NOTICE: crDroid 7.x (Android 11) is now in maintenance-only release mode, and will probably be End-Of-Life'd soon.
I'll be merging monthly Android Security Bulletins from upstream as they're available, and pushing releases, but they're blind builds at this point and I don't have time to troubleshoot them any longer.
Please consider updating to crDroid 9.x (Android 13):

crDroid is built on top of LineageOS, and is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device, while also attempting to bring you many of the best features in existence today.
Features
A quick glossary and primer on flashing & slots for A/B devices (like ours):
Spoiler: Show/Hide
- "Clean flash": Removing device protection & clearing user settings before installing a bootable system install zip (usually by either wiping or formatting data, see below).
- "Dirty flash": Flashing a ROM zip (usually upgrading to new version, sometimes just re-flashing the existing one) without wiping data or anything first.
- "Wipe data": Synonymous with "factory reset", accomplished from TWRP recovery by selecting "Wipe", then performing the "Slide to factory reset". Clears user data without erasing any partitions, removing encryption, or deleting contents of internal storage.
- "Format data": Formats the data partition itself, resets all file-based encryption keys, loses all contents of internal storage, and in fact deletes all "user 0" directories (this has some implications for internal storage before & after first boot).
- "User 0" directories are a series of directories that store userdata for the primary user, "Owner", and get created in various places throughout the filesystem on first system boot if they don't exist already. Anything you copy to "internal storage" while booted in recovery after "formatting data" will actually be copied to /data/media/ instead of /data/media/0/, and will become invisible to regular file browsing after first boot once the system has created /data/media/0, since the system will prefer to use that path for internal storage from then on (so you'll need a root file browser to delete things from /data/media, or just ADB sideload things instead of copying after formatting but before booting).
- "OTA package": Originally an abbreviation for "over the air", referring to how a software update could be delivered (as opposed to having to take your phone to a carrier's store for a firmware update via serial/USB connection). The common usage in Android circles is any installation zip file that actually includes a bootable system.
- Some partitions are duplicated (system, vendor, boot, and probably a couple others, but not data) and have a "slot A" & "slot B" copy.
- "Slot A" and "slot B" are absolute designations, but most installer zip scripts use the relative designations: "active" and "inactive". Whichever slot you're booted from currently is "active", and the other one is "inactive".
- Installing a zip file that's flagged as being an OTA package will 1) install the contents to the "inactive" slot, and then 2) flag the bootloader to switch which slot is considered "active" (and booted from) and "inactive" upon next reboot.
- The OxygenOS full OTA zip files and all custom ROM installer zip files are considered "OTA packages" and will trigger a slot switch on next boot after installation.
- You can install multiple OTA zip packages one after the other without rebooting in both the stock recovery and TWRP; they will all get installed into the correct partitions in the "inactive" slot, one on top of the other, and then it will swap active & inactive upon reboot.
- We don't use what are called "delta" updates, which can patch existing partitions by block or by file; we use full filesystem images. So for us, OTA zip packages are really just a bunch of partition filesystem image files all wrapped up into a "payload.bin" with some extra instructions & metadata/checksums, so when you flash a ROM, it overwrites entire partitions at a time instead of individual files or filesystem blocks within that partition. So if you've changed something in a partition like system that gets written as part of flashing an OTA zip, all your changes are gone. The only thing in the system partition afterward will be what was in the system.img that was included in the ROM zip payload.
- The partitions that crDroid, LineageOS, and most custom ROMs for OnePlus 6 & 6T install to when flashing are boot (contains recovery & kernel), dtbo, system, and vbmeta. Some ROMs (like Syberia) build the vendor partition from source instead of just trying to work with the existing OEM vendor partition, so they flash that one too when installing. So you definitely need to flash stock vendor before switching from Syberia or another source-built vendor ROM to one like Lineage or crDroid that uses prebuilt.
- "Prebuilt vendor" vs. "source-built" vendor partitions: when first trying to get a custom ROM working on a new device now that we have separate system & vendor partitions & Google's "Project Treble" is a thing, you'll often just leave the contents of the vendor partition alone, because that's where all the proprietary or device-specific stuff lives (manufacturer specific hardware drivers & interfaces, any DRM libraries, custom frameworks & selinux policies for talking to them), and you make a compatibility map of what framework versions you're compiling against in system and what vendor version they're compatible with or supersede or you overlay updated things that should replace stuff in the vendor partition and keep it in system_ext instead. But you're also limited in that if there are some things in vendor, you CAN'T work around it from the ROM side (like, OnePlus Camera working correctly). So often, once the basics are functioning, the goal is to move to building the contents of the vendor partition from source, because you then have the freedom to fix problems with sepolicy, library/framework mismatches, etc. and make things work with the custom ROM instead of only working with the OEM's flavor of Android, and you can still copy individual pre-compiled files from the stock vendor filesystem image if needed (like if there's no open-source equivalent for some driver). Unfortunately, OnePlus SDM845 (enchilada & fajita, the OP6 & OP6T) never got a proper source-built vendor bringup by the LineageOS team (upon which crDroid is based). And while Syberia has had source built vendor in Android 11 (possibly 10?), it was only done for enchilada and NOT fajita, it's not trivial to unroll & commonize what they've done to apply to other ROMs, and some of the proprietary files they keep are imported from other similar devices/similar chipsets rather than source-built (presumably because the OnePlus ones are modified in a weird way that the open-source components can't hook into, but still not ideal). So for fixing a lot of the issues we still face with lack of things working quite right, or hardware features not available in custom ROMs (especially compared to newer OnePlus devices like the 7, 8, or 9 series), we're kinda stuck, because you can't just implement it against the stock prebuilt vendor.
