May 2023 security patches have been merged into Evolution X! 👌🏻

Version 7.9 is Kare-kare! (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kare-kare)

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

We're excited to announce that device specific banners will be coming to the Evolution X Updates channel!

This script creates device-specific banners that showcase new releases for Evolution X while aligning with the individually unique display cutouts.

We would like to give a special shout-out and thanks to @arber474, the designer of this utility. We greatly appreciate his contributions and interest in enhancing our release channel!

As we celebrate Mother's Day, we want to take a moment to express our gratitude and appreciation for all the amazing mothers of the members within our community. Your dedication, sacrifice, and unconditional love are truly inspiring, and we are honored to have your children as members of our community.

On this special day, let us take the time to recognize and celebrate the incredible contributions that mothers make to our lives and society as a whole. Whether it's through raising children, supporting loved ones, or making a positive impact in our communities, mothers play an essential role in shaping the world around us.

To all the mothers of the members in our community, we thank you for all that you do and wish you a Happy Mother's Day filled with love, joy, and appreciation.

We've bumped the version to 7.9.1 (now Lumpia) to differentiate the changes from the android-13.0.0_r43 merge and android-13.0.0_r49 (which includes changes within the Pixel 7a release).

We finally found the cause of the status bar touch issues in games/applications especially during landscape. It occurs after turning off the lockscreen unlock ripple effect.

For users on Evo X v7.9.1 and below, kindly keep that toggle ENABLED. We will be removing that toggle for v7.9.2 onwards to avoid this issue from occurring in newer releases.

For all who voted YES on the poll and is still willing to contribute, kindly visit us at @EvolutionXMarble as the crowdfund is currently ongoing!

We're already at $133 and just around $286 to go! If around at least 850 of the users that voted yes can help out, we'll reach it no time. Thanks to everyone who supported the Poco F5 goal!

June patches were delayed because of...

Looks like Android 14 will rollout around August-September once again.

A big congrats and thank you to the new @EvolutionXMarble community for the successful crowdfunding! 💖🎉 Stable Official builds to arrive in the coming weeks! 😊

June 2023 security patches have been merged into Evolution X! 👌🏻

Version 7.9.3 is Bulalo! (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulalo)

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

Just to clarify, several removed features after the June 2023 security patch release are

- QS date/clock/battery customization
- QS panel styles
- QS header images
- OOS clear all button
- Per-app network restriction
- Status bar lyric support
- Status bar old mobile type icons
- Lockscreen battery info
- Lockscreen media artwork fade percent
- Proximity check on wake toggle
- Pocket mode toggle

Most of these were removed as the code changes by Google have made it near impossible to re-include them unless a rewrite of the code is made. We do have plans to bring them back, however, some have been broken entirely such as Proximity check on wake and Pocket mode. We're omitting them for now until we get them working again. Lockscreen battery info will not return as it only leads to misconceptions about charging time and temps.

Regarding the inclusion of OOS camera, it is still not allowed for future OnePlus releases. Meanwhile, MIUI Camera support will definitely return once the source commits to support them have been re-included. It will take some time but we do intend to release updates with Leica cam pre-included again, replacing GCam GO/Aperture camera.

For those experiencing QS lag from Evo v7.9.3-7.9.4, kindly turn off QS data usage. It will be removed in newer builds.

July 2023 security patches have been merged into Evolution X source! 👌🏻

Version 7.9.5 is Chicharon! (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicharr%C3%B3n)

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