[ROM][2016-10-27][Quarks][CM 13.0 Unofficial][6.0.1]

Latest update: 2016-10-27 To view a changelog, you can visit http://www.cmxlog.com/13/quark/ for a rough idea up to the build date.
Hi all. I was able to compile this stock build of CM 13.0 thanks to the efforts/hard works of Skrilax_CZ, baybutcher27, the folks who created Resurrection Rom Remix, and those over at CyanogenMod. It takes some minor features from Resurrection Rom apparently (i.e. notification light, some tiny performance/battery tweaks, and the ability to install Motorola apps). It is otherwise stock CM 13 and I use this daily. I and the other authors/devs assume no responsibility if you damage your device somehow.
Please don't feel pressured to update any more often than you wish .
Notes:
In order to make my calling work for Verizon, I had to go under Settings->Cellular networks->Preferred network type, and select LTE/CDMA (not LTE/GSM/UMTS). I assume GSM users should be fine with the defaults.
My recommendations to install:
Install TWRP 3.0.2 if you haven't already: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...recovery-twrp-2-8-7-0-touch-recovery-t3180308
Perform a backup of your current system/ROM (not really needed if just flashing a newer version).
Perform a factory reset/wipe (if coming from another ROM). If not coming from another ROM, still safest to do a dalvik/art cache reset.
Install the .zip
Install the appropriate google apps (http://opengapps.org/ , ARM, 6.0). I would think nano or micro is best.
(Optional) Install a custom kernel. The best at the time of this writing are at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-maxx/development/kernel-bhb27-kernel-t3207526 (CM-NX-RR-M builds for Marshmallow)
The latest is here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=50122
Wipe dalvik/art cache if you install another kernel.
Reboot and enjoy
Kernel Adiutor is very good for performance/power saving adjustments:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.grarak.kerneladiutor
If you are using bhb27 kernels, then you should use his version of Kernel Adiutor:

I'll be back to post updates fairly regularly (~every 1-2 weeks), but I also work full time in addition to being a Dad (those of you who are know how that is ) and won't really be able to response to PMs very well. The sources I used can be found under the post on XDA here at http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-maxx/development/rom-resurrection-remix-t3316232 (device, vendor, and kernel trees). Thanks and God bless.

I just flash this version and its absolutely amazing.
Good job devs!
Bugs I noticed:
-Settings for LED doesn't work.
-Android Auto says is not a supported device.
-Quick Charge 2.0 doesn't seems to work.
-Phone gets really hot when charging.
-...

I have been tempted to flash this all day, but I love how smooth my phone has been on resurrection remix and I enjoy the extra customizations it has. I'm eagerly awaiting the next resurrection remix build for all the latest git changes

That's a bummer with some of those bugs. Hopefully those will be taken care of soon and I'll be able to sync and rebuild. Did all of these happen to be with the stock kernel, or did you happen to flash another (like baybutchers)? I've seen a few specific to the tiles, but I dont have an Android Auto system to check against. Also, if they are working (or some) in resurrection then I could possibly try to patch this.

I don't know exactly, I installed it by downloading the zip and gapps to my PC and used the ADB sideload, before that I was using the last nightly of CM12.1. I did that and I didn't loose my info (either way I did a TWRP backup of everything, except cache previously), so I think it was the CM kernel. When I installed for the first time CM I flashed also the zip and gapps, if that way the stock kernel is changed with the CM kernel I think I'm using CM kernel.

Yeah that sounds like the stock cm kernel then if you didn't flash anything like that separately. I don't know if it would help, but you could always try the other kernel I posted about and see if Android Auto works (would have to restore your backup if you didn't want to keep it). It just depends how much you care and if it's worth staying with the ROM to you. There's obviously bound to be some bugs, but I enjoy using a lean version of the latest and greatest system. Thanks for the feedback .

Installed it 2h ago, everything is running fine so far.
This is smoother than the old cm and than rr too. I'm impressed!
I'm using Bhb Kernel.
My phone is turbo charging, led is working...
No bugs for me.
Nice job, mate! I'm glad we got a new cyanogenmod that we can have updates. Keep strong!

thanks,
hope bat drain @ standby will be best from rom's i tested.
somebody can advice what app use to get best standby time? im using Purify but i think it doesnt help much. also on mostly rom'z even when battery mode is set to eco that doesnt help much

I've just been going under the built in privacy guard and setting advanced permissions to where apps I don't need to start at boot are denied, in addition to also denying a lot of them from being allowed to keep the device awake. I get very little battery drain in standby this way. If the cell signal is too weak though, it's really hard to prevent extra drain as it over compensates to get a good signal.

