Hey guys, long time no see. I have a special update for you :)

crdroid A13 with built in gapps:

TWRP 3.7.0:

Unfortunately this TWRP can't decrypt internal storage because the FBE encryption scheme was changed in A12 and the recovery ramdisk is too small to fit an A12 based TWRP. You will have to use adb sideload to install the ROM and any additional things like Magisk.

I have a 4gb variant of capricorn and everything works OK but A13 might push the 3gb version past it's limits, so bear that in mind when trying it out.

Thank you very much. The version is quite functional. I recommend to install. Updated through the internal menu.

if the device is not used for a long time (more than 1 day), the SIM card is dropped. After restarting the device, everything is restored.

The file transfer option via USB was working and suddenly it is not working at all. I can see the popup & select the USB for file transfer option as well but it doesn’t show my device on laptop. What can I do?

Random reboot once in few weeks and after reboot swapped buttons reset
Apps crash sometimes mostly Youtube Vanced (maybe because i have 3gb version)
Black screen when someone calls so i accept calls from notifications
And i don't know if it's a bug or android 13 design but very long swipe needed to open pin-code unlock
But overall my phone never worked so fast and smoth with miui or any custom with 3.18 kernel

Thanks a lot @Shiptor. That doesn't sound too bad at all. Will give this a shot soon. Cheers!

I've updated this for A14. I made both gapps and non-gapps versions. My fingerprint sensor is broken so I'm unable to test it, but everything else is working. In order to install this you need to use the included recovery. TWRP WILL NOT WORK

Extract the recovery.img from the rom zip and install it in fastboot mode with "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
Boot into recovery mode and use factory reset option. Format both data and cache partitions.
Use apply update and flash the rom via adb with "adb sideload rom.zip"
Apply any other mods you want (such as magisk) with adb sideload
Reboot

Rom works great! There are 2 bugs so far: fingerprint scanner doesn't work (cannot add fingerprint), proximity sensor during calls doesn't turn off the screen

I just wanted to give you a big thanks! It works like a charm for the use I give to the device. It is almost 8 years old... Great work!

    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


    Features:

    Flashing Instructions:

    Pre-installation:


    I have managed to get kernel 4.4 working on capricorn, all features are working including fingerprint sensor. This has FBE (file based encryption) enabled, which is easier to work with and use than traditional FDE (full disk encryption) in previous Android versions. Because of this change, you MUST use the FBE enabled TWRP recovery linked above in order to access your files in recovery mode. In case you missed it, here is the link again:

    FBE enabled TWRP: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=7161016148664781581

    If you are coming from a 3.18 based ROM (which you probably will be) you MUST format your internal storage directly after flashing the ROM. Backup anything important first.

    Sources:
    ROM: https://github.com/crdroidandroid

    Source code related to the 4.4 bringup (including kernel source, device trees and HALs) are available here:

    Very special thanks to @xNombre who did the original work porting 4.4 to gemini.
