He is not you, he does not think like you do.

Android File Host is a file hosting system. To compile a ROM it can eat 300+GB of local disk space. They handle backups for you, its like a free drive managed by someone else. Maybe he posts it on a free drive to access it from a different site or by another friend. He may use a cloud based build server that auto uploads the finished ROM to AFH, and then downloads it to a laptop/local PC at his leisure (there a whole thread on this process here on XDA, its not uncommon). There are sooooo many reason one could upload to AFH without expecting others to use it, while not being bothered if they do. The ones I gave above are only examples, and not definitive in any way.

Has anyone tested both A12.1 Bliss and crDroid? which has more features?
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] Raj Pandiyan:
Exactly bro...
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] Raj Pandiyan:
I feel cr has almost everything. It's flawless to use. Above all its a personal choice brother. Best option is to experience both and pick one.

I feel cr suits me more. Next in line will be PE Plus ( Considering the timely updates ).

The only thing which I feel missing is the Updater. If that's included then nothing like this ROM
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] Raj Pandiyan:
I, in a way slightly have a different thought. He wanted ppl to use it. That's the only reason he has given his comments in description of every release. If he wants to use it to himself why would he do that.

In my point of view, he is just doing his passion and he is unsure of giving continued support as it's just his leisure time pleasure or may be a hobby. And XDA forum will force him to work slightly extra as compared to his present independent leisure work.
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] DiamondJohn:
Im unclear, did you try Bliss? If so, did it have LESS or MORE features / config?

I wish to minimise my time trying ROM's, if someone else can tell me if there are more features/configuration (a major deciding point), I am not asking which one you personally prefer. As a dev. configuring my phone ready for daily use, specific for my use, is something I wish to circumvent if at all possible.

I have built and distributed many ROMs here on XDA, including RR and crDroid. I only used RR for my daily (until Oreo, where I switched to HavocOS), BUT most (it seemed like all) who downloaded my builds, preferred crDroid. I never understood it, they couldnt explain it, as RR was just as stable, was not lagy but had considerably more features.

Regarding the updater, only official builds will have an updater.
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] Lada333:
Damn, I have no idea what it takes to build a ROM, didn't know it uses that much storage space, nor that cloud based build servers exist.

This all does make a lot of sense, and could very well be what's behind his uploads.
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] Lada333:
cr does indeed have everyhing, but I've discovered far more tiny/annoying bugs on cr than on any other ROM.

Just to list a few for example:

The animation of the heads up notifications sometimes randomly freezes for about half a second while appearing

Tapping on a heads up notification to open the app the notification is from, sometimes causes the app to freeze while launching. I have to clear it from recents, then open the app manually, since the notification is gone by that point.

Raise to wake gesture is super buggy/sensitive for me. When I lock the screen, then proceed to put the phone down on my desk, the motion of me putting it down triggers the screen to turn on

PE Plus has only a fragment of features of cr. It feels more like vanilla LOS with like 1-2 features sprinkled in there. I hate how in almost all P4a ROMs, there's this "pixel 1 hack for Google Photos unlimited backup in original quality" which doesn't work, and has not worked for years now. SuperiorOS didn't have it, and while cr does have this spoof, you can turn it off under miscellaneous. I can finally back up my photos in storage saver mode and not use up any of my drive storage! Yay!

Updater is *technically* included, but since it's an unofficial ROM (if we're still talking about cr, and not about PE (plus), it doesn't work.
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] Raj Pandiyan:
See again I told the ROM completely depends on personal choice.
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] Lada333:
Sure, but personal choice and personal preference doesn't really define what flawless is, no? A bug is a bug, no matter what ROM you prefer :D
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] Raj Pandiyan:
I completely agree brother. 😉 For me, I feel this ROM is complete...
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] DiamondJohn:
I tried comparing a YT vids of CR and Bliss to compare options. A couple of difference I saw was that the ROM specific settings appear "fancier" in CR (using a multi tab interface) as Compared to Bliss (uses "drill down"). But in CR I didnt see the option for Quick Tile on click animations (eg rotate) and the related interpolation. Is this feature available in CR?
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] Lada333:
I don't think so. These are all the settings in crDroid settings -> quick settings
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] DiamondJohn:
In the video its under crDroid settings, which I would guess its in the first page of settings. Its a similar location to where havoc specific settings where found in Oreo.
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] Lada333:
Yeah? That's the menu from which I've taken the screenshot from?
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] DiamondJohn:
Your image looks totally different. Your screen as no horizontaal scrolling visible, or the tab headers at te top
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] Lada333:
Yeah, cuz I took an extended screenshot of the Quick Settings menu :D
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] DiamondJohn:
well if thats the case, its confirmed as not there.

Two three points

1. Simple text saying NO would of sufficed.

2. The "extended screenshot" is missing the top :oops: , which is a pretty important identifier and feature giving context

3. Please use thumbnails instead of the full image inserted into posts. Especially extended screenshots.
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] Lada333:
You also saw it in the video that literally you have linked that the feature is missing. Why ask it here in the first place then?

I am aware, however I did give context, it's right above the screenshot.