- "Updating firmware" simply means we're flashing updated contents from the manufacturer into all the OTHER partitions besides the ones that the ROM OTA zip touches. There are another dozen or more of those, besides system & boot, that the full OxygenOS OTA zip would normally write to when you install it. The contents of the system partition in custom ROMs for our device are generally built against a particular version of OxygenOS (mostly the contents of the OEM vendor partition), and we've recently had an entire major Android version update come through from OxygenOS. Some people are still on older firmware that is now dramatically different than what the current custom ROM was intended to deal with (that is, all the stuff from OxygenOS is still based on Android 10, while the ROM is expecting compatibility with Android 11), and while I tend to agree that OxygenOS 10 was better than the current state of OOS 11, that doesn't matter when you're talking about installing the custom ROM over it. So please, keep an eye out in the release notes for what the recommended/required firmware versions are, and remember to update (procedure below).
Notes on custom recoveries with OxygenOS 11 firmware:
Spoiler: Show/Hide
- My understanding (from people smarter than me) is that the android-11 tree of TWRP is kind of a mess at the moment. I had made some 3.6.0_11-0 unofficial builds for both enchilada & fajita, but now they don't even seem to boot and I don't know why. TWRP android-11 tree refuses to mount the system partition where it belongs, and so addon.d OTA survival scripts don't work correctly any longer (which means you're hosed if you use NikGapps and update while booted from a TWRP version ending in "11-0", or if you have Gapps installed as a module and forget to reboot recovery & re-flash Magisk after flashing an update from TWRP).
- Trying to `fastboot boot` an Android 9-based TWRP image (like official 3.5.2_9-0 twrp.img) after installing OxygenOS 11 doesn't work, and will drop you into Qualcomm Crash Dump mode. Don't try to flash it as your boot partion, either.
- Meanwhile, stock LineageOS-based recovery, for all its shortcomings, has working fastbootd (aka "Userspace fastboot", which is what happens when you go to "Advanced", then choose "Enter fastboot" and the background colors go from purple to orange) that lets you flash both slots at once and unlocks critical partitions, while the OnePlus OEM bootloader (where it says "Fastboot Mode" in a square, then goes to the big green "START" text over white & dark red terminal font type text) can't be used to flash every partition to update firmware. Personally, I still think of it as wannabe-class and not a "real" custom recovery until the Lineage team 1) implements userdata decryption so you can manage files in /data and install updates from internal storage, and 2) allows for a factory reset the way we've always all understood it ("wipe data") WITHOUT nuking the contents of internal storage for no good reason ("formatting data"). But since crDroid is LineageOS-based, it's what we've got, and fastbootd is the best way to update firmware.
- With all that being said, since it's likely TWRP will only get MORE broken with Android 12 looming large, we're officially only going to support the built-in LineageOS-based recovery & OTA updater moving forward, until things change dramatically. If you want to try different custom recoveries (new builds of TWRP, OrangeFox, PBRP, whatever), feel free; and let us know how it works! But you're on you're own doing that.
- And on the system update side, applying system OTA updates seems to work correctly using the built-in Updater tool (Settings > System > Updater) both with new OTA releases and when choosing a file from "Local Installation". It executes OTA survival scripts correctly from /system/addon.d/ as well. I've personally tested and it correctly preserved Magisk v23 canary and MindTheGapps & NikGapps (on tester fajita) and MinMicroG "system" install package on my daily driver enchilada.
- ...however it has an accidental dependency on Magisk, due to things beyond my control upstream in the ROM. Whoops. Won't work if you don't have Magisk installed.
- FLASHING the old official TWRP 3.5.2_9-0 INSTALLER zip (or newer) on top of OOS 11.x DOES seem to work for now, but you need to be in a recovery environment that allows you to flash that installer in the first place (either by booting into an already-installed TWRP recovery before updating firmware, or by having an Android 11 compatible recovery boot.img to be able to `fastboot boot`). I don't know if it'll keep working in Android 12 or with crDroid 8.
- Look, if you really want to stick with TWRP, I don't blame you. I made bootable Android 11 compatible TWRP images for enchilada & fajita back at 3.5.2, and they still work well enough to `fastboot boot` them and then flash the old official 3.5.2_9-0 installer zips. Look at the attachments at the end of post #2. Also, you may want to try one of Siddhesh's custom recoveries; they probably work even better.
- TL;DR: I prefer TWRP too but current official releases are kinda broken and it's a chore to get the old version installed correctly, so built-in LineageOS-based recovery and Updater app are the supported way to install & update moving forward.
Prerequisites:
- Make sure your bootloader is unlocked (and don't plan on relocking it ffs).
- Make sure you have a reasonably-current, working installation of android platform tools (adb & fastboot command line binaries & necessary drivers) on your computer, with a known-good USB cable (see links in post #2).
- Make sure you've downloaded the most recent full OxygenOS OTA installer zip (11.1.2.2), crDroid zip, matching crDroid boot.img, and whatever Magisk/GApps/microG installation packages you want to use to your computer (see links in post #2).
- Make sure you've backed up whatever data you want to keep to somewhere that's not on your phone; for a new install, we're going to format the data partition and you're going to lose everything from internal storage.
Let's get started!
Updating firmware:
- Reboot to bootloader (no USB cable connected).
- If you're not already using the stock (LineageOS-based) recovery, you'll need to `fastboot flash boot path/to/boot.img`, substituting in the path & filename for the current crDroid boot.img that you downloaded as part of the prerequisites.
- Reboot to bootloader again (actually loads new bootloader that you just flashed).
- Use Vol +/- buttons to select "Recovery mode" and press Pwr button to boot stock recovery.
- Tap "Advanced", then tap "Enter fastboot" (the already-selected first option).
- Follow the instructions for extracting the partition images from the official OxygenOS Updater full OTA zip you already downloaded using the "payload-dumper-go" utility, and flashing them one at a time, from https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/enchilada/fw_update, except for the very last command ("fastboot reboot").
- Since those instructions were updated for Android 12, and this is still Android 11-based & depends on using the OxygenOS prebuilt vendor partition contents, you'll also need to run fastboot flash --slot=all vendor vendor.img at the end of the list of commands in the linked LineageOS Wiki article above.
- If you're only updating firmware and were already on crDroid, you can just "fastboot reboot" which will go back to system. If this is part of coming to crDroid from another ROM, continue with the instructions below.
