Last time I used Swift backup and was able to restore about 90% of my user apps after clean flash without any problems.

Regarding the ROM update I can't give much hints on this topic as I am not an expert either and I am always overly cautious, but what I always do is that I remove magisk (there's an option for that in magisk app), format data, wipe cache, dalvik cache, data and internal storage, then flash new rom, gapps and magisk. Some people recommend always flashing newest available stock firmware/rom before flashing custom rom. I didn't do this once. Am I putting myself in danger by doing so? Note: You must clean flash for this update!

@GtrCraft Now with v9.7 going forward, any prediction if we are done with the clean fashing requirement?

Still on v9.5 here and hesitant to upgrade because I really don't have the time for a clean install. I mean I'll do it once I know that going forward a dirty flash will do.

Nope, maybe you have to clean flash with 9.8 or later. I can't predict google, crdroid or the device sources

[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] RAPTOR_6:
I have some issues with the new 9.7 release.

1. I could not get 9.7 to clean flash. I then clean flashed 9.6 and upgraded to 9.7, which worked.

2. If I set max refresh rate from 120 Hz (which is the default) to 60 Hz, there seem to be some heavy glitches from time to time (every couple of minutes) where it completely freezes any app you are in. It only freezes the app (even if the app is the launcher), I could still access the notifications. Turning the screen off and on again fixes the current freeze. When I set it back to 120 Hz, everything behaved as it should.

3. This might not be related to the OS, but when someone calls me I get no ring sound (it does vibrate tho). I tried changing settings under "Sound & Vibration", but nothing seems to work. The preview works fine (when I change the loudness). In call, talking is working. I have even tried a different Dialer app, but I still get no ring sound. Please let me know if this is working for you.

Note: I flashed the latest firmware prior to installing the OS.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jack404:
For point number 2, its widely known problem in every Custom ROM, I've faced it in every Custom ROM I installed in my phone, just use 90/120hz refresh rate and you'll be fine. Don't hope it will get fixed any time soon, since the problem already exist since the release of Android 13 if I'm not wrong.

This is what I use and there are no "glitches".
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] RAPTOR_6:
I had set min refresh rate to 30Hz and max to 60Hz on crDroid on Android 12 as far as I remember :). That worked fine.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jack404:
It would still be using 90Hz all the times, that's why you faced no freeze or glitch. You can check it with show FPS or something, I forgot what it's called in developer settings.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jack404:
As I've already said, the issue started on Android 13.

[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] PhantomPolygon:
Hi,

I'm still on version 9.5 of crDroid mainly because of the MIUI Camera. Gotta say that even though it wasn't the latest version, I never encountered any bugs that affected the overall usefulness of my phone - something that I'm happy with.

Just wanna ask if do you have an estimate on when will MIUI Camera be back with future builds?

Thanks in advance.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] SmartJuwel:
KernelSU is implemented and there exists a KernelSU-Module for MiuiCamera. I've installed this and it works well. You can find the Module in the Telegram group of this ROM...
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] PhantomPolygon:
Thank you for the information. Unfortunately, I prefer to have the MIUI Camera built-in with the ROM than have it as a module using either KernelSU or Magisk.

Guess I'll just have to stick with crDroid 9.5 until the MIUI camera comes back in a future build.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] m0han:
Are you running it on Surya/Karna? How? When I run the app, I see '..only supports GKI kernels now'.

[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] ruchimes:
I'm also in 9.5 because of miui cam.

Tried for 2 days to install miui cam in 9.6 and make my banking apps dont recognize magisk.

It was impossible. Sometimes I got to install the miui cam but the banking detected magisk, other times the miui cam didn't install...

So I stayed in 9.5

Is there a way to hide root that really works in kernelsu?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] brackenhill_mob:
Kernelsu works differently to other rooting solutions. Because it is at the kernel level, apps that look for the telltale signs of rooting (ie banks etc) don't "see" anything to object to.

I'm not saying that it is foolproof as I'm just a happy user and haven't done extensive testing, but none of the apps I use which used to cause me issues with Magisk have complained since I switched to kernelsu - and I will never use a ROM/kernel which does not support kernelsu in the future as I think it is brilliant

HTH
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] temporarium:
I, on the other hand, wish KernelSU was optional (and not included). I am a bit leary of this approach, which could very well turn into a very dangerous backdoor. Magisk is proven and from a trusted developer.

