Yeah, you are indeed right. I just formatted data and installed only Signal on dotOS to test this. Same issue. I just wanted to be sure. Tomorrow when I have time I will install crDroid back and test this one last time. Wanna double check its 45 min on crDroid and 15 on dotOS.
[Redmi Note 10] alonsoj636MW:
1: my usage is not heavy ..

i don't make too many calls , i don't use video calls... not heavy gaming ... just social media , light games , YouTube , Chrome and Offline Videos & Music (on my local storage) so this rom is perfect for this moderate usage...

2. i tried PE+ , PPUI , Ligthouse , Spark , EvoX , Wave , Aex , Dot , Ancient , Cherish and Octavi ... for some reason i got bored of all this roms (design , stability , type of customizations , lack of translations , etc) So for now CrDroid is my choice (with all customizations i need , good battery (i get around 8-10 hours of screen), no strange designs and the rom fully translated to Spanish (my languague)

==== 21 August, 2021 ====

GAPPS | MICROG

- Fixed OKGoogle Detection

- Fixed CPU Thermal Info

- Fixed Document Mode

- Added Clone Shots (miuicam)

- Added Smart Charging

- Added Burn-in Protection

- Added Smart Pixels

- Brought back TWRP

Notes:

• No need to touch GApps from now.

• Don't ask if dirty flash works. Even I donno. Always have a backup.

• Potraits looks bugged in MiuiCam. Use GCAM Potraits for now.

• On microg build, enable "Spoof signature" permission for play store to work.

• MicroG has no safetynet concept. Location backends included.
[Redmi Note 10] LaMarMôt:
What do you mean ?

Did you include microG in the build already ? If so, would it be possible that you post a link for the vanilla rom (no microG, no gapps)?

Cheers
[Redmi Note 10] MPK99:
Users generally have vanilla builds, bcaz they either want to apply minimal gapps or go microg way... As I already include minimal gapps & microg, need for vanilla is of no use now.

There are only small percentage of users who have "just" vanilla builds, so made this decision.
[Redmi Note 10] lukaknw:
"To fix green potraits, just clear cache & reopen MiuiCam" I always have green on my main camera
[Redmi Note 10] LaMarMôt:
Well, I guess I am the small percentage ^^ but it's your call anyway... too bad :/

How is this zip different from microg built or gapps built please?

Thank you !

Cheers
[Redmi Note 10] LaMarMôt:
did you clear the camera app cache ?
[Redmi Note 10] lukaknw:
Yes
[Redmi Note 10] MPK99:
Kept it for OTA update purpose. It's nothing but gapps build.
[Redmi Note 10] LaMarMôt:
too bad :(

try to clear storage too... and check the permissions...
[Redmi Note 10] LaMarMôt:
I secretly hope it was vanilla... lol
[Redmi Note 10] lukaknw:
I've tried this and that. I'll think about that a little more
[Redmi Note 10] LaMarMôt:
i'm about to flash it, i'll see if the problem occurs on my side... did you dirty or clean flashed ?
[Redmi Note 10] MPK99:
Will check that out...
[Redmi Note 10] LaMarMôt:
Sideloading from linux doesn't work...

"assert failed: update_dynamic_partitions(package_extract_files("dynamic_partition_op_list"))
[Redmi Note 10] MPK99:
Looks like the workaround works only when both slot partitions exist...

Will revert the build to normal in couple of hours...
[Redmi Note 10] MPK99:
Fixed build errors. Get the reuploaded one.
[Redmi Note 10] LaMarMôt:
Great, I adb sideload the last microG build over my previous install.

It worked fine. :)

Thanks a lot!!

But now I have Google Play, Aurora, GooglePlay Protect, many modules I don't use in microG, and even the Play Store (!!)... well everything I don't want...

(edit: + google agenda sync, google contact sync... :sick:)

I will have to revert back to the last build for the moment, sorry, I'm really used to vanilla CrDroid builds on all the devices I flash (i9100, G2, S7, galaxy tab10, redmi Note8, F2pro, Mi9t, Mi9lite...)

Too bad :/

But yeah, dirty flashing is working then for those who wonder.

Cheers!

edit:

Camera seems to works well, no green screen on my side, but the MACRO LENS disappeared from the options :( (was there on last build)
[Redmi Note 10] NHK8992:
After I updated from crDroid v7.8 to v7.9, Widevine L1 was drop to L3 (I can't stream Full HD on Netflix). :eek:
[Redmi Note 10] LaMarMôt:
Mine is still on L1.

