[ROM] [sailfish] [9] [LOS-based] **crDroid**OMS**v5.8

[jontxo]

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!

Hello

I have created this rom using the Lineage sources and a fix from the creator of the rom of this page: http://customromz.proboards.com/thread/11/crdroidandroid-9-marlin-v5-zip?page=1&scrollTo=16. I don't have too much knowledge in how the rom is developed so perhaps I won't be able to solve all your questions.

Please let me know if you have any issue.

Regards

Always Have a full functional Backup. Just in case!

DOWNLOAD ROM
GAPPS: DOWNLOAD GAPPS

First time installing crDroid to your google pixel, or coming from another ROM:

** Make sure you're running a proper working Recovery (CWM or TWRP)
1) Install stock rom
2) Copy crDroid zip, gapps zip and twrp zip to your device
3) Boot into Recovery
4) Wipe cache, system, & data (or just cache & system for a dirty flash).
5) Flash ROM
6) Reboot into recovery
7) Flash gapps
8) Boot up
9) when the setup wizard starts execute the following command to allow it to connect to wifi
adb shell pm grant com.google.android.apps.pixelmigrate android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
10) Open the contacts and phone apps and accept the permissions requests

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

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

I might take a look at this, what have you done since the last build in the main thread?

Hello

Thanks for your answer. What your are interested in is the process I follow to compile the rom ?. I can post the script I use, that is one I have created from the crdroid sources: https://github.com/crdroidandroid/crdroid_build.

Why not post this in the Pixel Development forum? Would gain more traction there.

Oh
Well thanks for your work anyway, has this been running well for you? Might be able to try it, the old crDroid was my favorite ROM.

It is the rom that I use in my phone in a daily basis and I haven't found any issue yet.

Are anyone try this rom? How was the performance and battery life? Any problems?

I flashed it, all good so far.
Couple things to note, the Stock OpenGapps package said it was too big for system storage, had to move to Mini package.
When going through setup, the adb command given wasn't working until I went through setup a little bit, then came back to the beginning. Not sure exactly how to fix it but it worked eventually, and WiFi connected.
Will put it through its paces over the next couple days, thanks for the build!

I use it as a daily driver for my phone. I will update it whenever a new crdroid version is out.

Good features, like the "past" features. Your kernel has very good sleep mode, and speed stepping. Overnight battery life looking good. I haven't tried cell radio yet, this is the second pixel I use for testing first. I will try a couple of ways to get Google photos app to work Like Pie, before I commit more. Photos device file backups not working correctly, but that might be my device to device transfer process to move master work data to a newly flashed build. THANKS for your time and efforts.
Edit- yep had device transfer problem. Complete wipe / reinstall apps. Photos fine again.

I am glad everything is OK.

Everything is ok but the charging speed is quite slow. Max i got just 5.0W. Is it because the rom or the kernel i used? Currently using latest franco kernel. But on others rom it works fine. Other than that, i loved it. Thanks

How have you managed to flash franco kernel. I have this error: new image larger than host partition. Aborting...

[PapaSmurf6768]

After a few days on this I can say this is easily the best Pie ROM I've put on my phone. Features are great and no problems to report in my day to day use.
Couple notes I had; I had to flash the Mini Gapps since the Stock package said it was too large for the partition. After booting, the trick to get WiFi to work during setup didn't work immediately but did work after clicking around a bit. Then Photos was crashing on start so I deleted it as a system app and just installed it from Google Play. That works fine, and I haven't had any other apps do this.

Thanks again OP, will be on this one for a while.

I just flash it and it work like usual. Maybe something wrong when u flash the rom file. Did u clean flash it or dirty? Mine clean flash. After flashing the rom, i boot it to system. Then install gapps, magisk. Boot it again. Then franco. Work like a charm. Btw, this rom is smoother than other roms. Love the extra setting on this rom. Thanks for ur work.
