Changing from S21 to S23 Ultra.

Does it matter if first logging on the S23 with primary gmail and using Google Backup to download data vs. using first Samsung Smart Switch
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JohnTheFarm3r:
You can do both. It doesn't matter which one first.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] amirage:
I have read a lot of horror stories about restoring using Smart Switch. Google backup works best.

Save all your relevant data to a PC or drive and then do a clean installation.

New phone, fresh start is always best.

I dont think KernelSU will ever work with this device because the kernel sources provided by xiaomi are broken and not updated since Android 11. So, no
[Windows RT General] Hido78:
Hello, I hope I'm in the right place!

I would like to install the latest Debian Linux 12 on the Surface 2 RT.

I tried this ISO image

https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/armhf/iso-dvd/debian-12.4.0-armhf-DVD-1.iso

combined with this bootloader.

https://files.open-rt.party/Linux/Distro/surface-2-rpi-bookworm-bootfiles.zip

But unfortunately I failed! :(

Booting stucks with the last shown comment "Disabling IRQ #96"

I urgently need some support here, can anyone help me with this?

Thank you!
[Windows RT General] Hido78:
Can't anyone really help me? :(

I think the only "Linux" running/installing on the RT is the Raspberry Pi Experiment:
[Windows RT General] strigoi8183:
I recently have tried debian 12 on the surface rt the guide i followed is https://github.com/DAryanMR/SurfXPiRT
[Windows RT General] yesitsmaxwell:
Hi Hido78,

The latest version of Raspberry Pi OS is based on Debian 12 now, meaning that you should be able to access all Debian 12 ARM packages by installing the latest Raspberry Pi OS.

If you don't like the Raspberry Pi Desktop, you can install another one by using the command sudo apt install (desktop name). Just make sure that your preferred desktop is available in the Debian ARM repositories. Once you install your preferred desktop, the experience is mostly the same as a regular Debian 12 install.
[Windows RT General] Hido78:
Thank you for your message. Does this also apply to the Surface 2 RT?

Most of the tips are aimed at the Surface 1 RT.

Thank you for your message. However, this does not apply to the Surface 2 RT, but to the Surface 1 RT.

Do you have a tip for the Surface 2 RT?

Unfortunately, I can't get any further... :(

[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Sheist!:
Can't boot from it. Just boots back into crDroid 9.9 system. (two attempts)

This isn't TWRP; what is it? Can it be flashed to recovery ramdisk?

EDIT: it is the latest crDroid recovery. I'll test the TWRP-to-ramdisk myself.

Which Nikgapps is recommended and why?

EDIT: crDroid suggests the following file: NikGapps-crdroid-official-arm64-14-20231130-signed.zip (260.96 MB)

What launcher does crDroid v10 use? I see the contents mentions Pixel updates, but not specifically replacing the launcher: (I'd rather skip the Pixel Launcher)

- -> PixelSpecifics

- - DevicePersonalizationServices

- - SettingsServices

- - PrivateComputeServices
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] NeoPreacher:
At very first I'd recommend gapps for Android 14 (U) , basic or smaller packages are mostly fine imho. Cheers
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Sheist!:
I see what it is doing. The U folder is for A14, but it lists folders by last updated vs alphabetically. Still, the naming convention used is bizarre. (HalogenOS, WTF?) No readme, but I decompressed to review its contents. I do not want the Pixel Launcher overwriting the stock one. Why name it for that OS and not crdroid? I see 2 lower folders with crdroid listed by name on 2 bundles. The HalogenOS has the PIxel Launcher overwrite, so it is out for me.

NikGapps-halogenOS-arm64-14-20231226.zip < 21 hours ago 382.0 MB

NikGapps-Fackal-arm64-14-20231226.zip 2023-12-26 823.2 MB

Mindthegapps has a larger bundle. Much more difficult to review its contents.

Looks like I will get the older stock Nikgapps core and the few extra addons I will need.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Sheist!:
NOTE: should instruct "fastboot reboot recovery", not reboo.