First time installing crDroid to your OP6, coming from stock OxygenOS 11.x or another ROM (stock LOS-based recovery):
- Update to OxygenOS 11.1.2.2 firmware as described above if you haven't already.
- At the end of that procedure, (re)flash the crDroid boot.img to the `boot` partition of both slots, then reboot to recovery.
- Once you're rebooted into stock recovery, ADB sideload the crDroid installation zip. It might prompt you with "Install anyway?" on the phone, so don't just walk away from it.
- After the adb sideload has finished and the purple menu at the top comes back, hit the back arrow, then choose "Wipe data" (which WILL format internal storage -- you backed up as noted above, right?).
- Reboot to recovery (causes it to switch slots so any further installations will be on top of the slot that it just installed crDroid into).
- ADB sideload Magisk and/or any GApps packages you want to use. Please note that any time you install something via ADB sideloading, that the install file is technically renamed "sideload.zip" in transit by the ADB protocol, which might cause problems with installers that try to get too clever for their own good and alter behavior based on renaming the installation zip (like MinMicroG), so you might have to get even MORE clever with changing up installation order (like flash MinMicroG/GApps before Magisk so it won't install as a module. I dunno, talk to the package installer authors to get them to just build multiple packages or talk to the LineageOS devs to allow you to decrypt internal storage, copy stuff to internal storage via MTP, and install stuff from internal storage like a proper custom recovery (or at least maybe `adb push` to an unencrypted temp dir in the data partition).
- Reboot system.
- ???
- Profit!
OTA updating from Updater app with OOS 11.x firmware (recommended):
- This is the preferred way now. You just go to Settings > System > Updater, and... install an update. It processes addon.d OTA survival scripts correctly (tested with Magisk, MinMicroG, MindTheGapps, and NikGapps).
- Please note that there's currently an accidental depencency on Magisk being installed for this to work. I don't know if this will get fixed; that's definitely above my pay grade. This appears to have been fixed; huzzah!
- If you're trying to do a "Local Install" of the downloaded zip, please note you NEED to download on a computer & transfer to internal storage via USB cable; downloading files from an app on the phone associates it with a particular app thanks to Android 11+ Scoped Storage/SAF bull**** and will cause the file to be unreadable to the updater app process.
-- Old TWRP-based instructions below the fold (not recommended, but keeping for historical value... probably not accurate but I'm not going to update them more) --
Spoiler: Show/Hide
OTA updating from TWRP with OOS 11.x firmware:
You don't need to remove device protection; it works fine with PIN. Be sure you have a PIN set, or have looked up whatever that arcane chart of pattern > numeric incantations in case of pattern unlock. It's awful.
- Boot into TWRP recovery.
- Choose install, then select crDroid.zip, select additional zips, choose the TWRP installer zip, then slide to confirm flash.
- Reboot recovery.
- Choose install, then select Magisk zip (if using), select additional zips, choose GApps/microG (if using), slide to confirm flash.
- Please keep off of the grass, shine your shoes, wipe your... dalvik.
- Reboot system.
OTA updating from TWRP with OOS 10.x firmware:
- Don't. Update firmware to 11.1.2.2 first.
Reporting bugs:
I'm a parent of three young kids whose industry disappeared in the pandemic and is now full-time house husband & parent-in-charge while my wife is teaching full-time, I'm trying to save my small live-event-turned-streaming-studio company in my spare time. I'm doing in-home caregiving for a family member overnight one day a week. This is the back-up spare-spare-time hobby. I'm not a software developer nor do I know any programming languages, I just wanted a ROM with signature spoofing support and more customization than the unofficial microg-compatible LineageOS builds. So if there are bugs or feature requests, I go over to the crDroid dev chat and ask if someone has time to hold my hand & help. Don't make me get yelled for annoying them, mmkay? That said...
- Logs/screenshots/recordings or it didn't happen. Either the built-in Matlog app, or Syslog (free, open source, available on Play store and F-droid) are your friends here.
- I try to keep an organized notebook of roadmap, feature reqeusts, bug reports, etc. I won't always be able to fix it, but I'll at least look and do my best to ask the actual devs.
- I don't sign into XDA much, so if I haven't said anything, check out the Telegram group. Lots of helpful folks there.
- Please keep your questions in this thread instead of PMing me with them directly, so that the entire class can benefit from the discussion and you can find out if it's just you or if this is a widespread issue.
It's your device to use the way you want of course, and I use Magisk & microG and like to tweak things myself. But don't expect much support if you:
- didn't do a clean flash.
- aren't using the built-in kernel.
- are using extensive modifications (besides Magisk) like Xposed/Riru, Dolby Atmos, Viper4A, etc.
- immediately start using "finalize.zip" or flashing migrate restore zips instead of following the actual instructions.
- are running decrypted.
- re-locked your bootloader for some reason... you're on a custom ROM; don't do that.

Notes:
- crDroid 7.x (based on Android 11 & LineageOS 18.1) is no longer being actively developed, and I don't know how long someone on the dev team will keep merging monthly security updates. I'll try to keep building releases as long as there are updates, but all my limited time is focused on 9.x/Android 13 bringup now. We're in maintenance mode now, so any outstanding bugs are likely to just remain for perpetuity.
- Yes it supports package signature spoofing permission for microG compatibility out of the box (but will work without ANY GApps/microG implementation installed as well).
- Maintainer does not use GApps, so cannot answer questions about which packages work best from firsthand experience. In general, go with the smallest package you can and then install other Google apps from the Play Store. Please note that if you replace the stock dialer with Google Dialer, you may lose access to the Phone Info menu (*#*#4636#*#*) until you install another dialer. For recommendations, see https://wiki.lineageos.org/gapps.
- Requires OOS 11.1.2.2 firmware (last official release). You should consider using an Android 10 ROM if you want to continue using Android 10 firmware.
- Tested against latest Magisk 24 canary (with zygisk instead of magiskhide), works well.
