MUST READ​

Some notes:​

- This is my initial build, intended for applying as official EvoX maintainer for surya as previous official maintainer retired from maintaining this device. Thus I'm not sure about the future of this build series but at least I will keep it security patched every month. I decided to drop maintainer application, I will maintain this ROM independently.

- I built this ROM for stable, generic using, NOT focus on gaming/better battery life or whatsoever. There have been no actual better FPS or battery life by using a specific kernel or ROM. Though if you want me to custom build this ROM for you (such as custom kernel like mainline kernel or device tree), reach me via Telegram.

- I do not offer private support, if you face any trouble just post the issue here. Or if you prefer community support, head over to this ROM's official chat on Telgram or Poco X3 users community on Telegram.

- Automatically installed Google Camera won't work, please uninstall it.

- For all ROM updates, please join this Telegram channel.

About Google Photos unlimited storage​

All builds after 30 Dec. had this issue fixed! You don't have to do anything!
I don't know whether Google Photos allow to store your pictures in what quality. But do not update Google Photos app until a solution is found.
If you accidentally did it, or Google Play Store updated it, do:
1. Go to Photos' app info, tap Storage & cache, tap Manage space and tap Delete.
2. Go back to app info, tap 3 dots icon on top right corner, tap Uninstall updates, tap OK.
3. Go to Play store, search for Google Photos, tap 3 dots icon on top right corner and uncheck Enable auto update.

Development update:​

EvoX team still does not care about my maintainership application. Guess I'll maintain this by myself continuously then.
Many of you may concern about "UNOFFICIAL" tag but all of my builds should be far more perfect than "OFFICIAL". It's just a tag to have the ROM ability to update over OTA, nothing else or even in contrast, having "OFFICIAL" status will negatively affect development for this ROM. So yes, you can do banking without any risk with the highest security you could have nowadays and no, I do not implement any spying code because I have no such ability to do that and your data worth nothing to me. Everything I do on this ROM must be stable and secure enough, no bulls**t allowed.
"What do you want in return?" you may ask. Well, just say a thank to me or you can support me financially by donating via Paypal as always. Those already helped me a lot.

WARNING:​

- There is no recovery that supports storage encryption yet. It will cause your phone in endless bootloop and you have to wipe and format data to save your phone. So consider not to store sensitive data on your phone yet or just not bring it outside for now.

4 Jan, 2022 Development update:​

Hi all, due to Evolution X's features made up some bugs that would take me a lot of time to fix it alone so I'd like to announce the deprecation/abandon for this EvoX ROM build series. I'm going back to school with big exams coming through, forced me to make this decision.
I'd like to apologize for disappointed all of my ROM users right now, and also thank you for being with me since this thread was made. It's been a great journey.
For now, you may want to...

• Continue to use 30 Dec build (below) if security monthly patch isn't a thing to you.
• Hop over to PixelExperience (OSS), ParanoidAndroid (CAF) or AOSPK (OSS + CAF) of CHRISL, they're well made. My GPhotos patch is arriving to those ROMs.

Sure thing I'll be back to Android ROM development later this year, could be around Sept. to Dec..

Great to see another ROM for this device i hope you'll get it to the official status!

Is it possible to reverse the navigation buttons? I'd like to have the recents button in the left.

Tks for new rom.

- Google Photos: as I mentioned in Features, this rom does support Google Photos unlimited backup. But DO NOT update Google Photos app as Google is trying to patch over the community props spoofing. Turn off the auto update in Google Play and if you accidentally updated the app, just uninstall the update.
I will try to fix it whenever a new patch is available.

- Hidden gesture bar: Yes, I'm using it.

Thanks, I'll flash your rom soon! For updates and bug reporting, is XDA or telegram the preferred channel?

As I wrote in notes:

if you face any trouble just post the issue here

So currently XDA.
That Telegram channel is general for Poco X3 device with other ROMs.
Thanks for choosing my build! I hope you enjoy it!

Does it support updates in the settings

 

[Wello6143]

Does it support updates in the settings

I'm sorry but this feature is unimplementable for unofficial ROM for now.

This rom is smooth and battery life is good. But when i connected my bluetooh airpod, and turn on audio book app, first time was ok but later my phone always restarted.
I came back A11 right now..

 

[qu38mm]

ROMs pretty solid. I have issues with gestures where sometimes ill try to home and it'll get stuck on the left side back gesture with the lil icon there.

Hi!
This ROM seems to have broken mifare classic support, and right now I am checking through some stuff, but setting LEGACY_MIFARE_READER in /vendor/etc/libnfc-nci.conf to 0 (which when set to 1 fixes it in some ROMs, ironically) makes it read my bus card correctly. I am not sure of side effects and I doubt they exist, given that phone read fine my nfc tag that I set to just open browser page
