updating crDroid

I previously installed the crDroid on my smartphone, now I want to install the latest version that came up here, how do I do it?

I tried through the recovery, and the installation ended successfully, but when I do a reboot it hangs (appears on the screen icon of mi), what to do?
[Redmi Note 2 Original Android Development] xu3sno:
Assuming your current ROM is crDroid and it's running just fine.

1. Reboot to recovery (version 3.2.3-0)

2. In recovery > backup, just in case! > wipe cache and dalvik > install latest crDroid (crDroidAndroid-7.1.2-20190214-hermes-v3.8.9.zip) > reboot and you're safe!

Should the problem persists, then try with clean install! You may restore your user apps and its data by using Titanium Backup (root)

Happy updating and wish you luck!

Have a great day!

Anyone running latest LOS can give some opinion? I'm on an old version of, and only bug apart video recording (which I don't use it often) is that I can't pass safetynet :(

[Redmi Note 2 Original Android Development] Yaelede:
I'm currently using latest LOS (12022019)

I switched from crDroid, because my RN2 was getting very slow sometimes. I made a clean install.

Well, it didn't solved the above problem unfortunately (maybe my phone is getting old?...)

Video recording doesn't work at all (though I don't need it too often), media server crashes all the time, but at least it worked with crDroid sometimes (it wasn't stable, but sometimes it worked)

Safetynet: it doesn't work with me too, but I'm afraid that it's nothing to do with rom version. I tried to correct it using some of the very detailed information from this page, https://android.gadgethacks.com/how-to/magisk-101-fix-safetynet-cts-profile-mismatch-errors-0178047/ , but it didn't help. (though I didn't try every single step)

I used SuperSU in the past, now I'm using Magisk, but there was a pain to uninstall SuperSU and its traces (I have a suspicion that I couldn't do it completely, and that this causes the Safetynet problem)

As a matter of fact I don't know if I even need this Safetynet thing .... I can live without it I think..

Maybe I switch back to crDroid, just to see if video recording works with it.

Conclusion: apart from the video bug and the Safetynet error (and the slowness of my phone, which could be due its age), I'm happy that my old RN2 still works, Google apps refresh like in "old times", what can I still expect from life? ;)

[MENTION=5836455]Yaelede[/MENTION]

I'm on crDroid 20190214 build, 83 apps installed and phone running normally. I think your phone getting slowness nothing to do with aging phone.

You may retry clean install (factory reset, wipe system) LOS or crDroid or whatever your preferred ROM > successful ( in this state, your old SuperSU has been deleted from system partition completely). Now you can proceed to install Magisk v18.1 (Magisk notifies not installed SuperSU detected during installation) or reboot system and install it later through Magisk Manager (v7.0) that you have to install first.

In order to pass SafetyNet check, please refer to my previous post (also for [MENTION=7117356]vaselor[/MENTION] ):

[Redmi Note 2 Original Android Development] Yaelede:
Thanks.

I flashed latest LOS with clean install, but it didn't change phone slowness...maybe I try crDroid again.

I tried the suggested OnePlus camera app, and it works, though it crashes sometimes. I don't use it too often, but it helps, thanks.

As for the Safetynet pass: I realized that I don't really need it. I don't have games and Snapchat and other safetynet-depending stuff. The only issue was with my banking app, but I could manage it through MagiskHide, so it's not a problem anymore.

I would try the battery SOT thing, but the quoted instructions are not exactly clear to me. I understand that I have to install those 3 Magisk modules (just install or do I have to configure them too??) and I got the buildprop edit. However I don't know what to do with the "wakelock" section at all.
[Redmi Note 2 Original Android Development] PET.XHMN:
Install Magical, add 2 modules as attached picture, then config it with "props" command in terminal....Select a device fingerprint to emulate....(I use xiaomi redmi note 5/5plus)

Nowadays I get the SystemUI crash once every 2-3 days compared to once every 30 minutes. Overall its worth a try and its back to a level of daily driver usability.

Security patch

Hello,

I'm running on the LOS 14022019 build which is pretty stable but the security patch dates from december 2018... It is possible to update it every month ? (If you've time to work on it ! ;) )

Otherwise can we hope to see some Oreo or Pie roms on RN2 in the future ?

Thank you for your work !

[Redmi Note 2 Original Android Development] vaselor:
If you don't have a Noho battery (which is the best and quickest way to improve battery life), try to keep as few apps as possible on the background.

Using any of these roms will greatly improve battery life against MIUI.

[Redmi Note 2 Original Android Development] Iliyena:
Well... The current MIUI that is :P

MIUI 7.5.5.3 with a bit/loads of tweaking were always the best for me to get >4h SOT, the CM 12.1 Aurora ROM is the best I've tried for standby time.
[Redmi Note 2 Original Android Development] vaselor:
Yes, that's true. But MIUI 7 is too old now. These LOS builds have much newer security patches, and doesn't come with bloatware/spyware preinstalled.

[Redmi Note 2 Original Android Development] mosterhagen:
Thank you all, I will try the rom you mentioned. With LOS, my phone has a terribly short standby (5hrs) and usage time (max. 60min) and - what annoys me even more - it oftentimes shuts down (screen immediately black) without a reason. And it will turn off when starting if the battery is < 40%.