Plus, you could also make the educated guess that:

I took the screenshot from a menu which has Quick Settings options - since that's what you asked about

It is the Quick Settings menu, because it's literally the same as in the video you linked
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] DiamondJohn:
Because I was in disbelief. I also know from building ROMs, some features can be turned on or off by the dev building the ROM. It was also possible that crDroid had that setting hidden somewhere else not shown in the video, but somewhere where users (such as yourself) would of found it. Not all android settings are where I personally expect to find them. There is also the question as to versions. And as I said, a simply NO would of answered it. There was no need for the extra steps of doing and uploading a screenshot.

In IT, making a "guess" is making an assumption, and we all know what that leads to. Again, a simple "NO" would of clarified and answered it without a doubt. Also, you are using a user selected theme, which also confutes the screenshot and trying to visually match it to the video. And its NOT the same, because you chopped off the header which totally removes the important context ie the screen title, while in contradiction, clearly not being concerned with the image size. And when there is an altered image, it can alter what you say, . We humans are visual people, and posting a screenshot pushes that further. I asked about the quick tiles, but I dont know you or how to expect you to respond, and the top of the screenshot literally says "Miscellaneous" NOT Quick tiles.

Also, while typing this, I realised that many are posting how "complete" the ROM is, which my question would highlight for others, it may not be the most complete ROM out there.
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] old.splatterhand:
I for myself search for a GSI version of a rom i'm interested in and flash it on my old Sony xz2c phone. I know, that this can be different in features to the P4a rom, but it gives me a good overview about the rom and it's features.

Right now i have crdroid GSI on my xz2c. While it is very nice i don't like Android 12's design "Material you" and so i'll stay at A11 for a while.
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] DiamondJohn:
With my previous phone, I had a second old broken one (cracked screen) that I used as the test pilot for new builds I did or trying other random ROMs before I flashed it on my daily. I truly understand how good it is to have that option. Even better in my case, as it was the same device! I actually bought another spare as the phone was getting old and cheap for second hand on ebay. 1/10th the cost of a new P4A
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] Marcia8246:
Hi guys! This Rom have full navbar customization? (short press action, long press action ecc...) please is important feature for me
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] Lada333:
Yes it does.
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] Marcia8246:
Thank you! I have installed this Rom yesterday, it's really great but i can't fine double tap to wake... Why?
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] Lada333:
Our devices have (single) tap to wake, not double tap to wake.

It's in Settings -> System -> Gestures -> Tap to check phone.

You may also find relevant settings in crDroid Settings -> User Interface -> Ambient display.
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] Marcia8246:
thank you so much! This is a great Rom! I'm on 7,15 build, other builds are based on android 12? Need to install stock android 12 firmware before flash it?
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] Lada333:
I'm not sure if you need to, but it would be safest to flash stock A12 before installing cr

Even if you don't do that, I highly recommend factory resetting.
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] Lada333:
Hey guys!

New update is live!

Here's the 20220625 build, and here's the boot.img

[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] Lada333:
Wrong thread.
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] AkumDX:
Thanks😅👍
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] tnicko:
Want to thank you guys for finding and posting the ROM. Wow, what a great find. Great customization and feels pretty snappy considering it's a Pixel 4a. I did have some trouble however getting YASNAC to pass and PlayStore to certify the device. Even un-rooted I had issues. I eventually re-flashed & re-rooted with Magisk and installed USNF and MagiskHide Props Config to change the devices fingerprint to pass. Now all is working great. Really like the recents grid layout using the default crDroid home app as well.

Oh, also, there's a new updated dated 16Jul. That's the one I grabbed.
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] Lada333:
I found that it's enough to have your bootloader unlocked/have a custom ROM flashed to fail these certifications. I flashed LOS on my Dad's phone a while back, no root, he won't need it. His banking app still failed to open up, saying that the device is rooted. So I had to actually root it and then add the app to the denylist in Magisk. Works flawlessly to this day :D
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] tnicko:
Strange tho that I've never had this issue with other ROM's I've tried, superiorOS, Bliss, etc. But it may have just been me 🙃
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] Lada333:
Oh okay, good to know. Maybe it's just a coincidence on my part.

I'm not that familiar with coding and how different ROMs are built. Perhaps there's a more logical explanation.
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] DiamondJohn:
I havent followed your story, or started to flash custom ROMs to my pixel 4a. I dont even use banking on my phone. However, a few things have possibly changed.

Are the "other ROMs" different revisions of android?

As time moves on, Google and the banks change/strengthen their tests for certifications. To get a better understanding if its the ROM specifically, you would have to go back and flash the other ROM, and test it against the latest/current/same version of the app that is now failing.

Also, newer ROMs may provide better & more robust features, that weren't available for the same app to take advantage of in an older or possibly simpler ROM. For example, when 30 years ago my friends cars could do over 200km/h. However, my current car has a speed limiter in place to limit it to 180KM/h (never tested it personally) . My current car has a much more powerful & capable engine. The newer electronic fuel injection and integrated electronic speedometer, gives the manufacturer that ability/option, that was just not practicably possible/economical in the old days.
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] Marcia8246:
This Rom with blue spark kernel is awesome!
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] RAYAN SHAIKH:
This rom has no official status!. Is it safe to use??
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] Lada333:
It is very much unofficial. I've been using it for about 4 months now, never had any issues.

