After all manipulations, provided in Raz0Rfail long guide, there was no luck making magisk to work (and gapps as well).
But I tried to flash magisk patched boot and vendor_boot. Got a little bootloop and phone entered into recovery and recomended to wipe everything, I made it and ROM booted nicely. Installed magisk app through adb (adb install..) to check if it presents. And it does! Then rebooted to recovery to flash MindTheGapps - successfully! But after flashing gapps and rebooting into OS needed again to reboot into recovery to wipe/factory reset. And finally all things goes right. Installed magisk app after usual android first setup. Now its good. No problems so far.
Sorry for my English. Hope it will help someone. Happy New Year and Happy Holidays!

oh yes, I got it now!
first I followed the installation guide of Raz0Rfail and than I flashed the magisk-boot image again and also the vendor-boot. after that, I sideloaded the magisk app (just rename the magisk.apk into .zip and sideload it)
than, I installed gapps again, made a factory reset and it worked for me.
also esim is working now :)

if someone also gets high battery drain, its caused by com.android.hbmsvmanager (just look at your energy manager).
you can deactivate it via cmd by using: adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.android.hbmsvmanager

All it does is pump up screen to high brightnes, so you can disable it.

Is wifi calling working for anyone? It tells me it cant activate right away without trying. It did work for me on LineageOS 20 previously but doesnt work for me on this ROM.

So far I've had 0 luck installing crDroid.
I started with a fresh factory image of the Dec. release. Booted it up and went through setup. After that I installed Magisk and patched the boot.img. I rebooted into fastboot and flashed the patched boot.img and the vendor_boot.img. Then I rebooted into recovery and used

Bash:
adb sideload <crDroidAndroid-13.0 zip file>

This command failed with:

Code:
ERROR: recovery: failed to verify whole-file signature
ERROR: recovery: Signature verification failed
ERROR: recovery: error: 21

Install from ADB completed with status 2.
Installation aborted.

And I have no idea what to do now, any and all help is appreciated..


Edit: you really need to reboot to recovery rather than selecting it from fastboot I suppose.

Due to it being 64-bit only, you would need to download the release of trichome library, Android system web view and Chrome from APK mirror and install them in the correct order and they all must be matching release numbers

Not sure what "Pixel look and feel" mean on github. Does crDroid have pixel feature like "Hold For Me" or it's purely UI. (I have a pixel 5)

I thought this ROM is official, has an maintainer and would get monthly security patches. I could understand that it would have an delay between releasing the new security patch and an ROM update.

But no, we have only 1 build from December and the February security patch is already out. No mentions of the maintainer or OP (@00p513) if and when we get a new ROM update. I like this ROM very much. But the point regarding updates is very disappointing.

If there is no information what happens with this ROM, I switch to another ROM which got frequently updates :(.

    Hello all. I am aware of the eSIM and Google Apps issues and will investigate why MindTheGapps is failing to install. As far as I can tell, the lack of eSIM is due to Google Play Services not being present, however I have been unable to get an eSIM until today.

    If I install the eSIM on the previous ROM, and then enable DSDS in the phone developer menu, it sometimes works, however this is a far from perfect solution.

    I will keep everyone posted in this forum and the support chat on Telegram (the pizza cafe)

    Hi,
    I tried this ROM and had some problems installing it to make Magisk work and also the Google Apps.
    The exact problems are in the body text of the spoiler.

    I tried this ROM on my p5 and had some trouble getting it to work with Magisk and Gapps.
    Previously I was on the Evolution ROM (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...lution-x-7-2-unbound-tp1a-221005-002.4501629/) before I made the switch to CRDOID.
    The aforementioned ROM is at the November 2022 security patch level with Android 13, and CRDROID with build date 2022-12-25 is based on the December 2022 security patch level.
    The info is important because I could not boot the patched boot.img with Magisk with the November patch level. It just got stuck at the google logo.

    After my phone was at the December level, I was able to flash the patched boot image with Magisk, as well as the vendor_boot image without the phone getting stuck in the google logo. Because if it's stuck in the google logo, you can't even boot into recovery to install the ROM.

    And the patched boot image with Magisk is needed immediately, because without it I could flash the Mind The Gapps, but after booting into the Android OS they were not findable. Only with the patched boot image were the Google Apps available in the Android OS after flashing of mind the gapps. Other Gapps variations like LiteGapps, NikGapps or BiTGApps didn't install in the first place.

    To identify that Magisk was present in the boot image, I had to manually install the Magisk app and in it I could see that the boot image was patched. As well as the Google Apps.

    In the next step, I was able to log into the Play Store, but then I got a persistent message that I was offline in the Play Store and could not use it.
    To fix this, I booted back into recovery, did a factory reset, and after booting, the Google installation setup came up, which I did, and then I could use the Play Store.

    In the next step I wanted to install Magisk modules, installed a few, like the Universal Safetynet Patch and LSPOSED via Zygisk and restarted the phone.
    After restarting, the phone ran for a minute and crashed completely. This happened until I removed all Magisk modules (disabling them also crashed the phone). As soon as a magisk module is installed and activated on reboot, the phone crashes after a minute. So far I have no idea what the problem is, so I currently have no modules installed and the phone works.
    What I noticed is that the app com.android.hbmsvmanager drains some battery even with the ROM. In the Evolution ROM I had accordingly provided a tutorial on how to disable the app to kill the battery guzzler.

