DOWNLOAD OFFICIAL BUILDS

DOWNLOAD GAPPS

First time installing crDroid to your J7 2016, or coming from another ROM:

** Make sure you're running a proper working Recovery (TWRP)
1) Copy crDroid zip, gapps zip to your device
2) Boot into Recovery
3) Wipe cache, system, & data (or just cache & system for a dirty flash).
4) Flash ROM
8) Flash gapps
9) Boot up

For root, AFTER you boot into the ROM, you can go back to recovery and install Magisk XX.x (whatever is most recent).

Upgrading from earlier version of crDroid:
The only difference between clean flash as above and upgrading is you just wipe system & cache, leaving data. Everything else is the same. ***Remember to always clean flash before reporting problems. Clean flashing is always the best method of ROM install.

KNOWN ISSUES
You tell me


Don't expect any support if you:
- are not running the included kernel
- have installed any mods such as Xposed!
- have modified system files

Thanks to:

- Google
- LineageOS
- SlimRoms
- AOSPA (Paranoid Android)
- OmniRom
- NamelessROM
- Many others... (if you're feeling upset being out of the thanks list just send a PM )

Volte supported?

Volte supported?

No roms besides stock stupport volte.

As first impression rom looks really good with a lot of customization options, only bugs I see are checking settings for call waiting and call forwarding(where phone disconnects from carrier) but I believe those are from source code since I have seen that on almost all roms with 8.1. Other then that really great job and thank you for your hard work.

ask, if I do not have the latest installed nougat firmware, do not boot the rom, no? but if bootea is because I have the latest firmware?

Latest is not must. It is written in order to prevent any consequences. But Nougat firmware is must.

 

[argenmu09]

Latest is not must. It is written in order to prevent any consequences. But Nougat firmware is must.

Oh ok, that if I have it before installing roms custom, ask if you have to install this fix: mic gain fix aosp or not? Does the parallel application work fine? because when I duplicate the app as clash royale does not load the part to put google account, and last question is working the part to play from the sd card with the folder mount app or not? or another method that works to play from the SD

what if i came from LOS15.1, consider it is 8.x ,should i downgrade to 7.x first, or i can do wipe and fresh install without downgrading?

Just wipe and fresh install.

Yes. Install the mic gain fix. I don't know about third party apps, sorry. But for saving obb to sd card, use Xposed module Obb on SD.

Is this rom much better than the cosmic os v3.1? less Bugs? More features? Also, does this rom have the april 1 security patch like the cosmic os rom update?

All ROMs are better in their own way. Bugs are same. Its not been updated to April Security Patch.

Hello is new build has any new improvement? is the microphone fix coming? Can you play by sd with the folder mount? Did you fix the problem with parallel? Is it compatible for dual installation?

Haven't posted any new build. Will update after source gets updated with April Security Patch and mic fixed.

In my opinion, the best ROM 8.1 so far. CosmicOS is also excellent.
The only detail that keeps me from using it all the time is the fact that Android Auto does not work on Roms 8.1. But I think it's not ROM's problem but Android's own Auto.
If anyone can use it, please tell me.
