[ROM][13][POLARIS] Pixel Experience [AOSP][2023/01/19]

[Lillo85]

When using phone in darkness/low light environments, and with automatic and adaptive brightness enabled the screen wakes up with very low brightness (only a little portion of the brightness setting bar) and is almost unusable until you raise the level.
It's not too annoying in complete darkness but it wakes up with low brightness too when the room light is not too bright (in the morning/sunset).

Disabling adaptive brightness doesn't help.

On sunlight / normally lit room it wakes up on an usable brightness level (close to the middle of the brightness bar).

I've had a similar problem, I fixed it uncheck this.

I have that unchecked and it still does the same.
I think the issue is the light sensor reading 0 lux when there's light in the room albeit only a little.
Just fyi this issue only happens on this ROM, LOS18.1 doesn't do this.
Either fix sensor readings or raise default minimum screen brightness.
On adaptive brightness, I think it's not working well because every time the screen is dim I raise the brightness level manually, but it does not seem to remember my settings.

Since the last rom update, my Google Messages chat features have been stuck in conneting.
After wiping the application data, it went back to the good old infinite "setting up...".

I finally found a workaround for this. Turn on wifi and off mobile data, disable and reenable chat features and it should connect.

Now that I'm reading this, I probably had the same issue earlier, I just didn't dig deep enough to get to the sensor readings. In the end I solved it with a very simple Tasker task. When the light is dim, I disable adaptive brightness and set brightness to a fixed value of my liking. This basically overrides the minimum, as brightness level can never go lower than my set value. When the readings go back up, I re-enable adaptive brightness so that the screen can auto-adjust as normal. This has been working fine for many months now.

Brilliant solution, I'm going to try this, thanks!

Unbelievable that it's the 6th major release since this phone came out and we're still going. Thanks jjpprrrr for keeping it alive!

Using rom a few hours, seems everything works fine at this moment

Tried to flash 13 a couple of times, but adb sideload of the zip file failed, showing
assert failed: update_dynamicc_partitions( ...)
ERROR: recovery: Error in /sideload/package.zip (status 1).

please help. From the same connection with the same cable, I can flash 12 again successfully.

I did not installed yet. But I think you need to do a partition format before you use sideload

• Note: I just realized that the official build is missing a script that bootstraps the dynamic partition. For now, please sideload this unofficial build first, and then sideload the official one. This will ensure the dynamic partition metadata is created correctly.

Thanks! So sideload unofficial one, no wipe, then sideload office one immediately afterwards?

How did you flashed it? simply flash pe recovery, factory reset, and adb sideload?

Does this mean that 12.1 is now discontinued or you'll be updating both parallel until 13 gets out if beta? Cheers

PE 12.1 is discontinued. The download page is very clear.

PE 12.1 is discontinued. The download page is very clear.

LOL, thanks. This might come to you as a shock, but people don't usually visit download pages for a good read, only when they download things - hence the name.

Maybe it's worth a comment on the forum when something major gets discontinued.
