Evervolv official discussion thread!

In this thread we will do the discussion of this ROM so we don't bother the developers anymore!

Sorry for this question, I am in good faith, but I want to understand if Drewis is developing this kernel alone or collaborating with the team CyanogenMod (or other). I guess the first hypotesis, but maybe they are sharing progress. Repeat, I am gratefully, it's only a curiosity

This is the discussion thread of the evervolv ROM and you're free to ask whatever you want. It's only a question and can't hur
If I'm not mistaken, texasice, drewis and the rest of the evervolv crew are working on the new kernel alone.

Can anyone post a youtube of the newest version running with HWA to see how it compares with MIUI?
I am curious to see if it's worth installing...
Really appreciate it!!

I can tell you that the latest version is running pretty smooth for me, the UI just seems faster and I can run the Chrome Beta which I couldn't even load up using MeDroid. HWA even at this early stage is giving my N1 a whole new life.

Very promising ROM but far too buggy for me to leave MIUI for it. :/

I flashed the P9 release yesterday (my first ICS release)... pretty smooth in general, Quadrant scores are not far behind the scores I had with CM7.1 (998 with evervolv P9 VS 1039 with CM 7.1)...
Got the same issues as stated in the "not working" section, plus the clock crashes (to set alarms) but that could be just a question of wiping cache/dalvik again.
Coming from CM, I miss all the customizations options in this ROM. Dont get me wrong, texasice did a fantastic job with the ROM and kernel development, especially in figuring out the HWA part...
But I will surely try MeDroid Remix (as soon as it's new release with HWA comes out this weekend) to see what it offers... looking at samuaz's thread, it looks a lot more customizable and coming from CM, it might be just what I'm looking for.
I will surely donate to both texasice and samuaz as well for a fantastic job done on their part, otherwise, we'd be probably stuck with Gingerbread forever.

I know plenty of much newer phones than ours that don't have a mod that can run chrome properly.
That said, if people are playing around with older (more stable?) versions and want to give some of the reboot fixes a try, look up market id com.jrummy.sysctl.config to set the memory without the new kernel or messing with scripts.
A lot of the CM stuff you might be used to is available from other programs. I mostly miss the brightness hacking and night mode filters, but I found a separate program that can make my screen dimmer to use as a night mode. The way the notification toolbar works is slightly different too. And Trebuchet is nice, but not that much different that I can tell.

I have an issue with p4 through p9.
I used trackball wake on build p3 it worked like a charm, but now when I press the trackball, pwr or vol buttons, the soft buttons are lighting but the screen remains black, I have loaded p4, p6, p7, and p9. All Roms work fine initially and appear trouble free up until the phone goes to sleep. After the phone goes to sleep the screen won't wake no matter what I do.
I have tried several SD cards, tried to turn off wifi, tried to change swap sizes from none to 256.... Not sure what else could be causing this???
Any ideas anyone?

So I got my phone running on the latest p11 finally. It works great, has been running for days, no reboots, pretty fast and seems stable so far... AND battery life has been awesome!
What I found was the CWM recovery was jacking my sd card when I partitioned it. I tried 4EXT recovery and all has been well after that.
No obvious issues other than camera preview...

Sometimes while on call the mic stops responding.. People calling me are not able to hear me..
I'm running p11 and not facing any other issues except the known one like camera preview etc ...
Anybody else facing similar issue?

*le bump*
Please do not let this topic die.

New rom is out. I had problems with wifi. No work around seem to work. I wait till the next version which I believe or hope to be stable one. Have to thank texasice, the rom is super smooth. ;-)

i think he posted a rebuilt p12 in the thread. it might be on the op page by now.

I just installed p13 today, it seems to work fine. The interface is a bit sluggish in places, for example Google Play is quite slow, and buttons don't always respond immediately. Is that normal for this rom?

Thanks, I tried the 0314-kernel and got slightly better results in the Quadrant benchmark (1004 as opposed to 937). But it didn't make a noticable difference in interface responsiveness.
It's not dreadful, but just not nearly as good as FroYo. But I'm not gonna expect any better since this is just a community work-in-progress rather than an official release.

Point is that its a pain to sort through all pages and links, and a bit confusing to find the latest build/ least bugs/ patches etc. IMO I think OP should update his first post accordingly.

yeah, I think it's much better to open a thread for each ROM. It's a huge mess and often you don't know to what ROM the comments refer to.
btw, is this rom multi-language?
And what does "quite stable" mean?

