hi what's the difference between the plus and normal edition?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] thecavedarter:
Hi!

I have noticed only one of the rear cameras are working on my S9+. Is there anyway to have both cameras available? Maybe a build.prop edit? Also night mode doesn't seem to work....

Thanks for your hard work!

Regards David.

for those who want to save some battery life and get a screen resolution down a bit:

adb shell wm size 720x1480

adb shell wm density 280

dont forget to reboot afterwards, some apps might dislike it

edit: bootlogo also goes 1/4 of what it is, and idk if its fixable with adb aswell

Follow this.

1. Flash latest stock firmware FVB4 and wait to boot up.

2. Flash latest twrp and format data then reboot recovery.

3. Flash Pixel Experience rom.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] ben.slama.jihed:
[its reboot into twrp recovery again]

be careful with the new update publish to day , i didn't install the recovery with the rom , and when i tried to do the update that break my phone , i'am blocked on recovery screen , can't detect the phone with adb , when i reboot i'am always stopped on same screen of recovery part.

But i really love this ROM , i will try to fix that , if i found a solution before the maintainer i will directly publish it in this thread

Model : samsung s9 (exynos)

How to fix this when I try to change Display Resolution to 720p or even 1080 on my samsung s9 and restart, my phone small display screen
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] ben.slama.jihed:
i think is not the better solution but i use heimdall to push a recovery

heimdall flash --RECOVERY recovery.img (i use the recovery suggest by the rom creator and not the twrp)

that fix my old recovery and reboot the phone normally without the new update
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] ben.slama.jihed:
update done with the last update automatically :)

Hello, SPIN1 mobile signature verification is not working. After entering the code and pressing confirm, nothing happens. SM-G965F
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] sidkl:
hey does anyone have any idea why the DRM widevine is set at L3. S9+ has L1 certification but as soon as I installed this rom, it got downgraded to L3. Is there any solve for this issue
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] 81Leon:
Hi, I wanted to join yours by installing and using this Rom. 🙂

The first impression is that of a lean, intuitive and very light and fast system.

The positive thing I found is that the device is "certified" and allows me to use it as before when it was a stock Rom Samsung S9.

However, I encountered a problem, the smartphone is recognized as a Pixel by Google and even in the list of devices in my account, while in reality it is an S9 (SM-G960F).

I also have a big problem that I hope you will be able to solve for me 🙏🏻 ... I can no longer use the Samsung Apps, above all I would be interested in being able to have my Samsung Gear Fit2 Pro (SM-R365) talk again and possibly also Health and import all the data of which I backed up with Samsung Switch.

Do you say it is possible?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] @echo.bat:
This rom is base on google pixel or aosp rom thats why your device recognize as a pixel, all samsung apps will not working on aosp rom. If you want to use samsung apps flash latest noble rom for your device.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] 81Leon:
Ok, thank you very much for the answer ...

I was looking for a Rom that was very close to the Samsung experience and that could make me use all the Apps I have used so far but on a new operating system!

I will do yet another format with subsequent configuration but at least I found the right path .. at least I hope 🤞🏻

However, I renew my congratulations to all those who worked on this project, a really good result 👏🏻
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] munirshah77:
Setting up any security lock after Installing Shelter or Island causes bootloop on S9+ and Note 9 with pixel experience or any Aosp based rom including all Android 13 roms as phone reboots soon after booting to the rom. Further, if screen lock is already set up Shelter and Island do not work and give an error. Any solutions?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Faisal0000:
Just wanted to say thanks. Super stable and snappy ROM. The only downfalls would be the cameras if you want to daily drive it. Using my s9 as a secondary device so doesn't affect me much but for those who want a better camera experience on this ROM, do this.

1. Go to celsoazevedo website

2. Download latest SGCAM.

3. Profit :D

(Only for back cam. The selfie cam doesn't work sadly)
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] @echo.bat:
If you want to use stable gcam for this rom download here. https://gcamera.co/downloads/bsg-8-1-for-exynos/

I use this version back cam and front working.

To save front cam picture change the viewfinder format to YUV. Then if you have a problem with hdr at night you can disable HDR+.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Agha Farhan:
Thank you so much for amazing hard work.

Again and again thanks you.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] kapilrtn:

[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] ridwanwastaken:
I'm new to android modding so please cut me some slack

1. what are the "recovery image" files for..is it a custom version of TWRP or something like that

2. I'd appreciate an easy-to-follow guide on how to install Pixel Experience

My device isn't rooted

I don't have a custom recovery installed

more info:

I also know there's an installation guide on the page but as I said I'm new to this and I'm embarrassed to admit...I kind of didn't understand most of what I read and I don't want to make a mistake and mess up the installation

I have a PC(windows)

to anyone replying to this message, thank you in advance
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Faisal0000:
Ok do this.

1. Make backup of everything on your phone.

1.1 On your phone enable developer options and turn on usb debugging. Also turn on enable OEM unlock. VERY IMPORTANT!!

2. Download Odin and samsung usb drivers.

3. Watch yt video on how to install twrp using odin.

4. Go to this rom download page and download zip file.

5. Download pixel recovery file also.

6. On installed twrp, select flash image and then select pixel recovery file and flash as recovery.

Now you have pixel recovery installed.

