[Samsung Galaxy M20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] multowz:
crDroid is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device with many customization options.

Features of crDroid​

All the features that LineageOS has

Signature spoofing support (for microG)

Many customization options for status bar, quick settings, lock screen, navigation, buttons, notifications and more

Game Space and MatLog apps are pre-installed

Device spoofing options for higher FPS in games, Google Photos unlimited storage and Netflix

Known issues​

IMS (VoLTE, ViLTE, VoWiFi)

Wide-angle camera

Instructions​

Boot into custom recovery

Wipe dalvik, cache, data and internal storage

Format data

Flash the latest zip file

Reboot your device once the installation is done

To update the ROM,

Boot into custom recovery

Flash the latest zip file (don't wipe anything!)

Reboot your device once the installation is done

If you were using GAPPS, you'll need to re-flash it too.

Sources​

ROM: here

Kernel: here

Vendor: 1 2

Device: 1 2 3

Hardware: 1 2 3 4

Thanks to​

SamarV-121 (for providing all sources and answering my questions)

twoxa (for answering my questions about general Android compiling process)

Notes​

This ROM doesn't come with GAPPS. If you'd like to use GAPPS, you'll need to flash it manually with ROM.

If MTP is not working, disable "USB debugging" from developer options if it's enabled.

If you're using Kitsune Mask (Magisk Delta), please do NOT enable "Enforce SuList" option. This prevents phone from booting and you'll just get nothing but a black screen with power menu. If you've encountered this issue, go into the power menu, long-press the "reboot". You'll see a confirmation message about booting into safe mode. Start your phone with safe mode. This will disable all Magisk modules and "Enforce SuList" option. After that, you can safely reboot your phone as normal.

[Samsung Galaxy M20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] rashuv:
I flashed this rom using los21 recovery, this ROM is very smooth than los21 and i didn't face any such low brightness problem or such. I liked the miscellaneous features like game high fps, Netflix and mainly unlimited Google photos trick. Yes sometimes there is some touch problem but overall it's the best

After 1st update: the battery backup is good by a margin now
[Samsung Galaxy M20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] sarwarnouri:
I've been using this rom for a few days now

I flashed it through lineage recovery along with "basic NikGApps" and magisk zip for root access

going through configuration process and setting everything up, was a bit bugged (especially CrDroid exclusive features related to the appearance) and i had to restart system UI a few times and even the phone but u could go through it and it's probably a one time thing

but after that for the most part it's been working great

I've noticed a slightly more battery usage (compared to lineageOS 21)

i get memorized by the boot animation and found it really beautiful

I flashed the pixelify magisk module for gsm flags and pixel launcher's interesting features and I've managed to get Gemini AI working on it

do i recommend this rom over lineage os 21 or lineage 20?

well from my experience compared to LOS21 it's more optimized and probably even smoother

but if u're on los20 and u want more customization go for it

but keep in mind that it might be a bit more power consuming (or it could just be me)

either way I plan on staying on this rom

i appreciate our new Dev's effort on this rom and I'm looking forward to see his future works ♥️
[Samsung Galaxy M20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] MantisG:
Hi all!

I am trying to install on my SM-M205FN/DS. (Was running Android 8.1 before)

I followed exactly:

Boot into custom recovery

Wipe dalvik, cache, data and internal storage

Format data

Flash the latest zip file

Reboot your device once the installation is done

using TWRP 3.7.0_9-0. (which i flashed via Odin)

I get through all the steps without errors, but in the end after the reboot I just get into a loop.

It's an old phone of mine, I wanted to use for learning how to use custom roms. So no big deal, but I would appreciate any kind of help! If I can provide more Information, please let me know!

I am quite new to the subject and maybe I am missing something obvious, but I can't figure it out.

Thank you in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy M20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] rashuv:
thats where you did wrong, use lineage recovery
[Samsung Galaxy M20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] MantisG:
Thank you for the quick answer!

Do you have a link to a fitting version?
[Samsung Galaxy M20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] rashuv:
there is a lineage recovery made by samar for lineage 21 of m20, use that its quite good in compared to ghost touch as well
[Samsung Galaxy M20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] MantisG:
Sorry to bother you agian.

I have installed the lineage-21.0-20240125-recovery-m20lte.img with heimdall and it works so far.

Then again I do all the formating and wiping and also mount system.

After that I try to flah the crDroid.zip

But here I get an Error now:

Verifying update package...

ERROR: recovery: failed to verify whole-file signature

error: 21

I redownloaded the file, and checked, that it is not corrupted.

Still same error.

Could the issue be, that I started from Android 8.1 instead of Android 10?
[Samsung Galaxy M20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] multowz:
Since it's not official ROM, signature verification is not required (and not possible, AFAIK). Just skip the verification and continue the process.
[Samsung Galaxy M20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] XBITZ_07:
the ghost touch problem is huge.
[Samsung Galaxy M20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] rashuv:
not much in latest crdroid with lineage recovery
[Samsung Galaxy M20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] XBITZ_07:
I tried los21 and it was laggy, then I tried this. For me this is unusable completely; the touches never stop and is everywhere

did you try with los recovery?
[Samsung Galaxy M20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] XBITZ_07:

[Razer Phone 2 Questions & Answers] zenith2020:
I hardbricked my rp2 a week ago and have been searching online since then for solutions. I found a post here https://xdaforums.com/t/how-unbrick-razer-phone-2.4110929/ and I'm seeing the exact same issue with my attempts on QFIL. I was wondering if anyone ended up being able to get your rp2 back in working order and if so, how?
[Razer Phone 2 Questions & Answers] mvikrant97:
Do you have the EDL firmware for unbricking the device?
[Razer Phone 2 Questions & Answers] zenith2020:
I have this zip (rp2-edl.zip) that I found in another thread, and customized the xml files to match the content from the factory image download from Razer https://developer.razer.com/razer-phone-dev-tools/factory-images/ but i'm still getting the same error message in the thread I linked to above. I did the XML image mapping customization based on the flash_all.sh found in the razer factory-images link.

