As I wrote previously, anyone who uses my suggestions needs to know what's he/she's doing.

To get rid of encryption from previous ROM when doing a clean install of the new ROM you need to format Data partition.

A12 and later automatically encrypt partition so after flashing a new ROM it's encrypted and there's no surprise. If you need to decrypt partition you look for the solution for yourself. My comments refer to the issue with waking up a screen from deep sleep.

If you need instruction how to install the ROM look for developer's comment.

Hi dj_tbr,

"make backup, flash new firmware, flash newest rom and this should be gone"

Are you suggesting a dirty flash after flashing new firmware? Or should I start afresh and format data?

I'm getting ready for the new crdroid update, hoping it drops next week.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] dj_tbr:
History was:

Stockrom (waited for unlock period)

Pixel

Havoc

crDroid8.

and finally: [ROM][OFFICIAL][ginkgo][13] crDroidAndroid v9.x (still in use - details with unbricking etc above :p)

same here, mostly when an app wasn't correctly closed --> auto display turn off (mostly when i am playing btd6 and screen turns off, the phone stays black..)

(btd6 uses much cpu)

sometimes i am able to wake up the phone via:

press power, put finger at the fingerprint sensor and pull down the statusbar menu..

No, me too, issues appeared with switching to crdroid 9, on 8 everything was fine..

try without, when its not booting or you get any unexpected behaviour always try again with a clean flash. you should also do the backup with twrp and titanium backup always (but last one wasn't working on android 13 anymore, maybe personal issue) - also make copies of personal stuff like pix, downloads etc..
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] gregory_cooky:
Thanks @dj_tbr for your replay. In case the issue happens again would you be so kind to capture the log via Matlog and send it via Telegram Channel directly to the developer (DarkJoker360 Telegram). The is the best way to quickly have a look at the issue, find the real cause of it and solve it for good for more people, so we don't have to keep posting in the forum and focus on other things...
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Mike-7:
First of all, I like this ROM very much. It's LineageOS for devices that no longer get updates, plus great improvements.

But I have two big problems with it. My antivirus (AVG and Avast) says there is malware in this ROM. PowerOffAlarm and LTE Broadcast Manager. I then reinstalled LineageOS and there is nothing to be found there.

Could someone explain this? I can't use this ROM like that.

Thanks.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Mike-7:
I knew it was a mistake to upload both screenshots. This only results in answers that nobody wants to hear. Please let me decide what is unnecessary for my phone and what is not. Thanks.

No, I don't use two antivirus programs. I've only installed and uninstalled a few to see which ones find someting. These two do.

Yes customROMs are full of modified and unlicensed software. But then please explain to me, if crDroidAndroid is based on LineageOS and both have PowerOffAlarm version 11 installed, why is the antivirus program only displaying a malware message on crDroidAndroid version? That's the question.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] American_Jesus:
Worst thing is the "antivírus" are the malware these days, they only collect data and sell it to third parties.

Scan all files and apps, look for activity. They are free but the employees and resources aren't and need to make profit.

Best option use virustotal.com, Hypatia or LibreAV from F-Droid

hello, i have install andorid auto addon (on basic package installed) and now android auto works via usb cable but not wireless

there are others addon packages to install?
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] pmgying:
While I do agree that AV is not that useful on mobile, I also think Mike-7's concern above is legit. We use our phone to access sensitive data once a while at least. If an antivirus app suspected there is a malware etc, it's important to double check. It is not disrespecting the maintainers and developers at all. I would have double checked what triggered the alarm even if it's my own code.

Now, I've seen antivirus raising false alarm on multiple lineageos apps before. These were then reported to the antivirus companies, which cleared the concerns and added them to their database. So it's probably not something uncommon in the custom rom world.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Mike-7:
Thank you very much for the website and APPs. That helped me alot.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Mike-7:
Exactly what I meant but much better written. :giggle:

That really wasn't meant to be disrespectful to the maintainers and developers. I just wanted to help.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Mike-7:
I've only had the ROM on my phone for a couple of days, but I'm already enjoying it. I think the customizations are a great complement to the awesome LineageOS.

