Hi, I think this rom is based on android 11, right? does it allows installing call recorder? As from android 9 google restricted on auto call recording to record phone call conversion but sometimes I need to record like phone numbers and other information to keep in writing doc later.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Letitride:
Hmmm, yes - crDroid V7.5 is based on Android 11, as noted by OP's first post. Here's a screenshot from this rom as installed - kernel is 4.9.261-sleepy

As for whether one is allowed to install "call recorder" - I do not know which App you are referring to and wish to use. But, I did randomly pick one from the Play Store and installed just fine ... one that allow recording call info, incoming/outgoing, or ???
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] software_ss:
Actually I mean if the call recorder works. I installed app named "call recorder" in original rom.. it installed but no call conversation was recorded.

There's a new kernel release r258. You could try installing that.

I haven't tried this with crdroid 7 yet, but crdroid 6 works perfectly.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Letitride:
Thanks, I appreciate that info. Well, I can report that using it seemed okay but the screen froze in my pocket (video running ??) after I put it away - it was pretty warm with the case. I'm now on the earlier r254 ... and so far, it's fine. Video ran smoothly from within Youtube for last 2+ hours while I'm doing something else on my Pixel 3a. The stock kernel that came with the crDroid 7 also okay after minor initial issues - giving it time to settle down, update all the apps, rebooting seemed to resolve most issues. SOT and battery standby, seemed to be somewhat less (shortened) vs. Havoc or stock rom, let's see how the #'s look after a few full cycles.

On the slow charging, it seemed that it will - with a good charger & high quality usb cable, it will fast charge initially, but eventually slow down to a trickle once it's near 90 to 100% capacity ... not a deal breaker for me. I'll play with my 1/2 dozen assorted OEM chargers to see if I can find one.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] mxb93:
Not sure if it's the same bug as others are experiencing:

I have playback issues for nearly everything containing audio. Most times playback won't start at all. The progress bar stays at 0. Whenever it actually starts everything is fine.

I tested with crdroid music, vanced (both music and video) and poweraudio pro.

Strangely ringtones and alarm clocks were never affected and always played fine. Sometimes restarting Android is a temporary fix.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] minisup:
Hello everyone,

I've installed this custom rom. I would like to ask if you also have encountered this problem.

It seems like when I charge it all the way up and unplug it it drains the battery very fast. I found out it goes into deep sleep only 23% of the time (overnight, after being charged to 100%). I also checked that the main process working overnight was 'logd'. The battery dropped from 100% to 75% from 8pm to 8am (I barely used this).

What actually helped was a reboot. But it seems just a temporary solution.

Has anyone experienced a similar behavior?

[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Letitride:
Hmmm, I wish I know your answer and/or can help. But, it could be the GPU and/or codec issues running custom rom on our A2Lite. Did you have any issues on stock rom, whether it was on Oreo or Pie (I was on that, everything ran just fine) until I got fingers happy to go ahead & play these custom roms.

For the past week, most of my video playbacks are fine from Vanced & stored MP4 on the mSD card. Some of the video links within FB or other apps have trouble opening or running, blurred video screen lines & just won't lauch. Rebooting sometimes do seemed to help, sometimes, by resetting whatever ??? Maybe the (sleepy) kernel isn't fully awaken - I dunno & even I can running any logcat, not the person to read the data to try to interpret what might be happening.

SOT, battery life & overall functionality are pretty good (battery health is 85% per AccuBattery after the newly installed rom settled down - see post below for "stats")
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Letitride:
Hello & welcome to XDA from an old-timer. First of you, how new/old is your A2Lite - what is your battery health? as it is sometimes not easy to compare orange, apples & pineapple, etc. I'll share & post my stats below for a bit of comparison and reference (YMMV, as depending # of installed apps & what's running, etc.)

Mine is 2 years old & using AccuBattery App (free, download & install from Play Store) - 84% battery health (3,380 mAH) of its original design capacity (4,000 mAH rating) My SOT (Screen on time) is typically a little over 10 hours, Standby/Screen off time is over 180 hours with Combined use, around 70 hours (3 days) - all depending on usage. Adaptive Battery is enabled, last full charge was 8 hours ago with 1:03 screen usage (time) and battery is 85% now, with about 2 days left - in dual sim standby mode but mostly connected to WiFi signal for data.

Battery dropping 25% over 12 years on a full charge, do, seem, to be a bit excessive if your battery is in "good" health at 80% or better running typical apps, without excessive background uploads & auto-updating of apps, backup to cloud storage, etc. Apps like FB, Messenger & WeChat, etc. are know to be "battery killers" as certain "default" permissions enabled & unchecked, they are running all the time and not cool.

