Yes. I've been did my initial setup months ago, but if I remember correctly, mobile networking is disabled by default.

Is anyone having issues with getting gmail notifications? I am wondering I am needing to factory reset.
I see comments in Playstore that some are facing the same issue based on comments, so I'm not exactly sure.

It's pretty straightforward. The link what you mention is crDroid project site. Since this is an unofficial build, obviously you won't find it there. The download link is explicitly in the description in the download section.

    Thank you. I know I can save in vcf format, and I am already doing that. However that is not what I'm trying to figure out what to do.

    I want to ...

    (1) ... totally prevent contacts from being shared with Google.

    (2) ... still have my contacts visible in SMS and phone apps, even without the Android 11 Contacts app being active. Ideally, I want to freeze the Contacts app.
    OpenContacts or Simple Contacts are a couple options that do some of what you want.

    OpenContacts uses its own database that's shielded from Android. It's the most private option I know but the least convenient.

    Simple Contacts lets you have it both ways by saving entries on device that you can sync with CardDAV, or store in the Android database for contacts you want to sync with Google.

    With any alternative contacts app expect tradeoffs with dialers, SMS etc.

    Thank you very much. Yes, your suggestions indeed point me to the way to solve my issue. And I did indeed solve it in a similar manner. Here is my explanation of my solution ...

    Glad to hear, looks like you came up with a sound solution that doesn't sacrifice much.

    I knew there'd be other options but I've only tried those two apps. It's been a while since I made any attempt at protecting contacts or de-Google measures of any kind. My focus on other types of push-back never let up but it hasn't been enough. The situation keeps getting more ridiculous unless we take the initiative.

    Thanks for pointing to that thread, it's bookmarked and will be part of my refresher course.

    That thread is for the "TeMeFI" app, which is a very useful system administration tool for Android that was created by the author of that thread, "DiamondJohn". I went to that thread to see if the "TeMeFI" utility might be able to help me solve my issue with device-only contacts. And as a result of my discussion there, I learned what I needed to do in order to accomplish that goal.

    Through the use of that "TeMeFI" app, it's possible to do a lot of system-level tweaking of Android devices, and the software and the thread itself are very good and helpful resources.

    ROM updated to v7.20 with the latest upstream changes. I've disabled smart charging in this version because it's not working.

    I've also prepared the build (kinda) for A12/crDroid v8, but I don't have time to try it, hopefully I can try it and release it in the next month.

    Update for crDroid 7.13 available to download.

    Happy New Year for everyone!

    Hey man this ROM has been extremely solid. A small issue here or there but nothing too bad by any means. Thank you again for building, and sharing.
    If you do decide to possibly build another ROM, I humbly suggest AICP.
    I have the latest running on my HTC One M8 and it has some really cool features!
    Don't take this as me not being grateful for this ROM though, it really is nearly perfecto.
    I just love variety and trying the different ROMs.
    The inclusion of PixelGapps and more specifically the Pixel launcher really does help to make this so close to stock but with an enormous amount of customization.
    AICP is in my plans. I want to try it out myself, we will see. :)
