I just tested 9.2 version, for now works really good and it do have an better RAM management, very nice, the only sad thing is that there are no EvolutionX Launcher updates anymore, but still it's an good ROM

Latest available EvoX Launcher do work for this ROM but sadly, Wallpapers and Styles apps doesn't work for it, but i will still test an old launcher version and tell people if it works on this EvolutionX version

What build do you recomend? My stock cam app works well but I'm interested.

I believe Tejas has already crossed out that alternative launcher thus he's aware that launcher still has some issues.

I've been using firmware v.9.2 for a month now

I would like to say a huge thank you to @tejas101k (http://github.com/tejas101k) for her work in this project - Evolution. Everything turned out just great and

the same long-awaited NFC (which many simply could not tame), and scrolling is a miracle - very impressive - it works as if you were holding a flagship with 120 Hz in your hands - soft, smooth. Not many can offer such details in their firmware, and for different phone models. A lot has been tried, but this masterpiece is impressive. Once again thank you very much for your work - @tejas101k. Wishing you further creative success

आपका बहुत-बहुत धन्यवाद

Hi,

I will install this ROM from TWRP from MIUI (this is my first ROM). Parents' phone, so after uploading the ROM, I will only update it cyclically while visiting them. What version of TWRP should I upload, which will be universal and from the latest sources? The threads refer to 3 versions of TWRP:

1. From Orangefox /Status: Stable Version: R12.1 Release Date: 29/12/2023 Maintainer: Tejas/ (with the support of dynamic partitions and without, yes?)

2. Official version TWRP (TWRP-3.7.1_12-0-GINKGO.IMG/64M // 2024-02-18 08:55:10 UTC)

3. TWRP recovery version given in the thread about ROM Pixelos https://sourceforge.net/projects/win-abs/files/ginkgo/teamwin Recovery/recovery_fbev2.img/download

P.S. Which photo application will be the best built in ROM or GCAM, what compilation?

[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Jatin Verma x821:
I'm surprised by the performance of this rom. First a14 builds are exactly how a13 were initially. The rom is really smooth, even better than a13 roms we were using. The zooming clock have no lags at all. The animation is fluid everytime. I hope a14 scene stays smooth like this and does not get heavier like a13 did with updates. So far, haven't found a single bug in my 24 hours normal usage. Only one thing I did not like: touching fp causes vibration even when I'm using the phone. Other than that, everything works fine. There's a bug with wall and styles app, but it works fine when using default clock style, so it's no big deal. Also the apps reload consistently, but I guess that's expected as we're just getting started with a14.

Tejas, I really appreciate your consistent work towards evolution, and your dedication to keep it stable. Good luck 👍

You didn't format data after flashing the rom
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] texaveryfun:
I've done a clean flash on WILLOW with format data after the installation.

I was at home with WIFI, everything was OK. I reinstall all apps, configure everything and was very satisfied with this ROM.

The day after, when I went outside, no LTE Data at all.

I reboot the phone, LTE Data was available during few minutes and disappear. Impossible to get any data from the LTE network.

APN settings were OK.

I'm in France with FREE provider.

I was able to make phone call without any issue.

As I flash it with TWRP I thought this was the reason.

On this thread, I found the correct version of Orangefox to install.

I redo a clean flash, same issue happened.

LTE is working only few minutes after reboot and nothing.

When I flash an other A13 ROM, LTE issue still continue.

I add to flash original XIAOMI ROM with Miflash, in order to get working LTE network.

[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] TomJuri:
I've noticed some weird issue in Supercell games like clash Royale and Clash of Clans. After locking the phone or restarting the game I have to click buttons twice for them to actually get clicked. If I click once, the button seems to be pressed down and if I click again it clicks as normal, I could click anywhere though and it would release the button I clicked with the first click. Only seems to happen in Supercell games, maybe something with their game engine in combination with the rom 🤔 Was also happening in the first version you released.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] lefteriskmail:
Yes, I always format data before every rom I install, so I don't have problems (except now ... )

Ιn each installation Ι waited 4-5 minutes, it did the same thing: the screen displayed the xiaomi logo in a loop
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Factoradin:
I used Pixelos and Arrowos, both their developers have my thanks but pixelos lost attention from mainteiners since august, arrowos performance was mediocre and battery life was really bad.

with revolution x everything essential is perfect. ui is smooth, battery life is back where it should be. there are some minor problems but in time it can be fixed in time im sure.

so thanks to developers and maintainers im happy with this rom!

some problems:

-wallpaper and styles are bugged doesnt work. cant change material design color.

-old sound adjustment panel were better. this one opens slow and kind of ugly.

