there's face unlock. Magisk works fine. Some banking system reject to work when they detect rooted devices. It's not a ROM problem, but rather of Magisk itself which cannot hide itself.

I found an annoying bug..
My Mic is not working for recording Video. And Cannot upload a video to whatsapp status because of it.
Sometimes it is working but my voice is on the speaker too..
And i cannot control the call volume when using earphone.

can't reproduce the mic problem, works fine anywhere and always worked.
Controlling call volume is an old issue affecting all ROMs from my experience. I tried to do something on my side and was only able to adjust the sound when using the speaker.

Hi,
thank you for your work!

Telekom Germany VoLTE isn't working, the option is activated. What can I do?

VoLTE is enabled for all carriers, but the carrier itself should support it, this is rare.

 

[djjoha]

With the original Firmware it worked! I had to diable carrier check with a code.

 

[raadman]

its good

I'm facing issue here.
While flashing ROM version 8.7 (android version 12, security patch 2022-07-05, build date sun aug 7 00:34:54 CEST 2022), while Running OTA_BAK process, it says not enough free space for creating the OTA survival. Process OTA_BAK failed. Flashing nikgapps(basic) was ok. After reboot, it goes to the first boot. I see the CrDroid eye logo and that's it. I've been waiting for 20 minutes and the eye logo is still there. What can I do?

Update1: Realized I forgot to format data. After format, the OTA_BAK process can proceed. Now booting (at the eye logo). Finally at Welcome to crDroid screen. Yay!

Update2: The google phone dialer is broken. When I make a phone call, pressing the red hang up button doesn't work.

Update3: The charging statistics in the locksreen seems broken. 1mA doesn't seem right. (refer photo).

Is it possible to install the original miui camera app on this? Or this there any better camera? I came here and I don't know which to choose.

1. OTA requires ~3GB on data for backup in case something goes wrong on next OTA update. You can take the risk and disable it within recovery or backup manually before OTA update.
2. Google Phone always worked fine for me.
3. Charging stats are right, we don't have Battery Management System (BMS) that reports power infos, only battery stats, indeed you can see battery voltage and temperature that are correct. You can hide this infos somewhere in crDroid settings.
4. MIui camera is proprietary and will work only on miui rom.

CrDroid 8.7 Build 2022-08-12 Feedback:
1. Couldn't save screenshot issue. Done all the solutions I know, wipe of Dalvik / ART Cache, wipe Internal Storage and Factory Reset. But the problem still persist.
2. Pre-installed Browser app crashing/forced closed when downloading any kinds or types of files.

Ps. Kindly please provide a fix for that issues, though I know those are minor issues only and very normal for a Beta custom rom, but it's still best for it to be fix right.

Thank you
But i don't find the gapps fo android 12!!

Does Mi Sound work here? Previously, I have confirmed that old libdirac.so does not work on Android 12 and above. If this is working then anyone please tell me.

Working perfectly fine on latest cr8.8 and no errors at all in logs.

 

[reiryuki]

Working perfectly fine on latest cr8.8 and no errors at all in logs.

No errors also in Ancient OS A12 but no difference at all between turning on/off nor changing profiles.
Do you hear any differences at audio while turning on/off and changing profiles of the mi sound?

 

[MaxisMan]

ROM is very stable. Is there a way to disable advanced reboot settings from showing up in the lock screen?

EDIT: There are some hangs/crashes (probably due to regular GApps being too heavy for the phone) here and there but it's manageable. Can confirm the Pixel XL spoof works for unlimited Google Photos backups.

Edit 2: Latest update + reflashing with GApps Go fixed most of the performance issues.
