Is this ROM still alive?
[Xiaomi Mi CC9 / Mi 9 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] KBOOM1:
I think this ROM is also abandoned, jut like LineageOS 17 (brought to us by coderzs). I'm going to assume that he's got things in his life that he needs to sort out, but he could had at least let us know that he's either taking a break or he's abandoning the project.
[Xiaomi Mi CC9 / Mi 9 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Barruel:
Luckily enough, there is no shortage of ROMs for pyxis these days.

There are pretty good ROMs out there that get regular updates. DerpFest, Bliss, Evolution X, ArrowOS and Underp are all rock solid and the first three have official status and as much features as you'll ever want, specially EvoX, which is the ROM I settled in after installing lots of them since I got the phone on March. Havoc was also very good when I tried it, but it has not been updated recently.
[Xiaomi Mi CC9 / Mi 9 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] cardonarico:
I hear you man , I have been following a similar path, since LOS has not been update, I switched to CrDroid (And to be honest , I just love it) but.... the lack of timely updates is getting me worried so , I am closely watching EvoX , I will monitor it for the next 2-3 months maybe and if I notice consistent updates (At least security patches) will move to it.

I am very thankful to both Coderzs (LOS17.1) and Gringo80 (LOS16) , they both saved us from the fangs of Xiaomi Spying Software but since there is no consistent updates, we need to move on.

I Am trying to get rid of Google 100% that's my concern with different ROMs and what takes me time to move on, both LOS and CrDroid are very easy to unpack and analyse, Will try to dismount EvoX soon for the same purpose.

Can you tell me about EvoX performance , noticeable bugs , etc as you have been using it as a daily driver ?
[Xiaomi Mi CC9 / Mi 9 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Barruel:
Hi.

Well, this is a bit OT on this thread, but I went with EvoX mainly because I never had a crash with it and because it had built in features which allowed me to get rid of standalone apps. It has battery charging control or Smart Pixels, for example, which I use.

I think it is based off PE and it has built in gapps, so getting rid of Google might require a bit of work. Underp is free of them and based off DF, which is developed by the same guy developing EvoX.

There might be bugs in EvoX, but I have never stepped into one. There is a thread for it you can check. I'm using it with brigudav's kernel because of idle drain issues, but the dev of the ROM maintains also his own kernel and he is going to release a new update soon. You can't ask for much more than that degree of commitment in a free ROM. It is guys like him who make phones alive. He also seems to be a nice guy in Telegram.

Hm, I am also hoping that this rom will soon have an update. But I don't know understand the complaining about the develope. So far [MENTION=3297592]coderzs[/MENTION] has done good work. But we are in the middle of pandemic. So there might be personal reasons for him currently not working on the rom. Caught COVID himself, maybe someone in the family. Also according to his profile he is from Donetsk which as far as I know is an area with conflicts going. A potential reason for not being able to work on this. So at the moment we can just wait and move to another rom, if we are impatient. Luckily the rom is currently in a stable and good condition.

[Xiaomi Mi CC9 / Mi 9 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] eingemaischt:
OK, that's really sad. I personally switched to crdroid because it looked to me like the best Open Source Android-ROM for my pyxis. I never ever thought that in lineageos (or crdroid) a port would depend on one person.

Often this is the case in oss-projects, but then it is at least theoretically possible that someone forks the project. Is this really impossible here?

Which ROM should I use in the future?
[Xiaomi Mi CC9 / Mi 9 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] cardonarico:
Look, I totally understand your feeling (and frustration).

concerning other ROMs , let me tell you what I am doing and maybe it serves you too.

CrDroid is pretty stable, it has been my daily driver since Coderzs posted its last version on May, well , even though it is July already , besides security patches this ROM is still serving me well.

Now, What I am doing , I am keeping an eye open on EvolutionX, and some other minor ROMs.

My feeling is , those other ROMs are not mature enough to even compete with this outdated CrDroid version. So all in all I will keep watching EvoX and some other ROMs and maybe, just maybe in the next 2 months , if Coderzs does not return to develop this ROM I will switch.

