Does anyone know what's the difference between Evolution and crDroid?

Evolution has slightly less features than crDroid. Evo is AOSP-based (crDroid is LOS-based). Both ROMs feel equally smooth and fast, but if I were to pick one I'd choose crDroid.

Omar's crDroid builds include the volte/vowifi fix, too. Since crDroid is based on LOS you also some useful features, such as wifi/mobile network control, USB control, etc.
The only thing I miss from Evo are lockscreen clock fonts, but that's it.

From the OP:
...First time installation:

Only for Official builds moving forward!!!!
  1. Flash May Firmware from Web Flash Tool
  2. Reboot to Fastboot
  3. Unlock bootloader
  4. Go thru first boot
  5. reboot to bootloader
  6. in cmd enter fastboot set_active other
  7. repeat step 1
  8. Reboot to Fastboot
  9. fastboot flash vendor_boot vendor_boot.img in fastboot (located here)
  10. Reboot to Recovery
  11. Select adb update
  12. Open cmd and type adb sideload rom_name.zip
  13. DO NOT FLASH GAPPS, THEY ARE INCLUDED...

@omariscal1019, can't they adb sideload magisk to root?

Using these steps, after step 12 in the First time Installation Instructions:

Note: Download the Magisk....apk. (Alpha/Beta/Canary/Stable) file you want to root crDroid with and rename it Magisk....zip.
  1. Reboot to Recovery
    • Tap the Back arrow ==> tap, Advanced ==> tap Reboot recovery.
  2. Sideload Magisk....zip:
    • On the device (phone), select “Apply Update”, then “Apply from ADB” to begin sideload.
    • On the host machine (Computer), sideload the package using:
      adb sideload (name of magisk...zip file)
    • When Magisk finishes installing, tap the Back arrow ==> tap, Reboot system

@Homeboy76 Recovery is broken on this ROM and flashing Magisk fails. It always says there is an error with the sideload zip.

Despite there being support for flashing unsigned zips from recovery on user builds, it still fails.

Nonetheless, even manually signing Magisk using SignApk yields the same error as mentioned above.

The setting is present under Lock screen settings, within crDroid Settings.

@halfbytecode, @omariscal1019
What "error as mentioned above..."? I don't see anything about the recovery being broken in the OP or in the last two pages.

Are you saying the vendor_boot.img that you sideload crDroid with is broken?

Does it show a screen that reads: Signature verification failed when you try to sideload Magisk?

What happens if you press continue?

I meant when we sideload Magisk on this ROM, the recovery throws an error saying the sideload zip file is corrupt/erroneous. Something is broken in the recovery shipped with this ROM, as sideloading Magisk works fine on other ROMs.

It does not show any signature verification issues, as the recovery with the ROM supports bypassing signature verification (even on user builds).

@omariscal1019 Keyboard navigation (the little down arrow underneath) also gets hidden if navigation hint is disabled. Some ROMs like Evolution-X have fixed it on recent builds, where keyboard navigation is visible even with navigation hint disabled.

Adding left/right cursor arrows to the keyboard navigation would be icing on the cake. Evolution-X seems to have added this to their GitHub repo.