I recommend flashing this rom. It's way more solid than the miui dev roms.
+1 for having a new, separate thread to discuss this rom specifically. Not sure why that guy is complaining.

Last, 7.12, global stable rom is solid like a rock, running it for 3rd day. Xposed works as well, only modded , not usual one. So double check before writing.

All these custom Roms are pretty similar. Made by Chinese Dev "bule" with camera fix by Russian "nofearnohappy" from 4pda.

What about the mic issues? In MIUI it was the case when recording suddenly switched to the noise-cancellation mic and it causes a lot of troubles during the call.

Spurious processes running in the background.
What is system server running in the background, there seems to be a few extra processes running not in the official cm12.1 i was running on my s5 before i bought the note 2

Idk, u can try removing them with titanium backup

Wow glad I finally decided to check back to see some more roms for this phone. I had been using one of the first aosp roms for this phone without vibrate. While it was working fine, I did miss the vibrate function. Checked back and saw this one and it looked pretty damn good. Installed it with no issues at all and so far it is working perfectly.

Can't connect to web with data connection. Only WiFi.

I'm kind of surprised this thread did not get any bigger. Seems a lot of people have overlooked a really good rom. I've been using this rom for 6 months now and I still have 0 problems with it. Don't know how much longer this phone is going to last but it's still chuggin along. Did have to finally replace the battery as it developed a bulge in it (got this phone when it first came out so it's been while). Other than that I'm good. This rom is solid.

Camera is really slow

Hi. Has anyone experienced really slow camera performance with S3 Neo? Like you pressing shutter button in camera app and image is actually being taken 3-8 seconds after that?
I got this issue on CM12 and CM12.1, didn't tried other ROMs yet. I've tried different camera apps, Google Camera, OpenCamera and CM stock one. Each of those apps seems to be affected the same way. It works a bit better after reboot and cleaning camera app cache but I can't do that often. If someone can help me with this, I'd really appreciate. Thanks.
PS: I've tried camera fix from this forum but probably it's for some other issue as my camera stopped worked completely after applying fix and I had to re-flash ROM.

Camera fix is for devices that have a different camera sensor (there are two). So that's indeed not the right file. As for the camera speed, I'm not really sure. Mine is also really slow (cm12,1). I've come to live with it because i rarely use my camera anyway. I've tested some touchwiz based roms, and the camera was faster on those :/

OK, it seems like we're getting somewhere. Could it be CM issue? Maybe some other CM users can write a word about their camera app speed? I really like CM though, stock ROMs are overloaded with tons of software that is never used.

Nikola's CM have some issues with camera timing, and Motion based roms have laggy camera performance
Better to go with stock, because it uses the camera at the maximum performance.

Thanks! I'm currently testing CM based '[ROM][Stable][5.1.1][December 31]Resurrection Remix 5.5.9 - Final version' and it looks better. Need more testing though. Stock is too awful to use, I'd better live with slow camera, but maybe there's a solution.

Nope, Resurrection Remix is slow either, CM's curse. OK, I got it - fast camera OR fast ROM, no exceptions. Too bad, maybe CM13 will fix this?

Camera Quality is Poor
S3 original is better than this..

I've found 'lite' version of original firmware made by guys from 4PDA (link to original thread, sorry it's in russian).
It's 500 MB in archive and almost all Samsung stuff has been removed, so it's as clean and fast as possible. Camera works fine. In case someone else may need it, here's direct link.

Paranoid Android Official Release News

Just saw this on the Android subreddit, wanted to share with you all! the download links for entire Xperia Z5 Family are provided in the following link:
https://plus.google.com/+EvanAndersonA/posts/72TLZMj4K5S
Bugs/Broken Features (That I've found):
- Front Camera has color problems (Similar to the CyanogenMod 13 Rom Rear Camera)
- Back Camera is flipped upside down (Very difficult to actually take pictures), but color is fine and focus seems fine (limited testing)
- No Fingerprint Sensor
The following Zip has the assert line removed from updater-script so it won't check your device before flashing. BE WARNED, if your device is not the Z5 Premium Satsuki, flashing this could break your device.

Happened to me too, its because of the twrp image we are using (Had the same problem when flashing Resurrection Remix). I removed the assert line from updater-script (hacky fix) so that you can straight up flash it (worked on mine), but make sure your device is actually Xperia Z5 Premium Satsuki. If it isn't you might risk soft-bricking your device if not worst. I will not be held responsible for any mistake.

