This is awesome!

I dirty flashed over the [20211111-1914] 'Alpha' build, to this [20211123-1553] 'Beta' build, no problem.

- Doesn't require repartition process.

A few concerns:
- Camera app doesn't work after updating it from Google Play Store, so don't update it
- Live Caption feature doesn't work, let me know if there is a workaround

Rest seems to work all good, no major issues so far, let me know if I was suppose to install this clean.

Thanks, cheers & regards!

I'll eventually fetch the apk and build it, so it won't auto update.
As for live caption, leave it to me, i'll fix it soon!

These are not major issues, I didn't find any major issues so far, this a daily driver build!

Once again, thank you so much!

Cheers!

I think it would be better to clean install this [20211123-1553] 'Beta' build. and not dirty flash over 'Alpha' builds.

'System UI' started crashing, while playing YouTube videos. And, had sign-in issues with Google Apps, probably because I dirty flashed over 'Alpha' build.

Edit: Yup!

- Google Play Store is now certified.
- Concerns are the same as shared above post, nothing major.

Clean install is recommended for the best.

Thank you so much for you development for this!

Can you confirm if we need to repartition for this?

No need for repartition process.

Can you confirm if you can install banking apps and if they function?

Yes, banking apps seems to be working.

But, hold on, there seems to be an issue with video playback. 'System UI' crashes when I play video on YouTube, YouTube Music, Amazon Prime Video & MX Player Pro.

can't install magisk

Try using magisk canary version. Works like a charm.

Has anyone else encountered the problem of not being able to install the rom ? I do everything as in the instructions and when it starts it returns me to recovery and says that it can't find the android system to boot, files may be corrupted .. I downloaded it 3 times.

Got the same issue.
Wiping data seems to give an error 1.

EDIT:
Got it working by using TWRP en following instructions found in another thread:

Steps by 73sydney:

1) backup anything you love/need on internal storage (not joking)
2) enable usb debugging via developer options
3) adb reboot bootloader
4) fastboot format userdata
5) fastboot boot twrp-xxxxx.img
6) (In TWRP) enable sideload: Advanced -> ADB Sideload, then Swipe
7) adb sideload PixelExperience_xxxxx.zip
8) (In TWRP) Factory reset: Wipe, then Swipe
9) (In TWRP) Reboot to System: Reboot -> System

Can confirm there is a serious stability issue with System UI.
Even when not watching videos I get a crash around every 2 minutes max.

The ROM is unusable this way.
