Hello everyone, I noticed a problem with the poweramp audio player, Hi-Res Audio Output stopped working on the latest PixelOS Update, what could be the reason for this? On PixelOS (06/05/2022) working fine, clean flash doesn't help =(

Hello,

First of all thanks for this amazing rom, been using it for months with no issue.

My phone runs on version PixelOS_ginkgo-11.0.20211002-0744

Clearly its an old version and it runs android 11.

My recovery is Twrp, i cant remember which version.

What are the steps i need to take to update to the latest release of yours? without losing my data.

Do i have to change recovery before everything or update it?( im sure its version is as old as the version of my rom is)

Do i have to make a clean installation or a dirty flash will work?

Thanks!

PixelOS Update! (18/06/2022)

PixelOS - ginkgo/willow

PixelOS is an AOSP based ROM, with Google apps included and all Pixel goodies. We aim to provide an experience similar to Google Pixel phones with numerous performance enhancements and a small amount of useful additional features.

pixelos.vercel.app

OTA Update pushed for users on previous builds.

Changelogs:

• Switched to vulkan UI renderer

• Switch back to stock adreno stack (WAIPIO adreno stack caused some games to crash)

• Merged July Security Patch

• Fixed issues with a few banking apps (such as HDFC) detecting root access

• Extended Applock support to various system apps

• Added optional Daily data usage in expanded quicksettings

• Updated per-app volume drawable to match other system elements

• Improvements in statusbar icon paddings

• Added toggles for vibration icon and old style mobile data indicators in Icon manager

• Made battery & clock clickable again in quick statusbar header

• Updated translations (thanks to everyone who contributed)

• Squashed some bugs (in real life too while making this build).

Note: TWRP now supports data decryption on Android 12 based roms, OTA updates will continue to work with it. I personally recommend flashing it, will drop link below.

Edit: Updated TWRP link, fixed sideload and mounting partition issues.

[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Schwarzie2k:
well i copied the new twrp on my phone, installed it to my recovery in twrp, and then the fun began: adb sideload isnt working anymore, i then pushed the new Pixel OS Version onto the phone, cleared cache and dalvik and used install and now im in a constant bootloop to TWRP.

Any ideas that DONT involve clean flashing my device which will cost me at the very least several hours or rather days to fully restore all data?

When trying to start sideload i get a red error code, same as when i try to reflash twrp:

Android Rescue Party trigger! Possible Solution?

Either

1. Wipe Caches and or

2. format data and or

3. clean flash your Rom

the reported Problem is

-- reason=set policy_failed:/data/vendor

I tried installing dfe (which i used so far) because maybe my TWRP is just broken and well didnt update fully and therefore doenst support encryption (or sincei used dfe before i couldnt use this new feature in which case i would have liked a warning) butr all i can do is push it to my phone and then it instaqlls with basic features aka encryption ON. when using sideload in the past to install it promted me with a text menu where i could choose to disable encryption. any way to maybe install it via terminal?

EDIT:

no idea why, it now suddenly went past the twrp bootloop and i get the normal G with the loading bar beneath iot. Just now for 15min straight. and going. May i get my hopes up that this is normal and the phone is encrypting? Or would it say something else and its now in a different bootloop?

EDIT2

Ok stopped it. Went into fastboot and flashed the recovery with an older version of TWRP (the latest directly from the Team Win pages) then sideload worked again, i could flash dfe and i now have running system and a few more gray hairs.

Sound picker app is bugy. İ am choosing sound but i cant hear the sound. Pls can you fix it ?
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] aourelsefa:
In a response to my own Question.

The steps i took to come from an old version of this rom that had android 11.

1) Updated TWRP to the latest version provided on the thread.

2) Wiped cache, davlik, data, metadata, vendor ( couldnt find system to wipe for some reason)

3) Flashed latest EU firmware for ginkgo from the link provided on the thread.

4) Flashed the latest ROM version

5) Reboot aaaaaaaand bootloop hahahha

6) Rebooted again in recovery and flashed force encrypt

7) Reboot system - aaaand everything working perfectly

I hope this helps anyone that has the same question.

Rom looks good and smooth, battery optimization from the old android 11 rom to this rom is absolutely fantastic, my gingko works like its brand new.

The only thing i dont like its the camera app, feels quite laggy in daylight ( not in the sun, normal daylight) but im not a guy who takes constantly photos so its a no problem for me.

Also a bug maybe? i work all the time with mobile hotspot, so yesterday i was using it and once i went too far from the connected device in a point it disconnected from poor signal, the phone rebooted by itself, i did the same thing again to be sure and again the second time same thing happened. so basically when i want to get too far from the connected device i just turn hotspot off and then i turn it back on when i need it.

Hi, little question, I'm currently running PE+ 11, so i should already have the latest Android 11 firmware installed on my Note 8T, now i want to flash Pixel OS, it's anyway mandatory to flash the latest firmware before flashing the ROM?
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Evil_Hunter:
If you want your wireless networks to work then yes

If you move from one custom rom to another then you have to do a clean flash

And if you do clean flash then flashing firmware is mandatory

[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Schwarzie2k:
Since i had the same problem you had: could you still sideload with the TWRP from this Thread?

