It does indeed work.

I never experienced any issues. I used nikgapps full. I do remember using edge lighting on multiple roms a while back and it would cause aod issues. Maybe that's why I didn't experience any weirdness when I was on yours because I didn't enable it or it's just user error. I even flashed with Lineage recovery because you hadn't fixed your link at the time.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] boomerams4l:
Appreciate an actual answer on that for real
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] mcflyrk01:
WOW disregard, I installed the wrong gapps 🙃
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] 5.1:
Hi

Lol, I meant font yeah. Mixed a french word in my sentence... 😅

About the dpi change, I installed NikGapps as well. Tried with Omni version and full.

I recorded my screen:

It switches back to normal after i end the call.

Cheers,

Sébastien.

Just started to flash and stuck on 1st step o_O , when in fastboot and I type: "fastboot flash vendor_boot vendor_boot_cheetah.img" it returns: FAILED (remote: partition (vendor_boot) not found). I'm currently on StagOS if that matters...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] reg66:
Not on this rom at the mo, but I would always flash back to stock before flashing another custom rom... Also, I assume the file you're flashing is actually named 'vendor_boot_cheetah.img' and not just vendor_boot.img correct?

In fact, I would recommend flashing both slots a and b with stock before flashing a new rom.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] mad4some:
Yeah, that's the actual name, the OP said this rom contains the radio and bootloader so I was assuming that meant not flashing latest stock would be ok...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] reg66:
Hmm, I'm going by what I would do when flashing a different rom. Take it or leave it... I take it you've at least factory wiped before crossing roms? Or were you trying to preserve data..?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] mad4some:
I've been running my current rom since Jan. so have to kinda relearn the specifics, I plan on trying with factory ota's in both slots tomorrow or next day thanks for the tip.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] mcflyrk01:
anyone else missing "screen options at bedtime" in digital wellbeing? it showed up once with nothing selectable, now it's gone completely from the options.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] mcflyrk01:
one other question - trying to enable weather on the lockscreen and the options are greyed out (it says weather service must be enabled). my at a glance is working - if i add a widget i see the weather there. just a bug or is there something else i need to enable?

EDIT: nm found it in the miscellaneous settings.

Long time fan of crDroid on many devices, this official build on this phone is amazing....kudos @IonutGherman and team!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] thejokerandros:
When i make google backup, the device is now a pixel 5. Is it possible that in further builds its a Pixel 7 pro again? Just like in crdroid 9.5?

Im asking about it cause i use crdroid on my samsung tab s5e and there its also a Pixel 5. Unfortunatly its not possible to make a backup of both devices if both devices are labeled as one. In previous builds it was possible.

Thanks. 🙂
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] MikoSenpai:
I think that If u are rooted you can fake your phone model to whatever you want, maybe that helps your problem.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] thejokerandros:
How do i do that?

https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-andro...model-name-additional-steps-required.3559040/

I found this guide, hopefully its still accurate, but in case it won't work, try googling something like "spoof device name xda", "change model name" etc. I won't share anything more here, as I don't want to spam a ROM thread. :D
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] thejokerandros:
I already tried it on my Pixel 3 XL with crdroid 9.3 i think a couple month ago. Tried to Change the device model using a magisk Modul (think it was this: https://xdaforums.com/t/app-xposed-8-1-12-android-faker-a-module-for-spoof-your-device.4284233/) but unfortunatly that did not work. I will give the post you named above a try. Thanks mate.

@IonutGherman: Btw Love the Rom, thanks for your hard Work!

But i have another question 😃. I cant get the Google Assistent to run properly. If i hit the "unlock more Features" button, nothing Happens Accept that the App ist closing it self. Anyone else have the Same issue?

Made a short Video:
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] auriken:
Hello, installation went smoothly! I've missed crdroid very much, thank you!

