[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] Mambolero:
@gregory_cooky : Hello, first of all, many thanks for continuing the work on this ROM. After the official abandonment of crDroid, your ROM takes up the torch with brio (especially the LEDs that work, at last!).

I've seen your message about the potential continuation of the project that could fall through, but just in case, I'd like to point out a problem I'm experiencing to see if you have a solution, if you know where it could be coming from, despite my attempts to remedy it.

I'm having a problem with some apps:

- Netflix is stuck on the logo screen and doesn't go any further.

- Disney+, the same with the little blue circle that rotates at the bottom of the screen at launch, the blue circle freezes... Then nothing.

- ChatGPT launches on the login screen... And crashes immediately.

- Snapchat, I can launch it and enter my log-in details, but then the app tells me that due to too many failed login attempts, my account is blocked. This is obviously just a generic message about root (or some other hated concern), because on other devices, it works fine (and I've even changed my password out of a clear conscience).

What did I try to do to find a solution?

- Of course, I tried enabling / disabling the crDroid option to "enhance Netflix": it didn't work.

- I installed Magisk (the official one) and tried things, with "Play Integrity Fix", tried lots of fingerprints, tried the old "liboemcrypto disabler" module (you never know)... Nothing.

- I tried with and without Zygisk enabled, with and without the exclusion list... Nothing

Note that on SPIC app, it's OK:

- on Play Integrity: "meets_device_integrity" in yellow and "play_recognized".

- on SafetyNet: "basic integrity" passed and "cts profil match" passed.

So I tried to check the DRM apps, and installed 2: DRM check and DRM info.

And then, strangely, neither of them goes beyond the launch screen, they don't go any further (like Netflix and Disney+). Whether I put them in the exclusion list or not... But at this level, it seems that it's a DRM concern, so I can't even tell where the device is at. And I don't know what else to do...

Thanks for reading this and congratulations on this job (even if the project is compromised...), and I hope you'll have an idea of where I could look to find a solution.

Thank you very much.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] 2faraway2:
Well this is kind of sad news but totally understandable for me ... However I'd love if you could continue to maintain the A13 branch then ;)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] 2faraway2:
Thats's a very good finding !!!

It would match with my finding of the above mentioned 'devcheck' issue, because the devcheck app freezes in the system tab, where the drm infos should be read and displayed ..
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] gregory_cooky:
Source code has been fixed and system boots again. I'm working on a new update. Thanks that you reporting issues and what's great that you try to solve it on your side as much as you can.

Maybe I'd need some testing so I upload some test builds and then ask you for testing.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] gregory_cooky:
TEST build has been uploaded please test it out. However, there is still some bigger issue with the cache files and I guess it needs much more work :-((((
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] 2faraway2:
I flashed and tested it a couple of hours ... seems to be fully functional (gps, wifi, bt audio, phone calls, deep sleep) and stable so far .. (y)

Just a few findings:

the issue with the drm functionality seems to continue ... the devcheck freezes like before

in the aperture app the video recording function works with a wrong zoom level or maybe with a wrong lense / camera id (like in your last build 😉)

in landscape mode (with enabled auto-rotation) the app icons (not the nav buttons) on the right side aren't visible, see screenshot

This as a first impression, more the next days ..
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] Mambolero:
Thanks for your promptness @gregory_cooky

I've just finished my backups just in case, and installed the test ROM. It's booting normally, I'll report back soon, after a bit of use.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] gregory_cooky:
Hey Guys,

Apologies, but I need a break from the work. I'm trying to solve some main issues with this ROM for a few days in a row (a lot of hours spent already). It seems that kernel needs quite many updates and it takes really a lot of time and focus. Probably I can get back to this work next week.

