Last time I tried to update (via twrp dirty), I had to reinstall the whole system.

How do I can update the Rom corectly without having problems?

Just use the system inbuilt updater?

Do I have to reflash magisk and will an update install the stock apps? Cause I have replaced them with the nikgapps package.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] bl3d2death:
Finally I reinstalled the Rom with a full wipe. Now I'm on 8.5.22 and the lags are better. After I watched the fix notes from the latest built (8.16.22) there is an info for this Problem: "* fix QS expand lag when VoLTE/VoWiFi icons are enabled".

Maybe this will help to full fix the problem. Now Im having less lags, only sometimes when opening the quicksettings bar.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] jacobobbo:
Have someone video lag on Facebook and YouTube ?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] bl3d2death:
As you are saying... today on version 5.8.22 I noticed the first time with youtube vanced, that the video lagged a few times. reinstalled vanced. testing now if it starts to lag again.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Mitku01:
Try clear cache from play store and play services. Still face same problem. Delete face regonition not help either.

Try downgrade to 20220805 but can't boot into OS. so i'm back to 20220816 waiting for new update to fix this problem.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] melonfresh:
This fixed it for me, thanks
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] bl3d2death:
After installing the latest update im not anymore on twrp recovery.

Can I just flash the TWRP via fastboot mode or what is the easiest way to get it back? Can I get problems, cause my device is still encrypted?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] dodyakako:
Same happened to me, but I couldn't fix it, unfortunately. I clean flashed the latest build in the end.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] culltivate:
redo dirty flash but swap to the other slot after flashing firmware and flash there too then swap back and continue with rest of steps.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] bl3d2death:
Last time I ruined my installation by flashing dirty via twrp. Now I used the system built-in updater. Took about 1h, but worked well in the end. Even magisk still worked after reboot.

But now I have the CrDroid recovery and want to go back to TWRP. Anyone knows the correct commands to install it and how?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] dodyakako:
Reboot your device into Fastboot mode, then type "fastboot boot 3.6.2_12-RedmiK40-RedmiPOCOF3_v3.8.3_A12-alioth-skkk_4f7299ea.img" into CMD. Your device will boot into TWRP recovery. To install the recovery permanently, you need to go to the Advanced menu and press the "Flash current booted TWRP" option.

Download the recovery from this link.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] bl3d2death:
Thx. I was able to fix it: flashed twrp via bootloader and then magisk again.

Is the twrp recovery included in cr droid, so I just have to enter your posted command?

Now the system works well again.

But I think, there is still a lag sometimes, when opening the (extanded) quicksettings menu.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] dodyakako:
No, it's not included, but that link have all the recommended TWRPs from the crDroid team.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] bl3d2death:
I get a short freezing/lag during the app minimisation of chrome, threema and Google phone app, if I quick tap multiple times on the home button.

Don't know, but animations seem to make a few problems here.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] jacobobbo:
For me helped dirty flash one again but with flamegapps instead of nikgapps. Try it out next time becouse clean flash and set up take much time as we all know.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] bl3d2death:
I still can recognize lags/freezes. Not so noticeable like 2 builds earlier, but especially with opening the quick settings. Disabled volte + wificall symbols and some other features... Still there.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] SGKyoma:
How can I turn on or add DC dimming? (Note, DC dimmer, not lower brightness or other options)
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] dodyakako:
Mmm. I see. I will try next time.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] jacobobbo:
I got problems wth power button. Phone start to press power button itself as calling on alarmcall or put camera on like shourtcut. I can just slightly touch power button and it react like press and hold. I don't know what to do. Do you have any ideas whats going on ? It takes place also on TWRP :(

[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] TechnoSparks:
If it takes place outside of ROM, it may possibly be a hardware problem.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] :
This is not really specifically related to crDroid, but my bluetooth devices' battery level is only shown if "Phone calls" is set in their settings. Some even don't play a sound when connected if the setting is not enabled. Is there a way to display the battery level, but not use headphones for phone calls? Worst case something like using them for phone calls, but then automatically switching to speaker when accepting a call?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] wokdogol:
thanks OP, dirty flashing successfully here like always! (y)
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] anthony001:
im currently using crdroid 8.7(build date 7-15-2022) on my poco f3 and have an issue wherein when someone calls me the first time the interface to accept the call doesnt show up. It can ring but theres no way to accept it. the problem goes away if they call my phone again the second time.

is this a known issue? is there a fix for this?

Gboard seems to be having issues with clipboard. If i copy a string of text, gboard does not recognise it in the clipboard for a variable amount of time. It's sporadic too. Both flamegapps and nikgapps are exhibiting the same behaviour along with attempts to go to old versions of gboard.

