crDroid is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device also attempting to bringing many of the best features existent today. We're mainly based on LineageOS so use custom kernels compatible with them!

​

Features

Click for feature list (helps shorten the OP.)

Always Have a full functional Backup. Just in case!

DOWNLOAD ROM

GAPPS: DOWNLOAD GAPPS

First time installing crDroid to your Mi 6X, or coming from another ROM:

** Make sure you're running a proper working Recovery (CWM or TWRP)

Flashing instructions:

1. Boot into twrp copy ZIPs to device and flash ROM

Flash Gapps

Reboot, and wait for booting. It takes ~3 minutes

For root, AFTER you boot into the ROM, you can go back to recovery and install Magisk XX.x (whatever is most recent).

Upgrading from earlier version of crDroid:

The only difference between clean flash as above and upgrading is you just wipe system & cache, leaving data. Everything else is the same. ***Remember to always clean flash before reporting problems. Clean flashing is always the best method of ROM install.

KNOWN ISSUES

Don't expect any support if you:

- are not running the included kernel

- have installed any mods such as Xposed!

- have modified system files

Thanks to:

- Google

- LineageOS

- SlimRoms

- AOSPA (Paranoid Android)

- OmniRom

Thanks for dev this rom.

I have a question, how can I make version 6 of google camera work? It seems that the following properties must be activated in addition to the typical HAL3 and EIS.

persist.vendor.camera.HAL3.enabled=1

persist.camera.stats.test=5

persist.vendor.camera.stats.test=5

But when I do the modification the build.prop is not read. How can I make it work?

Ty.

Flash PitchBlack Recovery, and from extra settings menu hit Camera2APi. Flash your TWRP img again if want back your old recovery.
[Xiaomi 6X (Wayne) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] verttl:
Or just turn cam2api-switch on. It can be found from settings -> xiaomi parts. :silly:

Theres no need to flash anything or edit any lines in build.prop.

Btw just flashed latest wayne crdroid over latest jasmine version and it seems to be smoother and performing better in benchmarks.

I have the same problem and Google Play services is not working. To use the Google Maps and YouTube, I can open them via chrome browser, but must not install the Google Play services, if not, the Google maps can not be opened just like with the Maps app. I think the only way to make the Google app working with a honor 10 lite bought in China is to flash a global firmware to replace the Chinese firmware. But, where to find it? Maybe it is too new product, no global firmware ( rom) available yet today.

[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] muujeeb:
I am using ZUI 4.0.199 ST on rooted device. I am using Airtel as my primary network, but VoLTE is not working. When I checked IMS Service Status (by 3 dot menu after dialing *#*#4636#*#*) it shows Not Registered. I used my friend's Airtel SIM Card and VoLTE is working fine in that. It's IMS status is also showing Registered. Thus it is not the baseband or ROM or device spec issue. I searched many threads but didn't get any satisfactory solution. It would be great if anyone can guide me what to do.

P.S. For those people whose Airtel VoLTE is not working, please check your IMS service status because I can confirm that our device supports VoLTE service bands of Airtel in ZUI 4.0.199ST

VoLTE works on ZUI 4.0.199 ST

Dear All,

I was trying to enable VoLTE also in my custom ROM. I was using AEX 6.0. Below are the steps I followed:

1. I installed ZUI 2.5 using QFIL. Tried to enable VoLTE. It got enabled in the settings but the VoLTE or HD icon did not show up.

2. Then I installed ZUI 3.5.389 using QFIL. Tried to enable VoLTE. It got enabled in the settings but the VoLTE or HD icon did not show up.

3. Then I updated the ZUI to ZUI4.0.199 using OTA.Tried to enable VoLTE in settings but could not find any option in settings.

4. Then I downloaded and installed QuickShortcutMaker App. Using the App I enabled VoLTE (there were two places where I made changes). Still did not see VoLTE or HD icon. I tried restarting the phone and enabling/disabling the setting many many times but same result. Even I was getting the same IMS not registered error.

5. Contacted Airtel Customer Care. Told them that they need to do something at their end. They simply said that the device is not supported.

6. Next day, saw that my friend is using Airtel connection on OnePlus 6T with VoLTE enabled. I swaped the sim card.

7. After inserting his sim card in Z2 Plus, HD icon came automatically. When I inserted my sim card in OnePlus 6T, VoLTE was not there.

