Notes

• Formatting data and clean flash are required if you come from android 11. Please do not update through OTA if you are on android 11.
• Encryption is disabled for various reasons. You can keep using the latest TWRP or OrangeFox, but please follow the clean flash guide carefully.
• Dirty flash is fine from previous EvoX android 12 builds
• When switching to other ROMs, you may need to re-flash the required firmware, if the ROM you are going to flash does not include one.

Device Specific Changes:

• Etude kernel: Op.12 No.2
  • Linux 4.9.301 and CAF tag LA.UM.10.3.r1-00900-sdm845.0
  • removed 2 bytes of padding in network buffers
  • upstreamed generic locking/refcount from 4.14
  • ported arm64-specific fast refcount checking
  • enabled HID WACOM driver
  • wireguard 1.0.20211208
  • DO NOT use another kernel. Just don’t.
• Properly disabled surfaceflinger backpressure propagation to reduce jank in certain scenarios
  • we had it disabled on android 11, but a change in surfaceflinger property on android 12 accidentally enabled it again
• Updated parts to newer APIs like TaskStackListener and TaskInfo
  • also fixed some harmless log spams caused by SElinux

Clean flash guide:

• Install the latest TWRP or OrangeFox
• If you have the latest OrangeFox R11.1_1, you can simply wipe the cust partition from GUI. With TWRP or older versions of OrangeFox, open Terminal (Advanced/Terminal in TWRP, Menu/More/Terminal in OrangeFox), and run command

  mke2fs -t ext4 -b 4096 /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/cust
  

  then enter “y” to confirm.
• Install ROM in recovery
• Format data (the one you type “yes” to confirm)
• Reboot

Gapps, vendor and firmware are included.
