Which EvoX do you want to flash? A13 or A14? A13 is no longer supported, only A14 is being further developed. It's best to wait until the March update is out because it needs to be flashed clean anyway.

I can tell you right away, you need stock Android 13 F50 as a base, bootloader open and brommode fixed.

Otherwise, EvoX A14 March Update does not work, because you need the OSS-Vendor.

But it will still take a while for Lahaina to finish the update as we are still waiting for the EvoX source.

There is a recovery from Evo and the ROM has OTA built in for later updates.

where can i find the recovery to flash in fastboot

[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] jis251:
HI. New update has arrived with March patches (20240320). Reading above it seems that I need to be on Stock? Is that so? I have DerpFest (A13 latest). Can I flash this new EvoX (clean install) while on DF? Or do I really need to go back to stock (F50)?

Thank you
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Klangerzeuger:
March is not merged yet, it is still February. March update and QPR2 are still pending, but it is in progress. You can flash the 20240320 update to Stock A11 or A13, whichever you want. The last update includes the A13 vendor, so you can flash it to Stock A11. In the past, Stock A13 was needed because of the vendor, but now it is no longer necessary.

Clean flash recommended because of the new Kernel in EvoX and some other new stuff.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] jis251:
HI and thanks for reply

So basically I need to be on stock. Using custom rom, no way to flash EvoX. Is that so?

I can use MTK to go to A11 but it's kinda strange if stock rom is needed. Never before that was needed. Custom rom to other custom rom was always a choice, without any problems.

Thank you
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Klangerzeuger:
From A13 to A11 you need the official downgrade zip from the OnePlus Forum... MTK doesnt work. Then you can open your Bootloader.

If you are on A13 with open Bootloader, you can use the Brommode Fix from Githup and then you can flash the rom.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] jis251:
HI. Thanks. You always reply. Very polite.

My question has been from start;

I have to be on stock rom when flashing EvoX?

Or can I flash EvoX if I am on custom rom?

MTK works for me. My bootloader is unlocked. I am not on stock rom. I am using DerpFest and rooted with magisk.

Only reason is why I am thinking EvoX is that DerpFest is not updated anymore (I think so)

Thanks
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] roldev:
Thanks for your support.

Very helpful. I'm on telegram group too, but cannot follow the conversation there. :)

Can someone help me with this:

My device was returned from repair locked and upgraded to OOS A13, currently on A.51 (march security patch).

The way to install EvoX is:

1. From current oficial oos 13 fix brom - don't sure where to find instructions. Lost GH links.

2. How to unlock now without fastboot? Having mtk tool.

3. How to flash latest EvoX?

Hope this helps other users, too.

Thanks.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Klangerzeuger:
Unlocking Bootloader only works with A11, you have to downgrade with the official downgrade zip from the OnePlus Forum, you found the link in this thread.

If you want install EvoX on A13, then after downgrading and opening Bootloader, Update with OTA till A13 and then flash the Brommode Fix.

After this make with MTK-Client your own Stock A13 Backup, so you can after Custom Rom easy back to Stock

Brommode Fix: https://gist.github.com/Giovix92/c7e69123dbc51adf3f3a26f9c3c0208e#restore-brom

After this flash EvoX Recovery and EvoX.

If you want install EvoX on A11, skip OTA, and flash Recocery and EvoX. On A11 Brommode works without fix.

But I recommended Stock A13 and EvoX.

Thats all.

bugs :

I can't use my internet after installing this version (evolution_denniz-ota-ap1a.240405.002-04221803-OFFICIAL) , even I connected hotspot with my other phone, still i can't use internet, all other features are working like butter...

this is the only bug I found, and after I sideloaded older version of EvoX rom.

I'm new to custom rom culture, sorry for anything, if i replied wrongly

Pls kindly resolve this problem for me, waiting for a reply...
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Klangerzeuger:
You need Stock A13 F55 with Bootloader open and Brommode fix.

Then flash EvoX-Recovery and sideload the ROM.

