[ROM][NZH54D][2023/04/05][Asus Nexus 7 2012 WiFi/3G][F2FS/EXT4]Android 7.x AOSP

This thread is about installing and using AOSP 7.x (Nougat) ROM for the ASUS Nexus 7 Grouper / Tilapia devices.
Asus - Model names
Grouper = Asus Nexus 7 2012 WiFi
Tilapia = Asus Nexus 7 2012 3G
Initial Setup Installation
Update Recovery to TWRP 3.6.2-9 for Grouper resp. TWRP 3.6.2-9 for Tilapia
Boot into Recovery
Factory Reset (only needed if you are not already on Android 7.x AOSP)
Install 7.1.2 Grouper OTA-Package (Build 20230418) (MD5: 3abdfef56c75cc171fce1c4ffd7a17a8)
or
Install 7.1.2 Tilapia OTA-Package (Build 20230418) (MD5: fc7a5bc81587dba848b37bd62e6166b9)
Reboot into recovery
Install Open GApps (arm/7.1/pico)
(if you have issues regarding the size of the GApps please refer to the next post)
[*]To get root access, I suggest to use either Magisk (V21.4) and Magsik Manager (V8.0.7) the "old" version of Magisk, or the new unified Magisk (V26.1) which can be flashed by TWRP, too. Probably you'll need to rename Magisk-v26.1.apk to Magisk-v26.1.zip
I was not able to flash Magisk 24.x by TWRP / direct install, nevertheless the patching boot.img method worked. For that you need to extract the boot.img from the OTA and transfer it to your devies. Then you need to patch the boot.img and transfer it back to your PC. Finally you can flash the patched boot.img using fastboot.
For detailed instructions please consult the Magisk threads here in XDA.
Do not install Magisk on initial setup as it might lead to issues. Start the ROM without having root access the first time and install Magisk in a second step.
If you are already on Android 7.x AOSP, it's sufficient to do the follwowing steps:
Update Installation
Boot into Recovery
Install 7.1.2 Grouper OTA-Package (Build 20230418) (MD5: 3abdfef56c75cc171fce1c4ffd7a17a8)
or
Install 7.1.2 Tilapia OTA-Package (Build 20230418) (MD5: fc7a5bc81587dba848b37bd62e6166b9)
Reboot into recovery
Install Open GApps (arm/7.1/pico)
(if you have issues regarding the size of the GApps please refer to the next post)
Wipe cache/dalvik-cache (optional, but suggested)
reboot
Important: For more detailed installation instructions please refer to the next post
Important: First boot after upgrading will take a bit longer (stays on ANDROID) because of art optimizations
flash and use on your own risk!

Please note:
the system partition is already quite full which leads to the problem that gapps probably will not install correctly and that may lead to weired problems (apps closing / not showing up correctly / ...). I suggest to use the dynamic gapps package linked above. In addition I suggest you to erase the system partition completely before applying the OTA package
If you get "Error 7" when trying to flash the ROM directly after upgrading to TWRP 3.5.2-9, wipe the Boot, System and Cache partition and clean dalvik-cache, then re-boot to Recovery and try again (you will not loose any data as long as you do not wipe the Data partition).
If you get "Error 70" when installing GApps copy the attached gapps-config files into the same directory where the gapps installation packages is copiedI.e. something like
/sdcard/open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20210922.zip
/sdcard/gapps-config-tilapia.txt
/sdcard/gapps-config-grouper.txt
and then try to start the installation again. Error 70 should be fixed.
Some additional hints
If you are in a bootloop which shows to Google logo again and again, it's sufficient to hold vol- while booting. The next bootloop will boot into bootloader.
If you are in a bootloop which shows the ANDROID splash screen continuusly, connect your device to your PC and enter
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
After a few seconds the device should show up the bootloader screen

Anyone have a list of issues? Does video playback in YouTube work correctly on this rom or is it broken like the other 7.0 roms? Have the UI glitches been fixed? Does NFC work?

Why not figure it out by yourself?
If you flash this ROM you can create a list of what's working and what's not [emoji6]
Anyway, when I'm home, I gonna flash this ROM on my brother's Nexus 7 and give feedback. [emoji4]

Wrong link in the post. Downloaded and flashed the last build on my device. After flashing ROM my device was getting cycle reboots and error with cache partition. Fixed that using ADB. ROM seems unstable and buggy. Getting error with Bluetooth share after booting. Navbar and top bar are always black. Old launcher isn't good. Replace it with any good launcher, please. I hope you'll keep work on it. Thank you, good job!