I have found a solution (albeit with a compromise) from Reddit and requires the disabling of “Android System Intelligence”. Note that this will make At a Glance widget not working if you are using Pixel Launcher. Refer Reddit comments for context:

[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] culltivate:
@MarceloM0tt4 try clearing your google play services + wallet + store cache if that doesnt work try dirty flashing latest rom again (make sure youre using 13.0.3.0 eu/global or 13.0.6.0 eu firmware) and latest canary release for nikgapps - use config and exclude setup wizard.

Someone can confirm that there are still lags sometimes (but regularly)

opening the quick settings?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] TechnoSparks:
No lag when opening Quick Settings. I have set it on "right" for "quick pulldown" settings

Is there any way to stop the media playing automatically when earphone disconnect?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] bl3d2death:
Can't fix the lag pulling down the quick setting bar.

Tried nearly every gapps and also pixel and stock launcher.

The lag sometimes is about 1 second. I pull down on the middle of the Home screen and see the border of the settings... Screen freezes for up to 1 second and then the settings comes down.

Must be a specific ROM problem together with my config or some deeper bug in lineage.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] reg66:
I don't have your prolem right now and doubt this will help, but... after flashing a new rom, to make menu's snappier i always go straight to developer options and disable 'window animation scale' and 'transition animation scale', but change 'animator duration scale' to 0.4 or .5

I find disabling them all makes the system/app 'thinking timers' stop functioning. but the pull down menu's etc for settings are a lot snappier. it may help you somewhat, but probably not!!
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] bl3d2death:
Here again a video of the quick settings lags. Mostly i can notice it there... Sometimes also during other animations.

I always did the finger move at the same distance with a short break.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] bl3d2death:
Already tried this. Didn't solved the problem..but thanks for the advice.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] bl3d2death:
Regarding to my problem, is it possible, that yt Vanced could cause such lags? Even if it's not active directly?

Im now testing on arrow os.... Had the same lags here again.

So they are not caused by crdroid. I think one (or more) of my apps is the problem. After the fresh installation I didn't noticed any lag. Only after I had installed all my apps and used some of them.

Will give an update if I get a solution for it.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] culltivate:
@bl3d2death use revanced instead the apks of vanced/vancedManager are sketchy/buggy since its no longer maintained. revanced magisk module or if you arent rooted munchy released a good vid for the process
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] bl3d2death:
Thanks... thats nice. I will use this version from now on.

But i found out right now, without vanced the lags still there.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] wolfydRg:
Some youtube/video module is causing lag when I playing videos. Noted on PixelExperience and crDroid, fresh install. On ArrowOS was fine.

I will try aggain with fresh install starting from eu rom : HMK40_POCOF3_V13.0.6.0.SKHCNXM_v13 . I will post if is fine later.

LE: I confirm, installing with last version of firmware ALIOTH_V13.0.7.0.SKHCNXM I can't play sounds and youtube clips. With ALIOTHGlobal_V13.0.3.0.SKHMIXM is running fine. This on fresh install.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] bl3d2death:
I have no more idea, whats the problem with my config. Looks like I have to handle the few lags. I will try one last clean install. This time without Root, but normal youtube app from play store.

Maybe its a problem with RAM or buffer cache/controlling. As I said, I have the same lag on ArrowOS. I think its no hardware bug. I wont install MIUI for testing it. Finally CrDroid runs over 99% the time super smooth.

Guys, I have a problem with crdroid 8.8, I am getting severe heating and battery drain idle issues, and I seem to have found the problem, the big core (core7) is under full load constantly and is at max frequency of 3187 MHz all the time, while the little cores are all fluctuating like normal, help me solve this issue guys.

CPU Info is showing 47-55 degrees under low usage, (chrome, YouTube).

It may be kernel related , please help.

Thank you.

EDIT: Changing CPU Governor for cpu7 to powersave will reduce speed to 844 MHz, but this still keeps it at 100 percent utilization. The temps have literally dropped 13 degrees, to 35, so please fix this, as limiting CPU speed is not a solution to excessively high usage. See before and after.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] culltivate:
@Reflection06 you sure it isn't some other process ? Have you checked active processes usage ?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Amanda Bento:
I change the recommended FW and ROM and then format and then start recovery mode and step gapps, but still nothing works. I don't know what to do anymore
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] cazaga:
Did you try with nikgapps core following the steps?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] bl3d2death:
Always when I double tap the app progress button to change between the last 2 apps, I get an additional "app" in the bar which is just a white picture. Can't click it. Not on all apps, but with chrome.

Have a small video of it:

Some last words to the laggy quicksettings:

I'm unable to find a solution. I flashed clean for several times. Now I have installed all my apps (150) and the phone isn't rooted yet. Lags still there. I have no idea if it's caused by an app (cause I have started only around bald of them even once) or a deeper LOS problem.

It's strange, that I'm the only one noticing it.

