[ROM][12.1][OFFICIAL][CEPHEUS] crDroid v8.16 [25.08.2023][EOL]

[Jakob18]

Never had a problem with updates, I download the rom, install and flash the DFE. If you update via ota, you have to flash the DFE later.

DFE it's not needed anymore, just use PE recovery.
But now to change it will need to be installed again and factory reset.

I installed the rom rom in adb sideload, it works well, apart from the battery problem, it doesn't last a day, I really like this rom, but as long as the battery problem is not solved, I will continue on the stock rom.

Hi Everyone,

i just installed this on my Mi 9 after suffering through years of MIUI. I must say, it’s a great experience really, and with PE Recovery OTA works great.

However, i do have one problem: A game I play (https://play.google.com/store/apps/...organic&utm_term=idolmaster+million+live+play) just doesn’t start. It crashes with the following exception in logcat:

I installed using:

• flash PE 12.1-20220527-1357 recovery
• wipe/format: data, cache, system
• sideload crDroidAndroid-12.1-20220816-cepheus-v8.8.zip
• sideload NikGapps-core-arm64-12-20220421-signed.zip
• boot, install, etc

Does anyone have an idea what’s going on here? Is there something missing (or broken) with the gapps?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank & Best Regards,
-NebuK

I had a lot of issues with the gapps v12, maybe try the correct 12.1 (Releases/NikGapps-SL). See https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-12-1-official-cepheus-crdroid-v8-8-20-08-2022.4389641/post-87281243

This maybe should be made clearer in the announcements.

 

[Jakob18]

This time I update it with OTA and worked perfectly.
Note: O don't use DFE

 

[Dinky121/]

I'm going to install this rom again because I really like it, apart from the battery, I hope it's better in that aspect, it has a lot of customization.

 

[Reksho]

@raystef66 Found a bug: edge long swipe to split screen doesn't work unfortunately.

 

[Raeigis]

Coming from the EvolutionX ro and must says, for the moment, my experience is better with CrDroid. The only thing I miss a lot is the double tap to wake the screen (or I didn't find the settings...). But pretty smooth and stable after few days on it

Settings --> Display --> fourth from last

 

[Dinky121/]

I installed this rom again, I still have battery problems (maybe it's just my problem), I really like this rom, but I can't be charging my phone almost twice a day, I use my phone for Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, Wattsapp, and listen to music, I don't play, maybe if I try another kernel that is compatible with this rom, maybe the Dev. can you point me to some,thanks,good work.
