Redmi Note 8
Hi,
After January update I have few problems.

- The most annoying - music volume level doesn't go back up after notification, so I have to stop/play the music to get it back up to normal level.

- Player in notifications changed from Android 13 player to Android 12 one (from the one with big play/pause button on left to all controls at bottom) for many apps (for example Deezer).

- If you set battery graph to usage in last 24 hours. The graph type changes but still shows since last full charge.
1. I don't experience this on plus and standard version.

2. Mine's still got A13 player on Notification

3. On standard, it updates every 2 hrs of usage. On plus version it shoes mine accurately.

(I did clean flash on both installation)

Can't install this new update PixelExperience_Plus_ginkgo-13.0-20230108-0931-OFFICIAL.zip via ota. After reboot opens recovery and says no found room or something like that and try to instal itself load rom to data/system_updates. But I can't find this way and need instal with adb?

After install Pixel Experience 13 from January build Redmi Note 8T not starting anymore with any Pixel Experience builds - only LineageOS 18.1 but after magisk install system not starting anymore. What I should do?
Tell me someone, I can wipe "vendor" partition? I was think that this partition cannot be wiped.

I have few suggestions to devs for next builds:

1. Add a working MIUI camera app(ANXcam) or optimized GCAM for this device.
2. Add an option to remove until xx.xx time for battery on quick settings menu
3. There could be some optimization about quick settings generally, some texts are behaving weird in some languages.
4. Add an FM radio app, yes it's not used much but it can come in handy for some situations.
5. With the latest A13 build, no longer can connect some enterprise wifi networks properly. I tested with college wifi which is authenticated with TTLS-PAP, it's buggy. I mean after the first connection it can't connect afterwards. I have to change the certificate setting to trust on first use every single time after disconnect. But it's inconvenient.
6. Fix the "charging rapidly" text showing even if normal non-fast capable charger used. This was the problem in older builds and still exists.
7. Separate the charging led light and low battery led light setting.
8. If adaptive brightness setting configured to set brightness once when screen is turned on, when someone's calling screen becomes pitch black if the phone was in pocket. It shouldn't change brightness if screen is woke by a call, in my opinion at least.
9. Status bar icons seems buggy. Whenever new notifications recieved, the icons slide to right from clock. It looks weird after some time.

I'm justing come to give the suggestion about the PE for ginkgo to come with the ANXCamera installed (which I never used personally, need some tests) and the previous comment said that. If ANXCamera does not please, the user can just deactivate, like the current camera app.
I don't know how much work this can be
Anyway, thanks for your efforts @DarkJoker360

Why a certified device. Everything was fine until today. Reinstalling the firmware does not help. Root there is no.

With the latest February update SafetyNet Test now passes.
Thanks Dev's for sorting this out.
The only issue I had with this update was with the Phone app which had to be set back to factory and then updated via Goole Play. For a three year old phone (8T) this software is great.

Dear DarkJoker360,

I hope this message finds you well. I recently noticed that your crdroid ROM has fixed fast charging for Chinese variants. As a user of PixelExperience, I was wondering if you plan to update this fix in PixelExperience as well?

I appreciate the effort you put into improving the user experience for those who use custom ROMs. Your work does not go unnoticed and is highly valued by the community.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Best regards,
RootinTootinAndroidHacker

Is there any FM Radio app I can install?
Also is it possible to XIaomi Tweaks to be included in the next update of the ROM?

    Hey folks,

    installed PixelExperience on my old Redmi Note 8... and it ain`t not bad... actually it`s damn pretty good!

    Is it possible to revive an "old" 2019 Android phone, especially when Xiaomi decided it will not get MIUI 13?

    Well it is, and with Android 13 it`s flying. The only thing I had to add on top is the BSG gCam as the stock gcam inside was not operating so good.

    I also compared it with my S22 Ultra, of course they dont share so much similarities, but it was important to just see where the Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 stands compared to a "modern" flagship Android phone, also running on Android 13 (One UI 5).

    Enjoy!

    @DarkJoker360 PE's website says that you're no longer a mantainer, is that right?

    If so, thank you very much for your hard work all this time. You've been doing a fantastic work here, and this scene owes you a lot.