I had a question about Magisk rooting, it says I rooted correctly, but every reboot upon opening magisk it keeps telling me that I need to install it again, is that normal?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] TheMrN1ko1:
i have this on stock rom too
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] thejokerandros:
On crdroid 9.5 Google Assistent worked with "more Features". Since i reflashed 9.7 the issue appeared.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] mcflyrk01:
love this rom overall! seems like the only issues I have are screen/display related, which are:

Bedtime mode is missing screen options (the option isn't there at all, or when it opens it's just blank)

Color correction doesn't turn off (if I disable it, it stays enabled until I toggle something else that affects the display, like night mode)

Double tap to wake doesn't always work (most of the time it does, but I've seen it disabling at random times)

Wondering if others are experiencing these or if this is related to something in my developer options?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] D@rekills4:

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] IonutGherman:
yes. But if you installed Gapps or Magisk you need to reflash them before reboot. So better use a PC in order to update.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] thejokerandros:
thanks for the update :)

Loving this rom! I still have one wish, is it possible you change the device model name from Google Pixel 5 to 7 Pro? 🤙

Edit: Just saw that the Model Name has been changed to Pixel 5a. Thanks for that. Now i can make a google Backup of my Tablet too.

Thanks mate for the awesome Work and for fixing every previous Bugs!

I get the following error:

​

"serving: '/Users/Shar/Downloads/jake/crDroidAndroid-13.0-20230819-cheetah-v9.8.zip' (~47%) adb: failed to read command: Undefined error: 0. "​

​

CrDroid recovery still prompts me if I want to reboot to recovery to flash additional packages. Is this step 5 in the install instructions and I should continue on to step 6 or have I encountered an issue?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jake.99x3:
Resolved.

I get the following error when trying to use Google assistant, anybody else?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] IonutGherman:
What Gapps are you using?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] IonutGherman:
Explain more. Where is not working exactly. No issues here with AA. Using Nikgapps
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jake.99x3:
I am using the NikGapps from the install instructions of OP
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] IonutGherman:
Also in which app you're trying to access Google Assistant? Running on Waze? Or?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jake.99x3:
From home screen, lock screen or by opening the Google assistant app. Happens no matter how I try it
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jake.99x3:
@IonutGherman Ive found that for some reason I can't enable network access for assistant. I would guess this is the cause for my error
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] IonutGherman:
Uninstall this, isn't relevant for Assistant to work, just a shortcut
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jake.99x3:
I have uninstalled using app manager, made sure "hey Google" etc is still enabled via settings but the error is still there 😶
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jake.99x3:
I am still using CrDroid and having a pleasant experience minus assistant not working. I will reflash to see if that resolves anything + make sure I have correct gapps. If not, back to lineage for me
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Yeedatoy:
All you need to do is update the Google app manually using apkmirror. Same with play services....than the assistant update will download. If you still have issues, Pixelify magisk module to install the relevant parts only.... like nga resources and the correct blobs, but I doubt you'll need that.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Yeedatoy:
There's also litegapps. They make a completely systemless package, a recovery package and one that can be flashed through either. There's a package specifically for pixels. All Pixel ROMs expect for those who are built specifically to run with Zero Google apps like Copperhead/Divest, still have the Google assistant hotword apps built in as well as other apps essential to the necessary Pixel functions. They just don't activate unless there's a Gapps package installed. Make sure you don't replace the assistant apps with others. There should be 2 of them in product/privapp that say "FusionPro"
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] HippoMan:
Thank you for the *excellent* work on this ROM!

I've checked through this thread, but please forgive me if I overlooked the answer to the following question:

I see the detailed and very helpful ROM-flashing instructions in the OP, and I completely understand them.

However, I want to flash this ROM on Cheetah with Magisk, and I couldn't find specific instructions for doing that here.

There are 3 versions of Magisk available now (the "official" version, the "alpha" version, and the "delta" version), and each one of them has its own complications and confusions associated with it.

Could anyone who has successfully installed this ROM on Cheetah AND successfully got it rooted with Magisk point me to detailed instructions (as detailed as the ROM-flashing instructions in this thread's OP) for how you got Magisk installed and which version of Magisk that is?

Thank you very much in advance!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] HippoMan:
My questions here have now been kindly answered by @IonutGherman in the crDroid Pixel 7 TG group.

And the answers are:

* 9.8 on Cheetah indeed works with Magisk.

* The recommended Magisk version is Delta Stable 26.1.

* To install Magisk with crDroid 9.8 on the Cheetah device ...

... go to https://magiskzip.com/magisk-delta

... download Magisk Delta 21.6 Zip

... you'll get the file Magisk-v26.1-delta.zip , which then just needs to be sideloaded from crDroid recovery after the crDroid installation.

Thank you again!!!!!!!

