First time installing crDroid to your Redmi Note 5 Pro/AI, or coming from another ROM:

** Make sure you're running the latest TWRP Treble Recovery

1) Copy crDroid zip, gapps zip to your device

2) Boot into Recovery

3) Wipe cache, system, & data (or just cache & system for a dirty flash).

4) Flash ROM

5) Flash gapps

6) Flash magisk (optional)

7) Boot up

For root, AFTER you boot into the ROM, you can go back to recovery and install Magisk 21.x or newer (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

You tell me

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

- NamelessROM

Seems that system slows down when WLAN and Bluetooth enabled together.

[Edit] Problem gone.... Dont know what it was. Sorry for fake news !

It's ok!Other bugs?Can u also check if all subfolders on internal SD show their content?also does this rom have option to customize navbar buttons actions?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] douardda:
Just installed this version on a crDroid 6.9 install.

The upgrade went fine, but in the end the SIM card was not detected.

So I reinstalled it also wiping the data partition, now it looks to work fine (but i have to restore everything :) )

In any case, thanks,

David

Firstly , thanks for this excellent ROM .

I just wonder if all features on 6.12 android 10 ROM are present on this one , and if it is stable for daily work or not ?

Thanks again !
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] DrDeathlord:
This custom rom is perfect. But please don't suggest NikGapps, its so buggy. My face unlock was not even working with NikGApps flashed. Many other user experience similar bugs with NikGApps.

Use & suggest FlameGapps instead. Now my rom is quite stable with that.

Thank you developers.

Hello !

Thank you so much for this rom. its very stable.

I had a couple of questions and requests if that's ok!

I cant seem to enable show pill for android navigations will it be added in future ?

also can we install lawnchair with this rom ? given that we of course installed quickswitch too.

I also would like to know can you add a margin for quick settings icons and status bar icons ?

thank you!

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Janfi_FR:
Is anyone is experiencing bootloop after installation ?

I'm coming from Crdroid 6.12, clean flash. After flash with OrangeFox 10.1, phone is stuck on boot logo (more than 15 minutes). Zip installation file checksum is OK. After that :

- wiping and retrying without Gapps : same result

- wiping and retrying after OrangeFox updated to 11.0 Stable : same result.

I never had problem before when flashing 6.xx updates from recovery (but some bootloops when updating from OTA).

Luckily, I was able to restore my 6.12 OrangeFox backup, ATM everything is fine.

I will retry to move to 7.0, any advice in my situation ? Thanks.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] kos25k:
Use Orangefox 11.0 bro.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] temporarium:
I had a similar experience. Ended up coming back to 6.12.

It booted fine once after the flash and everything looked ok. But I needed to flash Magisk and that's when it got stuck on the CR boot animation.

Could it be some Magisk modules that are incompatible?

I'll try again when I have some time.

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] jazee:
Okay, I understand (what many others don't) that although the S20+ is listed as a 3X-30X zoom, the actual optical zoom is 1.08 so the focal length of the actual lens is basically the same as the non-zoom camera. This is unlike say the S10 5G which the actual lens of the camera is 2X. However Samsung makes up for this by using a 64MP sensor. This basically results in as good or better zoom shots up to about 5X zoom than a phone with a tele-camera with a 2X or 3X optical zoom lens but only a 12MP or 16MP sensor.

This is a bit astonishing considering the number of pixels decreased by the zoom factor squared when using digital zoom. So, the lowest zoom of the tele lens on the S20+ at 3X is essentially a 7MP sensor. 3 squared is 9. 64MP divided by 9 is 7.1MP. Compared to say the S10 5G which has a 2X optical zoom and 12MP sensor. So a 3X zoom for the S10 5G is a 1.5X digital zoom of the 2X optical. 1.5 squared = 2.25. 12MP/2.25 = 5.3MP. So you can see how the S20+ can keep up with other cameras with 2X or 3X optical zoom but only 12MP sensors. It's notable though that with 2X zoom, a camera with a 12MP sensor and a 2X optical zoom has a higher resolution image than the S20+ at 2X zoom since the S20+ doesn't have an optical zoom lens.

What's more interesting is the 64MP sensor on the S20+ has a 0.8um pixel pitch which means the sensor is roughly 9,500 pixels by 7,150. So at 3X zoom the sensor output is going to be digitally cropped to around 3,160 x 2,380. However no matter what zoom resolution you use, Samsung outputs a 4032x3024 size image, basically "faking" the resolution for all images taken at anything over 1X zoom. The file size goes down as the zoom goes up even though the image resolution stays at 4032x3024 because the JPEG compression algorithm basically can see it's a fake resolution (essentially a lower resolution source image interpolated up to a higher resolution.)

I'm not sure why manufacturers do this except for only from a customer satisfaction perspective as people would be complaining why their 10X zoom images are only 950 x 715 pixels. Yes, S20+ users, that is roughly the true resolution of a 10X zoom image from your phone. But consider on a 12MP sensor with 1X optical lens, that true cropped resolution is closer to 400x300!

