[ROM][13.0][OSS] PixelExperience / Pixel Experience Plus [Official]

[Faisal0000]

Just wanted to say thanks. Super stable and snappy ROM. The only downfalls would be the cameras if you want to daily drive it. Using my s9 as a secondary device so doesn't affect me much but for those who want a better camera experience on this ROM, do this.

1. Go to celsoazevedo website
2. Download latest SGCAM.
3. Profit

(Only for back cam. The selfie cam doesn't work sadly)

If you want to use stable gcam for this rom download here. https://gcamera.co/downloads/bsg-8-1-for-exynos/
I use this version back cam and front working.
To save front cam picture change the viewfinder format to YUV. Then if you have a problem with hdr at night you can disable HDR+.

I'm new to android modding so please cut me some slack
1. what are the "recovery image" files for..is it a custom version of TWRP or something like that

2. I'd appreciate an easy-to-follow guide on how to install Pixel Experience

• My device isn't rooted
• I don't have a custom recovery installed

more info:
I also know there's an installation guide on the page but as I said I'm new to this and I'm embarrassed to admit...I kind of didn't understand most of what I read and I don't want to make a mistake and mess up the installation

I have a PC(windows)

to anyone replying to this message, thank you in advance

i couldn't find OEM unlock in developer settings...
i wasn't searching online as to why i couldn't find it
edit: i'm using the SD version not the Eynos verson, is that gonna be an issue when installing pixel experience
could it been because i've only had my phone for a few days

Thank you for the very snappy android 13 erofs build!The only problem I have is that widevine is stuck on L3 and that you can't install magisk on erofs but that's TWRP fault for not supporting erofs on this phone but still the rom is a great experience!

You don't need TWRP to install Magisk. Just sideload the Magisk zip like you would any other system update packaged as a zip file. Go to the PE recovery and look for the adb sideload option and activate it. Then on the command line type: "adb sideload magisk.zip" and reboot your device

After flashing magisk the phone bootloops so it doesn't work

HI, i have some problem, now i install pixel experience recovery and now i always has this error, when i trying to install something: failed to find payload_properties.txt. So maybe someone know what should i do? sorry for bad english)

 

[Ferexio]

Maybe use TWRP instead PE Recovery?

 

[BreakPointtt]

Well, no EROFS build work with magisk currently. Dont need to try

 

[dylanneve1]

Main post updated to reflect migration to Android 13. All Android 12 builds will now be depreciated. Plus build also has been added.

 

[DeadPicsel]

Can anyone provide steps on how to install this rom? I have samsung S9 Plus (T-Mobile) version of the phone.

Here you go,https://download.pixelexperience.org/star2lte

 

[Ferexio]

I don't know if it's a bug or not but I can pay using my phone with locked screen. Could you do something with this because it's too dangerous.

 

[Faisal0000]

Is there no AOD on the plus version (13)? I cant seem to find it. There was one on the plus version (12)

 

[kelmer_cunha]

VOLTE and WIFI CALL working?
Thanks

Battery life seems to be improved, but I'm really missing always on display

 

[aureljared]

Incredibly smooth build, thanks PE team!

SafetyNet pass is a nice addition, but I understand it's mostly superficial. Just wish the battery in this phone lasted longer, lol. Great as a backup phone but even on stock the battery life isn't great for a daily driver.