Answering some of your questions:

- This ROM doesn't have KernelSU implemented

- NewPipe (0.26.1) can be uninstalled easily

-At least 2 cameras working

This is not so common use (the landscape mode). Comparing to many basic issues the fixup you're asking for is rather luxury one :-))
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] rasoulia:
why this rom and project elxir cant connect to hidden network? i checked more than 10 times that wifi name and password is correct (case sensitive.)

update:

i found solution. it's not a bug. it's because it's diff in newer android or in custom rom.

Hidden Wifi SSID not connecting after PIE [ISSUE]

Simply any hidden wifi network i can't connect to it, after pie update , I can see saved network i just added but i can't connect , are there any fix!!?:confused:

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] 2faraway2:
Hey @gregory_cooky

Just to clearify: I'm not asking for any fixups ! I was just listing my findings ... if, when, why, what you'll fix, that's totally up to you :)

And I totally agree, don't waste your time with 'luxury issues', imho the most important issue is to get a clean kernel (which will hopefully fix also the drm issue)

Take all the time you need, no hurry ... the rom is - even in this condition- very good to use (y)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] gregory_cooky:
Cool, thx for the comment!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] gregory_cooky:
Just uploaded new build. I don't think I fixed DRM issue, yet. Anyway, I tried at least :) Please give it a try...
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] 2faraway2:
Hey @gregory_cooky , thanks a lot for the new build :)

I installed it a couple of minutes ago and guess what, in terms of the DRM issue at a first sight it looks good .. at least the devcheck app doesn't freeze any more in the system tab und shows imho the correct values (see screenshot).

To be honest, I can't test it because I don't have/use 'DRM dongled' apps like netflix, disney on this device.

The more optical issues (1. landscape mode not showing all icons and 2. aperture video recording connect to the wrong camera id) are still there, but that's not or less important ;)

The new build feels a bit snappier (however I haven't measured or tested anything in terms of performance), so as a first impression I would say: Well done @gregory_cooky (y)(y)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] gregory_cooky:
YAY!

Thanks for your comment.

I'm uploading (overwriting current build). I've changed more and checked that Netflix at least with MicroG works fine.

I've updated a lot of kernel code and device tree. Not touching anything else :)

You can re-flash your phone with the latest build (name is totally the same).
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] Esef4061:
Thank you for this build. Finally got my randomized mac address back. No more delayed notifications too.

Only thing I noticed though, it appears that USB debugging is enabled by default, and I can't find the revoke usb debugging button.

Edit: Found another "issue", the permission for signature spoofing appears to be auto-granted. There's no "Signature Spoofing" in the permission settings.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] joetbh:
Great ROM, thank you!

Does someone facing issues when sending SMS with VoLTE enabled?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] gregory_cooky:
Hi Guys,

I haven't seen any security update from crDroid for April. It's already May and I don't actually know if it's going to receive further updates...
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] gregory_cooky:
New build has been uploaded into the server.

I manually implemented update from Lineage
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] gregory_cooky:
USB debugging you can turn off in Developer Options. I've also disabled entries in properties.

Signature Spoofing is a matter of the system. In this case CrDroid.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] rasoulia:
does anyone using this rom for long time with gapps?

is there any problem? i want install new custom rom and want to know this is good enough or not? i don't want format everything when i want update rom. and if possible update through OTA. an special don't want change rom after installing this rom or any rom.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] hoseajsap:
hey thank you for the ROM,

Can you help me, I connect to my wifi on 5ghz and the speed is always around 10mbps. sometimes it is limited to 1 Mbps both for upload & download. I tried using another phone and it shows 50mbps+.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] gregory_cooky:
This information doesn't say much to me. Are you comparing Lavender with other device with the same specification? The device also has custom ROM installed? Apart from what the number is have you tried test real speed and compare them? Those are the basics then log is needed and then maybe it can be solved.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] gregory_cooky:
Hi Guys,

New build with May Security Patch is uploading to the server...
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] john_87:
Thank you for your great work, I'll like use it as my daily ROM driver.

