Hello, I have several problems to root. I am about to extract the Zip of the rom but the files are not found, only the payload.bin file. I have flashed the init_boot of the partner who shared it but it goes into bootloop. I had to reset via Android flash tool
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] omariscal1019:
I will add new init_boot later today
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Shooter7889:
Once u extract zip u must then take payload.bin and use payload dumper to get each of the files separated. Then patch init_boot with Magisk-app u have on phone then put on pc and flash.

Something wrong with in recent app menu, if you use other launchers. I use Nova Launcher with FluidNG gestures, Hide nav Bar option is turned on, and this happens always.

I was on AncientOS, they use their own launcher too, but there is no such bug
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] geokilla:
May you provide instructions on how to update just the necessary May firmware files so we can dirty flash instead of clean flash? I'm on Panther but I reckon the instructions are the same. Just different files.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] wangdaning:
From fastboot (bootloader):

fastboot flash bootloader "bootloader-file-name".img

fastboot flash radio "radio-file-name".img

Replace image names with the ones from the factory image
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] One2ManyPhones:
Wifi Calling is bugged on mine. Unable to activate on P7P. Verizon if that matters.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Curiousn00b:
That's because Ancient is still currently on February. When the new update drops, the problem will likely be present as well.

It started with April I believe. Using a different default launcher with one of the Launcher3 based launchers will give you this issue. I've finally gotten around to ignoring it, but your other option is installing Pixel Launcher, or even AOSPA Launcher to use the Pixel version of the recents UI. That issue won't be there.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] other909:
Bad news. Google broke stuff. Again.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Curiousn00b:
And still didn't fix it with May sadly, lol. Maybe one of the devs will figure it out, then all the roms will use the fix. 🙏
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] omariscal1019:
yes it has been an issue that i cant seem to find a fix for. but im still searching
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] omariscal1019:
im going to need one vzw tester please dm
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] halfbytecode:
I checked out the code on GitHub and there actually seems to a possibly upstream commit in the crDroid android_bootable_recovery repo, enabling support for flashing unsigned zips on user builds.

I remember the recovery did not give me issues regarding Magisk failing signature verification. There were some other errors.

Have you figured out what the issue is/was?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] kenzolo:
Reading the instructions for the first install

seems that the bootloader has to be unlocked twice after changing the slot, is this correct?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] HolyChickenGuy:
I don't see high brightness mode on this rom, i find it hard to use my phone in direct sunlight. Any tips?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Homeboy76:
@omariscal1019 do we have to unlock the bootloader twice?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] 5.1:
Hi,

Just read the flashing instructions...

Weird. I never had to unlock BL after switching slot on this device :unsure:

Cheers,

Sébstien.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Homeboy76:
I read the flashing instructions...

Weird

, yes.

That is why I asked the question. :)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] 5.1:
Hey,

My sentence was kinda weird too...

Didn't mean read the instructions for you. I meant: i just read the instructions myself... 😇

But let's see the OP's answer! 👍

Cheers,

Sébastien.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] sogens88:
is there a version without gapps
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] wangdaning:
I think he just copied the instructions twice without omitting the unlock part. You do not need to unlock twice.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] omariscal1019:
no it was a typo. just make sure you dont select lock bootloader thru webflash tool
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] neroes:
How do I turn off the flashlight and camera on the lock screen?

Does this ROM unlock 5g in non official countries?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jake.99x3:
Does anybody encounter freezing with this Rom? I would have issue on November build where the screen locks up/freezes up while still on until I force a reboot. This happened with lineage as well, I could not have the phone unlocked for more than 20 seconds before freezing. Curious if anybody has encountered with this ROM. Resolved by reflsshing with web tool and then setting refresh to 60hz
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] omariscal1019:
no but next update this weekend will
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] omariscal1019:
new update this weekend with a few more changes and fixes
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Mr.Conkel:
Hello Crdroid users of Pixel 7 Pro, I'm looking to get this device however I would like to know if voLTE and voWIFI work properly with this rom. I need wifi calling to work and this is my preferred rom to use on my current phone
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] gj4560:
I'm currently using this ROM and all is mostly well however I have some questions.

