Very nice ROM! Does official mean it will get OTA updates?

Hello, first of all thank you for you work. I have installed crDroid 7.10 (2021-09-12) on my note 9. It works very well I have only an issue with the camera. After the installation no camera app was installed. I have tried different g cam apps from (https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/) but i haven't found an app with working video und camera.
Which camera app should I use or what would be the default camera app?

[TheOneJay]

Does it work on note 9 global version?

 

[djMesias]

Does it work on note 9 global version?

Yes, no problem. Flash latest global firmware, then flash shrp recovery and follow OP guide.
I'm on V12.5.2.0.RJOMIXM.

 

[athenason]

Will this be getting android 12 upgrade?

 

[Osornio98]

if I have Pixel Experience and TWRP, can I switch to CRDroid with this?

yes, format data (you should have to type yes to confirm), then wipe davlik art and cache. Then flash firmware zip, flash crdroid and flash gapps(if you want them-link is in OP's instructions).

Does anyone knows why I can't have Volte or vowifi even though it is enabled? I used to have one when I am still on Stock Firmware.

I am unable to activate google assistant. When I try to enable "hey google" it says this feature is currently unavailable on this device.

Hey google requires hotword blobs, so if they are not included in the rom then it will not work

New Hotword blobs on Android 11 · Issue #19 · ShivamKumarJha/android_tools

Hotword functionality requires the following files on Android 11 system_ext/etc/permissions/com.android.hotwordenrollment.common.util.xml system_ext/framework/com.android.hotwordenrollment.common.u...

did you flash the latest MIUI firmware? you can find it here https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-4g-redmi-note-9-merlin-auto-updated.4250261/

If I was you I would full format the device (you should have to type yes), then flash the firmware zip, then flash crdroid
