I have some apps from the Philippines that don't load/open. Any idea how to fix this?
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] Revontheus:
Correct. You install recovery in ramdisk so it persists even through reboots. Also, do not forget to install the latest firmware for your device before flashing the ROM. Roughly, your flashing process should be:

Install TWRP, and install it permanently in Ramdisk

Flash Latest Device Firmware

Format Data

Flash ROM

(Optional) Flash Magisk or KernelSU for Root Access

Reboot

What apps are you referring to?
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] lemmy_0:
BPI banking app, Gcash as well.

Unionbank app works
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] Revontheus:
Banking apps not working/opening are usually due to device integrity failing (aka system is showing up as rooted/modified). Install this application, and run it. It should show this. Also, are you rooted or not? And which root application are you using if any.
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] lemmy_0:
Unable to test yet.

But I am not rooted.
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] Revontheus:
Okay. If you aren't rooted, are you using the latest version of EvoX? If not, update to the latest version. Also, GCash won't work if you have Developer Options turned on. And if you haven't, I highly recommend joining the EvoX Telegram Group. It's easier to get realtime support and tips from other users (also from the Philippines) in there, as long as notifications for ROM updates and whatnot.
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] lemmy_0:
I am aware of the Developer Options limitation and I don't have it enabled. Also just flashed the latest Evo X version, to no avail
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] Revontheus:
When opening the app, does it say your system is compromised/rooted/jailbroken? Or does it simply just refuse to open?
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] lemmy_0:
It just hangs and nothing happens
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] laur89:
Thank you for replying. These steps match my notes.

1. where to source the bootable twrp image? The one linked at post #1 and in telegram group all refer to REC image, which is to be used with "fastboot flash", not "fastboot boot" commands, unless I'm mistaken.

2. regarding device firmware, I'm on stock MIUI 14.0.9.0 TMREUXM - this means it's EU version and Europe region firmware should be selected from https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/firmware/marble/. Yet on #Announcements Telegram channel the latest message instructs to "avoid flashing /-/ Android 14 firmware". What does it mean to me, given I'm on EU version of the phone?
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] joeyhuab:
Use Android 13 EU firmware. That's what it means.

[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] laur89:
Magisk installation documentation instructs us to patch the boot.img file extracted from the rom zip. However extracted zip doesn't contain any img files:

How to proceed with magisk installation, as boot image needs to be patched? Note flashing magisk image is deprecated and not recommended.
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] joeyhuab:
Just flash Magisk apk in recovery and install Magisk APK upon reboot.
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] joeyhuab:
No. Pixels only.
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] joeyhuab:
Already explained. Restart SystemUI or rotate to landscape.
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] MihalikP:
Will it be added in the future? I mean it is possible to enable it with root, but it would be nice to have it natively.
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] joeyhuab:
If you can find a way to do so, then let me know. No other ROMs have been able to do so since even Android 11.
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] xda163fm:
I know these are basic questions but if anyone is able to help someone gain a bit of confidence in the process and who hasn't had a new phone for 5+ years so is a bit rusty.........

1. Do you need to use special USB Drivers for Mi Unlock tool to work correctly or can I use the ones at https://developer.android.com/studio/run/win-usb?

2. Once I have started the unlock process can I switch off the F5 phone, remove the SIM card and put the SIM back in my old phone whilst I wait for 7 days or does that break the unlocking process?

3. Is the TWRP file linked here downloadable from XDA not Telegram https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-14-0_r17-marble-official-evolution-x-12-29-23.4640655/post-89216994 from a trusted source and the latest file? SHA1: ce1ff03971d95e1e1d7bcc4ea40edf4ec73441c8

4. Does the original post give the latest information on installing TWRP correctly, permanently and to both slots? Using the "fastboot boot" method recently mentioned in the thread is not possible as the TWRP file provided is the rec version that requires "fastboot flash"?

5. If you donate by Ko-fi is it anonymous so no name/email is shared with who you are supporting apart from the Ko-fi user name?

