in GSI)
• Regular Maintenance / Builds & Support

Changelog:
30.11.2018 - Initial XDA Release & Unofficial rollout.

01.12.2018

• Animation integers corrected to be smoother
• Black boot-animation added, no more being blinded by the boot animation
• Pixel Live Wallpapers included
• High Resolution default wallpaper added

09.12.2018 (Now maintained by @malinathani

• Made system ui a hella smoother compared to before
• Face unlock works
• Phh settings removed. All samsung options should now be persistent.

14.12.2018

I notice that you haven't added known issues to the op? Are you waiting on further testing? Would be useful to have.

Thank you for the rom btw. And thanks to the entire opensauce9810 team. Very much appreciated

MANY THANKS, rom looks awesome!! My screen brightness is set to 100% however it looks like it is on 15% I can hardly see stuff on my screen, is there a way to increase brightness with build prop or something?
UPDATE
Never mind established it was the universal ctsprofile: false that I installed

You need to enable the extended brightness range in phh settings too under Samsung. Will let your screen go brighter

Thanks is there a way to pass ctsProfile in magisk? It remains falls.

Since my Note 9 is still on it's way and I'm on a S9 now I have a simple question.

In 8.1 AOSP ROM's IMS services and the Iris scanner don't work. Do they work on this ROM? And if Iris scanner doesn't work, can we still use biometric unlocking? I hate fingerprint scanner so on the rear as I use wallet cases and can't easily reach it.

 

[Nasty_z]

I believe smart lock face unlock does not work. I added my face to it but I'm unable to 'improve face matching'. It simply says cannot start finding your face. And nothing happens when I try to unlock my phone using face unlock either.

Other than that, the typing feels a bit slower than stock Samsung roms. Not sure if it's the touch response or what. I disabled the haptic feedback for the keyboard but it still seems a bit slower. Could be just me though..

Apart from these issues, rom is definitely a daily driver so hats off to the entire team

Download hideprops in Magisk downloads. Reboot to initialise it. then download a terminal emulator from the playstore and type the command "props" without the quotes.
Grant SU to the terminal

then pick edit fingerprint. Select Samsung, and choose the s9+ fingerprint (number 22 I think). Reboot and then CTS will pass.

Iris Scanner will never work in an AOSP Rom. The libs are proprietary to Samsung experience roms.

Yeah it's a little quirk with GSI's unfortunatley. The vibration motor causes somewhat of a delay when typing. Turning off haptic feedback completely seems to make it normal for me. I've gotten used to typing without haptic feedback now haha.

I noticed that you mentioned in the OP that you use Galaxy wear?

A bit OT but is there a way to use the Gear with different roms without having the Gear being reset every time? It just seems to get reset every time I pair with it on a new rom.

I wish there was, I'm so sick of having to reset it I literally use my watch just as a watch most of the time because I'm flashing new builds so often. It's a pain in the neck and I don't know why Samsung did it this way, it's frustrating.

Hi all,

Will Dolby atmos work?

 

[pimmeludo]

Hi there,

great ROM. Flashed it today and so far everything looks very good.
Just tried out the camera and found a weird bug:
When taking videos (front and back camera), the screen flashes green about every second during recording. The video itself is not affected.
Seems to happen for every camera app.

Any way to fix this?
