Conversely Dec build may well include changes that are not compatible with Nov build, so in theory it may not work 100% bug free... Just sayin!!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] mehul92mehta:
Smooth Display setting not showing on pixel 7a, running on 60hz and laggy. Pls help

banking apps and gg pay woking good on 14 version bros?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Seanie280672:
No issues here with my banks, Lloyds and Santander, battery life is amazing, still at 50% after a whole days use.

Only problem ive found every now and then is sometimes when I unlock my device (Pixel 7 Pro), I have a pure black wallpaper, basically the wall paper ive set has gone, it happens a couple of times a day, but if I open up any app, and then close it again, my wallpaper is back, I am however using rainpaper to set my live wallpaper, maybe thats something to do with it.

socket_rensh​

I left the pixel beta program, it offered me the December update in software update, but I know how long that takes, ive never known a device to take so long to optimize files, so I just manually flashed the November update from the Google site and their android flasher tool, dead easy to do.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] :
Thanks bro...flashing Nov update as we speak. Will let you know how it goes.

Edit: Works perfectly as expected :)(y)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] AnierinB:
That bug where the wallpaper suddenly becomes black is an issue in AOSP 14_r14 and below. It is not caused by anything we have added. Regardless, google fixed it in QPR1 and it will be fixed on our 8.1 releases.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Seanie280672:
Thank you, looking forward to the next update
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] reg66:
Pretty much ditto to you, fella.

Rom is smooth as f@*k, battery life is superb compared to before (A13). Banking apps [Barclays UK, namely - it can be extremely fussy as can Santander] all functioning fine and dandy, using Magisk Alpha and various tweaks. Happy to elaborate if anyone runs into issues with banking apps etc and requires root.

But yeah, other than wallpaper going black from time to time (no biggy), this rom is freakin superb - thanks @AnierinB kudos
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Ajthescot:
Battery seems to be really good, come from old x r13 version, flashed factory r14 Nov, full wipe then this and I'm on 9hr screen time and on 50% still,

Love it so far no bugs experienced to report as yet.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] rohheat:
guys i have been using pixel 7 for week now. the battery is really ****ty on stock ... less then 3 hrs and i only use whatsapp and trading view , chrome. no gaming atall. i use evo 14 rom on other devices and its pretty stable and sot is really good on them.. so what if i install evo on pixel 7 ? will i miss on any google features on stock rom? and will the battery improve instantly after installing evo ? please help
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] rohheat:
Bro I am getting less then 3 hrs of sot with stock rom , new device it is . Do u miss out any Google features after installing evo? And my sot will increase instantly after installing evo 14 ?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Saswata Chakraborty:
Did you get 90Hz back?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] reg66:
i'm not sure specically which stock features will be missing, if any. But, this rom, EvoX has a ton more customization features. With regard to battery, it may take 2-3 days for the kernel to settle ie for you to get consistent battery gauge. Good luck with the flash should you wish to proceed... just be sure to flash Nov stock prior to this rom
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] p4ra:
Looks like a very nice ROM, just installed, but VoLTE, VoWiFi do not seem to work with my carrier with this ROM, unfortunately.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] TheLoonyRebel:
Anyone test the current build on TMobile who can confirm if VoLTE/VoWiFi works?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] highdro:
Yes, it runs like that 24/7. All cores. Other people can hit 5ghz with around the same voltage, so they say, but I can't. I did not hit the silicon lottery with mine, that is for sure. It's about time to upgrade anyway. But let's not derail the thread further.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] wgrant:
Took the plunge and flashed... unfortunately it doesn't see my physical SIM in the phone. I'm on ATT. I'll have to go back to stock for the time being, which stinks since I had to wipe the phone. Can't do anything without my SIM being functional.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] cultofluna:
Another user had the same issue but after few restarts its fixed ( also remove and place back the sim)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] smorpaket:
You didn't flash directly from a Google Beta, right? That will cause issues.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jejemc:
Hi, I'm in the same situation as forcing you to go back to stock rom. On the other hand, the unoficial no problems detecting the sim works flawlessly.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] wgrant:
I restarted 5 times with no luck. Didn't pull the sim out but shouldn't need to for it to be seen.

Nope, came from regular January.

Stock saw the sim right away. I'll give this another go after the next build.

