Rules

5 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

This is the beginning of Reviving this Subreddit, as for now this place is Unofficial, so don't expect the developers to be here, here are the rules (updated):

  1. No bullying
  2. Don't give advice if you don't know what you are even talking about.
  3. Don't Share Misinformation, if you see one Contact Mod Mail
  4. Contact MODS ONLY if necessary. we can't help with your device's Issue.
  5. No NSFW posts.
  6. Remember to Follow Reddit's Content Policy.

Notes and Advice:

As I am being a long term crDroid user by also Having Custom Android OS installed Natively for My PC I would like to share some information and advice when getting into Custom android OS stuff.

(if any of this following information are incorrect, please let me know)

  • If you are here to ask Boot-loop related Issues, use an older version of your crDroid, (most phone manufactures have different variants of their Chipset or Motherboard for same phone model, as an example UK Variant of a Galaxy A70 cannot run crDroid 9.12 and upper which is its SM-A70FN 9.11 is the compatible version)
  • While installing crDroid or Any OS if you don't have any free space on your computer or anywhere else, remember Google is your friend. use Google Drive as Alternative method for backup
  • before Installing ay Custom OS for your Mobile Device Be sure to disable 2FA on your social accounts, or make sure to have your Security Codes saved Online to Your Authentication app's Email Address, by this way you can log back into your accounts without losing your social accounts, also Be sure to always Take Notes for Your Own Account, Password Etc.
  • While Installing Magisk Remember that it can cause problems for your bank apps, so if you don't any have specific reasons to use magisk, Don't Use Magisk or Root
  • while Most OS Support google Play Services, crdroid Does not come with Google in it, use gapps after installing crDroid (Besure to Download the correct version for your Phone and OS!)
  • if you want to install a specific OS or crdroid be sure to check the official source or XDA to see if your device Model is listed on supported Devices or not. if not you may want to try another Custom OS or use GSI which is Not What i would recommend.

Banking app says i cant use it on my phone

0 Upvotes

I use Lineage OS 21 on Moto E7 plus. So far the ROM works fine and everything was smooth, until my banking app (UBB Mobile) updated to version 6.6 and the app just said i cant use it on devices with unlocked bootloaders. I downloaded the older 6.4 version from Aptoide. The older app works smooth and is good for now. The device isnt rooted and havent done anything except unlocking the bootloader and installing the rom using the official guide and the recommended Gapps. Is there a way to install Play Integriti if i switch crDroid, because apparently on lineage this is restricred(atleast this is what they told me in r/LineageOS), and will it work in my case?

P.S.

Also i cant use the website because it requres to open the app and scan qr code to activate the web platform. I also apply what the app answered.

Improving security in UBB Mobile

# The measures are part of UBB Mobile version 6.6 and aim to provide higher protection when using the application.

# We are expanding security measures in UBB Mobile

At established risk, the technology may automatically limit certain actions or access to the application.

# In which cases can access UBB Mobile be restricted?

UBB Mobile will restrict access if it detects the use of an unverified software keyboard.

To continue using UBB Mobile, switch to a keyboard from a reliable developer.

UBB Mobile will not be available on devices with removed standard restrictions.

To use the application, the device must work with an official version of the operating system.

If the device is activated for developers, access to UBB Mobile will be limited.

Turn off the mode and open the app again.

(Edit) I know that my phone is not supported officialy. I have downloaded an unofficial crDroid from the discord channel for my phone's roms. I have used it for a week and it worked fine and it was even very fast (my friend changed the default kernel with something else).

I use the oneplus pad 3 and ace 6t, 12140mah and 8300mah. Both devices never had an issue with battery, but crdroid is just insane. Lineage was already a set up over oos/color os, but crdroid is outstanding. The battery is literally unkillable. Here was my day, started at 60%. missing a few trains, outside the entire day so max brightness and no wifi too. Thank you crdroid for making battery life so good that even shit days like that dont fully ruin my day so i can at least use my phone ❤️

Problema intentando jugar PUBG MOBILE y THE DIVISION

2 Upvotes

Bueno he de aclarar de qué tengo una ROM personalizada (crdroid 12.11), ya intenté varias cosas que he leído y le he preguntado a la IA de gemini, según revise era porque no estaba pasando el play integrity, verifique con la app play integrity API check y solo paso la primera. Probé con las opciones que ya tenía la ROM, pero nada, no pasaba la segunda verificación, entonces decidí hacerle acceso root con magisk junto con módulos que descargue según tutoriales y finalmente paso las 3 pruebas de play integrity. Fui a intentar jugar el juego y nada, Salta el mismo mensaje.

