I do not have magisk. Do you recommend that I root my phone to bypass this? It's just weird because I never had this issue earlier even with arrowos. Thank you for you help.

Been having a problem with the barclays app for contactless payments the last few days. Noticed there is a new firmware for europe V13.0.11.0.SKHEUXM. Is it worth me trtying this to see if it fixes the problem? I can always flash back to V13.0.9.0.SKHEUXM if it causes major issues right?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] ApexPrime:
Yes you can
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] LasseKongo84:
Thank you very much Devs! I tried flashing the new firmware "V13.0.11.0.SKHEUXM", seems to be working good, booting to system is a bit faster now. I don't recommend to flash it until the the Devs do recommend it! You should stick to the firmware mentioned in the flashing-guide
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] krekis:

[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] yusrilihzam_:
I just installed the latest version, coming from 9.1. I notice that the navbar seems to be closer than before. I already try all the layout but it still to close to me. How to add space between each button ?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] GenericPhoneUser:
I noticed that too. It started being this way since the first 9.2 build, all up until 9.1 weren't like that.

I haven't found a fix to that, and I don't think this change was on purpose. I hope it gets fixed with the next build since I liked the navbar the way it was and don't use gestures.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] yusrilihzam_:
I hope so, navbar is a thing that decide me to stay or not with certain ROM because i never use gesture.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] percharnel:
Does it support apple music or tidal dolby atmos audio processing?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] edixon2021:
I can confirm that dolby audio works on tidal.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] ext23:
My navbar has been screwy lately too. This happens soon after boot and the only way to fix it is to turn navbar buttons off and on again in crdroid settings.

I found that the Dolby Atmos effect of crd9 is not enough, and the bass is not much, can it be strengthened?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Lee Alan:
The latest version still cannot automatically retain Google apps and other plug-ins during installation, system updates have not been available, and audio is played in apps that are not processed by Dolby, and the sound is still sharp and broken. Apart from these, other aspects have been performing well , it would be perfect if it can fix the update and sound effects and system update.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] edixon2021:
Try to disable the AudioFX effect in app and clear the data of Dolby app, and reboot.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] reg66:
What exactly do you mean by this... That when clean installing the Google setup wizard isn't functioning to choose previously downloaded apps, sms etc etc? Or, are you having some other issue?

This is a GApp-less build, you have to download your prefered GApps package. In your case that package needs to have Google Setup Wizard or, if you go for a slim/basic GApps package, you may need to download the Google Setup Wizard addon for flashing after ROM and main GApps package.

Alternatively do you mean that after dirty flashing the latest ROM, Google apps lose functionality? In which case, again, this is a GAppless build. GApps must be flashed after each dirty flash.

Also, system updates notify me when available. You just need to download them and flash as normal. Or are you saying that OTA isn't working? Perhaps you're updating via OTA which is where the GApps issue comes in. When an update is available, just manually download it and manually flash it along with GApps. Simples :)
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] asts:
Every update of the system causes the schedule in Do Not Disturb mode to be reset. Is this a bug? This issue was not encountered in crDroid 8.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Lee Alan:
Sorry, I didn't explain clearly. My problem is that every time ota is installed or manually flashed in, the google app will not be automatically retained.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Lee Alan:
Yes, I tried disabling audiofs and clearing the data. I did the same before, but I still think the effect is not good enough. I used voiui before, and I feel that the gap is still relatively large compared with him.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] reg66:
Like I say, flash manually along with gapps rather than ota

Has anyone had any problems with Adaway? I'm using the latest version. It had root access granted and it is able to modify the hosts files successfully. I don't get any errors. But all the ads are there as usual? This happens on my two F3 phones with this ROM installed. Any suggestions?

Thanks!
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] raystef66:
SBC devices shouldn't have an issue. Tried toggling codec in dev settings?

Also, take logs. Share here or in F3 TG group.

Also, try toggling off Dolby and Mi Sound Enhancer to see if thats the issue.

Also, toggle Hi-Fi in Mi Sound.

there is also a bug on the bluetooth headset, I use a Jabra talk 25 and in an incoming call the ring sound is not coming out of the phone speakers but from the headset.

I have media audio disabled on the device settings , if I enable it there is no sound at all.

