file host was crapping itself today (not advocating for linking mirrors) which played a role in my temporary return to stock
[Google Pixel 6] clvz:
Hello. Do I need to unlock the bootloader to install Evolution X? Should I do a factory unlock or can I put it on full stock? Thank you.
[Google Pixel 6] lanigirl:
hey guys, help me, when i sideload via adb it only shows 0 percent in its progress
[Google Pixel 6] Dopamin3:
Reporting in good news on bluejay!

1) I took the OTA from 7.5 to 7.6.1 (previously unrooted) - no issues at all.

2) I adb sideloaded magisk.zip (delta 6 by huskydg), did the normal zygisk / magiskhide and had to use this module safetynet-fix-v2.3.1-MOD_3.0.zip

3) SafetyNet passes / Google Wallet works / etc...

4) The stock provided kernel provides the kernel mode backend for Wireguard VPN (you need to be rooted I believe) but that's a nice feature for battery life if you are frequently connected
[Google Pixel 6] MartinN6:
yes - pease follow very carefully the steps a) for unlocking bootloader and b) install Evolution X
[Google Pixel 6] MartinN6:
It was the same with my laptop who has only usb 3.1 ports. I had to switch a usb 2.0 hub between laptop and device and than the sideload works pretty good. I´m not kidding!
[Google Pixel 6] kpirnie:
Ugg....

Raven

Coming from stock February on both slots

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flash vendor_boot vendor_boot.img (the latest one)

fastboot reboot recovery

sdk tools are latest, usb driver is latest, and I'm using one of the 4 cables I normally use when flashing (in fact it's the same one that got me to stock February...)

Ends in a Google logo bootloop
[Google Pixel 6] kpirnie:
That was... interesting.. to say the least.

I was able to get out of the bootloop, and then did an adb reboot recovery, which then brought me to Evo recovery...
[Google Pixel 6] cledreborn:
Is this rom using a default google camera and photo ga6?i would try to install this rom
[Google Pixel 6] Anhlatuananh:
No but u can download gcam from play store
[Google Pixel 6] cledreborn:
Thanks man
[Google Pixel 6] lallolu:
How does one know which Google play system update the phone is on? And how to update?
[Google Pixel 6] Bonez1802:
Any solutions?
[Google Pixel 6] lallolu:
There is an issue I have noticed when calling with Bluetooth on Pixel 6a. When I call someone, I don't hear anything and the other person just get a screeching sound at their end. I have noticed it it with car Bluetooth, Bluetooth headsets and Bluetooth headphones.
[Google Pixel 6] misanekxx:
The solution is simple. Download the apk from anywhere other than Google play. For example, from apkmirror
[Google Pixel 6] Anhlatuananh:
Nah , tried with pixel launcher
[Google Pixel 6] abalam:
@AnierinB do you own the device yourself or are they blind builds?
[Google Pixel 6] Alejandro77777:

[Google Pixel 6] kpirnie:
I can confirm, tho haven't tried with car yet. Headset ends up with the end person saying it sounded like water...
[Google Pixel 6] cledreborn:
How's the camera compared to stock pixel camera?
[Google Pixel 6] alexdownar:
Pixel 6. help me figure out how to solve the problem. I installed the latest February version of your firmware on the January official one. Everything works, but there is no menu for turning on Volte and Vowifi, and there is no option to record calls.
[Google Pixel 6] mfinlay04:
Same experience here. Calls work fine on speaker or earpiece, but no sound or voice over Bluetooth
[Google Pixel 6] AnierinB:
Yep it's being looked into.
[Google Pixel 6] kpirnie:
Groovy mate. I looked thru a logcat amd couldn't see anything related... you know of another log I could pull from that may help ya's debug?
[Google Pixel 6] kpirnie:
Rom comes with 2 cams... one is the stock gcam, not sure what the other one is, I just end up disabling it. Works as good as stock...
[Google Pixel 6] cledreborn:
Was the photo gallery (stock) app also included?
[Google Pixel 6] kpirnie:
Yes
[Google Pixel 6] Dopamin3:
Does the 2-13 build for bluejay fix the Bluetooth issues?
[Google Pixel 6] Anhlatuananh:
have you fixed the bug where hiding the navigation bar makes gcam lag
[Google Pixel 6] zosina:
Other camera is Aperture. Developed for LineageOS
[Google Pixel 6] lallolu:
I have installed 13th February build of EvoX 7.6.1 and I can confirm that the issue with calls on bluetooth is fixed. Thanks for being quick in fixing the issue.
[Google Pixel 6] mfinlay04:
I second this, no issues on my end with bluetooth calls on the 2/13 build.
[Google Pixel 6] ogkillergreen:
2/13 build seems to have resolved VT issues