That first of all. Now for the things I found out. I'd really like to continue using the ROM, but these two problems are making me nervous. Thanks to American_Jesus, I was able to do a little more research.

Using LibreAV I generated the SHA265 hashes of these two files. Then I was able to check these hashes with VirusTotal.

This is what VirusTotal found:

PowerOffAlarm: c3bd00ed52179ef3a9f568db12a83594e356d49b5165958ac1464244cf5c30ce

1/65 - Avast-Mobile: APK:RepMalware [PUP]

"APK:RepMalware is a heuristic detection designed to generically detect a Potentially Unwanted Application. A potentially unwanted application is a program that contains adware, installs toolbars, or has other unclear objectives. Files reported as APK:RepMalware may not necessarily be malicious." LINK to Malewaretips

LTE Broadcast Manager: 37dc9466824cdbbff996016c214b66cbed4de87c281b63e1dd36604129d3a6bd

1/61 - Trustlook: Android.PUA.DebugKey

"android.pua.debugkey is not a virus. It is a debug keystore file that is used to sign Android applications during development. It is created by the Android SDK and is used to sign apps with a self-signed certificate so that they can be installed and run on an Android device or emulator during development. However, it is important to note that the debug keystore should not be used to sign apps that are intended for distribution, as it is not secure and can be easily compromised." LINK to Modiod

And now, Mike, what does that mean?

It seems that both apks are harmless. Please teach me better. ;)

VirusTotal shows only 1 alert out of 65/61. That means something.

BUT there are several versions of PowerOffAlarm and LTE Broadcast Manager available for download on the internet and none of them even issued an alert on VirusTotal.

Why is the developer of crDroidAndroid taking this "risk"? Yes, I know now these files come from the Android SDK but why not exchange them for signed versions? LineageOS does that too, at least with PowerOfAlarm (no LTE broadcast manager in LineageOS).

I've calmed down a bit now but still have questions. :unsure:

How to install stock MIUI Camera?

This ROM works perfect, but the camera app is much worse than stock app.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] American_Jesus:
That can be some false positives.

Those apps use system privileges like it should be, and can trigger some AV as malware.

That happen not only on mobile but also on desktops with legit allocations when using privileged access.

Also their opensource, if there's any suspicious code anyone can check it and report.

Flashed latest India firmware, flashed latest Rom (Feb update) and the blank screen issue during phone calls has dissappeared : )

One new bug - the phone is not sounding the ringtone whenever there is a phone call or message. It just vibrates even if it is set to "ring" mode. I've tried changing the ringtones but nothing is sticking. I have a Mi Band which I'm relying to notify me of any calls/messages
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] American_Jesus:
Try clean app data (settings -> apps -> 'app with issues') and setup again, maybe some sound changed and lost his "location"

[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Jatin Verma x821:
I had tried this rom in december but changed because incoming calls weren't appearing on screen. Installed this rom again today, latest version. Same problem. When my phone's screen is off for some time, and someone calls me, I can only hear the ringtone, but it's not visible on screen. I open my phone, it keeps ringing, but no notification of incoming calls is visible either. It's when the call ends that I see a notification of missed call.

Latest version as of now with nikgapps core.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ndshah2:
Had the same issue.

Flash the latest version of your region's firmware, then dirty flash the latest version of the ROM again. That solved it for me
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Jatin Verma x821:
I already had the latest firmware in both tries. And even if the dirty flashing trick works, I won't be doing it for now. Too tired of changing roms. Not a good idea to change rom when I use my ginkgo as my daily driver.

Hi! I like this ROM, it is fast and clean. But ... Does anyone know how to install Revolut in this ROM? And how to start debugging? Now ADB can't see this phone.

