try to flash FULL gapps

 

[toscha42]

Flashed without DFE, will try PE Recovery if there is no new TRWP update until next Update.

Which recovery did you use then when it wasn't PE recovery? And may I assume that your device was not encrypted before when flashing without DFE succeeded?

Cheers
Toscha

first flash with TWRP, will try PE recovery for the first update.

aa is working fine with aawireless for me.
Check the gnickapps addons and flash the aa addon additionally to the version (minmal,basic or whatever) you prefer.

[Deprecated] Universal DM-Verity, ForceEncrypt, Disk Quota Disabler [11/2/2020]

Hi all! For the past couple of months, I've been looking into making a more universal solution to disable dm-verity and forceencrypt. Needing to take different zips, modify them for different devices, and then cross your fingers when you switch...

Nice version!
So, it's mandatory to remove encryption in order to update properly.
Will it be always this way?

After the first update was released:
Reboot into bootloader and flashed PE recovery, boot into crdroid again and updated normaly with updater.