I followed all the above but no sasses I even disable absolute sound in developers options but nothing.

That is a problem because you have to ware the headset all the time or you will miss the call.

any sugestions, by the way the headset is working perfectli with the same settings on my other alioth device with aicp 16.1

[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Cypher_01:
Guys, I'm desperate. It happend already multiple times, and I cannot find out why. After an update my device doesn't boot anymore.

When I flash crDroid for the first time, I do everything exactly as in the description.

I'm using the recommended TWRP

Flash Xiaomi firmware first

Flash the ROM

Rebooting recovery (to activate the correct slot)

Flashing NikGapps and Magisk

Format data

This works! The ROM boots and works like a charm. The problems always appear when I install an update.

When I flash an update, I again do everything exactly as in the description.

I'm still on the recommended TWRP, so no reflash needed

Skip flash Xiaomi firmware (this is not needed, right? The description says 'skip if you are on this version')

Flash the ROM update

Rebooting recovery (to activate the correct slot)

Flashing NikGapps and Magisk

Skip format data

But the update always causes problems. One time I forgot to reflash Gapps, which caused Google Play Services to stop working. Even after going to TWRP again and flash NikGapps, I couldn't fix the problem. I needed to format data. Well, this was my mistake, I learned from it, and next time I did it right.

What's even more frustrating is my experience from yesterday/today. I flashed the latest update from 20230228. This time I followed the stepsfor updating percisely as I wrote above.

It worked. The ROM booded and I thought thanks god I don't need to format data again.

But then I simply rebooted. Nothing else then a normal reboot. And the device is stuck on boot animation. That's so frustrating! What am I doing wrong? I also tried uninstalling Magisk, but it didn't help.

Can someone help me? Which logs I can provide to find the problem?

(By the way: Please don't tell me "Format data, this fixes the problem". That's exactly what I want to avoid. It takes me a whole day, backup gigabytes of data, configure the system, restoring files, restoring app backups, reconfigure apps, ...)
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] robboman88:
I'm not sure if you made any mistake updating to the newest version, the procedure you followed seems correct. I'm hoping OTA support will return to this ROM, that would make this ROM perfect imo and avoid a lot of problems people have.

Edit: did you use the same nikgapps version as before? And do you use the recommended skkk twrp?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Cypher_01:
Yes and yes. Thx for pointing this out.

I use skkk TWRP. I also checked the Auto-Reflash before flashing the ROM update. This worked, TWRP is still working.

I also use same NikGapps version I flashed on the first install. I also thought, flashing a newer version could cause problems.

So I asume these two points are not the problem.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] _j3roen:
I have the exact same issue as you describe. Some updates work, sometimes they dont and only formatting data works for me. I have tried everything.

It's a 50/50 chance everytime.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] nicks11:
I had this issue and it was caused by gapps not flashing correctly. After the new rom is installed and you boot back to recovery I now wipe data (not format) before installing gapps. Works every time for me.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] reg66:
I now use OrangeFox-alioth-stable@R11.1_1_A12.zip and BitGApps, all good every update. I gave up on NikGApps

Excellent rom besides per app battery settings. Even if you put them on "restricted", they still autostart and run in the background. Can anyone recommend an autostart/boot manager? I've searched every feature of this rom, and there's nothing like that available (besides the battery settings that don't work).
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Suhaas:
Does this rom have gapps included or should flash seperately?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] _j3roen:
Thanks I will try that next time!
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] denyo81:
I have exactly the same problems. Most of the time, an update usually ends in a clean install. And I don't know why. But I don't think it matters if you use the skkk TWRP or ofox. Essentially, not much is happening. Personally, it annoys me even because I have already wasted so much time to constantly reinstall the ROM. Before that, I had LineageOS 19 installed. But it doesn't make much difference. I'm afraid it has something to do with the update slots. Switching between the respective slots should actually do the recovery itself. I don't have a solution for you, but you're not the only one having trouble installing and updating the ROM. I hope there may be a solution to these problems soon.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Cypher_01:
For now I need to give up finding a solution. But I don't want to give up crDroid, as it's the best ROM I've ever used.

