Is this rom discontinued ?

Does anyone have night light working on this rom?

If you do not like Bedtime mode, then you can install a separate application e.g. MacroDroid and create a macro.

Okay. Thanks
I thought I broke something on my side. I'll try the macrodroid.

Considering that we've been getting updates monthly, I don't think it's discontinued... Hopefully, the next update will drop before the end of the month.

Already having latest EvolutionX on the phone, meaning I already have done all the clean install steps earlier.
Will trying to dirty flash with this rom certainly cause a bootloop, or have someone tried this already?

I dirty flashed this rom on an earlier version of evolution x rom and it worked without problem.
However, I have not tried it with the latest version.

Just tried a dirty flash with SparkOS 13.5 over EvolutionX. It booted up ok but it keep complaining about Google services not installed, and a few other things not working as it should.
For now It just dirtyflashed EvolutionX again to get it working. I guess I need to format the data partition and start from scratch to try this rom. Maybe I try that later.

Hi,

Did someone tried to flash vendor.zip then dirty flash over Spark OS 13.4 ?
Is it mandatory to clean flash even on 13.4 release ?

I tried without formatting the data partition, but Spark does not start. I used the version with gapps.
So I recommend to backup in TWRP the data partition to SD memory, as a proven way to preserve your own settings.
After formatting the data partition, boot the system and finish the basic configuration. Unfortunately, TWRP flashing after installing Spark 13.5 was unsuccessful, so reverting to TWRP requires flashing again.

adb reboot bootloader fastboot boot .\bootable_twrp-3.5.2_with_tissot_manager.img

TWRP will boot automatically, so you can restore the saved data partition right away. After the reboot, enjoy the restored settings.
Hopefully someone can confirm that you don't lose your own StarkOS settings this way.

 

[Oxejatte]

Strange behavior for me, i followed the updated instructions in first post and before doing anything backup data to external SD Card.
Using bootable_twrp-3.5.2_with_tissot_manager.img as suggested.

1. Flash TWRP with treble support : Ok​
2. Install vendor--adder.zip : Ok​
3. Flash ROM zip : Ok​
4. Flash TWRP : Ok​
5. Format data : Ok​
6. Warning before reboot : no system installed​

When i tried to reboot no system in slot A or B
Repeated twice the instructions same result, had to sideload Rom.zip in step 3 to see the light.
After restoring datas a suggested by ze7zez my settings was restored, just had to clear cache of some apps and system apps.

It's ok now

 

[ze7zez]

In my opinion, in stage 4 you should do the same as in stage 1.
It seems that the previously used TWRP does not see the partition correctly after flashing vendor--adder.zip so you must henceforth use installer_twrp-3.5.2_with_tissot_manager.zip.
The optional flashing of TWRP is for someone who does not like the stock recovery.

 

[Oxejatte]

Unfortunately I had to go back to the 13.4 version, for a daily use I have too many bugs.

Even after a clean installation (wipe data,dalvik,cache), at the first startup without restoring my settings or anything else, I lose my mobile and phone connections regularly, the icons disappear (double simcard).

A window "com.android.phone stops" as well as "com.phone.settings stops" appears constantly and after a while the phone reboots by itself.

Even after deleting data and caches the bugs reappear.

After restoring datas, I can't unlock the phone, the code is not accepted anymore, I had to delete the locksettings.db file through TWRP.

Perhaps i'm not following well instructions and i'll retry later, don't know why it doesn't work for me as i'm happy with previous releases.

Hi

Thanks for a very good and stable rom!!! I am using 13.5.
I have 2 questions:

1. I don't see the OTA option anywhere in the settings.
2. I am using an ultra mobile sim card (T-mobile), the phone is on airplane mode with wi-fi on and wifi calling on. I receive calls and sms without any issues but the wifi calling icon is not showing in the notification/status area. The only way to check if wifi calling is working is swiping down to expand notification as per the second picture.


any advice?

Thanks

Hi,

Can anyone using 2 sim cards simultaneously confirm the correct operation with the last 2 roms (13.5 & 13.5.5) ,13.4 version works perfectly.

On a clean installation without any application installation or TWRP flash at the first startup, before finishing first configuration, the mobiles signals disappear and reappear constantly causing a crash of the "com.android.phone" application and a reboot of the phone without any interaction.
Had to revert to 13.4.

Regards

Normally I use 1 SIM + SD Card. Now I put 2 sim in place of SD Cart and confirm: crash of the application and after a while reset of the phone.

Thank you very much ze7zez for confirming this issue, this bug was driving me crazy.
2 simcards are mandatory for me (work,home)
As i would like to stay using Spark OS i hope developper will fix this on next release., no rush as i'm on 13.4 now and it's ok.
