[ROM][10][Q][Flo][UNOFFICIAL] Pixel Experience (4/15/2020)

PixelExperience for Nexus 7 2013 [Flo]

What is this?
Pixel Experience is an AOSP based ROM, with Google apps included and all Pixel goodies (launcher, wallpapers, icons, fonts, bootanimation)

Our mission is to offer the maximum possible stability and security, along with essential and useful features for the proper functioning of the device

Based on Android 10.0 Q

Known issues:

- Navigation bar glitches sometimes.
- Since it's Android Q you may have problems with certain apps not working properly. You will have to tell the developer of the certain app to update their app to be compatible with Android Q. This is not a problem with the ROM.
- I REPEAT DO NOT FLASH ANY GAPPS package with the ROM as they are already included in the ROM.
- Setup wizard has been fully fixed so you will now see it at first boot!
- Chrome force closing issue is still present. Use an alternate browser like firefox or dolphin. Hopefully will be fixed in next build.
- You tell us!

Instructions:

- Make sure your device system partition is repartitioned to at least 1.3gb if you have at least this or anything higher you don't have to do this. There is a thread made by Clamor that can help you with this.
- Download ROM zip and reboot to twrp recovery.
- Wipe everything except internal storage and reboot recovery.
- Flash ROM and DO NOT FLASH GAPPS as they are already included!
- Reboot into ROM and then reboot back into TWRP & flash Magisk 20.4 to get root and reboot and enjoy!

There are two downloads for Flo below. One is the stock dpi build (320) which has the screen density not changed. The other one is the 480 custom phone dpi so you get a bigger screen density size and the items on the screen are bigger. Please download and choose the one you prefer.

Thank you so much for building Pixel Experience 10 for this device

Just flashed it, the DPI seems a little bit weird (like a phone DPI), I changed the DPI in Developer Settings and the wallpaper seems to glitch (the default Pixel wallpaper was changed to AOSP default wallpaper). Applying the Pixel wallpaper in wallpaper settings after changing DPI solved the issue.
Android Setup, Chrome and Google App seem to be missing.
Chrome seems to have problem playing videos while other browsers work fine (the same problem on followmsi's December AEX build)
Other stuff run smoothly and wonderfully. Thanks again!

Chrome and the Google app you can just download from the play store. They had to be removed because the rom wouldn't build due to not enough space in the system partition that got set to 1.5gb. There is no setup wizard because its not working on any android Q ROMS properly right now so thats a source issue i cannot fix. So as of right now there is no setup wizard when the ROM boots up. Glad you enjoy the ROM

I have it set to phone dpi because i like the bigger screen.

Wow! Finally! The best 10 rom so far!

Thanks for another amazing work!

I just need one thing... I need advanced reboot menu! I can't use my vol button to reboot recovery! I'm getting crazy here! I just can't flash magisk without advance reboot menu!?

Download this app here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm

You can use this app to reboot recovery without requiring root. Just open the app and type reboot recovery. It should then boot into your twrp recovery without using root. Then there you can flash magisk 20.1. Wait up to a minute though for it to reboot into recovery though. Sorry for the first ignore post xda labs acts wierd and improperly on android 10 so i had to use chrome instead.

Chrome seems to have problems with video playing.
I googled and used "HTML5 Video Test Page" to test video playing and only WebM type can be successfully played (YouTube mobile website seems to work fine).

#About the phone DPI
I used the default phone DPI for some time and found that some apps seem to not working property with the default phone DPI.
For example, in the Files app, when you try to rename something, the file name input box is covered.
Also, some apps consider this device as tablet so these apps switch to tablet UI. As a result, the app's elements are extra large that make the app unusable.
For example, some presentation app failed to switch to phone UI and make it unable to add text boxes.
Also, some drawing apps failed to switch to phone UI which makes the toolbox as large as half of the board.
So I think maybe it is better to use tablet UI as default while advanced users can still change DPI in Developer Settings.

#About Chrome video playing black screen
followmsi reverted the changes in media_codecs.xml on GitHub (last time QCOM avc decoder was dropped) which seems to have solved the Chrome video playing issue

#About Camera app missing
Camera was disappeared in Pixel Launcher (haven't tried other launchers) and can't be opened in App Settings (there is no "Open" option)

Having used this ROM for several days and your work is quite amazing! Thank you again for giving us Pixel Experience 10 and wish you a happy new year

Thank you i will take your thoughts into consideration. I don't use the files app or even any presentation apps so i havent seen those problems but i will be making two seperate builds sometime this month or next month when the new pe source changes come in. The first build will be the custom 480 dpi and the second build will be the stock dpi (320). You can download the one you want and you will be able to tell which one is which from the name.

Look out another android Q ROM is coming for flo:

GZOSP (Ground Zero Open Source Project)

Actually i sent a message to followmsi. I dont know what is causing this so i need to seek his help because i have no clue where to start on the issue. Its not working for me either on both my aicp rom and pixel experience rom. I will add this issue to the list of known issues.
