Official StatiXOS is back!



Jertlok and Simar







Hey there, StatiXOS here.





It’s been 46 days since the latest official ROM and we have decided that’s time to release a new version.

You are probably wondering “Wow, 46 days - they probably have revolutionised everything in all these days”. Yes, yes and yes! We have changed the name of the ROM to reflect the current date and it’s running smoother. Great, isn't it?

Jokes apart, we are here to release the new version and if you are interested you can check a generated changelog of what we have done in these days.

It contains all the changes made on our repos, including the Nexus 6P’s ones.





USER FRIENDLY CHANGELOG

We know the world is not a safe place anymore so we updated ROM to October security updates for everyone’s safety;

IMS services got completely disabled until we find a solution for VoLTE, which means that Verizon and T-Mobile users will be able to get calls while connected to LTE. The phone will downgrade to a lower technology when there is an incoming call;

sRGB mode fixed, so We have restored it (since we were getting serious threats from users), you will find it under the developer section;

Backup tool is finally a thing which means you will not have to worry about dirty flashing the new version, you won’t lose anything. Flashaolics can finally feel home;

WiFi doesn’t longer need coffee to stay awake while the screen is off;

The system now has a Dark mode (inspiration from DCEU);

StatiXOS now has a different style and this thank @nardow that has designed a wonderful Sparks icon and a wallpaper;

Bootanimation and sounds kanged from Pixel 2 thank to @skiman10;

New ways of breaking system got added inside Sparks, but please do not take a look inside Miscellaneous. Major ones:

Edges in the UI were sharp so for safety measures, we have enabled rounded corners;

For all the lazy people, there is a quick unlock mode which allows you to unlock the phone as soon as you type the correct pin. Save yourself a tap now;

We gave StatiXOS a high dose of sleeping pill and now doze mode works even better than before;

Now there is a Caffeine QS tile. So, if you have no life just turn it on and keep staring at the display.





QUICK HEADS UP

Before going straight to the download section there’s something we would like to tell you: we have changed the default encryption method for the phone, migrating to File-Based Encryption (you can get more information on the official Google documentation page). In order to get this encryption mode working, you will need to use our custom recovery (compiled from the latest source) which is compatible with this encryption and, just for the first time, you will have to wipe your internal data - so, backup your data before proceeding.





INSTALLATION SECTION

Mandatory clean flash - even for users that were on a previous official.

Note: If your phone only has 4 cores, download the BLOD patch (you can find it in the download section), flash our recovery.img from your working TWRP and then install the BLOD patch.





1. Grab our recovery from the download section and install it

via fastboot:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

or via TWRP:

Install Zip > Install Image > Choose ‘recovery.img’ > Select partition ‘Recovery’ > Swipe to confirm flash

2. Install the official ROM, GApps and then FORMAT your internal data partition

via fastboot:

fastboot -w

or via TWRP

"Wipe" > "Format Data" > Type 'yes' in order to format your internal storage; this will erase all your stored files, backup if you wish to.

3. Reboot into system and wait until the process finishes, it could take a little bit. After the installation is done I suggest waiting before using the phone because it usually goes into thermal throttling after installing a ROM.
