Besides that, how has your experience been with the ROM?
[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 ROMs/Kernels/Recoveries/Dev.] kongtapapple:
Followed the installation instruction, everything has been smooth so far. Played some game and the performance is great. Prop to the maintainer for writing such detail instruction rather than having me search though everything on my own. Keep it up!
[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 ROMs/Kernels/Recoveries/Dev.] Ironheist6:
Can someone tell me how is the stability?

Like the camera and is the issue of low volume when calling still there on this ROM?

Please do let me know as im very much in need to escape MIUI and try something better

Thank you.
[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 ROMs/Kernels/Recoveries/Dev.] Ironheist6:
And im on MIUI 12.5.1 android 11.

Do i have to downgrade or something in order to flash this ROM because when i flashed other custom ROM it did require me to downgrade to miui 12.0.2 android 10

Thank you in advance.
[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 ROMs/Kernels/Recoveries/Dev.] rambomhtri:
This custom ROM is probably one of the best in terms of customization, it passes safety net, it's certified, OTA works, it is smooth... I think I've tried one before that was a tiny bit smoother, but I would not give everything else for a bit more fluidity. I think I'm staying with this ROM for good. I recommend you flash latest 12.5.1 FW A11 before flashing this ROM.
[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 ROMs/Kernels/Recoveries/Dev.] blast_beat_ns:
Somebody asked before but no answer. How is the situation with low in call volume, is it present like in all custom roms for this phone?
[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 ROMs/Kernels/Recoveries/Dev.] Ironheist6:
hello, yeah it is present in this custom rom... its a problem with all custom roms for redmi 9... i switched back to miui because of this issue
[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 ROMs/Kernels/Recoveries/Dev.] blast_beat_ns:
Thanks for info. I must find some solution for that volume custom ROM problem since MIUI gives me headache with WiFi problem that has no solution.
[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 ROMs/Kernels/Recoveries/Dev.] morfikov:
Fist of all I don't use GAPPS, only microG installed via Magisk. Everything seems to be working just fine except two things.

1. It looks like something is wrong with sensors. Compass shows wrong directions (I use the Trial Sense app, form F-Droid) and also the position (x-y) of the phone seems to be switched (it can be visualized better in the Bubble lvl in the app) -- it wrongly recognizes horizontal/vertical angle, apparently it thinks the right-left plane of the phone is the top-bottom one. When I hit the compass icon in the phone's nav bar, it hangs the whole phone after 10-20 seconds. There's no way to switch the icon back to the off state, and I have to reboot the phone.

2. The volume buttons on my earphones don't work. The only button that seems to work is the power one. The phone's hardware buttons seem to work without issues. I tried two different earphones (connected via minijack and also the usb-c port), and I got the same result, which is I can't change volume via the buttons. Pressing vol+ or vol- on the earphones seems to be issuing a tap action on the screen, so for instance I can tap on a Firefox icon using either one of the volume buttons.

Does anyone experience such behavior?
[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 ROMs/Kernels/Recoveries/Dev.] iClutch7:
Is this rom smooth in Poco M2? Pls reply.
[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 ROMs/Kernels/Recoveries/Dev.] GintokiCCS:
Someone mentioned earlier that it is smooth, my dear NEWB fan
[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 ROMs/Kernels/Recoveries/Dev.] morfikov:
It looks like, there are some issues with the notification mechanism. Basically all apps, which don't use the google push system, can't receive notifications. It's the case for Telegram FOSS, Signal, and K9-mail. They all have disabled battery optimization and they all have a visible notification displayed in the nav bar/lock screen.. But the network connection breaks after a few minutes you turn the screen off. Often notifications don't work when the screen is on -- you have to access the app to receive them (as soon as you access the app, the notification is delivered). Is there any fix for this issue? Does anyone noticed this behavior?
[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 ROMs/Kernels/Recoveries/Dev.] morfikov:
Good news is that, it looks like the official (the newest) firmware is bugged somehow. The same errors can be observed in the stock MIUI12A11. So it's not the crDroid's fault.

But still the delay in receiving notifications in the case of crDroid is really weird.

