Follow the installation guide closely. Re-download the files if this keeps happening.

That does not look like PE. In fact that does look like crdroid.

No, only LineageOS-based roms have that in our case, including crdroid.

I've been using this great ROM for 2 weeks now, and discovered a small issue that appeared twice so far. The touch screen doesn't work while attempting to unlock the phone. All that works is just the HW buttons (power, volume up and down) so you can't even restart the device the usual way. What has helped is just to leave it for some time (30 mins in my case) and then it's back to normal... 🤔
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] scaniaman0102:
I've been using your rom for a long time. The only glaring issue is that the brightness gets very low when using face recognition. Do you plan to develop other custom roms?
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] rttxda:
That got fixed in the Lineage update today and will be in Pixel Experience soon as well.

There are a few more roms available on the Telegram group. They are built by other people so I don't help with those roms much, but they do use my sources.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] scaniaman0102:
Thank you for sharing the telegram link. There's something I'm wondering about. A70 is a powerful device, can custom roms such as color os, osygen os, miui os be made for this device?
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Q9550:
I use the app Velis Auto Brightness now for the last 10 days for a temporal solution. It works very well with PE and reacts immediately when going to shadow to sun and otherway around. Just turn off auto brightness of android and let velis app regulate the brightness. (In the dark I lifted the curve a little bit for a little bit more brightness) (In settings I also enabled start when screen turns on) For more info see xda site of the app: link

I really love this build but why is the ambient display option not available? If i search for it in the settings i find it but when i click it it disappears from the lock screen options which makes it inaccessible

It should be the last option in the lock screen settings but it's not there
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] rttxda:
I'll have a look before releasing the next build, thanks for mentioning this
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] X.A.N.A:
Thanks for your work rtd you are a god of optimizing codes .

In this rom i notices about 4 bugs on the last version

First:-

Auto brightness - brightness bar

2 diff scenario

1- auto brightness its kinda glitchy when i activate it on the on it start to increase about 4% and decrease in every 10 sec in a min at the same position but its not always like that

2nd one brightness bar sometimes when i change it . It doesnt respond it in full brightness by default even if i make it 0%

Second:-

When screen is off and mobile data off and wifi

Every 1 hour it decrease 1% or 2 of battery without doing anything while sleeping

On stock wasnt change that much every 2 or 3 hours about 1 %

Third:-

google assistance are not working on lock screen i dont know why but i tried every option even when its on for entering pass or fingerprint

; Should unlock the pass in order to listen to me

Fourth:-

The gdialer app are not saving the recorded calls in records files but the app itself says it has a record data and i can delete them all

I searched for data/ google.dialer the file it keeps loading without opening

Suggestion please for more options im not asking alot but i know you can do it bro 🫡

1- would you please put an Themes option for quick settings

2- changing lock screen widget its always default i guess.

Thanks for your work again 😊

3- always on display 1 tap to show for 10 second like stock - coz i have to press the finger print to wake it up or unlock the phone with the button

4- double tap on empty wallpaper to lock the device.

5- option to remove/add vibrate on fingerprint scan coz its working on default
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Q9550:
Maybe you have some glitches in your adaptive brightness curve, reset can help:

**Reset adaptive brightness.** Go to **Settings > Apps > See all apps > Device Health Services > Storage & cache > Manage space > Reset adaptive brightness**.

(For me, de default brightness settings works quite nice ☺️) Since the last update I do not use the app Velis Auto Brightness anymore, but you can see with this app if you have a glitchy or smooth brightness curve.

For suggestion 4: Display -> tap to sleep? (Double tap in statusbar)
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] X.A.N.A:
Thank you bro.

Ik there is in status bar but when it comes to use one hand double tap on empty space like the stock does make it much easier . That is the point . Ik mean we are all using custom rom to make it easier to use . And thanks for rtd hard work on each rom he made alot of progress ❤️

I need help with unlocking the OEM, I did it on the Dev options but still block the custom recovery on the download screen
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] aka 007:
I'm stuck here even I have the OEM unlocked already.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Q9550:
If your phone is unlocked the right way (see below), connect your phone to the computer and run in cmd: adb reboot bootloader

Continue with step 2 of the installation guide.

