[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
LOS is on a weekly cycle (Sunday, every Sunday) - unless there are server-side issues or upstream code issues (but it's VERY RARE), so every week there is a new OS update. This .zip is a full OS update that includes the entire ROM plus all recent fixes, this is baked and released every week. You can use the zip (ROM/OTA) as a NEW install, or an UPDATED installer (to update an existing LOS 19.1 to bring it current), it's great!

This means every week; the new ROM will contain all recent fixes for recently found bugs and security exploits (they are usually fixed in the next release). If this was stock or a mobile provider firmware, it could be months before the same bug or exploit is fixed and reaches your device. For me, LOS is the only obvious choice, I need a secured and bug free ROM, so LOS is it for me!
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] legend876:
I'm saying....I'm glad I switched to Los because it's the best experience I ever had on my device plus the battery life even better than before tbh....Soo I think this ROM is the best for me also really enjoyed using it.....
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
Agreed, but you did note the update on Sunday (in reply to my post about weekly updates) so I was clearing the air.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] legend876:
Ik man thanks for that because I didn't know honestly btw can I delete the update file after I updated
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
All good buddy, I delete them after as well (from LOS/updater), no need to keep them on the device unless you need the zip for something else. Once you boot it (after the update), its applied and valid, so its no longer needed. You can always re-download again from LOS, if ever needed.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] hoanvu1100:
Sorry for bothering you, but can you give me the Gapps use for crDroid which is similar to stock's? I cant find anything for Android 12.1, lastest crDroid ver. Thank you and sorry for my bad English
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Curiousn00b:
Check FlameGApps and NikGApps.

NikGApps is my go-to. You can modify what you want installed through a .prop file inside the zip as well as debloat stuff by plugging in the path to it.

There are also different versions of the GApps, a "stock" version included. Visit the websites and you'll be able to read what they include.

I'll have to test that out and pay attention to my WiFi speed/strength. I have my house blanketed in WiFi, so it's strong even when I'm outside, speed included, but I didn't notice anything on my end. 😅
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
NikGapps - Custom Google Apps Package!

Was also my recommendation
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] hoanvu1100:
Thanks both of you. I used Flame cuz Nik gone wrong after changing .prop file lul. Just one error for me is the "Wallpaper and Style" gone crash everytime I want to change my wallpp but i think its not a big deal tho. Great ROM as always
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Curiousn00b:
If that's crashing for you, check your installed application and show system apps, then find the wallpaper app. See if there's 2 installed.

One is normally the Google version and the other is the AOSP version or something like that. As for NikGApps, what did you do within the prop? All you have to do is edit what you want installed by changing 1 to 0 if you don't want it or 0 to 1 if you do want it.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] hoanvu1100:
I do have two of it but none of them are uninstallable. I tried turn one of them off but still crash. No worry, not a big deal. Thank you tho.

Edit 1: One more thing, sometimes I can't open full QS, it just stuck at the minimize QS, any solution?

I don't know if this is too much to ask but can you make the clock position on status bar a little bit to the right to make it symmetrical with icons at the right side of the status bar. This happen with every rom I've tried (Lineageos and crdroid). Here is the difference between stock and custom rom. You can see that the clock position of custom rom is closer to the left edge than the stock one

No issues here. Everything seems to be working. Great customization! I really appreciate you baking this!
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Honkette1738:
Issues i've had so far:

- Clock offcenter (unsure if it's a crd/los problem, someone on telegram claimed it's an AOSP problem)

- Other power menus not working (also unsure if it's a crd problem or not)

- Camera often doesn't switch to the telephoto one when going to 2x zoom, you need to go to 2x, switch to another setting, and switch back. It happens in crd camera app, stock gcam, and modded gcam.

I gotta be honest, I haven't had the best experience with cRdroid in the past (10/11), so I wasn't planning to test the 13 ver but a user needed help, so I did. Here's the kicker, I AM VERY GLAD I did, its REALLY cool!

Well done putzwon, this ROM is awesome, everything works, and no bugs, or issues! I will probably remain on cRdroid for my daily driver for the foreseeable future (its THAT good and THAT stable)!

Great update @putzwon. I found a work around for com.android.hbmsvmanager. With root explorer navigate to /system/system_ext/priv-app/ HbmSVManager folder and delete. I'm not facing any fc's with system or ui, plus battery life has improved greatly.