If not how did you manage to install DFE without forced encryption? When i install it via sideload i get to choose, when i install after copying the dfe file onto my phone it installs with default values aka Forced Encryption on.

As written in my post, i fixed that by downgrading to the latest official TWRP for the Note 8.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] aourelsefa:
By sideload you mean pushing it through adb from command prompt?

sorry but i dont understand fully what exactly you mean, if you explain a little more i might be able to help you :)

The latest TWRP provided on the thread is working perfectly, the rom just couldnt boot without flashing DFE, i just rebooted in recovery, ( in my exact steps i mounted system before i flashed dfe, dont know if it matters )

yea i just rebooted in recovery, flashed dfe, POWER OFF, then power on, i didnt choose reboot system, again not sure if it matters but thats exactly the steps i took.

I know this is off topic but I have Redmi Note 8 (Gingko) (Indian Model) running everything stock and want to install PixelOS on it because MIUI is very buggy.

Few things to clear out first... I don't want my data to be decrypted since I have to use banking apps.

This is my first time trying a custom ROM.

I know how to unlock the bootloader though, after unlocking the bootloader,

I have to connect it to a PC in Fastboot mode... install a recovery

I don't want to install TWRP as it is really complicated for me as of now.

Will installing PixelExperience Recovery using fastboot and then Flashing the actual PixelOS 12 build do the job because it is a PixelExperience Recovery but I am installing PixelOS

Secondly, if at all I am able to install this ROM, it is mentioned that you have to flash latest firmware can that be done using PixelExperience Recovery.

Lastly, as my model is indian variant it will support fast charging, safetynet and videvine L1 out of the box right ? Also is miui camera included and works properly ?

Suggest a method that doesn't involve TWRP, Rooting. Using ADB and Fastboot only.

Please help it is really urgent !!!!

Long story short

So yesterday I tried to flash PixelOS recovery. Here are the steps I followed after successfully unlocking the bootloader :

Removed screen lock --> Logged out of Google and MI account both

Then I double checked if USB Debugging was enabled (yes, it was !). --> OEM Unlocking was also enabled of course as the bootloader was unlocked.

Connected my Redmi Note 8 (ginkgo) to the PC --> typed in "adb devices" in platform tools folder CMD window and my device got listed.

Just to be sure I booted the device into fastboot mode (volume down + power) --> checked "fastboot devices" --> it also showed my device --> I was good to proceed.

Then I copied the firmware, PixelExperience recovery and the actual ROM over to Platform tools folder.

While still in fastboot, and phone connected to PC --> I typed "fastboot flash recovery" followed by the path of the recovery in quotes. (Note that for simplicity, I had renamed it to just "recovery already").

CMD showed flashed successfully.

Then I typed "fastboot boot" followed by the path of the recovery in quotes. --> Redmi logo kept showing for a long time.

I disconnected the phone from PC --> pressed the power button turned it off --> Then tried to boot to recovery (Volume Up + Power).

I was greeted with "The system has been destroyed" message --> Turned of the phone --> Rebooted normally and it turned on to MIUI

Then again I booted to recovery and PixelOS recovery wasn't there but stock MIUI recovery was there.

In fact I tried flashing the recovery multiple times, it shows success message but there is still stock recovery. (I have also tried disconnecting just after recovery flash and manually booting but that too doesn't work). What am I missing here. Anyone please help I am stuck

Apparently, in Redmi Note 8 (MIUI_V12.5.1.0.RCOINXM), PixelOS Recovery was causing errors.

So I flashed OrangeFox and it worked great 😁
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] areymodiji:
As instructed, I used the latest global firmware (firmware_ginkgo_miui_GINKGOGlobal_V12.5.2.0.RCOMIXM_75abe1782e_11.0) and found these bugs:

Call Recording starts but doesn't record anything

Device rebooted randomly once after deleting a call recording

Double Tap to sleep under gestures doesn't work (but tap to wake on lockscreen works)

Some of the icons under Google Dialer settings are missing

No option to import sim contacts

I had to export all the contacts to Google Contacts using another device and then sync the contacts using Google Preferences under settings in PixelOS device

Updating the Recorder app (from 1.2.314117049 - the one which comes pre-installed to 3.5.456678826) completely broke the app. The app opened but didn't record, transcription also didn't work.

Had to uninstall updates to fix it.

Monet clock widget and Settings icon malfunctioned once and color didn't match one of the pre installed wallpapers.

Issue got fixed after a restart
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Luigi.C:
Kudos to the PixelOS staff, the latest build from August 12th is the best ever, great, smooth and great battery beckup. Just a tip, fix the position to the left of the clock which is very lateral, and then I noticed the difference in position of the signal battery icons etc ... when the phone has the screen lock and you unlock it, pay attention to this step. Thank you.

I have a Redmi Note 8T (Willow), the phone is now working again with a fresh install of PixelOS. The weird thing is even with the latest version of TWRP, I almost ran into the same problem again, TWRP will refuse to install Willow firmware and keeps saying "this firmware is for willow, this is a gingko" and it's wrong, to avoid another brick I backed out, and tried using OrangeFox instead which had absolutely no issues.

So if anyone out there has the Redmi Note 8T (Willow), use OrangeFox if the same error pops up for you :)

Hope this helps someone somewhere.