FYI: "wipe" in the instructions means "factory reset, format data/factory reset" in the crDroid recovery.

Also, the "when prompted" in the instructions gives you the following as it hangs at (but finishes despite) this message when you choose Yes:

adb sideload crDroidAndroid-14.0-20231225-spes-v10.0.zip

serving: 'crDroidAndroid-14.0-20231225-spes-v10.0.zip' (~47%) adb: failed to read command: No error

(It lets you proceed with your gapps sideload. I used the November 7, 2023 A14 core NikGapps bundle - tiny at 116mb - then added the missing apps manually from Play.)

A couple of errors under "wiping data": they apparently are innocuous.

ERROR logwrapper Cannot log to file /dev/fscklogs/log

ERROR /recovery Open failed /metadata/ota No such file or directory

Also, in crDroid recovery, enter adb sideload mode with

"apply update," then the ADB option there. (adb devices shows "sideload")

Do not use the "enable ADB" option for sideload. (adb devices shows "recovery" - sideload fails)

Question: Is TWRP safe on this v10, plus install to recovery ramdisk?
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Sheist!:
Something is off with the Google Contacts app. It won't add any contacts, spins forever and adds many, many untitled sync items that seem to be increasing in the bottom of the Sync screen for the Google account. WTF. Haven't seen this issue before on any phone/release. Any steps to clear cache, data, uninstall, reboot... no effect. Contacts affects apps like Voice that need to know what contact is receiving a message thus it won't display the message - says unknown contact with a blank screen. I checked the crDroid changelog but no suggestion of this issue. Installed clean from the Play store.

UPDATE: Nevermind, I figured it out. The Contacts Storage process had the same icon as the open-source Contacts app, so I froze both in haste. I just needed to unfreeze the Contacts Storage. Solved. :cowboy::D(y)
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] viking777:
I installed this yesterday and initially thought everything was OK but then realised that it couldn't find any wireless networks and I am sitting in the same room as the router!

My home network is in the saved connections section but it refused to connect even after re-entering the password, it just doesn't see the signal.

Mobile broadband works without any problem.

It would be a shame to have to downgrade it to 9.9 again but if I can't find a way to connect to wifi I will have to.

Any ideas?

PS I tried the 'Internet reset' button on the top right corner of the Settings/Internet page but that doesn't work either. I also thought of taking my backup of modem.img from 9.9 and transferring it into 10, but I checked both and they have the same md5 hash so I guess they are identical and there wouldn't be much point.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Sheist!:
Try enabling USB Debugging. It has an enabled feature Wifi Scan Throttling.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] viking777:
USB Debugging already enabled and wifi scan throttling already disabled so its not that, but thanks for trying anyway.

There is a load about this online generally rather than crdroid specific eg: https://www.getdroidtips.com/android-14-wifi-issue/

How to Fix WiFi not working on Android 14

In this guide, we will show you various methods to fix the issue of WiFi not working on your Android 14 device.

droidwin.com

But none of the proposed solutions seem to work for me. I will hang on for a while and see if anyone comes up with a fix if not back to 9.9 I guess.

Edit. Just tried a second install of 10, but no change, it sees no wifi connections at all and doesn't even offer the option to set one up manually.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Sheist!:
Yikes. A14 itself appears to be the biggest suspect.

The article says "Luckily, there is a simple solution to this problem", followed by 24 "solutions", the last being "Contact your Manufacturer." In short, they throw every sink in a 5 mile radius at the problem. Your v9.9 a13 drop-back may be your quickest fix. Good luck!, https://www.getdroidtips.com/android-14-wifi-issue/
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] viking777:
Well, re my posts above I have solved the problems now and all is working. For the benefit of anyone with similar problems I will tell you how it went.

