Hello! I've been using 9.12 without issue, but it looks like now that this is official 9.15 fails to update from the updater.

I've downloaded it directly from the site and tried doing the import, but it fails each time.

Do I have to flash from pc, or do I need to do a clean install and can't dirty flash because it's a "new" build?

Thanks in advance!
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] betacrypt:
Great rom. I didn't want to make the move to A14 given some of the bugs that are still reported for many Pixel devices, this one has all the customization I need. Installation was a breeze (flashed clean and using BitGapps core w/Magisk) and had no issues. Been using for a few weeks now and everything checks out. Keep up the good work!
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] 306bobby:
Sorry for the delay guys, been on a partial hiatus from the public side of ROM development and only been on my telegram. 10.4 has been released, 10.5 releases shorty.

9.12 was using some modificiations that aren't in official release. Likely will not work. Dirty flashing YMMV, hard to brick the device so worth a shot.

10.4 if you've OTA'd is very stable

Hi guys,

I am attempting to flash Crdroid to my Pixel 5. I have already installed Project Elixir using their custom recovery. The bootloader is unlocked. I attempted to flash the Crdroid boot.img, dtbo.img and the vendor_boot.img files. But for each of them, I get the following: FAILED (remote: Failed to write to partition Not Found) finished.

I don't know what that means. I need some guidance on this. Thanks.
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] 306bobby:
Run fastboot flash boot boot.IMG

You have to put the name of the partition between "flash" and the file name
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] larry.x.wong:
Thanks for the response. In bootloader mode (unlocked), I ran "fastboot flash boot boot.img" It attempts to do that but then it pops the message "FAILED (remote: Failed to write to partition Not found) finished."

Also, since I had already flashed Project Elixir, I thought I could simply flash CrDroid using the Elixir custom recovery via ADB. But it popped a message like "device not found"
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] 306bobby:
Hi, that is a fastboot/adb error, and flashing from elixr recovery should work

Reinstall platform-tools to the latest version
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] larry.x.wong:
Okay, I will try to do that later tonight after work.

Thanks again for the help!!
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] larry.x.wong:
I just tried again after downloading the latest platform-tools.

I typed "adb sideload..." including the rom file. The message I get is:

error: protocol fault (no status), which I understand from googling means my adb software is out of date. But it is not. I have no idea what is going on.

I had previously flashed Evolution-X ROM for Pixel 5 back in March 2024. Then I flashed Project Elixir (at the beginning of May) over that after wiping data and formatting. And there were no issues. But now, trying flash CrDroid, I am not sure what I am doing wrong.

I just did some more "googling"...

Do I need to flash the stock rom first before flashing the new custom rom? In my case the new custom rom is CrDroid. I don't recall having to do that previously, but maybe I am wrong.
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] larry.x.wong:
I was able to "flash-all" to install stock image. However, when I return to bootloader, which is unlocked, and I write "Fastboot flash boot boot.img" I get the following:

target reported max download size of 268435456 bytes

sending 'boot' (98304 KB)...

OKAY [ 2.322s]

FAILED (remote: Failed to write to partition Not Found)

finished. total time: 2.470s

PS C:\Users\larry\OneDrive\Desktop\Android 14\Crdroid\platform-tools-latest-windows\platform-tools>

Can someone help me understand what I am doing wrong please.
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] larry.x.wong:
I figured it out.

Instead of "adb sideload..." I had to use "./adb sideload..."
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] larry.x.wong:
I have now successfully flashed CrDroid and I love it!! One issue that I thought was strange: I cannot download Instagram. Does anyone know why this is the case?

Failing play integrity. Clean flash with newest 10.x build. Or clean flash with 9.x build coming in next day
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] larry.x.wong:
It was a clean flash with the latest 10.x build dated 5-28. Everything else works fine. So I side loaded an IG APK and there are no issues.

[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] AlexKarimov:
Just off hand, it looks like you're flashing from different folders. I always put the rom files in the same folder as my platform tools.

Once that's done, open a command prompt in the platform tools folder.

Follow the flashing directions in the OP, but type ./ before each command. That will use the updated platform tools of the folder you're in.

