yes. I've tried all of them. they are brand new SIMs, just activated them about a week ago on the stock ROM, which was miui 12.0.3. also tried every APN troubleshooting tips from my operator, but still no mobile data connection :(

Edit: I made a clean flash again, started the setup wizard with 1 sim in the phone and tried to start with mobile data setup, which stucks at connecting. also tried with flame and opengapps.

Now 1 more thing came to my mind: when I was trying to boot into twrp and get things going, I flashed vbmeta from here. Could be this the reason?

Edit2: re-flashed stock ROM, mobile data works perfectly. Started to re-flash crDroid, but after this step:

Wipe dalvik cache, data, cache, system, vendor, internal storage

Reboot -> Recovery

even if I choose Recovery in the Reboot menu in TWRP, my device boots into fastboot and I can't boot into TWRP. IF I don't flash that custom vbmeta.img in fastboot. And I've seen this same report from other users here. Maybe it's a new MIUI 12 legacy which was not present when the OP was made?
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] fonzacus:
im probably the only non vbmeta user here. my base firmware is still A9. the SIM issues also weird since no one else reported it. GAPPs related issue is normal on customs.

back then when you had crashing issues you had both network ready right? did you flash the latest build? im actually still on 07-05 LOL, @mrjoker18 said there were missing base apps.

technically the vbmeta only affects the boot process, so yeah, your guess is a good as mine as to why data doesnt work now...
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] mrjoker18:
i think 07-05 version is much more stable crdroid for me., coz camera browser and.music.app are both installed after booting ., so try to install it .,
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] mrjoker18:
dont.boot.to recovery again if you wipe.all everything.of your.current os.,

format data then boot.to recovery

then wipe.dalvic.cache.system and.vendor. DONT.BOOT.TO RECOVERY again bcoz.you will boot to fastboot.mode.,im getting.that problem also., just after wiping.,you can flash rom and.gapps after that format data.,

having trouble downloading the zip file from Sourceforge. Plz provide another download link
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] fonzacus:
yeah ive noticed sourceforge mirrors are having a bad month. id suggest DLing on a PC, use a good DL manager (many to choose from), manually pick a good enough mirror, AND MOST IMPORTANT

CHECK THE HASH

i messed up on 07-05, and i just installed 07-14. everything is still here. maybe you have a GAPPs config file that accidentally removed them?
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] fonzacus:
after a week of crdroid 7.8 07-14, i can say this is a good ROM for me. i havent faced any issue others have said here. some may have gotten unlucky (GSI maybe?) and arent having a good time as i am.

comparing 07-14 with (07-05), i can say this build is:

better battery, +2D (-2D)

lower ram -1.6 (1.9)

more responsive, especially browsing

of course your mileage may vary. i dont use droids for gaming and whatnot. and i prefer tweaking the system to bend to my will, not the other way around.

i also notice no issues. nothing has crashed since i first booted a week ago (i turned show all ANR)

i havent started playing around with the system yet (mainly just my herps and derps, 100% my bad)

Otherwise it's perfect

- Camera

- AudioFX

- Music

This wasn't a problem with NikGapps
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] forvanced123:
i install it but after rebooting got stuck on fastboot
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] POQDavid:
I installed OpenGapps and the only thing I lost is Always On Display which I think that's something mainly for OLED devices
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] POQDavid:
are you talking about the update or you just installed and how did you do it also what is your device 8/8A/8A Dual
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] fonzacus:
weird, ive used different versions of flamegapps before and havent had apps removed. i also took a peak at the default configs for open|flame|bit|nikgapps and they dont -autoinstall- _autoremove_ anything by default. im curious here as to why you guys and @mrjoker18 had apps removed
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] POQDavid:
technically I didn't lose any app just Always On Display but the thing is should that even be enabled for this device since its not an OLED device
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] fonzacus:
IDR where i saw an AOD setting, but have you tried the QS tile shortcut? if you add an AOD toggle, does it work? it does for me.

i also dont understand the trene of AOD
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] POQDavid:
Also how do you add the AOD settings I couldn't find it in QS
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] fonzacus:
if its not available when adding it then yeah its prolly disabled. but for it to be disabled by opengapps seems odd if it was available before.

