crDroid is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device also attempting to bringing many of the best features existent today. We're mainly based on LineageOS so use custom kernels compatible with them!


Features​

Instructions :
  • First of all you need to flash this twrp (I recommend) if not this you can also use other available twrp's.
  • Flash vbmeta by fastboot (fastboot --disable-verity flash vbmeta vbmeta.img) [click on vbmeta to download]
  • Boot into twrp and Format data and wipe system/data/cache/dalvik.
  • Flash the rom zip
  • After installing the rom , flash the gapps i am going to add into the downloads section.
  • If you want to root, flash Magisk
  • Reboot to System.

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 :
  • FM RADIO

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

does format data means internal storage and yes then why do we need to format internal storage to flash a custom rom after we have already decrypted data ?
yes, it will erase entire internal storage. You should do this everytime you are flashing new rom. "Dirty flash is only for incremental updates"...

only data and system wipe would mean a clean flash; wouldn't it, coz thats all I needed to do in previous phones or is it necessary in phones with treble ? or it is just recommended ?

Basically, its only recommended. But if you wont wipe internal storage, you may encounter bugs and you are on your own about fixing them.
