Official builds and OTA support

As I recently became the official maintainer at Evolution X project for the Pixel 4a, 4a 5G and Pixel 5, the software updates I provide for these devices are now built and released through the CI/CD infrastructure of the project.

Pace of the releases has slowed down recently because we, at Evolution X, have been doing a major upgrade of the build and release tools. The goal is to streamline our work as maintainers, with the added benefit of simplifying our internal processes and making future releases more reliable.

Long story short, from now on the updates for my devices will be available on the project website as official builds :

At the time of this writing, for each device, you will get the following builds :

  • Evolution X 10.x, starting with 10.9 (Android 15 with September 2025 security patches),
  • Evolution X 11.x, starting with 11.4.1 (Android 16 with November 2025 security patches),
  • each major version comes with Google Apps built-in by default, or without any of these applications if you choose the Vanilla variant.

Every official build is signed with the project keys for security reasons ; once you are running a major version of an official release, the following updates will be delivered through an Over-The-Air download directly to your device.

Neat, isn't it ?
