[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jake.99x3:
Yes but I am unsure if it's as simple as factory resetting then following the first time install instructions. Is it safe to flash after factory reset on November update or should I go to February then March
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] lilila:
Have to update to march bootloader and radio first.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jake.99x3:
Thank you my friend. Is it ok to update from November directly to March or should I do November -> February -> March
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] dmbardal:
Just use the official browser-flasher and update to March. No need to update to Dec, Jan and Feb first.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Homeboy76:
So, you have to flash the March stock bootloader and radio before doing a factory reset and flashing this ROM. I didn't know that. You sir have learnt me something. :)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] dmbardal:
Well no, but its always best to clean flash just in case.

I never dirty-flash anymore (many dirty-flash after flashing bootloader and radio manually).

Pixel flasher via web to stock -> flash custom ROM.

Best way to avoid issues.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jake.99x3:
Cheers. I appreciate the help, my last rooted device was a galaxy s4 haha. I didn't even know about the web flasher
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] rafik25:
You mean Android Flash tool ?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] dmbardal:
Thats the one!

Hi, can anyone tell me where the extra settings for launcher went, I'm not able to find those in the latest build!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Joe199799:
How would I go about installing this rom? I just switched from a OnePlus 7t pro McLaren. It appears this phone is actually quite difficult to flash a custom ROM on as if you don't do it right you can easily brick it. Do I need to be on a specific firmware version or is it just flash vendor boot.img wipe and flash? I just want to be sure I literally just bought this phone (I am experienced in doing this stuff just reading around regarding this phone has me slightly worried)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] AnierinB:
Everything you need to know is mentioned in the OP.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Joe199799:
I completely missed that I apologize thank you
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Joe199799:
I am having a very strange issue. On wifi I cannot receive calls text are fine but calls fail no matter what.

Ok even weirder switching to LTE while on wifi seems to fix the issue (along with turning off wifi calling and vo5g) not sure what the issue is

Even further weirder switching back to 5g while on wifi seems to stick and I can take phone calls

Ok it seems hit or miss and seems like 5g is the issue zero issues on LTE standalone or on wifi but switching to 5g with wifi on or without sometimes it works other times it doesnt
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Pek2:
HELLO GOOD DOES ANYONE KNOW IF YOU CAN INSTALL 32-BIT APK WITH THIS ROM I AM VERY HAPPY WITH MY PIXEL BUT IT WON'T LET ME INSTALL 32-BIT APK, ONLY 64-BIT THANK YOU
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] juaki:
a question and it may be a silly question but I come from models that are not pixel. If I install a custom ROM (lineage, evolutionX...) does the quality of the camera go down? still a pixel.thank you
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] AnierinB:
Yes, you can use 32bit apps on evo for cheetah/panther.

No, the quality will remain the same.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Pek2:
hello Family again!!! I come from pixel 6 pro and I also had this fantastic rom, there was a problem with smart charging in the google wireless dock...has that been fixed out of curiosity??? THANK YOU AND CONGRATULATIONS TO THE TEAM FOR THIS GREAT WORK!!!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] smorpaket:
Not to my knowledge.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] just a bird xo:
Is anyone else having issues while restoring backup from Google during initial setup?

I haven't been able to successfully restore any of my backups from Google. I'm only able to restore my apps & none of my call logs, texts or home screen layout.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] just a bird xo:
Also, I've noticed there seems to be less options available when long pressing on home screen. I used to be able to toggle options for recent apps & I was also able to change app icons by long pressing home screen but now I am no longer seeing that option.

Has that all been taken away completely or is there another way to access those options?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] elong7681:
I have the same issue.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] elong7681:
You have to swipe up from the bottom of the screen and hold in the middle to activate recent apps and that gesture is from original stock android. Not sure what you mean by changing app icons.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] just a bird xo:
I understand how to access recent apps. What I mean is there used to be options when long pressing on home screen to toggle more options in recent apps, like lens & kill app buttons. I no longer see those options, amongst others.

Also, what I mean about changing app icons is I have a 3rd party app for icons on the home screen which I was able to also access via long pressing home screen to access more options.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] elong7681:
The Pixel launcher is being used now versus Evo X launcher, it has something to do with Google changing code or whatever in the firmware.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] just a bird xo:
That's a bummer! Is that part of the reason why there's a few features missing?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] morpheus620:
I've been using this ROM for almost 1 week now and I'm not satisfied with the battery life. I lose 10 percent battery overnight even though the internet is off. Deepsleep works fine too. It's not because of that. I'll switch to something else after my vacation.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] elong7681:
Yes
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] qbanlinxx:
I switched back to stock because of this issue but experienced worse standby in stock unfortunately. Back on this rom for the time being
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] abdzfx:
Hey!

