Hello. Maybe I am writing at a wrong place, but this issue also happened with this ROM too.

I have a next issue: after flashing custom ROM (tried this ROM with clean install and LineageOS 11.0) every time after flashing all works fine, just before screen lock (by timeout or via button), after this screen unlocks for a few seconds and goes dark, after double screen unlock it happens again and again, reboot helps and screen works normally just before first lock. And then it happens again and again, seems it happens with any custom ROM.

Has another redmi 4x which flashed in same way with this ROM and Lineage OS, and it does NOT have this issue... But other two redmi 4x motherboards gots this issue.

Also, stock MIUI works fine on this devices.

Seems after flashing any custom ROM "persist" partition become corrupted, and after flashing stock MIUI ROM I got a messages about "Find device storage is corrupted", it can be easy fixed via flashing "persist.img" via OrangeFox recovery and MIUI ROM works normally after this. But after flashing custom ROM again all those things become again. In developer options OEM Unlock and Mi Unlock in Unlocked status... Maybe someone can help me in this problems? Or, maybe suggest me, where I can start with advanced research?

Please help me. I have stuck with setting up LTE data connection.

I have two sim cards. One of them has properly working LTE/4G connection, the other does not work under crDroidAndroid 7.x. The SIM is from a new supplier, needs to setup a new APN, switch on the LTE to its SIM and it should work.

LTE/4G is working on both with the latest stock rom. I think even the necessary APN appeared in the settings menu after I installed the stock rom.

I have made a full backup of the working stock ROM, installed crDroid again, tried to setup LTE, but no luck. Restoring EFS does not help.

*#*#4636#*#* lists LTE networks for both cards.

LTE works well when I switch mobile data to other card. Swapping the sim cards makes no difference.

I don't need VoLTE in the first round, however it would be nice feature later.

What should I try in the next step?
[Xiaomi Redmi 4X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] goss85:
LTE works with both SIM cards with the latest (20211216) version. I don't know what was the real solution... I have installed the stock rom again (to make screenshots) and tried to put back the crDroid from the backups I have made. The restore process was not successful, so I have wiped dalvik/system/data/internal storage/cache/vendor and installed crDroid from zip. Maybe the only difference was that the SIM cards were in the phone at the first startup.

Thank you for this great rom! I really like it!

crDroid 7.13 In latest version any touch of fingerprint reader always wakes phone up even when it should not. I don't have a screen lock (screen lock = none). I had to go back to 7.12
[Xiaomi Redmi 4X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jabieff:
Yes, read changelogs, I added this feature. Its usefull for me and many users.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] McJohn.br:
I installed CrDroid 7.11.

I used it for almost a month !

I liked it !

It had several flaws, such as:

The light oscillates between 25% and 50% every 20-30 seconds .

In the evening we activated the "Do not deraja/Sleep" option. That didn't work.

Notifications were heard, when I was receiving messages at 1-2 at night.

Of course, if someone called me at 5 o'clock, the phone sounded normal , although it was set without sound until 7 o'clock.

The GPS function did not work on some apk !

But the battery she is consuming about 40-50% when I was at work. (I work in a concrete hall + a lot of iron. The signal is reduced 20-50%.)

I upgraded to 7.12 ! Big mistake. The phone stayed in the bootloop , probably 30 minutes.

I installed the 7.11 again. I went into the browser, downloaded 7.12 and installed it with Orange Fox.

But version 7.12 consumes the battery very quickly. I went back at 7.11.

I used 2 years Havoc 2.X . A very good ROM. But it had only one flaw. When I wanted to open an apk, she stuck. Apk had to be forcibly closed, only then could it be opened. Annoying !

I have used this ROM before and as far as i know there was another launcher. In which version did you switch it to pixel and is it possible to return the old crdroid launcher? I didn’t run any tests, but i noticed that the old version (before the december updates) was less greedy on battery power. Сorrect me if i'm wrong pls. I would like to use all the best from all versions of this launcher

hi @jabieff i wanted to report that system ui has been crashing with the 7.13 version. this happens everytime when the settings shortcut in the status bar is tapped. it also happens at other random instances. i noticed the device also gets very hot which wasn't a problem in the previous 7.11 version. maybe the processor gets overloaded? i hope this issue can be looked at.

Hi everyone!

I need to use my second phone waiting to sell primary to buy new one. As always i use my beloved santoni Redmi 4x 16gb - 2gb ram.

I must say i'm absolutely amazed how can you make roms 10-11 android for this device. I really love this community. My redmi 4x is the realle low end of the gamma. I tried last crdroid but i had some issues (with gapps, because gapps for android 11 i saw are not officials, so maybe is that). I ma trying so now the crdroid 6 (don't remember the release but the one everybody said is great) and i must say i'm amazed. Of course is slower than my realme 5 pro but...not much slower at all. I must say it's extremley smooth, fluid, pleasant to use. Everything is working amazingly. Fingerprint, gps, battery, everything. I love you
[Xiaomi Redmi 4X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] eM-!3:
Also have this problem but only short after reboot. Later on settings start to work fine. Maybe it's because I use different way to access settings.

I have no issues with device getting hot but I'm using Nova launcher instead of default one from crDroid.

[Xiaomi Redmi 4X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] gtaprdx:
Hi @jabieff and all,

First thanks a lot for the awesome work.

