Samsung Galaxy A70
The update is now out, changelogs can be found in the first post.
As always, I suggest doing a data backup before upgrading but a "dirty" flash should be fine.
@rttxda

Hey bro please you need to push a fix for it so fast because it's so annoying ,, when talking with someone on a voice call when I use the phone's speaker they start to hear a very loud echo of themselves

I think it's something with the audio fix in this update..

Turn on Dolby Atoms from Settings and your audio should be louder and clearer.
Hi sorry to bother, I installed both things u said and find no difference at all in sound, it's as if nothing changed, do you think you can help me? did I do something wrong or something? I installed through magisk - Modules which is where I think it makes sense for it to be installed. both are correctly installed btw.

Dirty flashed the update, works fine except now google photos cannot edit pictures and a message "This device is not supported and phone calls may not work correctly" appears when starting the phone dialer. I uploaded a screenshot of the message.
Go to the playstore and look for both phone dialer and photos, uninstall both and then update them, it fixed it for me

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.

I Switched back to the build before this one until this gets fixed because it's so annoying but anyway thanks for your help, your efforts and your time

Guys I want to share a quick tip, if you are struggling with battery you might want to check the usage of the pixel launcher, for me it was sucking the battery more than anything, I replaced it was nova launcher and now the battery is much more better

Hello,
I have a problem where I can't flash the recovery on the phone screeen it says "Only official realeased binaries are allowed to be flashed (recovery)"
And odin says "FAIL!" , I have attached the photos below so you can check it out.
I unlocked the bootloader and enabled usb debugging, Don't know what can be causing this so if you know please reply and let me know.

Turn on the phone, connect to WiFi, and double check in dev settings that oem unlock is turned on. In download mode there should be KG STATUS: CHECKING instead of PRENORMAL

Review:
This rom is just perfectly made with no to zero issues(Expect VOLTE T_T).
Fact to be told my stock rom was restraining my device soo much that my Galaxy A70 lost its performance while it was in its stock os.
but after deciding to upgrade to custom os......dude it is smooth as slick!....best performance, i am getting 4 GB of free ram(out of 6GB) while had only 2 or 1 GB of free ram in my stock android.
This rom is just perfect and works like charm!
Every feature works perfectly and the interface is just charming!
Just 1 issue....just 1.......my camera supports 60 fps of video recording on my stock rom but here the camera just disables it and i am only stuck with 30 fps for video recoring.......I tried magisk modlues for installing vendor apps(Samsung camera) but it wont work(Taking abut the samsung camera app). just any way possible to fix my disabled 60 fps in my video recording???
other than that one issue......this android custom os deserves solid 10/10 with no doubt :)
Date of installation : 29 April 2023

    Installed this with ease. Runs a hell lot smoother and snappier than the stock firmware. You think that the option to use the ultra wide cam sensor would be possible in future builds? Always wondered as its only been just the main and the front options for when i use the camera even in 3rd party apps.
    Some gcam ports support the wide cam if I remember correctly, but yeah this is on the potential feature list

    As said earlier there could've been other factors making it unlock. Try again or switch roms, I've seen people have various weird issues with FOD even on stock rom.

    I tried all of this but when I charge it ; there will be a touch to enter the password on lockscreen.
    Probably hardware problem.

    That's actually dealt with and will be published in an update soon :)

    I am still not seeing the option.
    I found it. I had to type in Sims in the search field in settings and it came up.

    Pixel Experience 13 Plus for Galaxy A70

    Code:
    /*
    * 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
    * you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
    */
    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
    What is working:
    - WiFi
    - DualSIM, including calls on both sims
    - Bluetooth
    - NFC
    - Camera
    - Sound
    - GPS
    - Fingerprint scanner/Face unlock
    - Sensors
    - SD cards
    - Double tap to wake
    - Data encryption
    - SELinux enforcing
    - SafetyNet
    - Sound in calls (since that requires clarifying now..)
    - Most other basic stuff

    Known issues:
    - VoLTE/VoWiFi, of course :)

    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
      Code:
      adb sideload <rom-file>
      where <rom-file> is the filename (drag-and-drop the zip file into cmd window).
    --

    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 :)

    Downloads:​

    (Update recovery and clean flash if coming from 2023.01.04!)

    ROM: 2023.05.13

    Recovery: 2023.01.08

    *Please report any bugs that you find before we go official! 🧐

    Status 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! :ROFLMAO:

    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.

    I don't have any time to work on the phone lately but I'll at least push a small update fixing safetynet sometime soon.