"Unrelated / Updates" VoLTE enabled on AT&T's network and was able to make a brief outgoing Wi-Fi data call over Google Voice as a quick test. VoWiFi from IMS Status showed that it is UNavailable and that is a problem for the T-Mobile (USA) network with one of my active Sim - that's an unrelated issue which I will look further into in the coming days.

please stay support this ROM
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] minisup:
Thank for the response. I don't have FB, Messenger, Whatsapp, etc, microg installed, but I don't have any google services, except Aurora Store). I found out that after charging it drains the battery very fast (doesn't go into deep sleep at all and the battery drain is at 4.5-5%/h). What helps is a reboot. After a reboot the battery drains at around 2.5%/h, it goes into deep sleep without a problem.

What could be a reason for that? Any bugs? I don't want to reboot my phone after each charge :D I'd appreciate any suggestions.

[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Letitride:
Hi, M - since I am not the Rom's developer just an end-user that's been around since the early Motorla mobile (analog) telephone days, I am just wondering if it has to do with apps & play store "framework" coming from Aurora instead of Google and associated "codings"

But, I assume that you prefer and/or has easier access to apps from Aurora from your geo-location, or a matter of personal choice, for whatever reasons. Question is, how was the battery wear & drain when you're on the stock rom (Android 11 or 10, or 9 before) - has this custom rom make it worst, a lot worst, or you aren't sure.

I've been running crDroid 7.5 for about 3 weeks now, and it's been fairly stable and I am happy with it, overall speaking. This has been my experience & results: SOT is over 11 hours, with Screen off around 210 hours - for a combined use of 60+ hours; and, my battery health is about 84% (AccuBattery Pro) Average battery use is 0.5% per hour (Adaptive battery is ON and Display brightness is set at 50 to 70% mostly) - in short, standby time is very good compared to our other Motorola, Pixel/3a/3aXL, and an old Nexus 6P by Huawei.

Take a look at the AccuBattery data/results that I've posted here.

I have quite a number of Apps installed, some do run in the background but some are disabled or limited for better battery "drain" while inactive. I know, from experience, that "WeChat" is one of the worst offender (which I don't use but installed with an overseas account, that I configured to not run or access data/WiFi). I am mostly on a solid WiFi signal but do sometimes stay on cellular signal when outside & traveling ... as that could affect "your" battery's status & wear after a full charge.

Go to your device's "Settings" and check the information under Battery, see if it is reporting anything ususual. Look under your Apps to see what's been running and tweak, fine tune how they "behave" - maybe you can discover something.

From your descriptions, it does sound like it is draining and dropping too fast if everything else are set properly - even if you reboot it after a full charge, something is hiding and running in the background. Do you upload files or backup to a "cloud" storage or server - some of the news app and/or social media app, i.e. from Baido could be doing this without your informed approval & permission, with its default settings as installed, if you are running them - check & change it, turn them off.

Last but not least, try a clean re-install of this app (after backing up & saving your data, settings .... I know, it is a pain & time consuming) as it might help. Good luck & do post again if & when you find something, or not.

ccrDroid 7.6 yes mi a 2 lite?????
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Letitride:
Yes, I can confirm that crDroid V7.6 has been released for this month - it's OTA and I downloaded directly, installed & successfully reboot ... and working. So it's a dirty flash, upgrade without wiping or losing data & settings. Smooth & running fine thus far - without flashing TWRP again, apparently, both slot A and slot B were patched.

Google Photos thinks that this is a Pixel smartphone ...
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] O SAPHIA:
There is a serious flaw with the Android 10 crDroid port: Some apps freeze for a short period of time and YouTube (Vanced) has the problem that when playing videos at 720p, it first is standing still and then running while being a bit laggy. The games likely use OpenGL ES.

Please do a revision update that will fix this. Thank you.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] pufpufpuf:
Hi, I'm currently on crDroid 6 because I experienced the above mentioned video playback (stuttering, distortion) and charging (chargers detected as "slow") issues. Anyone who had those issues, can you confirm whether they were fixed by the 2021-06-14 build?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Letitride:
Well, apparently nobody else answered, yet ... Here's mine, thus far - FWIW

including my impressions, maybe help partially answer your question.

newest June 2021 "nightly" rom is fine since installing, video playback issues okay thus far with MX Player and VLC Player, as well latest Youtube Vanced, and videos within Facebook (these are the ones that I commonly used) Bluebooth connection is fine with my wireless earbuds.

Haven't checked to see if I can really run and use Android Auto as I have no plans to use this, being mainly my backup & travel WiFi device, using little to no 4G/HSPA+ data (connected) but didn't work properly on May's build).