[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TheLastShadowChaos:
Wanted to say I'm running your May 29th build of crDroid v8.5 OP and I'm loving how smooth it is. I did fail safetynet and had to run shamiko with zygisk's deny list along with universal safetynet fix, but other than that everything is great! I'm having less overheating issues than I had with other roms (It's very hot this summer lol) and my pixel is just running buttery smooth, as well as the battery lasts so much longer! Thanks for distributing!
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
Why not just run LSPosed (zygisk) + universal SafetyNet fix (enable MAGISKHIDE within MAGISK) and skip Shamiko? I found MAGISK + deny list works best, but any other method wasn't sure-fire (so this is why I am asking). Why choose Shamiko but not MAGISK + SafetyNetFix? Why overcomplicate when you only need LSPosed and SAFETYNETFIX, then done. You will pass SF AND Google Play will be certified (Netflix/Disney/ETC).

I am not saying your method is wrong, or anything like that, so don't take offense. I like to tell users to keep it simple (when you can), and this is the simplest method I have found that works 110% of the time, every time. It's my GO-TO ROOT/SF fix, so I am also curious what you gain (if anything) using Shamiko over SFFix+LSPosed?

Your method is similar and the only change I would recommend is to remove Shamiko and include LSPosed (which you probably have already) with running the UniversalSafetyNetFix. You don't really need Shamiko (in my opinion) but I could be wrong so let me know why it chosen. I am asking because unless you have some crazyass service I never heard of (that requires Shamiko), it's easier and more stable in my opinion. I use my TD, Chase, and all banking apps for my company on my ROOT'd phone, all day long so I haven't found a need for anything else yet (so let me know why this choice was made to use Shamiko).

ALL that being said, if Shamiko does work on an app I don't know about or have, please also share that with me so I know for future development. My point is, I use a ton of apps, I am a senior sys architect / senior C++ dev, and I have my own company (and also operate a large MSP hybrid cloud for my main job), so I use a TON of banking apps, and my clients do as well, but we haven't had a need to use Shamiko. If this changes in the future, I want to jump on it, so please share your feedback and thoughts!
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TheLastShadowChaos:
I actually have needed to use it with one of my banking apps, fintwist, but until a few months ago I haven't messed with root or custom roms since the Galaxy S4+, so I'm actually still learning all of the newer stuff 😅 I didn't realize or test any easier methods other than using lsposed with xprivacylua (which I'm still learning how to use properly) took me a lot of trial and error to get to where I'm at least mostly confident in a lot of this... But I know I still have a lot to learn!
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TheLastShadowChaos:
Meant to quote you oop
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
All good, thanks for the explanation and that's where I was going, simplicity. I just wanted to make sure you tested the easiest method with the least used add-ons (modules). I found over time with development and custom android use, that the less you have running as a custom module, or kernel, ETC, the better and more stable it runs. Especially when you find an issue that no one else seems to have, that's when it gets tough to troubleshoot. That's my main goal, uniformity so we can best help. It's extremely difficult to assist when there's deviations (different magisk and/or modules running), so simple is key in my approach.

All that being said, I've never used fintwist before so please test it and us know the outcome with the easy approach so we're all on the same page. You could find that fintwist DOESN'T work so that's what we need to know.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TheLastShadowChaos:
Your method worked just as well, though I used the Magisk Deny list since I'm on 24.3 and enabled enforce denylist. With Universal Safetynet fix and LSPosed I pass safetynet! I added fintwist to my deny list and am still able to get past their root protection!
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
PERFECT! Thanks, I expected this result, but I do not use that service (fintwist) so I couldn't confirm, but I am glad you did for others! Also, I highly recommend adding ALL apps to the deny list except the ones you need ROOT for, that way you don't need to worry about it in the future (in fact I disable ALL apps) and ONLY remove from the DENY list when I need ROOT. For something like TiB, I leave it off permanently as Titanium needs ROOT, but otherwise, ALL apps are on the DENY list!

This method is the tried, true, and tested method from John Wu (MAGISK dev), so I don't take credit for it. I only take credit in bringing it to light for noting it in rebut of your method (only to show both sides of the coin) but not to say this one is right, and yours was wrong, NO, not at all. I am just pointing out how easy the process is (and no need to make it harder than needed). Using just the two (SafetyNetFix + LSPosed Zygisk) is the simplest method, so if/when there's trouble, you only need to disable those two modules, and its undone. Then we can dig in to troubleshoot the true underlying issues (without fearing unknowns from a bad module for example), so I try to ONLY recommend using this method, over anything else.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
This goes to anyone here, using crDroid, I used to use it on my older Piel 2XL and liked it (I think it was one of my older pixels), but I can't 100% remember, but it doesn't matter for this question. The question I am asking is about this ROM for the Pixel 4 XL and is for anyone currently using it.