Safetynet issue still not resolved
[Google Pixel 6] jlokos:
Safetynet issue? My raven passes safetynet with safetynet fix v2.4.0 mod.
[Google Pixel 6] kpirnie:
Thirded....

Now if only I can get Kiri installed, I'll be golden (honestly, only need it for the 1080 rez... my old eyes aren't what they used to be)
[Google Pixel 6] mfinlay04:
I had more trouble after the update than I did on the original install getting Kiri installed

.

I ended up just manually flashing the update to both boot slots, used the Feb factory update boot image (patched with magisk), and then flashed with FKM. I did not wipe, and just dirty flashed on both slots.
[Google Pixel 6] AnierinB:
Safetynet passes by default.
[Google Pixel 6] sam.balia1012:
did you end up getting Evo recovery flashed ? having same issue
[Google Pixel 6] jlokos:
I used this method (patched stock boot image) on the January build and it boot looped my phone; you had to use the EvoX boot image to install a custom kernel. On the February build , I flashed the EvoX image (as I did on January), and it boot looped. Something must have changed. In any event, the latest build is working great.
[Google Pixel 6] lil_michelle:
Updated to February version through ota and retained root through patching to inactive slot. Running well 👍🏼
[Google Pixel 6] sam.balia1012:
can anyone help. Flashed vendor_boot.img never booted to Evo recovery.

Boot looping ....
[Google Pixel 6] sam.balia1012:
while in bootloader

fastboot flash vendor_boot vendor_boot.img

It just wouldnt loop to Evo recovery, just bootloop. Am I doing anything wrong ?
[Google Pixel 6] AnierinB:
Well, were you on 13 stable prior to attempting to flash the ROM? Not 14DP1 or QPR2 beta. vendor_boot flashes and boots just fine, so it's definitely something on your end. I've written my guide for those coming from unmodified stock Jan/Feb with an unlocked bootloader.
[Google Pixel 6] sam.balia1012:
i'm on A13 build T2B3.230109.004 (Beta 3.1)
[Google Pixel 6] AnierinB:
Then that's most likely why.
[Google Pixel 6] sam.balia1012:
can't find a stable build A13 factory image. Can you help
[Google Pixel 6] sam.balia1012:
is this it 13.0.0 (TQ1A.230205.002, Feb 2023)
[Google Pixel 6] fk4mil:
custom kernel blu_spark etc. in 2023-02-12 version not work, error vendor_dlkm. Previous version Evolution, custom kernel work fine.
[Google Pixel 6] AnierinB:
Not my problem to deal with.
[Google Pixel 6] Ericarthurc:
Absolutely amazing rom. Took me a couple tries and different PCs to get it flashed haha.. kept getting stuck on 'verifying package'. And was using the latest local adb package.. just didn't like my desktop, working on my laptop though. Probably a USB issue...

Amazing work though! One thing weird I found, was if you turn on the 'hold center for assistant' option with the 3 button nav bar, it adds a circle to the center nav bar icon. and if you use a custom/different nav bar icon set the circle is still there on top of your center icon. Restart and systenui reboot doesn't fix it. But if you turn off the assistant gesture option the circle goes away. Not a big deal, just thought I would report it.

