Evolution X v6.0 - UNOFFICIAL | Android 12 | Google Pixel 2 XL (taimen)
Updated
: 16/1/2022

▪️AFH | Sourceforge [952MB]
▪️XDA

Changelog:
• January security patch
• Added "Setup Wizard" (since some people need it to restore their data from Google account)

Notes:
• Since the system partition size is too small, a lot of GAPPS are removed so there might be some GAPPS related stuffs not working. I'm trying to figure out a workaround, maybe in the next build.

Evolution X v6.0 - UNOFFICIAL | Android 12 | Google Pixel 2 XL (taimen)
Updated
: 30/1/2022

▪️AFH | Sourceforge [915.2MB]
▪️XDA

Changelog:
• Minimized GAPPS (you should now able to install another GAPPS package to complete them)
• Removed some annoying AOSP apps (AOSP Gallery, AOSP Dialer, AOSP Calendar, etc.)

Notes:
• Bluetooth isn't working, will get fixed in next build
• I'm again trying to solve the GAPPS related problems. For now, I've reduced the GAPPS to the minimum that won't cause problem with the ROM's essential functions, but also leaving 500MB of free space in the system partition.

1. REDUCED: reduced GAPPS is included, some functions might not work, but there is 500MB of free space in /system for you to flash another GAPPS package.
2. FULL: more complete GAPPS is included, most of the functions should be fine but the /system is very full.
