Dont act like its flawless. I see many bugs. lol

for example, changing brightness needs to be done twice, before it takes effect on my EvoX.
another example - while unlocking via gesture, gesture path is slown kinda laggy.
There is many more.
Not even stock Roms are flawless. Due to the amount of customization and the effort it takes to keep a lot of these features as security patches come out, changing God knows what, this is probably one of the best custom roms to date and has continued to improve across multiple devices ( I used evolution x on my pixel 5) and its improved more and more since then! As phones become more secure. Some features will either change or disappear entirely if a patch prevents it from functioning the way it should. Ex: (A little while back LineageOS "temporarily" got rid of their "slide status bar to adjust brightness feature.") Hopefully it will reimerge as it's been there for as long as I can remember but based on the luck we've had with twrp for quite sometime, there are some features that may be patched forever unless someone finds a work around.

Happy Romming!

Anyone got some lag after OTA update newest patch?
Do i need wipe data after OTA update?
When i first download and install OTA , auto update close in background, i must download again but failed to install, i must manual restart phone...
Now the phone have some lag problem, heating...
I had similar issues on last update. Idk if it will help but I flashed latest kirisakura kernel and it fixed it. Sorry if this doesn't help. Just a thought.

In the latest build there is issue with Android System Intelligence app.
It is not able to connect to internet that's why I cannot seem to download languages for offline voice recognition.

Could be due to your preferences for Google. Just tried to download other languages, no issues at all. That is using settings/Google/settings for Google apps/search assistant and voice/voice/offline speech recognition... You referring to the same setting?

Edit: have you got data enabled as per the screenshots...?

Yes this same setting.
I have the data available for all apps but Android System Intelligence is greyed out.
Also, I faced the same flashlight issue that one person mentioned above.
I think this new build might have these issues because before that I had Evo X and that build worked fine.
Pixel 7 Pro.

Strange. My settings are greyed out too but work fine... Not sure what to suggest... Did you clean install? If not, could try backing up apps with data and WiFi settings, call logs, sms etc if you're rooted then clean install. I use swift backup from playstore

I did clean flash.
I also noticed one minor issue this is with all roms.
In stock GCam, Cinematic Pan video mode gives choppy slo-mo pans.
Stock gives smooth 30fps(60fps slowed down)
In custom roms it gives 15fps(30 fps slowed down)

Hmm odd. What about firmware, were you on stock A13, not beta? Maybe you were on stock May f/w?

I moved to this rom from April stock f/w. Updated dirty via ota to latest build

Yeah I flashed May Stock before flashing this.
Should I try Beta stock?
Nooo, not as far as I'm aware... Will have another read of OP but pretty sure it says to NOT use the beta builds. If you're gonna try another stock base rom, could try April.

EDIT: this is from OP 'Please note that the required April/May firmware images are shipped with these builds. However, you will need to be on STOCK stable April/May prior to following these instructions, not QPR BETAS OR A14DP! This includes having custom kernels installed. STOCK MEANS STOCK!'

It's definitely bugged currently.

It works through loops and hoops by uninstalling update sand disabling, but when you reboot, it'll stop working again.

If you open up live caption, live translate, or the now playing screen, you should get a globe in the top right corner indicating that ASI doesn't have network access, but you can't change it because it's grayed out.

Anyone having issues with Now Playing showing no internet connection? It worked until about 20 minutes ago. On 5/31 release. I've disabled and reenabled as well as rebooted the device. Shows the same on wifi and on cellular.

Edit: currently working again after making post

Hmm not too sure what you mean. I don't use live captions but have just tried it, works fine. Although I can't see any globe showing restricted access in the top right corner...

It's this screen here.

Uninstalling, disabling, and updating methods make it work for some time, but a reboot brings it back to this.

I was able to enable it as long as I didn't reboot once I got it working. Once the reboot happens, it's back to restricted network access and being unable to download additional languages in love translate.

Happened during 2 clean flashes.

