You tell me :cool:

DO NOT FLASH GAPPS, ALREADY INCLUDED

VvzRh0K.png

Commonly asked questions & answers:

Q: Why am I getting "error cannot read" while attempting to sideload the ROM
Well, you should be using the latest platform-tools and have it added to PATH. A lot of unofficial drivers floating around on the internet install outdated adb/fastboot along with the drivers. Please refrain from installing these as well as minimal adb & fastboot; Use the official google driver and official platform-tools instead.

Alternatively you can prefix each adb/fastboot cmd with ./ while in the platform-tools folder via powershell or bash, etc.

For example:
./adb sideload ./rom.zip

This basically tells the shell "Hey, I want to execute this local binary rather than the one in PATH".

Q: I'm a windows user and my device is not being listed when I run adb/fastboot devices. I'm using the latest platform-tools, what could be the reason for this?


Q: I'm a linux user and my device is not being listed when I run adb/fastboot devices. I'm using the latest platform-tools, what could be the reason for this?

Q: Will you release builds in the update.zip format?
No, we will not be releasing builds in that format due to a handful of reasons; The main reason being that it is not able to be installed via OTA and is incompatible with our official devices infrastructure.

Q: Why is MTP and/or Android Auto not working?
Set the default USB configuration in Settings > The Evolver > Miscellaneous > USB Configuration

Don't see your question? Well, feel free to post a comment in this thread, we will reply as soon as we can. We'd appreciate if users used XDA FIRST and the telegram group as a LAST RESORT.

To be continued (I'm sure).

Custom Kernels:

Custom kernels may be flashed at YOUR OWN RISK. However, we will not provide extended support regarding such and it is up to YOU, the end user to make your reports in the appropriate thread for X kernel, not in this thread.

Obtaining root:
Let it be known that we will not assist anyone with bug reports until they have disabled all modules and restored to the default, unpatched kernel that is shipped with the ROM!

Root can be obtained by either one of the following methods.

1. Download the Magisk.apk on your pc (you can change the file extension to .zip if you wish, though it is not required.
2. Reboot to recovery
3. Navigate to Apply update -> Apply from ADB
4. adb sideload magisk.apk (replace "magisk" with actual filename)
1. Download the full rom.zip from post #2 of this thread
2. Download payload-dumper-go that corresponds to the architecture of your pc
3. Run payload-dumper-go against the rom.zip
4. Grab boot.img from the extracted folder and transfer it to your device
5. Patch the boot.img with the magisk application and transfer the patched image to your pc
6. Reboot to bootloader
7. fastboot flash boot boot.img (replace "boot" with actual filename)

When an OTA update is available, let it download and install. Before rebooting simply open Magisk Manager and click on the first "install" button and select "install to inactive slot". Once it's done, reboot and enjoy.

Reporting bugs and submitting logs:

In most cases logs should be provided when reporting bugs. This can be done by enabling USB debugging in developer options of the device, connecting it to your PC and running one of the following cmds depending on the type of bug/issue while reproducing it:

General system log
adb logcat > logcat.txt

Kernel log
adb shell su -c dmesg > dmesg.log

Please provide a detailed description of the bug/issue as well as link/upload the log you had taken.
There are exceptions to this as some issues are unable to be caught in logs. In this case, it is expected that users provide clear and accurate steps to reproduce the issue.

Getting involved in the development:

We've set everything up in such a way where all you need to do is install AOSP build dependencies, initialize a repo client, init the tiramisu-pixel branch of our manifest, sync the code and lunch your device (e.g lunch evolution_cheetah-userdebug); Roomservice will automatically sync all device specific dependencies for you to compile without error. There is no need to manually clone anything due to this and applies to Pixel 6, 6 Pro, 6a, 7 & 7 Pro (oriole, raven, bluejay, panther & cheetah).

Device and ROM source changes can be submitted on github to the appropriate repositories by making pull requests via comparing forks. Please follow the google patch format for commits and triple check your changes by compile testing and verifying they're correct. Please retain proper authorship if you are not the author!

Just bought and am getting my new P6 Pro ROM'd. I am rusty with everything, as I managed a year and a half without updating ROMs etc, on my previous phone (SGS20).

I am running SDK tools that I downloaded yesterday (from android.com)--adb/fastboot, etc dropped in to C:\windows.
Drivers were d/l yesterday (android.com) and attributed to the phone in device manager
Phone is on the Jan '23 official release
Phone is BL unlocked/rooted on stock
vendor_img flashed fine

sideload--Using cmd or powershell, i'm getting:

ERROR: recovery: footer is wrong
ERROR: recovery: Signature verification failed
ERROR: recovery: error: 21
ERROR: recovery: Failed to find update binary META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary
Install completed with status 2
Installation aborted


Anybody have any advice--any support would be appreciated.

Sounds like you aren't in Evo recovery. Return to step 2 of the installation instructions and continue with the guide exactly as written.

Rebooted computer. Reinstalled drivers. Still nothing. Attached is where I'm doing the sideload...everything matches your instructions.

EDIT: managed to install a different ROM via this method. So, my assumption is there is something wrong with the package.