(Step 5, I prefer adb sideload <rom-file>)

Unlocking bootloader (follow all steps):

Make sure that you completely unlock the bootloader (also in downloading mode) (manual from Haky86)

Go to

Settings

.

Tab on

Connections

.

Select your WiFi connection, then insert the password (otherwise

OEM unlocking

option won't appear).

Tab to

About phone

.

Then tab on

Software information

.

Tab many times on

Build number

, untill you see “

Developer mode has been enabled

“ appears on your screen.

Now back to the main

Settings

page, then click on

Developer options

.

You should able to see the

OEM unlocking

option, if it is gray enable it.

Reboot the device into downloading mode by

Volume Up

+

Volume Down

+

Power

+ connect the device into the

USB

port.

Choose

Volume up long press: Device unlock mode

.

Press on

Volume up Unlock bootloaedr (may avoid warranty)

option.

Reboot the device, and check the

OEM unlocking

option again :).

Congrats, your bootloader has been unlocked.

I hope this helps.

Be patient. I sometimes post smaller news on the forbidden chat app. When it's ready I'll post here too.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] lautidl:
really excellent job, it has been years since I installed a custom rom (before, everything was through twrp), at first I was afraid of the installation methods and the fact that twrp is not used seemed strange to me, however, unlocking the bootloader was simple, and the installation steps were all very easy and in 10 minutes I had my phone back. Excellent work, the rom is very fluid (I notice some animations with VERY slight lag but it's nothing to complain about), I feel like it works better than the stock one.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] lautidl:
I have a question, is there any way that through the proposed installation for the rom, the efs folder can be corrupted?

I ask this because on the last phone I installed a ROM, the EFS folder was corrupted and I lost the IMEI and all types of mobile coverage. thank you !!

edit: I clarify that the last installation was through twrp and the deletions were done manually one by one
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] rttxda:
We've never had such a report so you should be safe. What SoC did that phone have?
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] lautidl:
It was an old Motorola moto g5 that if I remember correctly I installed Lineage 18, I did the wipes manually (dalvik, cache, internal and I don't remember what else), the installation was correct, the rom installed fine but when I inserted my chip It did not raise a signal and the imei had been "null".

That's why I lost confidence in installing roms but now that everything is simpler and I suppose that this issue is more protected nowadays, I tried with this pixel and absolutely no problems and everything works 10. As I said above, excellent work and thank you !

Model : SM-A705FN

I don't think it's a problem with the phone ,, it's the same problem you mentioned on lineage os 20
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] rttxda:
There never was a bootloop issue on lineage 20, and it was never reported too. Same goes for PE - no one complained on both TG and here. Didn't happen to me either. Make sure you're using the latest PE recovery and that you did actually format your phone with it, since that was the only source of bootloops - people trying to boot after using another recovery
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] XxLightAngelXx:
No bro I didn't mean that , this is what's happening with me and what I meant
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] rttxda:
That's an entirely different issue which does not affect PE.

Also, if anyone else had a bootloop *after* first successful boot, please report that. If there actually are any stability issues, they are the highest priority.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] XxLightAngelXx:
I use an app to clean the ram called ram cleaner ,, do you think that might be the problem because it happen when I clean using it then restart the phone "Randomly" ,, I am not sure because it was working perfectly even with the app on lineage os 19.1

(Like you said)
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] rttxda:
Again, that's an entirely different, unrelated issue. It wasn't a bootloop issue.

One helpful thing you could do is get a log when this happens and send it here.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] XxLightAngelXx:
It happens with me here too ,, I use magisk canary and I use zygisk and enforce the denylist any chance this could be the problem ,, I am really trying to find a solution because I like this rom so much ,, I am even using it right now but really this problem is frustrating ,, although I want to point that the problem is not with your rom your rom is awesome it happened with me in another roms ,, I am just really trying to solve it
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] rttxda:
That could very well be the problem. Try using without magisk for a few days (you can uninstall Magisk in the app)
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] XxLightAngelXx:
Mmmm I can do that but I use apps that needs root in my daily using ,, would switching to magisk 25.2 instead of canary version make a difference ?
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] rttxda:
Magisk canary is literally the most unstable thing you can use. Try stable v25.2
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] XxLightAngelXx:
Will do that and use the stable 25.2 version ,, thanks so much for your help I appreciate it and really hope it works fine ,, btw I really like this PE ROM thanks so much for developing it ,, like finally I can get rid of that performance downgrading when the phone gets hot on Samsung OneUi
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] XxLightAngelXx:
I did like you said ,, Said to myself let's test it first by doing several restarts *was going to restart it 20 times to make sure* and yep the problem happened again everything wiped after the 15th Restart ....

this thing is getting me sad .
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] dan06567:
Do you think the bt calls problem will be solved?
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] XxLightAngelXx:
@rttxda

Hey!

