Hi

I've been using CrDroid 9.5 for two days now, and I can say it's been great except for one thing: the heating issue. I was quite surprised when I checked with CPU-Z and saw that the processor was at 85 degrees, considering I was just browsing a forum at that time.

I have the device set to automatic brightness.

I was using Wi-Fi, as mobile data usually causes more heating.

The first four cores of the processor were running at 1804MHz, while the other four cores were at 2000MHz. If I'm not mistaken, the last four cores should be in a "stop" state since I wasn't doing anything demanding.

The battery also dropped from 100 to 58 very quickly during this time. Unfortunately, all of this happened within 1.5 hours.

I thought about lowering the frequency and other similar options, but I wanted to get some suggestions from you.

Thank you in advance for your assistance."
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Jatin Verma x821:
Wow! 85 is definitely too much. I wouldn't take that kind of risk running my phone at such high temps. My current CPU temp is 49°C at normal usage on other rom. You might wanna do something about it quick as it can damage your phone.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] gungorce:
Hi,

I reinstalled Crdroid 9.5. Everything is stable at the moment. Temperatures hover around 40 degrees, which is good value for a scenario like just surfing the web.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Jatin Verma x821:
Glad to hear you were able to resolve the issue. That could have been dangerous.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] monaztery2022:
since update 9.6 my phone can't use fingerprint when screen is off locked.

do you guys have the same problem?
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Lord Raiden:
Yes. They released a hotfix but someone still have issue.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Uluru25:
... have you read the dev's comment in his TG-channel?
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] balfek:
Hi!

i like this rom :)

i used 9.3 (worked near perfect) and some weeks ago i updated to 9.5... and there are some "quality losses".

my observations:

1. too much lagging, slowliness - eg. slow reaction on BACK gesture, eg. Viber much slower inside touching/changing menu/etc, eg. D2W slower in 9.5 than in 9.3

2. after 9.5 update - lot overheating (usually CPU)

3. battery drains much faster

4. shadow touch (or something like that) - e.g. it opens randomly posts on FB during scrolling, eg. randomly change back to previous apps

5. no Terminal in Dev.ops (neither in 9.3 or 9.5) - why?

6. good: sensor block options in crDroids - not too good: system apps cant block in this way.. - why?

7. no option about "fast charging" (or at least i cant find it) - BUT it looks like "fast charging" always is ON - why? (i like OFF state of it...)

8. no DOZE setting - at least i cant edit them tru TeMeFi (maybe compatibility issues with TeMeFi)

9. base camera no 48M - should i install some gcam modded version? (which one is best fitting for this ROM?)

10. Automatic brightness - very often turned to minimal the brightness completely - e.g. while i was on the phone / info: "pocket detection" and phone proximity is off (finally i installed the "Device Health Services" - AND reset adaptive brightness... why this is the only way for that? i would be nice option in crDroid settings)

11. during phonecall sometimes the screen started to blinking / info: "pocket detection" and phone proximity is off

12. i cant update 9.5 to 9.6 directly via own "Updater" - just download, not via recovery mode (when i tried it just booted into recovery.. and stop there - could this be because i use orangefox? or is the phone encryted? )

13. AFWALL shows interesting blocking: it blocks 2-3 thousands of connection attempts per day... from an app(s?) with uid(-100) /but everything is working fine, online, has net connection, etc/

Flashed firmware: fw_ginkgo_miui_GINKGOGlobal_V12.5.2.0.RCOMIXM_75abe1782e_11.0_2

Recovery: OrangeFox

so these are problems for me, but that still makes me like this ROM :)
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] balfek:
ohm... new problem...maybe i need some advice :)

i tried to update via Updater (9.5->9.6).

download - ok. (export to 2nd sd-card - ok)

install... Updater have done "some prerequisites" - ok

"Android system update- Processing the update package"...66%

so i think it is frozen... It's been 15 minutes. (when updated from 9.3->9.5.. there wasnt such situation)

so what can i do?

via Update i found version 6.30

on soundforge i found version 07.03

e.g. does it make sense to use rather v07.03 ?

upd: i chose v07.03 :)
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] forart.eu:
@balfek I always apply updates (both CRd and NikG) using ADB sideload via TWRP and never got an error...

@DarkJoker360 What are these CRDroid (and not only)-specific "Config-Releases" ? Are they better optimized for CR ? Do you recommend that ?
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] pmgying:
I notice at some point, CrDroid seems to have lost the ability to enable/disable "precise location" for location settings. Is it just me?
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] wendel.street.bo:
My first time using the rom. Initially, it exceeded expectations. Great job .

Just a query! How do I access the test menu (CIT TEST ) in android 13? I need to calibrate my sensors.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] pmgying:
I switched to ArrowOS 13.1 and the feature exists. I recall I have been using this feature in crDroid too. There are only 2 changes that I can think of from my side:

1. I've updated my crDroid version. I think this feature worked all the way up to this month or last.

2. I used to use Mindthegapps. However, whenever I install that on the newest version of crDroid, my phone get stuck at the screen of wifi collection. I can enter password, but there are no response or visible actions no matter if I enter the correct or incorrect password. It just stay there. So I switched to NikGApps.