Thats all! 😉🤷

Oxygen OS or Evolution X

A13- Android 13

F55- ?

as i said im new to custom rom cultures, that why im asking these
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Klangerzeuger:
The Nord 2 is a bit more complicated when it comes to custom ROMS. You're probably using stock Android 11 and then flashed EvoX? Right?

The new Evo only runs on Android 13 because of the vendor.

1. Flash stock Android 11, open the bootloader and then update to Android 13 F50 or F55 via OTA.

2. Then flash Brommode Fix and then flash EvoX Recovery and EvoX.

No actually first time what i did was:

1. I downgraded to Android 11 and I unlocked bootloader

2.while flash evox rom, my phone gone to bootloop

3.and after few days, I gone to Android 13 with bootloader unlocked and fixed brom mode using MTK Client gui kit

4.I installed evo X rom Android 14 build num: AP1A.240405.002.A1 and It worked fine.

5.but when I side loaded (evolution_denniz-ota-ap1a.240405.002-04221803-OFFICIAL) this version, all features working good but no internet connection either mobile data, wifi

Since installing the latest update, my phone crashes randomly and can't be turned on again with the power button. To get it started again I need to push all three buttons and then press power and volume up. Any one else have this problem?
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] dm0:
This bug has been plaguing me as well. On evolution X sourceforge for denniz, there exists a 20240512 update, which has been relatively quite stable.

uh could you tell me if the vibrations are stock like and not mushy, thats the only thing stopping me from flashing this for now thanks
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Nadwey:
I have this rom, and the vibrations aren't like in the stock rom...
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] lahaina:
Sorry for replying not understandable .

I ran the vibration several times and did not get a "clicky" impression. Thank you
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] lahaina:
This may be unavoidable due to the nature of custom ROMs.

Sorry i don't know about fiddling with vibrations.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Nadwey:
Well, I think it may be possible because running `echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/vibrator/motor_old` (as root) causes the haptic motor to trigger.

* NOTE: This update needs clean flash, so please backup data before flashing.

There are still a few bugs, but it's not a serious thing so I released it for the time being.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] wuttehhell:
Why no dirty flash?
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] lahaina:
Because a Parallel space features.

Implementing new system-side features (such as parallel spaces) may require additional permissions. If those permissions are not granted successfully, it can cause a system crash. (At least that was the case in my environment)
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] jis251:
HI to all.

I am fed up with stock so I was planning to change to custom ROM.

I have few questions:

* What is SE Linux status - Enforced or Permissive?

* Is it possible to mount System and Vendor partitions to RW?

* Is hotspot working as it should?

* Has anyone been able to get Viper4Android working on this ROM (OnePlus Nord 2)

* Has anyone been able to backup and restore whole ROM, using TWRP or some other version of TWRP? (If dirty flash or clean flash is not working and need to restore to pervious build)?

* Is everyone pleased with this ROM and you don't have any big issues. And you are using this as daily driver?

Over all this ROM looks usable as daily driver but it would be nice to know those mentioned above before downgrading and flashing this ROM.

Thank you for answering
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] wuttehhell:
Is it possible to change fonts without root? If yes please help.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] wuttehhell:
I dont really know all that tehnical facts, but i can tell that hotspot works ok. This rom comes with viper reinstalled and works, i tried it, i dont use it. I use this as a daily driver and can assure ya that from all the roms this is the best. I tried em all, this one has constant updates and the fastest ones. For now i didnt find any bugs and everything works smooth.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] ghost9685:
Why internet doesn't work while on call? Is there any settings that I don't know?
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Releece:
Quick question: After flashing the ROM in TWRP and wiping dalvik/cache, do I need to flash TWRP.zip again to keep it as recovery, or does the ROM not overwrite recovery after reboot? In any case, I guess flashing TWRP before reboot can't hurt, right?

And is the brightness bug now only when using auto-brightness? (I never use it anyway)

Or will the bug also occur if you manually set brightness on or above 70%? (If that's the case, maybe it's smart to just limit the setting to not be able to go above critical level? (untill a fix is found)).

Sounds a bit tricky if you're sitting in the sun and can't see anything, I always put it to max. with a quick swipe.

Is this SafetyNet fix just for Evolution in the unrooted state or does it persist when rooting with Magisk?