HELP!

at the time of installing the rom it gives me an error

says: error installing zip
[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 ROMs/Kernels/Recoveries/Dev.] LaroTayoGaming:
@Evan_Ferrao For some reason, when I flash my fdroid privileged extension, it can't install automatically on my system. View attachment 5438535

And also, nextcloud issues as well for auto upload. I selected my aegis backup folder in my local instance and it didn't appear the folder for some reason, so it can't upload automatically.

View attachment 5438537

All of the apps are on F-droid.
[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 ROMs/Kernels/Recoveries/Dev.] LaroTayoGaming:
@Evan_Ferrao Also, is there a microg package for the build? I know there's signature spoofing on the rom, but it causes a bootloop (nanodroid) on my end.
[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 ROMs/Kernels/Recoveries/Dev.] BryanCp13:
The problem of the calls is in telephone calls or also in calls of watsap or messenger?

yes, it was the sd-card corrupted caused all ROMs to do that.

I finally returned to this ROM and it's flawless.

Can I flash it in poco m2 shiva
[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 ROMs/Kernels/Recoveries/Dev.] pdzz:
ROM has been excellent so far. It was also the only ROM that had good enough instructions for me as a noob to install without complications.

Runs smooth and works even better than the stock MIUI ROM imo. I've been using it for over a month now. It has not crashed or had any bugs yet.

Edit: please make the Night Light independent of GPS-Services. Or make it so it doesn't need constant GPS access. Maybe I should voice this on the crdroid github though.
[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 ROMs/Kernels/Recoveries/Dev.] Todotrucks:
installed just fine and have been using the rom for some days, the camera app just disappeared and contacts randomly delete themselves, and I mean all of them
[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 ROMs/Kernels/Recoveries/Dev.] Ev5:
What I've done:

-unlock bootloader

-downgrade to 11.0.4 eea with xiaomi flashtool v2

-installed twrp 3.4.28-0108 with flashtool v2

-installed crdroid from here

everything works, but got following error in madlog:

ccci_fsd - failed to read Form FS Device (-1) !! errno = 4

After that the Device reboots

Pre 20Dec2021 Update:

So after the 20Dec2021 update, I would rethink my review. I saw the update and decided to update later because the changelog only mentioned: "SafetyNet passes by default". I don't need that because I made it pass. Well, after having my battery somehow drained by that not installed update and not getting 3-4 days but only 1 day of usage out of my phone, I decided to update.

Post 20Dec2021 Update:

SafetyNet, that passed because of my modifications now doesn't pass the Check anymore. Thanks for nothing. Also the update shipped a Browser, Calculator, Calendar, Camera, Clock, Contacts and Messaging. Did I ask for Bloatware? That certainly is NOT in the changelog. I am pretty pissed off, because after not having to tinker with my phone for months, I now have to connect it to adb again to remove the bloatware that shipped with this update.

Maybe the Browser could be seen as necessary if you didn't flash GApps, but it's definetly not necessary to ship with an update. "SafetyNet now passes by default"? It doesn't pass on my device anymore even though it passed Pre Update :I

If another update comes with Bloatware like this I will try to install another custom ROM.

I don't think this ROM is bad. It's actually perfect! I have never had such a pleasant experience with a smartphone before. It just kinda sucks that this not installed update drains the battery somehow and ships with Bloatware.

Please update your changelog. Thank you for maintaining the ROM [:

Edit: I attached an screenshot of the battery drain. 4 days of battery life post-update vs 1 day of battery life pre-update.

It looks like the device has issues with sleeping. The only way to make it stop is to kill Google Play services, i.e. to stop the com.google.android.gms app. The device was working well for almost a month, but recently it got this nasty issue. Does anyone experience this and maybe know how to fix it?
[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 ROMs/Kernels/Recoveries/Dev.] tiga05:
@morfikov

I found you and your problem via google. I have the same issue, but different device.

I have a oneplus 3t with crdroid 7.13

I have three theories:

- bug with this ROM in connection with the latest google play service

- bug in connection with the new speech app from google

- overall google play service bug

Did you solve it?
[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 ROMs/Kernels/Recoveries/Dev.] morfikov:
@tiga05, yes, I've managed to solve it, but I don't really know what consequences of my deeds can be, so be careful if you want to follow what's below.