I try to avoid flashing updates constantly as I don't want to always configure everything from scratch. If there are critical bugs, I first try to get a confirmation here on this thread if an update resolves it, and then I plan to wipe and install from scratch right from the beginning.

@raystef66 Thx for your awesome work on this ROM! Maybe you're the only one who can figure out this update problem and find a solution one day. :)
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] rebelpixel:
It appears that you are doing the correct steps, so the error is indeed strange.

But just to share, this is what I do when installing an update:

Reboot to bootloader

fastboot boot TWRP_3.7.0_v6.5_A12-alioth-skkk.img

- Before this version was released, my phone used to only boot with TWRP-3.6.2-alioth-Nebrassy-03-07-22.img, so I used it to boot recovery then install to ramdisk the TWRP-3.6.2-alioth-Nebrassy-03-07-22.img file.

Install the ROM via adb sideload

Reboot to recovery (using the button with TWRP)

- At this point, you will end up booted into the stock crdroid recovery

Install the same Gapps I've used before (NikGapps-admin-cr9-alioth-arm64-13-20221006-signed.zip) via adb sideload.

Reboot to system.

- System should boot without problem

Reboot to bootloader

fastboot boot TWRP_3.7.0_v6.5_A12-alioth-skkk.img

Install magisk

Just to add, I never use any USB drive, I do everything from my computer. When booted to TWRP and storage is not decrypted, you can still adb push files to /tmp/ and the files will be there until you reboot recovery.

Also, I never bother to install TWRP, I just boot it when needed. So the phone has the stock crdroid recovery at all times, which I don't need to use normally anyway.

I don't know what's causing your exact problem, but I hope this gets you clues on how to fix your problem and avoid having to wipe all the time.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] ALFZZ:
I like to share the steps that I did when dirty flashing the CrDroid rom for the past updates which have all been successful without problem. I stored all the required installation files (MIUI firmware, Crdroid rom, Gapps and Addons on a OTG drive). The only thing to note is each time after rebooting to recovery during the flashing process, you need to pull out and plug-in your OTG drive to select the OTG storage in order to access the files. The steps are as follows:

Steps to DIRTY FLASH POCO F3 5G/ Redmi K40 for CrDroid 9.X

boot phone to recommended recovery (I used twrp-3.7.0_12-v7.2_A13-alioth-skkk.img)

flash Firmware (i used miui_ALIOTHEEAGlobal_V13.0.11.0.SKHEUXM_7a21900e70_12.0.zip during the recent update)

flash crDroid rom (toggle auto flash twrp)

reboot phone to recovery

flash Gapps - I use Basic (no auto toggle needed)

wipe Data (this step is needed to avoid errors when flashing Add-ons in the next step)

flash Gapps Add-ons (no auto toggle needed)

boot phone to system

I do not use Magisk so probably you could flash it after Gapps add-ons before rebooting phone to system. I carried out all the above steps exactly in each updates without skipping any of them. I hope that it helps. Good luck.

I have also faced flashing problems before, causing me to just abandon updates for a while now.

I am just tired of clean installing and restoring everything, and I consider myself somehow experienced with flashing and following instructions.

I believe there's something wrong with partioning/twrp, but can't figure it out.

Hopefully something changes soon
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] theoneofgod:
Its easy to do once you know. Simply flash crdroid via the recommended skkk recovery (enable reflash recovery when flashing a ROM) reboot recovery, flash gapps and flash magisk if you use it. Now you can reboot the system.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] tsavman:
Done that multiple times.

Still same result.

I'm not the only one with such issue it seems.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] D0ping:
Rom works like a charm.

Is there a way to list the most four or five used apps on the top of the launcher?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] denyo81:
You need to change the recovery slot at the end of the flash procedure. After that, you can first make the restart. If you forget that, you end up in the bootloop and has to do a clean install to get the phone to start again. That's the real trick of the story.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] ALFZZ:
Not really true. I do not know much about the slots thing. In my post above describing the steps that I carried out to flash the CrDroid rom, I did not do any slot selections during the entire flashing process. I also do not do do any cache wiping. I just did the steps exactly, no more no less. So far it has been no problem.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] tsavman:
That's what rebooting recovery takes care of.

ROM boots fine after that, but on first manual reboot I get a bootloop.
