Finish installing crdroid 8.2 on willow, fabulous rom so far!

A big thank for rolling on with crdroid on ginkgo/willow!
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] p_void:
I remember flashing this on my sgs4 EU variant. Longest ROM I have ever used on that phone. Thanks for your work, keep it up.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] NeoPreacher:
First of all, thanks for keeping crdroid alive for ginkgo. Now the question. Since the title does not have the 'unofficial' tag are you going to apply for official? (I don't really care, but most likely the question will come up sooner or later anyway)
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Technical:

[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] wsdyleon:
thanks。but i looked up the official site，it seemed like that only Redmi Note 7 Pro and MI A2/Mi 6X were supported。

and does it support ginkgo？or android12？

solved！finnally i find the 16 kernel on kde website！

Is it possible to upgrade from crDroid 6.12 without losing data or should I do a full clean install?
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] holacsech:
If you are switching to an Android version, I recommend a clean installation.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] jer194:
Maybe just try it yourself, after taking a full backup, and putting it to a save place?

You always can do a clean flash thereafter, if dirty flash is failing ...

[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] NeoPreacher:
Latest..? 🤔
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] American_Jesus:
In alternative try OrangeFox
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] kaem84:
I have read in several places that there is no working TWRP for Android 12, so I am asking
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] NeoPreacher:
ah okay. actual twrp based recoveries can for sure flash a12 but you have to decrypt your internal data while flashing using a dfe zip. i don't know if it works with every rom but i know pixel-based roms are also working with encrypted data when using los-based recoveries that are mostly shipped with the rom, look out for it on threads first pages. can't tell more since i've no experience with these. hope it helps a bit. cheers
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] kaem84:
I have installed CrDroid 8. I have used Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt. The system works, it is decrypted. Unfortunately, when I want to enter recovery, TWRP freezes at the logo screen

I installed OrangeFox recovery via the fastboot command and now recovery is working :D

[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Jarod5001:
Hi everyone.

I'm having a reduced internal storage problèmes, it's 15G instead of 64G.

I bircked m'y phone 2 years ago ans fixed it using a tuto from the forum. It worked well apart from a random 2 minutes freeze. after that i installed crdroid 8. The freezing percisted but less frequently until yesterday it stopped at the crdroid logo. Si i flashed the fastboot ROM, twrp, then crdroid then magisk.

While trying to restore, i got insuffisant space, i went to check and i only had 15G instead of 64G. I triée twrp , advanced wipe , repair filesystem. But nothing changed.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] AA0_o:
So CrDroid 8 isn't getting the Novermber patch, is it?

That security patch was kind of important. 😅

Also.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] AA0_o:
Since you've bricked it before, have you re-flashed the firmware?
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Jarod5001:
I reflashed it after.

So I reflashed again the firmware via fastboot, then twrp. Rebooted to twrp, format data, flashed crdroid, Gapps basic, magisk. Rebooted to system and it was back 57G.

I probably forgot to format data the first time.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] gregory_cooky:
Yeah, nice bug. Probably there are many more, but no one undiscovered them, yet. At least officially :-)))
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Jarod5001:
I'm having random freezes and sometimes reboots. I'm not sure where to search or what to do.

I took a log right after a recent freeze-then-reboot.

Since I started using crDroid I witnessed deteriorated phonecall audio quality. I'm almost always on LTE and yet I've noticed that almost always my phone shows H+ during phone calls. It's a showstopper for me. Are there any workarounds?

I used:

VoWIFI OFF

VoLTE OFF

roaming always

mobile data ON

I also tried:

VoLTE ON

No luck.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Jarod5001:
I'm having this problem since yesterday. I already faced the same problem and it was solved only by a clean flash. I don't really want to reset my phone (ginkgo).

I tried clearing cache from recovery with no luck.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] jer194:
Also TWRP 3.6.0-9 works for me.

(It is not available on official website unfortunately.)
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] afaqahmed43:
i cant use a gallery app i've been using for many years because android 12 apparently doesnt let you grant access to root folders? whenever i have to give access it says "to protect your privacy choose another folder"

this isnt the dev's fault i know but id appreciate it if somehow this was fixed? its just stupid not being able to grant access to things knowing what the risks are
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] kaem84:
TWRP 3.6.0-9 works. In that case, I am resigning from OrangeFox. Thank you.

Anybody here who switched from LOS18.1 to this CrDroid 8.2? If so, what is your experience with regards to battery drain (both without gapps installed). Thx for your feedback.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] jer194:
I have switched from crDroid 7.11 (similar to LOS18.1 I think) to crDroid 8.2,

no gapps, and I haven't noticed a difference in battery drain.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] AA0_o:
How do I go about updating firmware to A11?

Is the zip file installed through the recovery?

Wait up. I installed OrangeFox recovery and sideloaded CrDroid 8 and it just works... but I had LineageOS17.1 before... so there is no need to update the firmware?

