As far as I know, you didn't have to format your data. You could just go into the filesystem through recovery and delete the password file, which would remove the lock.

Here is a nice guide I've successfully followed some time ago. The method is still same or similar in 2022.

hi,

i use 2 sim cards but i cant send sms via one of them (sim no. 1). error 29. does someone have a solution for this problem? the other sim works without problems.

in sim card options, on sim no. 1, no phone number is noted under "phone number on sim"

i tried another message/sms app but this does not solve the problem

another thing: after (re)boot when not entering the sim pins instantly (about a few seconds) nothing happens when entering the sim pin.

i am on redmi 4x santoni, android 12/crdroid 8.5

i cant switch the sim ports because then mobile data does not work ;D (currently sim 2 is for mobile data)

So, I've installed this ROM with TWRP recovery and I really miss the fingerprint sensor

-------Edit-------

after a lot of testing you can enable fingerprint sensor with this twrp

twrp-3.6.2_9-0-santoni.img

after installing boot on recovery FORMAT ALL DATA and USER DATA (internal storage) and reboot

also tested a lot of roms the best i can find about battery and performance was cr Droid Android 11 charging speed and max battery seems broken ? flashed quick charge mod all works great .

thanks for the nice rom !

[Xiaomi Redmi 4X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nicnieteges:
Hello. Thanks for maintaining this ROM, I really like it so far.

However, I ran into a problem. I can't boot the v8.5 when I set up secure lock.

Eye of Horus animation stays forever and device never completes the boot process.

Steps to reproduce:

Boot into fastboot, flash OrangeFox R11.1_5 recovery image.

Run OrangeFox, wipe the device, reboot into recovery.

Install crDroidAndroid-12.1-20220514-santoni-v8.5.zip, reboot to system.

Perform initial setup, install Magisk v25.1 APK.

Patch boot.img from crDroidAndroid zip with Magisk app.

Reboot into fastboot, flash Magisk-patched boot image.

Reboot into system, verify Magisk and SU is working - working correctly.

Set PIN lock screen code, asks me for secure lock - i choose YES - reboot.

System now will fail to complete the boot.

Go to recovery - I can unlock the device just fine.

It's worth adding that I don't mess with "force encryption" flags, I just leave (forced) defaults.

I'm running out of ideas. Am I missing anything here?

EDIT: It seems to be only a problem with encryption in Android 12 - v8.5. I installed Android 11 - v7.19 and it doesn't have this problem. The behavior is a bit different - v8.5 shows me that the device is encrypted right after installing it and won't boot after setting up secure lock. v7.19 says the device is not encrypted and offers an option to do so. After encrypting it reboots and only then you can setup secure lock.

I installed this rom to my dougthers Redmi 4X phone 3 months ago.

I liked it soo much, it runs smooth and stable.

Last night I checked call history of the phone and there was 2 suspicious phone calls to an abroad (IRAQ) number at midnight.

I asked to my kid, she did not made the calls and the call time was midnight.

Probably it is due to a third party app installed, but I'm going to change the ROM anyway kids safety comes first...

Is there a way to find what app made the call ?

After crDroid 7.21+ and 8.8+, encryption users need clean flash ROM with format data, because encryption switched FDE to FBE for more comfortability and security. Your device is encrypted, need to do this.

I have version 7.20. After updating by ota to version 7.22 the phone caught the bootloop, I waited 30 minutes and android hangs on the crdroid logo. I had the same problem when trying to update a version 7.21 from 7.20.then i waited an hour and result was the same stuck on crdroid logo ,so i come back to 7.20. The only way after bootlop is enter via power + volume to recovery and installation 7.20. I also tried to update 7.21 and 7.22 from 7.20 directly through recovery and the same result (stuck on logo).is there any way update to a 7.22 or just completely fresh instalation with all data and application loss is solution?
[Xiaomi Redmi 4X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] snyperius:
I've tried to encrypt my phone several times, but it gets stuck during the encryption process, so I've had to reinstall the ROM (7.22, clean install) several times, but the result is the same. The first time it got stuck with "time remaining 1:10" (started from 4:50, went down in about the time it said it would), then 50, then 40. I've tried it with 7.21, and the same thing happens.

