Hello, I loved the rom, used to have the previous version. I want to install 13 PE Rom, but without magisk don't want root only the beautiful rom. Have couple of questions before I install it.
Is safety net working properly? Need all my bank apps :), I have a galaxy watch and galaxy buds will they pair/work properly? and Audio, used to have an issue where speaker and whatsapp audio switched until the patch was released, need those apps on daily basis, will they work properly on this rom?
Love the rom in general. Thank you :)

I use PE since 6 months ago, and i can confirm: it's very good to daily use. I rooted my device and hide magisk and it got approved on safetynet test. Bluetooth devices are working, but 𝙢𝙖𝙮𝙗𝙚 you'll see some bugs, like no audio on BT headphones (in my case it happened only 3 times). I don't use bank apps, but if you don't root your device, they must run normal (I recommend you research the bank application first, to see if it is compatible with custom roms).

Hello, got the 13PE Plus rom(no magisk), very smooth and stable thank you. Bank apps worked without any problems, galaxy wearables didn't work, took me 2 hrs of tinkering and got it to par with the watch. But proximity sensor doesn't work. And the issue with the audio switch during calls still exists.
But otherwise beautiful rom, thank you :)

Galaxy wearables should work fine, with the wearables app installed from the play store and the plugin downloaded from apkmirror. Proximity sensor works fine, its just that samsung gave us a crappy sensor so you have to touch it to your face for it to work.
As for the last issue, its only a problem on voip apps and not on the phone app, it is also being looked into.

Proximity sensor issue is the big issue for this ROM. Actually, Samsung utilised "virtual proximity sensing" in Samsung A72 which is absent in this ROM. In stock ROM proximity sensor just works fine. I have reported this issue several times but the developer is rather angry rather than fixing it. This is the only reason why I am not using this ROM. Other than that the ROM is good. Thanks to the developer. Hooping that any expert developer will solve this problem implementing "virtual proximity sensing".

Firstly, it has been explained to you that the thing samsung does likely cannot be replicated on aosp and it is samsungs fault for giving the device a trashy proximity sensor.

Secondly, just scrolling up and seeing you repeatedly bring up the proximity sensor on this thread, in my pms, and in the telegram group chat doesnt make any developer, including myself have a good time or feel like helping you out.

Thirdly, proximity sensing on this rom and on lineage os work fine, as long as you touch the device to your ear, which has been told to you by multiple people on the telegram group. @Simon1511 and I did see all the reports (hard to miss when you messages us over and over again) and he did improve it by a big margin.

Spamming me does not make me eager to help you and repeatedly annoying me by spamming the same thing makes me, well, feel annoyed. Please continue to use stock rom so the spam in my pms will end. Thanks.

Hi, i have tried to install the rom according to the instructions but failed to adb sideload the rom.
IT says : unable to load rom.zip
I am using the stock android 13 latest update .
It works to install lineage 20.0 but doesn't work for PE.
Any suggestions?

Which recovery are you using? If using TWRP or OrangeFox make sure you are using the latest version.

    Where can i find modules for magisk they are not in the app like they use too
    You can use foxs magisk module manager, magisk deprecated their own repo a while back now.

    Hello! I've been using the Pixel Experience for about 6 months now, and I've never had any issues. However, after the January and February updates, the Tiktok app started switching the name to Emoji or [value removed], the icon started glitching, like this and i can't open it. I think this happened due to some configuration or parameters of these updates, as I already checked the smartphone for viruses, etc. When I reinstall the app, it goes back to normal, but this is tiring because every day it starts to glitch again! Does anyone know if this is a problem with the app or a PE configuration? (Sorry if I'm in the wrong topic). Thank you. 🙂
    Honestly, I have never seen or heard of this issue, please try clean flashing PE.

    Thank you very much, one more thing, if I flash this but I want to come back to one UI. I would be able to use the camera and all that stuff with no problem? (About Knox apps I don't care about Samsung pay and pass)
    Yes you will have no issues with camera working on oneui, just keep in mind thats its not just samsung pass and samsung pay, its also many other samsung apps like secure folder and others.

    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.
