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. 🙂

Help please.
The A52 4g is my first Samsung and I like it but I come from a Poco X3 with pixel experience and I just loved this rom (one UI is fine but pixel rom is superior imo).
So I saw this and Im planning to flash but I read some things that make me doubt if it is worth to do.

1. This "Knox" thing.
I saw that there is some kind of security stuff that detects when you flash a non official rom and it broke something in the chip that can not be restored NEVER (sorry if I'm wrong, is what I understood).
What is this ? Is a big deal? Do I need it for my daily basis ? What apps need Knox to work?

2. Samsung implementation of voLTE/voWiFi doesnt work.
Again, what is this? Does this means that I won't be able to use 4g data?

3.Camera
Gcam is great but there are some functions on stock camera that I use (video stabilization, 64mp, ultrawide)... On MIUI phones you can install anxcamera to use this features, theres something similar on Samsung or i won't be able to use this things anymore?

So thats it, I'm not planning to change this phone in a while and I don't have the guarantee anymore, if anyone wants to know. Is it worth to flash? Anyone had experience flashing this phone? You lose important features or is not that important? I really love pixel rom but i dont want to left my phone unusable

1) Some samsung apps like samsung pay and samsung pass will never work again after knox is tripped, these apps dont exist any way on this custom rom

2) 4g data works fine, volte(voice over lte) doesnt work, so it will use 2g or 3g during calls

3) Some camera features like 64mp and slow mo work only with stock camera even on the stock rom, and hence those will not work, and there is no way to get the stock camera on aosp

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)

how is the audio in this ROM? I tried to use Lineage but the poor audio quality on the smartphone made me go back to stock...

Hey, PE+, anyone having issues with adaptive brightness? When the light is strong the screen goes black. If it is too sunny, the brightness goes to 0.
Sometimes while I'm in a dark room and some white themed page appears (example: Tiktok Profiles) the brightness goes to the maximum and then goes down. I think the sensor detects the brightness of the screen, thinking it's the sun or a lamp. This does not disturb my use too much, but sometimes it bothers me because the brightness is too high. Even so, just lower the brightness in the settings and the automatic brightness returns to normal.

I've been using Latest Update for a few days now and I have no desire to go back to stock. Its construction, in my opinion, is better than Samsung's. Congratulations on this incredible work!

On my OneUI 5.0, I quite often experience freezes and sags in the animation, for example, when exiting the program using gestures or buttons or when I opening the notification curtain, they sometimes slow down a lot, despite the fact that I have optimized my system as much as possible in all possible ways.

I would also like to ask how things are in free RAM, because on OneUI I always have 700 MB of 4 GB free, although nothing is running in the list of background tasks, only the most important.

And yet, on OneUI, there are often brakes when taking screenshots, that is, I will delay the buttons for a screenshot, and it will be taken only after 5 seconds, but after that it will begin to function normally and take screenshots instantly.

This, it seems, is the whole list of all the shortcomings of OneUi

Thaaaaanks ; )

    Hey guys! I have some exciting news to share with you.

    As @Simon1511 said HERE, the both of us have been hard at work on a call audio fix for a while now, and we are finally ready to make it public

    New PE builds with this fix have been pushed now, along with a few other things that are highlighted below
    • Set FOD color to white (as on stock ROM)
    • The screen now doesn't get darker when using FOD but instead keeps its brightness (fixes FOD on AOD failing)
    • Prevent the screen from jumping to high brightness (and getting stuck there) after unlocking with fingerprint
    And as always, please keep reporting bugs and inform me about possible improvements.
    2
    The build is from May 13th, so I was wondering if the fix is in this build or if it will be in the next.
    It is in the last few builds, but as I said earlier, it's not perfect. I'm still searching for a better way of making it work.

    Does the removal of Dolby affect the ability to play Atmos tracks on Apple Music?
    In my experience, apple music has never shown the toggle for dolby atmos audio on aosp.

    Hi, what steps did you take to pair the watch?
    My device is not the same but I am not able to pair my watch. The app works fine but pairing stuck at Google terms after Bluetooth connection. It keeps loading infinite. Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Download the galaxy manager app and the galaxy watch plugin from apkmirror, dont use any patched versions, it should work.

    Awesome, looking forward to it.

    * Your warranty is now void.
    * I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
    * thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
    * do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
    * before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if

    */

    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.