1. Is it possible to disable the new Pixel battery graph (segmented in 2 hour intervals) and get back the regular AOSP one?

2. How can I change the fonts so that they are the same as what the Pixel stock software uses (like Google Sans for headings and the status bar and the variable font for other text and the lock screen clock) I couldn't find a Magisk module that achieves this unless I'm looking in the wrong spot, only ones that use Google Sans for everything which doesn't look great in my opinion.

3. My phone heats up like crazy when fast charging, is this because of the Kali kernel? I was 15w charging it from my laptop which has always been fine and the phone has always stayed cool however after flashing this ROM the battery temp went straight to 40C after only a few minutes of fast charging.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] halfbytecode:
I second the request regarding bringing back AOSP battery graph. For reference, Evolution-X is one ROM that provides an option to switch between AOSP and Pixel style battery graphs.

Try this Magisk module for fonts that I made:

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] gj4560:
Thanks for sharing your module, I tried to install it however Magisk Manager keeps throwing an "unzip failed" error and I can't install it. Any ideas?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] halfbytecode:
Thanks for pointing that out. It seems Magisk does not accept all zips. I unzipped and rezipped the files, and it seems to be installing fine now. Please redownload and try again.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] gj4560:
Thanks, I've tried the updated zip and it works fine now, however I noticed that while the fonts are mostly accurate (probably the closest I'll get), unfortunately the lock screen clock font is not right, it's using the Google sans headline font which is far too bold and does not change thickness on the aod, it stays as the same bold font.

Edit: I also noticed in apps it does not use the correct font, apps that should be using Roboto (for example Chrome, Instagram, Facebook) use either the headline font or the variable font, but this may be a limitation of the module perhaps.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] halfbytecode:
The differences in fonts could be due to the differences between the ROM and stock ROM, such as the different launcher, lockscreen etc. The same seems to be the reason for the font differences some apps, as my module simply installs the fonts from the stock ROM, along with the unmodified fonts configuration file from the stock ROM as well.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] omariscal1019:
i can add that option back
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] omariscal1019:
also update in testing phase

if all good will push soon
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] umaro:
Awesome! Let me know if you need a Verizon (new visible) tester, wifi calling is the only thing missing for me.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] metah678:
Very Amazing rom but

Gpay don't work (integrety issue)

I use crdroid on my Xiaomi note 8 pro too , i swiched my sim slot (work fine)

https://xdaforums.com/t/nfc-doesnt-working-unique-mysterious-problem.4386721/post-86244773

But on my pixel 7 pro i cannot swich it because there is only one sim slot (i tried to use esim -> don't work)

If someone have an idea ... :)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] umaro:
It doesn't look like my mobile hotspot works either. I'm sure it's related to being on visible, but hopefully there's a fix in the next update!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] cultofluna:
Working properly here
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] umaro:
Oh, it does work with the 2.4Ghz band, I was trying it with 5Ghz. that's workable, thank you!

Hey @omariscal1019 I was wondering, do you have any plans on going official for the normal Pixel 7 too? Thanks for maintaining crDroid for our devices by the way.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] omariscal1019:
yes i will be applying for it this weekend
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Misuto:
Oh, nice to hear!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] mcflyrk01:
the last two times I tried to dirty flash I boot looped and had to wipe so I'm not totally sure what I'm doing wrong... anyone dirty flashing with root who's done it successfully able to let me know your steps?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] umaro:
I dirtyflashed today's update and I keep getting systemui restarts (no Google/pixel logo, just crdroid). I'll try a clean flash but if it persists I'll have to rollback. Any ETA on Verizon/visible wifi calling?