Thanks
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] laur89:
Sounds like you're in a similar boat I was in couple of days back. Take my answers with a grain of salt, but it's to best of my knowledge:

1. maybe just try and see whether it works? I did the unlock in a windows VM as don't have access to a native windows machine. What I did was download xiaomi unlock tool; when you run it, it mentions a new version is available - download it. That one contains driver/ directory that worked for me.

2. haven't tried, but I've read taking the SIM out would restart the timer. You could wait an hour and try removing it and see if the counter resets. That way you won't lose more than couple of hours. I personally would just wait it out.

3. why not download it from the telegram though, as the channel is ran by evox maintainer anyways? Note there's also this thread linked at the first page. In the end the TWRP images all feel inherently fishy to me. We just have to choose to trust specific sources.

4. 'fastboot boot' would work with the BOOT versions found in the thread linked on point #3. That's what I used. However note after you flash ROM then recovery (i.e. twrp) won't be able to read the storage anymore. To solve that you'll still need to use the linked twrp14 as said by the maintainer. So if I had to do it all over again, I'd avoid the BOOT version altogether.
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] lemmy_0:
can anyone help in making these apps work? these are the only show-stoppers for me:

[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] adeklipse:
boot.img is in the payload.bin file.

Use Payload Dumper to dump the contents, and the boot.img should be the first to appear.
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] adeklipse:
1. IIRC, the Mi Unlock Tool will install the necessary drivers for unlocking the phone.

2. I don't really know, sorry. But it should though, since the timekeeping is done on Xiaomi servers. I did use my device without a SIM throughout the waiting process, and only put it in when I wanted to unlock.

3. I used that image myself.

4. FWIW, I extracted the .img file from the .zip file provided, and went fastboot boot [filename].img for the first time I did it. Of course, that didn't install the TWRP, so I went did fastboot flash recovery [filename].img after I set up my phone with Evo X.

5. I have no idea, honestly.
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] jdsanchez82:
I had the same problem with this rom a few weeks ago. Both apps just freeze on the initial screen and are unresponsive on A14 EvoX.

What I did to fix the issue was I just flashed the latest Android 13 version of EvolutionX. Both apps work on that version.
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] lemmy_0:
sad.

would dirty flashing the A13 version work over this? or do I need to wipe?
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] jdsanchez82:
It's usually recommended to do a clean wipe when switching between android versions, so that's what I did.
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] lemmy_0:
bummer but ok thanks. will use the a13 version then. hopefully gets fixed in a14
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] jdsanchez82:
Me too since these 2 apps are the only ones I need working. I'll probably wait for a few months before trying out the A14 rom again. Hope using the A13 ROM works for you!
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] lemmy_0:
It did work. all apps are working now. Hopefully the same goes in A14 in the future. If you ever get to test a working A14 build, please do share. Thanks again

Developer, is the reception number error fixed? Is it fixed that the reception number and my number are visible at the same time when answering the phone?
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] jaslyn8:
Both apps works on me by flashing anykernel3 and installing KSU (same method on previous A14 buids) . I'm on build 1219. Haven't tried on the lastest update.
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] joeyhuab:
Been saying the same thing in the telegram group over and over. Install KSU.
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] jdsanchez82:
Which version should be installed? I downloaded a build from https://github.com/tiann/KernelSU/releases/tag/v0.7.1 and tried flashing AnyKernel3-android14-6.1.25_2023-10 a few weeks ago and EvoX 14 got stuck in a boot loop. I just gave up and went back to the A13 version.

If flashing this module is a requirement for some important apps to work, there should be some public documentation somewhere (that isn't on Telegram) instead of just saying "just install KSU" every time someone brings it up. Some useful info for people who are unfamiliar with KSU (like myself) and what it does would be:

Which version to flash, and where to download it?

Should it be flashed before or after the ROM?

Why isn't it already baked into the ROM if it's so important for some banking apps to work?
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] joeyhuab:
The 2 notes in the telegram channel specifically shows which to install.

