Thank you so much, I've been waiting for PE Rom for so long :laugh:
I'm downloading, and have been wondering if this Rom includes gcam?

Skip everything in setup til' u get to system. And then continue setup.

P.s In next update it will be fixed, don't worry, but for now do as I said.
The problem is I can't do anything it just says pixel setup stopped

Ok I solved it by flashing an older version op Gapps

Thanks for the rom
One silly question, is it possible to have Pixel experience without including gapps?
Just because gapps(even Pico) slows down this phone so badly

Pros an efficient RAM management, I can open more apps without near full-usage (better than other PIE distros for J5lte), the oc does not heat the cell, well customizable UI. The internal memory usage is very good.
Cons Music Player? Audio FX? Radio? Light sensor does not really operate (as other PIE distros)

I've used Bootleggers, RR, and Viper. This distro is better when you consider the performance, but lags other items.
I still don't try Kraken.

Excuse my english

For playing music you can use Google Play Music app.
Audio FX isn't officially in Pixel Experience..
Radio - yes it doesn't work for now - but soon it will be fixed.

How different "Light sensor operate" in other pie roms?
Which items lags?