Thanks for bringing crdroid to pixel 7 pro! 😊
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] omariscal1019:
make sure you

have may on both slots
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] omariscal1019:
make sure you have may on both slots
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] halfbytecode:
@omariscal1019 It would be great to include the firmware in the ROM update zips as well, like Evolution-X does. It would make updates seamless, prevent issues, and do away with the need to manually update radio and bootloader using a PC first, before installing the OTA update.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] mcflyrk01:
may radio and bootloader on both slots, and then good to OTA? do i need to disable root/uninstall magisk beforehand?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] DracoPiece:
Does anyone know what's the difference between Evolution and crDroid?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] DepressedDead:
Evolution has slightly less features than crDroid. Evo is AOSP-based (crDroid is LOS-based). Both ROMs feel equally smooth and fast, but if I were to pick one I'd choose crDroid.

Omar's crDroid builds include the volte/vowifi fix, too. Since crDroid is based on LOS you also some useful features, such as wifi/mobile network control, USB control, etc.

The only thing I miss from Evo are lockscreen clock fonts, but that's it.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] DracoPiece:
Can I directly flash this from evolution 7.9 and skip the flashing of May?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] DracoPiece:
How to root this? Seems I cant get rooted flashing the init.img provided in the link with vendor image
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] DracoPiece:
I tried using this init_boot but its not installing correctly
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Homeboy76:
From the OP:

...First time installation:

Only for Official builds moving forward!!!!

Flash May Firmware from Web Flash Tool

Reboot to Fastboot

Unlock bootloader

Go thru first boot

reboot to bootloader

in cmd enter fastboot set_active other

repeat step 1

Reboot to Fastboot

fastboot flash vendor_boot vendor_boot.img in fastboot (located here)

Reboot to Recovery

Select adb update

Open cmd and type adb sideload rom_name.zip

DO NOT FLASH GAPPS, THEY ARE INCLUDED...

@omariscal1019, can't they adb sideload magisk to root?

Using these steps, after

step 12

in the

First time Installation

Instructions:

Note: Download the

Magisk....apk

. (Alpha/Beta/Canary/Stable) file you want to root crDroid with and rename it

Magisk....zip

.

Reboot to Recovery

Tap the Back arrow ==> tap, Advanced ==> tap Reboot recovery.

Sideload Magisk....zip:

On the device (phone), select “Apply Update”, then “Apply from ADB” to begin sideload.

On the host machine (Computer), sideload the package using:

adb sideload (name of magisk...zip file)

When Magisk finishes installing, tap the Back arrow ==> tap, Reboot system
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] halfbytecode:
@Homeboy76 Recovery is broken on this ROM and flashing Magisk fails. It always says there is an error with the sideload zip.

Despite there being support for flashing unsigned zips from recovery on user builds, it still fails.

Nonetheless, even manually signing Magisk using SignApk yields the same error as mentioned above.

The setting is present under Lock screen settings, within crDroid Settings.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Homeboy76:
@halfbytecode, @omariscal1019

What "error as mentioned above..."? I don't see anything about

the recovery being broken

in the OP or in the last two pages.

Are you saying the vendor_boot.img that you sideload crDroid with is broken?

Does it show a screen that reads:

Signature verification failed

when you try to sideload Magisk?

What happens if you press

continue

?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] z00man:
Hello sorry to ask here p7 pro thread, but is there any meantime info about pixel 7 update..really like your work and hope that theres official update coming really some day:)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] halfbytecode:
I meant when we sideload Magisk on this ROM, the recovery throws an error saying the sideload zip file is corrupt/erroneous. Something is broken in the recovery shipped with this ROM, as sideloading Magisk works fine on other ROMs.

It does not show any signature verification issues, as the recovery with the ROM supports bypassing signature verification (even on user builds).

Hello.

Does anyone have battery drain with google play service ?

(9.5 fresh install)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Pixel86:
None seen here.

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Homeboy76:
Understood, thanks for the update.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] halfbytecode:
@omariscal1019 Keyboard navigation (the little down arrow underneath) also gets hidden if navigation hint is disabled. Some ROMs like Evolution-X have fixed it on recent builds, where keyboard navigation is visible even with navigation hint disabled.

