Because you should follow my steps and do the initial installation through PE recovery, not TWRP. After that, feel free to use whatever recovery you like. The recovery override behavior is the same on any stock ROMs.

You can avoid the override by modifying the boot partition. The most common way is just flashing Magisk. If the boot partition remains unmodified, your recovery will be overwritten by PE recovery upon every boot.

Fantastic ROM. Thanks a lot!
Only thing broken for me is the weather information in the launcher. It's only showing the date.
Tried wiping cache, clean flashing again. Nothing fixes it.

We are working on a solution right now. Some reported that that weather can be displayed correctly if you manually add the widget from the Google app.

You may run into that problem because you haven't updated for a long time. There were some changes on apex in February, so if you skipped those updates, you may have a bootloop. I don't think there is an easy solution to your bootloop except for formatting data.

Feel free to read through previous discussions in this thread. Here is a starting point:

I would like to switch from lineageos 18.1 to PE. Do I have to consider anything special with the (fresh) installation of PE?

Thank you.

Hi, I'm still on PE10 from November, I only realised a few weeks ago that updater doesn't work due to a version change. Anyway, I have an unlocked bootloader and TWRP (3.4.0.0).

I would like to backup my current app data (any suggestions? Titanium still?), for which I need root and then upgrade. I would appreciate if someone could confirm my plan so that I don't brick anything.

1) flash Magisk, get root and backup app data
2) flash PE recovery
3) sideload PE11
4) flash magisk (can I do this from PE Recovery?)
5) install app data backup tool and restore apps and data

For backing up app data, I recommend Swift Backup over Titanium. Ti Backup is old and seems to cause random issues on newer android versions.

In your steps, you forgot to format data with PE recovery.
Yes you can flash Magisk from PE recovery. It's the same as flashing anything else: adb sideload Magisk-v22.1.zip for example

Maybe a stupid question, but I downloaded the update via OTA, but can't find the update zip... In which folder is this zip stored?

Thanks! First time the update via OTA did not work. After pressing Install, nothing happened. Second attempt did work flawlessly (via TWRP).

Thanks for your great work!!! Really appreciate this ROM.

Another question... I tried to find an answer within this topic, but did not succeed.

First install of the ROM was performed with PE recovery. Now I use the ROM together with TWRP recovery (twrp-3.5.2_9-0) and Magisk.
After an OTA update, the recovery is overwritten by PE recovery again. Is this normal behaviour or can I do something to keep TWRP?

No problem reinstalling TWRP and Magisk, but just wondering if this is normal.

My apologies. I have read this discussion, but apparently misunderstood.

So to recap: After OTA / update the recovery will always be overwritten by PE recovery (because boot partition is 'restored' by the update)

    - auto-brightness had slow reaction to ambient light changes
    * patched frameworks/base to use linear brightness slider instead of the log scale one
    * ported gamma-linear conversion to light HAL
    * re-calculated auto brightness curve to fit new light HAL changes
    * reduced light sensor debounce time to stay in-line with MIUI
    * the result:
    - smooth backlight brightness transition when moving brightness slider
    - screen can dim to the lowest possible value the panel allows
    - auto-brightness reacts faster to ambient light changes

    * you will NOT lose any data. This is simply deleting a symlink for SAR support.
    - If your partition is not encrypted, your phone may not boot properly after flashing the update. This is because the zram optimizations changes fstab, so the previous fstab patched by the "disable forced encryption patch" you had on your phone is overwritten. Therefore, you need to flash the patch to disable forced encryption again. If you use OrangeFox, you can also flash the full package, because OrangeFox will automatically patch your phone after flashing full package.

    * Fixed double tap to wake on Mix 2s with ebbg screens
    * Reduced LED blinking frequency under low battery, without interfering with notification LED
    Note: PE has been improving their OTA updater recently and some work is still in progress. Clicking "install" in the updater may cause install error for now. You might need to manually flash the incremental package in recovery.
    Update: Updater is only supposed to work with encrypted device. If your phone is not encrypted (OrangeFox disables forced encryption by default), you need permissive SELinux to be able to use the updater.
    Here is a quick way to change SELinux status if you have root:
    Code: 
    abd shell
su
setenforce 0
getenforce
    You should then see "Permissive" being printed in the shell.

    - PE recovery is REQUIRED
    * DO NOT use any other recovery
    * Partition scheme has been switched to retrofit dynamic partitioning because polaris is running out of system partition space. No actual re-partition is involved. Instead, the physical system and vendor partition is mapped together to form a logical "super" partition. The size of super partition equals the sum of the physical system and vendor partitions. After that, logical system and vendor partitions are created on top of this super partition. In this way, we are essentially redistributing space between the physical system and vendor partition to accommodate for the increase in size of system libraries and prebuilt apps.
    * The firmware is included with a different keymaster.img from perseus. DO NOT flash your own firmware.
    * To switch to other ROMs, format data in PE recovery first, and then install another recovery. You may need to re-flash the required firmware, if the ROM you are going to flash does not include one.
    - You can dirty flash from the previous PE 13 build. You can dirty flash PE 13 Plus on top of the regular PE 13.
    - You cannot upgrade from android 12 builds. Formatting data is required.

