I would say no probably. I have not tried it so I can't really say for sure though. But part of instructions say to not even restore settings from backup after flash. And of course the instructions say to format data before flashing ROM. If you can make a good backup before doing anything it shouldn't hurt to try it, I wouldn't think. Worse case (in my mind, I don't know) it's a boot loop that would require a format and fresh install anyway. So you really wouldn't be out anything.

Keep in mind I like to do dumb stuff just to see what happens. I don't recommend trying it, it's up to you. 😂

Also, I am not a dev of this ROM in any way what so ever. I'm just going by things I've done before. I don't know 100% that it wouldn't hurt your phone too try it.

What is changelog in 10 feb 2024 ver?
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Chickenkillla81:
Can I ask where you found the feb ver? I looked in the downloads on OP and it only showed me Jan 7 version?

Edit: nevermind. I wasnt looking at the right things. I was looking at build not the boot, vendor, dtbo. My bad. So to update to newest security patch all I have to do is flash those correct? Not the whole build?

I can probably do that in a kernel flasher couldn't I?

[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Chickenkillla81:
Nice. Thank you kindly senor. Should I also flash the updated boot, vendor and dtbo? Are there any benefits to that?

I'm assuming they are updated as the modified dates have changed. Thx for your assistance.

Hi everyone,

I've noticed that Quick Torch is no longer working on Evox A14 when AOD is enabled. In A13, quick torch worked fine. Is this the intended behavior?
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] T3chDelicious:
Need some help with the update process for the new February patch. I tried the build in OTA feature over settings->system->software update but that failed (said in recovery my firmware may be corrupted) and in recovery it switched automatically to the other slot so I could boot into the working January firmware.

Is it now a good idea to flash it via the fastboot ota update command and will this method keep my data? If yes, do I also need to flash the new boot, vendor, and dbto images or are these already included when flashing the February firmware?
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Chickenkillla81:
I have not updated yet so I'm not totally sure about the new boot, etc. I'm assuming it's a good idea though since they do all have an updated timestamp on them like the new build. You can also dirty flash the updates according to the OP and that should retain your data. It says it right at the very bottom of OP. So my assumption is it won't affect data. I also think you can just download all that to your phone and do it in recovery since it will flash to non active slot. So if something does go wrong it should do the same that it did to you when you tried it the other way. At least I think so. 😂. I don't really have the energy to mess with the update at the moment but if I get a second wind here after my shower I'll check it out. It was a long day at work 🥱
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] T3chDelicious:
Thanks for this super fast reply 😅

Same for me - came from work and does also not really have the energy now to mess around with a very good working phone but I'll try it out.

My understanding is also that fastboot ota update keep your data but you'll never know.

So there's only one way to find out...find some time and dirty flash it and if something goes south than I have at least the time to set-up everything from scratch.

But thanks a lot and good luck to you for your flashing 😅
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Chickenkillla81:
Well I was screwing around before bed and figured out that the recovery doesn't do the flashy stuff like TWRP did. So you do need to connect to PC to flash vendor and dtbo. Obviously need to do the side load for the new build also. I decided to just try and flash the boot image with Franco kernel and it worked but my dumb a$$forgot to patch it first with magisk and I lost root. DUH!! big red truck! So until tomorrow.

Note: no problems with booting though. Interesting that my build is January and saying Jan security but my kernel is now Feb 11 since I flashed the new boot.img. Isn't the kernel where the security update is? Anyone know the answer to that?

Night 😁
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] dwarf_t0ssn:
Just did the OTA update, was flawless. I grabbed the new boot.img and patched with magisk. Everything at first glance is fine.
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] badapple420:
Running great, OTA flash magisk to inactive slot reboot and poof, fully rooted with all my data. This is the way. thank you for your work appreciate it much
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Chickenkillla81:
I still haven't hooked up to computer to fix my root. Lol. I've been lazy and for some reason viper4 Android is still working even though root is gone. I'm definitely not complaining about that. Gotta have the music bumpin. Lol

Does it have smart select from the recent apps screen like stock?
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] MrTheyes:
ahhh i love banking apps, again, would it be possible to lock the bootloader after flashing a right avb key? cause strong integrity or a module that will help with that
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Chickenkillla81:
I believe it's possible, but I wouldn't recommend it. If something goes wrong with borrowed locked you won't have a way to flash back. If you run root you can use modules to pass integrity, although not the strong integrity like you asked about
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Cyde042:
Yes, it does.

Also, a massive battery boost compared to stock. It seemed I was losing 1% per minute before and it was annoying at hell. Not I see that at 50% battery, estimated remaining screen time is that of 100% on stock.

Thank you so much 😄
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Cyde042:
For some reason, my wi-fi wouldn't work at all after flashing. I downloaded the ROM again and used Pixel flasher to just reflash it and then it worked.
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] samkureel:
Hi All,

I am currently using the Pixel Experience Plus ROM (A13). I am interested in installing the Evolution X ROM (A14), but I noticed some instructions in the steps

" 5. Flash boot.img, dtbo.img, vendor_boot.img and make sure you're on latest A14 firmware."

So is there any other steps I need to follow to get to A14 firmware, or just follow the steps as-is?
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] T3chDelicious:
You need to clean flash the latest official A14 firmware for your P5 first (especially if you're on a other custom rom) if you're still on A13. You can get it here.

