Nice it's working, hope you continue to work on custom Roms

UPDATE: it's working now. Might had some problems with my GAPPs

Thankyou!

I've been using this for a day now and I gotta admit, it's so smooth and reliable for now, nothing to argue about! I absolutely love this rom! Thanks for creating this for the S9(+) Hope we'll get more ROMs like this

Perfect thank you so much. I am glad it works. I need a screenshot of it working though to get the dev's approval. His rules not mine. So just dm me a screenshot in xda of it working please, so I can get it validated. (Screenshot of About Phone > Android Version in settings would be best)

Also a word of warning, I may be unable to create a rom for crdroid S (android 12), as I have no idea how to make rom sources. I just know how to compile roms with preexisting sources. So unless someone builds android 12 lineage os or something for the s9 and s9 plus, then the road may end here for this rom unless someone else picks it up.

Thanks for ur help. I might, but I also have a lot of other things to do.

Yah, sry I don't use gapps, I try to avoid them as much as possible. So I didnt test that.

@Linusrg1 I'm currently on crDroid 7.2, on the S9; can I update to 7.6 just by flashing the rom through twrp? Will that create any side effects maybe? Like losing data and such? I cba to make a backup as it's very high in size.

Thats what I did and it worked fine. If not make a data backup then start off clean.

I mean you sure it won't mess up with magisk manager and tasker? Since I'm just flashing the rom itself and not re-rooting?

EDIT: I've lost root, and it messed up with google apps, as in they were force closing. I've patched the boot.img for magisk to work again as in to re-gain root, and flashed google apps .zip, it seems ok for now. Also it seems it takes a second for the animation to pass through and to be able to enter the pin code on the lock screen after swiping, why's that?

Because you need to wipe system data cache and dalvik cache flash the rom and then flash data again.

It's all okay now, except I found the culprit to the 1-second delay for the animation to step in to enter the pin; when you set up face unlock, that bug appears. When you don't use face unlock but just pin/fingerprint combo, it doesn't have that delay when you swipe on the lock screen to enter pin.

I have the SM-960F/DS version of starlte, which I believe has the Exynos chipset, while the American version has the SnapDragon. Does anyone know if this ROM will have any issues on the SM-960F/DS or does the chipset not matter for the ROM?

well, for starters, Snapdragon models mostly can't unlock the bootloader. But yes, the exynos models with the latest bootloader (you can install dev base first and then flash this, if you're uncertain) should run this with no problem.

Sorry, I am somewhat new to the custom ROM scene. Can you explain to me how to check if I have the latest bootloader, what is the dev base and where I can get it?