- No there won't be official builds with inline GApps; please don't ask.
crDroid 7.30 - May 2023 ASB release notes/changelog:
Changelog since v7.29 official release:
- Merged May 2023 Android Security Bulletin from upstream.
- Whatever the ROM dev team changed upstream in LineageOS and crDroid sources (not much? they're busy with Android 13+).
- No changes to device-specific files.
Known issues:
- No f2fs-formatted userdata support, sadly. Doesn't work with the prebuilt vendor partition required for this version of Android. You'll need to reformat data to ext4 before being able to boot (you can fastboot flash the crDroid 8.x or 9.x boot.img if you need a recovery that will let you choose).
- Google Hotword recognition might be kinda broken right now (on more than one custom ROM/device, not just us), and may cause some screw-up that prevents microphone audio from being allowed to go anywhere else if it's enabled.
- If you are stuck at "Android is starting..." looping endlessly, then press power, reboot to bootloader, and follow the instructions for updating firmware to OxygenOS 11.1.2.2 in the first post. It doesn't wipe data, you shouldn't lose anything.
- Some screen-off gestures may not work, due to limitations beyond my control; don't use those gestures. Sorry.

After running the Rom for 5 days now I can confirm that it's very stable and has tons of customization. Unfortunately though android auto is not working. face unlocking, camera, etc works fine. Would appreciate it if you could fix the android auto issue in the future build.
Anyone else having issues with GPay? I'm using Magisk, hidden, and GPay still won't work.
Is it possible to update crDroid from 6.13 to 7.2 without data formatting (keeping application and data)?

Hey, I have the twrp-3.3.1-18-enchilada-Q-mauronofrio TWRP installed on my Oneplus 6, do I still need to upgrade it to the one which you are recommending? I'd rather go with the one that I currently have and not go through the hassle of updating the recovery. That being said, obviously you would know much better.
Please guide
TIA

Twrp 3.3 should work fine with the rom. You can keep using it if you want to. However, there is no extra step to use 3.5 vs 3.3. You have to flash twrp after flashing the rom so you can upgrade to 3.5 by just flashing it instead of 3.3.
Quick questions, this rom have smart charging feature?
Firstly, I just want to say this is the most awesome ROM I've tried and i've sat here for a week trying every rom I could get find on the net. It's almost flawless... except for a few hugely killer problems that will sadly make this ROM unusable for me... even though I love it soooo much and if only these things worked... this would be the most amazing ROM ever.
1. After installing GPS doesn't work.
2. When I get a phonecall... I hear the ring... but nothing happens on the screen... so I can't pickup the call. I see after i got a missed call... but i can't answer calls when they're calling... even if I go to the homescreen from whatever app i was using when i got the call... click on the phone icon.... still nothing. Can't answer the call.
3. Text messages simply don't arrive. If I flash the rom back to stock Oxygen OS ... then the text message comes through. But it's a bit late when you're trying to get a verifiaction SMS sent to you to open an messanging app. Can't use the app because i can't get the verification SMS.
If these three things get fixed... omg this will literally be the best ROM ever.
There is a 4th issue... and for me it's important... but it's probably not any fault really of crDroid ROM to be fair...
Very surprisingly... and I just wanted to see if it would work.... kali nethunter for Oxygen OS which is for droid 10 installs over the top of this rom which is droid 11... to much surprise! ...and almost flawlessly... only issue is it doesn't recognise HID interface.
Man... with these 4 things working... this ROM together with nethunter would make for the most badass hacker pentester phone on the planet... save only for the exact same thing on a oneplus 7 or 8 pro.
Many thanks to the devs of this awesome ROM... who hopefully can get 1, 2, and 3 working in the not too distant future... pretty please?
4 is more of a hope and a prayer... but it would be soooo freaking awesome.

You have been positing this in more than one thread. This has nothing to do with any rom, and is related to what you are doing with your phone or the phone itself. Telephony is flowless on every Android 11 custom rom for Oneplus 6. And so is GPS, which literally connects in seconds.
First thing you should do is: disable wifi calling, because if your provider doesn't have the feature (or you are not provisioned for it), that could cause your problems. Next, uninstall any mode you might have. Try calling without Gapps.
Also, if you ever used Syberia Rom, you got custom /vendor, which would not work with other custom roms that use stock /vendor. So, you need to re-flash full stock rom onto both slots, which is a pre-requisite for flashing most custom roms. Then follow directions for installing a custom rom.

LAST PERSONALLY Verified as working and "stable"*: GAPPS, 8/19 GAPPS
First and foremost, I'm simply compiling this for the OnePlus 6 and am making some small tweaks to include Opengapps and not only Go Apps in the builds.
The parent for this by phhusson can be found at [Resurrection Remix] [Unofficial] [2018-05-19] Phh-Treble
Next the most important information where to get the most current build of the ROM: Google Drive
For now I suggest the version ending in -go such as: 'rr_6_1_180616_system-arm64-ab-go.img.xz' as the '-gapp' is in development, I expect a number of builds over the next few days as I finally the build scripts and then the rate to tapper off to every two weeks or as there are changes that seem to warrant it, I'm not building nightly for no reason, as RR 6.1 is reasonable stable at this time.
Note: Attached (build.sh) is the build script currently being used, it is a work in progress. and will be updated in case you more regular builds. You will need 12GB of Ram Ubuntu 16.04+ (I'm using 18.04 now, but I started with 16.04) and at least 360GB (SSD recommended) to build, and upto 6 hours for the initial run and then 2 for ever additional run.
Many thanks to phhusson for allowing me to post this based off of his work.
Changes, when I have something to report. Not all build will:
The 7/7 build includes a number of patches recommended by DocRambone.
Overlay support to force Apps fullscreen, Under Display->Advanced
Some cleanups to the UI for the round corners
Better LED support
The 7/8 build is the same as 7/7, but includes July security patches, I built it in order to match the official release.
The 7/24 build is again to match the official release
The 8/19 build is again to match the official release, note regression in status bar height I'm looking into.
