I am well aware of what makes an official vs unofficial but I thought this was from cRdroid officially. I might be wrong, and you might be right if it's not on the cRdroid page, I thought this was done through cRdroid as an official. I still think it is, but I can't prove it since I'm not the dev.

Even if not, I'm remaining on it, it's flawless (Dec 5th build), with everything working including now playing and face unlock so I'm good to go with it. I don't even care about future updates, I only do them to help others but this is a rock solid version. I haven't hit a bug yet with this version (Dec 5th), and face unlock works perfectly fine. The latter version (after Dec 5th) the face unlock has a bug.

I can only find the 12/6 download zip as provided in the download link. Is this the version you are referring to as 12/5 build?

New report from this crdroid 9.1 update, have noticed random restarting not full restart, but Ui or launcher restart, I saved a zip matlog file after noticing the restart again.
explain the install process used, plus modules/magisk, ETC. I have used this ROM since it dropped and its up usually a week or two before I reboot it, so no random reboots here. It could be a custom module, kernel, I dont know so explain the build also what launcher, default? I use nova so its also a possibility why I dont have soft UI reboots and you do.

It was caused due to a magisk module

Yep.....currently switching between 2XL and 4XL. I love these phones!
If you loved the 2XL, you will LOVE the 4XL. I didn't at the very beginning of owning my 4XL but that's because I chose to get the 3XL first, then two years later the 4XL. I didn't like it at first because I was expecting similar hardware like the fingerprint scanner and didn't do my research first, same with things like the 3XL has, but the 4XL retired. My point is this, as long as you're aware of the changes between 2XL and 4XL hardwar-wise, then you'll absolutely LOVE the 4XL!! I made the mistake of getting the 3XL before my 4XL but I should've just kept my 2XL until the 4XL. The 4XL is flippin amazing and it's used 75% of the day for work (I do everything that doesn't require me to access the cloud) through my phone, the cloud work through my PC so I use my phone and rely on and need my phone, very much.

It's my daily driver and I plan to keep it and use it until the hardware blows up. I still get TWO days idle battery with plenty to kill so it lasts forever.

Yes, I had the Verizon 4XL and really enjoyed it but since the bootloader was locked I sold it. I have been tweaking my 2XL to be a work horse even though its old. I am currently running Arrow A11 and enjoying it.

I am glad I skipped the 3XL....was really close to getting one but ended up finding the 4XL with an unlock bootloader, yay! I don’t plan on retiring the 2XL just yet but once I tweak the 4XL to get close to 2 days idle I will

run the 4XL as a daily. It is currently running CalyxOS so I will see what kind of performance I get out of it? However, I am pretty sure it will end up with either CrDroid 9 or Lineage 20.

Pretty solid ROM, have been using it for about a week now as my daily driver (the 1-26-2023 build.) Much, much kudos to putzwon and whoever else is involved with this

Shapes of the quick settings icons don't change when a different option is applied, and same with the icon packs. They seem to stay as the default. The clock on the lock screen is still off-center (when not using the double-lines option) but other than those minor aesthetic issues, it seems to be extremely stable.

No idea if any of those have been addressed in the February 3rd upload, will flash it sometime this weekend and edit this post otherwise

Short video of my setup -

    "Mindthegapps" link as provided by @putzwon is good the phone isn't Hot (battery)..but, the play security isn't CERTIFIED, and will Mindthegapps also required reflashing "gapps" on the next update
    Check SafetyNet, make sure you pass, you probably need MagiskPropsHide, I had to enable options 1 and 2 and force to A13 and Pixel 4XL to get it certified. Then it works and will show as certified, plus Netflix and such will work. I have included 4 screenshots for example, so you dont have to guess at what I mean. I simply install LSPosed + SFNFix + MagiskHideProps, then reboot, enable option 1/2 in props, clear PlayStore app data, reboot, and bingo, it will self-certify you.

    If I misunderstood you, then please explain but I suspect you meant, Google Play, settings, then status.

    I'm on LOS right now but it will work and fix cRdroid and most ROMs. I have 100% personally tested this with cRdroid and recent ROM versions of cRdroid.

    It might work, but stick with OP steps, those 110% WORK, but up to you. I gave up on TWRP when A/B partitions came out and chose to just stick with and use stock ROM recovery. That will always work, TWRP, maybe not so much, IDK, it might, but you wont get the same type of help if you choose your own path (TWRP).

    Also, just an FYI on nomenclature, this isn't firmware, but ROM, firmware contains all partitions, drivers, ETC., this is just the OS (ROM).
    Great question. It kinda sucked to get back into modding Android and see how much it's changed. Sideloading instead of just using TWRP alone is on all the devices installation instructions cause I guess it's easier but extra steps and involves having to use a PC but TWRP has the option to install to both slots. Even rooting with SuperSU is pushed to the wayside in favor of Magisk. Magisk just sounds cheesey but I use it now. And what's his face, the developer of SuperSU who was like the top dude in Android devs sold SuperSU so I guess it can't be trusted. Who really knows actually cause the internet I'm on gives me all kinds of false info. Like 3 or 4 different methods so to learn something one has to take bits from each article and hope you get it right. Just sayin.

    Okay, you pathch the boot.img for root purspose only....so it has nothing to do with mind the gapps?
    Correct, you only need to patch boot for root. GAPPs, you need for Google's framework to function (I.E. play store, etc). GAPPs are optional, but I always use it otherwise you have to use FOSS or Open Source market, but I just use Google's. Other users worry about Google spying or security with GAPPs, but not me. I use it and never have a problem but I am also careful and know what I am doing, so I dont just install anything, from anywhere. I carefully test everything, or research it, prior to install and using Google Play, its usually safer than finding the same APK on the net and installing it.