I tried in every permutation of the XML files I could think of and trying to break it down to bare essentials (like just the rawprogram0.xml but have had no luck. At this point, I'm not sure if this is the right .elf file but I'm not sure where else to find one or how to verify the .elf file.
[Razer Phone 2 Questions & Answers] Renate:
QFIL is a stupid and archaic program. Its progress and error messages are obscure and ambiguous. ASCII art is passé. I've already said enough about stupid virtual com port drivers.

To see reality either use bkerler's Python EDL client or my native Windows EDL client (in the sig). Try using your loader with that and see if loads.

Unless you know that you trashed the partitioning, it's better to rely on the partitioning already on the device than some bogus XML that you had to edit.
[Razer Phone 2 Questions & Answers] zenith2020:
Thanks! I'll check it out. And i'm not sure if I trashed the partitioning, the device was rooted before and I was trying to install LineageOS but forgot to enable the USB connection in the Developer settings so the recovery and main installation failed in fastboot. Not sure if thats enough information to tell if I trashed the partitioning.
[Razer Phone 2 Questions & Answers] zenith2020:
Hi @Renate I tried using the edl.exe tool and downloaded the appropriate driver from Zadig. It shows up when I run some commands but none of the information commands are working. I'm not sure what to do from here. Here are the corresponding logs:

[Razer Phone 2 Questions & Answers] Renate:
You haven't loaded a loader. You need one.

I presume that you redacted the Hash?

There is no need, it's not secret, it's not yours.

Moreover, you need the Hash to figure out what loader to load.

Just tell me the first 16 characters and I'll tell you the next 80.

[Razer Phone 2 Questions & Answers] yeetlmao1337:
Going through the same issue, the RP2 has a weird requirement that you flash it with a USB2 port that doesn't support USB3 for some reason, so you'll have to locate an older machine to unbrick it. Hope this helps!
[Razer Phone 2 Questions & Answers] zenith2020:
Thats pretty difficult to find currently, is there a way to modify the driver for the USB port that would make it act correctly?
[Razer Phone 2 Questions & Answers] zenith2020:
@Renate Just to clarify, that means the .elf file i'm using is incorrect?
[Razer Phone 2 Questions & Answers] Renate:
It's not working and I don't know what the issue is.

Does the phone disconnect the USB when the load fails?

(i.e. does it "bong"?)
[Razer Phone 2 Questions & Answers] zenith2020:
Yes, I thought that was just it trying to enter fastboot mode from EDL?
[Razer Phone 2 Questions & Answers] Renate:
The USB should not disconnect after the Firehose loader is loaded.

I verbosely indicate with "starting" that the PBL (ROM bootloader) is happily transferring execution to the just loaded Firehose.

If the USB resets at that point it means that there was some kind of panic and it did a hard reset.

Therefore, the Firehose was not a happy one despite all other indications.

Hello,

I bought a Vanku 1 din Android Auto Radio 10" with Android 11:

BUILD VERSION : rk3566_r-userdebug 11 RQ2A.210505.003 eng.hct2.20210908.184542 release-keys

version noyau : 4.19.193

version MCU : MTCHR_HT3_V3.80_2

I'm not happy with this Android version. I can't access to the data folder of my TomTom application to backup my maps and POI.

Is it possible to downgrade to an older Android version ? 9 or 10 ?

If it's possible, anyone can tell me where I can find the firmware to reinstall my head unit ?

Is it worth it to update from 12.1 to 14? Is there really enough features to justify the UI downgrade?

Is there any way I can see hardware module battery usage (per wifi, radio, screen...), only app battery usage is there? In Oxygen OS 14.
[OnePlus Nord 2T] mcguolo:
I didn't notice so many UI changes, only the volume slider/panel. Didn't find so many enhancement too, only one really useful thing is you now can limit battery charging to 80%.

As a side note, I don't know if it's just some kind of placebo effect, but display colors seem more brilliant with latest update.
[OnePlus Nord 2T] 8y73:
You can install the OTA update without problems. It will NOT relock the bootloader. Just root it again after the OTA.
[OnePlus Nord 2T] TedFin:
I had oxygenos 14 on my device before it got a motherboard swap, There was many ui changes in my opinion, like apps, status bar + control panel, then also things like the lock screen + home screen, oxygenos 13 also had many of these, if not all of these, which is why i'm still on OxygenOS 12. The battery limiter isnt really a big deal for me, I did have it on, and it was nice but then again this will only be my main for about 2 years now, (phone purchased in late 2023) so I don't really need the battery health to be too high, as long as it will last me these 2 years, which I'm pretty sure it will since I use the optimized night charging anyway, and it has optimized to when I normally wake up.