I did have issues updating Apps from Google Play Store, downloaded fine but failed to install. Boot into TWRP Recovery, dirty re-flashed rom & Gapps and re-install TWRP for good measures - then, it worked and the apps updated to latest.

I usually charge my A2 Lite overnight so turbo/fast charging has seldom been an issue for me and I really hasn't paid much attention to it, before & after I began flashing custom rom earlier this year, after rooting the unlocked bootloader. Battery life with SOT, standby and mixed use time as a whole has been good, more than enough to last a full day of typical use for me without needing a boost or plugging into a usb battery bank or wall/car charger. It does seemed to fast charge initially with battery is below 50% and slow down & continue to trick charge as it get past 80% to 90% - which many considered to be better to long-term battery health.

At this moment, I'm using a fast 25W wall charger, battery at 85% and AccuBattery Pro reporting 25 to 30 minutes remaining to reach 100% full charge - not turbo fast but not too slow. Choice of and use of a specific charger, do come into play.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] pufpufpuf:
Thank you! Did you encounter any video/charging issues on the older build? Specifically the charging issue wasn't just "no fast charging" -- it was so slow that it couldn't even charge to 40% overnight.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Letitride:
I installed the April 2021 crDroid build and charging wasn't a problem on mine, video was choppy and bad (not really working to my liking or expectations) May 2021's build improved video & better, smooth 95% of the time (and more) and no charging issues. The latest, June 2021's build - just about the same and haven't noticed any video issues at all.

Even on stock OEM build, battery charging was never an issue - it'll reach 100% overnight, usually in a few hours while I sleep. Same for the last 3 cdDroid build and never come up short of 100% as long as I let it charge overnight - I generally connect to a good OEM (Motorola, Samsung, LG and Blackberry) or aftermarket charger (proven brands like Anker) with 2A output or better, some at 2.4A and as much as 3A or 4A, claiming to be in Turbo or Fast and QC 2.0 or 3.0 charging mode (as they claimed).

The other suggestion, I think, is to make sure you are using a high quality USB-C cable, as some of the poorly designed USB-C cables will give any device poor results and outcome. If the charger is running hot or quite warm while connected, it is NOT a good sign, regardless of whether it is UL or equivalent listed - I've tossed them out, fire hazards just waiting to happen.

Give this rom a try, do a clean & fresh install. BTW, I did not install and not running Magisk - just unlocked bootloader & rooted with TWRP, with mimial/basic Gapps.

[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Letitride:
Is this a fresh, clean install with full wipe including data partition ? before restoring your apps, etc. ??? I have dozens of apps & photos/files re-installed & restored from backup on latest build and still have 7 or 8 gb+ free/available.

Almost everything working so far on yours, might I suggest that you re-do your installation cleanly and share your results / findings - any large, old downloaded files hiding, use a File Utility to check them (post your screenshot, if you don't mind.) Regards !
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Kingdk997:
Yes , I first flashed Stock rom V11.0.20.0.QDLMIXM_10.0 through Mi flashtool , Then booted into TWRP with fastboot , factory reset , then wiped everything except sd card , installed the rom / twrp zip , rebooted into system to find only 8 gb of storage :/ .
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Letitride:
Well, let's compare and see - I have 32 GB Internal storage, with 11.3 GB space taken up by System. Apps that I've installed (there are dozens of them on mine, yours vary) taken up 14GB also, Images/Audio/Documents & other, etc. taken up a little more. Still leaving available space at 6 GB for internal storage. I have a 64 GB microSD (Class 10) card installed, where I keep my video/MP4's and MP3's and pictures, docs. for access.

Some of the apps from Google and popular ones like WeChat do take up a LOT of internal space, depending on how they are configured ... Game Apps also take up plenty of storage, for user data & cache.

If you can use "Files" App by Google, as downloaded & installed from Play Store (or, something else equivalent) - it can scan & tell you of any junk files or other large size ones that are using the space, and suggest cleaning or deleting them, etc. Here's my screenshot for your comparison.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Kingdk997:
No no , the total amount of storage showing up is 8 gb , with around 6 gb of free space , I also have 32 gb version but in the system storage settings it says I only have a total of 8 gb of internal storage with around 6 gb empty , haven't installed any apps and the storage is full wiped before flashing , note that when I connect it to pc it also shows I only have 8 gb of internal storage.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Letitride:
Well, sorry but I am afraid of not being to help you without more details, specifics & screenshots. It might help to detail your exact steps coming to this rom - was the total storage not a problem before this? Did you flash any other custom rom?

FYI - I came from another custom rom that I flashed and had no problems with available storage/size.

