Any unlocked H9493 owner tried this?
I'm curious about that.

What camera app is used in this ROM?

I personally use open camera, gcam support is being worked on hardly
You'll soon can take some neat hdr+ pics !

Awesome, I'm looking forward to it!

Would love to see comparison shots of sony cam on stock fw vs gcam on this rom!

Sorry if I'm impolite, but do you have any update on this ROM? I'd really love to try it.

Hi,
If you could post your special recovery, it would be great
I've already tried to instal your rom downgrading my XZ3 to have TWRP of martinX3 and then switch to your rom but no success, probably due to android 10?
It always crash at 47% on adb sideload mode with error 18, wich seems related to A/B partition. Maybe we have to extract images from payload.bin and flash all individually with fastboot?
So if you could tell us how to instal this rom, it would be awesome, as sony stock rom is really a shame.
Thanks a lot in advance
Regards

Finally got it correctly installed
so to instal we have to :
Unlock bootloader
DL pixelEXP rom
Flash XZ3 kernel Tama V4.14 RC3 (January)
Extract files from payload.bin
Flash all files with fastboot
Reboot and voila
Will report in few days if rom work great or not.

Could you tell how to extract the payload.bin file?
I used 7-zip to extract, but it seems not a zip file.
Thanks!!

Google it
You have to instal python and use payload-dumper script.
Search it on web
Extract payload dumper on python's folder
Put payload.bin on python folder
Then using following commands :
1- python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
2- python payload_dumper.py payload.bin
Then flash files on fastboot mode as:
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img
Fastboot flash system system.img
Fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
Fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
Pay attention, on march update you have to be on Last firmware, before march update RC3
Also don't forget to install it on A and B partition and switch monthly for your hardware longevity
Using this line : fastboot set_active other
As we not have yet a recovery on android 10, this is the only method, you can still install magisk patching boot.img and use kernel manager to flash zip
Wich variants are you using? On 8416 , rom is fluid and great, after march update now camera is working good with 12MPX, only bug i've got is , some vertical glitches using youtube and video app, wich are not annoying and Fastcharging not working yet, my 40W Huawei supercharge charge and disconnect continously.
If you're not able to extract it, let me know your variant, i will upload files directly on a link.

I've double-checked on MartinX3 and he updated a TWRP for XZ3 on Android 10 few days ago.
So my previous post is almost useless
Search MartinX3 XZ3 on android file host, you'll find a classic TWRP.

I had got PE sucessfully with these two methods,.
But it seems PE's mobile-data have something wrong, i got no signal.
It looks like a simlock isuue. It may be a area problem.
I can get normal mobile-data if flash offical firmware back.
And yes, charging can't be continously, like QC2.0/3.0, I got that from author's post at xz2? forum.
Also, camera turns worse, like focus not well.
Last, thanks your answer!

Hey, I was wondering is there a way for me to use TWRP from the single sim model, on my dual sim… Or should I just wait for the release…
I'd flash rom, but it has been few years since I've done this kind of things, so I'm a hella rusty...

Ok, so I have managed to flash this ROM but there are quite few bugs… for starters Internet service for me is terrible, like 200kbps, secondly, there is some kind of screen tearing when playing landscaped video on YouTube and Facebook... Sound quality degraded a lot, aswell as camera… Sadly for me, this one is unusable… plus animations ain't that much smoother than on stock ROM, which is pretty laggy…
Thanks for supporting this phone, but this needs a lot more work... No hard feelings, just a feedback

Can this be installed on h9493? Its the ds with 6GB Ram

Is GCAM support available on the latest May build?

Where can I find the special recovery and the installation guide mentioned in the thread? Thanks.

Descendant is a customised Android ROM that focuses on enhancing UX and UI
over stock Android along useful features.
Downloads
Head to the download page. Download the zip and *-boot.img for your device.
Sources
Githubhttps://github.com/Descendant-Devices
Backup internal storage, wiping data will delete everything.
Reboot to fastboot and flash the provided boot.img with the following commands:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot /path/to/*-boot.img
Reboot into recovery using volume and power buttons and select "Apply update from ADB," then:
Code:
adb sideload /path/to/rom.zip
In recovery before rebooting, make sure to factory reset/wipe data on first install. No wipes are needed between updates from Descendant itself, unless specified.
Reboot into the system and you should be good.
But please, mind, we won't support any issue arising from Magisk nor relative modules.
Listing all the additions would be a huge wall of text, that you wouldn't even read.
So, head over the Telegram group and feel free to lurk.
Preloaded applications
Google Apps are included.
Having a bug or not booting for whatever reason?
Look for "How to report bugs" on this post.

