[ROM][11][a5y17lte] crDroid 7.30 Samsung Galaxy A5 2017

Ohh ok thank you, any way to save my game progress then?

Thanking you!

There are a few ways a game stores it's save data by either their own server-client(s), Google Play or internal storage. If the game does not use cloud services then your game data should be in Android/Data/com.yourgamehere/.../ or a folder on root of internal storage. As of Android 11+ you will need root access in order to gain access to /data and /obb folders respectively.

Since you mention that some games will not save to the GooglePlay cloud, i assume those games are side-loaded apks of paid games? In that case yeah GooglePlay does not work and your progress is lost.

apps don't fit full screen without rotating screen, When I change screen size to large some apps fit but most of apps don't fit so I can't access top area of apps.

developer options -> display cutout -> device default , corner cutout, double cutout, tall cutout -> select one of the cutout except device default. problem solved

There is one game called 2048, then Dadish, that's all, both are free, and I have root access, so can you give me a step-by-step way to do it?

how can I install a custom boot animation in this rom (non root)
edit: i tried flashing the file via twrp and installing it manually by copying the bootanimation.zip file to /system/media/ but still not working (bootanimation.zip has been removed)
edit #2: nvm i got it

First of all I want to say thanks to all dev community that participated in this project and brought it to us. Projects like this helps us to keep our old but favorite phones up to date and function properly without bloatware (even if its has bugs).

Have anyone faced the low phone call speaker volume? I'm setting it to loudspeaker whenever im speaking in regular phone calls but the loudspeaker volume is too low.
On the stock Nougat it wasn't any problem it sound very loud.
Then I switched to LineageOS 18.1 and everything started after that.
Tried configuring mixer_gains.xml but that didn't made any difference.
And now I'm on this rom (7.27) and facing same issue. Have can I solve that?
It only appears in regular phone calls. Music, Notifications and Messenger Call all sounds perfect.

Well, to me it looks Ok, both the speaker and the loudspeaker.

@bestiatester Deep Sleep wasnt working for me, I had to flash riseKernel v1.11 to fix the deep sleep problem.

Well, I began compiling the A5 because I have a working one at home (BTW, latest update will delay, as I have broken something) and the previous maintainer was not interested on it anymore, as it only has Android 11 and there is no way to provide a newer version on a "official way". I'm already building some other old devices, so I don't mind building more, but we need to have testing machines, and I don't have an A7, sorry.
You can always compile it yourself, either for your use or for everybody to proffit.

 

[bestiatester]

Well, building for several devices can sometimes be hard, I broke a5y17lte build on my last cleanup, it was building but then the rom wouldn't even bootand to the logo. That's why it took me a litle more than the other roms I'm building. It is fixed now and back to normal.

I'd like to explain a thing, now that we are at it...I started building crDroid for the a5y17lte because @Simon1511 had stopped building it. I'm basing all this on his work like I explain on the first post of the thread. Thing is that some of you have exposed several things, I'll try to look at alternative builds for us to test and see if we get any better. But right now, version 7.28 as od March the 25th... it is based on @Simon1511's work.

Regards.

Hi!

@bestiatester Deep Sleep wasnt working for me, I had to flash riseKernel v1.11 to fix the deep sleep problem.

I see the problem with the deep sleep, seems to also happen with lineage kernel, do you know the url for the riseKernel source so that I can have a look and see what's wrong?

Regards.

 

[SirRGB]

Do you all use lineage trees or crdroid trees as base? Below is the rise kernel, but I noticed the crdroid kernel also differs from the lineage one...

The crDroid one is most likely outdated.

 

[bestiatester]

The crDroid one is most likely outdated.

@Simon1511 can I use your rise kernel on crDroid v7.X? if so... what branch? rise?

Regards.

Well I wouldn't recommend doing that since everyone should (imo) be free to choose if they want to use my kernel or not.

Besides that I'm fairly sure it's not even buildable inside of AOSP sources.

Help, its not starting!!!!!!!!
NVM.
First boot was just very slow.

 

[brød]

Here is what i don't like/whats broken:
-Can't grant permissions, that screen freezes same thing if you do truogh settings.
-Have to restart every time i want to charge or else nothing happens.
-Cant get contacts saved on sim in contacts app.
So i think im going to leave this rom

If I put the boot imge of A7 inside a rom folder of A5 then it will install/boot at A7 device ?