    ==============================
    Old guide for android 12 builds:

    - Formatting data with PE recovery is REQUIRED for clean flash
    * DO NOT use any other recovery
    * The firmware is included with a different keymaster.img from perseus. DO NOT flash your own firmware.
    * Keymaster is bumped to 4.0 for encryption, and cust partition is mounted as /metadata. You WILL NOT be able to boot TWRP on PE 12.1. OrangeFox R11.1_1 or newer can boot but is not capable of decrypting the data partition.
    * To switch to other ROMs, format data in PE recovery first, and then install another recovery. You may need to re-flash the required firmware, if the ROM you are going to flash does not include one.
    - You can dirty flash from my previous PE 12 or 12.1 builds. You can dirty flash the Plus edition on top of PE 12 / 12.1 regular builds.
    - You cannot upgrade from android 11 directly. Formatting data is required.

    PE recovery flash guide
    - Download PE recovery from the official PE website
    - Boot your phone into fastboot mode. You can either
    * hold power + volume down button
    * or `adb reboot bootloader`
    * or use the `Reboot to bootloader` option in TWRP/OrangeFox
    - Connect your phone to a computer
    - Run `fastboot flash recovery pe_recovery_file_name.img` in your cmd/powershell/terminal
    - Hold power + volume up to boot into recovery

    PE 12 flash guide
    - Boot into PE recovery
    - Select `Factory reset" --> "Format data/factory reset`. You phone should say that /data, /cache, and /metadata have been formatted.
    - Go back to main menu and select "Apply update" --> "Apply from ADB"
    - Connect your phone to a computer
    - Run `adb sideload pe_rom_file_name.zip` in your cmd/powershell/terminal and wait until it finishes
    - Reboot to system


    ==============================
    Old guide for android 11 builds:

    Note: The latest TWRP and OrangeFox are able to DECRYPT the /data partition on android11. However, during our testing process, formatting data to bootstrap the ENCRYPTION is still a hit or miss. Some users will get working encryption upon the initial format and boot, but others will have a broken encryption and may need another data format. /data will appear to be encrypted, the recovery will prompt you to enter password, but if you skip/cancel the password prompt, you may see that files are not actually encrypted. This does not happen to everyone using TWRP/OrangeFox, and the cause is still being investigated.
    Therefore, format data with PE recovery is still required for clean flash.
    If you are already on the previous PE 11 build, OTA or dirty flash is fine.


    PE recovery flash guide[Required]:
    - Download PE recovery from the the polaris device page of official PE website
    - Boot your phone into fastboot mode. You can either
    * Hold power + volume down button
    * or `adb reboot bootloader`
    * or use the `Reboot to bootloader` option in TWRP/OrangeFox
    - Connect your phone to a computer
    - Run `fastboot flash recovery pe_recovery_file_name.img` in your cmd/powershell/terminal
    - Hold power + volume up to boot into recovery

    If you have a custom recovery (TWRP/OrangeFox) installed already, you can use that to flash the .img file of PE recovery into the recovery partition.

    PE 11 ROM flash guide[Required]:
    - Boot into PE recovery
    - Select `Factory reset" --> "Format data/factory reset`
    - Go back to main menu and select "Apply update" --> "Apply from ADB"
    - Connect your phone to a computer
    - Run `adb sideload pe_rom_file_name.zip` in your cmd/powershell/terminal and wait until it finishes
    - Reboot to system

    ==============================
    Old guide for android 10 builds:

    Flash guide:
    1. Use latest OrangeFox recovery R11.0 (or newer) or TWRP 3.3.1-1 (or newer)
    2. If you have been using MIUI or any of its variants, you have to format data.
    - you may have to reboot to recovery again after formatting data
    3. Wipe system & data & cache & dalvik cache
    4. Install ROM
    5. Reboot to system

    Note: Official maintainer of PE for polaris has been changed. Clean flash is highly recommended for those coming from the deprecated official build from Oct 2019. I will not offer any help if you've dirty flashed.

    Hi,

    August update is out: https://blog.pixelexperience.org/20...y-updates-optimization-fixes-and-sneak-peeks/

    the new version with the August Security fix can be downloaded from httpsMay://my.hidrive.com/share/qwsshdfnxo#$/
    sha256sum is 18ae24ab82ad6978808238145493cae0c65d9e4ca0032cc25a8e8e4c1e727bc0

    Note: This is the Plus version, as this is what I'm running myself - I have no plans to build the non-Plus version, as I wouldn't test it, and I'd feel bad to provide a completely untested version.

    Regards
