Features:
https://github.com/crdroidandroid/crdroid_features/blob/13.0/README.mkdn

Flashing Instructions:
Pre-installation:

• OOS 12 H.38 firmware is mandatory (can update via firmware update tool found on download page, firmware button)
• Download recovery (from download page, recovery button)
• Optional NikGapps Elite Gwolf2u (from download page, gapps button)
• Optional Magisk (boot.img used to patch with Magisk in order to get root, can be found in recovery folder from download page)

First time installation (clean flash):

• Backup your data to PC, OTG flash drive
• Make sure you have OOS 12 firmware installed (if used firmware flash tool from download page, proceed straight to install crDroid.zip)
• Enter fastboot
• Flash our boot.img in fastboot

• fastboot flash boot boot.img

• Boot to recovery (can do from bootloader or with buttons from power off state)
• Now in recovery go to factory reset and confirm the reset
• Reboot to recovery
• Choose apply update and Apply from ADB
• Now install crDroid zip via sideload

• adb sideload crDroid.zip

• Go back to main menu and reboot to recovery to install gapps (if you don't want gapps, reboot to system)
• To install gapps, simply reboot to recovery again and sideload gapps.zip the same way you installed crDroid.zip then reboot to system

Update installation:
Via recovery (recommended way):

• Boot to recovery
• Choose apply update and Apply from ADB
• Now install crDroid zip via sideload and reboot

• adb sideload crDroid.zip

• If you had gapps, reboot to recovery and sideload gapps.zip and reboot

Via OTA:

• Go to Settings -> System -> Updater and download latest build
• Choose install and let it finish
• If you have Magisk installed, don't click reboot when prompted and go to Magisk and choose install to inactive slot
• Reboot

Note: In some cases where incompatible gapps used, may result in boot issues that should get fixed by flashing gapps again in recovery.

@gwolfu Thanks for the first 13 build.

Is EROFS planned in the future? just curious.

not really
last I tried, had issues with gapps with it

For those not willing to go through the hassle to install OOS 12 on both slots just to update firmware before installing crDroid, I've made a "firmware flash tool" available on download page
Just boot to bootloader and run Update-firmware.sh (linux) or Update-firmware.bat (windows)

 

[SLAlmeida]

Can I upgrade to firmware 12 directly over OOS 9? Or do I need to upgrade over firmware 11?

Solved

Hello Dev, thanks for a new support for android 13. To be root through magisk, is it done as in crdroid v8? that is, is the boot patched with magisk and flashed with fastboot?

Wow that is awesome I was going to ask for clarification on that (if OOS 12 beta was indeed required or if it was a typo). And it seems it really is required but you made it super easy instead of needing to flash the full OOS 12.

MUCH thanks and appreciation for bringing us CRDROID 13 along with an easy to use flash tool for OOS 12 firmware. Been waiting for A13 of crdroid, crdroid being the best with features and stability. + a great dev to boot

 

[Epic028]

Are you talking about the OOS12 H.31 gloabal beta? Either way, the firmware tool does the job and makes it easy.
Also, will features like smart pixels eventually be on A13 like in A12? nvm seems like all features are still here after dirty flash and firmware change. Switched to big fingerprint now, but it's miscentered like in the pic.

 

[theslam08]

Well flashed the firmware update and the new build, everything went smooth. Nice!

I have a few bullet points:

--After flashing the firmware tool, the stupid "warning" that the bootloader is unlocked is now gone that is awesome. I've wanted that gone since I unlocked but I read it's dangerous to mess with...so I did not plan on that happening but love it
--Seems all crDroid settings from A12 are here and maybe a few extra. Sweet! I was thinking there may be a few things missing because it's a new base but nope, think it's all here.
--The "taskbar" for the crDroid launcher? Super amazing! Not sure if that was there on the previous A12 builds? I've been on Nova Launcher for years now so I'm not sure if this is new to the A13 build. But I absolutely love the taskbar idea (everything still works the same, swipe up for home, swipe up far for recents and drag left-right on taskbar for previous app). I'll attach a pic for those wondering incase it's new.
--Speaking of the launcher, is there any topic/place where we can talk about it? Request features, ask things? Like I'd like to request being able to hide drawer icons/apps and be able to put them into folders (in the app drawer). Also any way to back it up? Like the settings and placement of icons? Using nova and having a backup/restore makes it easy to clean flash ROMs and be right back to normal after. But I think I'd like to stick to crDroid launcher because of this taskbar feature - it's so handy!
--I notice the "Smooth Display" (going from 60Hz to 90Hz) works properly in this ROM. That is nice for people that want to save battery (if you don't want that half second delay from the change-over, in dev-tools it can be still forced to 90Hz all the time).
--Not a big deal but I think I notice the status bar icons very high up, almost touching the top bezel. The OCD in me says arrgg lol. WHY does google mess with the dang paddings on these things...

Those are the few things I've noticed so far. A very nice "initial" release! Seems really smooth too! Thanks again @gwolfu

 

[SLAlmeida]

I am having problems with the back gestures on the screen, anyone else having this problem?

 

[Toutatis_]

Will wait for feedback regarding the Qualcomm crash dump issue many users and I had on v8 before flashing. Hopefully it's gone for good...

That is not ROM related. That is firmware related.

I only had that happen to me once in the past 6 months (and I've tried every ROM possible during that time), I updated my firmware and never had it again on any ROM. So, updating the firmware here (to OOS 12 as instructed) you should be good to go.

If you still don't want to take the chance, I'd recommend sticking with stock OOS for full stability. These ROMs are basically always beta as it's cutting-edge and you'd have to deal with bugs/testing.

Like swiping back? Nope all working good here. I've had no bugs yet. Except 'maybe' slight lag in a game while auto brightness was on (I turned it off and there is now 0 lag).

That is not ROM related. That is firmware related.

I've always flashed latest OOS version available to both slot prior to flashing any crDroid v8 build, but always had the Qualcomm dump crash at some point regardless.

I only had that happen to me once in the past 6 months (and I've tried every ROM possible during that time)

I used quite a lot of A12 ROMs too (YAAP, KOSP, Bliss, PixelExperience, Project Elixir, EvolutionX, DerpFest) and only had this issue with crDroid.

So, updating the firmware here (to OOS 12 as instructed) you should be good to go.

Hopefully, I'll try v9 eventually and see how it goes.

keeps "waiting for devices" at fastbootd mode, doesn't detect my device
Whatever it did prior to this stage killed the system and now I have to msm back to oos11 manually...

Yes, but when I enable the bottom navigation bar in in the crDroid settings, it works again.
I just can't use the on-screen gestures without enabling the navigation bar, and one thing has nothing to do with another.

 

[vsyakii]

does this rom have a problem with screen wake up/fod with ambient display on? or is that stable on this one
also, anyone who used evolution x (a13), how does the battery life compare?

Hm yeah I'm not sure then. Something weird going on there - I've personally never had any crash dumps on this ROM (it was on FlamingoOS) and rarely see anyone say they're having crash dumps on it either. The few times I have, they were told to update the firmware which they supposedly did and didn't have any problems after.

Your best bet if possible would be to get a log of it when it happens: https://pastebin.com/GGaRZ2nJ
