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 builds based on android 12 or 12.1
- 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.4
- Linux 4.9.323
- massive backport of the kernel random number generator stack from upstream common kernel
- fixed several conflicts caused by the random stack backport
- disabled qcom’s early random initializer because it is no longer needed
- use ascii-armor canary to prevent buffer overflow from overwriting canary in fork
- Wireguard 1.0.20220627 to go with the new random stack
- fixed several section mismatches in qcom’s regulator drivers
- fixed an incorrect asoc bound check that potentially causes echo in speaker-mode phone calls
- DO NOT use another kernel. Just don’t.
- Moved the fingerprint HAL process out of system-background task group for cpuset
- this should significantly reduce the fingerprint unlock latency in some cases
- Corrected the audio HAL service name in power HAL’s restart script
Evolution X Updates:

then enter “y” to confirm.
mke2fs -t ext4 -b 4096 /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/cust
