PixelExperience 13 Beta (Unofficial) Mi Pad 4 Plus (clover+)

I have the same Problem.

Hi Sabar,

Thanks for the rom could you please fix the app drawer showing the installed apps only in the lower half of the screen?

 

[GregEden]

I just installed this ROM - had no issues whatsoever during installation. But I have a very weird problem now. There's a icon dock bar from the default launcher clipping through most of my apps, even through Nova launcher itself. See attached screenshots. I've tried to change the display size setting or turn on / off button navigation, but it didn't help. Very weird, any suggestions?

Thanks for this awesome ROM!

I have moved to Lineage but with older versions of this ROM going into settings -> display and changing display size to the largest setting fixed that issue for me on my 8" MiPad.

There are two ROMs now one clover and one clover+ <- it is a very subtle name difference

The other thing is to use Developer settings to play with DPI

I haven't switched to PE 13 yet but wanted to know if this Magisk Module would work, to disable that taskbar. Someone can test. Better than changing the display size or DPI.

Thanks. I have tried all of the above - max and min screen size, even setting it to ridiculous values in dev options - no change. I have the 10" tablet and have made sure to flash the clover+ file.

Thank you. I was not aware that this task bar is actually a feature - I thought it was simply a weird glitch. I am currently travelling and do not have access to my PC/ABD and am not rooted yet. Will do so in approximately a week. If any other user would like to try this module it would be appreciated.


@ everyone else facing the same issue: If you long-press the weird bar on an empty space it will transform into the regular "swipe indicator bar", which looks much more reasonable. It switches back to the weird task bar from time to time though. At least this is a temporary solution until a more permanent fix is found.

I had that issue about a month ago and in the end I had to wipe Data and set it up all over. But it worked.

i had clean install including format data. this does not happen at every reboot from power off state. once in a while. reading posts of other device users it seems that it is related to twrp.
now using LOS with latest twrp, lets see if that problem resurface in this rom.

Make sure you reboot your tablet just after "format data" and then install P13. If you install the rom just after "format data" without rebooting first, you can lost all your data or being in a loop around TWRP.

It is part of Pixel Launcher stuff, try to find the way to remove via settings all these icons for the recent apps and then install another good Launcher like Nova 7

It seems to me that you would be better served using sabar's other ROM. There is not that much difference between Pixel Experience and Lineage - apart from the launcher.

Hi,

For any new updates for this Pixel ROM, do we need to reinstall whatever Apps that we have installed? Anyway to keep them as it is?

Once you have a good working version of this ROM you just need to do a monthly dirty flash and all your apps will stay where they are and all your data will remain. It becomes no more difficult than updating your phone. You can do a backup if you wish to be certain but hopefully you will never need it.

Hi Greg,

How do you do "dirty flash"? How I did previously was just to wipe everything and reinstall the new updates from Sabarop. thereafter have to reinstall apps that i am using and find it very cumbersome.

Please advice.

Simple. Do not wipe anything. Restart in TWRP and write the new version. When finished there are two options Wipe Cache and Restart. Wipe Cache which will take a second then restart.
NOTE: this only works when you are doing monthly updates, not when you go up whole versions like Android 12 to 13.

I restarted in TWRP and only select Install but it seems "error opening" file path.

can help to advice? Else i may have to do complete wipe again.

I just put the latest ROM on the SD card and in TWRP when you go to Install there is an option to select storage so I select the SD card. It has always worked.
Also you might have a corrupt downloaded zip file.

Hi Greg,

Thanks. Yes I did that but somehow it got stucked. So I revert back to old versions for now.
Maybe you are right its due to corrupted files.

WIll try again in next updates.

I just installed the module "magisk-pe-taskbar-fix.zip" (from the GitHub releases page) and it works just fine. The taskbar finally has the correct height on my MiPad 4 8".

Thanks a lot for the link!