    O.K..
    I was tired of waiting for stable A14 so i decided to go back to stable 13.
    Then my flash itch came back..

    Coming from other devices and so many unofficial roms. I see the difference in building communities on this form.
    This rom feels like stock with extra features.

    Rooting is just like rooting the stock rom.
    zero complaints no issues using radioactive kernel.
    You guys rock I stand corrected..

    i think i break my device i followed your instructions for cheetah and then rebooted my device by mistake without installing the rom and now there's an infinite loopboot and cant access fastboot nor recovery :C
    Sounds like a you problem. Can't say you followed the instructions when you literally just said you accidentally did X. Pass

    I second this, the Pixel 7a version has the 90hz slider missing. Any ideas?

    Also, the OTA section is missing for the Pixel 7a as well. Other that that it works great 👍
    90hz will be fixed on the next release. You can access it via QS for the time being. And the OTA updater has been intentionally removed for preparation for A14. Not a bug.

    I didn't want to mess with kernel installation etc. since I am not a techie person. I mostly work from home and on WIFI so my battery drain is minimal. Could you link me up? At least I can take a look. Thnx

    I am actually enjoying the rooted Evox ROM. I had always had rooted Note 4 thru N20. Switched to Pixel only because of ability to root.
    Ok dude... 1st thing you need to check is whether verity and verification are disabled. Now, most roms require you do this at 1st clean flash but for me, using EvoX, it seems it's disabled from the start automatically because I can't recall disabling myself at 1st flash.




    So, if you want to check whether verity and verification is disabled for you...
    1. flash this module (avbctl-module-android-13.0.0_r11-panther.zip) in magisk. Have you flashed modules, are you familiar? I'll assume you are.
    2. Download a terminal emulator from playstore... such as this one
    3. Open [Material Terminal] and type 'su' + enter/return and grant su rights when prompted by magisk. That'll give you root access.
    4. Run 2 CMDs once root has been granted... 'avbctl get-verity' (+enter), followed by 'avbctl get-verification'.
    Both should be disabled in order to flash some kernels. Doing the above CMDs doesn't change anything, it just checks the current status.

    Providing both are disabled, you can go ahead and flash a kernel, such as Kiri or Radioactive

    Currently I'm using Kernel flasher to backup existing kernel and flash new.
    Install the app, backup existing kernel (tap 'view' on active slot, tap 'backup' and check all img options, tap 'backup')
    Go back to active slot and tap 'flash', then 'Flash AK3 Zip' and navigate to your downloaded RadioactiveKernel_PANTAH_v1.1.2.zip (ASSUMING YOU ARE RUNNING LATEST EvoX ROM VERSION - AUGUST BUILD). Then tap 'flash' and reboot. That's it.




    I know that's a lot of instruction for some fairly simple steps, but I wanted to be clear as poss. Good luck if you do decide to go ahead and enjoy.

    When updating via OTA (or flashing updates) it'll overwrite your custom kernel, so you'll need to check verity/verification again and reflash the corresponding kernel version - ie If you update to Sept build of EvoX, wait for kernel release and then flash Sept build of custom kernel. Don't flash a newer kernel on an older rom or you may have issues (I think, iirc)

    Commonly asked questions & answers:

    Q: Why am I getting "error cannot read" while attempting to sideload the ROM or are unable to fastboot flash vendor_boot
    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 init_boot.img from the extracted folder and transfer it to your device.
    5. Patch init_boot.img with the magisk application and transfer the patched image to your pc.
    6. Reboot to bootloader.
    7. fastboot flash init_boot init_boot.img (replace "init_boot.img" 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 & 7a (oriole, raven, bluejay, panther, cheetah & lynx).

    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!

    It's a server side issue on googles end regarding CTS since this morning on multiple device, not just p7 series running customs. Please keep in mind this is separate from SN not passing by default without modules (which was already fixed, but now there's this).
    Anyways, this was resolved. Builds will be out sometime tomorrow.
