It has been confirmed to work for some users 😊

Maintenance announcement

As we work towards making the infrastructures better, we must take down our infrastructures temporarily to ensure that everything goes well. If you wish to download the ROMs for your devices, visit: https://sourceforge.net/projects/evolution-x/files/


Duration: 2023/02/03 11:30 PM JST to 2023/02/04 04:30 AM JST
Affected services: The entire Evolution X infrastructure and related

THIS DOES NOT RELATE TO ROM DISTRIBUTION, CONTACT YOUR MAINTAINERS

February 2023 security patches have been merged into Evolution X!

Version 7.6 is Sinigang! (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinigang)

Updates for officially supported devices will start to roll out this week.

Google is messing with Safetynet on the server side of things. It's failing for others while passing for the rest. It's COMPLETELY RANDOM. A change in DNS might make it show that it's passing but it won't make a difference. It will be RANDOM. It may pass now then later it may not.

Kindly wait for an official update from your maintainers. SN should pass as before.

Thanks to hentaiOS' Dyneteve and team. Commit can be found in their fwb.

The update including the Safetynet fix will be version 7.6.1 Adobo. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobo)

This is done to distinguish the update from previous ones that will certainly fail safetynet from now on.

We would like to greet our Project Manager, @realakito, a very Happy birthday today! 🎉🎂

Thanks for all your contributions to Evolution X after almost 4 years!

ICYMI: We have a #device_groups note in our main group!

By using that note, it will show all of our DEVICE-SPECIFIC groups where you can look for DEVICE-SPECIFIC issues and downloads!

Our Pixel users are happy to report that we were able fix the built-in unlimited storage toggle for Google Photos 😊 It'll be included in upcoming updates for supported Pixel devices!

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

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 7.6.2 which is the latest), you may install this version of the safetynet fix module by Displax from GitHub. It may solve your safetynet issues temporarily until you receive an updated version of the ROM.

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

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).

We will do our best in collaborating with other ROMs such as PE, crDroid, Syberia, LOS and many more as we strive to bring further improvements and more features than ever before.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for staying and we hope to continue building and improving this project for all of you. ❤️

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.

Happy International Women's Day and Holi Festival of Colors to all!

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 Mizukito and the rest of the Evolution X team