Edit: So..., I installed Revolut from the .xapk file and Revolut works. But ... with the next problem "Google Pay can't be set up for contactless payments on this device" I don't have the strength to fight anymore. I give up, I go back to MIUI.eu

Edit 2: I made a new flash of this ROM and hid in Magisk everything with google name. Revolut and contactless payments work :)

what should I pay attention to when installing this A13 rom?

as i read somewhere else when install A13 rom, need newest (A11) firmware to flash first.

but the description of this crdroid A13 rom does not mention it.

is it missing, or doesn't matter, or is the A10 firmware also good for this version?

Hello, I am using this ROM - crDroid for Redmi Note 8/8T | Android 13 (Build date: 2023-02-14) on my XIAOMI Redmi Note 8T 3/32GB.

I have two questions:

How to enable SPLIT SCREEN function in this OS? On original MIUI V12.5.6.0.RCXMIXM this Split-Screen function was working perfectly.

Also how to increase Internal Storage by using SD card? Is it possible?

I am looking for information on how to buy a good aftermarket battery.

I had expected to find a Guide or a Tutorial or at least a forum discussion, but I did not find anything on XDA-Developers or with internet search. My phones are older models, and I see lots of aftermarket brands on Amazon. I have tried eBay and found that those "new" battteries have been salvaged from used phones.

Is there a seller that can be trusted for good, new, non-OEM replacement batteries? Thanks very much for any help!

Lloyd
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flairepathos.info:
Well not really its a risk reward game with most non oem brands, Check iFixit website and such

Or look for local repair shops, you can usually buy the part for yourself
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LloydEwing:
It looks like Flair only read the first line of my post before he replied. I hope someone with experience or knowledge of buying aftermarket batteries will respond.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk:
He posted a valid response. Finding a OEM battery for even a newer phone can be difficult.

You didn't give the make/model. Start with Ifixit, avoid ebay, and batteries that claim to have "extra capacity" ie get the same mAh capacity.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LloydEwing:
Blackhawk,

Thanks for your advice on extra battery capacity. I have four older phones that I am working on, trying to get one that is reliable. (Two of them are the Samsung S4, which has a removable battery. Others are the LG G5 and LG Stylo4.) I have seen enough online procedures for replacing batteries that require dismantling the phones so that I think I can do that successfully, but taking a chance on a bad replacement is not an option.

Are you saying that IFixIt is the most trusted source for non-OEM batteries? Is it the only one? Is it worth spending twice as much on IFixIt as on Amazon? (And IFixIt won't give you the shipping costs until you get to the end of the purchase procedure.)

I do not mean to be critical, but I do not understand the other things posted by Flair. I assume that "Well not really its a risk reward game with most non oem brands" is a typo? And why should I go to a local repair shop and pay their mark-up for a battery that I could probably buy myself from the same source?

Perhaps I am confused? I wonder if the sources and brands of good aftermarket batteries is a closely held trade secret among the businesses that install them?

Thanks for you help!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk:
You can compare the ifixit battery image to other suppliers; it seems they're all Chinese, use the same brand. I prefer ones made in Vietnam, the OEM supplier for Samsung but try finding those.

Use a reliable vendor only. Having to do it twice isn't saving you anything.

The benefit of a small repair shop is they may allow to watch... and learn the tricks the painless way. Many have reasonable prices.

You will need the right tools and skillset to use them effectively. The last thing you want to do is bring a phone to a repair shop in pieces after a failed attempt. A shop also bears the responsibility for any damage done during replacement... or if the battery is defective. Pay with a card to help cover yourself.

If it has a LCD display Do Not get any solvents or solvent vapors near the LCD. They are open vented on the side and suspectable to solvent poisoning which will destroy them. Otherwise small amounts anhydrous isopropyl alcohol can be used on adhesive tapes to make disassembly easier.

I'm nearing replacement time, again, for my N10+ battery so I can empathize. Parts procurement can be a real pain. After watching the repair the first time by a shop I realized it's not that difficult at least for me to do. Going into it blind would've been much more difficult had I not had that real time learning session. Knowledge is power.
