What a shame, update which needs to wipe data (without any info before, i lost my data) and after update dialer forces 1080p screen resolution, which cause switching from 1440p to 1080p during answering call and UI restart.
Also USB MTP is not working properly. No connection, only charging. checked two cables and two PC.

It doesn't make any sense. It might sound criminal for many, but OOS 13 is better in every aspect than any custom ROM. Battery life, stability, UI; almost everything is better and works the way it should.

Well, Android is not a dictatorship, so you can run whatever software you wish. I've been running this fine. No issues, I can generally get a day and a half with battery. Nothing I have found is broken. Every single thing works for me. However, if you feel someone's work is not working as it should. Feel free to help the Dev by getting logcats. If that isn't your thing, maybe going back to the stock ROM is what's best. I know I appreciate the devs behind EvoX. They do good work.
Not sure why you sound so bitter. Everyone makes his own choices, however one can't deny the reality - the stock OS is better at this point of time than any other ROM.
I've seen people updating to the latest build of Evo and their data wiped without warning. The developer didn't say a word of precaution in this forum that the users data would be wiped upon the update. That's a critical oversight and logcats will not help getting your data back.
I won't say anything about other issues I encountered myself. I mentioned them earlier in this forum thread but never got any reply.
While the sixth version of EvoX (Android 12), which was based on OOS 11 worked quite well (I was very happy with it at some point), everything went downhill when the base was changed to OOS 12, including the newly-introduced absence of OOS cam.
OnePlus 8 Pro can make some beautiful videos with hyperstabilization, which no other camera applications are capable of. However, the developer straight up said he will never add the native camera back. I understand that quite a number of people couldn't care less about OOS cam, but for many that's something that would prevent from using this ROM.
Some other Android 13-based custom ROMs for OnePlus 8 series do have OOS cam, which means that the absence of it in EvoX isn't a result of a technical limitation, but rather a result of the developer's unexplained reluctance to implement the feature.
Everyone has their own views and this is mine. I do understand that all of these custom ROMs are provided for free and on "as is" basis. What I'm saying is that this one In particular isn't stable and feature-rich enough to be a daily driver.

I am in no way bitter. I am just all to familiar with the fact users generally shoot themselves in the foot. It happens. Everyone uses different apps, the amount of apps they use, how they use them. I gave you advice I would give anyone, Logcats. After 12 years of doing this, I have seen it all. So I extrapolate data based of my experience. I've read through your post and I cannot recreate any of the complaints you have. So I have to go, well, it's probably an end user issue. So no, I am not bitter. I simply expressed my thoughts with 12 years of this under my belt.
lol ' Some other Android 13-based custom ROMs for OnePlus 8 series do have OOS cam ' only namless rom LOL . oos cam is trash compared to gcam , because of that evox and other aosp rom doesn't add it for now

Thank you for your advice.
I was asking from technical POV if I can flash it over OOS 13, as most guides here are for flashing over OOS 12 .
My apologies. No, you can't flash this over OOS 13. You would need to downgrade to OOS 12 first.
Or, install the test builds that AB has already posted which are OOS13 fw based. Or, just wait a little while until they get released.
Thank you guys , guess since it is my first time flashing this device (OP8T) , I would just wait a little more until it gets released then
What I do is downgrade with MDM tooling back to OOS 11 - European model.
Then download the firmware for this model IN2023 OOS 12 - C.36 , Place it in the storage folder.
Go to settings, updates, Gear settings - Local upgrade, it sees automatically the .zip file that contains C.36 firmware of OOS 12, update to that firmware. Take a cup of coffee and wait.
Now you on OOS 12. C.36, now you can flash to the desired ROM.
Thanks me later.