You might want to try to flash the last firmware (the one corresponding to your original region), and, if that doesn't work, you'll have to use MiFlash to flash the full stock rom (still corresponding to your original region).
[Redmi Note 10] Agent Lu:
This probably happened cuz I'm an idiot and I have no idea what I'm doing so can someone please tell me what happened here.

I was trying to do a dirty flash since I wanted to install 7.9 but when I reboot to Los recovery it's not showing me to wipe system, cache, dalvik etc just format device. So I thought maybe I'm on older version of Los recovery..?so I flashed the one provided in the installation guide and then reboot. Then I was stuck on boot animation for about 10 mins. So I went to recovery and reboot system again, still stuck on crdroid boot animation.

Didn't know what to do so, (panik) did factory reset and flashed crdroid 7.9 with Gapps via adb using Los recovery. This was a success.

So my questions would be,

What I did there was basically a clean flash, yes?

And what is the recommended way of updating this rom to a newer version?
[Redmi Note 10] machotom:
With microg which camera app you guys are using?
[Redmi Note 10] MPK99:
They can be disabled & they're not even bloatware. So you'll be fine to use it as vanilla too I guess.
[Redmi Note 10] MPK99:
Sometimes your old configurations doesn't play nice with the newer build, so some encounter bootloops.

Afaik. Some of the other community users dirty flashed & it worked for them.

On which build you were before?
[Redmi Note 10] ade.sultan:
Can it be flashed via twrp now? Or adb sideload is mandatory?
[Redmi Note 10] Anish Louis:
Micro g is not opening after the latest update.
[Redmi Note 10] NHK8992:
Clean flash on crDroid 7.9 (fastboot tool) lastest build got L3, flash again with another rom L1 work (PPUI+, crDroid 7.8...)
[Redmi Note 10] ClarityG:
whats the difference between microg and gapps version?
[Redmi Note 10] Agent Lu:
Gotcha. So if I encounter boot loops should I just flash the entire rom again or is there something else I could do?

I was on 7.8 then flashed 7.9 with Gapps build.

The rom is excellent btw. I also noticed the smart charge feature and it's working perfectly.

Much thanks!
[Redmi Note 10] LaMarMôt:
You might want spend a little more time researching the internet and reading before asking this question.

Cheers.
[Redmi Note 10] LaMarMôt:
I "dirty" flashed just by rebooting on recovery (was LOS on the last build), sideloaded the zip from there, rebooted directly to the rom (no wipe or anything), and it did work.

Was on vanilla before though (so flashed microg one).

At the moment I'm still using the built in camera (which is a port of the Miui stock one if I assume) but I'll try some Gcam at one point I guess.

(btw, did you have a look at why the macro lens isn't there anymore on last version @MPK99?)

Well... some are in the way and even use battery (g sync, play protect...), the only way to uninstall is to debloat (there is a nice magisk module for that).

It is just sad that the first think I have to do on CrDroid custom rom is to debloat the rom.

That's what I would do if I were using MIUI or Pixel roms.

edit: wouldn't it make more sense if you absolutely want to include microG into the build, to include JUST microG (I mean, aurora, playsprotect, playstore... am I the only one using microG without all that ?)

It's just sad that's all. Thanks

A LOT

for the work anyway :)

GREAT ROM !!!!

Cheers
[Redmi Note 10] ClarityG:
Researching what, I wasn't able to find something that explains it precisely
[Redmi Note 10] LaMarMôt:
I won't push it to the point were I send you a LMGTFY link...

Here is the MicroG project main site:

microG Project

There is even a wikipedia (!!) page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MicroG

I mean

seriously ??

As to explain it "PRECISELY" I'm not able too, and I don't think that's the right thread. But to get the general idea I guess the links you'd find using your favorite search engine will do the trick.

And now microG is even build in one version of the CrDroid rom, don't even have to install it anymore ! (to my great regret though...)
[Redmi Note 10] ClarityG:
ok ill go with the gapps version, any idea why the download speed is very slow? its like 100-200 kbps why do the cap the speed
[Redmi Note 10] LaMarMôt:
Have no idea, but on my side, gapp version from sourceforce is downloading full speed...
[Redmi Note 10] romgharti:
currently fmradio is not worked. only app is there.
[Redmi Note 10] WilcyWilson:
When will the OSS Vendor arrive for Redmi Note 10? Is it actively being worked on?
[Redmi Note 10] romgharti:
dev is already working on it. we have just wait.
[Redmi Note 10] WilcyWilson:
That's great to hear.