Anyone root their phone running Evolution and passed SafetyNet? Did you have to mod anything specifically apart from configuring Magisk's denylist?

I'm going to flash this ROM tonight and then root. Will report back when done.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] lahaina:
LTE communication during a call is only available when VoLTE is enabled.

First, please check your SIM supports VoLTE.

Then check it appears VoLTE icon also.

If not, you need reboot your phone. Then will be VoLTE enabled.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] lahaina:
ROM flashing doesn't rewrite recovery so you can use TWRP again.

Brightness bug is not fixing yet. They occurs in enabled automatic brightness only, so turn off then can use it properly.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] lahaina:
SafetyNet only works unrooted state. any ROM (Evolution X too) won't pass SN in rooted devices. To root, you need to use Universal Safetynet Fix modules.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] jis251:
Hi to all

I will try this ROM, looks promising, thanks for dev(s)

I know the procedure to downgrade, unlock bootloader and flashing TWRP.

One thing is not clear to me, so if someone could explain this - when update comes and I want to update (dirty flash), I need to boot to recovery. So does this ROM has recovery of its own or do I need to use TWRP? And if I need use TWRP, I need to root in order to TWRP to stick (TWRP will normally vanish if not rooted while on TWRP). Can someone tell how to do dirty flash without root? Do I need to flash TWRP every time to do update? Or is it better to root so TWRP is there all ready and no need to flash TWRP?

I hope you understand what I ask, English is not my native language :)

Thank you
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] wuttehhell:
Twrp doesnt vanish, after you install twrp and restart your phone for the first Time, keep presing vol down+Power buton for twrp to remain your recovery

Here first report after one day of using it at home:

Flash process went easily (I had to downgrade first using Oneplus package the phone from A12 to A11)

Works out of the box without any crash or app crash without reasons

Everything so far looks to work out of box

Have not found yet how to get screen off when in standby (right now it always display clock and few infos so screen never goes off really....)

have to found out how to get rid of that weirdo green dot that grows from time to time at top right of screen (looks to be indication of when localisation/gps is used...)

Would be nice that when you uunlock device with a code that it automatically unlocks once you typed the code without need to validate ;)

GSM icons to indicate if you get signal and how much are unreadable so far (might have to have a look in settings/customisation)

Excellent job as ROM looks very stable and working well (y)
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] vincebay:
@lahaina Please remove the Telegram channel indicated in first post as no support avalaible there as it's not an official build of Evolution X if I understand properly !!

Where to get support for that ROM ? as I'd really like to get rid of that problem in standby that kills battery for nothing :(
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] lahaina:
Sorry I added was due to many requests. Now removed.

I created that group because there has never been a place to support users.

ofc I am not an official maintainer, so I can only make unofficial ones.

AOD is working, but battery drain too much. So you can disable it.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] vincebay:
AOD ? What is it ?
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] matthias1976:
Always On Display
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Releece:
Always-On Display, it's just a function in the Android OS, it was there also in OOS11/12, but was disabled by default.

Just go to settings, search for "always" and disable "always show time and info". I think that should do it, if not check the other settings like "always on display schedule".

There even is a toggle in quick settings for AOD.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Releece:
Screen off in standby: Disable "Always show time and info" in Lock Screen menu

Green Dot: Go to Settings >> the Evolver >> Status Bar: disable the three privacy indicator toggles at the bottom of menu

Choose which Status Bar Icons: Go to Settings >> the Evolver >> Status Bar >> Status Bar Icons: enable Mobile Data toggle for GSM icon

Code auto-validation would only work if there is only one possible length for the pin, but I think it's allowed to use 4 characters or more. Also it would be much less secure, because then someone can try all combinations without it counting as an unlock attempt.

What do you mean with how much are unreadable so far? If you mean how many app notification icons don't fit on the status bar, you can toggle "Notification Count" in Status Bar to get the total amount of apps.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] ermel1881:
unable to add my wear OS watch with this ROM can anyone else confirm this
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Releece:
So this is not a problem with this EvolutionX build, rather it's an Android 12/13 encryption with TWRP one as I just came to understand, but I just wanted to confirm that every user of this ROM should then have the same issue as me:

When I boot into TWRP (twrp-3.7.0_11-0-denniz) I cannot decrypt the /data/media/ folder, so I cannot mount it nor acces it using TWRP file explorer. This is without any pin / password set in Evolution, as well as with a pin, or a password (tried all three).

