Update your Android device unofficially!

by

Android 13 is now making the rounds everywhere. If you have a recent Google Pixel smartphone, you should already be sampling the latest version of Android. This update to Android can be considered incremental in nature, but that in no way detracts from the improvements it brings. Nevertheless, unless you have a supported Google Pixel device or one of the few non-Google smartphones with a “Developer Preview” program, chances are you’ll have to wait a few months for your OEM to get the latest dessert on your phone. .

This is where the XDA developer community comes in – groups of talented individuals working together to achieve the common goal of getting the latest Android onto devices before the OEM can, and in many cases because the OEM can’t.

With a myriad of official and unofficial builds of Android 13-based custom ROMs popping up, we thought it would be a good idea to create an index of devices that have Android 13 ports available. Please note that these are aftermarket builds and some will most likely contain bugs. Read the first few posts of each linked thread so you know the current status of the build before flashing it on your phone.

Remark: In this article, we only provide a link to the first Android 13 custom ROM that we come across for a particular device in our forums. This does not serve as an endorsement of that particular build, nor are we suggesting that the work of others should be ignored. We limit what we link to to avoid making this article too long. Visit the XDA forums for your device to see if there are other, possibly more complete builds available.

Android 13 Google apps

Not all custom ROMs come with Google apps pre-installed, meaning you may need to grab a suitable GApps distribution to get them. If you are looking for an Android 13 compatible GApps package, then you will be happy to know that the administrators have laid the groundwork to support the latest version of Android. We will list them here once the first phase of testing is completed.

Android 13 has only been around for a few days, but we are already seeing a lot of great ROMs on our devices. This is part of the beauty of the XDA community and we have to commend the hardworking developers leading the forefront of Android 13 ROMs for users around the world. So if you come across a build for your device, consider yourself lucky and don’t forget to say “thanks!”
