On the last 2 versions, bluetooth keeps rebooting if you turn it on. Am I the only one who has the error? If it manages to connect to the saved device in the same second, it works as it should.
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] wolfchild333:
no problem with Bluetooth I am on lastest build if it keeps going off check Bluetooth timeout , open Bluetooth settings and check what you have selected under Bluetooth timeout it might be set at 15 seconds ... I have it on 5 minutes and have no problems
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] wolfchild333:
My vote is for keeping Evolution X on our Sony phones elixir is a good ROM but not as good as Evolution X (kernelSU , frequent updates and customization are simply unmatched) I use elixir ROM on a old redmi5 plus global and it's a nice ROM but miss everything that EvoX offers on my main Sony phone Just my opinion of course... Appreciate you asking us about it 👍🏻
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Captain_cookie_200:
dw guys we are staying on evo. I wana consider official but im banned on tele and i cant contact any one of evoX's team. just so we could ota support yk :) I tried doing custom OTA URL but that didnt work soooo
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] wolfchild333:
I feel your pain Telegram sucks for that I had my phone number for like 10+ years I registered for telegram all fine and dandy but first time I joined a group and tried to write a question I was told my number was banned ... wrote to the stupid chat bot several times to get unbanned as I never did anything wrong but to this day I am still banned without any explanation..... go figure ... meanwhile users that really spam and abuse are still able to do so....
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Captain_cookie_200:
so real 😔
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Captain_cookie_200:
Welp guys time to switch to another rom
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] 0xside:
crdroid yes sir :D
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Captain_cookie_200:
nah it already exists i think. Im thinking elixir is our next option. or derpfest. YAAP is also a cool rom but it wont build without issues so i wont touch that :)
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] 0xside:
can't see any crdroid rom for pdx206 but nvm.

i voted Derpfest.
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Captain_cookie_200:
nvm doing crdroid rn les see how it goes
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] 2faraway2:
I also would vote for crDroid then !!!

Let's see how the other developers progress is ... ;)
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Captain_cookie_200:
Great building so far

Also evolution-X is back already lol
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] 2faraway2:
These are 2 good news .. ;)
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Captain_cookie_200:
the thing is i wanted to leave evo behind anw chz i want a non pixel rom. i chose evo cuz they update fast. but since its more unstable than my own life i'd rather switch to a rom that updates slower but is a lot more stable
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] majorwedgy:
what makes you say it is unstable? Running the 5/2/24 build and not had a single freeze, crash or anything else. Not had the courage to go for the latest build since this is so stable!
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Captain_cookie_200:
not in that way. i meant as in the current scenario with the lead dev. I would rather have a rom because Evox might be back now it might not someday later after he finally decides to quit. considering i dont have too much time for building i would rather build something that will remain for a longer period of time. sounds silly but i like to stay on the safer side

An update on this. I stopped building because i received a message from elixir's team members. I know you guys were rooting for derpfest anf crdroid but this is the best chance i have for being official and getting you guys OTA support. I am restricted on telegram and evolutionX team already rejected me for my trees being too premature and my profile too? Well i understand for the profile part but whats up with the tree?.

Either way. This is the path i look forward to. And i hope you guys support me in this. I would keep providing as frequent updates as i can to keep you all on the same experience.

You guys may lose out on customization and kernelsu but it's not that critical i promise it'll be a good experience. thankyou
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] majorwedgy:
Cheers matey , appreciate all your efforts
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] wolfchild333:
wow this sucks big time hate this fricking self entitled morons ruining a good thing for everyone ☹️
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] wolfchild333:
I honestly appreciate all your work and efforts for the awesome Evolution ROM you gave us on our sony devices. Whatever ROM you decide to go with I'm sure you will do a great job with it and too bad about evo not giving you official status that honestly baffles me...anyway I have this rom all set the way I want it and works great for me so I will stick with it for the foreseeable future even with no more updates customization and kernelSU are my main reasons to stick with this as well as not having to deal with migrate all my data to another ROM and having to go back to deal with patching boot images and modules that can brick / make me lose data and time . All the best I will still stick around and if in future you return to this rom I will gladly update cheers Mate and a billion thanks for this Rom 👍🏻
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Captain_cookie_200:
do give elixir a tru when u can. will get it released asap
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] 0xside:
gl with new build , btw can i have old tree/vendor/kernel , since u switch to elixir i want to make smth.

