Evolution X (Official)

Regarding QPR2/March patches release, we'll hopefully have an initial build ready for testing by the weekend as SystemUI and framework compiles just fine at the moment (though a lot slower as we're using a temporary server as we wait for the crowdfunded one). I still wouldn't advise maintainers to sync. We appreciate everyone's PATIENCE on this.

Maintenance Announcement As we work towards making the services quality better, we will take down some services in order to improve it. During this downtime, you can still access and download the ROMs for your devices from this link: https://sourceforge.net/projects/evolution-x/files/ The maintenance work will take place from 2023/03/22 01:00 AM JST to 2023/03/22 04:30 AM JST. All Evolution X infrastructures and related services will be affected by this outage.

March patch releases will take around 1-2 weeks or more. That should end all ETA questions.

Basically expect us to finalize March patches before the end of the Month. Major changes will include: - Switch back to Pixel Launcher (QPR2 version) - And with that switch, that brings back Google Wallpapers and Pixel Live Wallpapers compatibility - Removal of Parallel space and launcher app lock/hiding - Removal of custom icon pack support (since Pixel Launcher doesn't have any; use Pixel Launcher mod) - And several feature omissions caused by framework changes.

Looks like QPR2 will require us another rebase as there's too much conflicts after trying to merge it with our current base. We'll keep you updated.

Dear Evolution X community, We want to express our sincere appreciation for all of you who have donated to our fundraiser for our own build server.

Your support means everything to us and we are deeply grateful for each and every donation, no matter how small. We could not have made it this far without your generosity. As we continue to work towards our goal, we are committed to providing you with the best possible custom ROM experience.

Dear Evolution X community, We have some important news to share with you regarding our build server. For the past three years, Equinix (formerly known as "Packet") has been generously sponsoring us with a build server for our AOSP project. However, we have recently learned that Equinix has made some accounting changes and will be discontinuing the "free spot market" option for servers. As a result, we will need to transition to our own physically owned server. This is a significant undertaking, and we will need your help to make it happen. We are calling on our community to help us raise the funds needed to purchase and maintain our own server. We understand that this may be a challenging time for some of you, and we want to assure you that we will do everything in our power to make this transition as smooth as possible. Our goal is to continue providing you with the best possible custom ROM experience, and we believe that owning our own server is the best way to achieve that. We are asking our community to come together and support us in this endeavor. Any donation, big or small, will help us achieve our goal. We will keep you updated on our progress throughout the transition process. We understand that not everyone has access to payment platforms like PayPal or UPI, and we want to assure you that we will do everything we can to accommodate different payment methods. We will provide more information on this as soon as possible. Thank you for your continued support of Evolution X. Best regards, Anierin Bliss, Joey Huab, Akito and the rest of the Evolution X team UPI: reynoldp@fbl Paypal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/anierinb Paypal #2: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/joeyhuab

On this special day of March 8th, we are celebrating two significant occasions that are close to our hearts: International Women's Day and Holi Festival of Colors. Both of these events hold great significance in our lives and deserve to be celebrated with great enthusiasm. International Women's Day is a day dedicated to celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women all around the world. It is a day to honor the courage, strength, and resilience of women and their contributions to society. On this day, we acknowledge the struggles that women have faced and continue to face and recognize the importance of gender equality and the empowerment of women. Holi Festival of Colors, on the other hand, is a joyful Hindu festival that celebrates the victory of good over evil and the arrival of spring. It is a day filled with vibrant colors, delicious sweets, and cheerful music, where people come together to spread happiness and positivity. As we celebrate these two occasions together, let us remember the countless women who have fought for gender equality and women's rights and those who continue to do so. Let us also embrace the spirit of Holi by spreading love, joy, and happiness in our lives and the lives of those around us. Together, let us strive towards creating a world where women are treated with respect, dignity, and equality, and where love and happiness prevail over hate and division. Happy International Women's Day and Holi Festival of Colors to all!

According to our Wiki, today is our ROM's 4th Anniversary! 🎇🙌 Thank you to everyone who has kept Evolution X installed in their devices, who's been with us from the start, all contributors, our fans and all those who helped us out along the way. It hasn't been a perfect and smooth ride but we wouldn't have it any other way. We'll try our best not to stray from what we currently have and to keep providing a stable experience (apart from the random bs Google changes with safetynet of course). From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for staying and we hope to continue building and improving this project. ❤️

Closing the poll as it's pretty obvious. Thanks to everyone who participated.

We would like to give a quick shoutout to our POCO F3 community for having the only device on the latest version of Evolution X that still shows the device as uncertified in the Play store. Godspeed! That device is cursed.

Just a reiteration of a previous announcement since we've had MULTIPLE users reporting their safetynet breaking and causing apps to operate incorrectly, KINDLY wait for an update from your maintainer. If your Evolution X version is NOT 7.6.1 or newer, you may install this version of the safetynet fix module by Displax from GitHub. It may or may not solve your safetynet issue.

Following the releases of several Pixel devices, we're glad to announce another Pixel line added to the Evolution X community! Kindly welcome the Pixel 3 family! If you have a Pixel 3/3 XL, 3a or 3a XL, head on to @EvolutionXPixel3! For our other Pixel devices: - @EvolutionXPixel7 - 7 and 7 Pro - @EvolutionXPixel6 - 6, 6 Pro and 6a - @EvolutionXPixel4 - 4 and 4 XL