Thanks, I'll correct the link
Nevertheless your problems I cannot reproduce ... probably because I've done an update installation. I'll have a look at it.
What was the ROM you have had installed before? Did you wipe?

When i get a chance this weekend I'm going to try this with Phh Superuser and Magisk. That combo is/was working great on your MM rom.

I flashed your ROM with TWRP 3.0.2-0 and after 'Patching system image uncondinionally' i get
Code:
Patching system image uncondinionally...
E:unknown command [log]
E:unknown command [log]
script succeeded: result was [1.000000]
Updating partition detail...
...done
I doublechecked the md5 of the file and reflashed but still no luck.
[Edit]
I rebooted and it seems to run....
[Edit2]
Flashing the plain ROM without the gapps seems to work - but after these gapps it doesnt start.

I wiped caches, system and data. I installed Android 7 rom, falls and SuperSU. But went into bootloop. I then just installed rom and SuperSU. But keep getting Bluetooth Share keeps stopping messages after boot up. Thanks.
Trued to get into recovery. Now I am keep on getting the following error messages:
E:Unknown fs_type "f2fs" for cache
E: Can't Mount /cache/recovery/last_locale
I cannot boot to Android or bootloader now. I removed battery and plugged it back in. But the same problem. It seems my device is bricked now.
Any suggestions to get out of this loop? Thx

I can connect my grouper to my PC and enter adb reboot bootloader command. But I'm not sure what to do next to fix the cache error in recovery. Any suggestions? Thx

Hi @DSTear, I'm running into the same problem on the cache partition as you. I'd appreciate if you could share your method on fixing the cache error in advance. Thx
I was managed to restore the backup and install twrp again.
I think I will retire my grouper on MM now.

As I can see, there are two main problems you ran into:
- you are using f2fs for cache and / or data and the version of twrp you are using is not supporting that file type
- you are flashing gapps / SuperSU /... but the space on /system is not sufficient
I'll update the OP to make aware of those possible issues and give some hints how to prevent them.

I'm not using f2fs. I issued a mount command and did not find any f2fs hits. Not sure why I am getting those msgs. Odd.

I've updated the installation instructions in the OP / second post
I've added some hints, too, how to get out of bootloops, if you encounter such situations.

Hi. It's quite simple to fix that. Just connect your device to computer, then start bootloop. You will able to fix it using ADB:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
And after that format your cache partition:
Code:
fastboot format cache
And reinstall TWRP just in case:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery [twrp img for your device]

Bluetooth is not working.
Could Restart be added to the shut down menu please?

Bluetooth will be fixed with the next release.

I'm having the same bootloop issues when trying to go to recovery after my rom is installed. After adb reboot bootloader I have to flash twrp to fix that.
Do you maybe know what can cause this issue?
For the bluetooth I saw you already applied the fix to your source

Thanks for the ROM!
Just installed the 20201003 build and it flawlessly so far.
Just a quick question, I can't seem to delete the search widget in the default launcher (quickstep), are there any way to delete it?
Also there are no "Advanced restart" option anymore, is there a way to have a reboot to recovery/bootloader entry in the new Android 11 power menu?

Launcher customizations aren't brought up yet thus search bar is stuck there for time being.

Power menu additions aren't brought up either.

Hello. Does the rom have signiture spoofing?

Gapps Not working
LineageOS version: 18.0
LineageOS Download url: First one I can`t submit the post with the link, this is the version: lineage-18.0-20201016_012612-UNOFFICIAL-kirin.zip
Gapps version: Here is where the issue occurs. None of the Gapps found here, and in first pages in Google by searching "Lineage OS 18 gapps" or either "Android 11 gapps" ever worked on Lineage OS 18.
I flashed with TWRP (I tried also with the Lineage OS recovery but I know that Gapps are not signed and return error from there) Immediately after a clean installation of Lineage OS 18 and wipe, All Open Gapps versions found, BitApps, NikApps and others came with error code 20, error code 70 (I tried with resizing the partition, switching slots, did not work) or fatal error. I managed to flash some of them successfully but they never showed up after turning on the phone.
Everything else except Gapps working as expected until now.
The same kernel is used as for Lineage OS 17.1 that was previously used with a working OpenGapps flash.
The phone version is Xperia 10 I4113, no modifications were made, just Unlocked bootloader, TWRP recovery, Flashed Lineage OS 18 and Flashed all versions of Gapps with no success.
In case you`ve tested and got Gapps successfully after installing the rom share this version with us so we can flash it and use the ROM for daily routines by continue testing.
Thanks in advance.
Regards.

