Honestly, I've had the rom for two weeks now and it's completely stable and functional. A big leap from MIUI with android 12x, I don't think it's worth waiting knowing that when the next version comes out you can upgrade.

If someone needs Pixel Experience Plus functionality, it is worth waiting.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] sthones:
The upgrade from 12 to 13 sounds pretty simple, using those steps.

The part that's still unclear to me is, is it an in-place upgrade that leaves all my apps intact, or does the system end up with a plain OS and I need to install all apps from scratch?

jjpprrrr's official documentation talks about "partition scheme has been switched", which sounds a little like data-loss. it also asks to "Format data/factory reset", and that would delete all apps, right? is that steps not required?

Thread cleaned of all malware accusations and replies.

I find it a bit curious that this rom thread has existed for 5 months with 1,800+ posts without a single complaint about malware until yesterday when I also encountered

another member posting the same accusations in another thread, who was promptly removed from XDA for rules violations. Therefore, out of respect to the Developer, I suggest we return to

"On Topic" discussion without further accusations or rudeness towards each other.

Thank you for your cooperation, and a pleasant day to all.

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] sthones:
Hi,

with the new Android 13 version, I see a lot of intermittent reboots. sometimes even the reboot itself stopping after the google logo, when the flying dots create the 'G' logs, it gets stuck and reboots. sometimes the OS comes up to the login screen and is blocked (can't unlock) and instead it reboots immediately.

and even if it allows me to log in, it typically reboots within a few minutes?

so for me, the system is unusable. is that just me? or is there something broken in general in the Android 13 version? I wonder, because the other reports above haven't reporting anything bad about that new version.

With the 'partitioning changes' that happened in the 'unofficial' image installation, is there any danger in reverting back to the Android 12 version? any special steps to take?

Can i dirty (apply update from PE recovery) flash from previous PE13 beta without factory reset?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] lenski:
First of all: thanks a lot for your efforts jjpprrrr! I really appreciate it!

I have been running on the PE13 BETA for the last month (or two) and it runs really smoothly.

However one issue that popped up with the BETA is power consumption. It seems not optimized.. When I run my podcast app in the background (BT on, display off) it really drains my battery much more than it used to. I have much more evenings now that I do need to connect the power cord...

Does todays OFFICIAL release have power optimizations w.r.t the BETA? Or do you have plans to look into this soon?

Thanks a lot :-)

I'm a little bit confused! You say, it is'nt possible upgrading from android 12 builds. Formatting data is required. On the other hand I found a description on PEwiki where an upgrade is beeing described Upgrade to a higher Android version (e.g. Android 11 -> Android 12). So what is right, what will work?

btw: I'm still using latest PE-version based on Android 12 and I'm realy satisfied with it! Great job!

After first day of usage:

- Battery consumption much higher than latest pe12 (at 7pm I had about 20% battery Left, on pe13 5% left)

- Pixel Launcher sometimes lagging (about 5fps on home screen, after launching any app runs normally). Screen record in attachment

- When connecting to Bluetooth headset, some apps (telegram, and sometimes Whatsapp) stops working.

- On bubbles screen flickering when typing

Anything else work's fine
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] jjpprrrr:
Works fine here.

1. Usually upon the initial flash, a lot of things are still setting up in the background. I would suggest holding on to it for a few more days and then observe the power consumption.

2. That is a known issue on the launcher side. It is also happening to other PE devices. Not sure if Google screwed something up in their launcher. Clearing the app data of the launcher should fix it temporarily, but it may come back later.

3. Can you capture some logcat when app crashes?

4. That is mentioned in the known issues section.

Forget about that google gms waking up the device, it wasn't google or the ROM's fault, it was some crappy MicroG version i had installed, it was causing the device to always stay active, and worse is that it happened to me before, but I did install it again when updating the ROM and forgot that it was that buggy.

Anyway, i'm out home with a full charge and that app uninstalled, will report the battery usage.