Or is it shipped with the ROM or Recovery?

I'm so confused.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Uluru25:
Firmware is usually not included in any custom rom. If your mobile phone is running as expected (e. g. Sim-card is detected, bluetooth, wifi, and gps is working) I do not see a need that you have to flash a different firmware.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] AA0_o:
I find it odd that everything is just simply working, but as you say it is a good idea to leave it as is.

EDIT: The stock camera is freezing in some modes so I may have to update firmware anyways.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] forart.eu:
The ROM is really nice (and stable, at the moment), but new toggles menus instilled a doubt in me: is this version based on AOSP ?
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] advlpr:
Hi.

crDroid is based on LineageOS.

For ginkgo, latest LineageOS version is 17.1 (Android 10), but I can currently download crDroid 8.2 (Android 12).

How does this work? I guess releasing crDroid based on a newer AOSP is far from trivial.

Thanks.

A dirty flash from CrDroid 8.2 to 8.3 brought me to bootloop. Does anyone has any idea what went wrong or what did I miss?

I was using adb sideload command as TWRP does not support Android 12 yet. And the device was rooted with Magisk.

Same here. I cleaned cache, dalvik, system, and installed 8.2. but stuck in boot logo. I tried everything (DFE, Gapps, Magisk, Firmware), but none works. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] lefteriskmail:
1) Ι flash the official Xiaomi firmware

2)Then I flash version 8.3. The version was "poorer" than 8.2 in apps.

The camera app is the standard aosp, not the one in 8.2.

I chose Greek language and not all menus were translated.

3)I flash the nikgapps and they all dissolved.

4)I did a factory reset and flash the bitgapps. Errors on startup.

5)I flash again the official xiaomi firmware and then cdroid 8.2, cdroid 8.3. The same things.

I won't bother anymore.

Strange problem with my willow...

Crdroid 8.2 works fine ! But since 8.3 and 8.4, both dirty and clean flash, I can not unlock my smartphone with the fingerprint sensor. This one seems just off (battery saving?). Because once the smartphone unlocked by code, it works perfectly, with my banking application for example. I add that I had the same problem with Pixel Experience 12, the fingerprint unlocking worked correctly with the first versions, and then started to dysfunction with the updates.

So I come back to 8.2, but it seems that I'm the only willow user which is affected by this problem...

Hello,

After my clean flash to version 8, i installed gapps by your link in website. Since all apps are working well, I have faced one issue and maybe you can advice me:

- When I try to install or run AndroidAuto application, that gives an error message as this app is not built-in for the operating system and not working. How can I fix or bypass this problem ?

[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Kaan Tonyali:
Gracias

Now I have 2 minor issues:

1- Tinder app can not get location and gives error even I have already given access for that. Not important but I guess there is a trick for that and it might be useful for other apps if I can solve this 'location service' problem (attached image file)

2- Now, Android Auto can work on OS but something blocks that connect to car via USB cable. Bluetooth access looks fine. Also I am open to car apps for better exprience if you have suggestions for it.

Thanks in advance

hi. got bootloop when updated from 8.2 to 8.3 (with twrp, since ota failed) maybe because didnt decrypt before. when tried to restore twrp backup it failed, and showed many folders on internal memory (i believed it got corrupted)

so i changed from twrp to orangefox, formatted data and clean installed 8.3 with nikgapps, flashed dfe and playstore didnt work. so i redid the install without DFE, and got playstore working

now, if i try to update through orangefox now, without DFE, would i get bootloop again?

what boxes should i check when doing a backup in orangefox so i can restore if the update breaks the system?

i want to try to update without dfe first so i dont lose playstore, but i want to be able to restore everything if something fails again

thanks in advance

edit: do i need to decrypt storage to do a proper restore?
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] SaidJan:
For version 8.3 and 8.4 I had to reset factory (wipe data).

Steps which worked for me:

1- Wipe cache, dalvik, system, data.

2- Flash Rom and reboot to recovery.

3- Flash gapps for A12.1 and Magisk and DFE and reboot to system.

8.4 has lots of UI changes compare to 8.3. I wish we could have all the changelogs.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] skarton94:
didnt wait and tried flashing 03.04.2020 DFE and got bootloop. reflashed dirty 8.3 and got fixed

did the same with 11.02.2020 DFE. got bootloop. could fix the same way

no problem updating through orangefox to 8.4 (dirty flash)

also discovered the first time i got bootloop when updated from 8.2 to 8.3, was because i used the ota rom (through recovery), instead of crdroid recovery rom

maybe my problem with dfe is beacause havent flashed magisk

after reading in telegram "Redmi Note 8/8T Info Channel": discovered a a zip for flashing DFE before encryption (dated 2020.10.08 [https://t.me/Rn8Infos/13]) and one to flash encrypted data (it says it might work [https://t.me/Rn8Infos/14]).
