how to root this rom?
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] cavedano8:
Nothing for me (in Italy with kena mobile).

So, it's depend from operator?
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mike9976:
Hello I flashed rom no problems good rom thx I tried to root it with magisk but it didn't root do I have to do it a different way thx
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] purgy:
Root doesn't work for now, not sure if that is going to change

Hi,

@PixelBoot would it be possible to work on eSIM support? I see this is important not only for myself. I’m still using 12.1 as dual sim is a must to me.
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] rdorsch:
Can anybody tell how the plus edition differs from the standard edition?
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] faheem5:
hopefully this video helps --
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] rdorsch:
Excellent comparison, many thanks.
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] blksith0:
Thanks for the notice. I was about to install until I read that eSIM is not supported on Pixel Experience.
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] afpbis:
Same for me. End of updates for Pixel 3a. I didn't want to change the phone so I flashed this rom. It's great. Thanks a lot for the job. Af
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] blksith0:
Yeah I flashed Magisk and the phone doesn't boot now...

A few notes:

1. Support eSIM

2. Bring back Active Edge customization

3. Allow rooting (how else are we going to restore Swift Backup?)

What do you need from me to make these dreams come true? Or at least the last one.
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] BacktotheFuji:
I picked up a couple of Pixel 3as with mild screen burn for less than £20 each to play with. Pixel Experience is running great on the device I've flashed. Only thing I've noticed is portrait mode is zoomed in further than on stock. Is that intentional?

Many thanks for your hard work in keeping these devices supported 👍
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] BacktotheFuji:
I'm probably missing something obvious but I'm not sure how to setup Google Pay. I've downloaded Wallet but that won't allow me to add a card as the boatloader is unlocked.

Any help is appreciated, thanks.
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] BacktotheFuji:
Quick update - Google has broken Google Pay on Pixel Experience and other ROMs (covers all phones). A fix has already been identified apparently, so fingers crossed the PE team build this in shortly.

And yes, I do appreciate that I'm talking to myself 😂
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Sri Korea:
Is it good to install this ROM on a phone is used as a primary phone? Are there any Privacy and Security issues in this ROM?
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] purgy:
Custom rom with no root so we can't fix it ourselves (displax modded usnf) what a time to be alive
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] BacktotheFuji:
So Google Wallet started working again which is cool.

I have to say, running this device side by side with another 3a running stock Android 12...Pixel Experience runs so much smoother. Not sure if it's something in PE or optimisations with Android 13 but the difference is quite noticeable.
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] tdog0101:
Like many others, I recently lost Google Pay/Wallet functionality due to Google’s move to the new Play Integrity API. Because I wasn’t sure if/when PE would be able to fix this (and because I wanted to learn), I recently attempted myself to extract the boot.img from PE’s (sargo) payload.bin file (via Payload Dumper), patch it with Magisk, and then reflash it back to sargo. If this had worked, I would have further explored installing Zygist, USNF, etc.

I was indeed able to extract boot.img, flash the official Magisk apk, patch the boot image file, and then reflash it back to the device. However, this led to endless bootloader loops. Unable to fix this, I gave up and reinstalled official PE for sargo.

It’s no big deal, as I learned a lot in the process – and PE (at the group, not ROM/maintainer level) has stated they will soon have a solution in hand for the SafetyNet/Play Integrity issues. But can anyone with more experience/knowledge than me explain why I wouldn’t have been able to patch the boot.img file with Magisk myself? Is there some obvious reason that I’m not aware of?

Today's official PE sargo 13 202302222 update went fine (it must have been a large file as it took longer than usual to install and update). And can confirm that Google Wallet/Pay now currently working on my device (I can add cards, passes Integrity Check (Device, Basic), etc. Thanks very much to the maintainer as well as the larger PE team :->. Hopefully this will last for a while...

Anyone verified eSIM support on the February update?
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] lemonah:
esim works even on previous build. but some people can't change esim in settings. I have only one esim and can't check it
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pegs520:
Most recent build broke a few things for me:

If I'm playing music or a video, notifications lower the volume.

Double tap to wake doesn't work.

Lift to check phone doesn't work.

Has anyone had these issues?
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] BacktotheFuji:
I thought the first one was standard behaviour unless on vibrate only or silent?

The other two seem to be working for me. I allowed the phone to find the update and install itself if that helps.
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pegs520:
It's supposed to momentarily lower the volume, then the volume should go back to normal. My phone lowers the volume and it stays there.

I also waited for the OTA update to pop up and then installed.
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] BacktotheFuji:
Annoying!

I'm not using this phone as my daily driver, but just tested this (YouTube music and Gmail) and it worked as expected i.e. lowered the volume for a second or so and then returned to normal.

Have you got any amplifier apps installed or anything else like that?
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pegs520:
Nope. Sounds like it's a me problem. I'm guessing I could use a clean install. Thanks for the feedback!!
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] rcknr:
I'm on the latest plus build to date (13.0-20230222-0755-OFFICIAL). Upgraded with OTA from the previous one which I flashed manually. Since the update I have noticed the following issues:

I keep seeing location service notifications quite more often than before. It looks like a green dot in the top right corner. When it first appears it's a green pill shape form with a location marker logo inside.

I have Audible app installed but haven't used it lately. In fact I'm not even logged in. Despite that I started seeing its player card in notifications. After I swipe it away it goes away for a while but then eventually comes back.

There are problems with eSIM: I wasn't able to switch eSIM profiles, activate or deactivate them. Deleting them seems to also be problematic, since I was only able to remove one after shutting down and starting the phone again. It seems like other people experience similar issue too as this issue shows.