I hope you are well.

Fantastic job with the ROM. Everything is great but I do have a few mentions. I've got it installed both on my Pixel 7 and OnePlus 8 Pro. They're both on clean installs and running super smooth overall. When browsing on the main home screen, app drawer, recent apps and a few other system areas, there is a high level of jitter and lag. I've checked to see if it's the refresh rate but that's not the cause. Both are stock without kernel or root modifications. This last issue may just be with the pixel 7s design but it runs really hot compared to the OP8P. Oh and one more thing! When taking phone calls both phones experience the same symptom of "adaptive connectivity service" crashing prompt.

Looking forward to any updates. All in your own time :)

Kind regards,
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] abdzfx:
To quickly add. On the OP8P while having all the cameras unlocked is a nice feature, unfortunately, autofocus goes out the window. The main camera has great difficulty focusing. Not sure what the case is with that. Thank you again.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] mcflyrk01:
I cannot figure out how to NOT get a boot loop after an OTA update... it's happened twice now and I've had to wipe/reinstall both times. Is there something extra I'm supposed to be doing besides just installing the OTA from the updater?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] AnierinB:
You wouldn't happen to have a sim pin set up, would you? There's a bug in 7.7 that will cause SystemUI to crash, and ultimately send you to the format screen (rescue party) if sim pin is enabled (an issue with daily data usage qs feature). This has already been resolved and the fix will be included in the upcoming releases that are expected to be out in the next day or so.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] lunatix01:
using it for nearly 3 weeks, it's really cool and I'm loving it the only problem I have and I hope to be solved the device gets really hot, and it's because of the Pixel launcher :(
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] wgrant:
See there's an update. Is it based on April or still March? I'm still on a build from February, can I update via OTA since I'm several builds behind?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] AnierinB:
Everything is clearly mentioned in the OP.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] wgrant:
My apologies, I definitely missed the orange text.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] donpablo80:
With the latest update I have the same problem when i switch to my other user account. The system ui crashes and boot into recovery. Anybody can help?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Curiousn00b:
Are you rooted by any chance and doing Magisk to the other slot?

Few months back, I noticed bootloops after OTA's too. Easiest solution was to manually do the OTA yourself instead of the built-in one.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] just a bird xo:
Is it possible to sideload the April full ota image from Google or is it absolutely necessary to flash the April factory image prior to flashing April update for this rom?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] amandeepparmar:
Does this rom support now playing feature on locksceen and ticker?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Curiousn00b:
If you're already on the rom, the only thing you need to do is update since the firmware is included in the OTA package.

If you're not on the rom, then you have to be on April stock before installing.

Yes.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] woojtekn:
Well done !! rom installed. Finally featurs from the February issue are back :)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] wgrant:
Upgraded from February to April build with no issues and magisk retained. Appreciate the work.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] leopseft:
Yes my friend. I also received the same message but I was able to pay normally with NFC.

I managed to fix the issue with the following steps.

1. Open magisk, go to settings, configure denylist and then check everything in google play store and google wallet. (Previously I had only checked the first options on those two apps)

2. Install the new Universal Safetynet fix version 2.4.0

https://github.com/kdrag0n/safetynet-fix/releases/tag/v2.4.0

Warning message is gone.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Teet1:
I noticed this new version has added a strange blur effect to the lockscreen wallpaper. I can't seem to find the option to remove it, and changing it doesn't make the blur go away

Edit: also noticed that my phone says no service when connected to WiFi, shown in the screenshot below. It seems to work fine though, although radio info says no service

Spoiler content hidden.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] erispimp:
Great update 😃
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] just a bird xo:
I have the same issue with the network while connected to WiFi since April build.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] wgrant:
Anyone else experiencing the power button not turning the screen back on at times? Sometimes it works fine and others the screen won't wake up. Tapping the screen works fine and even pressing the button to lock/shut off the screen works every time.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] just a bird xo:
I have the same issue
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] :
Right, what did I do wrong? 😅 All Smart Lock features seem to be missing? Everything else about the ROM works perfectly.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] sabrdawg:
Latest build very smooth! 😊 The only thing I can't seem to figure out how to do again is make the accent color more "vivid," if that makes sense. I was able to on February's build, but can't remember for the life of me how I managed to do it! I tried tinkering with the percentages but they didn't seem to change it. Not a deal breaker, by any means, but I love my cyan accents! If there's something I'm blatantly missing, feel free to point it out :p Thanks in advance!

