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

[GregEden]

the values of the detected battery are wrong,the screen diagonal indicates 10 inches

Settings -> Display -> Display size and text -> I then set Display size to max on an 8" model. It seems the wrong thing but it makes all the writing and controls a good size.
But I am using the LineageOS version and have not used the Pixel Experience version for a while.

New update...see 1st post

reinstalled rom from scratch on mi pad 4 plus. the rotation function is working. seems something breaks this functionality but i do not know what, it may be other launcher or google update or something else. great work. many thanks otherwise this product was long dead before.

I have switched over from LineageOS

Just for those reading this thread and wondering.

I did a clean install and did not restore anything. I then spent an hour in Playstore adding back all my most used apps and logging into accounts. So an absolutely clean install. I also used Fastboot to install twrp-4.19-3.7.0_9-clover-20221007-0724 before installing this ROM. I also added the camera apk that sabar has posted for download. I do not use Magisk.

Autorotate works in all my apps, but not on the lock screen (as has been discussed). Not something I care about my lockscreen is just black. Playstore is certified. Netflix is installable and indeed runs fine. Netflix is in SD as is always the case but on an 8" screen SD looks good.

WiFi runs at the full speed of my Internet connection, so close to 100Mbps. My connection is via a 5Ghz channel. 4G LTE runs at about 50Mbps which is only limited by my reception. Bluetooth works and my Creative headphones default to aptX HD. I have a Bluetooth DAC for my HiFi and it connects via LDAC for the best bluetooth connection you can have. My wired headphone and microphone work as well.

Microphone works and I can run Duolingo without problems (something that I have not been able to do for a while).

I use external USB-C drives. They work. They also work via the Google Files app, which was not always the case. I have a 256GB microSD card inserted and set as external storage. It works fine.

GPS locks on quickly. No issues. Compass apps and SkyMap work as they should. Google Maps and maps.me work as they should.

I have a Google One account and the Google VPN is installed and running. I also have Avira anti malware installed - the free version.

I use Google Authenticator and was able to use the camera to read the QR codes from inside the app. Google Lens works and will capture an image and look for results.

All in all a very polished product this early on in development. Apart from a rotating lock screen I do not see much that needs fixing. Some have issues with the camera but mine works well enough with the apk file on the download page. For me the camera is only for using as a QR scanner, Google Translate and Google Lens and it will never get used for actual photography.

EDIT: Inware reports that root is hidden. Thus I do not see any problem with using banking apps if you wanted to do that.
EDIT 2: I set screen size to maximum in the settings to make the screen look right and I played with the font size to get it "just right" for me.

Hi i tried installing PE13 on mi pad 4 plus and after flashing in twrp when i reboot, it comes back to twrp straight away, i have tried above solution too that someone told to flash PE13 + NYX kernal still it reboot to twrp,

I was having real trouble with any newer ROMs also doing this on my non-plus 8-inch Mi Pad 4.

What worked for me was to download and flash the stock MIUI ROM from https://mifirmware.com/mi-pad-4-firmware/ and then finally flashing PixelExperience_clover-13.0-BETA-20220913-1445-UNOFFICIAL.zip worked.

Hi, is it possible to update from Lineage 19.1 using Lineage Recovery "Apply Update" option?

There are many changes. I would think you need to do a clean install from TWRP. And as discussed above install the latest TWRP for 4.19 kernels using Fastboot and a computer.

which specific gapps you are using? call recording available in latest build?

You do not install GAAPS in Pixel Experience. The whole point of Pixel Experience is that is mimics the Google Pixel.

I cannot test call recording. I would never use a tablet to make phone calls. My SIM is data only.

No problem, the two ROMs obviously share a lot of common framework.

Hi sabar, I saw on your sourcecode repo a final version 20221031 that it is not the one on the first post, is it the one for Mi Pad 4 8" you mentioned? Thank you in advance.

do clean install. format data. choose proper rom for your device and twrp.
place rom in internal storage.
install rom and reboot system.
if problem persist try other rom.