UPDATE: it also turns out that LSPosed Zygisk is confirmed to work with this configuration.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jake.99x3:
I have had good results as far as over hearing is concerned with this ROM paired with Sultan Kernel. Been using the device all day and the only time I had heating was when it's charging; no complaints.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] r.ramos519:
Just installed and so far so good, is even better that it has the old ringtones from the good old days. A lot of customisation, very nice.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] r.ramos519:
Google assistant works for me, it just needed to download something and it works, I installed full gapps
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] HippoMan:
I have a new Cheetah device upon which I installed crDroid 9.8 per the exact instructions in the OP. I installed NikGapps-BHCgapps-arm64-13-20230912.zip and Magisk-v26.1-delta.zip, also.

The system is generally working well.

However, it doesn't seem to support eSIM.

I tried to install Airalo (an eSIM app which works fine on Pixel 5 running crDroid 7.28), but the Airalo app says that my device is not compatible with eSIM. When I go to the Airalo site, they list Pixel 7Pro as one of the devices that they indeed support. Therefore, I'm thinking that my eSIM problem is probably either due to my NIKGapps installation or the crDroid 9.8 OS itself.

Has anyone been able to get any eSIM software running under 9.8 on Cheetah?

Thank you in advance.

Could someone do me a favor, please?

Need a screenshot of the Bluetooth codecs.

1) Go to Developer Options

2) Scroll about halfway down till you get to Bluetooth Audio Codec and click on it

3) Take a screenshot of the popup that shows all the available & greyed-out codecs

Thanks! I'm just wondering if aptX Adaptive shows up in there or not.

Has anyone gotten either GravityBox or AOSPMods to work with this crDroid 9.8 release on Cheetah?

I have LSPosed-1.9.1-zygisk running successfully, but when I tried GravityBox 13 on a different (non-crDroid) A13 system under the same LSPosed version, GravityBox 13 didn't work properly, and it caused some problems with a few other apps.

Also, AOSPMods is said to be usable by A13 on a Pixel, but crDroid is not mentioned in its docs, and I'm guessing that it might only be meant to run under stock A13 for the Pixel.

But perhaps has anyone gotten either of these tools to work under crDroid 9.8 on Cheetah? I don't want to run the risk of messing up my OS by running one of these and then finding out that it hosed my device. That's why I want to know whether anyone has already been successful using either of these tools under crDroid 9.8 on Cheetah, before I take the chance of bricking my phone.

The reason I'm asking is because I want to remap some Navigation Bar buttons to run certain apps. Under earlier Android versions, GravityBox enables this capability, which is why it's one of the tools that I'm asking about here.

Or perhaps does anyone know of any other apps or modules or tools that I can run under crDroid 9.8 on Cheetah which will allow me to remap some of the Navigation Bar buttons?

Thank you in advance.

Does anyone know from personal experience whether KSU ("Kernel SU") works with crDroid 9.8 on Cheetah?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] HippoMan:
I'm using Magisk Delta 26.1 (from Magisk-v26.1-delta.zip) with this ROM, and it's generally working well. However, when trying to run AdAway, that program cannot access /system and therefore is not functioning.

The program says that I need "Systemless Hosts" to be enabled in Magisk, and it is indeed enabled.

And AdAway is set as being rooted in Magisk's SuList.

I'm guessing that I might need a newer version of Magisk than 26.1. Does anyone know if that might be required before I can get AdAway to work?

Or is there perhaps something else that's needed in order for AdAway to be enabled with this ROM under Magisk 26.1?

Thank you in advance.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] HippoMan:
Good news!

In the TG group which supplied my crDroid 9.8 ROM, Ionut just now gave me a Magisk-Delta.apk file to install. It's for 26301. I installed it, performed the "Direct Install", and rebooted.

Magisk and everything else came up fine.

I then enabled AdAway in the "Unmount modules" list, and now, AdAway can access /system.

So, all's well that ends well!

I'm wanting to try KernelSU with crDroid 9.8 on my Cheetah device.

On the KernelSU site, it says that a valid GKI kernel is needed, and that such a kernel must be named as follows:

Version.PatchLevel.SubLevel-AndroidRelease-KmiGeneration-suffix

However, the kernel that came with crDroid 9.8 is named as follows:

5.10.157-ga88edbe37d3a

This doesn't match the GKI naming convention. However, the official "KernelSU Manager" app says that the device's kernel is eligible for accepting KernelSU.