Updated ROM to CyanogenMod 13 changes as of March 24.

It's a little hard to say since there is a lot and I am just syncing to the main CyanogenMod 13 repository. However, this is a good link if you go by the date and something similar (such as the Nexus 6 which shares a lot of hardware).
http://www.cmxlog.com/13/shamu/

This may be a dumb question but does this have VoLTE enabled and working(Verizon user)? Since it is CyanogenMod based I assume not but just waned to ask.

calsurferpunk, can you fix wifi on XT1254 with stock Brasil 1225's 6.0.1 ROM? CM12.1 and CM13 detect Moto Maxx and Droid Turbo radio very good!

working for U guys? For me not (BB kernel, location: Europe)

Your assumption is correct. I don't believe this has ever worked with CyanogenMod. I'm on Verizon and haven't seen it.

I had this problem on other ROMs as well until I restored the original manufacturer ROM, set GPS to device only, verified it worked, then flashed the new ROM. You might have to do the same here. I believe it's been a long ongoing bug with CyanogenMod (and probably others).

pretty thx for the cm13,did it have ambient display?

I am downloading this at work right now. It is slow and will take me a couple to download.
While it is dl'g, I have a question about wiping. Do I still need to do a factory reset if I am coming from a marshmallow cm13 RR rom?Baybutchers?
Also, I have not been able to get my GPS to work properly. In your post #17, you referred to original manufacturer rom. Where can I get this rom to set the gps? I do have computerfreek's room saved as a backup if I could use it? I don't have easy access to a computer to do a fastboot.
Thx.

Wait, ROM was updated to day 24?

Has anyone tried DirtyUnicorns?

Seems that there are DU builds for the HTC 10 (pme). Here: https://download.dirtyunicorns.com/pme/
Has anyone tried them? If yes, what are your impressions? :laugh:

It is AOSP based compared to LOS (CM) which the majority of the ROMs posted are.
DU is a great ROM. I found that it lacked some important features that I like, but a very solid ROM.

Yes i tried on Sprint but there was no data...even after entering the apn in

Encryption was not working, even with a full data format prior to flashing.
Any other opinions?

I have been running the weekly and official builds with nebula eas kernel for about 5 weeks or so. I personally feel its the best non-sense based ROM for my usage. It does lack some customisations most others have but makes up for it by being super stable, fast, battery friendly and just works as its supposed to with bull. I use superSU, substratum and A.R.I.S.E audio mod with selinux permissive without dramas.

To reverse the question, can I use it as clean Android without root, passing SafetyNet? Thanks!

It comes WITHOUT root. So you can choose your preffered method or no root at all.
I don't know about safetynet as I am not using android pay or anything that relies on it to pass.
Also I have not had any encryption issues as someone earlier replied

401.4 FW and 3.1.0 TWRP. What kind of encryption issue? I did have once only rebooted into recovery and it asked for the password but I just rebooted in recovery from TWRP and it never happened again.

I've tried several combinations, with older/latest firmware.
Every time, It would ask for the encryption password on bootup.
Even if I haven't set one up.. With data format prior to installing
Anyway, got sick of re-setting apps on my phone, just installed Maximus HD ROM, and that's that ?

The 4-8-17 build is Android 7.1.2 and so far it is running really well. I am surprised that there​ is not a thread in the ROM section for DU.

I think it was the DU team's decision to close all and not allow any XDA threads. Someone correct me if I am wrong.
No idea why though.

A quick question.
What variant , firmware and TWRP are you using?
Everytime I try that rom..it encrypts itself with an unknown password, and upon restart I'm unable to access my phone

I have had that happen when switching from a sense based ROM to LOS or AOSP and it's a "pita"... Anything that I want to keep gets moved to my SD card before I reboot to recovery.
I read through several threads and tried several possible solutions so I can't remember exactly which one worked.
I am currently on Verizon, official Nougat with the flashed us unlocked "patch", TWRP 3.1.0-1. If you are on Verizon or Sprint you need to patch the image with a missing image that is found in the us unlocked model (there are threads discussing it where you can find the file).