As for hiding stuff, of you read up on it, there is always a way of detecting a modified ROM, so if the app developers choose to, sooner or later your app will cease to function.

There is a reason for that. Banks don't want their apps' "secret communication" being monitored and somehow abused.

IMHO, either don't use such "delicate" apps (banking/payment), or don't root your phone.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] RAPTOR_6:
For me to hide Magisk from banking apps: use Zygisk Deny List (build-in) and "Hide the Magisk app". Both in Magisk setting.

Some apps will still detect root.

For those, use "Second space/Work profile/Parallel space" (whatever is called). There is a build-in method (under crDroid Settings/Miscellaneous/Parallel space), the other method is to install app "Island" or "Shelter" from the app store and configure it there. Once you clone it to the second space, the app will not be able to detect root anymore, since Magisk is not installed in second space.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] legedug01:
There is a magisk module name shamiko.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] ruchimes:
In that case is the perfect root method. Gonna try it.

And how can I install it? I've read before in the telegram is the file to install via TWRP. I'm going to investigate.

I tried everything: shamiko, zygisk, hide magisk, some others apps to hide, different version of magisk like delta... No thing worked.

Gonna try the parallel space
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] legedug01:
In my country, almost all banking apps can be open in magisk root gadget. There is only one apps that cannot pass my rule, that is "McDonnald" apps (not McDelivery).
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] brackenhill_mob:
You don't. It's already part of the kernel for this ROM

To use it you need to install the kernelsu APK from https://github.com/tiann/KernelSU/releases (you have to click the link to reveal all 94 assets as the apk is the last one!!)

HELP!!!!

I have been using CrDroid on my device for the past year or so but now I am unable to update the device to the latest version I am on CrDroid 9 | Android 13. The updater app says failed to download the update, when I tried to download the update from the official page the sourceforge.net website showed the following:-

Your connection is not private​

Attackers might be trying to steal your information from sourceforge.net (for example, passwords, messages, or credit cards). Learn more

NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID

sourceforge.net normally uses encryption to protect your information. When Brave tried to connect to sourceforge.net this time, the website sent back unusual and incorrect credentials. This may happen when an attacker is trying to pretend to be sourceforge.net, or a Wi-Fi sign-in screen has interrupted the connection. Your information is still secure because Brave stopped the connection before any data was exchanged.

You cannot visit sourceforge.net right now because the website uses HSTS. Network errors and attacks are usually temporary, so this page will probably work later.

is there another way to download the update?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] ruchimes:
Tried but as I am in crdroid 9.5, the app says I have an outdated kernelsu and won't work until I update it...

The only way you can do this is to install a different kernel that supports kernelsu. Alteratively install the correct kernelsu APK for the version in the 9.5 ROM kernel (I didn't think kernelsu was supported in the 9.5 ROM so be careful)

Yes, Magisk (not KernelSU) is the way to go. With Mr Wu working for Google, he can get the ins and outs of Android security better than anyone, and though he may be a bit "restricted" in what he can implement (though I believe part of his acceptance agreement is that he would be allowed to work unhindered on Magisk), still I'd rather give him access to my device than to someone else.

I installed when 9.5 released, clean install, and everything was perfect until couple weeks ago. Don't know what changed but now the battery doesn't last one single day. It usually lasted like 2 days.

If I install the latest version 9.8 I have to do it with a clean install, am I right? And for the nexts ones also would be needed a clean install?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] temporarium:
From 9.5 (if I remember correctly) you need to format data. It's hard to say into the future: if the developers don't switch source (again) then dirty flashes should work just fine (as it works be).

As to your issue, did you install any suspicious apps or change anything in the last couple of weeks? Still, moving to 9.8 (or wait a week for 9.9) is a good idea.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] ruchimes:
If 9.9 is releasing in a week I will wait for it. And I have a week to backup all data in my phone before the clean install.

I didn't install nothing in the last weeks so I don't know what happened. Today I put the battery saver on and I had a so much better battery performance: 2 hours of screen use and 55% left as I'm in the bed right now getting asleep.

Do you know if 9.9 will have xiaomi cam or leica cam? Or will I have to install them with root methods? I stayed in 9.5 because of the clean install and also because 9.5 had xiaomi cam without doing nothing.

Hello, I want to update from 9.4 to 9.9. I remember the maintainer saying that a clean flash is needed to update to 9.5 and onwards - is it true?

I don't remember the entire process of doing it all because I only update twice a year because it's time consuming.
