nikgapps re-installed after updating? this is often the reason for bootloop.

I cannot say if TWRP or OFOX works better

You only need to backup the partition DATA in recovery.

In my experience the following things make trouble with update / restoring:

- nikgapps not re-installed

- trying to restore DATA with PIN set as security in android settings

When nothing works restoring in recovery, a viable solution that comes next to it is die app: Swift backup on rooted phones. It is able to backup / restore also the settings of the apps and even their external data.

I have to admit I didn't, but it wasn't mentioned in the update instructions - it should have been written more clearly

I'll be smarter next time :cool:
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] planetstar:
If i use the KernelSU app do other apps like banking or insurance apps then detect the phone as rooted? That keeps me from using Magisk because one of these apps always detect the phone as rooted. On the other side i use MacroDroid but without root many thinks are not realizeabel without root so just grant root to this specif app would be great. Thanks for your answer.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] raystef66:
Banking apps in particular won't be detected. Also Macrodroid works as should, using it myself on F3. (just give root and reboot)

When using magisk with modules just uninstall them, uninstall magisk and re-install specific modules in kSU app.

Some modules might be buggy others won't. It's still in early development stage. But in the end and in my opinion this will be the best choice in root option.

[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] planetstar:
Today i made the update from 9.4 to 9.5 and ended up again in the launcher loop after entering the pin. Found the solution in another crdroid thread from another phone. I used Gapps Full Version and the pixel lauchner seams to replace crDroid home and break recents. Just a information for someone else having this problem.

[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] digga85:
Hi, thanks for your work 👍😊

I came from an other rom and i'm on the PE recovery.

I did a format (factory reset) an installed the previous version and updated it yesterday.

So far so good - my annoying problem is, that some apps a closing after their start or on the specific points.

For example:

Chrome after app-start (maybe its running 0.2 seconds..)

Gmail: starts - open a mail -> crash

Even after i stopped the apps and/or deleted the cache/storage.

A phonerestart or a app reinstall helps.

A none-Google app is doing the same things..

I will try to install an other, bigger nikgapp package later.

I think there is a relation to gapps....

Or can someone tell me which settings i've to set in mathlog?

Thanks for help 👍

Hello there! First of all thanks a lot for this awesome ROM and the helpful community around it.

I'm currently running latest build with Forced Encryption (FE) disabled but would like to change to FE. What would be best approach without losing data?

I noticed a bug with UDFPS customization in crDroid Settings:

This setting does not work any more, was working fine in crDroid 9,5.

Hello. I want to ask one thing. When I using this rom without root, my shopping app (Shopee) still detect this rom just like when i use magisk without hide and safetynet fix. I think it's because of KSU, but not so sure. I really love this rom but can't not using the free shipping coupon because of this. What should i do?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Skuzzer:

I do. I'd adding shopee to the deny list, but it still detect, just on this rom. I don't have any problem on other rom like Evolutionx, or Sparkos. Shopee app just detect on this rom, whether I flash magisk or not. The banking app is normal, I just have trouble with shopee app.

Maybe there are two more optimization suggestions:

The crt screen-off animiation doesn't note the screen-settings(screen brightness, smart-pixels etc.) its a little bit annoying when the screen settings are dark and the crt animation is like a flash :unsure:

And the second thing is:

Digital wellbeing sets the screen to b/w, also the green fingerprint area. That prevents the sensor from correctly working.

Besids this two points and the points Above mentioned, its a really good rom (y)(y)