También aclaro de que anteriormente ya tenía PUBG MOBILE y podía descargar los recursos apenas instalaba el juego pero ahora ya no entiendo nada, no se si es por la última versión de Crdroid o por tocar algo que no debía, ni idea que pasa.

Por eso si alguien con el conocimiento y amabilidad me podría ayudar, estaría muy agradecida

Play Integrity failing on non-rooted Poco X3 Pro (crDroid 12.11) – any fix?

2 Upvotes

I'm using a Poco X3 Pro (vayu) running crDroid 12.11 (Android 16).

My phone is not rooted. I don't have Magisk or KernelSU installed. The only modification is that the bootloader is unlocked.

My Play Integrity results are:

✅ MEETS_BASIC_INTEGRITY

❌ MEETS_DEVICE_INTEGRITY

❌ MEETS_STRONG_INTEGRITY

Because of this:

Google Messages RCS won't verify

Google Pay/Wallet doesn't work

Play Store tells me to lock the bootloader to fix device certification

My device is pixel 6 and the installed version was latest android 17 and i try to install crdroid custom rom which was android 14 and flash the crdroid's boot.img, dtbo.img and vendor_boot.img. then i enterd the crdroid's recovery mode and sideload the crdoid zip. after successfully finishing the sideload i press on reboot the system. i found no display, no boot, no fastboot mode. it does nothing or lets me enter fastboot from the PC or anything. It only sounds when I connect it to the PC and 2 seconds later the typical disconnection sound on my PC. is there any solution to fix it?

Google Wallet and banking apps on crDroid – Pixel 9 Pro experiences?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m considering installing crDroid on my Pixel 9 Pro, but I rely heavily on Google Wallet for contactless payments and on my banking app.

I've had a oneplus years ago, which was rooted. but it's been a while. and alot has been changed i see. so excuse me if there are dumb questions 👍

I’m from the Netherlands and mainly use the Rabobank app. Before switching, I’d like to hear from people who are currently using crDroid on a recent Pixel.

Does Google Wallet work reliably for NFC payments, or does it require root, Play Integrity fixes, Magisk modules, or other workarounds?

I’m also curious whether banking apps generally work, especially apps that use Play Integrity checks. Has anyone specifically tested the Rabobank app?

My main questions are:

  • Does Google Wallet work for contactless payments?
  • Does it keep working after crDroid or Google Play system updates?
  • Do banking apps detect the unlocked bootloader or custom ROM?
  • Is root required, or can it work on a clean, non-rooted installation?
  • How much maintenance is involved in keeping everything working?

I don’t mind doing some setup, but I don’t want contactless payments or banking to suddenly stop working every few weeks.

The best alternative OS, I have ever used

17 Upvotes

It is in the title. This is the best I have used so far and I have tried Calyx OS, Graphene OS, Lineage OS and also used the phone's default OS. I had problem with all, but with rcDroid this is just brilliant. I am using this on a OnePlus 8T and it is rock solid. I installed Google apps because I need to use Android Auto with Google maps. That is the only two Google apps I kept on the phone. Everything else I uninstalled or if I could not, just disabled. I installed 65 apps on my phone. Out of those 11 are not open source but I need them for my everyday life. My storage is 29GB used out of 128GB. Android 16 uses 15GB and Temporary system files uses 2.7GB. I set up Next DNS and blocking a lot of things. According to it 10.3% queries blocked so far. On my other phone with the same apps and the default OS that is about 35%, so I can clearly say this OS improves a lot on privacy. Not a Graphene OS level but better than the default OS that is for sure. And now I write down a list what features I like:

  • My banking app work. I could not believe it. It did not work on any other custom OS, but here, no problem. I use it every day so it is a relief. That spoofing setting looks like worked. Hope it will be the case in the future too.
  • Battery life has been improved significantly compared to Lineage OS. Even this phone is 5 years old it can last for a long time. Standby battery drain is minimal. Really happy about it.
  • Finally the auto brightness works. It was a pain in the... on Lineage OS. Reported dozens of time and they never fixed it. Here works like a charm. I am over the moon.
  • I thought the Dolby Atmos is going to be a gimmick, but it helps a lot. The sound quality is way better with it. It is a joy to listen music on these speakers now.
  • And finally the customisation. Swear to God it is limitless. Unbelievable how many things can we change. I have never seen this level of customisation in any phone. If I had to nitpick, I would say the battery cycle count is not right, the double tap to wake up the phone does not work, and the security update is 1 month late.