Adding left/right cursor arrows to the keyboard navigation would be icing on the cake. Evolution-X seems to have added this to their GitHub repo.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] DracoPiece:
Experienced sudden device turn off without notice and when device is just sleeping. Kinda weird
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] cultofluna:

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] halfbytecode:
This setting does not work, and no left/right arrow keys are shown below the keyboard, in the keyboard navigation.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] cultofluna:
Of course it's working...

You need navigation bar...

Not the navigation pill
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] halfbytecode:
Okay then, while using gesture navigation it does not work. It's actually been a good few years since I have not used the 2 button/3 button navigation bar.

I was requesting the keyboard navigation bar (with the down arrow for minimization) to show up when using gesture navigation, with navigation pill hidden, like it is on some ROMs like Evolution-X. Furthermore, in this scenario the left/right navigation keys to also show up in the keyboard navigation bar.

Posted in wrong thread but whats the web flash tool URL?

Just the google one?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] mcflyrk01:
still a little confused about the OTA steps to preserve root and avoid bootloops... if I flash the may radio and bootloader in both slots am I good to OTA? do I need to remove root first? and if so at what point do I flash it back?

I just bought the Phone, updated it to latest Stock rom / security patch update. Then flashed the latest crdroid 9.5 (and of course recovery) from your homepage as mentioned in the guide in posting one of this thread. Is there anything i am missing? I assume i did it right? 🙃

Google Photos seems to be using storage despite saying This Pixel can backup unlimited photos at no charge.

I have enabled the spoof from crDroid settings

Any solution for this?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] thejokerandros:
As i mentioned i did follow the instructions in post one. ROM is running great accept for that random warmstarts when display is off.

I installed the latest official software update (OTA). Then unlocked bootloader. Then restart, booted ROM up. Then Fastboot set active other command. Then booted ROM again. Then flashed vendor and then recovery > ADB update (crdroid 9.5 ZIP), following the instructions. Did i missed something?

Just to be clear what did you mean by repeat step 1? I thought this means that you have to boot the ROM up again before you go on with further steps right? Or does this mean i have to unlock the bootloader again for other Slot?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] we_tu_lo:
it wont work for me due to payload.bin
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] qq262406286:
i think.the developer said to repeat step 1 means you only need to repeat step 1 not starying everything all over again after you repeat step 1.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] thejokerandros:
I dont understand, what should i do now to solve my problem? I simply boot into Fastboot again type in the command set active other and then do what?

What do you want me to say with the Screenshot in #353? Sorry for misunderstanding but what is step 1 exectly? 🥴🥹
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] we_tu_lo:
I got it to work, but does anyone know where to get the boot.img for root?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] we_tu_lo:
That's the mistake I made haha
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] wangdaning:
What you need to do is to flash full May firmware, not OTA to first slot. Boot OS and go back to bootloader. Then, switch slots and flash full May firmware again and boot fully. At that point to can install crDroid recovery and install rom.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] thejokerandros:
thanks (y)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] we_tu_lo:
I'm struggling to root this device. I got the boot.img from payload dumper. I patched in Magisk, reboot to fastboot, but it still wont work? any special procedure for this from?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Shooter7889:
its "init_boot" img u need

U need to use "init_boot.img" to patch with magisk and then flash.. Not boot.img 👍
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] halfbytecode:
You need to patch init_boot.img in Magisk for this device, and flash that to init_boot partition.

Do not patch and flash boot.img on this device, as it could brick it!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] we_tu_lo:
Do you flash that in fastboot or fastbootd?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] halfbytecode:
Fastboot is fine for that.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] we_tu_lo:
Thanks, trying now.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] we_tu_lo:
Ok I got it to work, thanks! I first bricked it by not typing init_boot haha

it works now too, did the direct magisk install , and adaway work
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] omariscal1019:
Quick announcement, I will not be continuing to build this rom. But there will someone else taking over official builds. @IonutGherman will be taking over these builds. He will also take panther official. Thanks for everything and it was a pleasure to have done builds for you!!

Maybe a lame question but on average how long between Android release might we get our OTA update? Thanks!

no factory reset necessary? First boot setup is skipped entirely?!

Factory reset is always required when switching ROMS unless you're coming from a previous build it may not be but I would just to be safe