It was not related to the data partition.
The format user data was done prior and after flashing it.

There is a DU Oreo-based build for the HTC 10: https://download.dirtyunicorns.com/?device=pme
For the time being it is under "RC". Downloading now, will report back!
Edit: ROM is very nice and is flying by. Only downside is that camera app is VERY slow... Also, woofer is not working (as expected).
What I like the most is that it is AOSP, i.e. no LineageOS stuff like AudioFX, etc. Customisation features are nice and the experience is close to Pixel with Stock OpenGapps. If the camera app is fixed, then this would be perfect (I believe it will, since this is the first RC release)!
Further notes: Capacitive buttons backlight is off by default (can't find any standard option to turn on, maybe with a kernel tool?) and notification LED does not work either. Don't mind for the capacitive buttons too much, but the LED is a real problem.

[ROM][2017-10-22][UNOFFICIAL] XenonHD ROM for Mix 2 (Chiron) [7.1.2]

XenonHD ROM for Xiaomi Mi Mix 2
A Team Horizon ROM
Based on AOSP r36 7.1.2
This ROM has all the features XenonHD has to offer.
All hardware functions including:
NFC
Bluetooth Audio
Fingerprint Scanner
Doze & Wake-up Gestures (dtw works after the first reboot)
And...many more things.
Magisk is no longer built in, so you'll need to flash it when first installing, and after every dirty flash.
VoLTE doesn't work (at least on T-Mobile). I believe most of the pieces are in place, but there may be something in the firmware that's preventing it? If I could figure out how to tap into the stock cust files, I might be able to figure out how to get it working.
Proximity Sensor is working:
Notification Light:
I have slowed down the notification light so it isn't all amped up. To make it completely usable, go to:
Fixed default notification blinks for built-in apps so they are slowed down without needing to go to settings.
For use-installed apps, add them to custom notification list in settings > notifications > gear icon > notification light > + in upper right corner > select app. Apps added to that list will have slow notification blinks.
I simply cannot find a way to make user-installed app notifications behave the same as built-in apps. Grrr!!
I have also made the light sensor wait longer before dimming the screen. This helps with left-handed activities blocking the light sensor and almost immediately dimming the screen.
Reduced time to go back from dim to bright. Screen will dim after 5 seconds, returns to bright after 2 seconds.
I've remove configpanel & pocketmode...they did little to nothing, and may have caused more battery drain than I care for.
Required prior to installing:
Unlock Bootloader
Install custom recovery: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=962021903579490303
HUGE thanks to IceMan for bringing this to Mix 2!
A quirk with this TWRP: This one looks for backups in TWRP/BACKUPS/MIX_2 folder. Normally, the MIX_2 folder is named after serial number of your device.
So, you existing backups won't be found until you rename the folder in BACKUPS to MIX_2.
Installation Instructions:
Dirty flash is now available with the above TWRP and 10-26-2017 rom.
Download the most recent build: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673791459329071426
Download Gapps (I use Open Gapps Mini) --> http://opengapps.org/
All versions from 10-24-2017 are now encryptable.
From TWRP Recovery:
IF COMING FROM MIUI-BASED ROM: FULL WIPE AND FORMAT DATA!!
If you encounter ERROR 7, during XenonHD install, install Global MIUI ROM, then do full wipe and data format again, then install XenonHD rom.
If coming from AOSP-based ROM:
- Full wipe (Cache, Davlik/ART Cache, System & Data)
- Flash ROM zip
- Flash Gapps zip
Huge thanks to Mokee for bringing this device up and making a great place to start.
Also a very HUGE thanks to @Arasthel for his work on proximity sensor and figuring out the bluetooth reboot stuff and other hints, suggestions and incalculable work.
I'd also like to thank all of you folks here for trying this ROM and providing constructive feedback.
In addition, I appreciate your patience when issues come up that need to be fixed. I am not a developer, and I have a full time job and a wife that takes precedence most of the time

THX for the ROM @hondajohn88 ,very much appreciated. :good:
Is this 1st release identical to the beta?
Just curious,as I tried to dirty flash over the beta & got the same errors as if coming from another ROM (wouldn't flash).
Is a full wipe (less formatting data) necessary if updating ?
I don't mind setting up from new again,even if just updating from the beta build.
However,wondering if incremental updates are going to be an option on future builds.