One more thing which is not related to the latest release but quite a bit annoying for me is settings icon in the quick settings area. In the original firmware it is quite bigger and pill shaped while PixelExperience has it as a circular button aligned to the bottom. To see it you have to drag quick settings all the way down.

I would love to help fix these in any way I can. Big thank you to everyone who's contributing to this project!
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pegs520:
Just about everything works well for me on the newest build, at least for what I use.

Only problem I'm having is that I'm missing the 2 button navigation. Is that coming back in a future build?
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] vuong0888:
How 2 fix this pro
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] sameera_s_w:
It's not a rom's problem, just a Google bug with messages app... I've experienced it on my previous device too. Somehow it's kinda fixed for me after I switched to a 3a with PE yesterday... Maybe the latest Messages beta update fixed it.
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] lemonah:
does 2 buttons navigation exist in last april build? its gone in previous one and i rolled back on february version
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] AnggaFxz:
No. There is only 3 button navigation and gesture navigation in latest april build
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] AnggaFxz:
@PixelBoot First of all thank you for april build. It's smooth comparing with march build. But there is problem with video playback. For example, playing reels video in Instagram it's showing distortion and sometimes grey-ish video. No video issue in march build but it's laggy
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] grizlisandor:
I am also experiencing this error.
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] AnggaFxz:
Second dev of our phone said that it's problem with Instagram app. The app had problem with vulcan engine. Use Instagram lite

[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] grizlisandor:
In the meantime, there was an update to the application, maybe the situation has improved.

I have not experienced it.

Other:

The phone struggled with the update check, but finally the latest version is installed.
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] tdog0101:
With this latest update, I initially was unable to make or receive any calls (either using my network provider, or via Wifi). I tried rebooting the phone several times, and checked relevant settings, but it still didn't work. But about an hour later, calling appeared to be working again. Just a fyi for anyone who experienced something similar.
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] cavedano8:
With the latest update (2023-04-26) everything seems to be ok now
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] darklucidlynx:
I am at the latest version 20230426. The bug I encountered so far: 1) Random restart (once / twice a day); 2) Sound picker (notification, alarm sounds, etc) is unusable, and only shows number instead of sounds title. The sound picker can be opened, but it won't save the changes I make.
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ExactExampl:
Investigating possible causes of random idle reboots. As of sound picker, it works fine at least for me
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] sameera_s_w:
Any update on e-sim support? Currently can be added but can not be turned on because turning on does nothing and the loading dialog keeps spinning.

[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ExactExampl:
Weird, just checked and it worked for me. Are you trying to use it in any specific app ?
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] AnggaFxz:
Nvm.. it solved by rebooting device. Last time it broken in whatsapp app.
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] cavedano8:

Hello first of all thanks a lot for the ROM and latest updates that fixed google pay :).

On my side I noticed a bug with version of 2604 Pixel plus version. When receiving a call. I often have the adaptative connectivity service that is crashing (I have it enabled).

Cheers :)
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] teph12:
Hello, using this ROM as my daily driver since the beginning of the year and love it!

I noticed that the OTA updates take a really long time. Updated to 26.04. today and including all the processing it took about 6 hours from starting the download until I finally rebooted. Is that normal behaviour?
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ExactExampl:
This doesn't seem to be normal behaviour. Please, provide logs next time if you can
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] grizlisandor:
Unfortunately, I also experienced this.

I've been there before, it was recommended on another forum to set it so that the display doesn't go to sleep. If you update with the display closed, the phone goes into power saving mode and therefore the update is slower.

Thx to 20230508 build, i already installed it.
[Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] teph12:
I updated to 20230508 this morning with the display active and - it worked! Thanks for the suggestion

Or do I just flash this rom? I really wanna try something newer than android 12 I went from the pixel 8 Pro to the 3a! Not the worst downgrade but I really wanna get a better rom experience!

Everything seems to work fine, nice job.

Only noticed 3 issues

1. DSDS not working.

2. Switching between sims does not work, if you have a physical sim and an e-sim installed and you switch to the e-sim you can’t switch back to the physical sim.

3. Hotspot turns on but connected devices have no access to internet.

[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] x2pherm:

[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] kirby_422:
Updated to 13+ fine from the beta, but anytime I flash magisk it immediately bootloops, so that's slightly disappointing. Tried magisk both from TWRP, and flashing a modified boot image generated from magisk manager; same response on both, the moment the OS starts, before the animations etc, it reboots.

@x2pherm are you trying the normal 13, or 13 plus? The other guy who installed it's screenshots show they did 13+ like me. I ADB sideloaded from the PE recovery. Also, try checking what version of ADB you have installed to rule that out. When I check my ADB version, it lists two different versions: 1.0.41 & 29.0.5-5949299, for reference.

Installed the January update. Still testing it, no major issues so far.

I tried installing magisk via PE recovery and instantly got bootloop. For a couple of minutes I thought the phone was bricked, somehow managed to get into recovery to install the rom again.

Not going to attempt to root until there is more information.
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] 41rw4lk:
If you tried to root in the same session as install sometimes that can cause issues, you need to boot to system at least once before rooting. Sometimes for initial root, you need to use the latest Canary build of magisk, then you can switch to stable channel for updates. Those have been random issues for me in the past and how I worked around them.
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] ecrab1:
I extracted the (PixelExperience Plus) boot.img using payload_dumper, and patched it with Magisk 25.2. When I try to flash the newly patched boot.img, it sends me into a bootloop.

Of course, I can fix the bootloop by patching the original boot.img, but then we're back to square one.

Does anyone know of a way to achieve root on this beautiful rom (and pass safetynet)?
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] 41rw4lk:
Just change magisk from .apk to .zip and sideload from recovery.