[Redmi Note 10] UniNick:
Installation via the included scripts from a Windows PC did not work for me.

Lots of "partition not found" errors, no system boot possible thereafter.

I was on MIUI 12.0.7.0 before.
[Redmi Note 10] MPK99:
Update your adb fastboot drivers to v31.

And don't use minimal fastboot. It's ages old & outdated.

How to Install ADB and Fastboot on Windows: All the methods and help!

nerdschalk.com
[Redmi Note 10] UniNick:
Thank you, that worked.

After the script ended, the device was in LOS Recovery and I booted to system, then it stuck at the crDroid boot logo.

Another time to recovery and formatting data helped though, now I'm going to test the new version.
[Redmi Note 10] MPK99:
!!UPDATE !!

ROM is official now.

New download link
[Redmi Note 10] UniNick:
Any changes from the latest unofficial version (03/06/21), or just different download link and status official?
[Redmi Note 10] alonsoj636MW:
Camera and Video Recording works ?
[Redmi Note 10] UniNick:
Camera (rear) only main lens, video recording still buggy.

But the two different gcam ports from this forums' threads also still work, with these you can use all 3 lenses and video.
[Redmi Note 10] StaryMuz:
It can continue to be used, just replace the fastboot.exe file with a newer one.

There are also new commands and a new fastboot mode "fastbootd" is used.

New fastboot.exe file.
[Redmi Note 10] alonsoj636MW:
thanks for the confirmation bro... i'm on miui just for camera and video recording:confused:
[Redmi Note 10] lakshmish:
Yup! Me too on MIUI just for the Video recording and slow motion. Wish it would work on this ROM soon.
[Redmi Note 10] uranoscopus:
Hello, i installed the vanilla version.

great rom!

Thanks
[Redmi Note 10] UniNick:
do you use microG?
[Redmi Note 10] uranoscopus:
No, i dont need it. Sorry.
[Redmi Note 10] Anish Louis:
can anyone pls teach me how to flash firmware using twrp.?
[Redmi Note 10] UniNick:
that's the wrong thread here, but: copy the recovery version of your FW to the smartphones memory/SD card or use USB OTG storage, then enter TWRP...
[Redmi Note 10] syntheticdingo:
Dev is def in a tough spot, can't please everyone 😅. I too would prefer not to have the google bloat (play store, play protect, etc). But having Aurora and microG modules does make my life easier.

Can the google bloat be uninstalled via root though? If so, then for me, the work of installing and setting up microG just turns into uninstalling the "bloat", which will prob take less time. Will count that as a win.

I have microG installed from their F-droid repository, could that be a problem when I flash this latest update? or is this uncharted territory?
[Redmi Note 10] LaMarMôt:
I did dirty install on top of my previous microG install. It did work.

In my opinion, it is much more convenient to offer a solid clean base and then everyone is free to set it up at his own preference.

It's kind of the purpose of aosp and custom roms, for me, to have something as barebone as possible and make "my own" from there.

Regarding microG, I only install services core, gsf proxy, I

fake

the playstore and

this is it

. If i want to use GPS I add unified nlp, and mozilla backend and voilà.

So, no playstore, no aurora services, no aurora store... (I ain't saying they're bad or anything, I just don't use it)

There is

plenty

of packages offering to install all that (and more!) on demand, with every part customisable, without a pain, if it's what bother people... like NanoDroid which is all you can dream (even with some tweaks in the backends and everything). There is even magisk modules to do all that...

I mean everything is there

already

, it's wonderful projects, I don't use them but I encourage anybody to do so and support them. They get the job done. And very well done.

What I try say is I don't see the point in implementing so much (too much) that one as to start to debloat before being able to use a crDroid build... (I might be exaggerating a little...^^)

I mean, then, where is Fdroid?? why include aurora and not bromite webview? why full playstore (redondant with aurora...) and not the fake one? why not include NewPipe as everybody likes youtube? and termux ?

Well, you see my point.

LineageOS chose to make forks builds with microG, I think it's the very minimal microG install plus Fdroid... hmmm... why not.

The big "issue" to install a working microG is to be able to spoof signatures. Which can be tricky. Which is why lineage decided to offer those builds in the first place.

But now, especially with a rom allowing for signature spoofing out of the box, installing microG is really nothing to do (at least I find it much much less paintfull than to have to debloat it !!!). Clearly, if one can install a custom rom, one can flash a gapps zip or microg from recovery, no??