Oh yeah...I need to add that to the OP, for some reason, dirty flash won't work. There's a couple weird things with this build, one is I can't make a dirty build or it breaks Wi-Fi, and can't dirty flash. I don't know the reasons, but if I figure it out, I'll be sure to let everyone here know. It's an extreme pain in the ass.

Glad everything is working for you so far. Bluetooth audio in car should work (it does on mine), but I found the volume on the car set to zero so needed to turn that up. That was a brief "oh crap" moment that I thought it wasn't working lol

It seems that we both have faced this issue. I just got A2DP working yesterday on Resurrection Remix by using sagit as base - without msm-8998 common and all that -, imagine my surprise when I saw you also did .
Anyway, I think the WiFi bug may be related to something going wrong in the build. When you build the ROM, kernel sources are used and you can see that the wlan.ko module is built. The problem is, wlan.ko is also a binary blob found in vendor. I believe that on the 2nd build, if dirty, one of these modules overwrites the other - which worked. Maybe you can test this idea, I will be doing it too on the next days.

That's cool you got the Bluetooth working on RR, knocking little things out one by one ?
Thanks for the idea on the Wi-Fi, I'll look into that this evening. Maybe there's a file I can delete before dirtybuilding. That would make testing things a lot faster! ??
By the way, does android auto work on your rr?

Everything except proximity sensor works and works as good as stock. I have installed custom font, black swift substratum OMS theme without any hiccups. The rom is buttery smooth and I've been getting a better battery drain trend on this compared to resurrection/mokee. I have naptime doze installed to see if i can ooze out more battery goodness to the levels of epic Rom(miui 9)
Overall this is super encouraging to see a daily driver rom this early for mi mix 2.
There is one edge case which might be a bug, when connected on car Bluetooth and watching something on YouTube.. And then you get a call, i pressed answer on the car knobs/buttons.. I couldn't hear the person talking.. Car was displaying "audio disabled message ”. But talking/call and video/music in isolation works just fine.

Android auto works for me. I'm on RR now. Might come to this if we can get Android auto working. How did you guys fix your Bluetooth audio on RR (we can move this to the RR thread if you prefer) @Arasthel

Thanks for the info about android auto on RR. I'll take a look at their repo and see if I messed up a USB setting somehow.
As far as I'm concerned, other ROMs can be discussed here.
Open source should be crowd sourced for maximum problem resolution.
RR probably (?) Did the same as me... Mokee made a commit in qcom/audio that did the trick.

I haven't used rr for this phone, but I think at this point rr probably has more options. This one has quite a few, and as son as I get most of this ROM straightened out, I'll try adding more options.
I'll add some screen shots of the settings to help people decide.
Thanks ?

Great work by a great Dev,
Thanks for putting in the work, smoothhhh rom~

List of roms with "Novatek NT36672" touch screen module support so far.

