ALL OLD COMPILATIONS HAVE BEEN DELETED
READ THE SECTION D DESCRIBED FOR SUCCESSFUL INSTALLATION.
A. Bugs
Did you find a bug or problem?
Make a logcat and put it in pastebin/hastebin. I'll look when I can
You will need a computer, adb installed, usb debugging enabled on the smartphone and a usb cable.
Here's how to do it here.
1. Open Command Prompt (Windows) or Terminal (Linux/macOS).
2. Type:
Code:
adb logcat -d > logcat-dd-mm-yyyy.txt
This will save the log to logcat-dd-mm-yyyy.txt.
B. Magisk
Please do not ask me about compatibility with Magisk.
The i9100 Kernel (3.0.101) does not support namespace to work.
C. Root
PixelExperience does not contain software engines to support root access support for legacy devices such as LineageOS. No patience to adapt / develop a solution.
For now, the builds are rootless (forgot to warn).
I'll check a way to bring compatibility when you have time
D. Error 7
ROMs android 8+ require TWRP with version 3.2.3 or higher because of the security script to ensure that it will not be installed on different phones, avoiding major problems.
The Pixel Experience is no different. In order for you to have OTA updates or success in clean installation, you need to update TWRP.
Upgrade from Samsung stock ROM to latest build using ODIN 3.13.1
Also recommended for devices with Android 4.4 - 5+
Read this post.

I had to give couple of clean flashes and a lot of reboots to make it working.
Pixel setup app kept on crashing on first boot and couldn't bypass it.
Finally managed to boot.
All working fine so far but with some stutter and slowness

---

I have upgraded from Pixel Experience 8.1 with a dirty flash (only cache and dalvik wiped). It was running with the first boot. All the functionality I need is working well. But it is a little bit slower than 8.1.

I am aware of this and looking for solutions to optimize

Flashed this ROM the other day. The UI seems very slow and stutter-ish with this ROM.
I wanted to flash another ROM today, but i just noticed, that connecting via USB is not working anymore. When I go into the setting menu, everything is grayed out.
I tried different ports on my computer as well as different cables.
Does anyone have a solution for this?

Erase the system via TWRP and test without the system.

While I was trying to find a way to flash another ROM I discovered, that probably my Micro-USB-Port went bad / defective, because I would get weird behaviour when connecting it to my PC (connected - not connected - connected every 2 seconds).
So I am pretty sure this issue is hardware related. Thanks anyway for your quick response!

When you finish installing the ROM by TWRP, do the cache cleaning before you reboot, ignore all the initial configuration and make the menu settings.