Basically, you probably are right about some buggy ROM<->google relationship. To deal with this spam log, you have to disable com.google.android.gms/.chimera.GmsIntentOperationService . You can do it via ADB:

# pm disable com.google.android.gms/.chimera.GmsIntentOperationService

I'm not sure what this service is used for (it's just a part of google GMS, i.e. google play services), but it looks like everything works well so far.

I've also been playing with google play services optimization for battery utilization and RAM usage. Basically I disabled these activities/services, which reduced RAM from 450M to around 140M, which is really nice.
[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 ROMs/Kernels/Recoveries/Dev.] tiga05:
@morfikov

I solved it, too with upgrading to the latest google play service version (21.48.55). I downloaded the apk from apkmirror (take care for your arm version) and installed it manually as update.

After the update my smartphone was very busy with doing stuff and I saw a lot of errors in matlog. But after some time it was responsive again now the error is gone.

EDIT: After some hours, the issue is back.
[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 ROMs/Kernels/Recoveries/Dev.] morfikov:
In my case, your solution didn't work. I upgraded the google play services to 21.48.55 and enabled the buggy service. I rebooted my device and cleared the cache/dalvik. When the device booted I still see the spam log. So it looks like I'll have to disable the service to get rid of those messages.
[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 ROMs/Kernels/Recoveries/Dev.] tiga05:
@morfikov

Yep. You are right. After 2 hours it started spamming again.

So back to your solution.

THANKS!

Is this ROM in active development?
[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 ROMs/Kernels/Recoveries/Dev.] morfikov:
It should be. The last update was 2021-12-23. It should be updated monthly, but the last update is apparently delayed for some unknown reason.
[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 ROMs/Kernels/Recoveries/Dev.] LaroTayoGaming:
WPA2/WPA3 Mixed Mode wifi is not connecting in my end, idk why.
[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 ROMs/Kernels/Recoveries/Dev.] morfikov:
It looks like we got a new ROM update, based on A12.
[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 ROMs/Kernels/Recoveries/Dev.] morfikov:
It looks like that SHRP lacks support for A12. There's no way to decrypt the encrypted storage under the recovery mode, and hence there's no way to install magisk.
[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 ROMs/Kernels/Recoveries/Dev.] morfikov:
It looks like you can install Magisk using the boot partition from the ROM's .zip package. All you need is to install Magisk app after upgrade from A11->A12 and then patch the boot image with the Magisk app. Then download the image from your phone via adb pull and flash it to the boot partition using fastboot . Then root is going to work well, but the TWRP/SHRP recovery is pretty much useless as the data is encrypted and it can't be decrypted using the current version of TWRP/SHRP.
[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 ROMs/Kernels/Recoveries/Dev.] AmrOkasha97:
Does anyone know how to bypass cts check on A12?

I installed magisk, and universal SafetyNet fix but no possible way to bypass the check.

[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 ROMs/Kernels/Recoveries/Dev.] AmrOkasha97:
Was the cts check passed from the beginning or only after updating?!
[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 ROMs/Kernels/Recoveries/Dev.] morfikov:
I think it's always been passing the check, right?
[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 ROMs/Kernels/Recoveries/Dev.] AmrOkasha97:
I'm on 8.2 lancelot

And can't get it passing can you mention your installation steps?!
[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 ROMs/Kernels/Recoveries/Dev.] morfikov:
I upgraded from 8.2 to 8.4. I downloaded the ROM, and the gapps from the links below:

https://jztkft.dl.sourceforge.net/project/crdroid/lava/8.x/crDroidAndroid-12.1-20220413-lava-v8.4.zip

https://deac-ams.dl.sourceforge.net/project/nikgapps/Releases/NikGapps-SL/13-Apr-2022/NikGapps-core-arm64-12.1-20220413-signed.zip

I haven't format anything, I just flashed the ROM via SHRP, and after the process was completed, I flashed also the gapps. After this, I rebooted the device. The root was gone. I manually patched the boot image (inside the magisk app) and flashed it via fastboot. And that's it.
[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 ROMs/Kernels/Recoveries/Dev.] popej:
I have installed 8.4 with NikGaps. Device feels sluggish, scrolling is not fluid. I set bigger fonts, but the change was inconsistent. On plus SafetyNet pass without problems.