7. Download minimal adb and fast boot.

8. Install it and go to the installation directory.

9. Copy rom file to the installation recovery and rename the rom to rom.zip.

10. Open cmd window in the installation directory of the minimal adb and fastboot.

11. On your phone boot to pixel recovery and select apply update from adb.

12. Type adb devices on the cmd window and you should see your device connected.

12. Type adb flash zip rom.zip

13. Wait for installation to finish.

14. Reboot.

15. Enjoy

i couldn't find OEM unlock in developer settings...

i wasn't searching online as to why i couldn't find it

edit: i'm using the SD version not the Eynos verson, is that gonna be an issue when installing pixel experience

could it been because i've only had my phone for a few days
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] viktorvlahov11:
Thank you for the very snappy android 13 erofs build!The only problem I have is that widevine is stuck on L3 and that you can't install magisk on erofs but that's TWRP fault for not supporting erofs on this phone but still the rom is a great experience!
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] dekarpaulvictor:
You don't need TWRP to install Magisk. Just sideload the Magisk zip like you would any other system update packaged as a zip file. Go to the PE recovery and look for the adb sideload option and activate it. Then on the command line type: "adb sideload magisk.zip" and reboot your device
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] viktorvlahov11:
After flashing magisk the phone bootloops so it doesn't work
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] M1VAN:
HI, i have some problem, now i install pixel experience recovery and now i always has this error, when i trying to install something: failed to find payload_properties.txt. So maybe someone know what should i do? sorry for bad english)
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Ferexio:
Maybe use TWRP instead PE Recovery?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] BreakPointtt:
Well, no EROFS build work with magisk currently. Dont need to try

Battery life seems to be improved, but I'm really missing always on display
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] aureljared:
Incredibly smooth build, thanks PE team!

SafetyNet pass is a nice addition, but I understand it's mostly superficial. Just wish the battery in this phone lasted longer, lol. Great as a backup phone but even on stock the battery life isn't great for a daily driver.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] ghazayel:
Is the build based on efros?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] aureljared:
Yes, it appears this ROM formats both /system and /vendor as EROFS.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] aureljared:
Is anyone else experiencing slowdowns in Pixel Launcher? After a day or so of uptime the launcher starts lagging, to the point where I have to force-stop it, after which it is smooth again and the cycle repeats. The rest of the system is smooth during the whole ordeal. Sounds like a memory leak, but I'm not sure.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Mldshirali:
does this rom support magisk rooting method?

considering that It seems EROFS doesn't work good with Magisk

[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] lucasvac:
I don't know how but it's fixed now.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] kaizeritori:
Same here.

After some use, the launcher's animations becames laggy and the phone was so hot that can burn my hands.

Inside applications are also laggy. Also seems like to start to slowdown and burn when a heavy application is launched (video, audio, game...) and killing these apps don't stop the phenomenon.

Only a reboot make the phone normal again until the next time.

New issue on Android 13 because on Android 12, this problem wasn't here.

Thanks for the work @dylanneve1

Last build (Jan 11 2023) introduced an issue on bluetooth calls. There's a huge buzzing noise for the opposite party.

Tested another headset, buzzing still present

Tested headset on another device, it worked correctly

It happens on phone, meta messenger and WhatsApp calls

Thanks for reading me
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] bathuu:
Thank you mate
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Cavu0:
I can confirm that problem and if it helps:

it seems to be device specific. I have other devices like instantnoodlep, begonia, etc. on latest PE A13 (with Jan patch) where it works properly.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] JeanneD4RK_:
Which Bluetooth version?

Both my devices are 5.2 and s9+ is 5.0 only

Maybe that's a lead...

[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] orgler:
I'm seeing issues with pairing Bluetooth LE devices. For example a HUK insurance telemetry dongle as well as a Amazfit GTS SmartWatch. Both are not found in the corresponding apps, this worked with arrows/a12.1 before. I've tried to re-pair and of course did a full wipe. Any other ideas?

I'm on yesterday's "regular" build.

When I try to pair through the "pair new device" Bluetooth Dialog the device is shown, when selecting it says "pairing" and then after ~30 seconds returns to show the device again without an error or the pairing having happened. I've reset the device.

Has anyone found a way to install magisk? I tried all methods from the instruction at Magisk but I end always on boot loop.. (13 Plus 2023/01/16)

[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] superruffles:
Why is my phone so hot and not charging after I clean install it?

Edit: it stopped getting hot after a while and it's working normal now.

I also found some bugs:

Some pics I've sent/got on WhatsApp looks stretched out;

Video editing quality on the Photos app is unusable (terribly compressed and doesn't upload to any websites)

There is no way to hide apps on the app drawer

High battery usage

Besides that it's been pretty good 😊. I'll add more when I see it.

This build from 11.01.2023 not working with phone calls over bluetooth?

Nope, you can initiate the call but you'll hear nothing, and the person on the other side of the line will hear a lot of noise; This seems to be happening on Bluetooth calls only, for music, Bluetooth audio works as expected. There's something wrong with the Bluetooth stack, I can pair my headphones but not my smartwatch