I followed the installation instructions up until the item that said 'wipe data'. I couldn't find 'wipe data' in the crdroid recovery menu only 'factory reset' so the first time I installed I ignored it - result everything worked except wifi. The second time I installed it I chose 'factory reset' and got a message which said "Could not create logical partition system_b as device system_b. Unable to format partitions" Result = bootloop. I let the bootloop run for several cycles and then held volume up to go back to recovery. I tried the factory reset again and this time it worked now after reinstalling everything the phone is back to normal with everything working that I have tried so far.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Sheist!:
That is a bit disturbing. I should start from scratch with TWRP 3.7.0 instead of the crDroid recovery and see what I get. Since it uses adb sideload, it should not matter. I have never preferred the stock crDroid recovery for reasons like this. o_O
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] viking777:
@Sheist! If you want a proper recovery for android 14 then this works perfectly as far as I can tell:

Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 (spes) build releases | OrangeFox Recovery Downloads

Orangefox recovery for Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 (spes)

orangefox.download

You can sideload it from the crdroid recovery. If you are rooted you will lose that but then you can sideload Magisk from the ofox recovery and get it back again. All worked perfectly for me.

I have always liked ofox interface although the functionality is much the same as twrp.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] CamiloArzayus:
Hello guys, I have installed crdroid 10.0 with flash clean, a wonderful rom but my GPS fails in applications like Maps or Pokemon GO. Does anyone know how to solve this error? I'd appreciate your help
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Sheist!:
My "start from scratch" was ultimately a failure. Google erratic or non-functional. One bizarre caveat: one app signed previously by Apk Editor Pro 4.2 prompted twice and installed without repeating "incompatible" message. (it failed to do that before) Used sideload and TWRP 3.7.0-12.1-22.10.2023. crDroid recovery errors seem to be increasing, but will stick with v10 for now. No errors from TWRP, though.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] alaminkouser:
The instruction is pretty clear. But please fix type reboot and provide instruction to how to get to adb sideload.

The rom booted correctly, but it got stuck on around 47% while sideloading. It might panic other. I found from other source that this may happen but the rom is flashed. I can not say if it happens to you or not. But please add a note in the original post, So others do not panic.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Sheist!:
Yes; several problems with these "Telegram-friendly" instructions and the crDroid built-in recovery.

- the spelling error with "reboo."

- wipe means "factory reset" then "format data/factory reset"

- the 47% is normal (and terminates fine) without using the crDroid recovery. With it, it pauses and asks you on the phone if you want to install gapps, when it terminates the adb connection, seemingly as a failure but not actually. You then manually proceed to flash your chosen gapps bundle.

- To enable sideload in crDroid recovery, skip "enable ADB" and instead use "apply update" then "apply from ADB."

NOTE: you can easily verify when sideload is enabled in adb with this crDroid recovery: Run "adb devices" in adb, the "enable ADB" shows "recovery." (sideload fails)

With "apply update" and "apply from ADB", you see "sideload."

The crDroid recovery still spits out errors, which apparently are innocuous or either coding errors.

[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Sheist!:
You are going to have problems. I retested using TWRP clean and it looked fine, but it was not after booting into System. I sideloaded from adb both items and had apps issues on more than just gapps. Redone with given instructions and those errors disappeared.

NikGapps-core-arm64-14-20231107-signed.zip, or if a newer one exists. One member suggested putting in your phone, internal storage only, then flash gapps from recovery there instead of sideload. I have not attempted that; I just sideloaded both. No problems, but I don't use WhatsApp.

thanks in advance !
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] 18Orioon:
Ok, I'll see if I can get it to work but I doubt it. Once said that I'd like some type of way for creating backups so as to be able to recover whatsapp anyway.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] alaminkouser:
there can be issues other places. first check if you have a backup in google drive from web. then make sure you have installed gapps properly or not by opening play store. if play store works then gapps is working. then give whatsapp necessary permission to check google drive. you need to give storage permission if i am not wrong.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] 18Orioon:
I have gone over every step described. I'm going to try again but this time with nikgapps full, just in case the problem is there.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] alaminkouser:
i used core
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Sheist!:
You might try MindTheGapps-14.0.0-arm64-20231025_234300.zip, or whatever is newer. It only gives you one choice.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] 18Orioon:
I have tried and manage to install it successfully but it is a bit leggy and I returned to Pixel Experience
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Sheist!:
Leggy? :D The NikGapps core is the smallest of any of them, and it omits the Pixel Launcher, which I dislike because it refuses to include the kill-all button in a convenient lower-right spot on the recents screen. (I know Google has reasons to want us not to use it, but it is hard to give it up.)
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] 18Orioon:
Laggy :). I don't think lag comes from the GApps but from the system itself so I won't give it another shot until it is in a more mature state.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] alaminkouser:
If you use gapps and login to google keep the phone connected to internet for a while for data to sync. System can feel laggy in initial stage based on how much data needs to be synced. Test the system after a few hours or a day when things get properly synced, and apps get updated.

