crDroid is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android. You will find many custom features implemented from the Android custom ROM community over the years. Enjoy!

This is also using the revived fork, which backports security updates from modern Android versions to Android 10, meaning this ROM is more secure than greggit1986's LineageOS 17.1 and crDroid 6 ports.

Issues​

Please note this ROM is only for the G386W variant of the Samsung Galaxy Core LTE and the G386T variant of the Samsung Galaxy Avant, the other models of the Core LTE use a different SoC. G386T1 does not boot according to a friend of mine, despite using the same SoC as the G386T/G386W.

Samsung proprietary stuff (VoLTE, WiFi calling, etc) does not work. This is due to limitations of custom ROMs, these will likely never work.

Camera is not functional

Magnetic sensor does not work

SELinux is permissive

Menu button doesn't work

Data encryption is not working.

Offline charging does not work, the phone just turns on.

Downloads:​

Latest version (02-25-2024): https://github.com/Lost-Entrepreneur439/msm8226-releases/releases/tag/02-25-2024

Basic installation guide:​

Boot to TWRP

Wipe data, system, cache and dalvik

Install the latest zip. Both installing directly in TWRP and ADB Sideload work.

If wanted, flash GApps. NOTE: GApps will slow down your device significantly. I highly recommend using Aurora Store+microG instead.

If wanted, flash Magisk.

Reboot.
