[Dual/Single] HaoZeke's crDroid [27-12-17] (LOS Based) (Clang v5+UBER)

[HaoZeke]

HaoZeke's crDroid​

crDroid is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device also attempting to bringing many of the best features around today. It's mainly based on LineageOS so use custom kernels compatible with them!

This is my latest daily driver which I update occasionally depending on weather I need/want new features. There won't be any OTA's because of work. Do please also check the Credits section, and the Screenshots tab.

Please use the Feature Request tab for feature inclusion requests.
It's also very hard to keep track of bugs reported here in the comments so please, again, use the bug reports tab...
I'm very thankful to everyone commenting, it's just hard to keep track sometimes, and seeing as DevDB has all the features required...
Since I also use XDA Labs which has no DevDB support it'd be best to comment AND add the comment in the required DevDB tab..

FAQ/Frequent Statements

Q0: When ${THING}?
A0: No ETAs. Don't ask.
Q1: You list my phone above but there isn't a build uploaded, why not?
A1: Haven't gotten around to it yet.
Q2: But when will you get to building it?
A2: Damn it, see Q0/A0.
Q3: How often will builds be produced?
A3: Whenever I get to them and feel like uploading.
Q4: But ${THING} isn't working for me. I cannot live without ${THING}.
A4: Not surprising, nougat is still young. Some features aren't ported and some may still be buggy. Maybe this isn't ready for you yet. And don't cry.
Q5: Xposed?
A5: Don't know. Maybe, maybe not. I'll ignore you if you complain about something and are using Xposed. Not out for nougat yet.
Q6: Can I complain about something?
A6: I'd prefer not, but be prepared for me to ignore you.
Q7: Can I report a bug?
A7: Absolutely. Please mention the kernel version and any additional files you flashed. Create a logcat.
Q8: When will you fix ${THING} that I just reported?
A8: Damn it, see Q0/A0. And if your ${THING} isn't something that bothered me, it probably just got shuffled to the back of the line.
Q9: Can I donate?
A9: Sure! Whatever you can. This takes a lot of time.

[HoiFung]

I'm glad to see the update again. Tomorrow I will test. Have you ever thought about building AOSPA? this is very good. Thanks again for your work.:laugh::good:

Sent from my Sony Xperia Z5 using XDA Labs

Good work !! :good:

Just to be sure, you flashed crDroid, then you flash microgapps and then Magisk 13.3 all in one go (no reboots in between)?
Did you finish flashing with wiping of cache/Dalvik cache before final reboot?

I did this, all in one go:
- wipe system and cache/Dalvik cache
- flash crDroid
- flash microgapps
- flash some Sony apps (from Pexomod)
- flash Magisk 13.3
- Reboot

Im not having heating issues in stock 7.1.1. And xnext camera is working in stock.
Crdroid for me is working like a charm. I cant say nothing about battery cause its too soon

[/COLOR]Hey bro @HaoZeke, Is it possible to dirty flash this ROM over stock LineageOS by @Myself5?

 

[balrajs99]

Make a Nandroid back and flash this. Period.
P.S. : If you read posts from begining..you already had an answer!

My brother too has heating issue on his Z5 compact since 7.1.1, and he uses pure stock, not rooted... I suggested him to factory reset.
About the camera on this crDroid rom: I think it's snapdragon camera, no bug noticed. Actually, this camera app is said to be very good. I did a lowlight shot last night and my surprise the shot was better than with Sony stock camera, even with Xnext!!
I'll do a trek this afternoon, I'll take some shots with this snapdragon camera (and with opencamera to compare...)

 

[cptMikky]

@HaoZeke: Hi, good work. Just asking: does this mean you're switching your focus from LOS to crDroid or are you going to keep them both up and maintained (to a reasonable extent, of course)?

Also, as far as encryption goes - was there any progress since 05-27? I'd like to help with this one so I'd prefer to know where to start.

 

[HaoZeke]

Actually... I was busy with my internships so I am totally out of touch... unless Myself5 and the others have made progress, There aren't any changes to the encryption state...

As far as LOS... The official one vs mine was basically about features and optimizations...
I'll be be using crDroid as a base since it already has a bunch of the features I was reimplementing..

Okay brov... Yur review ll be highly appreciated!!!

 

[El Solido]

I love this rom. it is really awesome.

 

[Mr. Cube]

I really want to try your ROM but I'm not sure about MicroG.

I tried MicroG on latest LineageOS (27-05-17) but after setting up MicroG I couldn't connect to Google Playstore.

I did the following:
Wipe System, Data, Dalvik
Flash latest LineageOS ROM
Flash Magisk
Flash MicroG
Reboot
Flash Nanomod-Patcher

I only want to know if I could use only the MicroG package instead of the full Nanomod package.

And can I use Magisk v12.0? Because Viper4Android Module doesn't work with latest Magisk.

thx