Magisk Question
Hello. First of all, great ROM, thank you for putting it together and supporting our device! I just picked up the Pixel 3a XL and am getting it configured with my first custom ROM. I installed it this morning and it seems to be working great.
I have a question about Magisk and how to use it with a custom ROM. While I have been using custom ROMs for years on my devices, this is my first attempt to use Magisk on a Android 10 device with the new partition system (without TWRP). I followed the basic instructions for Magisk and was able to get it working on the latest stock ROM but I am unsure whether I need to patch (from Magisk) the included Boot.img file that comes with Descendant or do something else. I tried patching it but when I rebooted after installing via the bootloader, the Magisk app is saying its not installed. Any help you could provide would be appreciated. Thanks again for the great build.

Myself and most others have done it the same way you have: manually patch the downloaded boot image in magisk manager after setup, reboot to bootloader, fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img.
I'd recommend trying to patch and flash magisk_patched.img again from the boot image you downloaded.

That's great! For the future, try pretending like slots don't exist and just doing fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img rather than specifying a slot :good:

Yeah, the odd thing is, at least so far, I've been getting "FAILED (remote: Failed to write to partition Not Found)" when not specifying a slot during a flash. So I use GETVAR to figure out where I'm supposed to go and flash there.

Update your platform-tools. This is likely due to the change they made a while back to how specifying a partition is handled in fastboot.

I like the rom, but I don't know why the color of the letters in dark mode are not white, it is in a pink tone and I don't like it, that's why I change the rom, I have tried to modify it but it never goes blank
the only rom that doesn't happen is in the dev one, I don't understand why
Question does face unlock ACTUALLY work because last time I saw a A12 rom say it has face unlock it was a mistake
Can anyone help me? Just got this device and wanted to try some android 12 roms. I was under the impression that oneplus devices would be easy to flash too. However this A/B partition thing is a real pain. Can't get anything flashed and all of the tutorials don't work. Used fastboot enhance, tried ADB sideload (doesn't work, some kind of version doesn't matc client or something) and twrp that I used to use on my other devices is a headache to use
Every a12 rom pretty much has it's own method and recovery to flash with. You just have to do your homework and read the op's for each rom. Do a little research on how a/b partitions work. Nobody will spoonfeed you how to do. If you have problems almost every rom has telegram channel you can ask on?

The main thing you need to know for this device regarding A/B is that you need to have the latest firmware from Oneplus on both slots.
Run all your updates and then find the Lineage Wiki for kebab. There is a script there that will copy firmware to both slots so you can start flashing ROMs.

A lot more involved than just flashing a rom, such as "do you know how to repair you phone when it bootloops?" It will eventually happen. What partitions you should backup before flashing a rom. Sorry, that's just the reality.

I have actually repaired it from a boot loop many times. I've been modding and flashing for many years. It's just that this is my first a/b device and despite all the tutorials and research I've done it still hasn't worked. I'm not giving up tho, just wondering what I'm missing. I actually did get a couple roms to work. But I don't know why I'm not getting them to work now. More research I guess...
double tap to wake works while aod is on?
I have many problems trying to install these roms on my phone using sideload or twrp no matter what recovery I use. End up dumping files from payload bin and flashing individual files using fastbootd. Only handful of files to flash, not like oos rom. Almost foolproof. Just make sure you reboot to recovery and format data before booting to system.

Yes. That is because A12 latest standards uses a different assert verification process (which is used to detect the device before loading packages into the recovery). TWRP and old recoveries are still using old asserts from A11 standards. I don't like to implement the old assert thus you can either flash using any fastboot installer script or fastboot enhanced. One tester confirmed me that lineage recovery also worked fine for him but I still recommend fastboot installer mode.

Have you tried changing monet colour through Cherish Settings->Themes->Custom Color?

All you need to do is change wallpaper. Color is controlled by wallpaper theme in a12.