Face unlock is a game changer btw... Missed it from my S20 FE

I am on bluejay btw, latest build
[Google Pixel 6] [-silver-]:
Really great rom.

Everything works fine on Pixel 6a.

The only thing i'm missing is the function

Now playing - Detect tracks playing nearby

Is this function not available in this rom?
[Google Pixel 6] AnierinB:
It will be available on the upcoming releases.
[Google Pixel 6] sam.balia1012:
Figured out what I did wrong. Had beta A13 build.

Great job on the ROM. I had to have thus since it was perfect on OP5.
[Google Pixel 6] a546023623:
I also want to know
[Google Pixel 6] superior888:
Hey. Animations are a bit choppy, using raven.. anyone else?
[Google Pixel 6] Eidenz:
I noticed that the translation feature for live caption is not working (for example playing a Japanese video will display japanese captions, but when turning on translation it will fail).

Any possibility this gets fixed in a future update? I do use it from time to time..

Edit: latest OTA update fixed this issue.
[Google Pixel 6] ahoslc:
Does this pass safety net ?
[Google Pixel 6] akshob:
First timer.. Just flashed on Pixel 6 (oriole) and it is amazing. Thank you AnierinB!

One suggestion: The post with installation instructions where you mention "Be on stock stable January or February", can you add unlocked bootloader?

As a first timer noob, I was confused if that was required. I read through the comments and unlocked my bootloader so I din't brick my phone :LOL:

Is there a way to spoof Play Store country? Some of the apps I'm trying to install are not available in my country and it is not available on any apk mirror sites.
[Google Pixel 6] AnierinB:
I think having an unlocked bootloader should be a given. You wouldn't be able to flash images not signed by google without it, so your chances of a brick would be 0%.
[Google Pixel 6] w_tapper:
Do you have any idea as to why custom kernels don't work with this ROM?

Started bootlooping at the google logo when I flashed kirisakura 4.4.2 on 7.6.1
[Google Pixel 6] AnierinB:
You flash custom kernels at your own risk. Some have had success, others haven't. It's not my issue to look into as I only support the kernel shipped in the ROM, which would be stock.
[Google Pixel 6] w_tapper:
Fair enough, my phone doesn't last a full day without kirisakura, so it's really important for me
[Google Pixel 6] kpirnie:
I havent been able to get Kiri on this yet... tho... Im going to try again in a couple days.

Mu suspicion is the vendor_boot.img that's included in the kernel. zips. They arent EvoX vendor_boots, so Im goin to replace the one in it and give it a shot.

I need Kiri for the 1080 resolution... mu old eyes cant take this small interface anymore ;)

that plus, i end up with over 2 days of life
[Google Pixel 6] w_tapper:
i remember someone who got it working by patching the stock boot.img with magisk and using that
[Google Pixel 6] lallolu:
I am not sure this is the right place to ask, but would it be possible to enable increasing volume steps? It would be great with better granularity in the steps.
[Google Pixel 6] AnierinB:
If the 1080p display timings are all you need, then I can just add those changes into the included kernel/dtbo.
[Google Pixel 6] w_tapper:
Could you also include some kind of battery life optimizations?
[Google Pixel 6] w_tapper:
trying to go back to this rom again, fingers crossed that sourceforge doesnt mess up the download
[Google Pixel 6] w_tapper:
SOURCEFORGE WOULD RATHER DIE THAN LET ME DOWNLOAD THIS ROM I HAVE TRIED SO MANY TIMES AND IT HAS NOT WORKED AT ALL

saw a new build on sourceforge, am downloading rn
[Google Pixel 6] zosina:
Finally got it working by flashing vendor_boot, dirty flashing Evo in recovery, patch and flash boot.img then flash Kiri with kernel flasher. Have to admit i got some errors along the way though. First time i flashed vendor_boot i got an error screen "no command" when booting to recovery.

