Hi,

I did a clean flash of 7.3 - I'm missing the gestures configuration under System > Gestures to activate it

Found it in crdroid settings ☺
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] NYNJ:
Call Record Option during Phone calls ... was in-built (into the app) Android 10 onwards

Clean installed crDroid 7.2 from crDroid 6.13

Followed the following steps:

1) wiped system, data, dalvik/cache

2) format data, reboot twrp

3) flashed fw_cepheus_miui_CEPHEUSEEAGlobal_V12.0.4.0.QFAEUXM

4) flashed crDroid 7.2, reboot twrp

5) flashed modded magisk, DFE

6) flashed Nikgapps Basic (used basic version: 20210130)

7) booted with No problems

7) flashed magisk 21.4 (1st thing after boot was successful)

Is this option not there or I missed a step?

Thanks

I use GCam version 7.3.018.291816413 with the config file from marian_mi9_v1.xml and I am fully satisfied with it
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] RealNBB:
magisk 21.4 can handle Android 11 straight away. Therefore the impasse about the mod variant is now unnecessary.

And you also no longer need dfe with the latest Twrp. your phone is not encrypted no.lw because of dfe.

all you need is the rom, nikgapps (and official magisk 21.4).

[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] ckarv:
Which TWRP version are you referring to?

I was always thrown into recovery when booting, if I didn't run DFE first. I'm on the latest mauronfrio TWRP.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] NYNJ:
Can confirm that; tried w/o DFE, always ended up into recovery. Found all nikgapps (basic) version after 20201214 lose the call record functionality in the phone app.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] ckarv:
How does one disable DFE to test if it works without it?

I'm having some trouble encrypting my phone, so it properly supports my work profile through in tune company portal.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] choukairi1993:
You were using the ROM since 06/02?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] RealNBB:
I'm using the official TWRP 3.5.0_9-0 from 12/28/2020 but normally the version from Mauronofrio should work just as well.

So here are the steps (I think you just forgot step 6.):

1.) Wipe "Dalvik / ART Cache", "Cache", "System" and "Data" (in "Advanced Wipe")

2.) Format data (the menu where you have to type "yes")

3.) Reboot into TWRP

4.) Flash ROM, Magisk 21.4 and Nikgapps (use option to wipe data and cache at the end)

5.) Reboot into TWRP

6.) Format data again (the menu where you have to type "yes")

7.) Reboot into System

8.) Enjoy!

[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] ckarv:
Two questions - but first, thanks @raystef66 for the work. Got 7.3 installed today, with full NikGapps, and no DFE.

1. Any way of fixing the below issue (red borders) without having Magisk installed? The issue I have is that intune Company portal detects my device as "comrpomised" when I have Magisk installed, even though there's no root enabled.

2. GPay: With Magisk installed I'm able to activate NFC for GPay successfully, however without, it doesn't allow me to enable payments.

So, the "universal" fix would be to somehow make Company Portal (and the separate work profile it creates), play nice with Magisk in the first place. That would solve all issues.

Let me know if any ideas, and thanks again!

One other thing, for people struggling with the boot loop after first install:

After reformatting data after installation, my phone got past the boot loop which I was experiencing earlier. Let's hope this is not an issue when updating to the next versions (dirty flash).

Edit:

FIX for Wireless Android Auto not working with Android 11:

Install the Android Auto Addon from NikGapps. Seems like it was not completely included in the even the "full" NikGapps package I installed.

Great ROM!😸

Fingerprint unlocking works properly.

Face unlock works fine.

Three finger gesture to take a screenshot also works.

Thank you, developers.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] groverXIII:
Noticing a couple minor glitches, both sporadic and difficult to reproduce. I do get occasional full freezes, where everything hangs for 15-20 seconds before it just reboots on its own, maybe one every day or two. More frequently, the back gesture sometimes doesn't work in an app until I switch out of it and then back to it. That's a pretty minor annoyance, in the grand scheme of things, and I don't know why it happens. Otherwise, the ROM works well, and unlike with the android 11 versions of Pixel Experience/Evolution X, wifi works.

short “beginner“ question: is it possible to dirty flash from 6.13 to 7.3 without any other flashing procedures, keeping all apps etc?

Thanks in advance
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] nicky-xda:
It worked on my device without issues, but i had to deactivate the decryption in the settings first.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] DavidRJ:
Hi there,

first of all great ROM, very stable so far.

I have a question for users of Android Auto with this ROM (USB to car, not just app):

How have you set it up to work reliably? I clean flashed the ROM, and the NickGapps AA addon. Android Auto kinda works, but very unreliable. Sometimes it disconnects randomly, showing communication error 11.

Sometimes the phone does not get recognized until I choose "file transfer" as USB mode. So what are the correct settings to make Android Auto work reliably? USB debugging on/off? Etc.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] ckarv:
Are you using AA wirelessly or wired?

I'm experiencing similar instability issues with my phone using wireless AA. Haven't tried wired. Same error 11.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] ai5g:
I have reported a problem with system sounds a few days ago, but didn't get any answers yet. Does anyone experience these problems or is there a solution to this problem?

All system sounds (ring tones etc.) include some crackling noises, but music players work normally. Also, I cannot find the actual sound files on the device.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] ckarv:
My sounds are okay. I do have the full NikGapps installed though, not sure if that includes some additional/different ringtones compared to yours.

Hi, first I want to thank the developer for taking the time to create such a great ROM.

I recently started testing CrDroid, started with version 6.13 and was totally delighted with this Custom ROM. Now I wanted to try the latest available (7.3), but I had a lot of trouble doing the installation.

In the end, it seems that this version does not support FlameGapps and the only way to get a correct installation is by using NikGapps. I hope that later there may be compatibility with other Gapps.

Excellent work, I will look forward to future updates.

So I encountered another problem with the AOD. If AOD is enabled my phone will not switch to deep sleep, instead the battery bleeds heavily.

Any ideas?

AOD is definetely bad experience in crDroid (and other custom ROMs). It can't be automatically switched off on schedule (even changing options with Tasker with root didn't work for me) or on low light conditions. Can't be customized and can't move clock around display to prevent burn.

I tried even some AOD apps from Google Play. Some have nice features but there comes battery drain. :-/ I recommend to turn AOD off.

Endlessly boot looping, tried several things and I can't get the latest version to work. I tried downgrading a few versions and the only version that I could get working was 7.1. anything after 7.1 would get stuck in a boot loop on a clean install.

Keep in mind that I didnt flash anything else while doing the install since I want to install microg later on.

Here are the things that I tried:

* Clearing data,system, cache, and dalvik cache, formatting data, rebooting back to twrp, and then installing the rom. This causes a boot loop.

* Clearing data, system, cache, and dalvik cache, formatting data, rebooting back to twrp, installing rom, rebooting back to twrp, formatting data. This also causes a boot loop.

* I tried the above steps again but while also flashing the force encryption zip file.

My setup:

I'm on the latest fw, and I am on the latest twrp.

I don't really know what to try anymore. I tried latest version of havocos, and it works fine, I tried 7.1, and it works fine. I was using previously 6.x and it was working fine.

If anyone has any idea on what I could try, please let me know 😩.

Excuse me for not making my self clear.

Only thing that isn't working is crdroid from version 7.2-7.3.

If I flash 7.1, it works, same with 7.0.

Flashing the stock global rom via fastboot works ok.

So when install DFE will it in any way prevent using such apps?