Then I have tried 7.16 with NikGapps. This version works well, but PlayStore says device not certified. Maybe because of gapps version? Anyway, 7.16 is marked as abandoned, so I stopped testing.

Looks like at the moment there is no good version for everyday use. My best wishes to developers in hope that it will change son.
[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 ROMs/Kernels/Recoveries/Dev.] morfikov:
The 8.4 version works well for me. I have no problems with it.
[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 ROMs/Kernels/Recoveries/Dev.] AdiThX:
I can also attest to same problem as popej. Device is very sluggish, and even after I turned off the animations it lags here and there. Scrolling stutters. I have done a fresh installation, previously installed AncientOS. I cleaned everything and installed this ROM and MindGapps 12.1. I have resetted once also. I have not installed anything heavy or background intensive apps till now. Battery life is good. And banking apps work flawlessly, safetynet passes. But yeah, device is sluggish too much
[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 ROMs/Kernels/Recoveries/Dev.] TomekParuszewski:
After flash FW, ROM cdDroid LAVA and gApps reboot end in SHRP Recovery. What should i do?

I have Redmi 9 lancelot
[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 ROMs/Kernels/Recoveries/Dev.] morfikov:
Maybe you have flashed SHRP to the boot partition?
[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 ROMs/Kernels/Recoveries/Dev.] TomekParuszewski:
I uploaded the img image via fastboot

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

so I did rather well (rather).

But not knowing how to do that I came up with a "brilliant" idea and uploaded the latest shrp from the zip package from within shrp itself.

Aaaaaand now i have a soft bricked phone (I think), because phone is in bootloop - can't get to recovery and fastboot. I'm planning to use the SP Flash Tool, we'll see how that goes.
[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 ROMs/Kernels/Recoveries/Dev.] TomekParuszewski:
I did not format the partition before installing the new rom..
[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 ROMs/Kernels/Recoveries/Dev.] TomekParuszewski:
Hi, I have crDroid 7.16 on a Xiaomi Redmi 9 and I'm struggling with constantly killing one of the apps. I am using AIMP to listen to audiobooks and there is a bookmarking feature - however, when I enable pause in AIMP for (some time), returning to the program restarts the song I am listening to to the beginning. What should I change in the system so that it doesn't kill the application in the background?
[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 ROMs/Kernels/Recoveries/Dev.] morfikov:
Go to the app properties and its battery usage. Play with the settings you find there.
[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 ROMs/Kernels/Recoveries/Dev.] TomekParuszewski:
I think I have checked every possible battery and app setting - maybe there is a bug in battery optimisation? My crDroid is no longer mainteined, so if i will have more time i will flash more recent ROM - and then i will see
[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 ROMs/Kernels/Recoveries/Dev.] morfikov:
I'm using 8.4 and all the apps with the battery optimization disabled work just fine in the background.
[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 ROMs/Kernels/Recoveries/Dev.] TomekParuszewski:
At the moment I have crDroid 8.4 and the bookmarks work properly (i.e. my problem is solved), but I have the latest version of AIMP downloaded from the app developer - whether that makes a difference, I don't know.

System settings:

Battery/Battery usage/(AIMP) With optimization
[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 ROMs/Kernels/Recoveries/Dev.] morfikov:
I just upgraded the ROM to the 8.5 version, and it looks like it works well.
[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 ROMs/Kernels/Recoveries/Dev.] TomekParuszewski:
I did it too, but how long I must have to wait to boot to new system?

[edit]

For me, working solution was flashing crDroid and NIK gapps (core), (it's not enough just to flash crdroid) but

after flashing gapps, system boots, but Google Messages crashing and Goole Store is offline.

Strange but after entering recovery I did not get the request to decrypt the partition (enter pin). I reformatted the Dalvik-Art and Cache and flashed the new system - now I see the crdroid boot animation for a few minutes.

In the meantime I uploaded the last SHRP because I had TWRP and thought that was the reason.

If I upgrade from 8.4 to 8.5 do I have to format DATA (or System) as well?
