First time installing crDroid to your Mi Max 3, or coming from another ROM:

** Make sure you're running the latest TWRP Recovery
1) Copy crDroid zip, Firmware zip, gapps zip
2) Boot into Recovery
3) Wipe cache, system, & data (or just cache & system for a dirty flash).
4) Flash Firmware
5) Flash ROM
6) Flash gapps
7) 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
- The FM radio app can't output to speaker (yet)
- 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 )

Best ROM for MiMax3 for me so far...thx a lot!!!

So I've been using Xiaomi.eu since buying the Mi Max 3... Is it worth the hassle installing the stable rom and then over to crDroid?

Are their any negatives with crDroid when compared to Xiaomi.eu?

Only thing you need if you're on xiaomi.eu is wiping, flashing firmware then the ROM and gapps if needed. I recommend you to use orangefox for the process.

In my opinion (from someone who hates miui) there's no negatives aspects. You'll got miui camera thanks to BlackSeraph work. Battery backup is almost the same. But if you don't like it you still can do the same in other way for returning to xiaomi.eu.

The question is do you need something on miui ? Everything else and even more is also on crdroid.

Thanks man, you make it sound easy and worthwhile to check it out, at least.

I've been using orangefox for a bit and have been using it for the weekly xiaomi.eu builds.

With the wiping, which options do I choose?
Flashing the firmware, would this be the latest release?

Then what about each crDroid release, do I just wipe Caches & Delvic Cache prior to flashing and after crDroid flash?

Everything is written in the OP for installations steps. BlackSeraph does not need to update the firmware yet.

Next update will be by BlackSeraph (the main dev) and will include OTA. so yes next will be flashable and wipe dalvik and cache .. and then will be directly inside OTA app.

I started downloading all files but might wait for OTA before jumping off xiaomi.eu.
Good to know it's coming and will make life easier for any updates.

Why? OTA is only a bit easier for updates...I would change as soon as possible...crDroid is so much better then MIUI!!! Next update with ota flash over last version...ready!

Probably just thinking along the lines of.. no issues ever with Xiaomi.eu, regular weekly builds updated easily and latest Pie features..

The other point, after flashing my old Mi Max 2, it's call performance was never the same after flashing away from stock, with echo issues etc.

Just one more question, how is battery Performance of crDroid and do I need to flash any other kernels for better battery life?

There are no bugs like echo in calls etc. You don't have to flash extra kernel, all working perfect. Battery is as good as MIUI, for me and my apps better than MIUI! The most important thing for me to change to this ROM was my privacy!!! Read about MIUI-daemon etc....

Will give this a try next

 

[GEoMaNTiK]

Still haven't pulled the trigger.. but wanting to.

Okay, so the main page says wipe cache, system and data..

Are there any problems wiping the internal storage, to clean up any old rogue files and folders from previous xiaomi.eu and program installs?

Format data instead leave system alone.

Format data instead leave system alone.

But first time installing crDroid, coming from a different ROM, the instructions are to wipe data and system .. is this not ok?

Did you mean don't touch internal storage?

I meant dont need wipe internal storage yes data and system is fine as stated

Flashed this now and its pretty good. Using it for a few hours now and its solid.. Havoc has a bit custom options but I like this
