Understood. Thanks for the detail explanation. Waiting for next build. Good job once again. You have revived an old phone which has good specifications but unfortunately company policies stopped the updates but we can still enjoy the goodies in roms like this. And also in the one I replied you didn't tell me about twrp. Thank you.
[ROM][13][UNOFFICIAL][BETA] Pixel Experience 13 Plus
- Thread starter rttxda
- Start date
I added the logcat to my previous message. This happened in the previous build also so I upgraded to the latest (new recovery, full format etc). Any help appreciated as, despite being a LOS fan, I'm sure the lack of SafetyNet when not even rooted is going to trip me up at some point and I was enjoying PE. Thanks.
Counterintuitively you can pass safetynet by rooting with Magisk, enabling zygisk, excluding GMS in Magisk settings, and finally using the MagiskHide Props config module.
Yes I saw that. Thanks. I fear this may cause more issues with other apps though. Right now it's just GPay that I don't really use that often. I used to run root but now don't have the need so like to keep it as it is. Returning to LOS after many years with an A70 has been a bit of a shock.
the ROM is very cool.The work that has been done is very good. The only problems that I have noticed are these. One problem I've noticed with the ROM is that the fingerprint reader doesn't work if grayscale or nightlight is active. and the problem with the speaker is that it is very low. thanks for the attention friend, very good work.
Which odin version are you using? Use 3.14.4.
Are you flashing it in the AP section of odin I believe. Still if there is any error developer will help. I stated the knowledge I have.
Follow the install guide closely. Make sure you've unlocked the bootloader
I am willing to get this rom flashed and I am wondering if it is stable to be used as a daily driver? I feel like the stock rom has been suffocating the device lately and I just don't want to use it anymore, will this be the right successor that will remind of how the phone performed 2 years ago? also wondering if I could backup the stock rom on an external card or something using the PE recovery?
Dolby Atmos isn't working by default, you need to install Audio Compatibility Patch and Audio Modification Library Magisk modules and then enable Dolby, you will get the same audio as stock.
Direct Download for Audio Compatibility Patch
Direct Download for Audio Modification Library
Install from storage through the Magisk app.
Install both and then reboot.
Turn on Dolby Atoms from Settings and your audio should be louder and clearer.
What Profile to use ?
And btw thanks that fixed the reversed speaker button in VoIP Calls (Instagram,etc)

7Status update: the new update is ready, with long awaited FOD dimming, night light FOD, corrected vibration intensity, bluetooth voip calls support, and some rom-side fixes too like Safetynet/Play Integrity + fixed first time setup crash. Unfortunately, my ISP is currently having some trouble and upload speeds are horribly low, so I can't actually upload the build!
I'll update the trees on git soon in case someone would want to build from source, otherwise just be patient.
@eniothecheesy reflash vbmeta and PE recovery, then try again.1
That's the tradeoff we have to put up with currently, since we use oss audio instead of samsung's (that one had problems with Bluetooth calls over voip). I'd suggest using a pair of earphones, or alternatively returning to a previous build which used Samsung's audio at the cost of bluetooth. -

Installation guide:
1. Recommended Samsung firmware version is A705FNXXU5DVK6, but it will work on slightly older versions too.
Make sure that the bootloader is unlocked.
--
2. Boot the phone into download mode. Flash Pixel Experience recovery through AP button in Odin.
Download here.
Note: TWRP will not work! It does not support new A13 roms with the latest changes.
Use PE recovery for the best experience, otherwise don't complain if your phone bootloops.
--
3. Boot into recovery (Vol+ and Power while USB is plugged into PC)
Note: Samsung's OneUI wipes the custom recovery partition and possibly vbmeta while booting so try not to reboot into Android.
--
4. Format data and system in the recovery
--
5. Flash the rom in "Apply update" menu.
There are 2 ways to install:
- On the phone: Copy the zip to a FAT32-formatted microSD card and install it in recovery.
- With a PC: Use Minimal ADB on Windows. Open "cmd-here" and type
where <rom-file> is the filename (drag-and-drop the zip file into cmd window).Code:
adb sideload <rom-file>
6. (Optional) If you want superuser access, flash Magisk in the same way that you flashed the rom.
We now have a working ramdisk so newest Magisk works fine ^^
--
7. Reboot and enjoy

@eniothecheesy reflash vbmeta and PE recovery, then try again.2I have been using this rom for one day and so far it is very fast and smooth, my only concern is that brightness gets changed whenever i unlock my device (I am only using fingerprint) but I enabled adaptive brightness and I am okay with it.
The camera isn't the best, but I am using both versions of GCam PMGC_7.2.014_NonPie_ V7 and GCam_6.1.021 _Advanced_V1.5.190418.1850
They are working, you can take a good pictures with the rear camera and the front one, but don't expect portrait mode to work.
But what I didn't expect, this rom actually solved some of my biggest issues with this device, the proximity sensor was very bad and now it works like a charm, same goes for the touch screen, it was not so responsive in the stock rom, also the mobile network was very very weak in the stock one, talking about battery, it was bad till I enabled power saving mode and now I am getting better battery performance than the stock, keeping in mind that my battery has degraded a lot because I am using this device a lot, so my conclusion so far is that this rom is very stable and a way more better than the stock rom, I have no words to describe my appreciation for the developer and when I have a chance I will donate for him!