    If you still want to install the ROM on your phone after reading the Wall of Text, and you are coming from another ROM, follow these steps.
    ROM Issues with this appraoch: You can't use magisk modules. If you use them the phone crashes unless you removed all of the installed modules.

    Prerequisites​

    1. Patch the boot image from the first post with magisk. Without magisk, you can install the Google Apps, but you will not be able to see them in the Android OS and thus will not be able to use them.
      If you don't want Google Apps or magisk, you can skip this step.
      In short, install the Magisk App, copy the file boot.img on your phone via usb cable. In magisk click on install, select a file -> choose the boot.img. Afterwards copy the patched magisk image from your Downloads Folder to your PC.
    2. Check your Android security patch status in the current ROM. It is necessary that you have the same patch level as the current build version of CRDROID (Build 2022-12-25 = December 2022 Security Patch).
      To do this, open the Settings app. Under Phone -> Android Version -> Security Patch Level.
      So when there are future ROM updates from CRDROID, make sure you patch your device to the same security level (easiest to install the Google Factory Image for the patch level) and then install the CRDROID ROM.
      If you don't want to use magisk or Google Apps you can skip this step.
    3. Backup your data from the phone (if you have root, use Swift Backup to backup all app data). The best way is to copy your data to your PC.
      Backup all folders and files in the first step, but leave out the Android folder for now, as the copy process will be interrupted when copying the Android folder. Then, in the backup directory, create the Android folder and the data, media and obb folders inside it.
      You should be able to copy the media and obb folders to your PC without any problems. For the data folder, I recommend skipping any folders that contain android or google as these are the problematic folders. You can then backup these folders once you have backed up the rest. For the problematic folders, I would recommend ignoring them, but if you still need them, copy them over one by one."
      If you don't have a backup and want to start from scratch, you can skip this step. But you will lose all your data if you haven't backed it up to a cloud service or somewhere else, so be warned.
    4. If the device is based on the security level like CRDROID or you don't need magisk and Google Apps, you can skip this step.
      If your device is not based on the security level of the CRDROID version, you will have to update your phone to that version first.
      Download the Google Stock ROM, based on the security state:
      13.0.0 (TQ1A.221205.011, Dec 2022) for CRDROID Build 2022-12-25.
      Download the current adb tools for your PC OS:
      Extract the downloaded Factory image zip file. Copy all the adb tools files for your OS inside the extracted folder.
      Boot your phone into fastboot. Reboot your phone and then hold power + volume down while the phone reboots. Connect your phone to your PC while it is in fastboot mode.
      Execute the flash-all.bat / flash-all.sh (regarding your PC OS). With this the entire phone gets updated to the needed security patch and all your data on the phone got wiped.

    Installation​

    After all the prerequisites are done, we come to the ROM installation.
    1. Download all the files from the first post [(if you don't already have them) vendor_boot image, Rom zip file and mind the gapps for Android 13 in arm64]. Move them all to the folder where the adb files are already located.
    2. Move the patched magisk boot image to this folder
    3. Reboot your phone to fastboot mode, connect your phone to your pc while it is in fastboot mode.
    4. execute the following commands
      Bash:
      fastboot flash boot <magisk_boot image name> --slot all
      fastboot flash vendor_boot vendor_boot.img --slot all
    5. After both files got installed on your phone navigate the fastboot menu with the volume keys to the point recovery and click the power button to navigate into it.
    6. In recovery mode go to "factory reset" -> "Format data/factory reset" after the click the entire phone data got wiped.
    7. In recovery mode go to Apply Update -> "Apply from ADB"
    8. On your PC execute the following Commands:
      Bash:
      adb sideload <crDroidAndroid-13.0 zip file>
    9. After an succesfully ROM installation reboot the phone into ANDROID OS.
    10. Go trough the First setup and skip most of the parts.
    11. Reboot your phone again into recovery mode. You can hold the power button -> Restart -> Recovery to go into it.
    12. In Recovery mode go to Apply Update -> "Apply from ADB"
    13. Connect your phone to your PC and execute the command:
      Bash:
      adb sideload <MindTheGapps-13.0.0-arm64 zip file>
    14. Afterwards reboot phone again into Android OS and validate that the play Store Icon is available and reboot again into recovery mode. if not install the magisk app https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/ and check if magisk is installed. if it is installed on your phone and the mind the gapps installation was successfull, I don't know why it didn't worked.
    15. Inside the recovery mode go to factory reset and execute again an data Format
    16. Afterwards restart phone again and now you should be able to execute the google install setup. Go trough all steps.
    17. Afterwards install the magisk app and validate that it is installed and check if the play store is working.

    After the Installation​

    Copy your backupped files from your PC and reinstall all the needed apps or use swift backup (when you have an swift backup backup) to restore all the needed apps.
    You can try to install magisk modules and hope that your phone won't crash after you rebooted it.

    I need to use root and the modules tho. You think this related to 64 bit only ?
    I think I found the reason why my phone crashed after installing Magisk modules.
    I installed the "Magisk bootloop protector" module and installed it directly into the boot image. After re-flashing the patched boot image with Magisk and installing all the other modules I used before and skipping the bootloop protector module, the phone has not crashed in the last few hours.
    I also installed 5 lsposed modules and so far the phone works without crashing.

    I have tested it out after I wrote the long wall of text at 03:39 am.