8. Called Customer Care one more time. Explained them the scenario. This time they registered the complaint.

9. VoLTE (HD was showing up) got enabled within an hour on my SIM and Z2 Plus.

10. Installed AEX 6.0 again and this time VoLTE was showing up in AEX also.

Regards,

Amit

8.12.20 ROM is Crashing Many Apps.

Many Apps that use web interfaces, WebKit etc are now force closing. Such as Joplin, many browsers such as Boat etc etc.

They all were working fine with 8.12.13. Amateur Devs at Xiaomi once again are using many as guinea pigs. Why is there no expert supervision at Xiaomi?

Please list apps force closing in 8.12.20 in this thread. Maybe Xiaomi will see how disabling numerous web based apps is extremely stupid.

Also regarding the news of the stupid Xiaomi policy of disabling anti-bricking and EDL downgrading setting, is it safe to downgrade to 8.12.13 from 8.12.20 ?

if i remember well the anti-rollback policy just will brick you your phone if you downgrade to oreo from pie (or any other different android version like Q to pie), but in pie you can just flash them, those numbers are like dates of release, 8.12.24 december 24, its the same rom with different bug fixes, so theorically you will not brick your phone from downgrading it from twrp :)

I'm using BBS 2.4.265 on Andriod 5.1.1, Samsung Note 4.

I have not yet succeeded in diagnosing the power consumption issues, but recently, the behavior of BBS has changed

I used to (from initial BBS installation to about a week ago) see a significant time in deep sleep when the phone was idle. Now I see Deep Sleep is Zero%, and Awake Screen Off is the total time since unplugged from charging.

Formerly, I would see processes listed under Kernel Wakelock. Now Kernel Wakelock reports "No stats have been collected yet"

How can I determine what has changed and fix it?

Looking in the Android Battery Usage summary, it says the majority of the battery usage is from "Android System", which is not helpful.
[BetterBatteryStats] timg11:
I just updated this phone to Android 6.0.1. It has not helped solve the mystery power consumption, but BBS is working better.

Summary reports Awake Screen Off as 92% of time

I am now able to see the Kernel Wakelock value again. It shows PowerManagerService.Wakelocks at 100%. Details include Count 0, Expire Count 0, Wake Count 0, Total time and Sleep time = 14228011. Max Time 0

What is the next step for debugging? What changes can be made to reduce PowerManagerService.Wakelocks?

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] prefor:
Hello guys!

I just unlocked my Redmi Note 5, and I want to flash it to pixel experience 8.1.0 Oreo.

I've been reading around a lot about the antirollback thingy on the RN5, and all those risks to brick the phone etc.

How can I make sure to flash the phone without risking to brick it?

Before you tell me to read around (which I have), I just want to confirm if these are the right steps for me. :)

I have firstly enabled USB debugging.

I downloaded minimal ADB and fastboot tool and ran the code "Fastboot Devices" it found my device due I get some numbers etc...

In Fastboot I also wrote "Fastboot Getvar Anti" and got the code 4. So I'm guessing my antirollback thingy is 4...

Sooo here is the steps I want to do next, correct me if I'm wrong.

1. I have downloaded TWRP version 3.2.3.2 from this website: https://eu.dl.twrp.me/whyred/

And I downloaded LazyFlasher from this website: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=890129502657590339.

I got that LazyFlasher link from here: https://www.google.com/amp/s/xdafor...aomi-redmi-note-5-whyred-unlock-t3778049/amp/

2. Now since my antirollback is 4 (and correct me if I'm wrong here), my next step now is to boot the phone I "Fastboot" by holding volume down button + Power button. And then write in the console from the computer "Fastboot boot TWRP.img".

Here is what I'm wondering. Is it "Fastboot boot TWRP.img" or "Fastboot flash TWRP.img"??

3. Let say that it's "Fastboot boot TWRP.img". The next step from here is to install the TWRP image inside TWRP recovery. And after when I have installed TWRP and should flash to LazyFlasher. After that reboot and boot up to TWRP recovery again.

4. Now since I have TWRP installed, I'm guessing everything is correct??

From here can I just wipe everything and flash to a custom ROM I have downloaded??

I have already downloaded Pixel experience 8.1.0. Or should I do something else? :)

5. If everything is correct, can I flash my kernel to derp kernel 4.2 even though I have Oreo 8.1.0??
