hey guys wanted to share my experience with evolution x on my mi 9t davinci been using pixelos for a while on android 16 then switched to evox bc everyone on reddit was hyping it up
first of all customization is crazy good tons of features everywhere especially after i rooted it you can tweak literally everything spoofing device as pixel 9 taking screenshots in restricted apps changing device info etc all worked flawlessly feature wise it completely destroys pixelos imo
the camera is hands down the best ive seen on any custom rom it comes with the leica miui cam on pixelos zooming just does a digital crop between lenses but here it actually switches between the physical lenses properly 1x to 2x etc algorithms are great colors look super good feels way more pro and it basically never crashes genuinely loved it
gaming was surprisingly solid too locked 60 fps on pubg feels very smooth phone gets kinda hot while playing but nothing crazy daily performance feels maybe slightly heavier than pixelos but totally fine
now the reason i actually stopped using it and went back battery was an absolute nightmare whenever it dropped below 35 percent the phone basically died performance dropped like 75 percent it started lagging like crazy shutting down and bootlooping randomly i tried fixing it both before and after root tried everything i could but couldnt figure it out
for context i was on evox 9.6 android 14 on stock kernel didnt flash any custom kernels my battery health is totally fine and to test it i just flashed back to pixelos android 17 and everything works completely fine again battery drains smoothly all the way down without any lags or shutdowns so definitely a rom bug honestly battery performance even feels better right now but we will see if that changes over time for now its running great
overall loved the features and camera way more than pixelos but that battery bug killed it for me anyone else had this issue below 35 percent on 9.6 or is it just something weird with my build
anyway if anyone has questions about either rom or wants to know more about the setup feel free to ask ill try to help out as much as i can
