You are ranting about the a/b partition which it can be "annoying", but you may just ignore it unless you are doing something wrong. JFYI The reason for a/b partition is to avoid that, if you flashing on the partition fail, you have the other partition to reboot. If you have problem you can try to change the boot partition with adb with "fastboot set_active a" or "fastboot set_active b" and see if reboot.

I would suggest that you report exactly what you did, because most likely there is an error in the procedure.

Also I don't think it's rom related, not Evolution problem, as others are not reporting the same issue.
[Google Pixel 6] Pururut:
I have a few questions regarding this ROM. Due to attempting to get back to the Pixel lineup.

If a SIM-Locked Pixel 6 can unlock and flash this ROM, will I need to flash the Temp-SIM unlock tool or it will stay SIM unlock?

Also, I remember the unlimited GPhoto store has been disabled, does the pixelify need to sideload after root, or can be flashed without root?
[Google Pixel 6] sronweb:
Latest A14 version just released for raven and OTA update was perfectly fine. Thanks
[Google Pixel 6] Shuhan44:
..Is it only me, or the latest rom download link for pixel 6a bluejay (on the first page) is broken? [last checked on 15/01/2024]

[Google Pixel 6] Software Guru:
Fresh install done on a brand new device, fingerprint not working & the ROM seems to hang all the time, not what I expected coming from the Mi 11 variant but will leave it 24 hours to see if it beds in & I get the performance I expected
[Google Pixel 6] sam.balia1012:
most likely u didnt follow the steps on OP
[Google Pixel 6] Esin8785:
did you factory wipe format data in recovery?
[Google Pixel 6] Software Guru:
Been flashing Custom Roms for years so I know how to follow instructions, like I said I had no issue with the Mi 11 version it's just this Pixel one that's giving me issues
[Google Pixel 6] Software Guru:
Yes followed the instructions to the letter
[Google Pixel 6] Lada333:
Did you flash latest factory version before installing EvoX? The issues you're describing typically point to that.
[Google Pixel 6] Software Guru:
The phone did update to A14 before I had a chance to unlock the bootloader etc, hmm never thought that might be it, appreciate the advice my friend
[Google Pixel 6] Software Guru:
Evening, think my phone is faulty but I need to test the fingerprint sensor before I return it back to Google, what are the steps to revert back to stock, Thanks
[Google Pixel 6] d2xtaimen02:
Go to https://flash.android.com/ and reflash your phone.
[Google Pixel 6] Software Guru:
So flashed back to stock and the fingerprint issue is still there (knew it could not be this ROM that was causing that), going to contact Google to see if they can replace this again, this was sent as new boxed as they could not source the parts to fix my old one and looks like they have sent me a dud :(
[Google Pixel 6] Lada333:
What settings did you use exactly on flash.android.com?
[Google Pixel 6] Software Guru:
I went back to the latest Public Build which was based on A14, weird thing is it works sometimes, so out of 5 attempts it will work twice, I even recorded the same fingerprint twice but this did not help

I need it to work 100% of the time like it does on my S21 otherwise I can't use the phone
[Google Pixel 6] Lada333:
Okay, hold on, what do you mean by "out of 5 attempts it will work twice"?

Does the actual fingerprint reader not turn on/not process your fingerprint, or does it always try to read it, it just says 'unrecognized fingerprint' 3 times out of 5?
[Google Pixel 6] Software Guru:
It tries to read it and 70% of the time I'm getting the unrecognised fingerprint message, I've had a Pixel 6 Pro before and it used to work 100% of the time
[Google Pixel 6] Lada333:
I don't see how the under display fingerprint reader could just go wrong to the point where it's only sometimes not recognizing your finger. It took me actual months to get used to the exact placement and correct pressure to apply for it to read my fingerprint consistently. Are you using any screen protector?
[Google Pixel 6] Software Guru:
Yes I always use a screen protector but never had issues until now, my Pixel 7 Pro used to work fine & Google Support forum is full of others having the same problem, anyway I've got yet another replacement coming so will let you know how I get on
[Google Pixel 6] brn51505:
I have some questions before I attempt to install this custom rom on my pixel 6:

1. Can I use Backup by Google One to restore my current app data and files after I install Evolution X rom? Is there a better backup/restore method?