How To Guide [GUIDE] how to flash android 12-13 based gsi without bootloops

i have decided to post my personal procedure for flashing android 12 and android 13 gsi
all gsi that i will mention booted succesfull on my device (code M2103K19G)
i dont assume any responsability for possible bootloops. the procedure is 100%, if you follow will not have any problem
pre requisites:
bootloader unlocked
STOCK global miui13 installed. latest global is my favorite, but also other version works (no miui12, gsi could boot anyway, but maybe not)
magisk installed for testing the gsi before definitive flash (suggested but not necessary)
a pc with adb and fastboot installed + mtk driver
first step: choose your favorite gsi
my suggestions are: Spark a13.1 (my actual rom), crdroid 12.1 based, arrow 12.1 based, latest pphusson
download the gsi and test it via dsusideloader (you can try all gsi that you want). this is very important for verify have all what you need
in alternative read changelog of gsi or users feedback. the gsi that i have mentioned 100% boot guaranted
when you have chose the gsi wipe data and reboot phone to FASTBOOTD (i will not explain how to do, a modder must know this)
if you boot into fastboot cant flash system
download and extract fastboot stock rom
after this simply:
open image folder of your fastboot extracted rom
open a terminal (for linux user) or a cmd window (con win10 users)
flash vbmeta disabling dm-verity check typing: fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
flash system.img (DONT ERASE SYSTEM PARTION!) typing: fastboot flash system system.img
flash stock kboot.img (or magisk patched for have root) typing; fastboot flash boot boot.img
reboot typing: fastboot reboot
no other commands needs, i'm 100% sure. tested directly by me
if you have made all steps correctly, and you have choosed and tested a good no wipe data is need and phone 100% boot
obviously, before flash gsi is important read the changelog of the rom for know bugs, function missing, fuction added, battery backup, performance, ecc ecc
for info about all gsi connect to official telegram channels
my favorites are pphusson channel and naz channel (the developer of my actual rom)
good look and dont ask me info about gsi. Ask directly to official telegran channel
READ WITH ATTENTION: this procedure is what i do every time i want to flash a gsi. i never encontered any bootloop, expect when a made wrong
thing like boot from slot b, flash a wrong boot.img image, flash a magisk module that is not compatible. so i dont will assume any responsability for damages to your device. it means that the problem isn't my procedure
PART 2: WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO FOR NO BOOTLOOP
- start from miu13
- have the bootloader unlocked
- test the gsi with dsu sideloader before permanent flash (if rom boot, flashing is safe) or ask to users a suggestion for a compatible gsi for our device
- make all fastboot commands in fastbootd mode
- active slot for flashing and reboot must be the primary (in most of cases is slot a)
- flash the stock boot.img before reboot
- flash stock vbmeta disabling dmverity check before reboot
-if u enter into recovery after reboot, wipe data
except first point (some gsi boot also starting from miui12.5 but is not recommended) all other must do correctly. some step cause low issue (wipe data from recovery is not a problem). but (example) flashing a bad boot image (like a not tested twrp) could cause high damages to bootloader= no fastboot, no recovery, bootloop to xiaomi logo
if u want to know more about i say, google sure may help

I don't quite understand your screenshot , and I don't have your EvolutionX ROM at hand, but all the other GSI I have tried came as one compressed file, which when extracted, will give you a .img file. You are NOT supposed to extract the .img file.
That IS the system.img file that you need to flash at:
fastboot flash system system.img

yeah, i just testing the evoX rom on sideload, it boot but i dont really like it, then i change my mind to corvus, that img file on the screenshot is just img from the dsu sideloader that has been extracted from img.xz file

search if its BvN then its vanilla(no gapps) if BgN it has gapps
downlod arm64 bgN g=with gapps v=vanilla (no gapps)
slim version is no suggested for the gsi i have mentioned and tested
arm64= a/b device (like our)
a64= device with no dunamic partitions
i hope my guide could be helpfull to prevent a lot of possible bootloops
(also if my english is not perct, I tried to make it as easy and understandable as I could)

What rom is that? Can you give me the download link, and does fingerprint and 5g work?
This guide worked, thank you so much!
*This is just the review*I've tried multiple gsi's but the best one that i found to be both stable and attractive is SparkOS, I'm into Pixel Experience but it just slows the phone down to an unusable state so i tried SparkOS and it's Pixel enough that i like it and I've been using it for quite some time now and it hasn't yet slowed the phone down, I'm really happy w this gsi and would 100% recommend it to those who're having a hard time deciding on which gsi to implement,

thats exactly what I did. but no matter the branch/distro these new androids are so damn ugly chasing after ios and they're gettting uglier and bigger every update. .
I was mainly interested in newest GSI because of mKVM but didjt realise at the time that only two phones in the world c8rrehtlly posses requirements for it. Windows FTW!
Hey, I'm having an issue where if i turn my phones screen off i have to force reboot it for it to turn back on. can you help?