BT Audio works fine, no stuttering at all. Can't test talk, don't have a BT headset.
Like I said fingerprint doesn't work at the moment, I think it has to do with the kernel they packaged with it. Fingerprint support might cane in a later update seeing as how the other devices with paranoid support it.
It's super stable, the animations are really fluid, I haven't hit any bugs or crashes.
It doesn't seem to support Quick Charge out of the box, might again be a kernel thing (maybe they used more or less the same one for the whole xperia family?).
I love this ROM, heavily considering staying permanently on it just to see where they take it (at least until Sony releases Nougat). It comes very light, boots in under a minute (after first boot which took maybe 10-15 minutes). Downside again is camera isn't much better than the cyanogenmod/resurrectionremix Roms (if you can take pictures upside down then you'll be fine).
It has cyanogenmod theme engine (and support for layers) which is pretty awesome, only thing is I'd recommend replacing the stock launcher as it is very limited.
That's all I can think of at the moment.
TLDR: love this ROM, best to date other than some bugs/missing features. This is more stable than the ps4 after all it's stability updates (never experienced lag).

Flash OpenGAPPS after you've flashed the PA zip. Choose ARM64 and Android 6.0 on the OpenGAPPS website, the zip file size is up to you, read the description for each one until you find the one that's for you. I like to install the stock version for the "Nexus experience"
If it still doesn't work flash everything after you made a factory reset.
PS. Luckypatcher is something that's against the XDA rules, never mention it again, I'm just looking out for you. Read XDA rules for more info.

Firstly, KICKASS ROM! A few hicksup here and there to get it running. Got the Error 7, then when I successfully flashed it, I lost my root and then eventually when I got everything working, it wasnt charging. After a couple of reboots, it is working fine. Missing the fingerprint sensor. So far, so good.

Yeah this rom is pretty awesome!! If you want root you have to flash it after you flash the rom. I only wish they had a more stable update schedule.

Custom ROM for Galaxy S8 (SM-G950FD) with a great camera app ?

I've been running LineageOS 18.1 for my S8 (SM-950FD) and it's been working fabulously ! However its stock camera is just not the best. I have tried other camera apps as well, like GCamera and Open Camera, but nothing is as close as Samsung stock camera. I chose not to go back to Samsung stock ROM because I love the experience of Android 11, while the original rom only supports till Android 9.
Is there any other Custom ROM than LineageOS that comes with a great camera app ?

There is Project Sakura (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...5-1-official-monthly-updates-vanilla.4261403/). It is based on LineageOS 18.1 and has an integrated camera app called Footej Camera. Not the best name, but it feels a lot like the Stock Camera. I believe you can also download Footej from PlayStore but it probably costs a few pennies.
Good Luck on your Search!

Hi, thanks !
I have read the whole thread from Project Sakura that you provided, apparently there are issues with hotspot (not working) and camera itself (few people mentioned the camera just stucks after a while). But this ROM looks interesting, I'm gonna keep my eye on it and see its updates.

Well, the further custom roms move away from the stock rom, the more bugs appear. I'm surprised you have a working LOS 18.1, which one is that if I may ask?
You could check out ProCam X, it's in the Playstore. Great app with lots of features. Some people complain that the image quality is worse, but that's probably because they accidentally set the post-processing to low quality (NR).

I'm using LOS 18.1 from Stricted, check the first comment here. Yes, it's working surprisingly well, battery drains a little bit faster than using original stock ROM though, but everything works fine. I'm aware some people mention wifi / hotspot are problematic on their LOS 18.1, but I can use wifi & hotspot sharing just fine on my phone with this custom ROM from Stricted. They have September update for their ROM which I haven't tried because mine is already working well and I figured the camera quality would be the same anyway.
At this point, I'm focusing on looking for an alternative camera app, or waiting if someone would generously come with LOS 19 (Android 12) for S8, haha. In the meantime, I'll try your camera app recommendation, thanks !!

Thank you! I will check that out. One last thing comes to my mind. You probably know it already, but maybe you don't or anyone else is searching for a solution, so:
It is very important for high quality photos to activate the Camera2 API. It can simply be flashed and offers an interface for more complex camera controls. If the API is activated can be checked with this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.airbeat.device.inspector&hl=gsw&gl=US
If it misses, here is the zip file: https://www.cyanogenmods.org/downloads/camera2-api-enabler-zip-file-download/
Good luck and happy photographing!
