I was quite tired of all the mata ROMs with built-in gapps, and so many without all the great customizations that crDroid brings. We needed a ROM with Signature Spoofing for microg support. I've tested out the 360 degree camera, it's working. I tested phone calls, wifi, messaging, and microg installation. All works, can even get location with UnifiedNLP on Android 10! I tested with minmicrog and NanoDroid with magisk overlay.

If this is well received, I'll work on improving issues and getting official status.

Thank you. I'm going to test it.

Funny I would see this. I had the exact same idea yesterday. I finally got around to building crDroid v6.7 with the LineageOS 17.1 kernel as you have. I also used the LineageOS 17.1 device files, and TheMuppets vendor files, (https://github.com/TheMuppets/proprietary_vendor_essential). I then installed Magisk and MinMicroG NoGoolag edition. I find that this ROM so far has been working fine. The only real issue I have found is that Aurora Droid which is installed from the MinMicroG package seems to crash during the first launch sync. However, relaunching it and syncing resolves the issue. This didn't seem to happen when building LineageOS 17.1 with full signature spoofing when I was testing that. Not entirely sure though if others will see that, or if it was my build.

I really hope to see your build get more testing, and get official status!

Best of luck!

I did have one force close of NLP backend with minmicrog, but it cleared up after the initial crash. NanoDroid beta had no issues. It's comforting to know others are interested in gapps-less (or less gapps ) ROMs, to the extent of building their own!

Speaking of NLP, and location services in general, I do notice in the microG self-check mine appears to not have the proper permission to access location in the background, and it seems the permissions is unknown. I see the permissions as "android.permissions.group.UNDEFINED", and I am unable to grant it permission. Did you notice this as well? Or, were you able to provide all permissions without issue?

The only thing I had to do finish microg setup was run this from ADB or termux.

pm grant com.android.vending android.permission.FAKE_PACKAGE_SIGNATURE

I've attached screenshots of my microg self-check results and locations permissions. The only unticked box is last known location, which I think is because I haven't used it since last flash..

EDIT: attachments weren't loading.. uploaded here

Thanks! I have already granted signature spoofing, and that appears correct. I'll check into this more later.

Thanks for the rom, I saw two issues related to Lineage tree, VoLTE not work for me, I fix with a Magisk module and codec aptx don't work too.

Thank you for reporting the issues. If I may ask, what magisk module did you flash to fix VoLTE?

EDIT: i think i found it here

Yes that is

Something I have noticed with my build is that the status bar clock freezes, and the network monitor when enabled in the crDroid settings disappears from the status bar quite frequently. The time on the lock screen and clock app appear correct always. Rebooting the system or system UI, as well as locking and unlocking a few times corrects it. But it happens again after the next lock or so. Is this something you have noticed with your build as well? Or, are you not seeing these issues?

So far so good. I love performance on this rom. The only issue for me is crdroid launcher. I'm replace it with pixel launcher + quickswitch and everything working so smooth. I'm waiting for the next build in future for more optimize.

Any chance to have the wireguard module baked in the kernel?

Thanks for this gappless signature spoofing enabled Rom!
Finally one that works out of the box

I will add WireGuard support in the next release. Thank you for your suggestions, and feedback!

New release is up. It has WireGuard and VoLTE enabled by default. Tested both, both working. Be aware that there could be a DNS leak for wireguard using kernel right now.

Screenshots for proof

Download is in first post, or you can shortcut here.

Dirty flash worked fine for me, but ymmv.

Bluetooth fixed ? Need gappless but also need aptx.
Also ymmv?

Your Mileage May Vary (YMMV) - basically saying that your results may not match exactly to the ones shown.

I made no changes in regards to aptx. Is there an essential ROM that does have aptx working? I can look at how they've implemented and try to recreate.

Failing that, I don't foresee myself implementing aptx into this ROM.
