Mine got stuck at 1% as i mentioned few threads ago..what i did was download the zip again, and then it had no problem installing to 100%, i did a factory reset and then rebooted. This was from a clean Jan Patch firmware already.

Development [ROM][13.0_r82][OFFICIAL] Evolution X 7.9.8 [09/19/2023]
- Thread starter AnierinB
- Start date
Ok. So after a few years of running Samsung phones with stock ROM (didn't want to blow the e-fuse and F*** knox), I smashed it (fold 3) into many pieces because it pissed me off one final time.
Now I'm using a Pixel 7 Pro.
With the stock ROM, I had several apps that just didn't work. Smart Life would take 2 minutes to load if it ever did, SofaBaton app for a remote would only load on the first run, then you had to wipe the cache and data for the app to get it to work again.
Chromecast didn't work on the stock ROM while trying to pair with a Nvidia Shield Pro.
This and many other little quirks were bothering me so I installed this ROM.
All those things work now. Battery life was kinda crap until I found out that this ROM keeps the data connection alive while using WI-FI by default. Turned it off in Dev settings, and now the ROM has great battery life.
I even got Magisk and LSPosed installed with working Google Pay and banking apps.
I'm not using WI-FI calling (what the hell for? I live in a city with excellent cell coverage) so I couldn't tell you if that works.
I particularly like the slider control for animations in dev settings. 0.1x scaling makes the phone fast without totally getting rid of the anims.
OH and the damned fingerprint scanner actually WORKS with this ROM.
With the stock ROM, I found myself having to lick my finger and wipe it off before it would recognize it.
ADB is kind of a pain in the butt sometimes (it'll take a few minutes after booting to "see" the device using a USB cable, but wireless ADB works right away if you want to screw with pairing codes.
I flashed it using Manjaro GNOME (Linux).
A question for the devs: Will there be support for video over the USB connection or is that a HW limitation?

Not quite sure the point you're trying to make, they're different launchers and ROMs. Saying something is a bug just because it behaves slightly different yet retains the same underlying functionality is inaccurate.

I'm trying to install the rom but still at 0% after 10 minutes, how can I stop the process? Thanks
I had the same issue over and over again. Eventually it worked but I think it was just luck. I flashed stock January to both slots, wiping data then followed instructions for this ROM till it worked. If it got stuck (usually at 6%) I would cancel the side load command, reboot my phone to recovery, wipe again then attempt install.
I can't remember how to stop the adb command line so I do a alt+F4, the second time the installation was ok but I did a dirty flash coming from unofficial evo, and this brought me to bootloop. So I had to stop the phone, went back to recovery and wipe data. After that the phone booted, but I had to install all my app again.
Thanks for the ROM.
Bug description: when using a shortcut (nova launcher widget or 3rd party app to lock / via the accessibility + device admin functions) to lock the device (which is IMO the most elegant and convenient way to do so) the screen does not turn off, it first shows the lockscreen for a second and then turns off. Feels like some annoying flickering every time locking. Other ROMs (Graphene OS, Statix OS, Stock ROM) don't do this.
How to reproduce: use shortcut to lock screen of Pixel 7
Logcat: s.a.
Screenshots: not needed

EDIT: to get rid of the effect I activated the old school CRT-off animation

Do you guys flash using a proper data cable? Some time ago I was using a not that good cable for sideloading ROMs on my Pixel 6 and it got stuck again and again until I used the original cable. By now I got me a high quality pretty long cable and all works. Seems like the newer Pixels in combination with some USB hubs/controllers don't like every cable.
I'll look into this. Thanks for following post #3 by providing logs and an accurate description of the issue.

Yes I use the original cable, I install unofficial and official evol with sideload command, and I had to do the install twice for the two roms. Don't know why.
Thank you for the rom. It's so smooth and everything just works. Battery life has been great, better than the stock rom. I haven't had any issues so far and it's been a week. I will update if I find anything wrong.
I am just using the one it came with. I went to bed with 100% and woke up with 98%. About 6 and a half hours.

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 items2
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 again2
Sounds like a you problem. Can't say you followed the instructions when you literally just said you accidentally did X. Pass
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 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

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) -

23Commonly 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 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: 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!13February patch builds for Panther & Cheetah are now available via OTA