Did you switch partitions (A to B, B to A, etc.) in between and boot into/from Recovery and fully wipe AND format ALL the partitions, not just the SD folder. If there is only 8 GB of total internal storage and just 6 GB empty, it is nearly impossible to install the rom while taking up only 2 GB worth of space ... maybe, if you didn't flash minimal Gapps and anything from Play Store. That other missing 24 GB internal storage is "hiding" and being "hidden" from you - you just have to backtrack to find & re-connect them. Something is missing on your device and being missed, not visible to you - IMHO, with the installation.

Have you try to clean flash this rom again ?? Or, try one of the custom rom for A2 Lite, either Havoc (my suggestion) or Lineage ... to see the results. Good luck !
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Kingdk997:
Sorry I couldn't post screenshots because I flashed the stock rom back when I didn't have enough space , Yes I did a clean install with full wiping all partitions and doing the switching partitions step also, and when I went back to stock rom the storage returned to normal , I will try installing it again but i wanted to see if anyone had the same problem and found a solution , anyways thanks a lot for your help and I'll update this comment once I reflash the rom to show what's happened. Btw is Havoc a better choice than this rom?.

-Update : I flashed stock V10.0.18.0 , and redid the steps and flashed the rom and gapps , now storage shows up just fine and I have like 22gb free space , Thanks a lot for replying to my comment.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Letitride:
No problem, glad to know that you regained the missing storage space. IMHO, this rom is better than Havoc, which seemed to have issues with video playback at times with May's built ... reading other's comments/feedback. I like this better, dirty flashed the June build fine but opted to clean flash it again, for better responses (apps from Google Play Store not updating - failed to install "error") & don't have problems with videos.

It's time consuming to restore & update settings switching between roms, lately - I don't have the spare/free time to sit for hours to do all that. Going to stay with this unless I run into more issues, then ... I might consider switching to Havoc. Lineage users of this rom seem to have minor issues too, I run LOS on other devices just fine, so ... Maybe, I will change my choice next month if the rom developers/maintainer update to the latest security patches based on the current OTA release.

Have fun & enjoy this rom.

Heads up, all.

V4.7 OTA is out (Build RQ3A.210606.005) - build date July 2, 2021 - got an alert on my A2 Lite, installed just fine ... did rebooted itself twice but settled down since, so far so good for me. Video playback on FB and YT Vanced (lastest) are fine, didn't freeze or stumbled, etc.

Link is here - https://crdroid.net/daisy

Google Photos recognized it as Pixel 5 so "Saver Quality" uploaded to cloud storage is free & unlimited. UPDATE - (July 8th) - continued to run into issues with Apps in Play Store, had to do them 1 at a time. Going to do a clean & fresh install of crDroid V6.19 (newest Oreo build) to see & compare on whether it is better for my needs. Stay tuned.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Therapy?:
Hi guys, I read about misterious battery drain here and with the newest build I experienced it myself together with a significant warming of the device.

My solution was to disable the window blurring ("Weichzeichnen" in german, don't know the right preference name in english). It was enabled after the last update and maxed out one CPU core constantly. Nothing too special but maybe it helps someone.

Btw, has anyone a solution for the "alarm clock is not ringing" issue? I know it's a LineageOS problem but I couldn't find any capable solution or workaround.

Anyway, thanks for this great ROM!
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Letitride:
Thanks for sharing & welcome as a "newer" member to XDA. I didn't experience any unusual battery drain on the current build but overall, IMHO, not as smooth as the prior ones I've mentioned and used - individual results do vary. My battery health is about 82 or 83% as it is about 2 years old, but my screen-on-time and screen-off time are okay, often in deep sleep when not in use as I tried to optimize most apps including background sync.

I didn't check the alarm clock to see if it ringed or not, as this is one of my backup device & not primary or everyday driver. I suggest using a different ring tone to test it, including the timer function to see if it make any difference.

Anyway, for the time being, I decided to downgrade and did a fresh install of crDROID v6.19 (Oreo/Android 10) after re-flashing the stock base first. It is (without Magisk) smoother and I am going to run that for a while - Play Store isn't "certified" but apps still download & install and it's not seen as a Pixel 5 for uploading photos (I can live with that with an original OG Pixel, doing original quality & unlimited ... something else that my Pixel 3a XL cannot)

If any of you as me was interested how to enable camera api with this rom (because i couldn't find any settings about it)

open a cmd from your platform-tool folder and issue

adb shell

then grant root permission

su

then issue those commands to enable camera2 api

setprop persist.camera.HAL3.enabled 1
setprop persist.vendor.camera.HAL3.enabled 1
setprop persist.camera.stats.test 5
setprop persist.vendor.camera.stats.test 5

now you're ready to enjoy your prefered google camera

Note1: you need root access so you will need Magisk or similar installed