That's the only two changes I can think of. Wonder if any of you have any knowledge about what the "Precise/Approximate Location" feature depends on? Thanks!
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] AA0_o:
I just recently updated from CrDroid 8.x to CrDroid 9.7 (cleaned dealvik cache and cache, kept apps, basically just sideloaded ROM after updating firmware).

I have updated to the latest available ginkgo EU firmware before installing CrDroid 9.7.

fw_ginkgo_miui_GINKGOEEAGlobal_V12.5.12.0.RCOEUXM_f9fdc6c783_11.0.zip

(It's EOL so it will be the latest forever now).

I also have sideloaded NikGapps core.

I feel like my device just doesn't save any power when it is locked, even in airplane mode, the battery is constantly draining according to the system battery usage graph. Did any of you have this issue?

Also, I've verified that when the phone is charged (using the charge limit %) it stops charging but continues to use the battery as a source of power instead of using the connected power cable (this feature was working on 8.x).

Another thing, I've noticed that "Deep sleep" in "settings"->"about" is always at 0%. Is it the same for all of you?

EDIT:

Formatting the phone and then installing crDroid fixed the issue.

EDIT 2:

The original issue was likely caused by having the "pocket mode" enabled.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Jatin Verma x821:
perhaps dirty flash causing these issues for you.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] balfek:
Hi!

i try to update from 9.6 to 9.8

i want decryted internal storage... what should i do?

i have orangefox.

1) DFE is needed? or just FORMAT /data after flashing ROM?

2) which FW/vendor img is recommended?

fw_ginkgo_miui_GINKGOEEAGlobal_V12.5.12.0.RCOEUXM_f9fdc6c783_11.0 (latest EU rom)

-or-

fw_ginkgo_miui_GINKGOGlobal_V12.5.2.0.RCOMIXM_75abe1782e_11.0 (latest GLOBAL rom)?

3) how to install Magisk DURING/AFTER clean install of ROM? (because my current process is a bit slow/it seems awkward:

a) now i must at first copy out boot.img form ROM.zip on PC,

b) reboot into recovery and copy img to SDcard (becaue ENCRYPTED phne)

c) boot into system, patch .img with Magisk...

d) copy patched.img back to SDcard...

THEN HERE comes CLEAN install (recovry, wipe system/data/cache/dalvik, flash FW, flash ROM, flash gapps, ?format data?, then REBOOT...then POWEROFF... adb...bootloader... flash patched.img.... and voilá :) )

/UPDATE on 3): oh, jesus.. just should rename magisk.apk to .zip..??. and flash via recovery??? really, thats all?/
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] American_Jesus:
Use DFE-NEO instead, replace arguments.txt with the one i've attached for simple install (language, settings....)

Yes you can rename magisk.apk to .zip and install
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] balfek:
DFA-NEO? hmm.. i will try next time :) because my inner storage is still encrypted after my method :(

magisk:

1, ok, i renamed magisk_26.1.apk to **.zip...then i flashed rom, nikgapps, magisk, then reboot...

2. after this happened a strange thing: normal boot into system, BUT after system showed "factory reset...wait"... then rebooted into recovery again.

3. i must reflash ROM, gapps... reboot...THEN back to recovery and flash renamedMagisk.zip

4. booted into system.. BUT when i wanted to start Magisk app... got message: "need internet to download lastest...finalize etc"

5. wifi on, magisk started. new message: "need patch rom with NEW(?) requirements, etc"

6. ok, inside Magisk chosen "Install"... chose "direct method"... patching started... peatching finished succesful. need reboot.

7. endless boot....

Where did I go wrong? =)

(last time, under CrDroid 9.6, i patched boot.img from magisk.app, then FASTBOOT process.. and it worked flawlessly.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] American_Jesus:
Use official TWRP, Orangefox is not update to latest Android version.

Download it from the TWRP site https://twrp.me/xiaomi/xiaomiredminote8.html
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] balfek:
wow.. its new to me. thx.

next time i do this too.

anyway - patced_boot.img flashing via fastboot was succesful (as i see now :) )
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] balfek:
some comments after ROM installation /for @DarkJoker360 too/

after 1. day, it works flawlessly, stable, root/magisk ok, battery consumption under investigation - just some minor comments, i still like this ROM, congratulations for devs :)

?- CrHome: has the 'settings" of this been simplified even further? I can no longer find how to increase the number of rows and columns on the Homescreen... 5 rows, 5 columns now. How to increase them????

- Deepsleep / Doze during screen off: I'm still working on improve them... I'll probably install some tweak, definitely for GMS.

- Gpapps/Nikgapps: during flashing of NIKGAPPS, i wasnt able to get 'nikgapps.config' to work - e.g. I put it to 'sdcard1' or 'sdcard1/nikgapps'... how can i use that config file???

