This is just a suggestion and a question at the same time, please do not misunderstand but...

Would not you like to have for example the data speed indicator in the status bar? The long press power bottom to toggle the torch? Maybe swipe up gestures? Battery percentage inside the battery icon?

Only add certain truly useful things that would make the experience of this fascinating ROM more enriching. In my opinion the most stable...

Maybe the development team listens to my prayers...It would be great...!!!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Incogn:
There are plenty of AOSP roms with functions you listed. This is Pixel experience, its not about having most customisation or stuff like that. Heck, there is even a Pixel experience extended rom which includes options like you listed... Just use that one if its customisation you are after.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] erinyojan:
I know there is a lot! And I have installed all of them! But there is something that they always need...

And I repeat (if you didn't understand) don't misunderstand...

It's just my opinion and would be the best if you respect it...

Actually, Pixel Experience Oreo has features like network speed indicator. It's possible that he'll add it back.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Incogn:
I suggest you read OP again. I repeat myself, this rom is not about features. You are allowed to have your opinion, but that doesnt make you right :). There is literally a rom you asked for, same Pixel Experience just with extra customisation. Its called Pixel Experience extended. If developer adds everything to this rom, whats the difference from PE extended then? The way i see it this rom is stability and bugfree first, then features.

Network location (by cell tower) is being cached too long with this ROM. I don't know if it's a bug in the ROM or in Pie.

When I am in a train with GPS not working, it should display estimated position by using cell towers and this should be updated frequently when running Google Maps.

But it caches this information for hours it seems. That means, on Google Maps, my current location is unknown and it displays the cached location with a grey dot (instead of blue with a large circle).

I can debug this with this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nstudio.locationinfo

Yes, you have reason
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Cirra92:
I guess you didn't understand him, rather than opposite. This rom is meant to be as close as possible to that of Pixel devices (well a name is self explanatory) which also means no extra features no matter how useful they are, if the Pixel doesn't have it, neither will this rom, it is as simple as that.

Adding anything besides what is present in Pixel's rom is defeating the purpose of "Pixel Experience". The PE Extended rom which is suggested to you is literally updated from sources of this rom but with extra features, so that is actually a rom you are searching for.

Bluetooth concerns

Hi,

Anyone can try bluetooth?

I'm testing that right now and so far it is the same behaviour as when I tested using LOS15.1 a while ago: I am unable to complete a simple 2.80MB picture from the PC to the PE phone.

I do have windows10 and the dell wireless 380 bluetooth 4.0. (latest drivers from 2016: Version: 12.0.1.750 ,A03)

The transfer stopped at 77%, although I admit, while it was transferring I tried sending 3 other pictures at once (I selected the 3 new pictures and sent to bluetooth device).

After a few minutes stuck at 77%, I cancelled the transfer at the phone level.

After that I am unable to resent any file.

I even removed the pairing,re-did it, etc...

The phone shows the PC as connected device (currently connected). The PC see the phone as I can sent it the file. It just "Bluetooth file transfer not completed" (windows was unable to transfer some files...).

Last time workaround was to reboot the phone...

I'm going to check logcat. And maybe see if there's any BT updates for the PC components...

Edit: It seems that if you try to send another picture while a transfer is in progress, it completely crashes everything. The current in progress transfer stops, and the new file transfer is rejected.

After that, the phone is unable to connect to the PC using bluetooth, the button connect is blue, it shows connecting for like 5 seconds, then it reverts to "connect" and is not connected. When that worked before the crash, it properly connects and show "connected".

Edit2: Adding logcat

In fact night site mode in GCam also working to a large extent.

Pitch dark photo s not working like in pixel3 , may be due to poor signal processing + sensor as compared to pixel phones.ie pitch dark photos in night mode are totally black

Hey guys. Sorry for this noob inquiry again.

So I've been reading guides on how to flash a custom rom for my whyred. I read that the steps to do so is like every other phone's, by wiping data, cache, system etc and flash rom gapps magisk etc.

Now my question is that based on my readings in this thread and other pie rom threads, some of you are mentioning that you wipe the "vendor" and mount certain things like "mtp". Which step would best work in order to flash this rom and obtain root?

I'm on MIUI global 10.0.2 anyways with unlocked bootloader and latest orangefox recovery installed. Also im NOT encrypted. Thank you all!

I like it better than quickcharge on MIUI because the phone is colder when fast charging. This should help battery life in the long term.

Erm sorry what? I didnt adress you nor are you a moderator, so stop or get out of here yourself.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] htchd2sucks:
In recovery, option called "wipe" you wipe everything but USB and micro SD. (That includes VENDOR).

Mounting in MTP is the simplest way to have your files in your phone, by transfering them from your computer to the pc. MTP works at recovery level too, so you can simply mount in TWRP or recovery, copy the files from your PC to that phone folder on your PC which uses MTP.

To flash root, you install MAGISK after flashing the PE rom.

So it's wipe, reboot phone and mount as MTP, transfer PE rom and Magisk zip, install them, reboot into system, and configure your new android system.

Issues related to sound

Pixel experience is currently the best rom and I'm using this rom since it's first build. Never faced a single issue.

But in recent builds I'm having problems related to sound via headphone jack.

1. The sound has noise sometimes but when I replug headphones one or two times the sound is clear.

(Not experienced this on earlier builds)

2. Music player skips songs frequently on it's own.

3. Some songs don't play at all and their play time is shown zero.

All these songs are present in my internal storage.

Please solve my problems I listen to songs most of the time.

I also installed the latest arnova modified gcam and it force closes every time i open it. I disabled the module now and everything's fine but i also want to use the gcam without borking apps like fb and messenger too. Thanks
