Nice rom man, i'll buy you a coffe.

There is a way to add face unlock?

Crdroid android 11 has.

If i pick lib file/ system files /apk, something of this, it can works? Thanks

Edit**

Freezes sometimes rom :(
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] DarkAngelGR:
Face Unlock can't be added as we don't have permission from Motorola to include it. And you can't manually add the files needed and have it work. Regarding the freezing issue, I am working on a fix for it and will release an update soon

Works great on my Mi8 but notch annoys me a lot, is it possible to do something about it?

Like there is space for 2 sim icons and wifi, but for some reason it just shows battery and one sim only and after that is only a dot. Really annoying..

Edit: So far fixed it by setting interface size to 488dp and font size to 120%. Everything is smaller but it is still usable.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] arifqur:
1 Don't use the circular battery icon but the regular one

2 Flash Notch Notification Fix zip in recovery and then select that in Developer Options under Display Cutout
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] kether81:
Where can this zip be downloaded?

Other option is to hide the notch as can be hidden in MIUI. This could be done in developer option

Would someone be able to check for me if Qualcomm TWS+ Bluetooth codec is supported on this rom?

Thanks in advance.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] kasspy:
Fantastic Rom!! Congratulations, best Rom for the abandoned from Miui Super Mi8. Brightness bar could be place at bottom? Has it on my Mi5 Evolution X rom. Thanks a lot!.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] DefinitelyPasta:
Thank you for the reply. More specifically I'm looking for this Bluetooth codec in the developer settings if the ROM supports it.

EvolutionX_5.3_dipper-11-20210117-1245-OFFICIAL.zip

doesn't work VOLTE in sim one. and frezees sometime
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] xCalibur15:
Youtube freezes every 8-10 seconds and listening to music(spotify) audio also gets cut off every 8-10 seconds. Sometimes when I click the power button screen won't turn off, and fingerprint unlock when screen is off takes a while.

I'm on latest build

Edit: just did a clean install of the rom, and YouTube still freezes, but then audio just totally went out and when I pause and play again, seems like the problem got fixed? Anyway I'll keep on testing and try the rom with magisk
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Sld_Ultra:
Isn't that up to the manufacturer to enable the supported hardware in the said TWS, for it to work? I think I remember seeing this option in MIUI in developer options, but I don't think it worked. I have the soundcore liberty air 2.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] DefinitelyPasta:
I think it comes down to the ROM and the earphones being used. I am currently using ZenOS along with the soundpeats truengine 3se and the codec seems to work. I briefly used another ROM (can't for the life of me remember which) with these earphones and only noticed after connecting the earphones to the phone that the earphones were only connecting in master/slave mode. Checking the developer settings confirmed that the ROM didn't support the codec.

I would like to move this ROM if it supports the codec or if I can find a way to add it through magisk.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Sld_Ultra:
Been trying to see if I can force tws+ on through editing build.prop by adding persist.vendor.btstack.enable.twsplus=true. I checked the specs of my soundcore liberty air 2 and it has the QCC3020 Chipset like yours do, which supports tws+. I guess it's a problem with both my earphones and ROM.

I would have been using zenOS, if it wasn't for it causing problems during phone calls that others only hear buzzing/static or muffled sound from me until I put the phone in speaker mode. Maintainer claims I missed up my phone, but if I use miui or any other custom ROM, problem goes away.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] xCalibur15:
Alright, I installed a previous build(Jan 8) since the latest build just keeps freezing the audio. So far I haven't encounter any problems.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] DefinitelyPasta:
Thanks for trying that out and letting me know, that's actually really helpful. It's unfortunate that it doesn't seem to work for you. Do you notice a disparity in battery life between the right and left earbud? It's my main concern for not being able to use TWS+.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Sld_Ultra:
I know that for the earbud that's the current master uses more power than the slave since it's streaming the audio to it. But I get about 5-6 hours of battery for the earbud that is the master with volume at around 70-80%. I think this was a normal behavior on miui too. I just switch to the other left earbud when battery is around 30-40%, to make it the master. This evens out the usage and I get close to the 8 hours of battery life (if using 50-60% volume) it's suppose to have. So it works about the same on this ROM, but would like to try the tws+ codec if possible, maybe I won't have to keep switching earbuds if there's no master/slave thing going on.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] DefinitelyPasta:
Thank you for the detailed response. I actually never thought of switching which earbud is the current master, I may end up doing that if/when I move to this rom. From what I can tell while using my earbuds with TWS+, the battery level reduces at an equal pace (the bluetooth panel shows both battery levels) so I'm assuming both earbuds are directly connected to the phone. I feel I get more battery life than the claimed 6h for my earbuds (I've never properly tested it), but usually I'll notice that the battery will have reduced from 100% to 90% at around the 1.5 to 2h mark.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] xdamami:

I feel your enthusiasm so Im gonna to give it a try since official PE (dipper) is already dead. Yep, its not dead officialy, but consider it as a positive.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] albaoe:
OMG why dead? They released a new build yesterday. It has a new mantainer for dipper, but it's still alive.