Did you actually reboot recovery between installing rom and gapps?

Yes, I did that multiple times during all night long with many different Gapps versions and reboots of the recovery between ROM flashing and Gapps.
If it is possible to provide a Download URL with Gapps version that has been tested on your end by this way after ROM flashes and it works that will be highly appreciated.
I`ve switched back in 17.1 twice by installing Gapps without issues.
I am currently using the ROM without Gapps so I can wipe and trigger a new flash of Gapps from the recovery, but none of the versions I already tried ever showing up or complete installation.
Thank you for your time and support.

Yes, exactly I am using adb to flash the ROM first, then flash TWRP recovery via fastboot and then flashing gapps via adb from TWRP recovery again by repeating this order in every gapps version which does not take effect or return error 20 or error 70 (open gapps) and fatal error for NikApps.
If it is important I am using MacOS, but we tried from Windows ADB once without much of success.

Currently I can not remember if BitApps version or NikApps returned the error, but the error said that this version is not compatible and the flash just stopped with general error in TWRP recovery log. One of them returned the error, the other one has completed but nothing has showed up after booting to the OS.
I am in the office right now and did not get the cable but if you have suggestions on specific versions of gapps that you think are working, I will try to flash each one by following your instructions tomorrow night after work and provide you with feedback of screenshot of TWRP recovery log for every single gapps package.
If there is a version which you know that can go thru the security signing check from Lineage recovery I can try to flash it from the sdcard right away.

I just want to let you know that this version worked as expected. I have no explanation but probably I did something wrong with the slots. Thanks. I will keep you posted in case of a bug found. However Gapps required TWRP, Lineage recovery does not install gapps due Signing request error.

Bugs Report
I would like to come up with a short report of what did not work with the rom for a few weeks of using.
Actually almost everything works except two main functions.
1. Wi - Fi HotSpot do not work. It shows up but when you connect from another device there is no internet connection. 4G has been established on LineageOS but do not reach the external device via Wi - Fi hot spot.
2. Google accuracy location service does not work, GPS works only when you stay outside. I do not know if it is related to GApps or Rom backend. If you run an app that requires location services will run only outside which is a quite too bad.
That's it for now. Hope it helps.

You mean that Wi-Fi hot spot issue has been fixed already in a recent build?

Gotcha. Thanks.

has anyone had any luck getting magisk 21.1 to work with this rom and twrp yet?
im going round in circles trying to root after updating. i can install magisk from twrp, but i end up in a bootloop, then installing the bootloop fix from twrp wipes magisk and breaks root.
i know 21.1 is a beta and likely doesnt support sony phones yet, but someone might have a fix.
EDIT: I have root working now. Anyone having trouble, DONT install twrp to ramdisk. just leave the lineageOS recovery in place and use fastboot on a pc to boot twrp when you need it.
I did the following:
1. fresh stock firmware via newflash
2.flash sony software binaries for a11
3. fastboot boot twrp.img
4.swap to partition b
5. power off
6. fastboot boot twrp.img (check you are booted to partition b)
7. flash lineageos 18
8.reboot select partition a and POWER OFF
9. fastboot boot twrp.img
10. check partition is a
11. flash copy partition.zip
12. flash magisk 21.1.zip
13. flash nikGapps basic for a11
14. reboot system
15. install magiskmanager 8.0.3.apk
16. reboot
17. update your apps on playstore.
18. PROFIT.

Which package is it you use?
If I flash the Gapps, Lineage can't boot into system and asks for a factory reset.
I'm following the steps exactly as they're described.
Am I missing something?

Just installed it. Was some effort, coming from SailfishX.
Had to install Sony binaries first, then get the latest TWRP (old one gave me errors, the provided one in this post as well). After that installed NikGapps (Gapps or open Gapps do not work I think). Was up till 3am
Got some problems though:
Cannot enable wifi.
Does not detect cellular network at all?
GUI stopped working error at every boot (works after clicking at away).
Settings stopped responding when I click network.
Fingerprint does not seem to be working? Do I need a specifiek Gapps version for that?
Can you tell me what the camera mod does? I do not see any difference?
Thanks for the effort this far!
Edit: I seem to be missing the firmware alltogether. Any ideas how to fix this?

LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 10, which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.
LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.
All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit out Gerrit Code Review. You can also view the Changelog for a full list of changes & features.
Instructions:
Unlock your bootloader
Backup everything, especially the "persist" partition
Make sure you're on a recent version of OxygenOS.
Download the latest build
Run the following commands:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot fastboot
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img
fastboot flash odm odm.img
fastboot flash product product.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash system_ext system_ext.img
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot flash vbmeta_system vbmeta_system.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
fastboot reboot recovery
Wipe all data from recovery.
(Optional) If you need GApps, NikGApps Core are known to work ("Apply update" => "Update from ADB", and then run adb sideload <NikGapps-xxx-arm64-11-yyy.zip>). Note that other variants than Core can crash.
Reboot.

I don't have GApps myself and I don't want to flash them on my personal device. I'm fine with adding a link in the original post provided that one or two person can confirm it works and provide instructions. I think NikGApps are the best candidate.

Fair enough. Thank you for bringing this to the op8 community.

I made an attempt to bundle OpenGApps into the build: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1edechrEwpX5L5SjE6OlsAjRckT-UF69t/view (using https://github.com/opengapps/aosp_build). It bootlooped on my device but I suspect that's because it requires a factory reset which I didn't want to do. Flashing instructions are identical, just make sure you have flashed OOS 11 at some point. If that happens to work for some of you, I'll try to publish both flavors with every release.

"Flash OOS 11 at some point"
What about upgrading from 17.1 ?
Also - Why no OOS 10 - 18.1?

LOS builds only contain a few subset of all the partitions that exist on the OP8 (system, boot, product, dtbo, and some others). The OP8 also contains a lot of other proprietary partitions (ABL, AOP, bluetooth, modem, etc…) that only the manufacturer is able to provide updates for. As far as I understand, those blobs must also be updated to be able to run Android 11 without issues. If you don't update them, it'll likely bootloop or refuse to boot and it's not recommended anyways.
I'm not sure upgrading from 17.1 to 18.1 without wiping is even possible, but if you want to give it a shot, I think your best bet is to extract all the proprietary images from a recent OOS build, then flash them and flash LOS 18.1 over that. You may avoid the annoying MSM step, but my bet is that you'll have to wipe anyways if you want to boot, so I strongly advise that your backup all your data and apps before. In deeper details, you need to :
- get a recent and official OOS 11 build from here : https://www.oneplus.com/support/softwareupgrade/details?code=PM1586920535300
- extract the payload.bin from the image using a tool like this one : https://github.com/LineageOS/scripts/blob/master/update-payload-extractor/extract.py
- reboot to bootloader (adb reboot bootloader)
- flash the stock recovery you just extracted (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img)
- reboot into stock fastboot (fastboot reboot fastboot)
- flash all the blobs you just extracted (fastboot flash abl abl.img && fastboot flash aop aop.img && fastboot flash bluetooth bluetooth.img && ………)
- follow LOS 18.1 flashing instructions from the first post

Yes I agree here.
I and need step by step exact instructions how to flash any rom here.
I am not even gonna try to flash this rom because I know my device is gonna end up at the Qualcomm dump mode.
I can't get anything booted if I flash anything coming from OOS11, don't ask because I have no idea why.
The only way to get my device booting stock rom at this point is to flash stock rom in EDL mode with the msm tool

As TWRP isn't working completely is there way to do the equivalent full system backup with all partitions without TWRP perhaps via fastboot? Because I know I'm not gonna be able to flash a rom its gonna be the same story over and over again setting up the same stock rom over again ..it gets old.
Because custom software for OnePlus 8 is not at the stage of flash and forget I think a unified toolkit in a zip is needed.
It can be separate or bundled with each rom release and regularly updated that I can extract and cd into, and run the fastboot commands from to help making flashing roms and debug as accurate as we possibly can starting with all of us using the same exact toolkit to begin with.
Driver used
Developer framework ie fastboot, adb executable
Payload dumper
Readme File
Bat/sh file for automation
perhaps payload/img files
bundled with rom Gapps with dev, flavor and release because this seem to be subject to not booting
This would make sure everyone is 100% following the same exact instructions making debugging much easier, in this case it seem like gapps one piece of the puzzle possibly preventing rom from booting, in my case I'm can't even make it to square one getting stuck at Qualcomm dump mode..