im prolly about ready to try the newly 7.9 release, but might swing around xtended as i havent tried that yet
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] POQDavid:
Yeah I kind of feel like the AOD is disabled in the new release idk
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] IAmDeadlylxrd:
Sad news! Support for olivelite and olivewood has ended. Further, the ROM will be released only for olive. You can read more about this here: https://t.me/crDroid_olive/21
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] fonzacus:
theres a new build up which ships with core gapps (boring minimal gapps). this could be why @IAmDeadlylxrd rereleased a gapps only version. dont think other people had missing base apps like some people said here
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Aviruk Basak:
yes, AOD is disabled in 7.9
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] POQDavid:
If we already have gapps installed how the update would be?
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] fonzacus:
i havent tried the 2 vanilla builds (before the gappening) of 7.9, but with the newest build aod does work. it might be due to hardware issues. like in twrp some specific led hardware bugs, display doesnt work in brand 1, and bad touchscreen with brand 2. dotos also prolly has issues with specific/unlabeled(?) finger print scanner.

ive also tested finger and face scanners, they both work here.

for the record, i dont think ive checked my hardware device info yet...
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] fonzacus:
its recd to do a full clean install. changelogs do say tree rebase and kernel changes. any 1 of them is a big change. for both to change is like a new species lol.

also check my signature, migrate backup. its insanely awesome and easy to set up (huge kudos to the dev)...
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] POQDavid:
is it 100% necessary to clean install tho its the same android with just a different kernel shouldn't flashing be all it needs cause doesn't this work with OTA updates
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] LuciusFernando:
:)(y)(y).
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] fonzacus:
pretty much. for example lets take a source tree as an actual tree. there might be new branches elsewhere, or old branches cut off. sometimes having redundant files might block the newer files from loading correctly (many different reasons). its much safer to clean install, as sometimes even dirty flashing minor updates can cause errors. this update is considered major by me (i used to mod phones a long time ago)
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] POQDavid:
welp that's unfortunate cause I cant clean install currently XD
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] POQDavid:
@fonzacus Well Always on display is now back and got to say this ROM is freaking amazing the dirty flash is working perfectly fine for me

@IAmDeadlylxrd I wanted to say your doing a freaking amazing job on this ROM I really do appreciate all the hard work :)

Is the slow charging issue resolved yet? Coz I'm still getting really slow charging and I'm not talking about the lockscreen bug, but actual slow charging, I'm using various third party monitoring apps. All shows the max of 7-8W (Never cross 1000 mA) for some reason. (P. S. Yes, I'm on fast charger, and it used to show at least upto 15W+ on previous builds.)
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] POQDavid:
I feel like my phone is running a bit hotter after the recent update I also did a clean install it's giving me the same result like goes to 45c to 50c doesn't go more than that tho
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] fonzacus:
im not hardware savvy, but maybe its your charger/cable?

Device Info HW - Apps on Google Play

Hardware and software information app for Android devices.

play.google.com

my charger shows at ~1700 and pc ~250.

for references, i still remember stock, xiaomi.eu and this to have the sameish charging speed. 0-100 within ~2H. hopefully others can chime in too...

upd

moderate user, dont use phones all too often so the phone does last ~2Ds on a full charge
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Elson123:
Nah man, both charger and cable are from xiaomi official and supported. As i already said, i did use to get fast speeds (2000+ mA/around 15W) on previous builds with same charger and cable. Even on v7.9 (before the new device tree, olives version) it was charging fast. So i assume it's something related to new device tree.

P. S. With the app link you provided, its still the same, toping at 1000/1100, (and shows remaining time about 4h30min :-| )ss attached below for reference.

Update after a day,

I thought it started working normally again after seeing from the lockscreen. Then i checked the app and it was still maxing at 1k. Refer to 2nd and 3rd ss.
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] MMStheHoly:
All working for me. I'm using 10W official charger. Takes 2H~ for filling up
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Elson123:
Good for you and many others that it's working, saying that it's working for you is not gonna help me. The discussion here is about not working. So if you have any idea about the problem or solution, all ears to you, or else it's useless. I've tried to prove that it's not working, and I'm up for more as well if needed.
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] MMStheHoly:
Drop a logcat if it's not working. You say it's a bug, but there are some steps you need to take to report it to the developer. Remember this: no logs = no bugs
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Elson123:
Sure. Here.

Until I knew logcat won't help in this particular charging situation. But here it is.
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] fonzacus:
pretty curious. you said it worked fine on previous builds. did you install another gapps? franco kernel (almost missed this)?
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Elson123:
Yep. Using nikgapps basic. I used that on previous builds too. And Franco kernel Manager just for monitoring, no changes.

Do gapps affect charging?
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] fonzacus:
new newest build (~925MB) includes gapps. i did see a bunch of crashing from your logs, they were prolly conflicting each other
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Elson123:
The flashing guide already says flash gapps if needed, so I flashed.