Second post: will have details on what is working and not
Third Post: will have full instructions on installation, backup restore based on my experiences
* Stable is relative, for me if I consider it usable from day to day it is stable.

Instructions to flash, backup ...
WARNING: With 5.1.8 I had no WIFI, so I suggest sticking to 5.1.6 to 5.1.7 FOR THE MOMENT
Instructions to flash, backup ...
Total time required about 90 minutes
Pre-Reqs:
First and foremost:
Start with at least 5.1.6 (or greater, as of writing 5.1.7 was the lastest), there are Treble fixes in 5.1.6 we need.
Second
verify you have a good USB cable (the Red one shipped with the phone is best)
Three
download the oneplus drivers and abd
- USB Drivers: OnePlus 6 USB Drivers for Windows
- ADB/Fastboot: ADB/Fastboot latest mini
Install both to your local system
Four
Download the latest TWRP (get both the img and zip files)
TWRP for OnePlus 6
Five
Download the files(Treble OP6 Files 5.1.6) from:
GUIDE] How to flash Treble roms on OnePlus 6
Extract and keep: vbmeta.img (if you are on 5.1.X where is the boot version you can keep the boot.img as well, if not discard).
Six
Download the lastest Oxygen OS ZIP and bootloader from:
[OnePlus 6][ROM][OTA][Oxygen OS] Mirrors for official Oxygen OS ROMs and OTA updates
As of writing this is:
5.1.6 full image: OnePlus6Oxygen_22_OTA_010_all_1806070151_ad8b19ed516e78.zip
5.1.6 boot: OnePlus6Oxygen_22_OTA_010_all_1806070151_boot.img
Seven
Download Device ID:
Device+ID APK
Eight
Download Magisk for Treble:
Magisk modified for treble
Since as of 6/2018 the default magisk does not support Treble we need a special version I suggest: Magisk-v16.3-factory-faizauthar12-20180406.zip as teh latest I could find with support.
Nine
Recommended download fastboot installable 5.1.6 (or latest build):
[ROM][STOCK][FASTBOOT][OP6] Stock Fastboot ROMs for OnePlus 6
Ten
Include Overlay/Ambient Display.
Download APK at: [Overlay] Enable Night Light, Auto-Brightness, Ambient Display & more on Treble ROM
Eleven
OnePlus Camera:
OnePlus Camera APK's
Finally
Download RR 6.0 for Treble compiled after 7/08/2018:
Either download the gapps or go version (gapps is still a work in progress when I wrote this)
ROMs Google Drive
Getting Ready:
WARNING: you will loss all data on your phone, backup anything you want or need, first.
Make sure you can get to fastboot (enable "Advanced Reboot" in developers options and make sure that you can enter on a reboot by pressing volume-down and power at the same time)
Make sure you are on 5.1.6+ (5.1.6 was the latest firmware upon writing this)
Remove Any security you have set (just to be safe)
Reboot to fastboot (bootloader)
run:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
"You will be greeted with a Unlock Bootloader Warning page, Hit the Vol button to select Yes and turn it Blue and Hit the Power Button to Execute the selection, allow your device to reboot"
Backup EFS
If you have not already I'd recommend backing up EFS (to do so you need to be rooted, or else use TWRP):
Preferred, if rooted simply open a terminal and run:
Code:
su
dd if=/dev/block/sdf2 of=/sdcard/modemst1.bin bs=2048
dd if=/dev/block/sdf3 of=/sdcard/modemst2.bin bs=2048
Copy these files someplace safe!
If not rooted reboot to fastboot (bootloader):
Ensure that the latest twrp is in the same directory as fastboot (C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot) and run (3.2.1 was the lastest as of writing this):
Code:
fastboot.exe boot twrp-3.2.1-0-enchilada.img
This will boot the phone into twrp
Allow modification
Select backup
select only EFS and Modem
enter a meaningful name
swipe to backup
click "Reboot System" -> "Do not Install" for TWRP if asked.
You can now locate the backup under /storage/TWRP/BACKUPS and move it to a safe location off the phone.
Backup the Phone
Recommended if you care: Backup your entire phone using TWRP as well:
Ensure that the latest twrp is in the same directory as fastboot (C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot) and run (3.2.1 was the lastest as of writing this):
- fastboot.exe boot twrp-3.2.1-0-enchilada.img
This will boot the phone into twrp
Allow modification
Select backup
Select Everything except EFS and Modem
enter a meaningful name
swipe to backup
click "Reboot System" -> "Do not Install" for TWRP if asked.
You can now locate the backup under /storage/TWRP/BACKUPS and move it to a safe location off the phone.
Installing RR:
Finally we are ready to install RR (or any other Treble ROM), on the OnePlus 6. You will need a build from 6/7/2018 or later to have the required Vender-Hal to be present.
You will need to locate and install the AB version for the OnePlus 6.
Note: I'm using RR from 6/13 as the base for the guide: system-arm64-ab-gapps.img
SEE FIRST POST FOR CURRENT DOWNLOAD LOCATION I compiled this using phhusson's (Orginial Build Scripts)
instructions and a bit of setup on Linux. However most Treble base ROM's should work so long as they are from after 6/7/2018 in a similar manor.
* Remember this will wipe your device and you will loss all data *
First
boot in to fastboot (bootloader):
We need to go back to TRWRP and wipe internal storage and data to be safe, as the -w option to do so when flashing is not working for me.
- fastboot.exe boot twrp-3.2.1-0-enchilada.img
This will boot the phone into twrp
Allow modification
Select Wipe
Advanced Wipe
Select Cache, Data and "Internal Storage"
Swipe to Wipe
Click back until you are at the main menu
Click on Reboot
Click on Bootloader -> "Do not Install" for TWRP if asked.