Make sure to use updated 4.4.2 Kiri.
[Google Pixel 6] kpirnie:
yeah... ive tried that
[Google Pixel 6] kpirnie:
OMG that would be amazing!!!! 🥰🥰

I know it was included in one of the beta builds from google too...
[Google Pixel 6] w_tapper:
did you try
[Google Pixel 6] kpirnie:
Im working on a little somethin somethin... once I can figure out how to create a flashable magisk module.

I haven't done anything since since oreo, so its like learning it all over again :|
[Google Pixel 6] w_tapper:
sounds exciting
[Google Pixel 6] w_tapper:
HOLY CRAP BOYS THE TUTORIAL WORKED
[Google Pixel 6] kpirnie:
NICE!
[Google Pixel 6] kpirnie:
still doesn't work for me :(

This time, instead of booting right into bootloader, it just bootloops the google logo

Thankfully, all that's needed to get back out of it, is to use the volume and power buttons to get back into fastboot mode, then flash the original boot.img (or patched), flash the original dtbo.img, then reboot fastboot and flash the original vendor_dlkm.img
[Google Pixel 6] ogkillergreen:
I have oriole

It's only passing the Basic Integrity check

CTS is failing. Can't use Gpay etc..
[Google Pixel 6] fk4mil:
Cts fix for magisk
[Google Pixel 6] AnierinB:
Awesome, I'll start working on that in a few minutes. Which model do you have again?

Safetynet passes out of the box if unrooted. That's generally how it goes. After rooting, getting CTS to pass is on the user.
[Google Pixel 6] kpirnie:
🥰🥰

Im on Raven

Appreciate ya mate, regardless :)
[Google Pixel 6] ogkillergreen:
Worked! Thank you so much
[Google Pixel 6] w_tapper:
There was a new file uploaded on the 16th in the sourceforge folder for pixel 6 pro I used that, sorry I forgot to mention
[Google Pixel 6] w_tapper:
my CTS is fine
[Google Pixel 6] kpirnie:
aye, that's the one I flashed.

went so far as to try adding the vendor_boot from evo (the initial one) to the zip and no-go, along with both the dtbo and dlkm images still looped on me.
[Google Pixel 6] w_tapper:
huh that's really weird, did you make sure to patch via payload dump
[Google Pixel 6] kpirnie:
sure did.

also tried arock boot.img
[Google Pixel 6] ahoslc:
Are you rooted?
[Google Pixel 6] kpirnie:
also tried radioactive and blu_spark

same thing.

(not lookin for support for it OP, you shouldn't have to, since the rom comes with a kernel built in ;), and you didnt build these 3... kust thought it would be helpful for others to know that not everyone can do it... )
[Google Pixel 6] mfinlay04:
Having issues with Google photos spoofing... All uploads are counting towards my data storage. I have tried to untick reboot, and retick and reboot. When I unticked, photos doesn't mentioned unlimited photo storage, with the toggle ticked it does say unlimited storage, but doesn't "work"
[Google Pixel 6] AnierinB:
Someone else has already reported this although It's not something I care to look into as it's pretty much stealing storage from Google (wasn't my decision to even include such feature in the ROM). Good luck, have fun.
[Google Pixel 6] [-silver-]:
No, i'm not
[Google Pixel 6] lallolu:
Did you verify that the usage is from google photos/videos and not things you have in google drive and attachments in gmail? You can see the breakdown of your storage usage in GDrive.
[Google Pixel 6] abalam:
Situation: when I flash vendor_boot vendor_boot.img and reboot to recovery my device gets stuck on the google logo screen,gets stuck on the google logo screen,even if I choose recovery via button.

I am on latest stable feb Raven
[Google Pixel 6] w_tapper:
flash stock and then reflash evo x
[Google Pixel 6] abalam:
What, stock rom?? I am on latest stock. Flash the vendor_boot.img . Wanna go te recovery but hanging in google screen. Manual back to bootloader, try again and same situation. Also using previous fastboot sdk version and flash the procedure in linux cinnamon. Not wanna use latest update sdk, did because it causes problems I read.
[Google Pixel 6] abalam:
I think the problem is me. I was on kiri kernel and stock for the flash. Have now flashed stock back and try again later. Need my phone atm

Edit: This works. Think problems with kiri kernel and flash rom.