edit: nvm i have it , ty.
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] wolfchild333:
Maybe I will in a few months when I get some vacation time right now I use my Sony phone as my main daily driver for my IT job 😅 so I kind of need to keep as is on evolutionX and kernelSu is my choice of root I tried apatch and used magisk for a long while in the past but they are simply not comparable to KernelSU IMHO and look for a ROM that includes kernelSU as a option. I see that Evo is back in biz hopefully will stay open and if you can make a new evo build every now and then, when and if you have time that would be awesome and I'm sure deeply appreciated by those like me that love this ROM customization and kernelSu. I know not easy to maintain 2 Roms but I would be extremely happy even with a build every 6 months or so 🍻 cheers and thanks again for all your hard work I truly appreciate everything you've done for us 🙏
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] King081:
Hey, why not join our Xperia Telegram and provide your roms there and have better support https://t.me/SonyXperiaChat
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Captain_cookie_200:
im restricted from telegram. I am already there. i cannot chat until i have perms

thankyou ****ty telegram moderation :)

my username is ahnet_h

or ahnet_sh
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Captain_cookie_200:
i'll try my best to provide updates if its still in my possibility. i have upcoming exams and etc.
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] King081:
Ah I see, if I make you an admin might possibly unrestrict you in that group
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] wolfchild333:
yes that would be awesome and no worries I completely understand school exams and enjoying life and downtime etc come first always 👍 that's why I wrote when and if you can.... even a update every six months or more is just fine after all you gave us 2 new iterations of android that we would have never gotten from sony breathing new life in these awesome hardware devices and allowing us to use them for many more years to come 🙏 all the best and thank you again 🍻
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] wolfchild333:
yeah that sadly didn't work when I tried a couple years ago... telegram is totally wacko for that sadly if you're unlucky to get banned without reason it's a lifetime ban with no appeal... go figure....
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] King081:
Don't worry it worked lol
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] King081:
He's able to provide support in TG now

Звуковой модуль NLSound вызывает полный отвал sim-карты😑
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Captain_cookie_200:
the wha
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] BerBery4:
На других прошивках такого небывало, хотя я всегда устанавливал NLSound через Magisk а не через KernelSU, возможно в этом причина. В любом случае при установленном модуле смартфон не видит сим-карту, после удаления модуля сим-карта возвращается
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Captain_cookie_200:
weird to see that it might be messing with RIL. yeah maybe kernel su compatibility issue
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] wolfchild333:
no way lol maybe they changed it right on ! great news wonder if he can post in other groups now or only that one
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Captain_cookie_200:
only that one. they promoted me there. I cant speak in public group unless i have perms

both of my accounts are banned to an extent where i cant even promote admins in my owned groups. like wtf telegram? what did i do????
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] wolfchild333:
ah OK I was wondering about that yeah same here my number has been mine and not a VOIP number since the beginning of time even before telegram started getting traction.... WhatsApp had just started and was still a yearly subscription of 99c I registered for telegram none of my devices has ever been compromised or spoofed and used telegram for a while and when I decided to join a group and ask a question I was told I was banned ...like WFT ...and of course chat bot was completely useless... if it wasn't a legacy number I would have changed it but since it is no way I'm giving it up for idiotic telegram random ban with no appeal...
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] wolfchild333:
sad to see the discontinued next to this great ROM thread hoping someone will eventually pick it up and bring it back to life cheers to everyone
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] wolfchild333:
are you thinking of maintaining this rom by any chance ?
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Nezhdan:

Watch out! A newer version driver will give you a black screen
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Captain_cookie_200:
damn thats an amazing score.. Where did you get the newer driver from?
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Nezhdan:
https://tryigit.dev/snapdragon-drivers/

I've been taking it from here for a long time. Quite versatile
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Captain_cookie_200:
looks sketchy ngl. I got xperia 5 II few months ago. this is actually my first qcom device. Are the drivers generic for all Soc's with Adreno 650?