1. Those builds for OnePlus 8/8Pro were updated to use qcom wrapped key encryption changes (which was clearly in the changelog). It should be a given that any changes to encryption would result in having to format data. I also intentionally mismatched the hashes in our OTA updater system so OTA would fail due to such. You know, there's a "Device Support" link in the OP thread you also could have joined to ask.
2. I've explained my stance on OOS cam multiple times. Just because "other ROMS" include it doesn't mean I have to. My ROM, my rules. Use something else if you have an issue with that as you're under no obligation to use my ROM, just as I am under no obligation to add anything I don't want to. Also, there are very impressive GCAM mods (with the appropriate XMLS) for OnePlus 8 series and we now ship Aperture from LOS, which just added support for OIS as well as 4k/60fps video recording on main lens + aux lenses.
3. "What I'm saying is that this one In particular isn't stable and feature-rich enough to be a daily driver." The ROM is pretty stable and full of features, so I don't understand what made you come to that conclusion though you are entitled to your own opinion (emphasis on opinion, as it isn't factual). I believe my user count, the amount of work I put into squashing bugs & working directly with OnePlus LOS devs to fix issues in the base device trees, etc shows the complete opposite of your "opinion".

AnierinB,
Could you please help? Tried to ADB sideload the latest rom. Now I'm getting this error:"Active slot: a
Can't load Android system. Your data may be corrupt. If you continue to get this message, you may need to perform a factory data reset and erase all user data stored on this device."
I'm heartbroken if I lose my data...

1. you can't if you are using the pixel launcherI love custom ROMs but rarely update. I cannot remember where to find settings after months of not changing anything and using the phone as is once all set up.
I updated the 3/27 build to have the 3/05 prior...it was a dirty flash (all is working with zero issues). I've sat here for a while looking for two settings I cannot find them:
1. I did not have the search bar at the bottom of the Home screen. I cannot remember how I removed it or the setting I toggled to do so. Where can I find it?
2. Clear all recent apps. When I swap up from the bottom, and see all the open apps. I had an open to "clear all" apps, but I cannot find where I toggled that option. Where can I find it?
I have looked and looked If it is gone, that helps too because I keep coming back to my phone looking for those settings.
Thx Fam
2. Swipe all the way to the left, it at the end of the lost like on stock pixel phones
Edit: It seems like my phone isn't on the high refresh rate setting so i went to check and I can't find the toggle anywhere? -

I noticed that no one replied to you. Yes, this should work, since the fix for that was merged some time ago.Has anyone tried a USB C to HDMI adapter with the OP8 and this ROM? It seems like on OOS11, it worked fine for everyone. And then apparently newer OOS it no longer worked. I don't own the adapter so I can't confirm that, but many people say it. So I wonder if it was something Oneplus broke and never fixed, which might work AOSP ROMs

The firmware is only included for 8/8 Pro. 8T/9R need to manually update it1
In my experience with the volte issue on other official roms, I found that once you boot the rom and notice volte not working if you flash the rom again it usually brings volte back. I have noticed this with custom kernels too. I first noticed this on the oneplus 6t and, later on the one plus 8. You are correct though that this rom works out of the box on first install. -

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 runadb/fastboot devices. I'm using the latest platform-tools, what could be the reason for this?
Use the official Google USB driver
Q: I'm a linux user and my device is not being listed when I runadb/fastboot devices. I'm using the latest platform-tools, what could be the reason for this?
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).
Firmware update:
FLASHING THE WRONG DDR TYPE WILL SEMI BRICK YOUR DEVICE. THE ONLY WAY TO RECOVER FROM THIS IS BY PURCHASING AN EDL DEEP FLASH CABLE AND USING IT IN-CONJUNCTION WITH MSMTOOL!!
1. Check your DDR type using the following command:
adb shell getprop ro.boot.ddr_type
0 = ddr4
1 = ddr5
if getprop returns an empty value, use the following commands instead (requires root):
adb shell su cat /proc/devinfo/ddr_type
DDR4 = DDR4
DDR5 = DDR5
1. Download and flash the firmware zip that matches your device and DDR type:
8 (instantnoodle)
8 Pro (instantnoodlep)
8T (kebab)
9R (lemonades)
2. Reboot to recovery and then sideload the ROM.
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)
Retaining root across OTA updates:
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 branch of our manifest, sync the code and lunch your device (e.g lunch evolution_instantnoodlep-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 OnePlus 6, 6T, 7, 7 Pro, 7T, 7T Pro, 8, 8 Pro, 8T, 9R, 9 & 9 Pro (enchilada, fajita, guacamoleb, guacamole, hotdogb, hotdog, instantnoodle, instantnoodlep, kebab, lemonades, lemonade & lemonadep).
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!