Appreciate everyone's input
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jejemc:
yes me too I am waiting for the next build hoping that it works correctly.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Hollyca:
Hey guys,

My Pixel 7 black arrives tomorrow! Very excited as I came from the zenfone 8 which went to the repair centre 3 times #wtf. I plan on flashing this AMAZING rom (feels good to see a great dev community) but I saw the thread on PixelFlasher, I know how to use cmd and all that stuff, but since there is a dedicated tool, is it worth using? Has anyone tried it?

All the best
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Bestiole222:
I already tried with custom rom but didn't succeed. But for stock it's a marvelous tool. So I always apply instructions given with a custom rom.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] wgrant:
Very strange experience this morning. I decide to give another go and went through the steps again but it keeps getting stuck when sideloading the rom. I've swapped cables and ports on the PC with the same results. I cannot get it to apply the rom now. I've redownloaded everything several times and reflashed stock to both slots multiple times with full wipes during those. Stock installs with no issue but this just won't today.

Anyone have any thoughts?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] ajsmsg78:
I installed this rom yesterday, had no mobile data so I went and flashed the stock January Pixel build again then flashed the rom again and have no issues. Great build!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] wgrant:
Completely reflashed stock to both slots, booted and confirmed stock working.

Changed computers completely and the phone gets to "verifying update package..." but my computer stopped at 6% yet again just like it has every time on my other computer. This is so frustrating since it flashed without issue last night but I had no SIM.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] MariusKv:
It will finish. Happend to me to. Let it run its gonna finish
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] wgrant:
It didn't finish, I let it sit for 30 minutes while I was in a meeting.

I did FINALLY get it to flash though and I have data and it sees my SIM right away.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] AnierinB:
Format data prior to attempting to sideload the ROM as per the OP. Apparently that prevents the sideload getting stuck at a specific percentage
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] wgrant:
I did format data. I followed the instructions to the T. For whatever reason the serving of the file from the computers to the phone was hanging. On one of the random attempts it went through.

Can anyone point me in the direction of shutting off AOD? I turned off everything I can find related to it but I am most likely missing a switch somewhere.

Getting everything set up and seeing somethings hopefully someone can point out the fix for, since incant find them.

First is an icon in the status bar I can't hide but also don't know what it is.

Second is the gap below the icons on the home screen. Already set the settings to get rid of the keyboard selector and hide the pill but the gap is huge. Would love to shift down. Plus when typing I sometimes get this weird white space.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Enddo:
following the steps outlined in this thread, I rebooted into recovery mode to format data/factory reset.

but at the bottom of the screen, I'm told "error: recovery: failed to receive number of sectors for init,system_b,/dev/block/dm1,/dev/block/dm02,/dev/block/dm-0 from snapuserd daemon

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] rohheat:
Sorry I am nood here .. I have already installed dec update ...so can I install directly this rom after unlocking bootloader or I still have go install nov stock rom before installing this one ?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] reg66:
bottom line: i don't know.

This EvoX version was based/paired with Nov stock build, so that's what's recommended. As a complete guess, you may not run into any bugs or if you do, minimal ones. But, if you don't flash Nov 1st and run into issues you'll most likely not get much help and told to use the recommended FW.

Essentially the choice is yours but personally i would always use recommended config. It's pretty simples, just download the full zip Nov build from Google and flash using Pixel Flasher. I flashed to both slots and chose to disable verity and verification, just in case potential kernels required those disabled still (although i think it's a feature of this rom that they're already disabled, or it was).

Not that i currently feel any need to flash another kernel at this stage, battery is great compared to 13

https://developers.google.com/android/images 2nd one up from [at time of writing] for Nov build
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Saswata Chakraborty:
Just clean flashed EvoX November build (I was on stock Pixel UI November) and could not find smooth scrolling (90Hz) anywhere.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] AnierinB:
This is known for the current lynx release. It is fixed for QPR1 releases, which for lynx, will be released tomorrow.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Saswata Chakraborty:
Thanks buddy!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] rohheat:
Bro can u send the the correct link from start to end

Unlock pixel 7 bootloader (1) to installing evo rom (2)

And everything to do between (1) and (2) for successful booting of evo rom
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] reg66:
Can't just now, at work... But, a new build of EvoX is out using Dec build... No need to flash previous version. I'll check back later when home if you need....
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Seanie280672:
Wow that was quick for the new build, wasn't quite expecting 2.5gb though, that's full rom size, will this wipe any data ?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] AnierinB:
No.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] AnierinB:
The FP used in the built in play integrity fix has once again been blocked.