Good information, I didn't finish my reply during breakfast and noticed you wrote one more.
The only thing I am not comfortable with is that there are links to tools that I have to download from the internet.
Its one factor subject to being sourced from random google searches.
Like the fastboot binary from xda although old doesn't work on op8, I found out the hard way and I am now downloading this directly from Android developer page.
But a lot of headache could be eliminated trying to figure out where and which binaries should be used, what work and what does not.
Is fastboot/adb bundle too old or driver not installed?
Did all of us follow the exact same installation steps in detail the rom developer did?
I hope you understand.

I don't have a definitive answer to everything, but here are some remarks:
- Not sure what exactly your problems were and I'm unaware of any way to backup partitions using fastboot unfortunately. As far as I know, it was not possible to restore nandroid backups using mauronofrio's TWRP on Android 10 either. I think the best you can achieve for now is software and data backup (using "adb pull" and "OAndBackup+" or something else). I can also attest that I had way more weird partitioning issues when using TWRP than LOS' fastboot. Since I stopped using TWRP, I never had to use MSM again.
- What you may attempt to reduce the risk of bricking your device is to take advantage of the A/B partitioning. You can flash everything on the unused slot and switch back to the working slot if anything goes wrong. This can be done by running "fastboot getvar current-slot" to get the current slot, then "fastboot --set-active=a" to switch to slot a (or "fastboot --set-active=b" to switch to slot b, depending on which slot was active).
- I second your reluctance on using tools coming from untrusted sources. Please, don't get fastboot/adb from XDA, use the official Android builds. I can't help you regarding the drivers as I use Linux which ships with drivers, but if you use Windows try to get those drivers from either Microsoft, OnePlus or Qualcomm directly. My instructions to avoid flashing Android 11 with MSM makes you use an official image from OnePlus (which you have to trust anyways) + an open-source tool that's made by LOS developers (which you have to trust anyways). At this point, I think the weakest point of trust if you don't want to build LOS yourself is me.
- Regardless of what you attempt, always make sure you have backups of your valuable data, apps and persist partition. Especially given how capricious this device is .

There's a lot of proprietary software/firmware (apart from the camera apk itself) that its not included in LOS. There have been some ports in the past (e.g. OnePlus6 OOS Camera port or oxy-ify) but all of them seem dead, maybe because google camera port working out of the box.
Creating a magisk module should be doable, but you need to start the app, let it crash and add the missing dep N times until you have all of them

Face unlock is an OxygenOS feature and I don't think AOSP or LineageOS supports something like that officially as it's quite terrible security-wise. GApps also dropped support for face unlock in Android 10 because of security concerns. So unless I'm missing something it probably won't happen anytime soon unless through some third-party module, sorry. It's not just about porting some blobs, it's a whole new OS feature.

Pre-Install Instructions
Warning: The following instructions will unlock the bootloader and wipe all userdata on the device.
Connect the device to a Wi-Fi network.
Enable Developer Options by pressing the “Build Number” option in the “Settings” app within the “About” menu
From within the Developer options menu, enable OEM unlock.
Power off the device, and boot it into download mode:
With the device powered off, hold Volume Down + Volume Up and connect USB cable to PC.
Now, click the button that the onscren instructions coorelate to “Continue” and/or “Unlock Bootloader”.
Your device will reboot, you may now unplug the USB cable from your device.
The device will demand you format userdata, please follow the onscreen instructions to do so.
Run through Android Setup skipping everything you can, then connect the device to a Wi-Fi network.
Re-enable Development settings by clicking the “Build Number” option 10 times, in the “Settings” app within the “About” menu, and verify that “OEM Unlock” is still enabled in the “Developer options” menu.
Installing LineageOS for the first time
Flash lineage recovery
Only the provided lineage recovery will be supported,
using TWRP might result in a possible data loss!!
If using Odin rename the lineage recovery image for your model to recovery.img and add it to a .tar archive using e.g 7zip.
If using Heimdall use: heimdall flash --RECOVERY recovery.img --no-reboot
Boot lineage recovery
IMPORTANT: Do not boot into system again before booting recovery, or system will restore stock recovery!
If using Odin untick auto-reboot before flashing.
After flashing reboot by pressing Volume Down and Power for approximately 7 seconds,
immediately hold Volume Up and Power to boot recovery
IMPORTANT: As of OneUI 3 your device needs to be connected to a PC via USB cable in order to be able to
boot recovery via Volume Up, Bixby and Power.
Factory reset using Factory reset -> Format data/factory reset
Warning: Unlike TWRP this will also erase internal storage!
Sideload LineageOS by enabling sideload via Apply Update -> Apply from ADB
Then run adb sideload <path to your lineage.zip> on your PC
Optional:
Sideload GApps and magisk by repeating above step
with their zip/apk
Magisk
As this ROM has a working ramdisk sideloading the magisk apk is enough, just as it is
on every other device, no bootimage with magisk included or installing to recovery is needed!