2. Will this custom rom ever lose customization features when QPR updates drop (like upcoming QPR2)?

- I currently use Iconify on my rooted pixel 6. With December QPR1 qs tile customization will cause a soft bootloop. I believe QPR2 is making overlays harder to customize, so could this happen with this custom rom?

3. I have a USB Type C to USB Type C. Is this cable acceptable to use when installing this custom rom? It works fine already (Using latest platform tools) just wanted to double check.

Sorry for the long post. I never flashed a custom rom before. Just wanted to make sure I understand a couple of things before I proceed.
[Google Pixel 6] Lada333:
1. Google Backup never has and probably never will restore app data and user files. What it does restore is text messages (allegedly, it has not once worked for me), and it will give you a list of all the apps you had installed from the Play Store, so you can choose to download all or some of them again. Also, be prepared to lose all your saved WiFi networks if you're coming from a different ROM.

There are some rooted backup/restore solutions, but afaik they have to be baked into the ROM, and they usually don't like it when you try to migrate between ROMs.

2. I'm unsure, but I doubt that QPRs would mess with the built-in customization settings. If it does, however, I'm sure that the developers will find a way around it before releasing an update, or, at the very least, warn us about potential issues (always be sure to read the changelog before flashing an update).

3. As long as it's a good quality data cable, it should be fine.
[Google Pixel 6] brn51505:
Thanks for the reply.

So will a majority of the Google apps data restore if I flash this rom?

For example:

- Google photos

- Google Keep Notes

- Gmail

- Contacts

- Files

Etc.

That is my only concern from switching from rooted stock rom to evolution X custom rom.

Anytime I have had a bootloop or corrupt data: I have always restored with Google Backup it installed all of my apps and data (especially important is Google Keep Notes and Photos).
[Google Pixel 6] Lada333:
Google Photos: do you have backup turned on? If so, then obviously yes, since all your photos are backed up to your cloud storage. You can visit photos.google.com to see what you have backed up. I think, by default it only prompts you to back up the photos you take, so screenshots, etc. are not backed up.

Google Keep Notes: I'm pretty sure everything's stored on the cloud in Keep Notes

Gmail: obviously everything's stored in the cloud

Contacts: depends. If you save/create new contacts to your SIM card, then no. If you chose to have them linked to your Google account, then yes.

Files: Not. A. Single. One

Always always always back up all your data to your computer before wiping your phone. Just connect your phone to your PC via a USB cable, and save every folder that you want to keep. Generally DCIM, Documents, Downloads, etc. should be necessary, but you can open up all of them and see what data they store.
[Google Pixel 6] brn51505:
That's great news and thank you for the information about backing up straight to the computer.

If I end up flashing Evoultion X and decide to return to stock. Do I just flash the factory stock image? I have always done this using the flash-all method, so would this method work?
[Google Pixel 6] Lada333:
I would use the Android Flash Tool to return to stock.
[Google Pixel 6] Muhs5in:
Iwas wondering if kernelsu woks wuth this rom?
[Google Pixel 6] MakeMeCool:
There is any way to change the home screen and menu app grid just like stock or the lineage?
[Google Pixel 6] Lada333:
>just like stock or the lineage