But hey, again, that's just me :)

Cheers
[Redmi Note 10] Anish Louis:
Hi. Iam using microg version. But playstore is not opening. Signature spoofing option is not responding on microg settings.. Anybody facing tis issue.?
[Redmi Note 10] MPK99:
I tried to include patched play store, but some users claim it doesn't work...

The intention was to provide hazzle free app store experience. But as a microg point of view, I shouldn't have to include that & actually go with either F-Droid, or Aurora OSS.

Will hear more user feedback till the sept patch & will then refine microg variant...
[Redmi Note 10] Anish Louis:
OK. tanx for the reply. Anyway appreciate your work.
[Redmi Note 10] LaMarMôt:
I can't tell as that's the first stuff I (painfully I must say) uninstalled (to be able to replace it with "fake store" variant).

You can try to uninstall it from Fdroid (dunno if you can though as it's a system app), or download "App Manager" from Fdroid, uninstall Playstore from there, then, if you really want using playstore (otherwise just install "fake store" from microG repository) add Nanolx F-Droid Repo, then reinstall modded playstore from there, and you should be able to spoof the signature. (painful I told u...)

But before all that, try:

adb -d shell pm grant --user 10337 com.android.vending android.permission.FAKE_PACKAGE_SIGNATURE
[Redmi Note 10] MPK99:
Fake store patch exists & it's purpose is to pretend that the play store exists on the device.

For current build, as the real store already included, so no need of this.

Fake store need to be implemented only in the absense of play store, as both share the same package name.
[Redmi Note 10] LaMarMôt:
in the end isn't it easier for you and for the users (win-win?) to have just one vanilla variant and then each and every one is free to flash gapps, microg or nothing... ?

But maybe not...

Cheers

Yep, indeed, I never stated the contrary, re-read my post :) (i suggested @Anish Louis to uninstall and reinstall PlayStore (the "real" one) to try to be able to grant the spoofing permissions in microG... which won't be that "easy" as it is a system app... the "fake store" part was just to say... but hey, read the post...)
[Redmi Note 10] MPK99:
GApps variant exists bcaz users face many problems as many gapps packages exist, some work, some don't, some give safetynet & Google app issues. Some literally break the rom & put you in bootloop.

And I've replaced vanilla with microg bcaz it's the only other optional alternative to GApps & even gives you root free microg experience.

Another reason is there's way less scale of users who just dumbly have vanilla...
[Redmi Note 10] UniNick:
I appreciate the variant with gapps preinstalled!
[Redmi Note 10] StaryMuz:
I feel the need to comment on the pre-installation of various Google "replacement" apps.

It's walking on thin ice!

These "replacement" apps infringe the rights of the Google store and certain included programs.

I do not intend to be a critic or a judge, but I caution against the public dissemination of such an approach.
[Redmi Note 10] LaMarMôt:
Indeed. I totally get the gapps arguments, makes a lot of sense. Not so much the microg ones.

Cause it's just very sad to impose Play Store then... (and Aurora services and some other stuffs...)

(Look at the LineageOS microG implementation, it's much more "vanilla" microG).

Again, amazing rom, amazing work, thanks a (huge) lot !

Cheers
[Redmi Note 10] MPK99:
We can't do anything about it. As long as microg isn't sued by Google & maintained as it is sponsored by FMER (Federal Ministry of Education & Research), it's gonna continue it's legacy & development.
[Redmi Note 10] StaryMuz:
MicroG itself is not the problem. But the fake Playstore is in conflict.

It is necessary to distinguish what is already illegal.

Moreover, the creation itself is not sanctionable, public dissemination inciting abuse is sanctionable.
[Redmi Note 10] syntheticdingo:
On the topic of feedback:

My goal is to deGoogle and harden the OS. So having microG, navigation modules, Aurora services, Bromite webview, etc out of the box, for me, is a plus, and having google apps is a minus. But I understand that this is outside of the scope of other users, and it is easy to add those things through Magisk/remove with root.

I trust that the dev will find a happy compromise that suits most users.

Regarding Nova, I managed to systemize the app, and while the problem is better, upon restarting the phone, the stock launcher still gets opened a few times and I have to manually choose Nova every time. This is not a big problem, but this did not happen *out of the box* (no systemization) in dotOS during the period i tested it. So felt like mentioning it.

Some things on dotOS I hope make their way to crDroid:

3 location quick setting options: coarse, fine and battery saving. I thought that was neat

default toggle/switch looks. would love to have those in crDroid.

--------

I fully finished setting up crDroid yesterday (back from dotOS). So doing it over again is not what really wanna do right now. So, unless the Signal issue is solved with this version (can anyone confirm?) or we have the "green light" to back up/restore full partitions with TWRP, I will be sticking with my build until the September patch.

