Thank you for the October 2021 update! :)

Note that OpenGApps Pico 2021-10-26 installs fine but fails at runtime:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/opengapps/files/arm/20211026/open_gapps-arm-11.0-pico-20211026.zip/download

...so I reverted back to my older September build.

I will try older versions until I find a working build:

[Nexus 5 Android Development] TMHAKIM:
First off the Cr-droid Android 9.0 rom is Noice (nice) this rom is okay for normal usage but i have sooo many problems with it first the phone is abnormally warm in normal usage. it heats like crazy when i updating apps which was non-existence on lineage os 15.1 (Android 8.1) when the battery is low on charge it causes mayhem and crashes the phone also the battery goes from 100% to 0% in 30 minutes that is really bad battery performance when i installed the latest version of the android 9.0 crdroid rom my phone could not access the internal storage. apps would download fine for some bizarre reason. i could not transfer any files or take screenshots after i downgrade the version to crDroidAndroid-9.0-20190525-hammerhead-v5.4 it got fixed but the above problems still persists PLEASE PLEASE fix the STUPID bugs thank you
[Nexus 5 Android Development] dahawthorne:
I know I should resist, but I can't help it.

Perhaps if you have so many problems you should consider (a) performing a proper installation or (b) trying a different ROM. The fact that others are reporting no such problems indicates that the problem is with you, not with the ROM.

And "Android 9.0"...? What does this even mean? Are you commenting on a two-year-old thread? What are you trying to say exactly?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] MricCall:
Just use the latest version. Why you even stuck on version 9 . My gawd
[Nexus 5 Android Development] TMHAKIM:
I can install android 11 but the thing is don't want to make my CPU go nuts android 9 has an decent app library and has 2019 patches unlike android 8.1

Update: I took your advice and install android 11. it runs okay on the phone but one problem how should i install updates it downloads it then it tells me that it will boot into recovery and install it but when it restarts my phone into recovery mode it does nothing i am running the Repartition'ed TWRP on my phone
[Nexus 5 Android Development] TMHAKIM:
A) I did clean flashes several times

B) Tried Lineage OS but minor problems it was okay but i wanted an issue-free ROM so it was removed

It mean that if the devs are still working on the "Android 9.0" rom fix the bugs but now switched to android 11 crdroid rom so i dont care much and the bugs are gone *phew*
[Nexus 5 Android Development] TMHAKIM:
can you add Gujarati language to the rom my grandma does not know english she only knows gujarati well i am running android 11 now :) :D
[Nexus 5 Android Development] dominoforever67:
Is this version compatible with Samsung S7 G930F?

Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] aamadorj:
I don't think so, because this is the Google Nexus 5 forum. I suggest you take a look a the Samsung Galaxy S7 forum: https://xdaforums.com/c/samsung-galaxy-s7.5122/
[Nexus 5 Android Development] AndroidDeveloperLB:
About 20211217 build, I don't know why, but I lost root. Is it hidden somewhere? Or I have to root it myself?

If myself, can you please remind me how to do it?Please?

EDIT: never mind. Had to rename Magisk APK file to ZIP, and flash it.

Do I need to do it sometimes, or just once?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] TMHAKIM:
If you have have an Exynos Version of the Samsung Galaxy S7 celebrate because you have android 12 support in your device forum if you have an Snapdragon Version then well no ROMs for it but it is not the end the world as you can install an GSI you can install GSIs of Android 9, Android 10, Android 11 or even android 12 if you want. check phhusson GSIs for the most stable experience but they must be compatible with your snapdragon CPU if you have one to check install CPU-Z and check your CPU

IMPORTANT: MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ANDROID 8 OR HIGHER AS GSI(s) WILL NOT WORK

If you want to install an GSI : Here

I am actually running ElementalX Kernel and works fine weird?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Mr.FREE_Bird:
If that's weird or not depends on which version you flashed... Did you perhaps install an unofficial version of ElementalX?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] TMHAKIM:
I don't know about that the kernel seems to improve the performance here's the link i got it from https://xdaforums.com/t/kernel-n5-blu_spark-elementalx-francokernel-android-10-11.4039499/
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Mr.FREE_Bird:
That's a new kernel based on ElementalX, it's basically an unofficial version of an old kernel made to work with newer versions of Android.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] TMHAKIM:
Oh I get it is unofficial do you know any other kernels for the nexus 5

The only one ROM under development. I really appreciate the update.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] OldoTRONic:
I couldn't believe my eyes when I took my good 'ol nexus 5 outta draw today and immediately after the boot it welcomed me with a new system update!!!

Thank You very much for keeping it alive! Much appreciated!!!

The best device I've ever had with the single best community I've ever known....Nexus 5

One question tho, where do I find the update file to install it manually, if autoupdate doesn't work, please?