Example:

./fastboot --slot=all flash boot boot.img

Cảm ơn bạn, tôi sẽ thử nó

I also had a similar problem flashing. I opened a cmd command from the workstation finally...I opened explorer, I deleted in the top bar and I typed cmd. and from this window the fastboot and adb commands work without error!
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Cydras:
Wow this Rom works awesome! Installed it on my Pixel 5, everything is working! I have also Device Integrity, with that banking Apps are working! Awesome!

Thank you very much!!!
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] larry.x.wong:
Sorry for the late reply:

It is very simple. In the command prompt, for the commands type "./" before each command

Amazing rom. Only gripe is rcs shows connected, but messages don't send with tick but just as sms. Any way to fix it?
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] 306bobby:
That's a Play Integrity issue. The current fingerprint is banned for RCS. No fix until a new one is found
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Phan Manh Cuong:
I discovered an error. At about 40% brightness on a dark background, when the screen automatically switches back and forth between 90fps and 60 fps to save battery, the screen flickers. I have to turn on "force on highest refresh rate" to use it properly. Can I give feedback about this bug to the developer here or somewhere else?
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] 306bobby:
Which release? 9.x or 10.x
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] redsmith:
That happened to me even in stock rom. Most likely a hardware issue.
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Phan Manh Cuong:
Latest version 10.5 It causes annoying flickering
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Phan Manh Cuong:
I didn't have that problem in Evolution x custom rom. The screen automatically switches back and forth between 60 vs 90fps without any problems.
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] KyoshiDev:
Thanks for the great rom! Did a fresh install today and everything works great so far!

First bug: the alarm clock is very quiet at full volume on 10.5.
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] elessard84:
Great rom, thanks.

I have an issue with notification, though. I have no notification for hours and bam 10+ notifications at the same time. Happens random (middle of the day) with apps(whatapps, outlook etc.) without battery restriction on those apps and battery saver off. Made some research and saw that could be related to the doze function, so I disabled it; the issue still there.

Really love the rom, if someone have any idea how to fix this issue I would appreciate it.

(on v10.5)
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] hk25:
hi, great rom.

RCS messages and an option for hidden applications are missing. You should be able to put a different code and be able to find them in the search bar by putting the name of the application as on the evolutionx rom
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] 306bobby:
10.6 QPR3 has been released. Flashing through recovery is required due to ROM key changing. No data will be lost. Follow the steps below:

1. Reboot to recovery

2. sideload the new update

3. Reboot back to recovery

4. sideload add-ons (magisk, gapps, etc.)

5. Reboot!

[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Greendrake:
Does this ROM allow call recording?

The stock ROM makes it impossible for call recording apps to access the audio data when call is in progress, so is this restriction lifted in this ROM?
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] 306bobby:
Unsure, as I use root

The AOSP dialer has call recording. If you use root (which you can, you'll pass play integrity either way), BCR works

Hi I was wondering if you could help me out, I haven't seen a custom rom before with its own gapps, could we use for example MindTheGapps instead? What is the benefit of having its own gapps? I'd like a slimed down version if possible, can the telegram bot do this?
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] 306bobby:
Yes, you can use your own Gapps. The Gapps package linked is a NikGapps package that's been custom suited for my users

On the Gapps page in telegram you can find a list of features inside my Gapps, there is a full and a lite variant
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] elessard84:
Hi, not sure if I am doing something wrong, but I can't pass device integrity since updated to v10.6. (Sideloaded from 10.5)

I have magisk with shamiko black list and play integrity up to date.
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] tubrother:
first off, thanks for the ROM. It's been working great.

Except, I think I broke something. I use pixel flasher to uninstall the messaging app. The launcher keeps on restarting. I figured if I reinstalled gapps, it would fix it. However, that was not the case. I tried flashing the rom and gapps but it didn't help either. I am not trying to lose all my data. Is there anything else i can try? TIA
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Raz0Rfail:
Hi 306bobby,

I have updated my Pixel 5 from Crdroid 10.5 to 10.6 and can't pass Device Integrity.

I have installed the ROMsignCheck.apk and it returns that CRDROID 10.6 uses an Testkey and not an correct key (see screenshots attached).