There isn't anything wrong with the rom.zip or vendor_boot. Not quite sure what you're doing wrong however I've had multiple people from all three devices confirm the installation process worked for them. Good luck

I ended up flashing this with Lineage recovery, there's something wrong with the Oriole vendor_boot. It won't boot recovery with it flashed, just goes to bootloader.

adb sideload is taking forever
anyone else facing this?

Can I flash this with fastboot update rom.zip ?

Stuck here for the last 20 mins:

C:\_Android\platform-tools_r33.0.3-windows\platform-tools\Evo-X>adb sideload evolution_oriole-ota-tq1a.230105.001.a2-01291005-unsigned.zip

    just patch dumped boot image with magisk and then flask kerlen
    You mean-
    1. Extract the boot.img from payload.bin of Evolution X
    2. Patch that boot.img with magisk app on the phone
    3. Flash the patched boot.img in bootloader
    4. Flash kernel
    But kiri's kernel is zip format, how do I flash it?

    Having issues with Google photos spoofing... All uploads are counting towards my data storage. I have tried to untick reboot, and retick and reboot. When I unticked, photos doesn't mentioned unlimited photo storage, with the toggle ticked it does say unlimited storage, but doesn't "work" View attachment 5838749
    Fixed
    Latest OTA update (evolution_oriole-userdebug 13 TQ1A.230205.002 1676778643) shows device as unsupported every time you open the phone app and disabled translation in live caption
    Fixed
    2
    Looks like a new update was posted on Sourceforge, but the OTA isn't showing an update available
    seems it's because he hasn't updated the version on git , i was looking forward to the changelog of this update , i updated and nothing new but 3 buttons on the multitasking screen , and the error gcam lag when turning off navigation bar is still there
    2
    On latest build , flashed via ota and install magisk to inactive slot and running great and I love the new signal icons added, like I said before the most themeable rom ive used since my GS3 and I love theming so it is awesome 😎💯

    No matter what ROM I use, I find myself always coming back to this one

    I've been searching and tried all the custom ROMs out there and this one is literally the best one.

    So many customizations definitely recommended for all pixel 6 pro users (raven)
    Yes! - Big "thanks" to the best maintainer ever -> AnierinB

    Getting some random reboots on oriole; specifically I'm finding it on the "password required after system restarts" screen when it's been left untouched for a couple of hours. Logs state "APC Watchdog" as the reason. Going to disable LSposed for a while to clean up the logs and then get some logs of this (and also the weird "first call immediately after being idle for a while doesn't connect" thing) if possible, but that may be a bit being that both seem random for me.

    Q: Why is MTP and/or Android Auto not working?
    Set the default USB configuration in Settings > The Evolver > Miscellaneous > USB Configuration

    Don't see your question? Well, feel free to post a comment in this thread, we will reply as soon as we can. We'd appreciate if users used XDA FIRST and the telegram group as a LAST RESORT.

    To be continued (I'm sure).

    Custom Kernels:

    Custom kernels may be flashed at YOUR OWN RISK. However, we will not provide extended support regarding such and it is up to YOU, the end user to make your reports in the appropriate thread for X kernel, not in this thread.

    Obtaining root:
    Let it be known that we will not assist anyone with bug reports until they have disabled all modules and restored to the default, unpatched kernel that is shipped with the ROM!

    Root can be obtained by either one of the following methods.

    1. Download the Magisk.apk on your pc (you can change the file extension to .zip if you wish, though it is not required.
    2. Reboot to recovery
    3. Navigate to Apply update -> Apply from ADB
    4. adb sideload magisk.apk (replace "magisk" with actual filename)
    1. Download the full rom.zip from post #2 of this thread
    2. Download payload-dumper-go that corresponds to the architecture of your pc
    3. Run payload-dumper-go against the rom.zip
    4. Grab boot.img from the extracted folder and transfer it to your device
    5. Patch the boot.img with the magisk application and transfer the patched image to your pc
    6. Reboot to bootloader
    7. fastboot flash boot boot.img (replace "boot" with actual filename)

    When an OTA update is available, let it download and install. Before rebooting simply open Magisk Manager and click on the first "install" button and select "install to inactive slot". Once it's done, reboot and enjoy.

    Reporting bugs and submitting logs:

    In most cases logs should be provided when reporting bugs. This can be done by enabling USB debugging in developer options of the device, connecting it to your PC and running one of the following cmds depending on the type of bug/issue while reproducing it:

    General system log
    adb logcat > logcat.txt

    Kernel log
    adb shell su -c dmesg > dmesg.log

    Please provide a detailed description of the bug/issue as well as link/upload the log you had taken.
    There are exceptions to this as some issues are unable to be caught in logs. In this case, it is expected that users provide clear and accurate steps to reproduce the issue.

    Getting involved in the development:

    We've set everything up in such a way where all you need to do is install AOSP build dependencies, initialize a repo client, init the tiramisu-pixel branch of our manifest, sync the code and lunch your device (e.g lunch evolution_cheetah-userdebug); Roomservice will automatically sync all device specific dependencies for you to compile without error. There is no need to manually clone anything due to this and applies to Pixel 6, 6 Pro, 6a, 7 & 7 Pro (oriole, raven, bluejay, panther & cheetah).

    Device and ROM source changes can be submitted on github to the appropriate repositories by making pull requests via comparing forks. Please follow the google patch format for commits and triple check your changes by compile testing and verifying they're correct. Please retain proper authorship if you are not the author!