The rom has some very minor issues. But that is common for most custom rom. That does not tag it as "LAGGY".
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] 18Orioon:
I found other issues with the launcher, and I can't customize it. But I will try again today. Thank u. Also I did wait it to sync so maybe I did something wrong.

Also not only custom roms but official ones more often than not :).

Hello, how did you do to synchronize the contacts from the Google account? I have tried everything and they just don't appear in the contacts app. He tells me that permissions are needed but I don't know how to enable them, he won't let me.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Sheist!:
With Sync enabled on your phone, Google (and working internet connection) should pick them up quickly. You can also long-press on Sync and go into the list of all items and see what date/time everything synced, like Keep, Gmail, etc. You can manually re-enable any unchecked and force sync from there. If Google is simply slow, then I can't help with that.

Who is "he?"
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Aqueduct5231:
Great ROM, features and performance wise it's perfect, but battery life is subpar compared to MIUI and MIUI EU. Apart from that all works great. I'm using with MicroG, installed via orangefox with minmicrog installer. Banking apps working great. Tried the magisk method before and it locked me from my banking apps, even with patches and magiskhide. So if you want microG better go with minmicroG installer instead. Orangefox recovery is working fine too, had to install it after installing crDroid cause it overwrites the recovery.

The ROM can be installed via fastboot, as in the official instructions, and via recovery too, it overwrites the recovery and you need to flash it again using fastboot.

EDIT: When i mean subpar, i mean really... It doesnt even compare... MIUI EU got me arround 4 days of battery life, crDroid barely gets me through the day, and i use it only for light browsing, signal/whatsapp and ocasionally some banking. Even without gapps/microG it's subpar.

Thanks in advance.

joma227
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Aqueduct5231:
Sure thing.

I did the following:

- Installed crDroid via fast boot, just as stated in the official post;

Reboot, check if it's working fine, don't flash anything

- Back to fastboot, booted OrangeFox (https://xdaforums.com/t/recovery-12-13-official-beta-orangefox-recovery-project-r11-1.4635482/) latest stable version for spes. I just followed the wiki. Spes uses A/B, so you gotta do the fastboot boot recovery.img thing (here's the wiki https://wiki.orangefox.tech/en/guides/installing_orangefox)

- Boot into orangefox and install minmicrog nogoolag zip (https://github.com/FriendlyNeighborhoodShane/MinMicroG_releases/releases) just as usual. Done.

crDroid supports spoofing so no need to hack around, it's straight forward. I did't flashed the orangefox zip so crDroid took back my recovery, it really doesn't matter since i only used it to flash microG, but if you want to use another recovery you should keep that in mind.

I didn't install magisk because of banking apps, but it works fine with microG, security check passes with some patches, but for my bank it said i was using unsafe hardware and blocked me.

I don't use streaming services on my phone, only newpipe to watch YT and TIDAL for music, so i can't tell how's that working. Gotta do some testing. Maps and GPS working fine with microG (my biggest worry, really, used to have really bad experiencies regarding GPS in some past xiaomi devices using microG). I mostly run web apps, it's running great.

As for the update, i can't tell for sure. I'd say go for it now, it's working great, really great performance and no bugs, only thing to keep in mind is that battery drain. It only happens when you're using the device tho, in idle it's working good (again, subpar compared to MIUI stock and EU, but you can live with it just fine.)