Flashing the provided boot, dtbo and vendor images alone doesn't bring you to A14.

The always on display function always automatically turns off and I don't understand why, can U fix this?
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Sannoob3144:
In my case, the proximity sensor on my Pixel died, and the Always On Display (AOD) may be mistakenly detecting the phone as being in my pocket, causing it to automatically turn off.
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] dungx9002:
The proximity sensor works normally on my phone, I think it's due to a bug in the ROM
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Cyde042:

Just a question: does data mobile during calls (while you're on 4g) works for everyone?

I'm using LineageOs 21 and data mobile while calling in 4g doesn't work, while, when I'm on 5g, it works. Don't remember if it was working while on 4g with stock rom, so I'm thinking to this rom to see if it works.

Thanks!
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] badapple420:
Seems to be working fine for me tested both 4G & 5G able to search the Internet while on the phone verified
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] MrTheyes:
ah right, i was thinking tall that but i needed clarification, if per se i did want to lock the bootloader, would i have to build my own rom as said in the lineageOs guide, somewhere, or is there just a guide or something i can follow cause im in quite the purgatory in whether i wanna flash a crom or stick with stock
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Chickenkillla81:
I believe lineage can be locked. I am not 💯 on that though. But I think they sign theirs so it's possible. Again, I'm not sure though.

I'm running lineage 21 with root and using the PIF NEXT module and pass integrity checks for banking. That might be your best option. I do recall seeing a module (by chitermon) to spoof that your boot loader is locked. I have not used it though. I am happy with just basic integrity passing. Can I ask why you want BL locked? Just preference? Or are you having problems?

Edit: looked at your original post. Banking. 😁 you could try the spoofing module for BL. I think it was an Lsposed module. When I get home tonight I'll double check and see if I can find it again
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] MrTheyes:
Yeah santander is pretty harsh on their checks despite being british, but i flashed essence on my OP5 and signed in so i guess it should be fine, either way ill just flash it and see whats up because i need some spice in my life
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Chickenkillla81:
@MrTheyes

Here is the module I spoke of sir

Release v3.8 · chiteroman/BootloaderSpoofer

Spoof locked bootloader on local attestations. Contribute to chiteroman/BootloaderSpoofer development by creating an account on GitHub.

github.com

I did read that it only works for local checks. So if it sends it to a private server it won't work and it says not to add any of the Google stuff to it or it will fail. I'm guessing just add your banking app and hope it doesn't send it anywhere. I don't understand exactly what that means personally. It's over my head. 😂
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] HoneyWhiteCloud:
I found that the camera on my phone seems to fail intermittently (probably after being turned on and not used for a long time), including facial recognition and the camera. However, every time I encounter such situations, I restart my phone and the camera and facial recognition can function normally.

I think this may be a problem with the ROM, because when I use the original ROM, there won't be such a problem

Do OTA updates ALSO update the accessory images like boot, dtbo, and vendor_boot?

I know it does the boot partition, cause if I forget to patch it with the Magisk appp I lose root, but what about the other two?
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Chickenkillla81:
I think it does. I did an OTA from settings and everything seemed like it was done. I don't know 💯 but everything works great

Unfortunately, I decided to hand over my Pixel 5 and upgrade to the Pixel 4XL. Without a doubt, the 4XL feels more premium and does not come with sensor flaws like many Pixel 5. Although the latter has a better design on the front, it still does not surpass the Pixel 4XL.

thanks

- we cannot remove the google search bar and the weather on the home screen?

- circle and search is provided on this model?

edit : i lock the bootloader and the phone doesn't boot!

unlock it and boot ok!

should I leave it unlocked?

during flash i had a problem, i had to flash boot vendor and dtbo boot_a

in fact I flashed everything on boot a, what is boot b for? Did I miss a step?

thanks a lot
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Dsujan:
Can anyone confirm whether eSim works fine in this rom or not? Also, how is the battery backup & battery draining condition in this rom?
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Chickenkillla81:
The b is the second partition. When you take an OTA update it will update to the partition not in use. Ie... Partition b if you are currently using a, or vise versa. It's how they do the seamless updates. That way the partition you are using is not affected by the update process. After you take the update, the next reboot will automatically boot to the partition you were not using that got the update. For future you can use the-- flash all command instead of boot_a or b command and it will flash both slots a&b. It isn't really necessary but you can.

For the locking bootloader, yes you do need it to be unlocked for a custom ROM. There are exceptions to this if the ROM is officially signed. But it shouldn't really make any difference other than the screen when booting saying it's unlocked. As long as you do not disable dm-verity (I think that's what it's called) your system should be perfectly safe. Of course that's if you use proper phone lock screen protection. But if someone gets passed that it's not going to matter if the bootloader is unlocked. As they would obviously have access to your phone already. 😂

And lastly I don't believe circle to search is on the redfin. I'm not 💯 on that so don't quote me.

I found battery to be quite good. Smooth running ROM.
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Chickenkillla81:
I'm so sorry. It was not verity I was thinking of. It is there selinux. You should never have to set that to 0.

Let me reinforce this point: setting SELinux to permissive is literally nuking a SIGNIFICANT portion of modern Android's security. This is absolutely not analogous to rooting with proper implementations, taking Magisk as an example."