KSU zip: https://github.com/tiann/KernelSU/releases/download/v0.7.2/AnyKernel3-android12-5.10.185_2023-09.zip

KSU app: https://github.com/tiann/KernelSU/releases/download/v0.7.2/KernelSU_v0.7.2_11413-release.apk

You can also use the updated Silvercore kernel with KSU pre-included: https://github.com/karthick-kk/andr...ercore-gki-marble-unofficial-20231231-ksu.zip
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] joeyhuab:
My issue with you requesting documentation is KSU isn't part of the ROM. Therefore, I'm not obliged to include it with any instructions in the thread. Same goes for any other apps needing some hack to make them work.

I eventually got around to trying out KSU with the latest A14 build today. I've installed the Silvercore kernel and the KSU app, but both the BPI and GCash apps still don't work properly.

Is there anything else that needs to be configured in the KSU app for these two to work? I've also tried installing the latest Play Integrity Fix module (v15.1) in KSU, but it still didn't fix the issue.
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] Feras766:
You don't need play integrity fix module in A14 build it's included in the System

Have you tried flashing zygisk next and shamiko ??
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] jdsanchez82:
I'm assuming zygisk next and shamiko are both KernelSU modules? No, I haven't tried either yet. Will try them now to see if the apps work with them installed.
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] jdsanchez82:
Just flashed both zygisk next and shamiko via the KSU app and removed the PlayIntegrityFix module from the KSU app module list, still no luck with getting the two apps to work.

We sent money to YOU, not some other guy. We used the official build, not some Naruto420 one.

So come on.

This just looks like a weak ahh excuse to take the money and run. Man, I can't even describe my disappointment in you AS A PERSON.

Like who does this?

Sure, you are free to do a build, a ROM, whatever. But promising some big project, asking for donations, having Ko-Fi and then pulling this?

Shame on you my dude.

I hope no company and person will ever put faith in you because you sure as hell don't deserve it.
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] joeyhuab:
Sorry but your gaslighting won't work here. I do agree with you with one thing, YOU DID DONATE TO ME. So why is another guy trying to take credit for the efforts I've done? How is that fair? How is another guy gonna release new security patches before me? Such a disrespectful showing. This isn't about donations or money. If you will allow another guy to release besides me, what good is my effort? What good do I get from wasting several test builds only for another guy to take all the changes I've tested into his own? You won't understand at all until you're in my position. All you can think of is being the consumer, being the user.
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] h8Aramex:
Gaslighting how, lmao?

We used OFFICIAL rom. We donated to OFFICIAL ROM. We did not care about any other builds.

Yes, I saw an 'unofficial' build pop-up on Telegram. I was a bit confused. And I asked what is this, what happened to official? Then everyone said it's not official and people should wait for the official build. That was all.

Never seen people take credit for the ROM, or say some other guy was doing all the work. That just never happened. If this was like the ublock drama where some guy swooped in and tried to claim all the fame and get donations, that'd be understandable. But that just did not happen. People backed up this build.

Also it's open-source, anyone can make builds. If I made a build with some changes, just for fun, what would change? Nothing.

So this all just feels weak excuse.

Just please save your name and don't do another rug pull project, or really, any kind of project, because this sure won't reflect great upon your reputation.
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] joeyhuab:
Because unofficial builds alongside official ones are discouraged as they cause confusion in the community. Users report unofficial build issues in official group. Tired of seeing my users become confused because of the unofficial build. Don't worry. A poll will decide the future of the ROM.
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] dsa8310:
I don't know what has happened, but I would suggest that Evolution X should stick to their general main goals and ignore all disrespectful posts (intentional, surreptitious, or by mistake) because it is their contribution/legacy that matters. And it's a valuable contribution, undoubtedly.

I, for one, liked very much having Evolution X on all my phones, over time...
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] fpozar:
In my opinion, us users donate as a thanks for all the previous work and as a support for further work. There is no contract, no promises, just good will from us and from the dev.

The dev has the right to stop the support at any moment without any explanation, obviously.

BUT, in my opinion, some reasons are more valid than others.

For example, I don't see why @joeyhuab you are stopping the development at the very first time some unofficial build showed up. I bet if you asked in the OP and in telegram for people to stop claiming your work, others would comply.

But even if they do not, you are developing open source projects, everyone has a right to branch out. I don't see why you are so offended since the person is not making money or internet fame off your work and no one really cares about unofficial builds, I see it only as a way to flash a rom that someone has installed spyware into.