Could we make a status point regarding FPC fingerprint on Redmi 4X Santoni:

1- can you confirm it won't work for encrypted devices, for both crdroid 6.X (Android 10) and crdroid 7.x (Android 11) ?

2- regarding this comment above in this thread, does the sentence "FPC fingerprint dead on some users" mean that FPC fingerprint is actually working for some other users with device encrypted ?

3- for people willing to encrypt their device and use fingerprint, do we have any workaround, e.g. the one here (not tested) or the one here (not tested) ?

Thanks

EDIT 1: FPC fingerprint not working on encrypted devices is a known bug of crdroid 7.13 (reference: crdroid santoni telegram); Santoni comes with two kinds of fingerprint sensors: FPC and Goodix (which seems to work better, to be confirmed). To know what is the fingerprint sensor on your santoni, use the "Device Info HW" app.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ajthealchemist:
hi devs of this wonderful ROM! the flash option and other options in the stock camera app for 7.13 is disabled when in picture mode (see screenshot). for other modes like video, flash is enabled.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] g4398:
Hi @jabieff ,

thanks a lot for crDroid@4X, it's awesome!

I started with 7.3 and MindTheGApps (non-lite), worked fine together, and updated fine up until 7.9.

But after updating to 7.10 and reboot, 'System UI stopped', with several other parts too.

I dirtyflashed 7.9 back, phone works well since, but 7.9 is outdated now.

Is it right, that I'd need OpenGApps for proper update and operation?

The 12th paragraph of OpenGApps Wiki FAQ says, that in order to switch to OpenGApps from another GApps provider without any loss of data or app settings, I need to (from Recovery - In the order listed):

1. Manually wipe (format) your System partition

2. Flash ROM

3. Flash Open GApps package

4. Wipe the Dalvik & cache

5. Reboot

Contrary, the Flashing Guide of OrangeFox explicitly does NOT suggest to wipe System.

Both team surely know what they are talking... Well, I don't really.

So.., is it OK to follow the steps above?

If yes, let me ask:

1. Which package of OpenGApps should I flash instead of MindTheGApps Non-lite? Nano has similar size.

2. What is better, wiping or formatting of System partition?

3. Don't I need to reboot OrangeFox anywhere between the steps, do I?

4. Can I flash 7.13 right away, or is it more safe to flash the current 7.9 first and update afterward?

Thanks for answer in advance!

Hmm, after installing K9-Mail and turning notification lights on, no LED blinking when a new email arrives. Can anybody confirm this on 8.1 or earlier releases?
[Xiaomi Redmi 4X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dennon27:
Just done upgrading from 7.13 to 8.1 (Beta), so i thought i share experience after using it for couple hours:

-before upgrading I've updated OrangeFox recovery to 11.2_2 and made full backup

-following Jabieff guide upgrade went absolutely smooth and without any hiccups

-all apps, unlock pattern and fingerprints persisted the upgrade

-overall ROM seems a little bit more responsive than 7.*

-at the moment v8.1 lacks some major features compared to 7.13 namely face unlock, fingerprint unlocking without vibration or blacklisting call records in music player but i'm sure those will be added in the future updates.

Thank you Jabieff for your work.

Jabieff, updating to today's release (v8.1 2022.01.23) breaks USB tethering. Had to roll back to v8.1 from 2022.01.16.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] lbt:
I tried jw96's workaround from the second link, but it didn't solve the issue unfortunately.

Wiping /data in OrangeFox completely wipes internal storage, and removes encryption. Not good.

Then tried TWRP 3.6.0 which is able to actually decrypt /data. Wiped /data (and other partitions as suggested), encryption remains, but fingerprint does not return.

And people in the telegram chat said that flashing persist.img doesn't solve it (the workaround from the 1st link), so I did not try that. Some other forum posts on other devices warn that you could lose IMEI and WIFI MAC when doing that, not sure about Santoni/Redmi 4X.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] eM-!3:
After I saw your post I started observing battery life in current crDroid on my own device. I think you might be right. My own solution was to install LSpeed (https://github.com/Paget96/LSpeed - needs root) and it increased my battery life significantly which means that default settings in this ROM are more tweaked to performance than battery.

I've been using the latest v8.1 for two days and I liked it.

A few apps I want to see in the future v8.x build:

- Camera: The camera app from v7.14 has HDR feature, useful for taking photos in low light without enabling flashlight.

- Gallery: The gallery app from v7.14 (QuickPic Gallery) has more feature than the default one in the current v8.1.

- Weather service: The current v8.1 doesn't have weather service or I can't find it.

EDIT:

Just found out something keep using the bandwidth for 0.29kB/s even with a clean flash.

I'll go back to v7.14.

I'm still on 7.16. I have a question to other crDroid users but also to all Redmi 4X users as well. I've tried using different headsets and I see (or hear) that microphone volume is very very very low. Other problem is a lot of noise from headset during phone calls. Obviously I can go into Audio Amplification settings and increase microphone audio gain and decrease headphone gain to fix both issues but that's a poor solution as it will affect phone's mic and volumes as well.

Can't encrypt my phone by ROMs settings - phone gets into bootloop as soon as I run the process, orangefox asks for decryption password and it successfully decrypt storage, but I can't install another ROM without formatting data.