Can you guys/girls report on stability, battery, performance, ETC.? I am thinking about jumping to it for a bit to test (usually I am LOS). Usually, I ONLY run LOS (for the open book / open code review), so I know what goes into it and add/remove what I don't like (for security/performance/bugs/ETC). That means I am usually on my own LOS, or an official LOS, but not so much other ROMs (except for testing to help users) SO, before I jump, or prep to jump to crDroid, how does it perform? Any bugs I need to forewarn about, or performance issues, ETC?

Thanks in advance, as I don't have the time to test, and roll back if it's no good.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
Ahh good to know, thanks. I use those pretty heavy so if it's buggin out, then I'll wait for a few updates.

I've had to many issues with custom launchers and recents, so I'll wait it out.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TheLastShadowChaos:
Thankful for quickstep fixing it, at least until it gets fixed. The issue seems to be with crDroid's home app seeing as it pops up on the not responding popup sometimes. Maybe it can be fixed by manually updating the launcher itself? Then again there is a small chance it could be one of my other magisk modules. I still run a couple for some features I don't get normally with this rom.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
Yup that's what I expected to hear, that's when I usually have issues too. I just stick with default left alone and 3rd party as default, but not touching the default launcher (no freezing, no disabling). That works for the most part if using 3rd party launchera.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Curiousn00b:
I can't remember having issues with the default launcher but I tend to use the Pixel Launcher Mod anyways. You can always try flashing a different rom's default launcher as well. I've seen the people who made the Pixel Mod Launcher also release other rom's default launcher for other roms.

As for performance, I've been hooked on crDroid due to the many features within the rom. I don't tend to experience bugs like that and everything on my end has been completely fine but your use may vary. Battery life, nothing is eating away and I stopped comparing that with roms ages ago since it seems to be all user based, but the rom does have a WiFi and Bluetooth timeout timer to turn them off when disconnected after a certain amount of time, so maybe that'll help save some battery as well.

The one thing I will say that I haven't been able to achieve, which is completely possible that it was whatever I flashed caused it, I just couldn't get to safe mode no matter what I did to disable Magisk(even with the boot protection installed. Maybe safe mode would've worked if this worked as well, so probably just a brick).

As for GApps, I use NikGapps after messing with FlameGApps, and MindTheGapps. It just had more customization and things within the zip, but Live Caption is the one thing I haven't gotten working no matter which GApps I flashed.

That's my little lengthy take on it, but I'm def hooked on this one at the moment.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
That's what I like/need to hear, thanks. I also never go by anyone's battery reports, but I DO go by if users X,Y,Z all say, oh my battery is draining like crazy. Then I know its in the ROM and something wrong, but yes, agreed 110%. EVERYONE's use will vary! I should have been a little more clear on the battery piece, but you got it any ways and answered what I needed.

I am 50/50 on trying it to be honest. MY device is PERFECT right now, and I have almost everything I want (in LOS), but LOS is so vanilla blah (BUT rock-solid stable). I like a decent, customizable ROM, that's flawless and stable (with decent performance/battery) so it's hard for me to break a perfect system, to try an unknown ROM, but I think I am going to soon.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
I made the jump this morning to crDroid this morning and boy am I glad I did! I REALLY like it so far, and as long as it remains stable with no buggies tripping later on, I will remain on it! I LOVE the customization, its EXACTLY what I was lacking in LOS/descendant so this is my new GO-TO assuming it remains stable (its fantastic so far) and assuming no showstoppers (like RIL issues) but again, its rock solid so far! I doubt I would need to leave crDroid for any bug/issues but time will tell!
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
so far pretty good, actually really good, BUT either I am a jackalope and didn't see it (not in sounds like normal), or its not there yet (showstopper for me), is the "now playing". I can't seem to find it, and I used the GAPPs (MindTheGapps) recommended (which I don't normally), normally I use OpenGapps (no A12 yet), or NikGapps (in place of OG). It might be GAPP related if it's not present, and if it is present, where is it? I am working so I am not fully focusing, but I did go through it and all settings so I might have overlooked it (hope so, because I use it all the time). I also didn't read it in the forum as a known issue, so I am hoping I am just an idiot.