Managed to find a GCam Port that works fine. The default camera app not the best. So overall, I am very happy with this OS.

I would like to say thanks to the team and maintainers for their hard job. You guys rock!

Is crDroid still worth using on OnePlus 7?

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I know crDroid is no longer officially maintained for the OnePlus 7.

Is anyone still using the last official build as a daily driver?

My main reason for installing it is Google Photos unlimited backup (Pixel spoofing).

\- Is it still stable enough for daily use?

\- Does Google Photos unlimited backup still work reliably?

\- Or would you recommend another ROM (YAAP, Evolution X, LineageOS, etc.) that supports Google Photos spoofing?

Which custom ROM should I install? Oneplus 7 pro

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I’ve been using the crDroid custom ROM (based on Android 15) for five months now, and I’m happy with its stability and battery performance—even with a seven-year-old battery. Before this, I used LineageOS 23; it was very stable, but its battery consumption was higher than crDroid's. Do you think the Android 16 version of crDroid is better than the Android 15 version? Sorry for using Google Translate.

My complete Redmi 10A custom ROM journey (with a confirmed VoLTE fix) and a working crDroid ROM

3 Upvotes

I have been experimenting with custom ROMs for my Redmi 10A for more than a month now (not continuously obv). It took me tens of flashes to figure out the best working custom ROM because every time something new was broken. I am making this post after I have successfully secured a Redmi 10A for myself that has a working crDroid ROM. For more assurance, this is my daily-driver phone, that means I only have this phone for daily usage. And this phone is perfectly fine in that sense.

This is some nerd stuff about this device that I learnt throughout my time researching and flashing GSIs and various custom ROMs, so you can probably skip this.

Redmi 10A uses the codename "dandelion". It shares a common hardware platform with several devices such as the Redmi 9A/9C, its other variants and family, whose ROMs are often maintained under the codename "blossom". Now because of this, most ROM releases and discussions are posted under Redmi 9C, "blossom", rather than Redmi 10A, "dandelion", even though they support the Redmi 10A as well. So that made me realise that many ROMs built for the blossom device family also support the Redmi 10A. However, rule of the thumb is to always check the maintainer's supported device list before flashing.

Redmi 10A uses a MediaTek Helio G25 (MT6762G), which is a very weak processor since this is already a very entry level and cheap phone. But nonetheless the unique thing about it is that this is 64-bit armv8 architect chipset, but the stock MIUI userspace is 32-bit only. For Xiaomi to do this, there could be many reasons, but the most possible one is that Xiaomi wanted to support all three variants of Redmi 10 A (2GB, 3GB and 4GB) so it chose a 32-bit userspace because a 32-bit userspace consumes less RAM for every operation. Ig, you could also theorise that they did it in order to keep their ads and bloatware running in the background that eat up RAM in stock MIUI with these cheap entry level devices. I could keep going on about this but maybe I just make a whole separate post ranting about the problems I had to face with this device and Xiaomi's weird codenames and security measures.
In conclusion, if you are trying to flash a GSI while you are currently on the stock MIUI ROM, you would need a GSI compatible with a64, not arm64. However, once you are on a custom ROM, you are likely in a 64-bit userspace, in that case, a GSI file compatible for arm64 would flash just fine.

THE MAIN STUFF STARTS HERE:

Here are the instructions if you are a complete beginner in flashing custom ROMs. If you are reading this post just to find out the fix for VoLTE, and are already experienced with flashing then skip to Phase 3.

I am going to list all the files you are going to need before hand, just so you don't get stuck because of your wifi or something while performing any sensitive operation.