Maybe one last suspicion. I'm not sure, but maybe the lags disappear when flight mode is enabled. After disabling its back after some time... ill have a look on it.

So what function in the quick setting and/or status bar could cause such lags? Network connection?

Thx to all so far.

Edit:

After disabling all status bar symbols problems still there.

After disabling all quick setting tiles lags gone for now. But also after adding all possible quick settings.

Now im running with 8 tiles.... Maybe editing the tiles resets something?! No idea... Try testing now.

For me the battery was very good with this build. Better then before on Android 11 Cr droid
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Reflection06:
So guys, I must admit my mistake, the issue was caused by the miui sound port and miui core magisk modules, the CPU usage issue is fixed after disabling these modules, but there are two new issues I would like to bring to the attention of @raystef66,

1. The call app has issues, when the screen is locked, sometimes the caller will ring incoming calls, but will not show any prompt to accept or decline the call, and unlocking the phone will not show any ui, not even a notification about the call, which keeps on ringing until it is rejected by pressing the power button, after which a notification of missed call will be seen.

2. The audio from phone speakers is terrible, low volume, crackling, bad balance, and stuttering when pausing or playing.

The audio issue was the reason I tried miui sound driver port, I even tried to tune the built in moto audio and even disable moto audio, but the issue persists.

The miui sound port fixes the audio issues, and restores audio quality to stock levels, but causes the afformentioned high CPU usage and temps.

Thanks for listening.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] TechnoSparks:
battery drain for me is on par with stock ROM. My Accubattery reports 8:03 (hh:mm) with screen on, 68:18 with screen off

audio is perfectly fine for me, but i face the same audio issue like you mentioned when i first flashed this ROM, though it was fixed after using the correct recommended firmware version. are you using the recommended firmware version? (just to be sure)

after some thinking and looking at your videos, i am starting to think that the lag is maybe too little for anyone to notice but you. this is because I fail to see where is the lag is in the posted video. I suggest accepting the state of the ROM as-is, because it already excels in other department.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] culltivate:
@Reflection06 try viper4android improved the speaker (and any other device you connect) quality for me, although on stock audio i never experienced crackling or stuttering when pausing or playing.

Settings:
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Reflection06:
@TechnoSparks Yes, I am using the 13.0.3.0 SKHMIXM FW, which is the firmware recommended by crdroid, I could try to reflash the firmware, I did flash it using the instructions on lineageOS wiki, maybe the flash didn't work, but regardless, the phone calling issue is there.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Reflection06:
@culltivate Yes brother, I will try viper4a, but the crackling is not on play pause, it is at high volume, there are crackling or popping sound from the speaker, and when playing or pausing, there is hitching in the audio, any other fix?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] klawe:
1.) about your phone calling issue check in special app settings if overlay over other apps is activated for your dialer app.

2.) sound quality is very good for me.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Reflection06:
@klawe The draw over apps permission is allowed for the phone app, maybe google phone and dailer will fix this?

As far as audio goes, I'll try viper4a.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] klawe:
i had the calling issue too with the True phone dialer app until i enabled this permission.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] culltivate:
@Reflection06 Sounds like firmware.... i never fully understood the flash process for A/B devices when it comes to firmware so i always flash firmware on both slots i dont know if this does anything but you could try it
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Reflection06:
@culltivate Yes I'll try it. But I think it flashed on both slots in the lineage wiki, how do you flash firmware, any way to check firmware version. Thanks.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] culltivate:
fastboot getvar all

doesnt display firmware ver for me, might for you?

to flash just flash the zip file like normal in TWRP

flash firmware ->change slots -> reboot to recovery-> flash firmware -> swap slots again -> reboot recovery -> flash rom (make sure reflash twrp is ticked) -> Reboot to recovery-> format -> flash gapps -> magisk ->reboot system

if you dont format before gapps flash it thinks youre doing a dirty flash idk why format is last on dev's instructions for cleanflash

@Reflection06
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Reflection06:
I have the firmware zip which has two folders in it, meta inf and firmware, I don't think it is flash able, or is it?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] culltivate:
the zip itself is flashable dont extract it or anything.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] culltivate:
@Reflection06 one last thing I forgot, edited on my post, go back to the slot you started on after flashing firmware on the other slot . Since the rom flashes itself to the other slot and sets it as the active one upon rebooting to recovery, incase something messes up youll have the starting slot that you can swap back to.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] TechnoSparks:
Thanks for confirming. Although i am still unsure with why I don't have the same problems

EDIT: i just read latest posts. I recommend using the firmware zip as linked by @\Culltivate
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] TechnoSparks:
I have inspected the updater-script in the flashable zip. The firmware zip does flash to both slots
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Reflection06:
Which place is your firmware file from, although it seems like viper4a has fixed the audio issue.

My firmware is not flashable, it needs to be flashed through fastboot one by one, a flashable zip will be much easier.