I don't understand your point here. I clean flashed rom and gapps on very first boot itself. So isn't nikgapps supposed to replace stock gapps? If yes, what's conflicting?

Lastly, I didn't know flashing custom gapps on a gapped rom will affect charging in some way, I thought gapps only affects battery and not charging. If that's the case I can revert back to clean config.
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] fonzacus:
yeah the guide is outdated, most of the users arent active on the forums but in their own group. its hard to try and make the forum more active especially if some of the bigger fishes dont feel like coming here often.

with the 'device info hw' i tested with up above, it seems real charging speed is subtracted by power usage. maybe the other apps youve tried also worked that way. app crashing and restarting can cause cycles, and with franco kernel low mem killer active it shows constant circling.

if you feel like reflashing again, id suggest to take a look at migrate. its a handy backup/restore app that zips your selected app|data|permissions in a twrp flashable zip. it requires magisk to be installed first so you have to flash the backup during the 2nd boot.

did you figure out why you had slow charging speed when you installed it a while back?
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Amir051:
Do we have to flash Gapps in version 7.9?
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] fonzacus:
no, gapps in included in the newest 08-11 build (~925MB)
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Irate_Vendetta:
I've seen now in v7.9 of the ROM, hiding the notch is a new feature, is it possible to move the clock in the middle of the status bar, or is it planned for a future update to do this?
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] fonzacus:
there is a magisk module for that, but i dont think many roms will actually include that since notches are 'trendy' for years now. im hoping it dies lol, makes no sense...
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] ahmetakif616:
is always-on display available in version 7.9?
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] fonzacus:
yep, and it works. make sure you dont install gapps since its included already, dont know if the OP has been edited yet
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] kemihansome:
NO special features?

wanna create second space
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] fonzacus:
dont think any custom rom has that built in, you could always install another app if you want. havent tried any at all recently due to some of them having intrusive ads during an active session...

It's awesome, but will crdroid 8 come to redmi 8?

kudos for also simplifying skynet in this release. having tried 7.9 and not shutting down for a full month, lets hope the reliability continues with this and moonlight
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] fonzacus:
its partly gone until theres a new development path (by magisk contributors) or a new replacement (by wu) shows up. but for the time being, skynet does pass for me in 7.10

So far the smart charging and all works gr8 i used to use a app for that like this is amazing and don't have to even touch the default settings XD already perfect
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] DwiNovx:
Does this ROM already have a Quick Charge feature when plugged in with the QC3.0 Adapter? because I'm having issues about the charging system on this ROM and I feel it's charging longer than the MIUI ROM. is it because I have changed my kernel to MoonLight Kernel v1.2?
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Aviruk Basak:
System app Google Calculator update fails, but that's not the funny thing.

### History:

I was on crDroid 7.8 (Android 11) with Google Calculator app installed in system through FlameGApps.

Then I got the crDroid 7.10 update which switched FlameGApps with its own built-in GApps. So I re-flashed FlameGApps.

### The Funny Thing:

The now installed Google Calculator (whose actual package name is com.google.android.calculator) on my app drawer has package name com.android.calculator2 (which is the package name for the AOSP calculator app).

When I try installing com.google.android.calculator, it says App already installed and the installation always fails.

### What I tried:

I've used a combination of find and grep on the Android terminal (with root) to hunt down all files having the name calculator. there exists no such file (or directory), yet the app (with the wrong package name) is installed.

The apps directory should be located in the /system partition.

I'm sure /system was mounted (read-only but mounted).

I've used SD Maid to hunt down app corpses. Again, there were no corpses of the calculator app.

I do not understand what's going on.

did you dirty flash the rom + gapps? there were plenty of changes between 7.8-10. did your config have anything weird in it? id suggest a clean install. not sure how well crdroid 7.10 handles but + moonlight kernel im getting better resource management.

installing gapps on an already included gappd rom can cause issues. in your case only calculator bugged out, but have you noticed other things wrong? you might have lots of background conflicts, slowdowns, battery drains faster etc?

most things are better as user apps anyways
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Aviruk Basak:
Yes I dirty flashed it.

I didn't have any apparent problems (although after boot up a dialog box says that I've got some internal system issue, and I should contact the manufacturer, which I dismiss).

The device runs fine, and other apps haven't been bugged. No slow down, no crashes.

I ain't gonna clean install for just 1 calculator app.
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] POQDavid:
An update was just released yesterday that should fix the problem that tells you to contact the manufacturer and also I been using opengapps nano my self from https://opengapps.org/ haven't had any problems might want to use that
