Just to let you know all, this wasn't my first OTA update. Previous just worked fine and there's nothing noticeable changed on my phone since the last OTA so I don't understand what went wrong this time... I've just added a locking pattern to access my phone, I don't know if it matters...

Hello, OTA applied today from 9.2 (I guess) on Redmi note 8 pro and now stuck on the CrDroid's eye logo... I can't access telegram on my phone nor on my PC (asking me a sms code from my broken phone).
I've trusted this great ROM and made no TWRP backup before applying update unfortunately.
Help is really welcome as I have no phone now ;-). Thanks in advance.
Try to flash stock boot.img and dtbo.img. Some kernels and modules conflict with new update. If it's not work, open TWRP and take backup

There's no way this could have happened. Don't modify the ROM in case you have. Not a single report of update failure other than you.

Custom Kernels, Magisk Or TWRP Modules. LSPosed, Different recovery. Disabling encryption by flashing DFE. There are so many ways this could have gone wrong. So I ask you, have you flashed any extra zip in twrp after flashing the ROM ?

Thanks for your help Dean : no I haven't flashed any extra. I allowed the update to load (no modification at all) agree to reboot, auto reboot in recovery (TWRP 3.7.0-12 20221018), the rom auto flashed (no failure message) then reboot to system and then, every time, gets stuck to the eye (with animated colors).... I do use Magisk but there was no problem with previous OTA update... Should I uninstall Magisk and/or reflash the full ROM? Will I loose my data?

Hey is your phone still in bootloop? Things on XDA are so slow. Recommend telegram group for quick solution and support.
Yes still in bootloop : unfortunately I can't access telegram with my phone and to get telegram on my PC I need a security code sent on my phone ;-) I'll see if I can borrow a phone from a friend then...

Good news I got my phone back : I uninstalled Magisk (don't know if that was necessary though...) and flashed CrDroid 9.5 full rom with TWRP. Many thanks all for your help...

I think I've been having issues with the battery since May update, battery runs out faster and the phone heats up quite a lot when I leave the phone on my pocket. Doesn't matter if there's nothing happening on the background phone will still discharge noticeably. After the update I followed instructions of optimizing battery for apps and restarted a couple of hours after that. Is there any way I could check what's wrong with my phone. I have always had Magisk and LSPosed and didn't have any issues with April update, pretty sure these issues started after updating to latest version.

Hey i Stück in bootloop. I come from Pixel expirience Rom with magisk. I dont have a Laptop now, so i have to Work only with the Phone. The Recovery IS from you. I think ITS because of the boot.img . Could you Upload the Stock Boot please?

Has anyone had problems with the macro camera?
It seems that it doesn't work in any application that uses it.
It simply does not "zoom" the image, it looks like a normal camera.

A new update will be released soon with Auto optimisation which is going to fix these battery drain and system lagging issues. Things will get better. Stay tuned

    Hello, I recently got a Redmi Note 8 pro, running stock MIUI. Which crdroid rom would you suggest, this one, or the official crdroid one? Are there any differences? This thread seems to be more active
    Differences:

    crDroid ROM Official by Simone is an open-source ROM. It comes only in 1 variant, the Vanilla Version, While crDroid ROM by TimJosten is a closed source ROM, it comes with both GApps and Vanilla Versions.

    crDroid ROM Official By Simone is based on OSS vendor and kernel, While crDroid ROM by TimJosten is based on MIUI Kernel And Vendor

    Features:

    crDroid ROM by TimJosten has Few extra Features compared to the OFFICAL Verison which you can read about here. Everything under Tim Exclusive Features in that post can only be found on the UNOFFICIAL Version by TimJosten

    OFFICIAL ROM Bugs:

    Some Bugs that exist on the OFFICIAL Version but have been Fixed on Tim's UNOFFICIAL crDroid:

    1. Audio Leak on Screenshots & Notifications
    2. Broken OTA Updates
    3. Broken Adon.d Script resulting in gapps crash on a dirty flash
    4. Black screen on PIP Mode in DRM Apps like Netflix, Prime Video
    5. Broken WIFI Calling / VoWIFI
    6. Broken HDR Videos on YouTube
    7. Horrible Vibration and Haptic Feedback
    8. Broken In-Call Volume
    9. Broken Carrier Video calling / ViLTE
    10. Broken IPV6 Tethering
    11. Forced LTE+ fix, resulting in battery drain
    12. No Proper Camera Application

    UNOFFICIAL ROM BUGS:

    1. Slow Mo video Export in MIUI Gallery
    2. Nearby Share (Broken on all ROMs)


    Which one is better For You ?

    To determine the answer to this question, you should flash both ROMs, use them for at least a week, and come to a conclusion yourself since everyone's needs are different from one another

    It's been a while that I have used custom roms in my phone. The last phone in which I used custom roms was redmi 2 prime. Then I bought this redmi note 8 pro aka begonia. And I bought this rn8p on 2019 and was still running on stock miui.
    Oh mahn! I really appreciate your support and hard work for this device. Now after unlocking the bl and flashing crdroid ,the phone is crazy fast and the stock Android experience is some feeling that one cannot express in words. The rom is fluid fast and till now there was no hiccups.
    I recommend every rn8p user using the 2 year old miui stock rom to feel the taste of this costom rom.
    Thank you 👍 so much for making this 4 year old phone feeling new again.
    Hope you would continue to support this community.🤍

    Working great for me too, haven't done the rom thing since 2016. Biggest benefit has been getting rid of the bloat/adware, customisation and actually keeping apps like 3c battery monitor running instead of killing them like miui global was.

    The only thing I miss is how miui handled multi windows/freeform. It was easy to switch an app from fullscreen to floating and back, and the 'shortcuts' for minimising and such (swipe to a corner etc.) were well implemented imo.

    Stock freeform doesn't seem to allow switching an app back to fullscreen, tried the dev mode switches on and off too but it just doesn't very usable.

    I've done the whole magisk/lsposed/shizuku thing to run mi-freeform, and it is better than stock freeform but seems to open apps in their own 'container' of sorts which doesn't allow switching between fullscreen and floating and has a few other issues.

    I'm not sure how miui handled it under the hood but I'm curious, and wonder if there is a better option than mi-freeform to replicate it.

    Overall very happy though, all network/nfc/camera etc is working and it feels like a new phone.

    Great work!! Finally found a stable ROM for this device. Thanks for making this.

    One request:
    How can I change accent colors or adapt colors from the wallpaper as I am using pixel launcher. Can we get this feature?

    ----- Update

    Got the support and fixed it from the TG support group.
    If anyone using pixel launcher and facing the same issue. Try pasting the following using any terminal app.
    Need ROOT!

    su -c "settings delete secure theme_customization_overlay_packages"