Tnx for the rom dev
[Google Pixel 6] ahoslc:
Any place to see change logs?
[Google Pixel 6] Eidenz:
Latest OTA update (evolution_oriole-userdebug 13 TQ1A.230205.002 1676778643) shows device as unsupported every time you open the phone app and disabled translation in live caption
[Google Pixel 6] Ericarthurc:
Same on Bluejay

Update: delete and resintall of phone app from playstore resolved the issue
[Google Pixel 6] abalam:
Also on raven. Delete app in playstore and reinstall again.
[Google Pixel 6] AnierinB:
That kind of attitude makes me want to intentionally ignore you. I work on 17 different devices and designate time to each of them.. If I don't publicly acknowledge something right away doesn't mean it has been ignored or isn't being looked into.
[Google Pixel 6] Eidenz:
Apologies for the attitude, but I do thank you for your reply.
[Google Pixel 6] Kanuk:
Loving this ROM, smooth as silk. Just curious if there is a way to make notification panel background transparency adjustable instead of solid?
[Google Pixel 6] abalam:
I thought the project theme worked on this rom, you can try that. Currently in stock so can't test it for you
[Google Pixel 6] PapaSmurf6768:
I am unable to restore a Google backup when fresh installing this ROM. After completing setup a message appears that just says, "Couldn't finish restoring the backup". I checked if I could restore it on stock and it did work, so I don't think it's the backup itself. Specifically SMS isn't restoring.
[Google Pixel 6] abalam:
Is a known story, will be a fix for it. I advise everyone to make a backup of the SMS and counting data first. I always use the app, swift backup.
[Google Pixel 6] AnierinB:
Fixed

Fixed
[Google Pixel 6] radaan:
Hello. Im having problems with the latest version. Its very buggy for me. The ambient display doesnt work properly because sometimes it turns off and the only way to turn the screen on is pressing the power button. It happens specially when streaming audio in the car with bluetooth. This weird behavior happened in the previous version but only far between. Thank you in advance.
[Google Pixel 6] vominhkha:
hey i using crdroid rom. i wanna try this rom, how code i flash in adb
[Google Pixel 6] cldkrs:
Everytime i get

adb: failed to read command: No error

Why?
[Google Pixel 6] Jaitsu:
Anyone else having an issue where the first time you place a call, it doesn't ring and "disconnects" after 10 seconds, but on the second try it goes through fine? I'd provide logs but I have a bunch of LSposed stuff etc. I'd need to disable and I just wanna see if others are running into this too first.
[Google Pixel 6] radaan:
You have the wrong SDK platform-tools. Happened to me too.
[Google Pixel 6] HSD-Pilot:
If you're on Win 11 open the Terminal in your Platform Tools Folder, type cmd first and hit enter. After that you can use adb, at least on my PC it worked.
[Google Pixel 6] jlokos:
No issues when making a call on Raven.
[Google Pixel 6] squidbutt:
sometimes on oriole. but not every time.
[Google Pixel 6] zosina:
Follow the instructions in first post, very simple.
[Google Pixel 6] mfinlay04:
I'm having this issue as well. The setting for AOD have disappeared from settings as well. I saw them when I first booted the ROM, now those options are gone from settings.
[Google Pixel 6] radaan:
I reverted to the previous version and everything is working flawlessly
[Google Pixel 6] mfinlay04:
Do you have the setting to control AOD on the previous build? I feel like I was unable to find them on the previous build before I switched to a different ROM for a week.
[Google Pixel 6] radaan:
Settings/screen/lock screen. Im in portuguese so there is no reason to put a screen save
[Google Pixel 6] Koray_:
Noticing a small visual bug on the latest build;

The volume panels bar does not appear to move from full volume until the 3rd click of volume down, however the volume still changes.

