Evolution X Updates:

Notes and Known Issues:

  • Prebuilt official GoogleCamera has been removed intentionally because obviously it will not work for our device. Install any gcam you like that works on android 11. Do not use the Camera2 that comes with the ROM.
  • Wireless Display can scan but may not connect successfully
  • “OK Google” hot word does not work yet

Flash guide:

  • Install the latest custom recovery

  • After formatting data, you may have to reboot again to recovery
  • Wipe system & data & cache & dalvik cache
  • Install ROM
  • Reboot

Gapps are included. Vendor and firmware are included. Format data and clean flash are required.