--------

Lastly, dotOS had different default AOSP icons, does anyone know if (through root maybe?), I can alter some of them in crDroid?
[Redmi Note 10] LaMarMôt:
Where do we stop the list then? I too would like to have

everything

I use preinstalled perfectly ootb! :p (would it be the same than yours? I hope not in fact, diversity is a very good thing..)

You don't even need root or magisk. One can do that manually (or with F-droid).

That for example, for me, it's just "bloat" (meaning I don't see the purpose... again, just me... but as everybody is different (i guess... and I hope!!!) that's why I think the less the better, and then everyone can go from there...)

So, you could do it manually, but if you happen to have magisk, install the module called "debloater" (xda) and you'll be able to easily uninstall the stock launcher. (you can try with App Manager too (it's on F-Droid, I've talked 'bout it already). I think the package you're looking for is "crDroid Home" (com.android.launcher3), but check...

not sure if that's what you're talking about but there is an option for that in CrDroid preferences (under "user interface" tab)

long press anywhere on a blank space in your home screen, "styles & wallpaper", choose from there (again, if that's what you're talkin about 🙃)

no idea about Signal... but, wait, you mean you didn't install the "microG included" version (and you give feedback about it?!... :p... just (almost) teasing!)

FYI, on my side, as I said, "dirty" flashing (sideloading) the last built on top of my install did work without issue. (except the bloat part lol). Maybe you could try.

Cheers
[Redmi Note 10] LaMarMôt:
In that regard, the whole A.O.S.P. is a bit of a joke sometimes... Open Source... well... as if...

I'm not sure what you are referring to, but the empty package called FakeStore from microG repo doesn't violate any ToS. As do every microG components. (afaik...)

And

sorry, but ?????

Not sure who is abusing who in g**lag vs the world...
[Redmi Note 10] StaryMuz:
I'm not defending G**gle. I'm pointing out the existing contracts with app developers that he publishes.
[Redmi Note 10] syntheticdingo:
Yes I see your point, and I agree. Goal is to give feedback so Dev knows how ppl use the rom so he can make an informed decision about how it is best to release this rom in future updates.

Lol, I dont wanna mess with uninstalling the stock home launcher. what if the next time I turn the phone on I cant open s.h.i.t? :ROFLMAO:. That is why I didn't disable it with Warden. I'm still a noob man, i'm afraid I break stuff like that

I dig Aurora services because apps can just update seamlessly in the background. So I don't have to manually do it every time.

yes, I would like for the default toggle (switch) look from dotOS to be added as an option in preferences so I can choose and use it in crDroid.

Yeah, I am aware of that as well. I mean to change the icon image (?), not the shape. In dotOS I saw that it used the same apps (same package names) but the icons were different. Minor issue, but personally, I think that SOME icons of the Lineage/AOSP apps that come in vanilla (Clock, Contacts, Messages, Camera, etc) don't look good/fit with other apps (personal preference of course). And as a Linux user I am used to being able to change app icons I dislike... this is me wondering if I can do the same in custom ROMs.

Did you do any wipes before sideloading the ROM?
[Redmi Note 10] ClarityG:
is there a full installation guide for crdroid like this
[Redmi Note 10] MPK99:
Same as PE. ROM & Recovery links are in the main post.
[Redmi Note 10] ClarityG:
Ok so I have a question, after installing the rom do we get the updates via OTA or u have to manually update using recovery?
[Redmi Note 10] MPK99:
It's official. You will. But cr's OTA update is very slow, just FYI.
[Redmi Note 10] ClarityG:
is it possible to change the icons at the bottom in recents? like the select and screenshot buttons in pixel ui

View attachment 5391197

AND what is the key combination to take screenshot or how to configure it, cant find a settings for that
[Redmi Note 10] LaMarMôt:
Which makes total sense I understand

I know there is icon packs available here and there (even on F-droid I think) but that's all I know :/

Not at all, neither before nor after. It worked just fine.
[Redmi Note 10] MPK99:
Key combo exists for partial screenshot (buttons section)

Vol Down > Power & drag the screen
[Redmi Note 10] ClarityG:
I want key combo for full screenshot

And what about my other question
[Redmi Note 10] StaryMuz:
More on the topic of what the developer will and will not add to the ROM.:

I thought the official rom was given content by the official community. The official rom of a certain version should be the same for all phones. If it is not, I see it as an unofficial - modified rom.

Or am I wrong in my opinion?