(I'm installing latest twrp HHR as we speak).

Thank You
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ish.org:
Thank you for v7.15.

But my nexus5 seems to have reached the end of its life.

I could write crdroid successfully, but after, I wrote opengapps, it powered off suddenly even when I supplied an external power supply and more than 90% of internal battery charged.

The situation is the same no matter how many times I try.

It seems that the memory of hardware was broken.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] thiago_oliv:
is there any crDroid port for LG Nexus 5X (bullhead)? I bought a refurbished Nexus 5 (hammerhead) just because I knew it could run this beautiful ROM. But guess what? The seller sent a Nexus 5X... And the seller is Chinese, and returning the one I got would cost me the same amount of what I've paid.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Waldold:
There's an abandoned and outdated build of crDroid for Nexus 5X.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Yotoprules:
OK, I was able to install this ROM and Pico OpenGapps. But I cannot get past the "Google services" part of the setup.

I click "Accept"

Confirm my pattern which I setup on the first attempt.

I say "No, Thanks" to the face unlock, don't want that.

And then it loops back to the "Google services" screen.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] galapagos:
Just proceed with the face unlock option. Once you go through the setup, just turn off the face unlock option.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Yotoprules:
Thanks! Although I got around it by wiping the device, flashing the ROM again, and not logging into anything until AFTER I reach the main launcher/home screen. Then everything works as expected.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] LeSplendide:
Hey!

First, thanks for your work, I hope I will be able to enjoy this device I just got!

So I usually try to solve things by my own but right now I don't want to **** this up so could you take a look at my issue?

This is my first time flashing your rom!

I tried at first with TWRP 3.6.0 and maruOs installed, Error 1.

Then I flashed the stock rom and recovery, reflashed this TWRP, started the stock rom and same error.

So I tried the last one, 3.6.1, still no luck.

Restarted to recovery a few times, same issue.

Here is the log:

Spoiler content hidden.

Thanks in advance

EDIT: Just tried with twrp 3.6.0 Repartition version, same issue.

SOLVED: Don't pay attention, just another dumbass who doesn't read everything. I repartitionned my device and install went just fine.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] FabienGege:
hello everyone, thank you for your work. But I have a problem. Since I changed the partition I no longer have wifi. Tried several roms, reverted to marshmallow but nothing. Unable to activate WiFi. what can i do? thank you
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Crrrr:
Great work! Certainly the best existent custom rom for Nexus 5. I've tested several custom roms and this is easily the best choice.

It uses only 746 MB of ram on boot (compared to 837 MB Unofficial LineageOS 18.1, both no Gapps), while having more features.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] brick007123:
I found my old Nexus 5 in the drawer, searched XDA and thrilled to find out that there is still one active ROM going. I did a clean flash and can't believe how well crDroid v7.17 is running. Thank you hhrokarvi for your hard work.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] abcdef121448:
I have been running my Nexus 5 for the past year or so now with Lineage OS 18.1. Sadly development was discontinued was cancelled a while ago so today I decided to switch to crDroid. In the last few days I have had WiFi issues with it either not turning on or with crDroid now not finding any networks. I am not sure if this is a hardware issue or a software problem - does anyone has a clue what could be the problem or how i could troubleshoot it? The issues are not persistant at all Sometimes the wifi works and then it just randomly drops. I also noticed that when I turn on flight mode and then go to the settings to turn on wifi the settings app freezes - this makes me believe it is some software issue? I installed crDroid by wiping the internal memory and every other option with TWRP version 3.4.0-HH.R.7. I then ADB pushed the ROM to the phone, bootcycled and installed GAPPS. I will next try flashing a newer TWRP version and see if that helps my wifi issues.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] SirRGB:
I think z3ddr switched to newer wifi drivers or so, maybe @hhrokarvi has to adapt these changes too to make it work...
[Nexus 5 Android Development] abcdef121448:
I also had those wifi issues with LineageOS 18.1 sadly. I flashed TWRP 3.6 now and did another fresh install of crDroid and still have the same problem. I also saw someone on the other thread posting about the same issue.

I also had magisk, it isn´t existing on this current version but the issue persists. Mobile data also works flawlessly for me. How can I get a similar log file to see if my issue has the same basis?

EDIT: Oh also for some reason the camera app crashes with this ROM immediately when I open it.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] z3DD3r:
Install stock 6.0.1 and check. If wifi will not work then is it a hardware problem.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] dahawthorne:
Just out of curiosity I booted my N5. It started in aeroplane mode. As soon as I switched aeroplane off, within 3 seconds I was connected and browsing.