I asked about this at the KernelSU site, but they don't know whether or not our crDroid 9.8 kernel is actually an eligible GKI kernel.

Does anyone here know whether our 5.10.157-ga88edbe37d3a kernel might actually be an eligible GKI kernel whose name just doesn't happen to match the standard GKI naming convention?

Or could it be that our 5.10.157-ga88edbe37d3a kernel is not actually a GKI kernel?

Thank you in advance for any information that anyone could supply about this.

I dirty flashed 9.9 build and newest nikgapps again. Restart menu is now working. But google voice command for "Hey Google" does not been supported??
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] HippoMan:
For me, the lack of any Google Voice and "Hey Google" capabilities is a very positive feature. I wonder if the absence of these capabilities is perhaps a deliberate enhancement of 9.9 or of the latest nikgapps. :) :)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] thejokerandros:
😆 actually its not a big deal. By pressing the home button, features working but not by voice command. Cant say if its 9.9 build or latest nikgapps thats causing it.

adb sideload gapps full nikgapps . zip

reflash back to zero when i start cr droid its showing no desktop only dead battery then reboots n starts the cycle any help from a jedi would be greatly appreciated i have to send back my og pixel to att
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] reg66:
What do you mean after you adb gapps 'reflash back to zero'? Are you flashing the rom for a 2nd time or what?

EDIT: You mention dead battery, you did have enough charge before starting the flash process, right? ie above 50%
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] ghost9640:
bro hold vol up and power until dark screen then switch to vol down and power button it'll eventually get u to boot-loader come on bro u know this standard stuff
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] mcflyrk01:
I eventually got this working (it was the wrong gapps, which was what I was asking about) but force rebooting actually doesn't work when this happens, you just have to let it bootloop like 4 times and eventually it'll hit the bootloader again.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] ghost9640:
bet im having to drop the crdroid from 9.9 to 9.8 to work then i used the invisible after i did install literally one by one rebooting into crdroid os it worked but now i cant figure out how to install magisk oooooo how i love figuring out new phone quirks

switch active slot after you sideload the rom and then sideload the magisk apk (I'm using 26.1 right now) and it should work

I know that there's no offical TWRP or OrangeFox release which works on Cheetah with crDroid 9.8.

But does anyone perhaps know of an unoffical release (or beta or alpha) of either of these that indeed is meant to work on Cheetah/crDroid-9.8?

I've searched, and I haven't found anything like this. But perhaps I don't know where to search.

The only reason I want this is so that I can perform nandroid backups and restores. And by that, I mean full backups and restores of /system, /boot, etc., in addition to simply backups of apps, app data, and app settings. So perhaps is there some utility other than TWRP or OrangeFox which can successfully perform these kinds of full backups and restores on this device?

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] thejokerandros:
Me too. Cant understand why there isnt any working full backup/ recovery method. In the past two years i spend several ours after ****ing things up to reinstall the whole package. Like ROM, apps and tweaks for my phone. It was so much less time consuming then now. 😆
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] allenjthomsen:
The easiest way to do backups and restores for the pixel series is swiftbackup and folder sync pro usually restores my stuff and apps with 10 mins max
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] HippoMan:
Within the recent messages above, it was made clear that more than apps, app data, and data folders are being discussed.

Nandroid backs up and restores /system, /boot, etc., but SwiftBackup, Folder Sync Pro, and others such as Titanium Backup cannot.

For this reason, SwiftBackup, Folder Sync Pro, and those others are totally useless as tools for restoring a device back to an older, functioning state after a failed Magisk installation or OS change results in a bootlooping or otherwise hosed device.

We have Google to thank for their recent OS "enhancements" (ha ha!) which make nandroid backup/restore software so much more prohibitively difficult to write.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] allenjthomsen:
I understand what was being discussed . But literally using the apps im talking about and reflashing and using those apps as i stated well with 10 minutes you could be back up and running just like with nandroids/twrp backups of the past which for a fact took way longer than 10 minutes to restore unless you only restored select partitions and not the whole rom backup.

The other thing is that you can literally flash whatever partition you want using adb and in under 4 minutes depending on what partion you flash you would be booted back up and running. If it happens to be an issue with magisk module the latest version of delta magisk has bootloop protection where if it reboots 4 times it automatically disables all modules. So the use of twrp is null and void...