-cant disable "papers" app. why is it there anyway?

other than that this rom is good

I have installed this ROM, on my Xiaomi Redmi Note 8; but, fails at google account setup. Here's my steps of install:

From OrangeFox 11:

Format/wipe dalvik, cache, vendor, data

Installed Latest Official Rom: Ginkgo.Global.v12.5.2.RCOMIXM_11

Format/wipe dalvik, cache, vendor, data

Installed Latest Evolution-X ROM (231105.003)

Format/wipe Data

Installed OrangeFox 12 Unofficial (for decryption keys A12-14)

(I also have magisk26.4 installed)

Boots up and continue offline to bypass the google account... (for now) and works...

But I want working GAPPS and I cant get an account added, it constantly refreshes everytime I try to do anything at all...

I've tried installing Gapps myself after installation from multiple different sources to no avail.

Here's a video of the issue of what's happening:

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

(I've also tried deleting cache, storage of all playstore, google play services, etc... nothing changes)
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Wojtek512:
will there be a version of a14 without gapps because I would like to upload light gapps?
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] BaSs_HaXoR:
🌟*** UPDATE ***🌟

I found a working method, to workaround this Gapps bug for evolution ROM on Xiaomi redmi Note 8!

So here's what I did...

⬇️

As before (the same):

From OrangeFox 11:

Format/wipe dalvik, cache, vendor, data

Installed Latest Official Rom: Ginkgo.Global.v12.5.2.RCOMIXM_11

Format/wipe dalvik, cache, vendor, data

Installed Latest Evolution-X ROM (231105.003)

Format/wipe Data

(I also, installed "MindTheGapps-14.0.0-arm64-20231025_234300.zip --but I don't think it's required, as it didn't seem to fix the problem; but, I will note it for completeness of my procedure)(clear cache&dalvik)

Installed OrangeFox 12 Unofficial (for decryption keys A12-14)(auto-reboots)

Same thing as before ⬆️ (above) but this time:

🌟During setup on first boot for (pixel screen gears) Gapps, just before [adding email account] where it bugs out (like on video) and doesn't allow anything to happen (playstore crashes), you transfer from another device with OTG cable...

🌟Since I have another device logged into my gmail account(s), I connected a 2 sided C-USB cable, and did a data transfer of my email account(s); decided not to copy any more data, and viola! Got security notifications on my main phone as it transferred account(s)!

🌟I then proceeded to finish gapps procedure, went to google play store and see my account logged in and everything working! 😀👍

So:

reg ol' phone w/ acc(s) ➡️2-sided-CUSB➡️Xiaomi Redmi Note 8

(Phone plugged into other phone).

This time I made all the setup without Wi-Fi, only with LET network.

I was so happy to get finally X-Evolution working.

Unfortunately, I connect the phone to my Wi-Fi

Once again, after, when I left my home, no more Internet connection through LTE network.

What should I do to get it working ?
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Tejas_Singh:

wipe system data dalvik cache vendor

flash firmware

flash rom

format

Reboot

[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Nikname84:
Format data and wipe data are two different things with two different options in the recovery. Might seem pedantic but you used both terms. Note that anything on storage (all downloads, images, music, everything) will be removed when you format data.

Does this rom have call recording that doesn't talk on Ginkgo.?
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Nikname84:
You'll need to use an older version of TWRP for it to work, none of the newer versions seem to recognise Willow as Willow. Either that or you have to open the archive and edit META-INF/com/android/metadata and change the last line from "pre-device=willow" to "pre-device=ginkgo".

Just installed 2 days ago, this rom seems much more stable than all the others I've tried. I've finally got a decent camera back on my REDMI NOTE 8. I've noticed a few things missing that I can't think of right now, apart from one, I can't figure out how to activate facial recognition.

I had this ROM for 1.5 weeks now. I cannot do OTA update, ROM wouldn't download. Also I find it laggy at times when loading apps, whatsapp waiting for keyboard, google map waiting for map, or browsers getting stuck. I used TWRP recovery, and did flash install twice.

Hello,

First thing, I would like to thank you for this great rom, which is smooth and has many good features, but there is only one thing that I don't like it about this rom, it the recorded voice notes in whatsapp or messenger! Everytime I record a voice note it gets recorded at low volume, when I use a different rom the problem is gone, this problem exists in all the evolution x rom builds I have tested, starting from 7.x.x.

I reported this issue in the telegram channel but no one gave attention to the issue, tried also to browse the internet for a solution including xda forums but I still couldn't find a solution.

Please if anyone knows how can get rid of this issue let me know, your help would be much appreciated, because I really like this rom and I want to keep using it but I can't use it without whataspp.

Sorry for my bad English, I hope that I've explained well the issue.

Here is an attachement that shows clearly the low quality of the voice in the recorded voice note in whatsapp using this rom and the previous one using a different rom.

If you turn off the sensors, the pocket mode /prevent wake up mode will not work (the phone will be able to wake up in your pocket), which is a very useful function : <

Btw. there are AOD settings in EvoX. These are useless features to be removed from the ROM in the future?

PS. EvoX with A14 is very smooth and awesome ROM.

pocket mode type features are fine which just uses the light sensor mostly and on screen wake which shouldn't be causing trouble like the ambient display hand wave to wake and stuff..