Since EvoX uses Pixel Launcher, you can change the grid size the same way as on stock.
[Google Pixel 6] MakeMeCool:
There is no option for the app grid, also search for app grid but unable to find anywhere in the settings.
[Google Pixel 6] Lada333:
Odd, how when I long press on a page, tap Wallpaper & Style, scroll to the bottom, I see the option you're looking for 🤔
[Google Pixel 6] MakeMeCool:
Can you give me the SS plz if possible 😅?
[Google Pixel 6] Lada333:
I don't know why you'd need a screenshot, I literally told you the steps it takes to change the grid size, but sure.
[Google Pixel 6] Muhs5in:
Yeah, just hold down on home screen and click wallpaper and styles, choose home screen from the top and scroll down where you'll find App grid.
[Google Pixel 6] lame.exe:
I asked that too, got no answer. Evolution X releases for other phones clearly state they suppoet KernelSU. I tried to patch the boot.img myself as described on KernelSU page but had no luck in several tries. I'm on december evo x release with Kernel Version 5.10.177. As stated here https://github.com/tiann/KernelSU/issues/1195 patching with 5.10.189 should work but my P6 doesnt boot...
[Google Pixel 6] AnierinB:
The inclusion of KernelSU is a decision we leave up to our device maintainers. I personally will not be shipping it nor go out of my way to diagnose issues with it.

I also hope you're not using the boot.img on sourceforge to patch via magisk/ksu as those images are reserved for the initial installation and are not updated frequently at all. Hence why In op #3 it specifically mentions to extract it using payload dumper against the latest build.
[Google Pixel 6] lame.exe:
Thanks for your reply and all the hard work! I tried both and I still have no success booting with fastboot boot without flashing. Now I know you do not support KernelSU, so this is just for general information:

Output PayloadDumper:

Output Magiskboot with boot.img from PayloadDumper:
[Google Pixel 6] losoka:
Noob here. The Link for the ROM - https://sourceforge.net/projects/ev...uq1a.240105.004-01082300-OFFICIAL.zi/download appears to be broken, file not found. Any alternate links?
[Google Pixel 6] Lada333:
That (indeed broken) link redirects to EvoX's SourceForge library. Just search for the folder called "bluejay" (provided that's your device), and download the necessary files from there.
[Google Pixel 6] blackphoenix50:
Hello,

Do you know if this rom supports spatial audio for pixel 6a?im looking for a rom that has most of the features of pixel 6 without the limitations of the A-series unless its hardware related

[Google Pixel 6] gffpan:
Hi, "infinite photos backup" is not working on my Pixel 6 pro with evolutionx 8.2, is it supposed to be?
[Google Pixel 6] Lada333:
No it's not. You can use Pixelify GPhotos to unlock unlimited backup.
[Google Pixel 6] sam.balia1012:
(y)
[Google Pixel 6] Shuhan44:
No. "Unlimited photo support" will no longer work via the Evolution rom, as google has patched the spoofing trick for this rom. You need to root your phone and use magisk module. You can search YouTube for the process.

..Or you can use the Matrixx Rom, almost similar to this rom comparing the customization features, but unlimited photo storage works perfectly on that rom.
[Google Pixel 6] bulsatar:
was able to sort out the navigation problem. I am not a fan of pixel launcher and switched to Nova launcher immediately. here is what solved it for me

switch to Pixel launcher

cleared pixel launcher cache and storage

go to buttons and switch to gesture navigation

go through the gesture nav training (little icon)

switch back to 3 button

navigation states working correctly

switched back to Nova launcher
[Google Pixel 6] GalaxyWhy:
Now I'm not sure if it's a module I've installed or a big with the rom... But when I try to full screen video, via a browser or app - like YouTube the screen will go black and then un-fullscreen itself. Is anyone else having this issue?
[Google Pixel 6] AnierinB:
I recommend disabling all mods before reporting anything here as pointed out in OP #3
[Google Pixel 6] Sudharsan2786:
HI All,

Finally after a lot of reluctance, i decided to flash Evolution X on my Pixel 6. I did do step by step as mentioned and yay . I like it

Here are few things i am facing issue

1. My pixel 6 name changed to Hisense F30 - This is in my google accounts

2. Old apps that i purchased in play store is not getting recognized

am i missing something ?
[Google Pixel 6] AnierinB:
1. Normal, we spoof to bypass Play integrity.

