Always Have a full functional Backup. Just in case!

DOWNLOAD:
ROM -Google Drive
ROM -Mega
TWRP
GAPPS

First time installing crDroid to your Sony Xperia XA2, or coming from another ROM:

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

I hope what created is right topic =)
For dual sim - u should have the stock rom is 1'st installed, there both sim are working. Coz cRDr rom have no "sony modem switcher" & modem configs. Use the stock rom for switch & configure modem.
Before install gapps or twrp or something else(magisk for example) from twrp-zip u have to reboot in twrp again after install rom. It needs for A/B slot switching.
Great thanks LuK1337 for his hard working at LOS! :good:

Hey - tried to give this rom a go tonight, but the rom download link is dead.

Hey, I just got back into rooting phones again (after a few years back last time when I rooted my Sony Xperia Z2), can you or anyone give me an easy to follow instructions on how to install this custom rom or any other rom? (I'm still confused about A/B slots thingy, and also like does it reboot automatically after flashing zip file even though I know that you can go "back" to flash another zip file? or maybe I just wrong about this.)

I don't know, I'm afraid of getting risk bricking my phone without following instructions...

 

[cojocar.andrei]

Any update? Is the development for this ROM abandoned?

 

[poloniumon]

hey, im having a problem, the phone boots normaly. except in the google setup screen where you select a language, when i select one it freezes on just a sec..

 

[cojocar.andrei]

Will there be an update for this rom or is it abandonned? It looks pretty good for a 6 months old rom. Thanks!

 

[SGS3_0]

Thanks, I've built my own crDroid 5.7 image after all and it works without a glich, no more bugs... I want to bring some improvements to the kernel and after that I'll bring up my own thread. Thanks!

Hi!
Any particular reason wht this rom replaces TWRP with LineageOS recovery? For some reason the Lineage does not want to install gapps for me.. ?

U can boot from official TWRP image and install TWRP.zip verssions 3.2.1 or 3.2.2 It's replace LOS recovery to TWRP.

Thanks! I prefer TWRP, and now i got it.
BIG THANKS for this ROM. It really fits this phone much better than stock. And the only thing i cannot get past is the google pay.. tried different things, but it didn't work. No biggie though

"Magisk Hide" helps me for Gpay... coz I use Magisk for root.