Also where are these drivers being sourced from? Might just have it device tree side if we face no issues?
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Nezhdan:
Yes, as far as I understand, each version of adreno has its own drivers, they are quite versatile. Most often, their use is limited only by the android version

But the latest version of the drivers in the link above didn't fit any device (the ones I've had) with the adreno 650. Versions from 744. 12 and below worked well

Unfortunately, I don't understand much more about their development. It seems to be based on updates from qualcom, but adapted for magisk
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Captain_cookie_200:
ah well i learned that the hard way and broke my display. got it to work again
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] wolfchild333:
I wouldn't trust getting drivers from that site too many ads redirect and sketchy stuff, Qualcomm allows you to replace and use different drivers and open video drivers unlike mediatek, this can be done in apps with no risks for your device ( black screen) or via magisk.

to test which drivers work best for your device you can test them in any emulator that support picking different drivers (vita/strato/yuzu) if any driver don't work there (black screen crash artifacts) you move on to the next driver see which one works best on your phone.

Releases · K11MCH1/AdrenoToolsDrivers

A repository for Skyline, Vita3K and Yuzu Android compatible Adreno drivers. - K11MCH1/AdrenoToolsDrivers

github.com

here you can find all drivers with notes and system they were tested on ( not that sketchy crappy site ) hope this helps cheers.
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] wolfchild333:
site I linked will tell you what GPU they are for they could be 5xx, 6xx generation for example or 7xx etc obviously you can't use drivers for a different GPU series on your device ex. on our 6xx GPU can't put 7xx GPU drivers if you do use at your own risk... almost all Qualcomm specific drivers have been extracted from a variety of different devices.
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Captain_cookie_200:
Although the link the guy listed before had v744.12 I flashed it and it works. even tho the release say its only for adreno 750 so ig it works in some cases?
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Nezhdan:
There's the first site also listed compatibility, the adreno 650 was on the list, otherwise I wouldn't have put it :)
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] wolfchild333:
Newer drivers meant for a different newer GPU may work but they can also cause other issues and break other things that are not apparent right away YMMV ..... that's why I said use at your own risk and suggested trying those drives risk free in emulators before flashing them in your phone ( saves you time and headaches of disabling modules to get your display working again 😉) having said that if no side effects or issues with them you can look and see it you can bake them directly into the rom
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Captain_cookie_200:
currently using 744.12 might just swap it later if no issues are found
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] wolfchild333:
I miss spoke my bad , I meant to say you shouldn't use drivers for a different GPU series on your device if you do use at your own risk 🙏

some earlier drivers of a next gen GPU should work ok because they're normally still built for the most part on the foundation of the previous GPU with some small iteration improvement but that's not always the case👍🏻
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Captain_cookie_200:
yea i understand. Thankyou for your responses
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] wolfchild333:
awesome news, too bad elisir doesn't allow for you to add kernelSU to the ROM .......

for the camera button you can look at the magisk module made for xperia 5 III that remaps google button to launch the Camera, As a alternative button remapper app might be another alternative. happy I am on evoX and don't have to deal with that 😁
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Captain_cookie_200:
kernelsu will be w nogo because official wont allow that. Although for camera button i need time to dig commits and ask the team to implement it
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] wolfchild333:
yeah not sure why they are so opposed to it generally people that use custom ROM are not your average noobs / clueless users and know the security risk associated with it and could decide for themselves. I wonder if they would be OK with a device maintainer like yourself to offer a unofficial kernelSU kernel that user can choose to download and flash manually for themselves obviously with no support for issues or bugs report that can arise and things that can break from using the non official kernel
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Captain_cookie_200:
one issue found so far is that none of 3 camera apps show preview of cameras when the custom gpu driver is active. uninstalling it fixes it. Paronoma works. it works in third party apps. So ig its a no go
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] wolfchild333:
I figured it might have had some issues in some places, good catch, you can test out drivers listed as compatible with our GPU and see if problem persist.. they might not offer same level of performance improvements but they are more up to date and should not give troubles like those for the 7x gpu
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] wolfchild333:
no problem anytime always a pleasure helping out whenever I Can 🙂
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Nezhdan:
I'm sorry, really. There is no such problem on gcam, so the problem was missed. 725 Persists the problem?
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Captain_cookie_200:
gcam is never fully functional on xperias. So thats a no go. and photo pro and cinema pro are quite important. All drivers i tried have the same problem. Rip
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] wolfchild333:
too bad might also be related to the app being such a older version probably newer version of the sony camera app might not have the problem but no one has been able to patch them to make them work in custom ROM. I wonder if someone could make a magisk/kernelSU module for sony camera app like the Anx module for MIUI camera
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] wolfchild333:
looks like evo x fingerprint got banned, where does evo x stores the FP do you know the path I would like to modify it and use the built in FP spoof rather than playintegrity fix if possible thanks 🙃
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Captain_cookie_200:
jt