Edit: I was able to get it to work by playing around some more with the percentages!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Teet1:
It seems to be WiFi calling. I disabled it and I haven't gotten the no signal notification anymore. I also fixed the lock screen blurs issue by restarting SYSTEM UI even though a reboot didn't fix it

Below is what it looked like with this issue with wifi calling on. Without wifi calling it's normal. Regardless, with wifi calling on and my phone saying no signal, everything was functioning properly. Might be a visual bug
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] just a bird xo:
I'll give that a shot. But mine was definitely beyond just a visual problem. Yesterday it had gotten to the point where it said I had no SIM. A reboot didn't even correct the issue. I had to remove the SIM and reinsert it before I was able to obtain signal again. I wasn't able to send texts or anything.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] leopseft:
It worked for 3 days and then got broken again. For everyone facing problems with google wallet (Phone doesn't meet security requirements), install this magisk module: https://xdaforums.com/t/module-mod-universal-safetynet-fix.4553699/

over the "official" Universal SafetyNet Fix.

It worked.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Undam:
Have you been able to fix this? I'm having the same issue where the No Signal is NOT a visual problem. Resetting internet and removing and reinserting SIM only temporarily bring back mobile data.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] just a bird xo:
Another user mentioned above that they disabled WiFi calling to correct the issue. It worked for me as well.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] ski.ign:
Thank You for another great rom update!

Guys, I just installed rom, I unhided magisk and disabled modules but i forgot to install magisk on unactive slot and rebot. Now i can't install it on unactive slot and zygisk and modules disappeared. I'm far from PC, can I install update again via OTA from file for example and repeat process in right order? Don't see that option. Can i do something else without my pc for now? Thanks.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Curiousn00b:
I don't think so, but it's better to be near a PC messing with root like that anyways after an OTA.

Last time I used Evo and took an OTA while installing Magisk to the other slot, something went wrong and had a bootloop moment or something of that sort. The OTA is better to run without root, but otherwise, I recommend updating through sideloading and manually flashing the rooted installer or image.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] tlarm:
Disabling WiFi calling worked for me too. I have the same no signal issue on stock too that requires disabling to fix.

Just installed this ROM this morning. Works GREAT! My favorite. :)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Jwtiyar:
First time installing the rom, but my sim card not recognized or some times it recognize it but i can't call or send sms, i tried removing sim card and rebooting several times, Installed the ROM according to the instructions mentioned in the OP.

what iam doing wrong?

I have panther.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Yeedatoy:
Do you guys all have the same carrier? Did you install APRIL QPR STABLE? There's so many people that refer to the beta releases as QPR, but the fact is there are stable QPR releases as well. As AB stated this has to be on the stable April release before flash. Next, install Network Signal Guru from the playstore(root) and go into the settings and click clear all forcings. If that doesn't work, make sure your APN is correct and doesn't have an MVNO listed under GID if it's not supposed to. I have no issues with a signal, 4g or 5G, dual sims or Wi-Fi calling.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Jwtiyar:
i dont have wifi call option i have vo5g option, i disabled it also didn't work.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Jwtiyar:
After flashing the ROM three times problem with the simcard solved. And i don't what was the problem cauz i did flash in the same way as OP mentioned.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Zecanilis:
Thank you for the update! All going impeccable!

Cheers
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] cd993:
This is the first custom I've ever flashed on my Pixel 7 Pro due to being very content with stock rooted and ASOP Mods to fulfil my customisation needs.

I must say I am very impressed! Installation was smooth and I didn't even need to 'faff' around with patching Magisk due to the simplicity of adb sideloading Magisk (note: for some reason the apk renamed to having a .zip extension didn't work, I needed to simplify it's name to "magisk.zip" which flashed perfectly. I was able to flash Kiri kernel via FKM (either perhaps because May stock had the relevant disabled flags or maybe EvoX just allows custom kernels to be flashed out of the box?).

There is a wealth of features which is great to have and everything just works! With the Kiri kernel everything is super smooth and even on the first overnight settling it was pulling 0.5% p/h battery, which I presume may only but improve over time.

Highly recommended, a big thanks to all involved in this rom :)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] DracoPiece:
Does the base evolution x have root? If not will the banking apps work on the initial installation?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] juaki:
does the kernel work for you in aosp? I tried it on cdroid and it gave me bootloop
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Wmateria:
Never had that issue for the May build or any builds before that.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] cd993:
Yeah working great!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] cd993:
Base Evo X doesn't though once rooted (easily via adb sideload) all mine do. Only of them needed to be hidden via Denylist and also I hid the Magisk app too for good measure
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] DracoPiece:
quick question, I'm currently in the Philippines would the 5g can be configured on this ROM and enable NR?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Razun92:
Hello

May I ask if there is any way to make Pixel Stand 2 unique software features to work?

If I put my phone (Cheetah) on the Pixel Stand 2 it correctly charges, but won't show the Pixel Stand software as on stock rom.