Hello,
Stuck at boot screen.
after side-loading the zip as well as MindTheGapps (x64 version).
Mind you I also added FDroid because I wasn't sure if it's included. Was that bad?
files used were:
"lineage-18.1-20210611-recovery-beyond0lte.img" (of course renamed and .tar'ed flashed with odin)
"lineage-18.1-20210611-UNOFFICIAL-beyond0lte.zip"
"MindTheGapps-11.0.0-arm64-20210412_124247.zip"
"F-Droid.apk" (most recent version)
I have attached a pic of the boot screen just do be clear what I mean. Pressing "vol down + power" does reboot(cannot even turn it off) however neither "vol up + bixby" nor "vol down + bixby" has any effect so I cannot access the phone via heimdall, odin, ADB or fastboot.
are there any options left to try or do I own a shiny new paperweight?`
any help is appreciated.

First, you posted this in the wrong thread, this one is meant for Note10 series, the one for S10 series is over here:

Could you please provide more information on your issue?
Like which firmware version were you on before flashing the ROM etc,
Also I don't quite understand why you list F-Droid.apk in used files, that's not something you sideload in recovery, so it booted up before I guess?
Also if BL splash is still shown I'm quite sure you can still enter DL mode ... just keep in mind your phone needs to be connected to a PC in order for it to work (force reboot and immediately press and hold combination for DL mode while it's connected to a PC)

that does nothing. I'll keep trying a bit before I move one.
Thanks for your quick response anyway.

I did the installation by sideload (ROM + Gapps) but when "trying to boot" the device returns to the DL screen.
even restarting to exit the DL screen, the device insists on returning to it.

Like I'm pretty sure you get some error message on DL mode screen
As you're actually the first one trying this on d1 (only found a tester for d2s before) you might want to PM me and/or join my telegram group for further debugging if needed

The main differences are these:
- It's open source
- SELinux is enforcing
- File based encryption on /data
- Merged upstream 4.14.x kernel
- It has a ramdisk (which makes installing e.g magisk a lot easier)

Thanks for providing the ROM! Does it support signature spoofing?

I don't include out-of-tree patches, sorry
However in my S10 Series thread there's another solution for this one
Anyways, read the OP, download links are taken down temporarily as some users apparently had problems with getting it to boot
Will be up again next week hopefully (will get a device myself by that time)

Fixed builds are now up

Hi I am new here, I have two questions:
1. Installing using twrp is: just wipe internal storage and install file?
2. Why zipfile from Ivan's version is like ~1,2gb and this .bin file is only ~700MB?

1. Do not use TWRP (read the instructions in post #2!) it will eventually corrupt your data when using encryption which we do here
Use lineage recovery instead
2. I only have the proprietary blobs from stock that are *actually needed* probably it's different in ivan's ROM
Also it's a zip too idk why you say it's a ".bin"

@Linux4
I managed to install your version, its more stable than ivans version so thank you man great job, on ivans version had microphone issues and telephoto2x did not work, this one feels very good and probably usable as a daily driver phone..
I have a question for you, is there a way to add option in settings that blocks notification&quick-access-tiles from being accessed from locked screen?
And S-pen question: is there a way to make keyboard appear when I tap whit S-pen on txt field (it puts cursor there but keyboard does not apper until I tap there with finger.)

