[ROM][13.0][sargo] Pixel Experience [AOSP]

[NinjaCoool]

Been out of rom game for a while but since my 3a is end of life updates wanted to try flashing android 13. But have a question when flashing the android 13 rom does it rebrand the pixel 3a to another name since the 3a doesn't officially go to 13? Or does it keep the pixel 3a name?

It keeps the pixel 3a name.

It keeps the pixel 3a name.

Thanks for the reply! Have you flashed PE13? If so how you liking it.

It keeps the pixel 3a name.

Sure, but will also recognized as Pixel 6 Pro (in devices overview on the Google.com site) and as Nexus in google play service app in the settings, there in devices. But on chrome info normal as Pixel 3a. Reason is enable features.

Thank you so much! Used the first beta builds and yesterday installed the stable release. Apart from the "bootloader is unlocked" message at the beginning, it's nearly impossible to tell this is a custom ROM. Google stopped releasing upgrades for Sargo, but PixelExperience makes Android 13 a seamless experience on this device. Even features like the "double tap on back" shortcut and adaptive audio works. In my usage I have come across not a single thing that didn't work exactly how it should, and the overall experience is incomparably smooth and fluid. PixelExperience is by far the best ROM to recommend anyone who wants to go on using Google's various services.

I clean flashed the latest release (Nov 22), got it setup and then patched the boot image with Magisk 25.2.
Flashing the Magisk patched image causes the OS to bootloop.
Is there a different/special method needed to root this ROM?

Even I have this same issue as I patch it with magisk, the device goes to bootlop and never works. In both the standard and the plus editions these issues persist. The previous beta build didn't cause this issue. How to fix it??

They switched to an EROFS which Magisk is still not compatible with.

The referenced tweet is posted in May 6, 2019, 3.5+ years ago - why do you think it is still relevant..? Even John wrote in the tweet that EROFS will be supported by Magisk shortly.. 3.5+ years ago. Just looked into the GitHub releases and changelogs and V19.3 (released: Jun 5, 2019) has in it's changelog: [MagiskInit] Support EROFS used in EMUI 9.1
First advise, as always: try pathing it with the canary build.

So magisk works then?

No, it does not work with PE.
John updated Magisk to work with EROFS as implemented in EMUI 9.1. It does not work with EROFS as implemented by the PE team.

Hello.
I have already installed version 12 plus (august). Can I install 13 plus with a clean install following the guide? Or I need to reinstall stock first?

Thanks for the info, I'll wait for working root then.

Seems there's no open issues regarding this on magisk github, don't know if that's a good thing or not :V

No need reinstal stock. Just follow the guide.

is native video call works on this rom?

If we use this ROM on 3a, do we lose the unlimited storage saver quality Google Photos upload perk? Also, does Google Pay work?
