Does this support dynamic partition layout?

No, it does not use dynamic partition, which I personally don't like to use either.

 

[Yazedzeinab]

Why is it hated among devs?
And do you know any rom that support it?

If I recalled correctly, official lineage for grus does use dynamic partition.

 

[Rocky7842]

New build uploaded. Some bugs fix and translation update, from source (crDroid).

Most importantly, OTA support was introduced. From now on, we can check for updates in settings app and will receive OTA updates when there's a future release.

Thanks for the rom. No issues, all good here and work fine.

A question about installation process. That's the first Rom I flashed since 1,5years on grus.
Is it related to A13, that Roms have to be flashed using adb connection? Just flashing in TWRP as (it was) usual doesn't work anymore on that phone?

I think you can still use TWRP if you want.

Thanks for your answer. I tried first the usual way with latest TWRP and got Error 1. Then I flashed via fastboot another one TWRP version and got the same Error 1. I also read in other threads what installation way they have and it's also adb fastboot. So I thought it's probably some specific A13 stuff.

Edit: Do not use TWRP.

Screen off UDFPS does work, just remember to enable it in crDroid settings.

I'm trying this ROM right now. The level of customization is awesome. It's nice to put more than 2 buttons on the quick settings menu. Face unlock works like a charm. Fingerprint with screen off works, just need to turn on AOD.
GPS is working. Bluetooth too. Thank you @Rocky7842 for this ROM. I was on MIUI 12.5 rooted. Did a back up of all my apps and data with swift backup and restored on CRdroid and all worked fine. My gcam is MGC_8.1.101_A9_GV2b_MGC

No, you don't need AOD.
Enable long press in gesture settings and enable screen off UDFPS in crDroid settings will do the job.

The entry is kinda duplicate now. Will see how I can improve it when I'm free.

That did the job. Thank you. O could say that earlier it was not working with AOD off, but probably was something on my side.
Now it is working like you mentioned

Update: Been running for more than a week and everything works like it should. No random reboots, no SOD, no slowdowns and no bugs so far. Battery life is better than MIUI because deep sleep works like it should. On MIUI i had a bunch of wakelocks.

I enabled those and it still doesnt work for me.

After some investigation, I think you also need to enable DT2W. Please try it out.