Concerning the forking, I thought about the same, the main problem is , Coderzs put a lot of effort on this ROM ( and particularly on the kernel too ) and as far as I know it is the only ROM enforcing SELINUX till now. Bottom line is , not sure if he is willing to share the code so somebody (or a group) could carry on.
[Xiaomi Mi CC9 / Mi 9 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] dirka12345:
If you're after ROM without gapps baked in, then I would suggest Bliss. It may look like there's not much going on here on xda, but its telegram group has hundreds of messages daily and dev is really friendly. It has some shortcomings at the moment like FOD not working 100% or headphones without mic not working, but these are common for all AOSP ROMs and I think it's close to be solved.

If you don't mind gapps in ROM you can also try EvoX (EvolutionX), I think it has already FOD 1.1 and I think I read headphones solved as well, but I'm bliss user.

All-in-all I don't think crdroid is better then these, at least for features I use bliss is more customizable, also cr was total crap when it comes to temperature/battery consumption (I used it for several weeks). Bliss is somewhere below 0.2% on idle, where I had even 5-6% battery overnight with cr and much higher temperatures. Guy behind Evox is also author of custom kernel used in both (I believe now probably all A10 based active AOSP roms).

Switching to an alternative ROM without losing program data is impossible, isn't it? :)
[Xiaomi Mi CC9 / Mi 9 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] limuc:
Whatever the CrDroid coder is said to be, I can't complain, the last release was on May 28th. runs without any problem for me, SeLinux works, CTS works, the device is rooted, all banking apps and Gpay work. I will stay with CrDroid for as long as possible. The only issue, the FM-Radio isn't working....but not really important.
[Xiaomi Mi CC9 / Mi 9 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] eingemaischt:
There was a release one week later - but that broke mobile data for me. I'm on the "end of may" release as well.

But staying on a deprecated release is not what I want to do.

I'm a bit confused - did codersz release all the source code needed and then deleted it, or did he hold back essential parts of it? For the first case someone may have a copy - maybe even github.com
[Xiaomi Mi CC9 / Mi 9 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] tigermess:
For me sharing videos does not work (Whatsapp, Google photos) and screenshare feature is at least unstable (random disconnects, cannot reconnect until phone reboot etc.). I sent coderzs catlogs like 3 months ago but it was already too late :) CrDroid is a good ROM, but should it stay stuck at this point of development, sooner or later I will move to other AOSP ROM.

BTW is there any universal guide how to flash another AOSP ROM? Like just format data+system+cache and then just flash FW+ROM... or is it ROM dependent?

What was your steps prior flashing rom and which gapps you use?

---------- Post added at 09:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:07 PM ----------

Format data (not wipe!) - reboot to recovery

Wipe system, data, cache

Flash latest Chinese weekly firmware ( not necessary but it better to be on latest)

Flash Rom

Flash gapps if not included

Flash magisk if needed

Reboot to system

The time on the AOD sometimes gets stuck and doesn't update until I've turned on the screen. The whole point of the AOD is to be able to check the time without waking the phone, so it's kind of annoying when I can't rely on that. Has anyone else had trouble with this?

A shame that this ROM is not developed anymore. Is there any other ROM which comes close to this?

Man , I have been using ArrowOS and I am very satisfied, don't expect all the features and bells and whistles like CrDroid but , It is developing actively , the Dev is accessible and a nice person. It took me a while to decide which way to go after Crdroid but I am very satisfied.

[Xiaomi Mi CC9 / Mi 9 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] DarkAngelGR:
Didn't know having a website makes you the most professional team, what about Evolution X , RR, ArrowOS, PE, BlissROM and etc. Translation is also present in EvoX and you can also help with translating it to your language. RR since it was recently re-released doesn't have crowding for now. The others ROMs should probably have crowdin so you can help translating them.

Hi all. I would ask about the max brightness of this phone. After I flash crDroid 7.5 (build 29 April 2021) I have the feeling that the screen is less birght at the maximum setting.