But could you share all sources correctly in the first post? For example, the official thread discontinued was:

ROM: https://github.com/crdroidandroid

Device Tree: https://github.com/Vhmit/device_xiaomi_lavender

Vendor Tree: https://github.com/Vhmit/vendor_xiaomi_lavender

Kernel Tree: https://github.com/Vhmit/kernel_xiaomi_lavender

So, could you share in the first post ROM itself (instead of Device Tree) and Vendor Tree? Or correct it as the official thread is showed...
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] gregory_cooky:
Actually, I don't see any issue with that. Also I don't provide official ROM so I don't want to stick to that rules. I'm fine with what is. Please note that I don't share Vendor files because I'm not the owner of the proprietary files it consist.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] john_87:
Could you at least indicate where or how to obtain the source code related to the ROM and how to obtain the source code related to the Device Tree? I would like to compile it from source and that way I could know how to do it, or if you have everything in a single repository, I don't understand it.

So, are the other ROMs that share Vendor infringing on Xiaomi's copyright for proprietary parts?

Do you include the proprietary parts of Vendor in your ROM but still do not share how you include them? That could violate XDA's rules where it is stated that you must share the source code, because although proprietary parts cannot be distributed, the other files (source code non-binary form) found in Vendor can be distributed: it would be enough to indicate that it is necessary to extract the proprietary parts from a third source.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] gregory_cooky:
- Source code for the system comes from https://github.com/crdroidandroid

Device tree and Kernel links you can find on the first page of this thread. Vendor files you can use from the official release (Vhmit)

- I don't know and I don't really care still I won't share proprietary files

- Maybe I violate XDA's rules. If the thread is going to be blocked I'm fine with that. The only reason I share my builds is that I spent enormous amount of time to learn how to build a ROM and potential users (if they like the ROM) might use the result of my struggle. When you successfully build a ROM you can create thread as you'd like and fulfill all the rules. Fingers crossed.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] Slasar41:
Thank you for this build.

I've been using crDroid 9.7 (before the kernel switch to 4.19) and hasn't updated since then.

I decided to try updating to this latest build clean install without restoring backup.

For gapps I use NikGapps and install a few apps.

My bank app works fine but this shopping app freeze the entire system upon opening it.

I'm using that app everyday so I decided to go back to 9.7 again for now.

Could you fix it?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] 2faraway2:
I think you should provide a logcat ... without it, imho there no/little chance to analyze that behavior
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] Slasar41:
Yeah I should do that before downgrade. I don't use this rom right now.

Could you try download and open it? No account needed.

Is it just happen for me or not.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] 2faraway2:
Sorry no, I don't use gapps (only microG) ... maybe someone else ?

ROM was working great for half a month but now all my browsers are crashing immediately upon opening. Think there is something wrong with webview. Any help will be appreciated.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] gregory_cooky:
@mi128 @ChriMo

Guys, apologies, but I'm not going to implement Kernel SU. However, there's a new maintainer for Lavender Crdroid 10x official, so maybe there's a better chance for that.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] gregory_cooky:
Thanks, it's a rather system case. I haven't done anything with webview, at least intentionally. We'll see in the next build if it's better.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] PhantomKingg:
I changed my webview to mulch and it fixed the crashes. But the payment interface that I use doesn't load using mulch. Anways thanks for the ROM and the reply. Will really appreciate if u keep this issue in mind while working on the next build.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] ChriMo:
I messed around with trying to install crDroid 10 A14 ending in boot stuck/loop.

Tried to revert back to crDroid 9 A13 from here following the OTA procedure in TWRP-recovery-erofs-dynamic-partitions-230713.

This the TWRP log:

EDIT: second try flashing seems to solve those fails.

However after rebooting it seems I'm getting boot loop ending back in recovery TWRP.

Would like to ask for advise to overcome this.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] Esef4061:
Had that happen to me multiple times with these A14 eroFS or 4.19 dynamic roms.

