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


Always Have a full functional Backup. Just in case if you want to!

First time installing crDroid to your Nexus 7 2013 or coming from another ROM:

** Make sure you're running a proper working Recovery (TWRP)
1) Copy crDroid zip, gapps zip, to your device
2) Boot into Recovery
3) Wipe everything except internal storage.
4) Flash ROM
8) Flash gapps
9) Boot up

For root, AFTER you boot into the ROM, you can go back to recovery and install Magisk v20.1 (whatever is most recent).

Upgrading from earlier version of crDroid:
The only difference between clean flash as above and upgrading is you just wipe system & cache, leaving data. Everything else is the same. ***Remember to always clean flash before reporting problems. Clean flashing is always the best method of ROM install.

KNOWN ISSUES
- NFC has been removed and disabled so it's unusable at the moment.
- Navigation bar glitches sometimes.
- Since it's Android Q you may have problems with certain apps not working properly. You will have to tell the developer of the certain app to update their app to be compatible with Android Q. This is not a problem with the ROM.
- Compass seems to not be working.
- Encryption does not work.
- Several crDroid features may or may not be available yet.
- You will be required to repartition your system to at least 1.3gb.
- You tell us!

I have a problem installing the GApps with ROM build 20191126 . Coming from LineageOS 16.0 (flo) I wiped everything except of the internal storage.

But I always get "Incopatible Android ROM detected. This GApps pkg is for Android 10.0.x ONLY. Please download the correct version for your ROM: 6.0.1 (SDK 23)"

Is this a problem of the ROM or the GApps package?

Have you messed with the build.prop file or any other system files located in system/system in twrp? I did that accidentally and the only way to get it fixed was to reflash the rom and wipe everything except internal storage then reboot recovery then flash the rom and then reboot recovery again and then flash gapps. Try that and make sure you have the latest version of twrp recovery:)

Hi all.

Just downloaded crDroid to give a test spin to see how it is.
I'm primarily a gzr, aex guy.
LineageOS and crDroid are my next rom choices.


A note about OpenGapps 10.
It has issues mounting system on some devices.

Installing ROM, rebooting into system and then rebooting back into recovery, works.
Honestly takes too long for me. ;)

A quicker way that normally works is.
- Install ROM.
- Mount (or unmount and remount) system in TWRP.
- Install OpenGapps 10.
- Reboot to system.
- - or install Magisk, kernel, what ever else and then reboot to system.


At first glance, crDroid seems to be working well. :highfive:

Cheers. :cowboy:

I did not modify anything, just coming from LineageOS 16.0 (by ripee) wiped everything, except the internal storage, and installed your rom using TWRP-3.3.1-1_UA. My current solution is to modify the GApps package install script so the version check is not failing. At the moment everything is running fine.

Thank you @JT1510365 for giving Flo another Android 10 ROM.
Coming from @followmsi aex 7 Aplha.
I see you mentioned 1.5Gb required for system, but I have partitioned with @followmsi 1280_120 script. After reading a post by Clamor about partitions to 1.5Gb required complete format look complex. I skipped the process.
I'm able to clean flash your ROM, with OpenGapps beta Pico (unmount-remount system in TRWP, with @ipdev suggestion).
Run really smoothly so far, but I did encounter 2 problem.
1) video glitch, a fix was given by @ipdev to mod media_codecs.xml (see attached screenshot)
2) when tap battery in settings, it crashed. Return to home screen.

Thanks again!

Update to 2.
After pressed battery in settings, crashed back to home screen. A small window appeared, I select app info and settings info appear. Did the clear cache, no go. Clear cache and storage (Bad idea) and reboot. After the cdroid bootanimation, screen just faded to Black. No lock screen, not able get back into ROM.
Did a complete clean install of ROM only, reboot into ROM. No other things are added, tapping battery in settings still crashed. Is no biggy, does not take away the smoothness of the ROM.

Anyone know how to get weather next to the home screen at a glance?

This is such a fantastic ROM. Thank you so much JT1510365!
No hassle clean install, extremely solid & dependable, and now the daily driver on the FLO.

I do very much wish that it was available for the DEBs.

Thank you and I will let you know when the deb build is available:)
I peeked into your crDroid 10 DEB upload folder and found it.

You have done it!

Wipe everything but internal, install crDroid 10 DEB, install open_gapps-arm-10.0-nano-20190928-BETA, install Magisk 20.03. Wipe caches.
Very fast first boot time. No hiccups.
Quick page to page crD setup.
Set smallest width to 703.
Playstore/Google account login no issues.
Backup+ restore no issues.
Magisk SafetyNet Check: Success. No issues.
Good battery life & charge time, no issues.
Screen rotation no issues.
Camera fine no issues.
Networking & VPN Hotspot no issues.
LTE signal XLNT!

So far, this puppy is solid as a rock. Everything that I use it for works. (Wireguard, VPN Hotspot, Netflix, Plex, MXPlayer Pro HW+, email & web browsing, Juice SSH, AdminHands, etc.) No crashes/FCs/errors so far.

A great many thanks to you for your work, and for breathing new life into these DEB & FLO JT1510365! -Android 10 for DEB is a unique challenge, and very much appreciated.

Magnificent!
