Memory Management Improvements

The updated kernel features enhanced memory management algorithms that dynamically allocate and release memory resources more efficiently. This reduces the likelihood of memory leaks and improves overall system stability, particularly when running multiple applications simultaneously. We re-evaluated the low memory killer, and increased performance.

CPU Scheduling Optimizations

We have refined the CPU scheduling algorithms to prioritize foreground tasks and ensure that the system responds quickly to user input. This results in a smoother and more responsive user experience, especially when multitasking or running demanding applications.

I/O Performance Boost

Optimized I/O scheduling reduces latency in data access, leading to faster app loading times and smoother overall performance. This is particularly noticeable when accessing files on internal storage or external SD cards. We have improved the performance of the system.

ART (Android Runtime) Optimizations

This update incorporates the latest ART (Android Runtime) optimizations. We have optimized the Android Runtime to improve app startup times and overall performance.

Ahead-of-Time (AOT) Compilation Improvements

We have refined the Ahead-of-Time (AOT) compilation process to optimize application code for specific hardware configurations. This allows applications to launch and run more efficiently, resulting in a smoother and more responsive user experience.

Garbage Collection Enhancements

The updated ART includes enhancements to the garbage collection process, reducing the frequency and duration of garbage collection pauses. This minimizes stuttering and lag during application usage.

Framework Optimizations

We have fine-tuned the Android framework to minimize resource consumption and improve overall system responsiveness. These optimizations are designed to provide a smoother and more efficient user experience without sacrificing functionality.

Reduced System Service Overhead

We have optimized various system services to reduce their resource footprint, freeing up valuable system resources for applications and other critical processes. This contributes to improved battery life and overall system performance.

Improved UI Rendering Pipeline

We have enhanced the UI rendering pipeline to reduce latency and improve the smoothness of animations and transitions. This results in a more visually appealing and responsive user interface.

New Features and Customization Options

Installation Instructions

Before proceeding with the installation process, we strongly recommend backing up your important data. While we strive to ensure a safe and seamless installation experience, data loss can occur in rare cases.

Prerequisites

• Unlocked Bootloader: Your Samsung Galaxy A71 must have an unlocked bootloader. Unlocking the bootloader will erase all data on your device, so be sure to back up your important files before proceeding.
• TWRP Recovery: You must have a custom recovery, such as TWRP, installed on your device. TWRP allows you to flash custom ROMs and other modifications to your device.
• Evolution X ROM: Download the latest Evolution X ROM package for the Samsung Galaxy A71.
• GApps (Optional): If you want to use Google apps, such as the Play Store, you will need to download a GApps package. We recommend using a reputable GApps package.

Installation Steps

1. Boot into TWRP Recovery: Power off your device and then press and hold the Volume Up, Power, and Bixby buttons simultaneously until the TWRP recovery screen appears.
2. Wipe Data: In TWRP, select “Wipe” and then “Advanced Wipe.” Select “Dalvik / ART Cache,” “System,” “Data,” and “Cache” partitions. Swipe to wipe.
3. Flash the ROM: In TWRP, select “Install” and then locate the Evolution X ROM package that you downloaded earlier. Select the ROM package and swipe to flash it.
4. Flash GApps (Optional): If you downloaded a GApps package, repeat the previous step to flash the GApps package after flashing the ROM.
5. Wipe Cache/Dalvik: After flashing the ROM and GApps, select “Wipe” and then “Wipe Cache/Dalvik.”
6. Reboot: Select “Reboot” and then “System.” Your device will now reboot into the Evolution X ROM.

Post-Installation Tips and Troubleshooting

After installing the update, you may encounter some minor issues or require additional configuration. We have compiled a list of common issues and their solutions to help you get the most out of your Evolution X experience.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Google Play Services Crashing

This issue can often be resolved by clearing the cache and data for Google Play Services and Google Play Store. Go to Settings > Apps > Google Play Services > Storage and tap “Clear Cache” and “Clear Data.” Repeat this process for Google Play Store.

Slow Performance

If you experience slow performance after installing the update, try clearing the cache partition in recovery mode. Boot into TWRP recovery and select “Wipe” and then “Advanced Wipe.” Select only the “Cache” partition and swipe to wipe.

Battery Drain

If you experience excessive battery drain after installing the update, try disabling unused apps and services.
