[ROM] [13.0] [Dragon] Pixel Experience Plus [UNOFFICIAL]

[michie]

New build uploading. I clean flashed it myself to test... Play store is working and app settings too.

 

[Dias2001]

Flashed the new image over the old one.
All work well, only issue it takes "Play Store" 40+ seconds to open. (But not an issue for me)

Thanks for the new build!

Is the bottom app bar fixed? It was cut in the last build

 

[michie]

It's a pixel launcher which is not made for our device. When you disable app suggestions on the home screen it's probably fixed... Or a different launcher... But then again the taskbar height still needs to be fixed.

Flashed it to over the last build and everything seems to be working great.

Thanks so much for making this available its wonderful.

Can you confirm that the cameras work in this ROM?

 

[tabormeister]

Flashed! First boot is boot looping. Ideas? EDIT: data/cache wipe let it boot just fine, google speech services crashed on first boot but then it settled after I force closed it with the popup. Seems really smooth so far.

Sidenote, anybody flashed the US wifi baseband on an EU pixel c? EU version I just bought is missing 5ghz wifi channel 149
I am a dumb, wifi country code settings are in advanced settings under system. Woooo 5ghz is back!

Just flashed 0414

No new issues noticed so far. Seems smooth. Overnight battery drain last night was nearly zero, and it even woke up without any drama! Granted, I have only a few apps installed so far.

Fixed:

• Settings app includes the search bar now!

Mostly Fixed:

• Screenshots take without throwing an error, but the share/edit/etc overlay does not appear and the sound is pretty delayed. I am not sure if the actual capture is delayed as well.

On-going Issues:

• Status bar jank, camera, codecs, Chrome, etc: no need to elaborate. Everyone already knows.
• Keyboard shortcuts remain broken.
• The bundled Google Recorder app does not get the correct gain from available mics. The tablet mics are so low I can hardly record even very loud sounds and the gain from a headset is better but still very low. As an aside, Google, how is this still a portrait only app?!
• Because the keyboard shortcuts are broken I keep accidentally invoking Assistant, which allows me to notice that it is slow to launch. I'm not sure if this is an issue or not. Maybe it's an old tablet, heavy app, problem.
• Probably other little things?
• EDIT1: the drag from taskbar gesture to initiate split screen works, but at least in landscape the UI highlights the top or bottom half instead of the left or right half. The apps do split left and right correctly but they look like they will try to go top and bottom during the gesture. Maybe this is just part of the taskbar is janky section.

I get excited by trying silly things so I installed Genshin Impact.

And... it plays! Sort of! Actually, it's really (really) slow at first and consumes nearly the entire storage on my 32GB Pixel. If you want to be foolish like me I suggest you set the IO Scheduler to deadline, increase ZRAM to 1GB ish, and be very patient haha. Once you suffer through the beginning/trainer level you can access the graphics settings and get them low enough to actually play with okay ish frame rates.

I just noticed below workaround in the lineage os thread on videos not playing properly in chromium based browsers. I checked it and does seem to work.

Our "old" Nivida codecs do have problems to play videos in Chrome-based browsers.
(Rename or remove /vendor/lib/libnvomx.so and reboot system to switch to
software video codecs.)

Any way to fix the play store issues? It doesn't show certain apps due to the play store security or something
For example, Netflix

 

[LaurenceGough]

Does this work with multiple users? I tried CRdroid Android 12 build and it goes completely mad if you add another user. Removing the 2nd user (not that easy in the state it gets in) resolves the problem but I need two users on it .

Use https://www.apkmirror.com/ to download them. Netflix etc won't show sometimes due to their requirements.

It won't be in HD at all though so I wouldn't bother as it won't be DRM Widevine L1 any longer . Casting should be OK though.

Are there any fixes for the HD Netflix issue yet? I've seen a few threads, but none seem to work anymore

Doubt it, l1 widevine was revoked for pixel c

The switchroot Android 10 ROM for Nintendo Switch has full hardware video decoder support.

It's on modded Shield TV Linux 4.9 kernel instead of 3.18, but is there a chance to copy some system/vendor files over to enable HW codec for Pixel C?

(Nevermind, just saw the previous post https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-12-1-dragon-10-03-2021.4206015/post-85841777)

Go to your device's forum. This is for the Pixel C tablet, not a Nokia.

 

[tabormeister]

Only problem I've found lately is screen recording crashes the launcher

I don't understand your question, this is android 11.

I've been trying to port latest Shield blobs but it's not an easy job. They are still on android 9. It would be more convenient when they upgrade to 11 but then again... the proprietary Nvidia stuff is difficult to work with due to the many dependancies.

Yep, and costly since you have to license their use. New to these Pixel C threads. Do I understand you have someone creating Vulkan drivers for TX1 on Android?