I made a post about it in this thread:

https://xdaforums.com/t/recovery-3-...-a13-encryption-support.4523857/post-88251647

There I realized TWRP builds are specific to Android versions, and that A12/13 uses different encryption that doesn't work with TWRP builds for A11.

So is this the case and can everyone running Evolution or any other A12/13 ROM also not decrypt their /media/data/ partition?

Does anyone happen to have come across a TWRP build for denniz for A12/13? In the thread linked above they gave me instructions for making such a build, but that is a bit above my level :/ If anyone wants to try and get it done together I'm in ofcourse, but I'm not a dev and it has been many years since working with git and make.

I guess it's not that much of a problem as there are workarounds for most things I see myself needing to do.

The only thing I don't know how to get around is making a NANDROID backup with TWRP. It normally saves to /data/media/TWRP, but as this is not accessible, is there any way to change the location where TWRP saves backups?

Tl;dr:

Everyone here have TWRP decryption problems of the /data/media partition?

Anyone know about a TWRP build for denniz for A12/13? Or wants to try and build it together using instructions in the linked thread?

(How to make NANDROID backup in TWRP to another location than the default /data/media/TWRP, which is not decryptable?)

P.S: I love EvolutionX! Many thanks for making this possible @lahaina !

I remember the depressing times when we thought we wouldn't get any great ROMs for denniz, because of the mediatek chip and OP not releasing the firmware, but here we are <3
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] lahaina:
Hello. I have a same issue.

I get an error that the /data partition cannot be mounted, but I didn't think it was a particular problem since it doesn't interfere with the ROM installation.

I am not familiar with TWRP, but what problems could be caused by the inability to mount /data/media/TWRP?
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] drystxx:
bro I live in Japan too. my nord 2 is on OOS 11 A.20 rooted magisk. I unlocked volte via adb su command, volte is unlocked and working for my SIM1 on docomo but volte still not working for my SIM2 on Rakuten Mobile

is volte working for Rakuten Mobile in your rom? if yes, I would be happy to ditch OOS 11 asap
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] lahaina:
Rakuten mobile doesn't work normally on mtk oplus devices. (E.g. realme and oppo not working as well.) This includes any custom ROM either.

You can set mobile network to "LTE only", it should be start connecting.

To use volte, swapping Rakuten SIM to SIM1, then enter mtk engineer mode, and follow this instructions:

Open "Network Selecting".

Open "SIM1".

Switch "set preferred network type" to "LTE Only".

Return to "MTK Settings" and open "ims".

Open "sim1 : Primary Card".

Select "CMW500 setting" in "VOLTE Setting" and tap "SET".

Go back to the previous setting and open "Misc Feature Config".

Open "hVolte".

Tap "hVolte".

Then it will be can use calls too.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] drystxx:
Thank you so much for this guide.

How do I enter mtk engineering mode?
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] lahaina:
I flashed custom ROM before I tried it on this model, so I don't know the details on how to do it, but when I used realme before, I was able to get entering by hacking it using this software.

It has now been removed and I have left a mirror on Google Drive.

Oppo_Free_Unlock_v1.0 (1).zip

drive.google.com
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] drystxx:
Thank you. I was able to gain mtk engineering mode through accessing hidden menu since I am magisk rooted.

I have tried activating volte using your method but unfortunately, Rakuten Volte is still not working. no volte icon. data works fine but I can't make calls at all.

I have also downgraded to different firmware versions. eg. A.07, A.15, A.20 & A.20 Pacman rom, all have the same result, other networks can activate Volte such as my Docomo sim, but Rakuten Mobile just doesn't work :(

Thank you anyway for the tech support even though your main thing is to further developer this awesome rom!
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] lahaina:
Well that's a shame.

However, if you are a root user, there may be some other way.
