Development [ROM][13.0] crDroid 9 [OFFICIAL]

[RanjanJain]

get the fastboot version of your choice here: https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/sweet/
extract the fastboot archive (.tar.gz -> .gz -> extracted files) to some temp dir.
install mi flash tool, make sure you have an adb driver installed that recognizes the phone, mi flash tool can install them from the menu, or you can install them manually from the mi flash tool subdir. it's just so the computer and mi flash detects your phone for fastboot.
mi flash tool is a kinky app it might nag at startup for a missing "log" or "logs" dir in it's program folder. if it does so, create such folder.

after all that, select the fastboot rom from the previous extraction dir (flash_all.bat should be there). be careful at the bottom right: select clean all, not clean and lock. otherwise it gets locked again. then flash, it takes a while and it will maybe show you an error but it's normal if you deselect "lock".

Or you can simply run one of those Batch file (according to your need) directly once you connect your phone to PC in Fastboot mode. I use this method only.

Thanks you two, will follow that instructions. Have a good day.

the new version of crdroid 9.3 fixes the bug with the non-functional touchscreen for the new revision of the phones with fts_ts touchscreen?

 

[mase76]

No more freezes so far. But the camera still does not work with this kernel.

 

[Zirila]

ah finally an update. installed and lets see whats been fixed so far.

Audio is not working.

I have again problems with apps using the AAudio driver. I get no audio in games that use AAudio driver (instead of OpenSL ES).

could someone test and verify if this works?

Spoiler: test audio how-to

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobileer.oboetester

Pick the first option Test Output, then use these settings to match what the emulators use:

API: AAudio
SRate: 48000
Channels: 2
Format: PCM_FLOAT
Perf: LOW_LATENCY

Leave everything else on defaults, then select Open -> Start, and check if you hear a a sine wave tone.

I get an error when trying to play and there is no sound. games that do offer OpenSL ES as audio driver are working with sound. but not all do.

this has been working with the Version of: crDroidAndroid-13.0-20230223-sweet-v9.2.zip

How did you flashed MIUI 14 firmware. Which file to download?

Latest firmware for global rom is MIUI 14

Thanks for the heads up, I'll attemt to dirty flash over the weekend, see how it behaves.

EDIT: Just did the OTA update. Camera is acting up again (Freezes, random artifacts, etc.). Flashing sleepy kernel solved the issue for me.

 

[mase76]

Is v13.0.16.0 still the firmware to use?

 

[Zirila]

After 1 day installed I had 2 "system" freezes which required a reboot. something might still be buggy.

camera is working on my rn10pro model (the rn10pro models have slightly differing hardware including cameras, so it's not a surprise some cameras might be working while others don't, they'd all need to be cared of by the developer to make them all work without problems.)

Is v13.0.16.0 still the firmware to use?

the official changelog still says:

Required firmware: MIUI (Global) V13.0.16.0.SKFMIXM (for all regions)

so I guess you're still good to go with that version.

 

[mase76]

I also got some freezes, but less than with the last build. The older kernel does not boot this build.

 

[Mat-Sar]

For me it's the opposite, I've got more freeze since the 9.3 update. Which kernel are you guys on?

The shipped one.

 

[lukaszkosyna]

Before the last update I had no freezes or crashes at all. After 1 day with new build, my phone crashed once today. Reboot and all good, but a bit worrying this problem

 

[Zirila]

yeah latest version seems to be unstable.. i already had 5 freezes since yesterday and counting. but beside the audio issue, everything else seems to be fine, like reddish colors gone, camera working (for me and my model), battery time is good..

I wouldn't recommend current version for stable use as a daily driver, though.
the last version that was very stable for me, was: crDroidAndroid-13.0-20230223-sweet-v9.2.zip.

Yep. And that is for A12, not 13. Wacky!

5th April, 2023
Required firmware: MIUI (Global) V13.0.16.0.SKFMIXM (for all regions)

There is an updated one for A13, but they ignore it: (fw_sweet_miui_SWEETGlobal_V14.0.1.0.TKFMIXM_dd214aa68d_13.0)

 

[fabyk]

With 9.3 crashes are back like @lukaszkosyna lukaszkos said. Seems to be connected with deep sleep. Will try same cure with changing boot.img to an older version. Would not recom mmend to update to 9.3 yet

 

[tatouss]

Hi !

Does anyone have a problem with recent tabs?
It doesn't show me any apps running with 9.3 rom. (no bug with 9.2)

 

[juanchotazo99]

New build out today (crDroidAndroid-13.0-20230408-sweet-v9.3) and some good news!

My cameras are working again with the included kernel, reddish screen tint is gone, all seems to be back to normal as it was on the February build.

Will update if I find anything weird, but good so far.

Thank you @neobuddy89 !!

 

[Synt4x3rror]

Just did the OTA update (april 18 build), much like @juanchotazo99 said, everything seems to be working as expected. No issues with camera

Edit: I've had issues while attenpting to use night mode using the selfie camera. App force closes when taking the picture.

As for random freezes, I've experienced some. Both times I was attempting to unlock the phone using fingerprint WHiLE I was receiving a notification.

 

[Zirila]

another day with the update, and it seems it's settled down at about 3-5 crashes and freezes a day. the update worsened the crashes on my side at least.

also the lack of audio driver prevents Viper4Android to work with this release (and previous release). february release worked with Viper4Android, however.

it's quite a few things to sort out.. hope it gets the love needed.

 

[mase76]

The camera is ok again. But the crashes became worse.