I can't edit files in /vendor anymore, both from recovery and from Android. I can mount /vendor partition rewritable, but it is 100% full and gives error: not enough space, and any pushed file becomes blank.

how can I edit /vendor/etc/fstab.qcom to remove forced encryption (fileencryption to encryptable) and factory wipe to disable encryption?

I can't edit other files in /vendor such as build.prop to add system properties, like debug.hwui.renderer=skiavk and others that I want.

Any news about the battery usage?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] tOz666:
Yes, sadly I don't keep recent screenshots now from BetterBatteryStats, but I observed, sometimes the device doesn't go to deep sleep and it's active (screen off) all the time until I reboot. Don't know what causes this though.

When it's not consuming battery like a maniac (about 6% per hour, always active screen off) it performs fairly well, about 2% battery per hour.

If I encounter the device in the always active state I don't know what else to check besides BBS. any ideas?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] pr498te:
Oh, that doesn't sound realy good! I'm not a realy experienced user, so I'm afraid, I can't help you! I'm still on Android12 and very satisfied with this version! As long as there are no improvements I will stick with this version!
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] howpathetic:
I am experiencing battery drain too. I am sleeping per day 8 hours, in that time the phone discharges by approx. 50%. So I replaced the battery in the phone. Now it discharges by 31% per night. Thats approx 4% per hour in "deep sleep".

I do not use any rogue apps nor modified system packages. I do not use any games beside two.

I will actively cooperate on this issue if you need more info. I am C++ developer, I know Linux env, I know bash/python. I can gather every info/log you need from the device.

Edit: I am now trying the suggested advice in post #1,856 I will report tomorrow. But I do not know how this would help, I am not using the search bar in the laucher, maybe it is indexing way too much in the background?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] jjpprrrr:
Yes, that is what I suspect was happening. If that doesn't help, see if you can figure out what is waking the device so frequently. BetterBatteryStats should still work pretty well in this case.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] howpathetic:
It did not help. Again 30-32% per night (8 Hours). So I bought BetterBatteryStats and granted permissions via adb, so I will report tomorrow again.

Hi,

just FYI, I have switched to PE 13 Plus about two weeks ago, and I'm happy with that new version since then.

on my system, there is no excessive battery drain - it's as good as it was on PE 12.

so I'm really happy with that version.

The deep sleep time and the signal strength look good to me.

I see that you are using Zepp Life. BBS didn't record too many wakelocks from it, but from my past experience, it may increase idle drain by a noticeable amount. Perhaps try again without it?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] howpathetic:
Without Zepp Life the drain over night for 7 hours was 21%. That's 3% per hour. I do not have BBB log now. It's better than 4% but I wish there was a way how to find out what causing this.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] howpathetic:
@jjpprrrr Well this is interesting. After entering airplane mode before sleep. The drainage is about 5 % after 7:30 hour.

The day before I tried to disable bluetooth and WiFi and it did not help. And the airplane mode disables WiFi, bluetooth and mobile data right? Could it be coming from the mobile data ? Will try next night.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] jjpprrrr:
It could be anything. Some apps give up on constantly polling for updates if they see that airplane mode is enabled.

Hi Guys, I've just updated to PE 13 - thanks @jjpprrrr. I've noticed that in PE 13, Pixel Launcher's app drawer was very choppy. Cleared the app cache and it came alright. However, the next day it was choppy again. At the same time it consumed almost 40% of the battery! Clearing cache fixes it every time, but the issue returns after a few hours. Last night I've switched to Nova Launcher and the issue is now gone, so it's definitely something to do with the launcher, not the rom itself. Has anyone experienced this or it's just me? I'd love to switch back to the built-in Pixel Launcher if there's a way. Cheers
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] jjpprrrr:
That's a known issue with the Pixel launcher. It appears randomly across different devices, not just on our polaris.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] dRm42:
Ah cool, thanks. I'll just wait it out then.

I've read similar complaints on a couple of forums, but some of them were relatively old entries. Someone mentioned that turning on or off Force GPU Rendering solved it, but that doesn't seem to be in developer options anymore in Android 13.
