Pixel Experience is an AOSP based ROM, with Google apps included and all Pixel goodies (launcher, wallpapers, icons, fonts, bootanimation)
Our mission is to offer the maximum possible stability and security, along with essential features for the proper functioning of the device
Based on Android 9.0​


Code: 
* Your warranty is now void.
* Should anything happen to your device, I will be there to help you, 
* but I won't be responsible for any damage on your device.
This ROM uses the LineageOS device sources completely. The only thing that I do here is sync (download) all sources and make a new PE build with them. The credit goes to the developers of this device, PE team and LineageOS team. I also sometimes make small changes to it.

This is the Plus version of Pixel Experience​
​


Bugs:
  • Can't take picture with camera and flash on (it's either out of sync or just loses connection to the camera) This is with stock camera only!
  • No "Advanced display" menu in settings

Installation:
  • Make sure you have Oreo bootloader and modem
  • Make a clean flash in TWRP
    And that's it.
    Note: GApps are already included in the ROM (micro variant). If you want an other variant, then flash that.

Download links:
A5 2017 (08/12/2019)
A7 2017 (08/12/2019)

Special thanks to:

Sources used:
Pixel Experience
A5 sources, A7 sources
Exynos 7880 sources & kernel
Proprietary vendor sources

Best 9.0 (or any rom) hands down

I have been trying multiple custom Roms from Nougat, to Oreo, and Pie over the last few days from multiple developers and there are bugs with all of them, some of them make the device unusable. I stumbled across this rom a few hours ago and decided to give it a go and WOW. It literally converts the A520 into a perfect pixel. I'm not finding any bugs so far. This is amazing work. Anyone looking for a rom for your A520, look no further than this!

Thanks man, these reports are really useful. I didn't know the battery saver one. Gps worked for me, so I'd be happy if you could provide a logcat or something to fully describe the situation
If you enable hwc, you'll experience random freezes, that's why I disabled it.
Until I fix the battery saver, you can use the powersaving governor, when I used it, it worked correctly