Good News >> I found the problem that was getting my device into that bootlooping ,, I was in a dumb way hiding every google apps and google services in the magisk denylist including (google play services ,, google play store ,, carrier services and etc) like literally every google thing ,, I thought that if i did this root won't be detected at all in my device "for using one of my banking apps" this time i decided to hide only the banking app and not every single google thing ,, the banking app is working fine ,, restarted the device for 30 time and Voilà! passed no bootloops and everything is working fine

I don't know how is this supposed to be the problem but well as soon as it works fine i'm satisfied

Finally I want to show again my appreciation for you for creating this amazing rom for this device because really it needs it .
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] rttxda:
probably, but to be honest it's not the highest priority problem for me right now
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Merc87:
Amazing and smooth however I've had issues with Snapchat, it becomes to buggy when opening the camera especially if I have other apps open like YouTube and Instagram, it didn't happen when I first got the ROM just a few days later, yes I did try to clear data and cache but still. Upon opening the app and choosing a filter/lens the app freezes and refuses to respond unless I close it and reopen sometimes I need to do this 2 times for it to work again.

Issue 2:

Sometimes the brightness randomly bumps up to max and when I open the quick settings it shows it's still on low, adjusting the slider does bring it back down

Issue 3:

Not really gonna complain because this is gaming related and I know this is the last phone you wanna game on. However I found it odd that games like PUBG wouldn't hit 50fps when on stock OS (and removing Samsung game optimization cuz it's terrible) PUBG mobile would run pretty smooth at 50fps. I just thought this OS is faster and would appreciate any info if there's anything. Also on the stock, there's a gcam that works well for the A70 and can do 60fps video, on this OS that doesn't seem to work even when choosing the option. Again I'm not complaining about these last 2 issues as this phone is old and is hardware limited. Just wanna know more about the causes and if there's anything I could do, if not then it's okay

REALLY APPRECIATE the dev for your amazing work. Loving the battery life and smoothness of the ROM ❤️
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] rttxda:
I have an idea what recent change might be causing those camera issues (+ gcam), I don't use snapchat though. I'll try reverting that change since it doesn't actually change anything as far as user experience goes.

It's a known bug and I guess you're facing it while unlocking the device or doing anything fingerprint related.. hope I'll manage to fix that one. (See first post -> known issues)

PE is kind of laggy on January builds, there was a huge battery drain bug in PE itself early this month, on every device. From my experience games ran very well on Lineage, even compared to stock

Glad to hear that, hope you enjoy using it as much as I (sometimes, when stuff works!) enjoy making it. Still marked as beta in case that some unexpected stability issue pops up but I aim to eventually go official with this rom.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jtdxa:
The new update is working smooth. A good rom for daily use.

Is there any chance that you can switch to samsung audio in the next build as after installing PE rom the sound is less while playing media or watching any movie online.

Also I noticed in the above replies and threads bluetooth calls have been mentioned, it is the same case with me. On call let it be whatsapp or normal call the bluetooth doesn't receive audio and then it gets difficult to change to speaker or phone as both the speaker and phone option get reversed.

Eg: When switching to speaker I can hear on phone and vice versa. Just a suggestion.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] rttxda:
We are already using stock audio (in fact all configs and the hal are taken straight from stock). The issues you mentioned are actually a side effect of using it. We used aosp audio in the past which had less call-related problems but unfortunately dualSIM couldn't work with that.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jtdxa:
Alright thanks for the update. May I ask when will next update come, just curious!!
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] rttxda:
Android 14 is here! :)

Just like last year, I'm releasing an experimental build of the next OS before the ROMs I actively maintain get updated. Needless to say, this should not be used as your daily OS since work on Android 14 is still being done.