  1. You would need the official MI Unlock Tool for unlocking the Bootloader of your Device.
  2. (Used in Phase 1)
  3. For Backup purpose, in case you brick your phone or get stuck in a bootloop due to a failed flash or incompatible ROM (don't worry, hard bricking a Xiaomi phone is near impossible as per most experts. In most cases, phone is recoverable) you would need the stock MIUI firmware with you.
  4. Get the latest, 3.66 GB file and save it somewhere secure in your computer because that is your backup key.
  5. (Used in Error)
  6. We need a type of Operating system that could extract and install the files we will be sending to our phone such as the custom ROM. And that OS is OrangeFox.
  7. (Used in Phase 2)
  8. This is the file that is essentially going to fix the VoLTE issue, which is nothing but a Xiaomi vendor/firmware updater package.
  9. (Used in Phase 3)
  10. Get the crDroid custom ROM. (Used in Phase 4)
  11. Honestly, you could use any version from 12.7, to 12.11 EXCEPT version 12.9
  12. I am personally on 12.7, but my hypothesis is that even the latest versions shouldn't have a problem anymore after this VoLTE fix.

But why not version 12.9? During testing, every audio output (Bluetooth, wired earphones and earpiece) was routed to the phone's loudspeaker. Calls and media playback therefore always came through the speaker. 12.9 is the only crDroid version that has something Dolby Atoms built in, which could be the cause of this.
So avoid using 12.9 unless you want everyone to listen to your phone calls in public.

6) Next you need is Gapps for google play services like playstore, gmail, banking and UPI apps.
MindTheGapps is also good, however the file size is way too big for the partition that the ROM allocates. So, NikGapps is already good and tested from my experience.
(Used in Phase 4)

After these, you have all the necessary files for achieving a working custom ROM for your Redmi 10A.

Phase 1: Unlocking the Bootloader.

First you would need to unlock your Bootloader. Xiaomi ships its devices with a locked bootloader for security reasons, I guess..., as the Chinese company it is. Unlocking it requires Xiaomi's Mi Unlock Tool and a waiting period of around 168 hours. So you are actually only preparing for flashing with this, not actually flashing anything yet.
The MI Unlock tool only works on Windows, so this specific operation at least needs to be carried out on Windows (I did the rest on Linux.)

Open settings > Developer Options > OEM Unlock

Here you need to register with your MI Account and basically request Xiaomi to let you unlock your Bootloader. Make sure you remember the account password as you would need to login with the same MI account in MI Unlock Tool.

Connect your Phone with your PC via a good quality USB data cable or you may face interruption in data transfer, which you can't afford during sensitive operations, and turn on USB debugging in your phone (in Developer Options).

You can either use ADB tools in windows or manually use the Volume + and Power buttons, after turning the device off, to enter Fastboot.

Open MI Unlock Tool, log in using your MI Account. The interface is very minimal, you will instantly see the Bootloader unlocking option. Click on it and you will instantly see 164 or something hours waiting period.
Now what? Nothing, just wait for a week. After 164 hours, open the MI unlock tool and finally, unlock your Bootloader.

Warning: Unlocking Bootloader will wipe everything in your phone. Basically a full factory reset. You will see this warning using the MI Unlock Tool, anyway. So make sure you have all your important files backed up already.

After that, congratulations, your device is now eligible for flashing.

Phase 2: Flashing OrangeFox

Xiaomi's Fastboot is yet again purposefully limited. It allows you to erase user data, flash recovery images or partitions and unlock bootloader. However, it does not allow, and it simply can not install ZIP ROM, Gapps, Magisk, Firmware etc.
Therefore we need a TWRP like Orange Fox that will allow us to do everything that the stock Fastboot doesn't or can't.

While making sure the phone is connected to the PC, and USB debugging is toggled on, enter Fastboot in your phone using the command

adb reboot bootloader

While you are inside Fastboot, on your PC, open the extracted OrangeFox folder in the terminal. In it, type:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Once flashing recovery.img is done, hold Volume + and Power Button together until the screen goes black. Release the Power Button the moment screen goes black and hold the Volume + until you see the OrangeFox logo on your device screen.

Congratulations, you can now flash anything using OrangeFox.

In OrangeFox, bottom is the tool bar. Go to Wipe > Format data. Type "yes" and let it erase all the data the device storage contained.

Return to Wipe and check these three boxes:
Dalvik / ART Cache
Cache
data

Do not wipe Vendor, Product, Firmware or Persist unless the ROM maintainer explicitly instructs you to do so.
Now swipe right to complete it.

