[UNOFFICIAL][ROM][TREBLE][10.0] crDroid 6.x for the A5/A7 2017

[Simon1511]

crDroid 6.x for the Galaxy A5/A7 2017​

LineageOS, an open-source Android distribution, is available for several devices,
with more being continuously added thanks to the biggest, yet ever growing, Android open-source community.

crDroid uses LineageOS as base. We try to keep in sync with LineageOS source while also adding lots of customizations for you to choose from.​

Your warranty is now void.

Im not responsible for any damage that may happen to your device but I will be here to help.

All the ROMs source code is available in the LineageOS Github repo and crDroid Github repo.​

How to install

• Make sure you have the latest Oreo firmware bootloader and modem before installing this ROM.
• Make sure you are using the latest official TWRP version.
• Download the repartition script from here
• The script will lessen the system partition size and create a new partition at /vendor. Download only the repartition script, not the attatched kernel.
• Download the ROMs zip.
• Make a backup of all your necessary partitions in case something goes wrong.
• Optionally download GApps and Magisk.
• In TWRP wipe system, data and cache.
• Flash the repartition script and reboot to recovery afterwards.
• Flash the ROM.
• Optionally, flash GApps and Magisk right after.
• Do NOT flash a custom recovery like SHRP or Oragenfox, they are not able to mount the new partition. Only the modified TWRP version in the script is able to mount the partition.
• Reboot.

Downloads

[matkali]

Thank you
Nice Work :good:

can you explain what's different between
your treble vs gsi treble vs normal roms !

 

[Astrako]

Very happy to see this finally for the A5, excellent work!

Dont forget to support dev work pushing thanks button

 

[edy sunanto]

very good ... thank you very much ... but unfortunately it hasn't been able to install GSI rom

 

[Jmackley]

very good ... thank you very much ... but unfortunately it hasn't been able to install GSI rom

No, you can't install gsi ROMs with this

 

[TioLord]

No, you can't install gsi ROMs with this

So what mean it enable treble?

 

[de_inferno]

So what mean it enable treble?

It will enable treble support, like separation of OS and vendor part. But currently it is only done on level that allows it to say that "hey, i am treble enabled" and it DOESN'T mean that it is compatible with Generic System Images (GSI) right now.

Currently there is problems with booting GSI images, it will bootloop and /proc/last_kmsg will say something about /dev mount move error.

 

[edy sunanto]

Hopefully soon you can find a way to install GSI treble ... hopefully someone can make fake treble gsi ... like Sony XP, he can use fake treble, even with 2 methods ... Aonly and Ab

what is the benefit of having this Partition at this moment?

what is the benefit of having this Partition at this moment?

Installing CRDroid treble edition is currently the only benefit, but I would advise using the non treble version if you want CRDroid as it is more stable
