Great Job! it works perfectly and nice battery optimization!

Just a general question - I'm running the AICP ROM - Android 10 - at the moment. If I flash this Android 11 ROM will I have any difficulty going back to Android 10?

I only ask because downgrading Android versions on this phone has proved pretty much impossible so far - and I LOVE the ROM I'm running at the moment

You will be able to go back to android 10 easily.

This ROM looks great! One big problem I encountered was that I couldn't flash Magisk after I installed GAPPS. Constant error messages. Booted the ROM without root and tried various versions of Magisk via TWRP - without success.

Any advice anybody? I'm back to my previous ROM (AICP) but I'd love to give this version of Evolution a proper try!

You shouldn't even be installing gapps on evolution X as they have them built in

Ok, well I'll make sure not to do that again!
That wouldn't explain why I can't get magisk up and running though, surely?

In theory magisk should just work by flashing the latest in recovery

Hi.
I want to know:

Do calls work (whatsapp and/or voice or both)?
I am asking because of this issue I had with Lineage OS 17.1 where I literally didn't know if someone was calling. Because there was no ringtone, no call screen nothing. Hence I want to know about calls.

It is mentioned above that it is evolution x for hero2lte. Will it work on herolte??

Can someone tell me how good it is in terms of day to day performance and battery life?

Is it better than lineage os 18.1(android 11) in performance and battery life??
I am currently using FloydQ rom and the performance is bad. Time to time freezing and other annoying stuff.

PS: please tell me how good the gaming mode is. i.e does it make any noticeable difference or impact on games?

Thanks in advance

Worked fine. Nav bar function kind of sketchy so I'm opting out for now

- Audio: Reworked incall audio handling in mixer paths to disable 2nd mic that was picking up noise

I would like to know which file (mixer_paths.xml ?) needed what modification, another type phone has the same problem and maybe a similar solution fix the problem.
Thanks.

The main download link is dead, the mirrored one ended up downloading herolte version instead of hero2lte which ended up failing to flash on my Samsung S7 Edge

 

[Deleted member 7504599]

Is speakerphone issue (samsung license etc.) solved? With lineage os i cannot use it because calling and speaking over speakerphone doesn't work. Because called person and me get an echo.

 

[expressluke]

Just will announce here, version 5.9.3 Ocean is now available. Download rom the link in the first post (OP).

Just note adb wired isn't working, wireless is working however.

 

[jamboss]

[trotos]

[djedje31]