!- Nearby devices: i can "turn off" Nearby share.. from a specially accessible menu :9

at first, type "devices" or "fast" in the "Search setting" bar... choose the "Devices"... olla... a menu which cannot be obtained otherwise :) /see picture - options there: "Scan for nearby devices" + "include debug results" options - here default is enabled... though BT AND BT-scanning were off! /

Anyway, where can I find this menu normally??? /not under "Connected devices"... see pic2/

?- Auto Brightness: am I the only one who feels that AutoB too often sets the screen too dark? sometimes the AuBr. started change the brightness setting down without any change in light circumstances. why? (so called "one-shot adjusment" is disabled.)

Otherwise, I am very happy I decided for crDroid
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Jatin Verma x821:

I am trying to install microG to no avail. Either from the Fdroid Repo, or by installing the Magisk microG package, or direct by apk all fails. Sometimes there is the icon in the launcher but nothing happens tapping on it, on reboot the icon is gone and no microG in the system.

Anything I need to know?
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] 2faraway2:
That should work without any probs:

In Magisk 26.1

-> add module 'microG_Installer_Revived_3.2.0-0.zip' (https://github.com/nift4/microg_installer_revived/releases)

Reboot

-> Do the microG initial setup

with the mentioned version you need some location providers like mozilla or dejavu and aditional nominatim to setup the location services

Reboot

PS: More informations on the microG site: https://github.com/microg/GmsCore/wiki/Installation
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] peter-k:
Thanks bunches for the effort! I tried this in various styles but to no avail. I did not find the problem.

I switched to another ROM and there it worked flawless.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] balfek:
hi everyone :)

i'm on 9.8 (aug 18).

there are few thing i dont understand:

a) (launcher) i tried to change Nova Launcher... but if i disable crDroidHome, i haven't Recents, no "swipe up for home" - and Quickswitch (quickstep enabler) doesnt detect NovaLauncher.... why? (+funny: if i leave crDroidHome running in the background AND use Nova... the mentioned functions are working.

b) (launcher) why would crDroidHome need the acc. sensor? (it reads the sensor for at least 2/3 of its operating time)

c) (launcher) launchers' dock is too big - i cant change its size... i miss NOVAlaunchers' functionality (i can put widget into docks)

d) (nearby devices) i can "turn off" Nearby share.. but just from a specially accessible menu :9 at first, in the "Search setting" bar, type "devices" or "fast" ... choose the "Devices"... olla... a hidden menu which cannot be obtained otherwise :) /see picture - options there: "Scan for nearby devices" + "include debug results" options - here default is enabled... though BT AND BT-scanning were off! / Anyway, where can I find this menu normally??? /not under "Connected devices"... see pic2/

https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-official-ginkgo-13-crdroidandroid-v9-x.4498975/page-14#post-88899157

e) (auto brightness) AutoBrightness sets the screen too dark too often - i must reset AB via flashing DeviceHealthService + reset AB activity. After this it works better, but not perfect.

Yeah, I agree with you but for me it's pretty major. Some apps ask for permission to login or accept some financial transaction via a popup notification (wise, skrill etc.) so it's pretty annoying if you use apps like that.

[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] vraptus:
I have a problem with my Redmi Note 8T.

The ROM is generally very good, but if I'm on the phone and a notification comes in, it often (but not always) mutes the microphone and the other person can't hear me anymore. I can't figure it out, it happens without logic: maybe two or three notifications come in and everything is fine but then another one comes in and the microphone turns off, and the only way to fix it is to close the call and (very rarely) restart the phone.

Does this happen to others? Any suggestions?

[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Der Patrizier:
@DarkJoker360:

Thank you for creating this awesome ROM for my daily driver Redmi Note 8T.

I am using it since 6 Months and nearly everything is working fast and reliably.

I would have one question:

Are you planning to update it to 9.12 soon or can I build myself?
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Der Patrizier:
Here is the notification about 9.12:

crDroid.net - crDroid 9.12 released

December security patches also

crdroid.net

My question was if it will be released for this device or not.

And if there will be further updates for the 9.x branch.

Background:

To update to 10.x, I'll have to change recovery and clean flash and install everything from scratch. So I want to delay that a little bit, because I do not need Android 14.

Therefore, I would be happy about the December security patches for Android 13.

But, if the 9.x branch is really discontinued for this device, I will upgrade to 14.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] t0n36:
9.12 and 9.13 has been released too.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Der Patrizier:
Ok, thank you. Did not know about the usual release practices of crDroid developers.

I think dirty flashing is too dangerous for a daily phone if it was not tested yet.

Then I'll maybe have to build the 9.12 by myself or take the time to upgrade the phone to 10.x Android 14.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Der Patrizier:
Ah, thank you. I did not look on sourceforge:

crDroid Android - Browse /ginkgo/9.x at SourceForge.net

Highly customizable Android Platform

sourceforge.net

And it is also not offered by the updater.

So are these inofficial updates?
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] vraptus:
Hi, in my Willow I have crDroid 9.11, is it possible to install the update to crDroid 9.13 that I find on SourceForge from Settings - System - Updates - Local Update?

@DarkJoker360
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Der Patrizier:
On the homepage, this ROM was now set to unsupported.

So I guess the builds on sourceforge are just untested, automated builds.

But I think, they should be installable via the updater's local update functionality.