Because the ROM is signed with an testkey, it will fail the device Integrity check.
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] 306bobby:
I am aware of this issue
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Raz0Rfail:
Hi, you can pass play integrity with the new play integrity fix 16.7.

Tested it on my pixel 5 with crdroid 10.6 and it worked fine.
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] jasonjohn95:
Hi there, thanks for this ROM! I'm on 10.6 (7/9/2024) and saw there was an update, but unable to install via the installer app. I remember a note moving from 10.5 to 10.6 saying that it needed to be flashed via Recovery. Is this still the case?
[Google Pixel 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] 306bobby:
Yes, the last release should be the last that requires it

Introduction:View attachment 6086209View attachment 6086210

Team Win Recovery Project or TWRP for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. We started from the ground up by taking AOSP recovery and loading it with the standard recovery options, then added a lot of our own features. It's a fully touch driven user interface , no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.

Key Features:

Touchscreen driven with real buttons and drag-to-scroll

XML-based GUI that allows full customization of the layout true theming!

Settings are saved to the sdcard and persist through reboots

Ability to choose which partitions to back up and which to restore

Ability to choose to compress backups now with pigz (multi-core processor support for faster compression times)

Onscreen keyboard

Easy selection of internal/external storage

In addition to the above new features, TWRP features a scripting engine that allows an app to send commands to the recovery for the recovery to perform during startup. We call this scripting engine OpenRecoveryScript. This engine will be put to use immediately in the GooManager app. GooManager will be able to install recoveries automatically for most supported devices. The app will also let you choose to install multiple zips from within Android, wipe, and run a backup.

THIS IS A PARTIALLY TESTED TWRP

BUGS WILL NOT BE FIXED

FLASHING INSTRUCTIONS:

fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk path/to/the/recovery

CREDITS:

Been out of this forum for some time. Looking for the latest ROM for S7 but also with Gear VR support. Does anyone know?
[OnePlus 12] DocSnyder75:
And with reflash of all partions, is the no signal issuse gone? With crDroid?
[OnePlus 12] snowwolf725:
I mean that the main system is no signal.

It’s expected that the subsystem has no signal, as crDroid lacks OnePlus 12 drivers.

crDroid can't load driver currently, so it had no signal.
[OnePlus 12] FakeGemstone:
When snowwolf725 writes a how-to it is always worth studying carefully.

My impression from your write-up is that this could be a useful tool if I could gain understand of how it works and the intended use case.

Please would you clarify for me what the acronym G.S.I. stands for? And is it just a custom ROM? Or an incomplete portion of a custom ROM?
[OnePlus 12] snowwolf725:
Sorry, English is not my natural language.

A Generic System Image (GSI) is a pure Android implementation with unmodified Android Open Source Project (AOSP) code, runnable on a variety of Android devices.

Ref:

Generic System Images (GSIs) | Platform | Android Developers

developer.android.com

If the OnePlus 12 fully follow Google’s Generic System Image (GSI) design specifications, theoretically, these GSI ROMs should run flawlessly on the OnePlus 12.

However, in reality, this is not.

You can think of this as custom rom which builds following google specific.

The rom can be run on variety devices.
[OnePlus 12] DocSnyder75:
I am very interested in working GSIs. Preferably as a daily companion.
[OnePlus 12] FakeGemstone:
Oh, I see. So using the DSU tool should allow a person to test a custom ROM during development without having to wipe out the stock OS. But the problem at this point, if I understood you correctly, is that installing the DSU tool causes the phone to either not be able to boot the stock ROM or the stock ROM boots but has full or partial loss of the phone signal.

Even if the DSU tool is uninstalled the problems with the stock ROM remain and require flashing to restore full function, is that correct?
[OnePlus 12] snowwolf725:
Yes, you are correct. You got it

In addition, I have not encountered a situation where my phone cannot boot into main system due to flashing DSU, although others have experienced it on different model phones（not OnePlus 12).

So I only recommend testing on a new phone or a lightly used phone. You have nothing to lose.
[OnePlus 12] flandolf:
I sideloaded a GSI and lost all cell coverage back on OOS. Factory reset didn't help and had to EDL flash stock ROM to get everything working again. Before flashing I'd suggest to backup every partition on your phone.