Second
Flash the new ROM:
Flash vbmeta.img to remove validation
Code:
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
To be safe flash a default boot image (5.1.6 in this case)
Code:
fastboot flash boot_a boot.img
fastboot flash boot_b boot.img
Next reboot into recovery (you need to do this with volume down +Power, or selecting from bootload):
In stock recovery select English
Select Wipe Data and Cache
Reset system settings->yes->done
Wipe Cache->Yes->done
Erase everything->Thiscan not be undone, continue->done
back
Advanced
Reboot to fastboot->Reboot to fastboot
Now flash a the new ROM:
- fastboot flash system_a system-arm64-ab-gapps.img
- fastboot flash system_b system-arm64-ab-gapps.img
Three
reboot:
Code:
fastboot reboot
You will see the "andorid" boot screen (this is different that the Oxygen one) and being the first boot it could take a while. If you see no boot screen or it does not boot (give 10 minutes), then you likely need to repeat these steps again. If you boot into RR then continue.
You may get a Vender image mistake error ignore it it only appewars on boot.
Skip the Setup by clicking all four corners top left->top right->bottom right->bottom left (it my take more than one try), at this point you have no networking, that is what we want.
Suggestion make backup here as you have a working OS! -- Instructions to follow
Four
Move over required files: You now have RR installed and working:
Enable developer mode and then enable Advanced Reboot
Then copy over gapps-nano, Device+ ID.apk, magisk-manager apk and magisk installer zip to the phone
To get the magisk manager you need to extract it from the zip as I cloud not get the normal one to install. Extract the zip: Magisk-v16.3-factory-faizauthar12-20180406.zip copy common\magisk.apk to the phone
Five
Deal with: "Play Services not Certified by Google":
Install Device+ID (APK downloaed above) and Open
Once done open the second line shows the GSF ID for this device
Android Register GSF
Login using a gmail account (I suggest the one you use for the playstore)
Enter the GSF in the field, now we wait about 5 to 10 minutes for it to propigate
Reboot the phone as we want paly services to start fresh
First add a wIFI network.
Critical do not let any apps update until you have registered playstore, so if you see a notification saying downloading, select and click pause. Doing so with the updated 6/17 paystore resulted in a black screen where you would enter your password, no know work around other than reset if this happens.
click on playstore it should now start
Now login to your account and you should be go (it may take more than one attempt no idea why).
Now enable the update if previously paused
Update all Apps from the playstore before continuing, this may take a while give it 10 minutes
Optional: If you want remove Device+ID now (but I leave it as it is an easy way to get information).
You now have a working Playstore, if you have hung downloads then you may need to clear the cache for play services and the playstore I assume the unregistered might be the cause of them getting messed up.
Five
Install magisk:
Ensure you copied magisk zip and also the magisk manager apk to your phone, do not open, but click Done
Install the magisk manager, by locating the file in filemanager and selecting it.Reboot into fastbboot (bootloader) mode
Load TWRP:
Code:
fastboot.exe boot twrp-3.2.1-0-enchilada.img
Install
Select the magisk zip from the filesystem and flash
clear cache
Reboot->System (If asked about installing TWRP swipe to install)
Allow the phone to fully boot
Suggested: Reboot the phone
Suggested: disable checks for updates as 5.7 does not work with this build.
Root is now setup.
Six
Installer th onPlus camera:
Many people want the one plus camera, copy the apk downloaed above to the phone.
Open and install via a file manager
Seven
resize Data (as it will be only 11GB), the partitioon will be larger, depending on your devide se we will use TWRP and resize2fs to grow it.
Reboot into fastbboot (bootloader) mode
Load TWRP:
Code:
fastboot.exe boot twrp-3.2.1-0-enchilada.img
Advanced->Terminal
Code:
resize2fs /dev/block/sda17
Reboot System
Eight
Recommended, make a backup of your hard work:
Reboot into fastbboot (bootloader) mode
Load TWRP:
Code:
fastboot.exe boot twrp-3.2.1-0-enchilada.img
Select backup
Select Everything except EFS and Modem (as I'm unsure exactly which you need)
enter a meaningful name
swipe to backup
click "Reboot System" -> Swipe to reboot
Once back in RR copy the backup off the phone
Eight
Start using your OnePlus 6 with RR 6.0, rooted and with GAPPS
Nine
Upgrading:
Upgrading is simply replacing the system partitions and only these paritions (tested going from 6/13->6/16->6/17 builds)
Boot into fastboot (advanced reboot options)
Now flash the new system files:
- fastboot flash system_a new_system-arm64-ab-gapps.img
- fastboot flash system_b new_system-arm64-ab-gapps.img
Load TWRP:
Code:
fastboot.exe boot twrp-3.2.1-0-enchilada.img
Select Wipe
Advanced Wipe
Select Cache (and only Cache)
Swipe to Wipe
Reboot System
Ten
Restoring a Backup from TWRP
*This is a work in progress I can not work out how to do so safely*
Code:
fastboot.exe boot twrp-3.2.1-0-enchilada.img
Select Restore
Select the backup
Select Everything (other than EFS and Modem!)
Got to the main menu
Select Wipe
Advanced Wipe
Select Cache (and only Cache)
Swipe to Wipe
Reboot Fastboot
Eleven
Night Light, Ambient Display, requires Root:
My suggestion is not to do this if you care abut battery as I've seen major drain (even with Ambient display disabled, testing this).
Copy the apk downloaded framework-res__auto_generated_rro.apk to /vendor/overlays
Code:
mount -o rw,remount -t ext4 /vendor
cp <location of file> /vendor/overlay
chcon u:object_r:vendor_overlay_file:s0 /vendor/overlay;chcon u:object_r:vendor_overlay_file:s0 /vendor/overlay/framework-res__auto_generated_rro.apk
Reboot
Comments:
TWRP does not boot if flashed onto RR (the TWRP logo appears but it will not boot), this is currently only go to protect you from using the OnePlus Recovery and messing up RR. Flashing TWRP does not affect booting into RR.
TWRP DOES handle encryption without an issue, even a wrong first pin is not an issue
TWRP making a backup of Treble ROM, backup everything for now: Data, Boot, System, System Image, Vendor, Vendor Image.