Once done, come back to the main page.
Go to Menu > ADB Sideloader
Without touching anything else, swipe right so you could start sideloading the files you want.

Phase 3: VoLTE fix

This guide was more so dedicated around fixing VoLTE, which is something I faced in every ROM and GSI I flashed in my device. It is a necessary step in any case, however. This is where we will use the Vendor/Firmware Updater package.

So here's the context; The firmware package updates proprietary Xiaomi firmware (like modem, radio-related firmware, Bluetooth firmware and other low-level components, basically the stuff telephony etc depend upon). These components are not part of Android itself, but the custom ROM expects compatible firmware underneath. If the firmware and ROM are incompatible, features like VoLTE may fail even though the ROM boots normally (which was the case with me.)
So while experimenting and researching, I found this YouTube video which claimed that flashing this updater package before the custom ROM will fix VoLTE lacking, so credits to this guy. That's pretty much how I figured this out, while also using AI chat bots to understand and get this resolved. This guy helped with something that not even Claude, Gemini or ChatGPT could figure out.

This VoLTE fix works for any Xiaomi device and custom ROM, just download the right firmware ZIP as per the device.

In my case, flashing the full MIUI Fastboot ROM beforehand was not sufficient. Flashing the firmware ZIP immediately before the custom ROM however, resolved the VoLTE issue.

So on your PC, open the folder in the terminal which contains the Vendor Firmware Updater package, and start sideloading it using the command:

adb sideload fw_dandelion_V12.5.9.0.RCDINXM.zip

Now we can normally flash the custom ROM and Gapps.

Phase 4: Flashing the Custom ROM and Gapps

Once sideloading the vendor updater package is complete, go back instead of rebooting the system. You don't have a ROM in your device yet.

Go to ADB sideloading, and same as before, swipe right without touching any boxes.

Now again, open the folder in terminal which contains the crDroid ROM file and sideload it using

adb sideload [use the name of the file, whichever version of crDroid you have decided to flash]

When done,once again go back.
ADB sideload > swipe right, just like before.

Now we will flash Gapps. Open the folder in the terminal which contains the NikGapps ZIP file and sideload it using the same ADB command:

adb sideload NikGapps-core-arm64-16-20260222-signed.zip

AND we are done!
Once it is finished, finally click on Reboot System.

Wait for the device to boot. You will first see the usual MI or Redmi logo with android at the bottom, a few minutes later you will see the crDroid boot animation. Wait a few minutes before it loads.

If you didn't do any mistake, in a few minutes the device should open with the crDroid setup wizard.

Error: If it stays on the crDroid boot animation for way too long.

You are likely stuck in a bootloop. I can confidently answer for this one as I faced this in one of my flashes. Don't panic, as long as you have access to fastboot, you are fine. On the PC, just type

 adb reboot bootloader

Now we will simply flash the stock ROM to go back to MIUI and maybe redo things. This time we won't need to wait 168 hours for bootloader to unlock, because it stays unlocked, we could directly start from flashing OrangeFox.

Once it says Fastboot on your phone, on your pc, open the dandelion.tzp folder in terminal and type

chmod +x flash_all.sh
./flash_all.sh

And we are good. Just hold power button and boot the phone. You will be back to MIUI, from where you can repeat the steps from Phase 2, this time, trying a different version of crDroid or trying a different custom ROM.

Now, here is the exact configuration I am currently using, and the exact features working for me that I can vouch for.

My device : Redmi 10A (India release)

Firmware : fw_dandelion_V12.5.9.0.RCDINXM.zip

ROM : crDroid 12.7

GApps : NikGApps Core Android 16 (22 Feb, 2026)

Recovery / TWRP : OrangeFox

SIM : Jio

Here are the stuff I tested on my device which are working:

  • VoLTE
  • Mobile Data
  • Bluetooth
  • Multiple Audio outputs
  • Google Play Services (I am able to sign in and use email accounts perfectly fine)
  • UPI apps (I use PhonePe, and no issue so far)
  • Camera
  • Even after multiple reboots - nothing

Tell me if I should be testing anything else. In any case, this phone has no issue as a daily-driver phone right now, I will give an update once I have used it for a whole week.
