[ROM][13.0_r43][OFFICIAL] Evolution X 7.9 [05/03/2023]

[moccor]

Since before phones started using "slots" I haven't kept up much with the custom ROM stuff. Does the ROM have to be flashed twice in step 2? I seen a lot of "flash, then flash again" nowadays but just wanted to be safe

Dear Anierin. You made a great rom, thank you for your efforts. I want something from you. Can you add the feature in the link? very important for security. There is no firewall in the rom.

Is it necessary to be on Oos12/13 or is LineageOs 19 good enough to flash Evolution X?

As long as you are Android 13 firmware, you are good to go.

Guys, I have installed this rom on op 8T and I have used magisk 25. Also installed Shamiko & Universal Safety net to bypass. My device is certified in play store and all safetynet passes. However I am unable to see certain apps in play store, even though they are installed in my mobile. For example "Snapchat" & "Instagram". When i search for these apps in play store I sometimes get "This app wont work for your device". What can i do to fix this? Any help would be great!

Does 5g work on your device if your network is from India region?

For me the RAM-managment is really aggressive, don't know if this is a Android 13 issue since I've mostly used Oxygen Os 11 and a bit OOS 13 using pinned apps.

But recently used apps closes regular in the background, this is observed when re-opening of said apps where the cold launch animation is shown.

I haven't found any way to mitigate this but have tried a bunch of things.

This is a google issue. Android is killing and restarting services all the time. This contributes to a big battery drain as well.

Just grep for "Killing" in the logcat and you will understand what I mean. More than 900 Kills in few hours, which means its just killing a service, and starting it right back up a little later, killing it again and starting it up again and so on....This has been done to aggressively reclaim memory, even when there is no memory pressure. One workaround I have found is to Restrict certain apps but Android still finds lots of services to keep doing this with.

And to think this happens on a 12GB memory phone is totally ridiculous! This is something that google needs to focus on. Not a fault of this ROM or this dev.

Thank you for this explanation , food to know that it's a Google thing.

And yeah, there is no memory shortage looking at the data in development settings under memory, even when looking at cached processes.

How did you go about "Restrict certain apps" ?

Note that killing and later forking tasks uses CPU and hence battery.

Its just about keeping some of the apps out of memory and not having them restart. So, let's say you have 10 apps in your phone. Android is going to try to kill and restart on a periodic basis, almost all of them and services associated with them. But if you put 5 of those apps (which you prefer not to start and sit in the background) in App Info->App Battery Usage->Restricted, you have told Android to not keep restarting those apps. You have essentially reduced the Android System battery usage.

But you have achieved more: You obviously don't want to restrict your favorite app but everything else. If you restricted 8 out of 10 apps, 2 of your favorite apps will now likely stay in memory. In fact, you can put those 2 apps as Unrestricted instead of Optimized, which is the default for most apps.

Be careful with this though. You don't want to restrict apps whose notifications you don't want to miss.

Thanks, I see what you mean, it's a bit what I've found as well, but changing a few one-time apps to restricted is a good idea to keep 4-5 of my favorites alive.

Just use (App Ops) from the store. Amazing app that gives you controle of what to restrict etc.

I've got the same since about a week. Flashing yesterday's build didn't help.
I discovered this problem with Facebook Messanger. It works fine when installed from apk file, however Google Play says it's not suitable for this phone.

On the latest build for the 8T (evolution_kebab-ota-tq1a.230205.002-02090203-unsigned.zip), Call Screening is missing from the Google Dialer. On the January update, sometimes this would happen and force closing Google Dialer fixed the issue, but now that doesn't work anymore. I confirmed with another person on the 8T this is happening.

Would be a lot more Evox users coming from Lineage if there was a Vanilla build available. Just some food for thought!

There's plenty of Rom restaurants on the marked, so it's not about whats missing on the menu, if one does not enjoy the dish, they can go else where. Not really that hard.
The real question is, what makes one enter the front door, just to tell the owner that they think, it need something special on the shelf, when there are flyers of guides (how to build a rom), that they could (or should) put their own free time into instead. Good day to you tho

I will try the rom and do my best to debloat the Google spyware. I have read very good things about the rom and I like the active development. What I know for sure is that any rom without Google will run better and that's a fact. MicroG has come very far and supports almost all Google dependent apps... Good day to you as well!

For anybody interested in debloating Google there is an interesting script that may give write access to the system partition that will allow full debloat on Android 13 and I believe the Oneplus 8T is supported.

This is a pixel oriented ROM. You're free to compile it yourself and remove gms, however we will not be providing vanilla builds. Good luck, have fun.

After the recent google cts debacle, are anyone able to pay with Google wallet with just waking up the display (small amount)?

Everything is working, no errors, passes cts but I can't pay with only waking up the display.

Don't know if this is a EvoX thing.