The bottom line is the S20+ Tele Camera is basically equivalent in resolution to a phone with a 12MP camera with a 2.5X optical zoom because it's not actually an optical zoom lens. So Samsung's advertising it as a 3X "hybrid optic zoom" isn't a total lie, but 2.5x would be closer to accurate as far as the equivalent of an optical zoom on a 12MP sensor.

In reviewing tests images, to get the best images on this camera you just want to use one of the 3 cameras without manually zooming in. If you do zoom in on the tele camera, try to not go above 5X.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] Latoc:
And no true optical zoom = no depth compression and distorted perspectives. Portraits look like crap. Fisheye effect still there, only mitigated by the fact that only the central part of the view is kept. For real portrait you need a phone with a real 2x or 3x optical zoom lens. I should have known better before buying...
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] jazee:
It's especially ridiculous considering the low-end S20 FE has 3X optical (although with only an 8MP sensor). I can only think the reason was to create more of a separation between the Plus and the Ultra to better justify the higher price of the Ultra with the 3X optical + 108MP sensor. They should have just put the 2X optical on it from last year's S10 5G instead of a ridiculous 1.08X.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] Latoc:
I think the Ultra has a straight 5x zoom, like the P40 Pro. Useless for portrait (way too much zoom), so portraits are done on the main sensor with a crop to simulate a 2x zoom !

WTF !
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] jazee:
We're both wrong, it's a 4X optical on the Ultra. I was confusing it with the 3x "hybrid optical" zoom spec on the plus. "Hybrid Optical?" that's just another label for "Forced Digital Zoom." At least on the Plus.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] Latoc:
Samsung is not the only one, I just got myself a Sony Xperia 5 II, thinking the 3x zoom would make nice portraits, only to find out the quality was so bad it made me want to cry (900 euros). Upon searching for answers, I found out that it too is a crop, from a 20 mpx sensor this time...

At least if you get an iphone you have true zoom... I'm tempted. But boy do I hate iOS.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] sushant1thakran:
AFAIKl, the zoom lenses are used when the light conditions are optimal, also have an iphone and i can assure you, it also uses crop when the scene is underlit. So you are not missing on anything. But i can say, camera's on smartphone still suck (personal opinion: i use mirrorless for photography).
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] jazee:
Yes, I have an APS-C sensor camera for when I'm *planning* to take photos of important events, on trips, etc and I don't mind carrying it around (although it is jacket pocketable because it's an APS-C platform.) The problem is, in the practical reality of life, some of the best shots are very sporadic and unplanned and most people don't carry around their DSLR with them everywhere they go all day long like a woman carries a purse. I take way more photos on my phone than my camera because I always have it with me. So why not go for the best available, within your budget.

But yes, there is a whole younger generation that wouldn't even consider buying a digital camera anymore (except if they were going into the photography profession) as the camera's on their phones are more than adequate for snap shots they are just going to post on instagram, send via MMS, add it as a wallpaper or screensaver, or include in a Blog post and *maybe* print a 5x7 of.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] malimukk:
The reason for their decision to do this might be to enable 8K video recording as the 8K functionality uses the 48mpx sensor.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] Latoc:
That explains why the Ultra has a real zoom, as it can use the 108mpx sensor for 8K...

So we lost the zoom quality for portraits of our loved ones for a gimmick which almost nobody will use...

What a shame.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] sushant1thakran:
I liked samsung, when they included ir blaster, heart rate sensor and all kind of weird af stuff.

Hated it when they removed expandable storage from s6 and note 5 series but after note 7. I feel that they are less likely to take risks and try to compete with 2nd class brands like oppo and vivo which only focuses on camera for consumers. (No offense to vivo as they also spend a lot on research which include the first for indisplay fingerprint scanner and 2k screens, but they only showcase that tech on mobile world congress).

And at that time, phones used to be fun, the price was relatively affordable $600 as compared to $1200.

There are phases of popularity of features like there was phase when companies are competing on who can produce the slimmest phone. But now the phase is related to camera's, before this, it was the user experience, which made samsung to ditch the TouchWiz and come up with one ui. I was there on touchwiz for s7 edge and one ui with s8.

Also, i dont know how tech reviewers are able to get the awesome photos using auto mode.

Out of 30 pics only 3-4 are good photos.

[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] Network_Pro:
There are certain people who are capable of making it. Keep asking on The Internet and beyond, until you find something.

How does this authorization block flashing exactly? What about writing parts of the stock ROM files one by one, in the different modes? Second boot stage in EDL, rest of boot stages and OS/system in fastboot / download ?

Not sure what the restriction is exactly ?

Some sources can do things for as low as 20$ if not mistaken.
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] ccaye:
restriction is that firehose file made by xiaomi.

...not Android Auto.

In response to your questions: these are an obscure model for which there isn't any active development. They're also really buggy.

Have a think about buying a MTCD and being happy with the bugs, replacing with a certified Android Auto head unit or developing your own ROM.

I would like to know if any nows how to remove/disable the notifications of miss calls/text at the bottom tool bar of the 8125?

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] swdeason:
I found a solution by using dciNoBar.exe to hide the contact and calender softkey.

It also hides new text/call popup notification when they arrive, so now Touch Commander is the only program showing my missed calls/text.