I don't even know if it's possible to implement, cause that's probably a very difficult reverse engineering stuff, but I'm curious about it! Thx!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] drmorrowa2:
Didn't work for me on this ROM (may update) ended up in bootloop
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] liquidraven:
What is the process you used?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] DracoPiece:
Is there a way to lock the bootloader after flashing, or is required to always enable the bootloader?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] cd993:
Hmm I'm unsure about that I'm afraid. Only one way to find out!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] beterman:
do it when you wanna brick your phone!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] DracoPiece:
why? in grapheneOS you can still lock the bootloader
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] beterman:
lock the Bootloader and you will brick your phone....then stick with GrapheneOS if you want to lock the bootloader
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] liquidraven:
Have a P7 Pro Unlocked

Android 13

Build TQ2A.230505.002

Never rooted. This is what i need to do first and then follow steps below correct?

First Time Install

1. Download vendor_boot & rom for your device from here

2. Reboot to bootloader

3. fastboot flash vendor_boot vendor_boot.img

fastboot reboot recovery

4. While in recovery navigate to Factory reset -> Format data/factory reset and confim to format the device.

5. When done formatting, go back to the main menu and then navigate to Apply update -> Apply from ADB

6. adb sideload rom.zip (replace "rom" with actual filename)

7 (optional). Reboot to recovery to sideload any add-ons (e.g magisk)

8. Reboot to system & #KeepEvolving
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Shooter7889:
Already have bootloader unlocked, and latest pixel fw on both slots then ur ready. 👍
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] liquidraven:
ahh so root is just to get bootloader unlocked? ok looking at next steps then. Appreciate it!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Shooter7889:
Hello. well no, root is different. to do any ROM flashing, then after using root or not, the bootloader has to be unlocked first. once it's unlocked, u can flash EvoX. Then u can root or choose not to. I always root but there are plenty of ppl who flash custom ROMs that don't want to root.

If ur phone is unlocked, u just need to get your developer settings to appear, then to into them and find "allow oem unlocking" and click the switch. then, while in bootloader mode(fastboot) and plugged into pc(and recognized by pc) type "fastboot flash oem unlock." (If that doesnt work it is "fastboot flashing unlock.")Then on phone u will see options to unlock bl or not to. once u click to unlock bootloader it is going to wipe ur phone. But u won't have to worry about this step ever again unless u lock it back.

After ur phone boots up, it will take a little longer, u will have to get it to home screen and update ur phone again with pixel update.. That way I know u have it on both sides.. Then ur ready to flash EvoX. Let me know, u can dm me here for more help with any steps if needed
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] drmorrowa2:
I had updated evolution to latest update. Everything was working fine. Downloaded Kirisakura kernel May update, and the corresponding power hint module. Installed the module, reboot, used exkm to flash the kernel, got an error message. Restored the original backed up kernel. And after rebooting, it bootlooped.

Full disclosure, I haven't flashed a custom kernel on any rom in years, since pixel 2. So it was likely user error. Used to be so much more fun tinkering with my phone, but since the,n the flash dance has gotten so cumbersome.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] liquidraven:
Agree with you on the cumbersome process compared to the old days and as tech improves, it's also made to be more secure which causes more headaches to get around.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Axotn1k1:
Why does it freeze at different percentages every time when checking files?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] beterman:
don't write rom.zip like it says in point 6, but the name of the zip file you downloaded!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Axotn1k1:
I know! I changed the name of the archive to something like this rom.zip
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] liquidraven:
sent you a DM :)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Jwtiyar:
hey

i did ota update and forget to open magisk and install it inactive slot, is there any way to root except downloading full ROM again?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] xatou:
Is there volte support for unsupported countries in this rom? And how is the battery?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] cd993:
Could you use adb sideload to install that way?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Jwtiyar:
What sideload? I already have magisk but i can't make root because i can't find init_boot of OTA update to patch it by magisk.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] halfbytecode:
Just flash Magisk through the recovery, similar to how you would have flashed the ROM.

adb sideload Magisk.apk
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Jwtiyar:
I already have magisk, why i have to flash it again? I didnt flash ROM i did OTA Update.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] halfbytecode:
Since you have already applied the OTA update, you can now sideload the Magisk apk from the recovery. If you have not yet rebooted after applying the OTA update and you are rooted, then you can install Magisk to inactive slot from within Magisk app itself.

There is no need to flash init_boot manually, since you are on a custom ROM (with OTA update support).
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] kenzolo:
I'm on May firmware, I need to dowgrade to April before install rom?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] beterman:
why? the latest Rom Version is from May...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] wgrant:
OP says to be sure you're on April firmware.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] beterman:
he not edit it....
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] AnierinB:
There are no differences between April/May firmware.