Hardware or installation problem, not the ROM.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] aamadorj:
I configured my router to use WPA2/WPA3 security and it seems my old N5 with crdroid v7 can't manage that, while all my other devices are fine with that configuration. So I had to create a guest network with only WPA2 security to be able to connect my N5 to WiFi.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] abcdef121448:
T

hat is a very good idea! I will try that tomorrow.

I don´t know what security the router I am currently using has - I am not at my house atm.

In the meantime a new problem has arisen and the phone just spontaneously went into bootloop after trying to get the wifi working - which makes me believe less again that it is a software issue. I recently replaced the USB port of the phone and it sits on a daughterboard with quite a few other things - also antenna contacts. I will try to reseat those. Let´s hope it´s not EOL - I wanted to have it for 10 years :(
[Nexus 5 Android Development] abcdef121448:
Getting the phone to stock Android 6 might be a bit of a problem. I downloaded the latest full OTA image from Google and I am getting Error 7 because it can´t install this package over newer build. I feel like I will probably have to downgrade the recovery - i did a full wipe again. I think before downgrading the recovery I will try another time with LOS 18.1 and the latest stable build.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] z3DD3r:
Just revert back to stock partitions and flash stock rom from google using fastboot.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] kiri87:
This fresh ROM works ridiculously well on my old Nexus5. Thanks a lot for the effort!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] LeSplendide:
Hello! I'd like to report an issue but I wasn't able to find anywhere on github to post it, so I'll go here.

Update through settings does not work:

The Rom get downloaded, but I can't find it anywhere to install it manually (even after using the "local installation" option) and automated install won't work.

Spoiler content hidden.

Of course, this is not a big issue, and I will download manually the update now.

As always, thank you for your amazing work, the rom is awesome.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] 19ho3in98:
Hey guys

I just clean flash this rom

But now i cant flash magisk

It says unsupported file format

I tried download multiple versions and tried a lot

Every time the same error
[Nexus 5 Android Development] hammerheadache:
I don't think your issue is ROM related. Did you follow the setup instuctions on the Magisk page? Since some versions ago, Magisk comes as an apk, so if you try to flash it as is in TWRP, of course it will fail!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] 19ho3in98:
Thanks mate

Yes i did try inside app it failed too
[Nexus 5 Android Development] dahawthorne:
Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but topjohnwu wrote Magisk very cleverly (IMO) as being simultaneously an APK and a zip, so you can flash the zip in recovery or install the APK in the OS. You can even rename it to uninstall.zip and flash it in recovery to completely uninstall Magisk. Very clever.

@19ho3in98 - did you manage to install Magisk in the end? The APK should install without problem, and there is always the alternative mechanism of extracting the ROM boot image, patching it via the Magisk app, and flashing the modified boot image in TWRP or OrangeFox.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] 19ho3in98:
No chance 😅

Yes apk is ok but cant flash magisk

But I dont know the second way you mentioned sir 😁
[Nexus 5 Android Development] dahawthorne:
@19ho3in98

This is a copy of advice I gave on PM to another member when he was having a problem similar to yours. It worked for him.

"There is a totally different way to install Magisk which maybe you haven't tried. It looks long, but isn't. Read the whole message below twice to make sure it's clear before you start.

- Rename the Magisk.zip to Magisk.apk

- Install it like any apk (A couple of versions ago topjohnwu merged the apk & zip. You can even uninstall Magisk by renaming the Magisk.zip to uninstall.zip and flashing it.)

- On your PC/laptop, open the crDroid zip and copy boot.img to your PC

- Copy this boot.img to your N5 (For reasons I don't understand, it won't copy directly out of the zip over to the N5)

- Open the Magisk app on the N5

- Magisk should show the app installed but Magisk itself not installed and will highlight "Update"

- Press Update and select "Select and patch a file"

- Find the boot.img you copied earlier and follow the Magisk instructions

- After a few seconds Magisk will give you the name of the patched boot image

- Now reboot to recovery and flash this new boot image

- Reboot"

@19ho3in98

Well, any luck?

[Nexus 5 Android Development] hhrokarvi:
Sad News.

Well, what I feared has happened.

My OnePlus 3T and Nexus 5 have expired.

I fixed my OnePlus 3T screen a few months ago but it was janky as best as I couldn't find a good quality display to replace it with. I'm now experiencing ghost touches that are rendering my device unusable, and I can't find a suitable replacement for it, nor do I feel like doing it as I will be spending more money than the phone's worth.

With Nexus 5 it's the power button issue. It was giving me issues since a few months but I would go by cleaning it with an alcohol dipped Q-Tip. Now it's not responding or fixing itself and I can't find a good fix for it as the phone is that old and there is a lack of replacement motherboards I can use for spare parts.

I'll be giving my phone's away to a recycling center in a few days.

I apologize for not supporting my phones for longer as I promised.

I suppose my maintainership for all these devices is EOL.