Boot to recovery, wipe everything (do format data as well)

Reboot to recovery

Flash OrangeFox R11.1._6

Reboot to recovery

Flash A13 rom (4.4 only)

If that doesn't work, a method which always fixes any boot loop for me is the ff.:

Boot to recovery, wipe everything (do format data as well)

Reboot to recovery

Flash Orangefox R11.1_2

Reboot to recovery

Flash Android 11 ROM, preferably an old vanilla one

After booting up, you can proceed again to normally flash recoveries and roms.

If that still doesn't work. Get the Mi Flash Tool and flash an official MIUI rom (Make sure to select the option where it doesn't re-lock your device.

Pro Tip: Always keep a backup copy of Android 11 ROM and Recoveries, they almost always work in getting you out of bootloops.

I personally don't bother with these A14 4.19 dynamic releases anymore. I avoid them like the plague. I find them to be almost always buggy, hard to install/update, and prone to breaking/resulting in boot loops.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] Esef4061:
Are there anyone using this ROM with MicroG?

ROM doesn't appear to support Signature Spoofing like other CrDroid builds.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] ChriMo:
I'm sorry: what does 4.4 mean for A13?

Fortunately this lavender so far is only a testing device so unfortunately I did no full backup (just the Apps). Thx for the advise. I will take care and see if A13 or A11 so far is the best experience.

I just wanted to bring a Banking App to run, which seems to need KernelSU or such things. Such a shame: I wrote multiple times to the Support of this and other such "Stock Locked GApps Focused" Apps, but mostly the support does not even understand, what Devs would need to change for the App to work on Custom ROMs or outside walled gardens. It should be forbidden by regulators that two multinationals control access and proprietary environments of almost all digital services for privates (and small/medium businesses).

EDIT: while method1 did not work in my case, method2 with flashing of the only A11 ROM vanilla I still had on my HD worked: the ROM booted up.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] Esef4061:
The 4.4 is the kernel version. ROM posts usually will tell you what kernel they use (4.4 or 4.19). ROMs with 4.19 kernel are typically the ones that use the dynamic partition.

Yeah, it is really annoying how banking apps refuse to work in unlocked devices. Some banking apps don't even work if you have developer options enabled. Even if they do work, it is only a matter of time before they start implementing more restrictive checks. Luckily my bank works just fine, and they have a website as well in case the app doesn't work.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] 2faraway2:
Can't confirm that !

Signature spoofing works without any issue :) I have that running with magisk (rel. 27.0) and microG Installer Revived (re. 3.2.0.0)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] Esef4061:
Interesting, maybe I'll try reinstalling. I'm not seeing the signature spoofing permissions.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] Esef4061:
It does work, but it seems that spoofing permissions are auto-granted? There is no "Spoof package signature" permission settings on Settings -> Privacy -> Permission Manager.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] 2faraway2:
Yes, that's right, there's no switch to set the permissions in the settings, but the permissions are generated automatically for (and only) the gms packages ..
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] Esef4061:
That's interesting if that's the case. That would mean there's a check implemented in the ROM looking for specifically for microg packages, no?

Have you verified this using other apps that request for signature spoofing? I can't really test it right now as I just went back to my old rom for work.

Perhaps https://f-droid.org/packages/lanchon.sigspoof.checker/

@gregory_cooky, any chance the permission manager for signature spoofing can be added? It was available in Vhmit's previous builds, and comes standard with CrDroid builds as far as I am aware (at least for official ones).
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] gregory_cooky:
Guys,

Everything you're describing is on the System side. I'm not able to fix such things by myself (like find the issue and fix it). There were a few fixes which seem to be connected with the issue you describe. I normally use MicroG on different device which comes from the same system source files and haven't encountered issue with signature spoofing. I didn't notice in the latest crDroid versions based on A13 switch for signature spoofing, though. Anyway, I don't use any banking apps and my usage of the phone is rather simple, so maybe I don't even have a chance to face many issues.