2. I've heard of this happening in the past but generally resolves itself soon after. Maybe try removing and re-adding your Google account, clearing play store data for your device, etc.
[Google Pixel 6] BenAmirul:
If you have installed Repainter, uninstall the app. It causes this issue.
[Google Pixel 6] GalaxyWhy:
I literally just went through every app and figured out it was Repainter! HOW ANNOYING.

Thanks for the reply though. Ill use the inbuilt Themer 🔥
[Google Pixel 6] sam00561:
Hi I am using face unlock option but I don't want to use it in apps to unlock.

Also double tap to wake and lift to wake suddenly stops working many times and requires a restart.
[Google Pixel 6] sam00561:

"Have you got discord link please."

I will not re-post the link again as it is already in OP #1. Click the official chat button if you wish to join the discord.

If you have questions pertaining to the ROM, I would recommend posting them here on XDA first and use discord as a last resort.
[Google Pixel 6] sam00561:
ok no problem so what is the discord for if not rom related discussion.
[Google Pixel 6] sam00561:
both of the links are coming back as invalid
[Google Pixel 6] AnierinB:
It is ROM related, however I prefer if the discussion remained here on XDA as it is not just a gateway to telegram/discord. You can use what you like, I'm just putting it out there.

The camera is a bit laggy when switching front and rear cams
[Google Pixel 6] imna357:
I used specifically the Elemetal X Kernel manager, because when it is not compatible it will not flash the boot, I did it on first install, not sure what I did, but it worked on my end
[Google Pixel 6] Anhlatuananh:
not only front and back cameras, delay happens when i change between modes
[Google Pixel 6] Anhlatuananh:
here the log file
[Google Pixel 6] Anhlatuananh:
I did a factory reset and realized the camera will fail if you hide the navigation bar in setting
[Google Pixel 6] mfinlay04:
Not having that issue at all P6P. Didn't spend a lot of time on stock kernel, not sure if that's related. I know Kiri had some camera optimization.
[Google Pixel 6] mfinlay04:
I am having some weird UDFP light issues. After unlock, the backlight stays on occasionally for a few seconds. I'll try to grab a log next time
[Google Pixel 6] Anhlatuananh:
That issue happen when set navigation bar length to hide , i try kiri kernel but get boot loop
[Google Pixel 6] mfinlay04:
Yeah, when button less navigation came out, I tried to hide the pill and ran into all shorts of trouble. I've just learned to live with it and never messed with that setting. That's an odd relationship, but maybe it's freaking the camera app out because of a change in screen size?
[Google Pixel 6] w_tapper:
i think that sometimes happens to me on ricedroid 10 with kirisakura kernel (pixel 6 pro)

[Google Pixel 6] elimani:
Just did it myself and worked easily
[Google Pixel 6] w_tapper:
can I adb sideload magisk?
[Google Pixel 6] elimani:
Idk i always just patch the boot.img and flash that
[Google Pixel 6] w_tapper:
OH NO I CANT GET INTO THE OS PLEASE HELP
[Google Pixel 6] elimani:
What did you do?
[Google Pixel 6] w_tapper:
i fixed it already but i sideloaded magisk and then tried to install kiri via exkm, which put the phone in a bootloop, i got it out and re-flashed stock and am now flashing evo x
[Google Pixel 6] elimani:
Glad you could fix it

And yeah I'd always go the boot.img way never had issues with that

For this rom you just need to extract it from the payload.bin first and then proceed as always
[Google Pixel 6] w_tapper:
how do you extract from payload.bin?
[Google Pixel 6] Melomi:
wheres the rom for oriole
[Google Pixel 6] Melomi:

This is new for me, so Evo team has changed their policy and now allows to flash custom kernels. But it wasn't so just few months ago. I'm glad about the good news.