As far as I know, it does

On the official PE thread it tooks ages or no response at all.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] d.tat:
i have same issues , they are rare and usually restart fixes them but still weird. thinking about going back 2 builds it was much more stable
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] xCalibur15:
Did you dirty flash, or did a fresh install?

I went back on previous builds because the freezing keeps coming, with or without magisk.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] DarkAngelGR:
To be honest, I use Vanced YT and I have no crashes or lags. The latest build looks good to me and system crashes are fixed. You should try doing a clean install (wiping data/or format it if you stay encrypted).
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] d.tat:
first i dirty flashed over previous update then i thought clean flash would of helped but issues presisted , without magisk or any other mods

i gotta mention this issues are very rare
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] freeman94:
So I migrated to EvolutionX rom from Pixel Experiance, and so far its good, it has more customization then PE

but one thing is not giving me peace.

The Status bar quick action are pure black but the notification below it are ugly grey, I can't seem to find customs options for it, is there a way to make it all pure black?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] DarkAngelGR:
Check the theme options
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] freeman94:
I did look all the options and can't find it

btw, the HDR confusing implementation from Xiaomi on dipper makes unable to get Youtube HDR properly (other then Stock) on Custom Roms can't be solved I suppose? I did test couple of roms from 10,11 and every is washed out, same goes for Netflix and DRM missing.

It is what it is and we need to live with that on our Mi 8 right?

And One more question, about Always on Display, as it works nice but there is missing scheduler, with the time options for it automatic turn on/off on time, as its useless over night and eat battery massivly.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] speedgeil:
Thank you for developing a Rom for this "old" device.

I'm a business photographer and i can't find any options for color spaces or natural colors.

The colors are highly oversaturated what is very problematic for judging images.

I'm coming from The Pixel Rom which had an option for that. If i remember right Lineage even had options to choose beteen different color spaces like dci-p3 and sRGB.

There is the possibility to reduce channel brightness under "live display" in this rom, but that's not what i need. It just makes colors darker and does not reduce saturation.

Colors reminding me of a candy shop here ;-)

Can you do something against this? Would highly appreciate that.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] d.tat:

1st , After Restart,, it tooks ages to reconnect to ISP. ( aproximatelly, 1minute to establish the connection).

2nd, Battery impact is the pain in the ass..it tooks 1h:47min to hit 75% of full battery charged..

Its logical.,.becaute I had the same experience on Havoc custom ROM, before.

This Evolution X is , literally, copy/paste of Havoc in back days...

Its not bad ROM, but dont expect some ultra features...
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] DarkAngelGR:
Explain how is Evolution X copy-paste of Havoc?

Evolution X literally has features from Pixel than havoc never had, the way I see it is Havoc was adding whatever feature existed, Evolution X doesn't
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] x.trinity:
Advanced features, all advanced settings ..etc..

Nevertheless, I appreciate your work. I'm not botching. Battery drain is something I already expected,because there is so many advanced options and makes up ..

Please, fix some major issues I (and other users) already refered to..

Cheers
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] DarkAngelGR:
Everyone reply to this with the issues you are having so I can take a look into them. Regarding WhatsApp calls, a user in telegram has it working fine so I think it could be only happening to the one user here. I recommend that you try flashing latest global FW as it may fixed some issues. Thanks for using Evolution X.

Hi all,

Yesterday I pulled the trigger.

Replaced my battery in my Mi8 and thought I will do a clean install of a ROM to have the maximum "new" experience.

So I did :

Edit: 0. Replaced phones battery

1. Unlock my bootloader (and therefore wipe my phone)

2. Install TWRP

3. Wiped all caches, factory reset, etc.

4. Installed EvolutionX_5.3_dipper-11-20210121-1612-OFFICIAL.zip

5. Installed magisk.zip (forgot version)

6. Restored from Google account

7. Calibrated my battery

7.1. let phone turn itself out at 0%

7.2. charge while off up to 100%

That's it.