@Linux4
I notice S-pen issue, aside from seeing this icon when hovering over clickable button there are scrolling issues, something like one in four attemps fails to regognize gesture, you can open gsmarena.com a try scrolling there and it is very unrelialable and often instead of scroll it taps on some link over there, I tried ivans version and this issue wasnt there, (the hand logo also wasnt there) so maybe you can somehow take S-pen module from him, probably after that this build will be 99.9% complete

You know that both this and the other keyboard thing aren't even really device specific issues (actually rather stylus specific, it's the same on another device with SPen I have)?
It's just that AOSP doesn't have good support for these pens, they're basically handled like a mouse
Scrolling is fine for me on my own device tho and I do not get that hand icon (which is due to it being a "mouse") on the post reply button (tho in some other places I do get it)
I'm going to mess with that stuff in the future maybe

Yea you are right, I did pay closer attention to S-pen behavior and you are right, it is basicaly a mouse.. And issue solved, had magnetic case and that messed up S-pen behavior..

Development [ROM][Unofficial][pdx214][13] crDroidAndroid 13.0 - 2023-04-27

crDroid Android is a free firmware distribution of Android 13, which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.
crDroid is based on the LineageOS & Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community.
All the source code for crDroid is available in the crDroid GitHub repo
Basic requirements:
Unlock your bootloader, make sure you are on Android 13 firmware (tested over 61.2.A.0.410)
Make sure you can send and receive SMS and receive calls (also via WiFi and LTE, if possible). It would be better for you to get VoLTE/VoWiFi utilized once on stock to provision IMS
Currently tested on XQ-BQ52 (Global version)
Current build has no Gapps built-in so it's up to you either to stay Gapps-less or flash Gapps version you want (I would recommend NikGapps personally)
Make sure you have gone through the installation guide once before proceed!
Installation:
Flash additional partitions and recovery.
Download the following files from the download link:
dtbo.img
vendor_boot.img
boot.img
Connect your device to your PC via USB if isn't already
If your device is not already in fastboot mode, on the computer, open a command prompt (on Windows) or terminal (on Linux or macOS) window, and type:
Bash:
adb reboot bootloader
Flash the downloaded image files to your device by typing:
Bash:
fastboot --set-active=a
fastboot flash dtbo_a <dtbo>.img
fastboot flash vendor_boot_a <vendor_boot>.img
fastboot flash boot_a <boot>.img
Now reboot into recovery to verify the installation:
Bash:
fastboot reboot recovery
Installing ROM from recovery
Download the crDroid installation package that you would like to install from the download link
If you are not in recovery, reboot into recovery
Now tap Factory Reset, then Format data / factory reset and continue with the formatting process. This will remove encryption and delete all files stored in the internal storage, as well as format your cache partition (if you have one).
Return to the main menu
Sideload the crDroid package
On the device, select "Apply Update", then "Apply from ADB" to begin sideload
On the PC, sideload the package using:
Bash:
adb sideload filename.zip
Return to the main menu
(Optionally) If you want to install any add-ons (Gapps, Magisk..), click "Advanced", then "Reboot to Recovery", then when your device reboots, click "Apply Update", then "Apply from ADB", then "adb sideload filename.zip" those packages in sequence.
Once you have installed everything successfully, click the back arrow in the top left of the screen, then "Reboot system now"

My daily driver for about a week now. Haven't found any problems so far. Seems everything to be working. But for sure we need more testing..

Well, it's not GSI if that's what you meant. Closed source proprietary blobs are taken from stock ROM, otherwise just fully-fledged build from crDroid sources.

Not exactly. There's an initiative called SODP which provides all the necessities and binaries to build anything you want. Alas, usually it's not stable enough, especially on newer devices with hard configurations (like with our periscope camera).
Anyway, gonna test crDroid today and report anything I'd find interesting or worth noting

Aah, I see. It's my first SONY device so I'm not aware about all the nuances yet No, it's not SODP based build.

thanks very nice rom

Good work, btw might want to do a rebuild with the newest Krispy version, major speedups on the 1 III that's running Krispy-v1.2.1 plus some battery life improvement, maybe I'll do 5 III builds too, if I get any testers that is.

Just installed this. Feels like I've been waiting ages for a custom ROM, and now here it is!
So far it seems too good to be true, not a single issue yet.

Will test later today. Curious to see if refresh rate can be locked @ 120hz. The GSI builds I tried on A11 and A12 were stuck at 60

Of course you can lock that dunno if he added the stuff for the refresh rate qs tile though

Not even that, i think you can turn it on from the settings, but qs tile is more convenient

For me it works. Magisk Delta does the trick.

After using it for a few days, it is very stable and smooth, the battery performance is also great, thank you for your efforts

Cannot get Photo Pro and other sony app running after install sony framework in Magisk delta. Any one else has the same issue?
