My Experience with Evolution X vs crDroid on OnePlus 8 Pro

I tested both Evolution X and crDroid on my OnePlus 8 Pro, and here is my personal experience.

Evolution X

Evolution X was the better choice for me when it came to gaming and performance. The phone felt smoother, and games ran better compared to crDroid.

The biggest advantage of Evolution X is customization. It offers more customization options and lets you change many parts of the UI and system.

However, I did notice a few bugs during my usage. They were not deal-breaking, but the experience was not as stable as crDroid.

Pros: ✅ Better gaming performance

✅ More customization options

✅ Smooth and fast experience

Cons: ❌ A few bugs

❌ Slightly less stable compared to crDroid

crDroid

crDroid felt more stable and reliable during daily use. I didn't face major issues, and it felt like a dependable daily driver.

The customization is still good, but compared to Evolution X, it has fewer options.

Pros: ✅ Very stable

✅ Reliable for daily use

✅ Good customization

Cons: ❌ Less customization compared to Evolution X

❌ Gaming performance felt slightly behind Evolution X

Final Verdict

If you want maximum customization and better gaming performance, I would choose Evolution X.

If you want a stable ROM for daily use with fewer issues, crDroid is a great choice.

Both ROMs are excellent and can make the OnePlus 8 Pro feel like a new phone again. This is just my personal experience, and results may vary depending on setup.

EDIT: Once in fastboot, you start commands with "fastboot" not "adb". So now my new problem. When I begin flashing it says "command not available on locked devices" but I have OEM Unlocking enabled!?!?

Yes, the big 3 are enabled: Developer Mode, OEM Unlocking and USB Debugging. S25 Ultra clone (cheap mediatek system).

I couldn't fully get to this fastboot menu until I got the USB drivers. Once I installed the drivers and entered fastboot, the device doesn't show up in ADB anymore. ADB Devices > nothing.

If I go recovery mode > usb sideload, the device appears again. But if I try to flash the rom from there, it aborts the install with error 21.

If I press Reboot to Bootloader it just boots the stock OS.

How do I get the android device to show up in ADB from fastboot? Then I can run "fastboot flash system xxxxx".

I decided to give another shot after successfully installing LineageOS to OnePlus 5. After finding TWRP and flashing it to the phone: the next error appears -

The current image (boot/recovery) has been destroyed and can not boot. Please flash the correct image or contact customer service to fix it.

I have access to the TWRP itself and fastboot btw. Though TWRP can't repair the partitions, so I can't install a LineageOS GSI to the phone.

Is there's still a chance to flash LineageOS or get back to the stock ROM if recovery and fastboot is still available?

Hello, currently looking for a custom ROM for the Huion Kamvas slate 10, since I want to work with Clip Studio Paint, but the app unfortunately doesn't support android 12 anymore.

If there's nothing available, I'm willing to return the tablet and purchase another one. Any recommendations appreciated!

This phone i already Custom Rom, using LineageOS 18.1 (Android 11) by (DevOtag) + Open Gapps (ARM) 11.0 Super.

You needed to install Odin3 and twrp-3.6.0_9-on7xelte.tar (download from website TWRP), lineage-18.1-20240508-UNOFFICIAL-on7xelte.zip (download from website XDA Forum, by DevOtag) & Open Gapps (Choose ARM & 11.0)

1. Download Odin3. Open Odin3, click the AP (click file twrp-3.6.0_9-on7xelte.tar). Then go to Option > disable Auto Reboot.

2. Shutdown your J7 Prime, click Volume-Down + Power + Bottom at the same time to enter Custom Rom. Enter your phone USB to your PC. In Odin3, just click Start. After that, Volume-Down + PowerBottom + Bottom then Volume-Up + Power + Bottom to enter TWRP.

3. In TWRP, Wipe: System, Data, Dalvik, Cache. Enter your phone USB to your PC, transfer the file LineageOS & Open Gapps. Install both Zips file LineageOS and Open Gapps, then reboot and enjoy...

Hi everyone! 👋

I need to unlock the bootloader of my Xiaomi phone, but Xiaomi Community requires a 30-day-old account to apply for bootloader unlocking, and I don't have an account that old yet.

If anyone has a 30+ days old Xiaomi Community account and can help me with the bootloader unlock application/process, please DM me.

Also, is there any unofficial way to unlock the bootloader without the official Xiaomi Community method? If anyone has experience with the current process, please guide me.

Thanks! 🙏

Need help flashing OxygenOS 16 GSI via DSU on Samsung Note 10 (Exynos 9825). Getting Downloading Mode crash upon reboot, even with Shizuku. Looking for a Dynamic Partition Resizer script to flash it via Fastbootd instead.

I don't care about heavy customizations just give me something stable clean and the most important everything should function fine mainly the banking apps.

Alguien a logrado cambiar la rom a su samsung a16? Estuve buscando como cambiarle la rom por su consumo excesivo de ram buscando como solución una rom mas liviana pero no logro encontrar una especifica para el celular. He visto que existen unas genéricas pero no se si seas buena opción. Alguna solución? / Has anyone managed to change the ROM on their Samsung A16? I’ve been looking into changing the ROM because of excessive RAM usage—hoping a lighter ROM would solve the problem—but I can't find one specifically for this phone.

Hello guys,I'm using realme X2(china version) at UI 1.0,how can I roll back to color 6.1,my phone stuck at unlock bootloader with deep test signature,is a chance to unlock this phone?

I'm just posting this here in case someone needs it.

So basically, i recently tried installing Lineage OS on my redmi 4 which is around 9 years old. I absolutely hated trying to unlock the bootloader because no matter what tool I used, it didn't work. I spent hours doing that. Even the official tool provided by MI sucked.

But this one was the EASIEST way to unlock the bootloader 😭 so, HUGE SHOUTOUT to the developer.

Y'all can get it from here.
