[ROM][UNOFFICIAL][A13.0][sunfish Pixel4a 4G]Rising OS - Android 13 - A pretty new & very customisable ROM

[DiamondJohn]

​

Presenting an UNOFFICIAL build of RisingOS for the Google Pixel 4A 4G [sunfish]

What is RisingOS?
RisingOS is an Open Source Aftermarket Android Operating System that aims to deliver unique and refreshing android experience.
Based on Android 13 | Tiramisu QPR2 | with LineageOS

Screenshots Taken from their GitHub, not of my screen (I personally have yet to flash it!)

What's working?
You tell the rest of us!

Build Variations
This is a Google Apps Build

Installation Notes : FASTBOOT 1 step method, only !!
ROM ZIP should be able to be flashed over any ROM, via the following fastboot method.

However, I *THINK* the last official ROM from google that should of been flashed to the device, is the latest Android 13 firmware.

1. Download the ZIP / ROM & check the MD5
2. reboot into bootloader ( power off device and hold volume down + power, must have unlocked bootloader ) to get into fastboot mode. NOT fastbootD
3. Flash the ROM with the following command ( May remove -w flag to save user data , IF you are updating a previous installation)
risingOS-v1.1-Babylon-202306171229-sunfish-UNOFFICIAL-DiamondJohn-FASTBOOT.zip
NB: to rollback to previous version: fastboot update risingOS-v1.1-Babylon-202306021421-sunfish-CORE-COMMUNITY-updateimages.zip
4. Start First Boot. Maybe give it6 a minute oir three to "settle".

I would not. Its destined to fail.

BUT, you can try, and if it doesn't do so well, restart and flash again with the wipe.

Heads up. I have a "first draft" crDroid build....

DOH! I rebuilt it and flashed it. It booted, with all the goodies, EXCEPT its a de-googled version of crDroid! anyone interested in this build?

I searched while out, and there is magisk module to install google services & apps.

 

[DiamondJohn]

Since crDRoid is in holding, I installed this ROM on my spare phone. I got frustrated that the QS Header image was by a number. Attached is a zip with the images showing their numbers.

CrDroid is fantastic. I have it on a Mi 9se and is by far the best custom rom i've ever used (on any phone)

Is better to install this Rom or waiting CrDroid?

Which ROM is a matter of preference, and also now your trust in my ability to get it running. I have a de-googled version on offer, and no-one took me up on it.

I did a search today, and I actually found an OFFICIAL crDroid that also didnt have google (ie what no-one wants). The official builder would have inside knowledge and access to crDroid devs. So its not going to be simple, and their docs for building aren't as good as others.

However, I would be running crDroid, if/when I have a choice. I am running A11 so A13 is overdue.

 

[DiamondJohn]

OT

ummmm... finished a new crDroid build a few minutes ago, and its just now downloading all updated apps from the Playstore! ie IT NOW HAS GOOGLE SERVICES! I was typing in my last response AS it was booting.

I'll start a new thread maybe tomorrow. Right now, I've got a new ROM to play with...

Still waiting for CrDroid!

Still waiting for CrDroid!

Thats dangerously close to an ETA...

Although your post almost made me delay it further... But for others, here it is!

[ROM][UNOFFICIAL][A13.0][sunfish Pixel4a 4G] crDroid v9.7 with GApps

*** Disclaimer I am not responsible for any damage you made to your device You have been warned crDroid is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device, while adding a lot of eye-candy (ie features)...

And after using it, I changed the title of this thread.

Dont get me wrong, this ROM is still good. Its a personal preference.

Hello, thank you and teams for big efforts.

Does this ROM file have persist.img in it? Because i need this in order to fix my Pixel 4a, resulted "No valid slot to boot." after i removed persist.img.

For your support, thanks.

Sorry, I dont understand what you are talking about. Dont know all the partitions offhand.

However, what I have created / provided is a FASTBOOT flash image, which has most if not all partitions in it. However, when I open the zip, I dont see anything named "persist". Have you tried flashing stock top maybe bring it back to life? I dont see anything named "persist" in stock either.

 

[DiamondJohn]

@GreatUserName I just had a look, and inside a zip inside the stock firmware lies a fastboot image like I provide, and it too has no partition named persist. But it also has the bootloader and radio

 

[DiamondJohn]

can somebody give me a copy of the app APK for ExactCalculator?

And what is the name of the default music player?

 

[Marcia8246]

Try to flash the rom with ADB, but still impossible to install... ADB failed partition not found...