If you have problems with hung downloads from the Playstore: Pending hung PlayStore
Wifi can be flaky (appearently this is a more general issue as even stock had some issues, I fixed them by only using either 2.4 or 5Mhz wireless, if I had both active I had constant disconnects.
Worst case, to recovery, back to Oxygen 5.1.6 if you end up in a boot loop stuck booting to rtecovery, etc:
- flash-all.bat
Reboot into recovery (you need to do this with volume down +Power, or selecting from bootload):
In stock recovery select English
Select Wipe Data and Cache
Reset system settings->yes->done
Wipe Cache->Yes->done
Erase everything->This can not be undone, continue->done
back
Advanced
Reboot to fastboot->Reboot
Load TWRP:
Code:
fastboot.exe boot twrp-3.2.1-0-enchilada.img
Copy the Oxygen full ROM back to the phone
Code:
adb push OnePlus6Oxygen_22_OTA_010_all_1806070151_ad8b19ed516e78.zip /sdcard
In TWRP
Install
Select OnePlus6Oxygen_22_OTA_010_all_1806070151_ad8b19ed516e78.zip
Go back to the root and select Advanced Wipe
Select Wipe
Advanced Wipe
Select Cache, Data and "Internal Storage"
Click on Reboot->Recovery (select Do not Install)
English
Wipe Cach and Data
Wipe Everything
Reboot
The phone will reboot same as the day it was made
If it does not then please refer to:
Mega Unbrick Guide for A Hard Bricked OnePlus 6
Note: Always boot fully at least once (I suggest twice and the first one is configuring android) before trying any steps above again.
Best of Luck, see a typo let me know

Thank you for putting so much hard work on this. Really much appreciated, will give it a try.
Might be a noob question, but due to treble, is the camera quality the same with the OnePlus app?

No.
Great rom, I especially like the fact that I can choose to install without gapps (prefer fdroid). One thing that is missing is ambient display, hopefully it will be fixed sooner or later.

Never said anything about results, only that it could be installed and works, (takes pictures), personally I do little with the camera and am not photographer, but it can be installed (link above) and installed.
Updated the working to remove any confusion.

It will never be the same as OOS stock. Because aside from there is no device tree provided by OnePlus, they will never release the camera blobs due to licensing issues. Once we get a stable and proper gcam port. It'll be better than the stock OOS cam or close
is a beautiful Rom, will there be an adaptation for twrp? I have to use the gapps, because at the go version Wear OS does not work. and in the gapp version would be nice if the smartbar was running. Unfortunately, the kill app does not work ( I can not use xposed, then my bank app will not work anymore

TWRP not for now as treble is build as an image, but you should be able to flash using twrp just switch to img (though I have not tested that).
The GApps version is posted the 6/18 is working great, see second post.
As for Banking I'm unsure if any Treble based ROM passed the checks, as with or without root, as they appear as unsigned.
As for smartbar, I'll give it a try when I get a chance, as I do not use it personally.

crDroid is built on top of LineageOS, and is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device, while also attempting to bring you many of the best features in existence today.
Features
A quick glossary and primer on slots for A/B devices (like ours):
Spoiler: Show/Hide
- "Clean flash": Removing device protection & clearing user settings before installing a bootable system install zip (usually by either wiping or formatting data, see below).
- "Dirty flash": Flashing a ROM zip (usually upgrading to new version, sometimes just re-flashing the existing one) without wiping data or anything first.
- "Wipe data": Synonymous with "factory reset", accomplished from TWRP recovery by selecting "Wipe", then performing the "Slide to factory reset". Clears user data without erasing any partitions, removing encryption, or deleting contents of internal storage.
- "Format data": Formats the data partition itself, resets all file-based encryption keys, loses all contents of internal storage, and in fact deletes all "user 0" directories (this has some implications for internal storage before & after first boot).
- "User 0" directories are a series of directories that store userdata for the primary user, "Owner", and get created in various places throughout the filesystem on first system boot if they don't exist already. Anything you copy to "internal storage" while booted in recovery after "formatting data" will actually be copied to /data/media/ instead of /data/media/0/, and will become invisible to regular file browsing after first boot once the system has created /data/media/0, since the system will prefer to use that path for internal storage from then on (so you'll need a root file browser to delete things from /data/media, or just ADB sideload things instead of copying after formatting but before booting).
- "OTA package": Originally an abbreviation for "over the air", referring to how a software update could be delivered (as opposed to having to take your phone to a carrier's store for a firmware update via serial/USB connection). The common usage in Android circles is any installation zip file that actually includes a bootable system.
- Some partitions are duplicated (system, vendor, boot, and probably a couple others, but not data) and have a "slot A" & "slot B" copy.
- "Slot A" and "slot B" are absolute designations, but most installer zip scripts use the relative designations: "active" and "inactive". Whichever slot you're booted from currently is "active", and the other one is "inactive".
- Installing a zip file that's flagged as being an OTA package will 1) install the contents to the "inactive" slot, and then 2) flag the bootloader to switch which slot is considered "active" (and booted from) and "inactive" upon next reboot.
- The OxygenOS full OTA zip files and all custom ROM installer zip files are considered "OTA packages" and will trigger a slot switch on next boot after installation.
- You can install multiple OTA zip packages one after the other without rebooting in TWRP; they will all get installed into the correct partitions in the "inactive" slot, one on top of the other, and then it will swap active & inactive upon reboot.
- We don't use what are called "delta" updates, which can patch existing partitions by block or by file; we use full filesystem images. So for us, OTA zip packages are really just a bunch of partition filesystem image files all wrapped up into a "payload.bin" with some extra instructions & metadata/checksums, so when you flash a ROM, it overwrites entire partitions at a time instead of individual files or filesystem blocks within that partition. So if you've changed something in a partition like system that gets written as part of flashing an OTA zip, all your changes are gone. The only thing in the system partition afterward will be what was in the system.img that was included in the ROM zip payload.