The ROM is so f**** smooth but my battery life is worse than ever :(

10% every hour with max 2h SOT

No specific app is recognizes it just empties itself :(

Did I do somewhere something wrong?

Would love to keep this ROM, love the features and feeling.

Maybe you guys can help me here, would appreciate!
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Irish_Dude:
Hey guys

We still have to use twrp-3.4.0-10-dipper-mauronofrio for decryption to be possible with this ROM?

Reason I ask is that I am currently using orange fox 10.1 which has always been rock solid for me?

Would appreciate your input Dark Angel
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] DarkAngelGR:
If you want decryption working, then you will need TWRP 3.5, OFRP afaik doesn't support decryption for now.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] DarkAngelGR:
The battery could be faulty, or the calibration wasn't correct. Also check if you bought the correct type of battery.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] DarkAngelGR:
I am working on bringing LiveDisplay Display modes (standard, sRGB etc)
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Irish_Dude:
Can you link to the twrp 3.5 to use?

Thanks mate
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] x.trinity:
This is my SOT. This is considered as bad score.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Debty:
It was an original battery distributed by official vendor, how to check if it's faulty any idea?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] DarkAngelGR:
If I remember correctly, official batteries may have degraded as they are quite old. Although I am not sure since I never changed battery
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Debty:
No prob, it was from 09/20 production date, so pretty new.

Any idea how I can check for battery drain?

You think restoring from Google account was any problem?

When I last installed custom roms on my oneplus one, there was the thing that you had to wait some days until everything gets normal (never understood), still the case?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] DarkAngelGR:
As I said before I haven't replaced batteries on any of my phones, so I don't know much. You could also wait for a few days and see how it goes
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] nerot_ud:
I flashed somehow EvolutionX_5.3_dipper-11-20210108-1941-OFFICIAL. I could not configure the APN point in it. When entering the APN setup menu, I get the error "this user cannot change the access point settings." I press +, fill in the name and access point and press "ok", then after three points "Save". After these steps, a new APN point does not appear. When I try to add an APN again, I get a Settings app error report. Did you fix this in EvolutionX_5.3_dipper-11-20210121-1612-OFFICIAL?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] freeman94:
So, I would like to anwser to myself and help others, with AOD.

After searching all the phone settings I did find official way to make AOD auto on/off on specific time.

You need to go into settings of digital wellbeing in settings and after getting there in the top right corner 3 dots

click "beta program" and register + update the app.

After update launch the digital wellbeing one more time and you will see in the "Night Mode" additional option in the "adjust" with dimming the screen or something like that, I have UI set to Polish, so it might write differently, but u can get the point.

Hello. Yesterday I installed the rom. So far, almost everything went smooth.

Here are the small issues I encountered:

1) the record icon at the bottom left of the lock screen doesn't work

2) Personal Safety app doesn't work (there is an issue with Google Maps). But this problem was also present in PE A10

3) The option "Show ambient music wicker" has a sub-option Centered (under the cLock). Is capital L on purpose :ROFLMAO:?

4) If I cover the proximity sensors, an annoying "Long press power to interact" appears (if pocket mode is on). Is there a way to just disable ambient display when proximity sensors is covered?

5) There were few random reboots. Two of them, one or two minutes after manually rebooting the phone

6) When I type, two icons appears at the bottom of the keyboard, one for changing the keyboard and the other one to hide it. Is there a way to hide those icons which take useful screen space?

7) Edge lighting doesn't work

8) Blur in "Media cover art filter", under Lock screen setting, doesn't work.

If this is interesting, can you implement a tap on the back gesture on this rom?

There were no problems with battery / apn as other users mentioned

Can anyone suggest a good GCAM for this rom?

Has anyone figured out a solution to the problem when S2U2 is active that pressing the button on the bluetooth headset does not activate the voice dial feature? I have version .99 install and it was a known issue back then. I have not seen that any of the newer versions have a fix for this, and a search did not yield any answers...

BTW bluetooth voice dial works fine with the HTC lock/unlock program and that is my workaround when using my headset, but I would much prefer using S2U2 all the time.

That subfolder with mounted external disk drive is not visible in MX player v1.31.3 on android arm v8 NEON via Local network file browser. All other files and subfolders in "D" are visible except "D\disk".

Tryed to set shared path "D\disk" or any other combination of slashes backslashes (D:\disk, /D/disk, //D/disk) I get "Connection error" wrong IP. It seems that only top level shared folder can be referenced in shared path and not particular subfolder inside shared folder.