Here is an updated Pif.apk. Simply install, reboot and clear data for Play store. Afterwards, CTS/Play integrity API will pass again (until this one is blocked).
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] rohheat:
It will be great if dec build has be released .. then I can directly flash the evo latest rom .. I would require your help to unlock the bootloader and install the evo dec rom
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Ajthescot:
December build

december build is available . factory https://developers.google.com/android/images ota https://developers.google.com/android/ota

and plenty threads showing how to unlock boot /root etc . i suggest reading them so you know how to trouble shoot if you need it instead of randoms posting conflicting info or you having to wait on replys.

on another subject . i just updated and it appears that the long press on home screen /home settings no longer has the options home screen and ability to remove the search bar
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] scorpio76r:
I use the nova launcher to get rid of the search bar.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Seanie280672:
The instructions to flash are on page 1 under installation instructions, it's dead easy to do.

Unlocking the bootloader is equally as easy, there's 100s of videos on YouTube how to do it, do you know how to use adb and fastboot ?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] scorpio76r:
He received assistance in another thread. He should be good to go by now.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] scorpio76r:
Is there anyone who came from another Android 14 custom rom and, then flashed this rom? If so, how did you save your data to be able to bring it over to this rom?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] CraigHardy:
Swift Backup
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Seanie280672:
Im stuggling to find a couple of setting with this new update, can anyone help out please, one is how to now remove the google search bar from the bottom of the home screen, next, wheres all the app drawer settings been moved too ? ie making the background in the app drawer transparent and finally, how to enable the extended at a glance widget ?

EDIT: Theres all sorts of settings gone missing since the last build, lots of the app grid sizes have gone, everything to do with the app drawer has gone, not able to change app drawer / home screen icons anymore nor re-size them.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] reg66:
Sounds like you need nova! (sorry it doesn't help your actual query)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Seanie280672:
No offence, but i used nova on the stock rom, I changed to a custom rom to do away with some of the apps I had installed, trouble with nova launcher or any launcher is you dont get the same at a glance widget, you get a pill shaped thing, its horrible.

Its like all the customizations for the home screen and app drawer in this latest update have gone.....
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] reg66:
Fair do pal... No offence taken at all (y)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] AnierinB:
Those features were explicitly for Evolution X launcher. We have switched back to Pixel Launcher, which is here to stay for good.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] rockingondrums:
Oh, 14 dropped 10 days ago? Nice.

Is pif apk only for Evo8? I haven't kept up these past two weeks on chiteroman's PIF stuff because I just started using Samsung Pay on my watch and there are 2 use cases of Gpay that still work on my phone despite Google being a bunch of asshats.

Is Evo PIF solution an alternative to users having to create/use their own PIF ID solution as they were talking about a couple of weeks ago? (Which I am fully prepared to do, once I have time or my 2 use cases get broken).
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] bird333:
Does this latest version stop Google from trying to update the phone?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] rohheat:
Yes I do .. I have unlocked other devices .. one quick question custom recovery is not need to be installed after unlocking the bootloader for custom rom installation? And most importantly do I need to flash all those files which are mentioned in the installation section since I am on dec update , or directly sideload the rom ? These steps I am talking about

Download boot, dtbo, vendor_kernel_boot, vendor_boot & rom for your device from here

2. Reboot to bootloader

3. fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img

fastboot flash vendor_kernel_boot vendor_kernel_boot.img

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.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] rockingondrums:
You're going to need to pick up your end of the couch here man. Numerous people have chimed in. Don't watch random YouTube videos. Explore and read through the sub forum of the device right here on XDA. Follow the install instructions, open up a few other tabs of other cheetah threads, if you need to have a working phone, and set aside a couple of hours to do it so that if something goes wrong you can figure it out with all the needed browser tabs open. Also, download everything you think you might need beforehand. You've got to have a basic understanding of the foundation of how to do these things so this thread isn't cluttered with pages of basic stuff because there are already so many threads/guides/how to's/stickies. Believe in yourself. You got it.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] mehul92mehta:

Faced some problems for 12 December build. There are some functions which are not working.

1. Unlimited google photos

2. Vibrate on call connect & disconnect

3. Sometimes volume slider showed in the middle of screen during volume+/-

Anyone faced this issues? Need help
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] AnierinB:
1. I know, I intentionally disable that feature on my builds. I'm not going to explain why again either.

