What is this?
PixelExperience is an AOSP based ROM, with Google apps included and all Pixel goodies (launcher, wallpapers, icons, fonts, boot animation)

Our mission is to offer the maximum possible stability and security, along with essential and useful features for the proper functioning of the device

Based on Android 13​


Supported devices!
Both variations of A52 4G and A72 (A525F and A525M and A725F and A725M) are supported, but only A525F (6/128 variant) is well tested as I have this device. A72 also has lower support as I do not own one.

Happy to see my device get enough supported. Nice ROM. Eventhough the topic is just 1 day, but I'm hurry to try. Especially after my official rom prompting me to update to 4.1 - Not ready for the whoopy 4GB + Format.

    How long have you been using it like this? And is it necessary to keep battery saver on at all times? I just hurried because the phone was so hot, I thought I might explode. I never saw a phone heat that much, so I didn't want to take the risk.

    I do love the ROM though, so I might give your fix a try. Thanks for informing.

    Oh and if it's possible could you share a screenshot of the Battery usage status window?

    I agree 100% on this, but I keep switching between one ui and Pixel experience because of the camera. Or more specifically, the video. The stock camera has better video stabilization. There is literally no other issues apart from this.

    Both lineageos 20 and this rom are great, better comes down to personal preference. If you are using a different rom, you will need to follow the install guide and wipe all mentioned partitions before installing.