At what stage of the process? After what step?
In general, there is no time when you have to force reboot it. You can do the whole process using adb/fastboot commands as described in the OP.

How To Guide Custom ROM (GSI) for Realme 8 pro

I am not responsible for anything that happens to your phone.
Thank me if it works fine, But don't blame me if it doesn't work.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
First Unlock your bootloader
Go to fastboot mode
Enter this command in fastboot
Code:
fastboot reboot fastboot
Your phone will reboot to fastbootd (It will look as if you are in Recovery, but its fastbootd mode)
Now download any GSI ROM and extract system.img
Enter the following commands
Code:
fastboot erase system
fastboot flash system system.img
(optional) Additional flash magisk patched boot.img for root with the following commands
Code:
fastboot erase boot
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Happy Custom ROMing
Tested with Pixel Experience GSI on Realme 8 Pro (RMX3081 - Product ID 20711), But it should work with any custom rom
There is a square-shaped notch near the camera hole, instead of a round one
Because GSI is not made specifically made for this device
If somehow I get a Nandroid backup of custom from realme 7 pro, then probably that square hole can be corrected
Message me if you have realme 7 pro, or know someone who has realme 7 pro

[ROM][13.0][OnePlus8T] PixelExperience [AOSP/UNOFFICIAL] - JUNE 24, 2023

YOU MUST HAVE STOCK OOS13 INSTALLED ON BOTH SLOTS TO AVOID TOUCH SCREEN ISSUES. IF YOU ARE ON A11 or A12, THEN UPDATE TO A13. IF YOU ARE ON A13 then you are good to flash this already. Use copy partions if you want to make sure firmware is on both slots.

You must have firmware on both slots. That's the usual cause. Flashing copy partitions will solve this problem.

reboot to recovery, factory reset and adb sideload copy partitions. Reboot to recovery again and factory reset again then sideload rom and see if problem goes away.

Yes twrp is fine or if your on another custom rom, you can use that one as well. I will post a recovery for this when I can.

Somehow you don't have current fw on both slots. I would try to install this rom on both slots but it may not work. Worth a try. When you apply a system update, it only updates to opposite slot and leaves the other at previous version which causes problems. By coping partitions, it insures both slots have current fw.
does this one work better or the one on the official site?

Sì twrp va bene o se sei su un'altra rom personalizzata, puoi usare anche quella. Pubblicherò un recupero per questo quando posso.

I use Pixel Experience recovery to flash the rom.
I flashed in the official Oxygen OS 13 version,It booted fine and everything works fine.
and then unlocked the OEM, extracted the Pixel Experience 13 recovery and then flash into this Pixel Experience recovery.
Also follow the tutorials to flash the rom
(https://wiki.pixelexperience.org/devices/kebab/install/)
After the first boot devices,the screen touch is not working.

Then I followed your instructions and the screen touch did not work either.
-----
I use the same way flash, PE ROM 12 is everything works, and I have used it for half a year.
Also I can't use twrp,I can't use twrp since android 11, even though I flashed in the latest version, it can't decrypt my data correctly and can't identify my data correctly. Maybe it's just a problem with my phone.
So I can't flash the PE rom via twrp either
just now I went to test the latest version of LineageOS android 13, also following the official tutorial to use LineageOS recovery to swipe in, and found the same problem, normal boot up, the result is the same as PE rom is on the new user guide page, the screen touch does not work.
---
I haven't seen too many people report this kind of problem, I think there may be some strange problems with my phone. TAT

It's a known problem. I switched to Nova Launcher and then disabled that.
No touch screen here either ... (not in system not in recovery)
I flashed following instructions on PE 8T page.
(I read here but not on that page : -disable-verity --disable-verification for dtbo and vbmeta, but I guess that won't matter, or does it?)
I had fresh OnePlus8T-KB2003_11_F.13 OOS13 on both slots. Which should provide OOS13 firmware on both slots.
... Interested in anyone who worked around this and how.

Although this is Android 13. It's based on Android 12 so you must have a12 on both slots for it to work properly. Sorry for the confusion. I have updated the instructions, sorry.