Beware though, official cr v8.8 has been released, however that update still hasn't rolled out to our device yet (it got released on the 11th of August). Since we literally know nothing about the dev, he might have abandoned the project.
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] RAYAN SHAIKH:
Ohk thanks buddy

[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] hammered58:
Yes
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Will this ROM made to the official build of crDroid?
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] Lada333:
Likely no.

Not only has the latest update been over 3 months ago, but also the developer isn't part of the official team.
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] Marcia8246:
Anyone have tried the android 13 new update?!
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] DiamondJohn:
You KNOW I had a build coming, and even posted asking about it, and you did not even let anyone else know, just your own wants.

Also, if you read the OP and simply followed the single link, you would also easily see that the same guy has uploaded an A13 version. I detail this in my thread for my build of crDroid A13.

https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-unofficial-a13-0-sunfish-pixel4a-4g-crdroid-v9-5-with-gapps.4593649/
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] Marcia8246:
This is not your work, but of the user Operio Ostendo, I also find it not very nice that you post your rom in a thread that is not yours.
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] DiamondJohn:
When I posted, he had NOT made a A13 build of crDroid. If you read the OP, the thread isn't specifically by or about "Operio Ostendo", but about someone else randomly finding a build of A12 of crDroid. So posting that there is another A13 build of crDroid, especially since he didnt have one at the time, is VERY on topic and helpful to others. Especially since you explicitly failed to inform others, pretending you did know, keeping it a "secret" for yourself.

I dont think you are understanding the real issues and are trying to take a swipe at me because you have had such poor feedback in your posts on my thread (possibly due to your own technical shortcomings). as some kind of misplaced and unfounded retribution.

If you really think it was misplaced, then report the post, and it will be removed if you are correct, do not try a misplaced public attack.
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] old.splatterhand:
Did someone try to download the Crdroid A14 rom by Aperio Ostendo at AFH?

It's always only 10 mb in size for me...
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] DiamondJohn:
Something is not ok. My first attempt using chrome also came <10mb, So I tried using a TOR browser, and noticed the underlined in downloads.

Who is this person????
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] old.splatterhand:
That's a good question! At the end it seems, we have no way to contact him.
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] DiamondJohn:
I found he HAD a youtube channel, but hasnt posted there for around 9 YEARS.

We should mention his name a little more often and maybe someone could create a thread with his name in the title, in case he stumbles across XDA. Just because we don't know him, doesn't mean he doesnt know about us.

FYI: On his success, I downloaded the source, and just kicked off a build... It would be good to know what he had to do out of the ordinary to get it to build. Remembering its unofficial.

DOH! I think it needs to be assigned more memory. It died. Virtual environment. good enough for A13.

NB: for me, now is really not a good time

I'm getting happier with my A13 crDroid build each day.

I don't plan to update to A14 for some time.

I don't have the time right now and am actually using it as an excuse to avoid doing what I SHOULD be doing
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] old.splatterhand:
Real Life first!

I could imagine that it is ok for him to provide his builds but maybe he don't want to provide support...?

I also would use Alphadroid A14 but nobody knows, if or when there will be a build.
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] DiamondJohn:
He could selectively help some via PM, but this device is not his only device, so even that would be time consuming. Our old Sunfish is probably his last concern.

As for AlphaDroid, I originally did an early A13 build, but then found out it then switched to official, so I "stepped aside" and got speaking with the maintainer. AlphaDroid mainly provide support on Telegram (where our maintainer mostly resides). He's been quiet of late (and I haven't had time to follow Telegram either, its a dogs breakfast!), but it is official and therefore he should be pushed to make builds at regular intervals. I am also in contact with the RisingOS maintainer; manother A13 ROM I built early, then stepped away when an official maintainer came forward.
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] old.splatterhand:
Yes, i also follow the Telegram group too. But the maintainer wasn't active since the the end of A13, so i don't know, if he is still working on Alphadroid.

My Pixel 4a should return from repair center today, that would be a perfect time to try an A14 Rom, before i use it as daily driver again.

Anyway, patience is my friend. Maybe...😅
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] DiamondJohn:
FYI: crDroid 10.1 is failing to build. See: https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-compl...ment-from-source-to-end.2814763/post-89361273

Hopefully some will chime in and have a soln on that build thread.
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] DiamondJohn:
Has anyone managed to get a copy of the A14 build of crDroid for the Pixel 4A?

I dont wish to jinx myself (if I believed is such a thing), but after a lot of messing with my system (environment / memory / swap / disks), i am now at 20% through the build!!!!! Of course, that means there is another 80% of compile for failure... 21%.... 22%...

If it completes the build. I'm guessing finding test pilots shouldn't be an issue?

23%.... ....and... 24%...
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] old.splatterhand:
I don't think so. Still waiting if Aperio Ostendo or Alphadroid are releasing a new version.