What is your runtime with LOS or CM12.1 and the Nohon battery?

Thank you!
[Redmi Note 2 Original Android Development] Ceejay343:
Just for everybodies information, use pico opengapps. I ran cDroid with mini opengapps and hangs and slowness. Opengapps tosses in all kinds of services that kill battery also i think.

So today RR 5.8.5 with pico opengapps and speed has doubled plus less battery usage.
[Redmi Note 2 Original Android Development] Iliyena:
Well. Dying that fast and shutdown at percentages above 10% is a huge sign of a battery going bad, fast... And it is 7.5.3.0 or 7.5.5.0 btw. Don't think you ever will get more then 10h standby and 2h SOT with that battery again. :s

Hello. I am using this CM 12.1 MoKee by BULE and I have 7H SOT. I also use Amplify, Greenify, Power Nap and MicroG. At the same telephone calls, sporadic use of the Internet, the battery lasts for a week. This rom does not have any bugs.

Yes, would be gr8! I'd also be interested in such kind of advice! - In addition: Which of the ROMs listed in the OP is (most) recommended and why? (Most important for me: stability, SOT and battery life.)
[Redmi Note 2 Original Android Development] unicunic8:
For Battery life :

code:

write /sys/power/autosleep "on"

write /sys/power/tuxonice/powerdown_method "1"

write /proc/hps/rush_boost_enabled "0"

write /proc/hps/input_boost_enabled "0"

write /proc/hps/down_times "1"

write /proc/hps/es_down_times "1"

write /proc/hps/es_up_times "5" # can also be between 2-10

write /proc/hps/up_times "5" # can also be between 2-10

option2:

or it could be a combination of scaling_governor "interactive" and scaling_governor "powersave" for each core

example:

core 1.2 = interactive

core 3.4 = powersave

core 5.6 = interactive

core 7.8 = powersave

This is a really pitty! Still want to use my RM Note2. I'm neither in the need nor willing to buy a new mobile every 2nd year! Manufactures are trying to get their numbers high by not supporting firmware a very long time.

Hence also my question is: Which is the most stable and recommended custom rom for the RM Note 2 ATM where most of the stuff is working?
[Redmi Note 2 Original Android Development] رامز:
the best custom rom for me is:

CM12.1 by vova vafin

http://www.vafin-dev.ru/cm_en.html

it's old but I've used it for more than 2 years without any issues super awesome :good: ,For other ROMs made by him check his site http://www.vafin-dev.ru/ but take care some roms are paid that's why he has been banned here in XDA :(

other one is

CrDroid 7.1.2

https://mega.nz/#F!0ZgiDaCS!1qISJ4mb9jWnA1W2vfUJcg!sJR1EQII

by Azizb it's the most bug free :cool: android 7 rom for RN2 no camera issue no webview problems everything is working fine except battery drain which is common in all 7 roms due to kernel issues
[Redmi Note 2 Original Android Development] Renth:
Thank you! So CM12.1 is also Android 5.1 "only". Regarding the battery drain of all the 7.x ports: Are there any chances that this might get fixed some day? Or is this also related to the failed ported pipe?

Currently I am using latest MIUI global stock ROM. Is there any newer alternative to it (like some 6.x ports or similar)?
[Redmi Note 2 Original Android Development] رامز:
yes CM12.1 is android 5.1 and it's the best custom rom alternative to native MIUI stream, TryHardDood has developed some android 6 roms but it was far from being a daily driver as it was using a custom kernel (before Xiaomi releases RN2 original kernel) so not recommended

1. Install latest TWRP 3.3.1-0 for hermes; https://twrp.me/xiaomi/xiaomiredminote2.html

2. Do nandroid backup your current ROM

3. Do factory reset. Your data will be deleted. You may restore using Titanium Backup later!

4. Wipe system.

5. Install your preferred ROM. Mine ViperOS (security patch Dec 5, 2018, the newest one amongst other ROMs,; most customizable,)

6. Install openGapps ( arm64, 7.1, pico)

7. Install Magisk 19.3 https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/tag/v19.3

8. Reboot system. Please be patient, as it's first reboot, take a bit longer, ca. 3-4 minutes.

Once system is successfully booted, you may set the system as you preferred.

Hope everything is going just fine!

Wish you luck!

[Redmi Note 2 Original Android Development] Renth:
Thanks guys! ViperOS I did not try yet - currently running RRemix as 2nd ROM. I assume your hints a referring to the 2nd ROM slot (since I use these ROMs always just as secondary ROM ATM to maybe find an alternative when I have to say Good Bye to MIUI)?

SuperSU I already tried with RRemix - doesn't work at all (seems that ROM is currently rootproof :D). Now I patched bootimage of RRemix as mentioned in some Magisk installation threads but did not reinstall it yet - will wait until I have to have root access for any reason (e.g. for Viper4Andoid or similar).

So any hints how to get that RRemix rooted another way are still welcome!
[Redmi Note 2 Original Android Development] xu3sno:
As you applied dual boot (please correct me if I'm wrong), I think that's the culprit you failed to root the 2nd ROM.