UPDATE: There is a telegram group with latest nightly builds of genom kernel, they are mostly stable, there may be a couple of ussues with some of them (like phantom touches or random battery inefficiency), however you can find kernels that support our touch panel in android pie, and oreo roms, and they run butter smooth compared to stock rom, (thank you rama982 and all contrubutors to Genom kernel). Just download a kernel build you like, and then flash it after the installation of rom. genom_ci
It has been an issue for a long time, since Xiaomi refuses to release kernel sources for this module (or so i been told), anyways, many people encouter the issue with touch screen that doesn't work after flashing custom rom (screen flickering, response lag e.t.c). This issue was brought up in this thread, however there is no answer to a question that excites most of "novatek" owners that are here - "what can i actually install of all roms". I decided to make a list of roms that happened to avoid this issue, i hope this will help users like me, so they don't have to spend literally weeks stalking, testing, looking around at all sorts of places only to find another rom that doesn't work.
1. This is the easiest one, all MIUI roms that are available for our device are working flawlessly, official global roms, custom ones, they all work (i personally prefer Revolution OS MIUI 8.10, since it has an option for the chinese bloatware and spyware to be removed, and i find it the fastest one).
2. Almost all nougat roms ( the ones that are based on android 7.1, (and maybe 7) ). Or at least 95% of them, i had issues with some of them, but it's okay that some roms are less stable than the others, you will have to find what works best for you.
3. As far as i remember, all roms based on android 8, 8.1 DO NOT work with our touch screen, except the ones that were mentioned here.
4. Who wan'ts a piece of a pie? I think everyone, but not all of us can get it, since there is only a couple of pie roms that work with our panels:
Aosp extended 6.0 (only 28/10/2018 release so far, developers told that they will fix it but they didn't so far, this release is pretty stable and snappy though).
Dirty Unicorns 13.0
(I really like the esthetics of this rom, and a philosophy that stands behind it, but release is missing some important features for me personally.)
lineage-16.0-20181115 (As stable as aosp extended, or even more. Perfect rom for a new user that doesn't care about a lot of features, and just wants to do basic stuff without any bugs and crushes) (IMO)
GZOSP from Here, it's even more simple compared to lineage, but a a bit less stable.
Thanks to rama982 we have Nitrogen Os, it works fine, things are strating to change. (Live a like to Rama982).
This list is potentially suitable for EBBG touch panel users, but as i have no device on hands to test it, i can't say anything about it. If you are wondering wich type of touch screen you have, you can dowload AIDA from play store, or any other "sysinfo" type of app.
That's all. I hope this will help you, it's the smallest thing i can do, as i love the community of this place even more than my morning coffee.
P.S. If i missed something, you can comment down below, or send a private message, we all make mistakes.

Try LOS16, Havoc, or Bootleggers - or try the latest Genom kernels.

I tried out AEX 10-28 for a couple of days. i went back to xiaomi eu beta for full screen navigation. i also opted for genom eas nightly for miui. i think i'll stick with this setup for a while.

Can i use genom kernel nightly on pixel experience rom to support novatek panel?

I flashed just now the latest build of pixel experience on my device with genom nightly build for pie roms and it worked... No blinking or screen and the touch is working flawlessly, still checking for small bugs

Yes tried many, including this.
It crashes as soon it is launched.

Try Open Camera... Its open source and pretty good! I use it daily.

In case anyone is interested, nitrogen os is working great on my ebbg display

i've tried pixel experience like @jharone23 said and it's working fine. i also installed genom nightly and it runs smooth. i think they worked out most of the kinks for novatek panel. i haven't tried the 12-31 build of the rom yet. gcam v5 works great. i also installed gcam v6 for better back cam low light and i'm satisfied so far. no problems with gps and lte. no network drops on wifi and data. i have mine rooted and installed kernel aduitor, also installed blex and youtube vanced from magisk repo. google backup works like a charm. played ro mobile for 4 hours straight on wifi. everything is great. note for benchmarkers, you would get lesser score in antutu compared to xiaomi eu rom with genom. i used to get 84k score with that setup but with p.e. and genom i only get 80k with performance setting in kernel aduitor. overall a 4/5 stars for user experience just because i was accustomed to full screen navigation in mi eu rom. A 5/5 stars in stability kudos to p.e. developers and genom. i won't be flashing any other rom for quite sometime as my current setup is stable enough as daily driver. maybe t.s. could include rom in the list. thanks jharone23 for the tip.

Overall best custom rom!!

So, I was tired with RealmeUI and decided to do some experiments with my phone. For the last few days I have been flashing numerous custom ROMs. I'm gonna share my experience with these ROMs. Hope it helps someone decide which one to flash. Earlier this post had some other ROMs mentioned too but I removed them as they were updated recently and I haven't tested them. So, can't provide my review without flashing them.
1. PIXEL EXPERIENCE PLUS & PIXEL EXPERIENCE
This is by far the best custom rom available for this phone. It's been one week and I'm still using it. The UI is buttery smooth. Gaming performance is awesome and battery life is good. The only downside of this ROM is that it doesn't have extra features like the other ROMs. This is purely STOCK. And damn I miss the OOS recorder from Derpfest. I know there's a Magisk module to get the oneplus apps and I did flash it. But the screen recorder was just not there. I tried installing ported apk. But the apk wasn't installed. So I used a app from the playstore- "SCREEN RECORDER". From my point of view this is the best rom for non gamers! I would recommend Evolution X for the gamers out there. I did install only two modules on this ROM - AML and Dolby Atmos!
2. EvolutionX
This is my daily driver now . The smoothness and performance is as good as PE+. But this rom has some extra features which is very essential (to me). If you game a lot and do screen recording, this is the one for you. There's a dedicated gaming mode which turns on automatically when you open games and oos screen recorder. It's a very feature rich rom. The latest version of EvolutionX needs RealmeUI firmware. So flash it first if you're on COS.
3. Havoc OS
Used this ROM for almost two days now and I can tell this is a good ROM. I didn't do gaming though. By the looks of it, I think it will handle gaming just fine. The XDA thread of Havoc is outdated. Join the Telegram Group to get the latest version(which is 3.8). And it needs RealmeUi firmware so flash it if you're on COS.