So in conclusion, I think that @h8Aramex is way too aggressive, but also our dev @joeyhuab maybe got a bit too excesively offended. I'm sure this can be resolved by words instead of doing a harsh thing as terminating all work...
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] fpozar:
I think the vast majority of users would never even consider the unofficial build with new security patches. It does not add any meaningful development and is a way to get an unsafe software.

I'm sorry you are upset but I think you might realize that the situation might be less infuriating than it seemed to you at first. Good luck in any case.
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] joeyhuab:
We're already deciding via a poll. The users will choose who will continue the ROM for this device. I'm just upset that someone can easily try to outshine the official build by releasing new stuff before it.
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] danitco:
Whatever the result will be, @joeyhuab, thanks for your effort to be one of the first to bring A14 to the F5 the same year of its landing. Work like yours makes this device world bigger.
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] Tech_Expert:
the official build was never outshone in our eyes :)

thank you for your work as always.

this being open source software, it's normal for people to make a spin on it — i don't know why that dev did that, but as long as they didn't take credit for it, you shouldn't have had to worry so much.
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] joeyhuab:
The ROM will continue as is. However we are no longer allowing unofficial builds to be published publicly. Especially if it doesn't even have much difference from the official build.
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] d7F=Dtcddt/:
thanks @joeyhuab for your hard work, besides I want to say:

Developers are totally with passion for opensource project, not the money, otherwise they would have no problem getting a well-paid job with the developer's abilities.

Besides, donations are just a user's way of recognizing the developer, and it doesn't come with privileges either

Anyone have the versions of august and or september?

I cant open the shell box app from google play with a14 or last versions of A13 (october and november)
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] TheUnknownThing:
I recently got a Poco F5 myself and have been loving it but as many of you know, MIUI isn't the greatest Android experience due to the bloatware.

After hearing about HyperOS making it harder to unlock the BL, I unlocked my F5 and flashed EvolutionX (A14) and have been loving it!

In the past, custom ROMs have been a bit spotty on my devices (used to own a Xiaomi RN5 and RN8 prior to this) but this has got to be the most stable ROM by far in my short amount of testing.

I have set up Google Pay but have yet to test it, but I don't doubt that it'll work!

Now I've got a budget Pixel 8 Pro 😎

Thank you @joeyhuab for creating and maintaining this masterpiece of a ROM. I'll be donating for sure. You made me fall in love with Android again. Cheers!
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] joeyhuab:

Also for those wondering, I can confirm Google Pay is working well (tested 11 Jan 24).

It's probably better than MIUI because you can get to Google Wallet much quicker thanks to back-tap and lock-screen shortcuts. Battery life is also very good from my limited experience.

One small thing I noticed when charging the phone, the estimate seems to be way off (e.g. the ETA till full), typically it shows it being 3+ days for some strange reason but it charges at normal/expected rate, just the ETA is off. It's not a big deal IMO but something that can be ironed out.

And if you need screenshots + steps to replicate, I can happily supply them. :)
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] fpozar:
Please @joeyhuab can you comment on this?

Screenshots in the post im quoting.
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] joeyhuab:
Requires these modules. Check attachment.

Normal issue that will be resolved in the next update afaik.

1. That's not a bug. That's A14 behavior.

2. No.
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] TheUnknownThing:
Hey guys, got another minor bug to report.

I noticed with Leica Camera, when you tap on the gallery icon (bottom left), it won't load (freezes for a moment and blurs, then doesn't load).

Steps to replicate:

1. Open camera on latest EvoX build

2. Take any photo (if there isn't one in gallery already)

3. Tap on the gallery (bottom left icon)

4. It should load Google Photos, but it doesn't.

Thought I'd share it, it's something I can replicate, maybe y'all can too? Apologies if it is a duplicate but report.

Aside from that, I'm enjoying the ROM. :)
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] TheUnknownThing:
Actually, please disregard! I managed to "fix" it by simply enabling an option! :D

For those that may encounter the same problem, simply open the Leica camera settings and ensure "Google Photos as default gallery" is enabled. Screenshot attached for reference. All is well!