2. I'll look into that.

3. You're on an old build, update to the latest.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] AnierinB:
Yup
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] namgttn123:
Could you please add double tap on home screen feature , the common issue of Android 14 is the screen will be shutter when use app like screen off widget, turn screen off and that freaking annoying
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] reg66:
not sure i understand your English but i use Nova. it has double tap to turn screen off and is highly customizable
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] namgttn123:
Yep, nova support double tap to sleep, but any launcher (non default) has weird animation
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] AnierinB:
No, pixel launcher stays.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] prrlhkr:
Any chance it'd be possible to add an option to change the number of quick qs tiles visible from the first swipe of the notification bar?

Sorry for asking, is the December build for Lynx coming today? Since, I am not on Telegram, I am probably missing out on many updates that you might be sharing there.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] AnierinB:
It will be out tomorrow
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Saswata Chakraborty:
Sorry I forgot it's still 15th in the USA.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] DracoPiece:
hello been loving this rom, can you add the explanation of google photos in FAQs?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Saswata Chakraborty:
I think it's against Google's code of conduct and may lead to account ban (temporary or permanent). Google is now taking strict actions against piracy or anything that violates their policies.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] mad4some:
Getting ready to update to latest 12/14 build and have root question. Can someone confirm that root is lost after dirty update? Also, if root lost, after updating per op instructions, is re-installing magisk and letting it re-patch init_boot all that is needed to re-root or is extracting and manually patching Init_boot necessary? Thanks.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] macgealai:
Is there gonna be a rom for the 7a or what? The others were out a bit ago and I'm waiting (im)patiently... .pleez?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] scorpio76r:
You just added more time to your wait by asking that question 😂
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] mehul92mehta:
Good time comes to those who wait
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Saswata Chakraborty:
If you are updating the ROM through recovery, then just sideload the ROM and then reboot the device to recovery again and sideload Magisk zip and reboot to system. And if you are using system OTA updater, then download the OTA update and before rebooting the device, open Magisk and choose install to inactive slot. Hope it helps!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] reg66:
Who do you think you are demanding updates that come for free... Can't you even take the time to read the previous page of posts to find your answer... Only, that answer is probably now obsolete due to your comment.

Nice one, idiot
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Esin8785:
I installed the rom on my pixel 6 device and it is a awesome rom to say the least, I do have some glitches here and there mainly the finger print location, what I mean is like apps that want my finger print to log in, it shows the fingerprint and where you put your finger but it fails most times because it's actually a lil lower than where it says it's at, I have found to put my finger slightly down a lil and it works but other than that it's a awesome rom
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Aluc@rd1387:
Yeah I have faced the same problem also.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] bird333:
Does anybody know the answer to this?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] mad4some:
Will flashing the previous build over the latest work? I know Google has made rollbacks a no go but wondering if custom rom is different?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] sabindaman:
I'm on A13 version of exo x.

Is OTA update method safe?

If not which method should I use to install?

Thanks!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Seanie280672:
I would like to know this too, but where to get it from ?

I prefer the Evolution X launcher version.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] mad4some:
The downloads are available on sourceforge. Yeah, something with the new pixel launcher broke the 3rd party launcher that I use, I'll probably try to roll back tomorrow.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] reg66:
Which launcher? I use nova and haven't noticed any issues...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] mad4some:
Apex, it's very similar to Nova and just as old, I have been married to it for 10 yrs at least!.....I'm also married to the 2-button nav and this last build broke my swipe up for recents, which might not be launcher related at all.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Seanie280672:
Let us know how you get on and if you're successful back flashing without a factory reset
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] scorpio76r:
A factory reset is going to be needed.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] namgttn123:
It seems pif APK don't work anymore, I installed it 3 days ago and could use google pay without any issue but today I couldn't use Google wallet to pay in super market, the screen pop-up something like "didn't meet requirements of security...."
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] prrlhkr:
I was unsuccessful at rolling back to the Dec 8 build. Factory reset and everything loaded, but stuck in a bootloop before. You can try this extracted APK and see if that works... no guarantees
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] mad4some:
Thanks, saved me some headaches no doubt.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] MajicDroidPirate:
Quick question i saw multiple people in the thread say there is 32 bit app support ( i am on cheetah) i just flashed last night, i have tried to install multiple 32 bit apks and so far all of them say your devices is incompatible. is there something extra i have to do to enable 32 bit support?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] smorpaket:
A14 dropped support.

Ah Damn that explains it then.

It's Android 14 at least....I wouldn't know what 8.1 looks like. I have the pixel 7a. I just don't get it, like, why include all the boot dtbo etc.... If the rom wasn't ready? Why tease us and leave us feeling the days/weeks?

Before having a go at Dev's that do all things for you and me for, erm, FREE... Show a bit of patience and courtesy. The rom will come.