its a application. You can find it in evolver.

If you look into their telegram you can find then posting new versions of the fixed apk everytime Upon ban. so try those out
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] wolfchild333:
in I'll check it out thanks I was wondering if they had a editable FP file that was read by their app I guess not
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] wolfchild333:
I did Update back in biz for now thanks I'll try look into the app to see if I can put my own FP from my old device might last longer than these FP getting flagged and banned by Google
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] wolfchild333:
wow I finally got unbanned from telegram lol my *****ing at the BOT worked lol 10+ years later lol I can now write in groups for the first time since registering for it decades ago lol
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Captain_cookie_200:
what if i tell you guys a new build might be coming soon
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] wanwije:

NEW UPDATE!

Evolution-X 8.3 20240308

Change logs on github.

Follow the dirty flashing Instructions in OP.
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Nezhdan:
The system font has flown off. When I try to change the settings, I get an error."https://paste.evolution-x.org/0VPDr3"

Are the icons in the shutter no longer adjusted to the white balance when you turn it on? In night mode, they are cold at first, then turn white.

And I would like to adjust the size of the icons (round/square) in the curtain :)
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Captain_cookie_200:
could you give a little bit more context?
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Nezhdan:
I decided to change the language in the settings to make it clearer from the screenshots. Recommends english one two. Well, I did. As a result, there is nothing further than this :/ How to get out of it?

It doesn't let you go anywhere but reboot and shut down. I wouldn't want to erase data because of such nonsense

Opening the settings gives a white screen :/

If this can be solved with an update, waiting is not a problem.
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Nezhdan:
These icons. Now, in night mode, they are initially adjusted to normal mode and warm up after being turned on, initially being colder. Unfortunately it is not yet moou to show this on video, I will try to switch the language via adb (upd. Not result).

This is where you can't steal the system font anymore. Can't come in here
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Captain_cookie_200:
oh boy wtf did u change

it might be a source issue since evoX is preparing for qpr2. (on a seperate branch) Although looks like Systemui is dead. data reset might be rhe only way for now. qpr2 may take weeks or days
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Nezhdan:
Oh. Okay, I'll put it overnight to recover, it's good that it's a backup phone :)
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Captain_cookie_200:
Guys i have tried 2 times for official. These idiots will not accept me. I am done with official and evoX core team. So no official :)
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] wolfchild333:
yeah they're f'in morons ... too high and mighty forgot what the important things are oh well their loss f'em and love your reply straight to the point 💪🏻 I'm extremely happy with your unofficial Evo X won't miss OTA update one bit ...keep up the great work and thanks for all the work you put into this 🍻
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Captain_cookie_200:
next build will have fixed dolby decoders (if you use apple music/tidal this should allow you to play dolby atmos music)
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] wolfchild333:
awesome 👍🏻🙏🏻💪🏻
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Captain_cookie_200:
also updated photo pro and fixed portrait. Although you may need to setup everything in the apps since they have changed package names

just flashed it , portrait selfie is missing from under more but shows installed in apps , checked package is missing all permission updated with patched selfie app from XDA portrait selfie icon is back under more but crashes upon launching. good thing I backed up previous version along with previous photo pro app installed those since new one have diff package names and portrait selfie works under old app
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Captain_cookie_200:
huh 🗿🗿 im using it and it works fine in both photo pro and camera ui
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] wolfchild333:
never mind I fixed it , I accidentally left an old photo pro app with a different package name when I was testing and was accidentally using that one my bad 😅