any bugs in Pixel Exp Plus or should I stick to Realme Ui

I can confirm. Been testing all the three and while I loved them Pe and pe+ are far the best in basic functions like speed, ui, battery, performance. Yet it is true it's very stock android like and missing some extra features but I don't mind for I'm a purist and you can always add extra content, apps, features by downloading and on a rooted device there is no such thing as completely impossible ?

Is there any properly working call recorder in pe+?

Actually, there is one impossible thing- " you can't install the OOS screen recorder (I couldn't). Tried the ported version and the magisk module Oxy-ify. The app just doesn't install.

You have to sacrifice some things. The private safe of realmeui isn't there. You have to use Gcam. Stock camera features(48MP) won't work. Slo mo does work but is kinda useless. The secondary lenses work but the macro is pretty useless I guess.

Well, there will always be stuff that won't install on different ROMs. I tried so hard to get 48 mp on custom ROMs but found out that it's kind of faux yet a good 12 mp gcam shot can be just as sharp and detailed as an oversaturated stock 48 mp shot on stock ROM. So I gave up on it and I don't mind. There are some stuff you can't install but if you're creative enough you can get around them. I'm sure there are good enough screen recorders out there ?

I never cared for the 48MP mode. Even in stock rom I used it only twice. Normal 12MP images turns out better than the 48MP images.
I know there are screen recorder apps available out there. But none of them were as good as the OOS screen recorder so I shifted from PE+ to EvolutionX.!

Best rom, lineageos. But it seems nobody is developing it anymore... But still using it and it's great

Let me use this thread to ask this: is there any custom rom being actively developed, that does not have gapps included? Thanks.

1. DERPFEST
The initial impression of this ROM was great. Performance and battery life was way better than the stock ROM. And the games ran very smoothly(including cod mobile and pubg mobile). And it had great features too e.g. - OOS Screen Recorder. You can't find the app anywhere on the app drawer. It sits quietly in the quick settings. If you don't see it just add from the tiles. But after two days to usage ROM started behaving weird. Occasional lags and stutters in the UI. And some apps were crashing. And sometimes the will go to a bootloop. To get out of the bootloop you have to go into TWRP and flash caches. It is not a solution though as the bootloops would occur again. So I decided to dump this ROM. I didn't know what the reason was. I posted a comment on the post of derpfest but I got no reply. Well, I had installed too many magisk modules, which were useful actually. Viper,ICE sound, Dolby Atmos, Audio Modification Library. Can this be the reason?? Is there something called "Module Overload" exist?
2. POSP
Here I only didn't face the bootloop problem but faced others mentioned above. So I got rid of it before it begins the stucking in bootlogo problem.
3. PIXEL EXPERIENCE PLUS

Evolution X has also a bug, the ported screen recorder doesnt support internal audio recording but great recorder because of 60 fps reolution. Only the default recorder works.

Anyone tried havocOS?

Hi, I was considering installing Pixel Experience plus on my phone. Do I need to have coloros or any specific version of realme ui to install it? I'm currently on Realmeui v11_c.05. I haven't rooted/flashed a recovery yet and plan to do it tomorrow. Should I download coloros before trying to flash this rom?
P.s Thank you for your detailed post, I was quite confused between PE/PE+, evox and derpfest.

You don't have to be on COS for PE+ or EvolutionX. RUI will do the job

I don't know what's wrong with this post but I can't seem to get the edit option. So I'm writing this in the comments-
"The latest version of EvolutionX doesn't need COS. It needs Realme UI firmware. So, if you're already on RUI don't need to downgrade"