Before starting the encryption process, it says it will take at least an hour, but it took none of my devices that long ever.

Is it a bug, or am I just too impatient?

Edit: After a while, it also shows an error message that says "System UI isn't responding" with options to close the app and wait, neither of which does anything.

On stock rom, twrp-3.6.2_9-0-santoni and rooted with Magisk 25.2. Phone works fine. No encryption and no fingerprint configured (just pin). I specifically checked in settings and "encrypt phone" is not activated (and it never was).

Wiped absolutely everything from TWRP before flashing and I still get the "Encryption unsuccessful" message. "Encryption was interrupted and can't complete..." WTF? What encryption?

The only option is erase all data and this takes ages (after 5 minutes still not done).

Edit: 15 minutes and still not finished...

Edit 2: ok so after about 20 minutes it went briefly in TWRP then rebooted again... only to show the same error screen. Again, the only option is "Erase all data". Gonna do it one more time, then try a different rom.

Edit 3: I am very enthusiastic so I am going to post this here: I did try a different rom, because the second "erase all data" took me again to the same error. And this rom blew my mind... Admitedly, regarding crDroid, I might have messed somehing on my side - thus, the proverbial error "between the touch-screen and the chair" :). I might have not wiped/flashed (?) completely the card before installing, I only wiped Dalvik, casche etc the usual - not sure if that was the problem. But maybe the developers should give some more clear hints about what is needed.

However, for those looking for a good rom, I can suggest Havoc-OS-v4.16-20220423-santoni-Official-GApps.zip with twrp-3.6.2_9-0-santoni.img amd Magisk-v25.2 (magisk is downloaded as apk but for flashing rename to zip, works as both apk and flash image). This is an Android 11 rom but installed flawlessly, fast, with no problems and apparently everyhing works.

From my own experience you can update without any problems. But it's always more safe to backup before update no matter if you update Windows, Linux or Android device. That makes you 100% sure that even if something brakes you can go back to last working version.

There is a new version 7.28 released on March 26. Update from 7.25 wasn't butter smooth for me this time. Device entered boot loop but I've managed to sort it out by myself withhout reading any info how to do it. What did I do? I've stopped boot loop by pressing power button. Device entered by itself into OrangeFox recovery. There was a red colored error about cache partition problem. I've rebooted into Android, thankfully it worked. There was a info about failed update. I went into update app and made update file into zip. I've rebooted into recovery. In OrangeFox I've choosen update zip file and installed it. After it was finnished I've cleaned cache & dalvik as usual. Then I've rebooted and everything is OK with 7.28 installed.

In release notes on Telegram there is a info:

- Clean flash with format data NEEDED for encryption users after 7.21+, also flash this zip after flash ROM.

So if I get it correctly crdroid after 7.2 uses new encryption by default which creates a lot of issues even for people not having encrypted phones . I managed to install 7.2 after failing a few times with 7.28 and now my data are encrypted even with 7.2 (probably converted along the process), but fingerprint unfortunately doesn't work :)

So my option are the following

a) disable the encryption? (is there a way in crdroid?)

b) format my data, install 7.28 and then the small patch file from here .

Do I have other options in order to have a functioning fingerprint sensor?

I have a few questions that I can't find an answer to.

I installed CRDroid. Everything went wonderfully.

Now I don't know if I still need to install Super Su and BusyBox like it used to be.

My last flash was 2017 ;) Then I always work according to an Internet manual.

TWRP the last one is of course also on it.

I hope the questions are acceptable and don't bother anyone.

Hi, all. Asking because it's been a while since I last dabbled with custom roms but I found my old 4x. What would be the most stable version (specific build date) for it now? I will just be using it as a device for watching. Even better if it has the highest Android we could have.

I've checked and there's both crd7 and crd8 versions. I see 7 has a more latest update but I'm wondering if 8 is more stable now?

Also, I notice talk about Encryption now and I've read a little about it. Would anyone mind telling me what to look out for when flashing a rom related to encryption? What is it?

Thanks.
