[ROM][11.0][OFFICIAL][CEPHEUS] crDroid v7.20 [28.07.2022]

[Borg1of3]

Try to find out which apps are using battery or even prevent the device from going into deep sleep. Usual suspects here are Google Play Services. And check whether sensors might be an issue. High battery drain often is caused by pocket detection being activated.
Basically crDroid is very battery friendly so your experience is rather special not the normal one.

Hi, THX for the answer... I lookt for every apps and settings and didnt find any problem... problem cause the rom... I will downgrade... anyway last two roms have a lots of bugs...

Can't confirm. 7.14 runs smooth like a charm. No battery draining or any serious bugs.

I have three problems actually, random restart or shutting of during the sleeping time, ANX camera no longer working with the last rom and massive battery draining... Iam with CrDroid more then a year and never had all these problems acumulate at once... Hope future release will repair these cases. But anyway, Iam hapy user! This rom is hell better then stock one, that for sure...

I also have battery issues these days. System says it is due to Instander app. I don't know if it is the real cause but I really feel the drain. I hope it gets better with updates. Great ROM still.

Anx Camera not working after the 7.14 update. Says can't connect to camera. I tried uninstalling magisk and alla Anx camera modules, but the regular camera doesn't work either, the app keeps closing.

Even reinstalling magisk and all modules (miui core, anx camera 190r, Evasi0nXiao patch) didn't fix it.

I also tried reinstalling nikgapps (basic).

The camera only work in WhatsApp.

Can i downgrade crdroid to 7.13 without loosing data? Or should I go back to Miui and re-install everything?

Downgrade to 7.12 and problem solved. Battery fixed and ANX camera working like a charm.

I use instander as well and it's working fine. You can always update, check another version, block the app from running backwards or install the official app.

So it's due to 7.14. How do you downgrade? Just dirty flash?

sadly dirty won't work

People are reporting that 7.14 is doing good in terms of battery. But anxcamera does not work on 7.14.
So, I prefer 7.12. And yes, you have to do a clean install.

I'm devastated.
The phone hung again last night and I almost missed the alarm for work.
After weeks of stability, there it's again. This ROM is amazing: quick, cute, clean, robust, GCam working, excellent battery time. But that issue can be expensive to me.
I have no option but to migrate to A12. Oh no, all the apps again, the bank tokens, the fine tuning...

[EDIT] I'll try to find the problem to stay on this ROM

I had 7.13, started experiencing extreme battery drain last week. So despite not being happy about it, I did a clean install and went for 7.12. Unlucky me, I'm still experiencing extreme battery drain, it felt like it was better for the first day, then after a couple of days it appeared again.. Not really sure how to go about this.. Does anyone have any suggestion? Any clue what's causing the drain?

I had this problem as well. I think it has something to do with charging. I don't charge over night so i can see the bug some times.
When the phone reaches it's battery limit, does not matter if you've set your own (I set it to 80%), some times the phone restarts on his own. When this happens alarm clock and some other features don't work anymore. The phone gets slow and at some point hangs up completely. It isn't a real restart there is no boot animation, it just asks for your sim pin.
After that you can easily solve this by restarting the phone on your own before it completely freezes, at least when you don't sleep
At the beginning when i installed the rom, I missed my alarm clock a few times and it freezed often until I saw the uncomplete reboot and now I just restart it when it begins to act ****ty

Check whether some sensors stop the device from going into deep sleep. Often pocket detection sensor is the culprit. And AoD might also drain battery, never used it so not sure here.
Basically crDroid is not known for high battery drain. Here with 7.14 the phone runs easily for two days with approx. 5 h activity.

You can always try havoc os for example. Android 11 and good reviews.

Since I downgraded to 7.12 I felt consumption was good, but not as good as before. Maybe it needs some weeks to stabilize.

I'm blocking apps from running at background at the moment.

I'm doing the same, but I only get around 1.50h screen on time before I have to plug it in. I checked for the pocket sensor but I have it off, I'm gonna try to check on the internet for some app to monitor the usage. If I see that it doesn't get better within a few days I'll try to move to 7.14. let's see! Does anyone have any recommendations about apps to check for the usage? Something that keeps track of the wakelocks?

The thing is that if I have to clean install, I ride to A12. I'm just waiting for TWRP to support decryption on A12

I had a freeze when not charging, the phone was just by my side. Initially I thought it happened only when silent but now it froze on DND mode with vibration active.

I've installed two apps for this purpose:
GSam Battery Monitor
- Usually it's good enough as it provides many useful stats, some of them only when the device is rooted.
Better Battery Stats
- Tells a hell of details about wakelocks, sensors etc. But also here most of them need a device to be rooted.

Well, as I suspected.. Google play services are draining my battery like crazy.. I've been using the two apps you recommended, but I don't really know how to fight this. Super weird because battery life was great until a week ago or so.. maybe I'll try to do another clean install, let's see if something gets better..

You can restrict GPS from running at background.