EDIT: this is on oriole
[Google Pixel 6] Jaitsu:
Getting some random reboots on oriole; specifically I'm finding it on the "password required after system restarts" screen when it's been left untouched for a couple of hours. Logs state "APC Watchdog" as the reason. Going to disable LSposed for a while to clean up the logs and then get some logs of this (and also the weird "first call immediately after being idle for a while doesn't connect" thing) if possible, but that may be a bit being that both seem random for me.
[Google Pixel 6] mfinlay04:
Same "issue" on Raven.
[Google Pixel 6] w_tapper:
Same issue here on raven except on lineageos 20
[Google Pixel 6] squidbutt:
How do I use magic eraser?
[Google Pixel 6] hrabe.X:
only on stock rom
[Google Pixel 6] squidbutt:
Is there any way to install it on this rom. Theres gotta be. Ya?
[Google Pixel 6] w_tapper:
I think that it just checks model on google photos and then enables it if its a pixel
[Google Pixel 6] Koray_:
Another small bug, though this ones a little more specific

When music is playing and car bluetooth lyrics (where it changes the song title to each synced lyric) is being used, tap to check, raise to wake, and double-tap to wake do not function until the music is paused. It also causes the always on display to stop functioning. Maybe the title changes are preventing it from catching the taps? I can definitely see why the AOD would turn off, since it's a lot of content updates.

This is again on Oriole, using Salt Player for the lyrics. When that feature is disabled, it functions as expected. Sometimes a reboot will fix this for a short while. To reproduce, you need Salt Player, an MP3 file, and a .lrc file with synced lyrics for said song.
[Google Pixel 6] hrabe.X:
probably turn off unlimited storage on google photos
[Google Pixel 6] djclark25:
Installed on my raven and loving this ROM so far, great work dev!

One quick question, is there any way to add the saving of a photo/picture after you press the recent button, like there is on the stock launcher? I know you can press vol down+power to do a partial screenshot but still have to move the crop lines. On stock ROM you can just press the picture icon that appears over the photo/picture and it saves in the Pictures folder rather than screenshot.

If not, I'll try installing the pixel extended magisk module.
[Google Pixel 6] kelso76:
Hi!

Sorry for the possible dumb question, but can i just follow the instruction for a new flash, or should i unlock bootloader or do something else first ?!

It's a brand new phone.

Thanks
[Google Pixel 6] radaan:
I had the same issue with spotify. I reverted to the previous version.
[Google Pixel 6] radaan:
You need to unlock bootloader first.
[Google Pixel 6] Koray_:
Interesting, maybe it was by coincidence that when i turned off BT lyrics it was OK again. I thought for sure that'd be what broke it since it broke the AOD display as well
[Google Pixel 6] radaan:
Sometimes a random notification brooke the aod too. The latest version is really buggy for me.
[Google Pixel 6] Koray_:
Maybe i'll give the last version a shot. Were you able to simply flash over this one?
[Google Pixel 6] radaan:
Yes. Sideload. No problems
[Google Pixel 6] Koray_:
Gotcha. Looks like they took the download down though, so i'll have to wait for the next update. Thankfully a reboot fixes most bugs anyway, and most are minor
[Google Pixel 6] kelso76:
Thanks for your answer
[Google Pixel 6] lil_michelle:
On latest build , flashed via ota and install magisk to inactive slot and running great and I love the new signal icons added, like I said before the most themeable rom ive used since my GS3 and I love theming so it is awesome 😎💯
[Google Pixel 6] w_tapper:
No matter what ROM I use, I find myself always coming back to this one
[Google Pixel 6] Anhlatuananh:
you seem enthusiastic to this post
[Google Pixel 6] w_tapper:
yeah I love this rom
[Google Pixel 6] lil_michelle:
Yes it's awesome 👍🏼😎
[Google Pixel 6] mfinlay04:
Looks like a new update was posted on Sourceforge, but the OTA isn't showing an update available
