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.
I've had that before on a previous device. Turned out to be some buried Google setting that didn't have full internet access. Trouble is I can't recall which setting fixed it. Has the general Google app got full access, including 'unrestricted data usage' at the bottom?

Or, have you tried going to settings/Google/Settings for Google apps/Search, assistant and voice/Voice/Offline speech recognition/Auto-update tab and selecting Auto-update at any time?

Yes, Google App has access.

Unrestricted wouldn't matter since ASI is what handles the live translate, now playing, etc. When that globe appears, that's when I proceeded to uninstall updates to ASI, disable it, enable, update and then try again after clearing data and everything works fine(no globe). The second a reboot happens, the globe instantly pops back up, breaking these things.

Ok, sorry I maybe clutching at straws here but... what about settings/apps/download manager and clearing cache + data. Could give that a go.

I appreciate it boils down to ASI, but I'm saying it could be a 3rd party setting or app that could be preventing ASI from functioning properly
 
I'm with pixel 7, maybe a bit different with p7 pro
The torch keep turn off, but "at a glance" and quick title still show torch is on, lol

i have flashlight bug too. also random ui crashes after qs pulling down.
Do u have p7 or p7 pro?
I used torch alot and this problem happen alot...

/The problem seem gone when i connect phone to charger. Maybe something is wrong with battery management. Unplug charger, torch problem comeback.

Same. Sometimes after qs pull down, screen completely crashes into black and freezes phone for few seconds
Well I'm starting to feel like the odd one out, no such bug here... Highly doubt it makes a difference but, I have the animations set to a snappier rate for all animations in developer settings, which includes the qs pull down. Could give that a try...

Just another thought regarding you guys that have bugs... Prior to flashing EvoX, did you flash full stock rom to both slots (ie flash full stock, boot to system, back to bootloader, switch slots, flash full stock to other slot...), and did you come from flashing another custom rom?

It just animation speed, non-related with the bugs which they mention

I flashed May stock fw in both slot using flash.android.com and still having torch problem and some little lag when pull down qs

I'm having the same issue with system UI crashing & flash light not staying on. My system UI completely crashed about a half hour ago and will not work. I've even tried booting into safe mode with no luck to correct my black screen. Will flash rom again when I'm home to hopefully bring my UI back to life.

Your phone is p7 or p7 pro?

P7P, flashed from stock cheetah-tq2a.230505.002-factory-fe44ced0 then added Evolution exactly as the OP describes

Zero issues with anything.

Well, 99.999% trouble-free... I've had the flashlight bug occasionally but not every time I use it and that's really no big deal.

Battery life is good, can't say it's better than stock A13 or beta 2, but it's good.

So far I'm loving this ROM! Great job @AnierinB

Android System Intelligence can't use WiFi. Have to uninstall upgrade in store to get it to work, then it stops working again after a while.

So can't download languages nor use Now Playing, since it has no way of connecting to the WiFi.
This has been fixed and will be available in the next update.

    Can I use banking apps with this rom ?

    Also how do I go back stock if I dont like it ?

    And most importantly, can I get rid of the google search bar off the bottom of the home screen. ?

    Been years since ive flashed a custom rom, im currently on 14 beta 5.2 and wouldnt even know where to get the stock 13, im ok using adb and fastboot though
    1. Yes. SafetyNet passes straight out of the box so banking apps can be used.

    2. Use this to go back to stock.

    3. Yes you can.
    2
    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)

    2. Use this to go back to stock.

    3. Yes you can.

    Thanks for the link, that makes it dead easy to install stock.

    Just one final question, I have an esim at the moment, will that get erased along the way or is there a way too keep it.
    1
    Good news, possibly. I had to download the apk's from 3rd party websites as Gplaystore kept saying not compatible even though I used a VPN to Mexico. So, the Hey banco app was a bit outdated, but the CFE was current. Both apps, after hidng in Magisk Alpha, load fine. Whether they'll continue to function beyond the login pages is anyones guess. But they both open at least.
    Here's my MEGA folder with the files you'll need - Latest Magisk alpha, USNF and Shamiko modules. See screenshots, which I'll upload in a bit, for how I'm configured etc... Plus, obviously, magisk hide (both app and installed apps) Good luck.

    BTW, I used a vpn on mobile before opening apps

    After hiding Google Play stuff as per screenshot, you might wanna clear cache and data of those items
    Wow I did try with shamiko and hiding the app but it didn't work.
    I remember it used to work before but they updated the apps at some point and then I couldn't find any workaround.
    Thanks for testing all this, you didn't have to do it but you did, I'm gonna give it a try now :)

    EDIT: Its working! you are legend, thanks again

    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.