According to what say the last DotOS changelog (- Increased max brightness level) should be possibile to increase the brightness of the display. Again, any chance to have this improvement in crDroid?

How's performance in general ?

Any bugs ?
[Xiaomi Mi CC9 / Mi 9 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Valbatos:
everything work fine , not encountering any bug except sometime the phone turn off itself , FOD faster than previous version.
[Xiaomi Mi CC9 / Mi 9 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] stalvatero:
Just installed latest version with latest stable china firmware.

Performance are great, fast & smooth.

Battery seems really good, maybe like (or better) MIUI stock, but just one day it's a little bit to judge. Also AOD is working fine, and AOSP experience is in general wonderful.

But some tweaks are needed for a daily use, and i write them here hoping the OP can read and solve in future updates.

- I had to substitute an audio policy configuration file in vendor/etc to fix crackling audio in some scenarios (as whatsapp audio message)

- Bluethooth works almost fine, but my car system give me no signal while phone as it normally

- Also in bluetooth while i play music on my car system (using Youtube or Spotify) sometimes i hear a noise from car speakers. I had to stop and play music to solve.

- AOSP included Camera is nothing special and cannot profit by full hardware specs, but it's working fine. Installing a fully working GCam seems a little hard, because AFAIK we don't have a real working GCam for MI 9 Lite (CC) and the various versions have some problems. I tried several but no one really gratify me.

- FOD is almost terrible: slow and inaccurate. In some scenarios isn't indicated the sensor position so it's hard to find the correct screen point to tap

- Gestures are working fine but i prefer MIUI ones

- I hadn't no freeze and reboot, but some apps often crash (as Google Photo or WhatsApp)

- The bottom pillow on some app is dark on whit background and due to curves edges the effect is almost ugly (IDK if is Android problem or crDroid)

- Brightness sensor is inaccurate in low light condition and auto settings. Brightness goes up and down continuously. So during night i have to set manual mode.

- Sometime also in MUTE mode, some app produce sounds

- Sometime swipe-up gesture to go home do not work until i restart phone

Not all those are very critical points, but in every day use i think are a little annoying.

Anyway the work is great and i should make my congratulations [MENTION=2674483]Coderz[/MENTION], hoping he can solve those problems.

OP should be updated !!!

Wipe system, data, cache and format data, then reboot to recovery - DO NOT FORMAT DATA in TWRP

I just spent about hour and a half fixing the damage after formatting the data.

Solution ( assuming that you have the original stock rom backed up in TWRP - full backup ):

- Flash stock recovery

- Wipe data using stock recovery

- Flash TWRP

- Restore previously created backup in TWRP

- Do factory reset with TWRP ( under wipe settings )

- Reboot and wait for setup to complete

None of these steps were unable to be completed in TWRP ( after format data ) since it always complained that it cannot find /data nor mount it. Also, crypto folder could not be found.

No rom would start properly including the original stock rom. It just gets stuck on boot animation.

Hope this helps.

P.S.

Ill try again now to flash this newly updated rom and post here the results.
[Xiaomi Mi CC9 / Mi 9 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Reentry310:
I've tested this version of the rom and I can say that you've fixed the bluetooth issue. From my experience this is the first Android 10 rom that has bluetooth audio working reasonably well. Props to you dude. The latest "stable" release of MIUI (Android 10) has bluetooth audio still broken lol.

---------- Post added at 06:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:59 AM ----------

Yeah, if you format the data partition all weird stuff happens. Like it doesn't mount properly and when you try to install a rom it gets stuck in a bootloop. I had to reinstall all the firmware using fastboot in order to resolve this issue. I got this rom to work by just using the classic wipe data functionality (NOT FORMAT). I'm not sure what this is an issue with, it could be that the official TWRP has an issue. When I use the format data issue on my other devices it works without that issue with it being unable to mount the data partition.

P.S I am running the "Official" TWRP for the Mi 9 Lite.