- The partitions that crDroid, LineageOS, and most custom ROMs for OnePlus 6 & 6T install to when flashing are boot (contains recovery & kernel), dtbo, system, and vbmeta. Some ROMs (like Syberia) build the vendor partition from source instead of just trying to work with the existing OEM vendor partition, so they flash that one too when installing. So you definitely need to flash stock vendor before switching from Syberia or another source-built vendor ROM to one like Lineage or crDroid that uses prebuilt.
- "Prebuilt vendor" vs. "source-built" vendor partitions: when first trying to get a custom ROM working on a new device now that we have separate system & vendor partitions & Google's "Project Treble" is a thing, you'll often just leave the contents of the vendor partition alone, because that's where all the proprietary or device-specific stuff lives (manufacturer specific hardware drivers & interfaces, any DRM libraries, custom frameworks & selinux policies for talking to them), and you make a compatibility map of what framework versions you're compiling against in system and what vendor version they're compatible with or supersede or you overlay updated things that should replace stuff in the vendor partition and keep it in system_ext instead. But you're also limited in that if there are some things in vendor, you CAN'T work around it from the ROM side (like, OnePlus Camera working correctly). So often, once the basics are functioning, the goal is to move to building the contents of the vendor partition from source, because you then have the freedom to fix problems with sepolicy, library/framework mismatches, etc. and make things work with the custom ROM instead of only working with the OEM's flavor of Android, and you can still copy individual pre-compiled files from the stock vendor filesystem image if needed (like if there's no open-source equivalent for some driver). Unfortunately, OnePlus SDM845 (enchilada & fajita, the OP6 & OP6T) never got a proper source-built vendor bringup by the LineageOS team (upon which crDroid is based). And while Syberia has had source built vendor in Android 11 (possibly 10?), it was only done for enchilada and NOT fajita, it's not trivial to unroll & commonize what they've done to apply to other ROMs, and some of the proprietary files they keep are imported from other similar devices/similar chipsets rather than source-built (presumably because the OnePlus ones are modified in a weird way that the open-source components can't hook into, but still not ideal). So for fixing a lot of the issues we still face with lack of things working quite right, or hardware features not available in custom ROMs (especially compared to newer OnePlus devices like the 7, 8, or 9 series), we're kinda stuck, because you can't just implement it against the stock prebuilt vendor.
- "Updating firmware" simply means we're flashing updated contents from the manufacturer into all the OTHER partitions besides the ones that the ROM OTA zip touches. There are another dozen or more of those, besides system & boot, that the full OxygenOS OTA zip would normally write to when you install it. The contents of the system partition in custom ROMs for our device are generally built against a particular version of OxygenOS (mostly the contents of the OEM vendor partition).
Prerequisites:
- Make sure your bootloader is unlocked (and don't plan on relocking it ffs).
- Make sure you have a reasonably-current, working installation of android platform tools (adb & fastboot command line binaries & necessary drivers) on your computer, with a known-good USB cable (see links in post #2).
- Make sure you've downloaded the most recent full Android 10 OxygenOS OTA installer zip (10.3.12), crDroid zip, matching crDroid boot.img, official TWRP 3.5.2_9-0 installer zip and bootable img, and whatever Magisk/GApps/microG installation packages you want to use to your computer (see links in post #2).
- Make sure you've backed up whatever data you want to keep to somewhere that's not on your phone; for a new install, we're going to format the data partition and you're going to lose everything from internal storage.
Let's get started!
Updating firmware (if already on crDroid):
- Reboot to bootloader (with no USB cable connected).
- Open a terminal on your computer, and run `fastboot flash boot path/to/boot.img`, substituting in the path & filename for the current crDroid boot.img that you downloaded as part of the prerequisites.
- Reboot to bootloader again (actually loads new bootloader that you just flashed).
- Use Vol +/- buttons to select "Recovery mode" and press Pwr button to boot into the built-in TWRP recovery. The device's internal storage should now be available for read/write on the computer via MTP.
- Copy the official OxygenOS 10.3.12 full OTA zip & latest crDroid zip into the device's internal storage, then choose "Install", select the current crDroid zip, choose "Add more zips", and crDroid installer zip, then swipe to confirm flash. No TWRP zip required, since it's built in to the boot.img that gets installed.
- Reboot recovery, then choose "Install", and select the OOS zip, then select "Add more zips" and choose the crDroid zip, and swipe to confirm flash again.
- Reboot recovery, and re-flash magisk/gapps if needed.
- Wipe dalvik.
- Reboot system.
First time installing crDroid to your OP6T, coming from stock OxygenOS or another ROM (will also update firmware while we're at it):
- Reboot to bootloader, then `fastboot boot path/to/twrp.img` to start up into TWRP recovery.
- Mount System partition read-write, use file manager to delete the /system/addons.d/ directory if it exists, unmount System.
- Choose Wipe > Format data, type "yes" and hit enter to nuke everything in the data partition and clear encryption.
- Choose Advanced > ADB sideload (don't worry about selecting cache/dalvik wipe options yet) and then on the computer, do `adb sideload path/to/OxygenOSOTA.zip` to flash the OxygenOS 10.3.12 full OTA installation zip & make sure you're on the latest Android 10 firmware.
- Go get a drink, this'll be a bit.
- When that's done, hit "back" in TWRP and start ADB sideload again, and this time send the crDroid installation zip (includes TWRP built-in, so don't need separate zip for that at this point).
- Reboot to recovery (this will switch the active slot to use the system partition you just installed those zip files into).
- Wipe data (Wipe > "Slide to factory reset" in TWRP).
- That was so much fun, let's do it again! ADB sideload OxygenOS full OTA zip.
- ADB sideload crDroid zip.
- Reboot to recovery (switches slots again, now we have latest OxygenOS firmware plus crDroid populated in both sets of partitions and won't have to do that again).
- Flash Magisk (if desired).
- Flash GApps or microG package (if desired).
- Wipe dalvik.
- If you copied anything to internal storage instead of flashing it via ADB sideload, delete it now before first boot.
- Reboot system.
- Go through setup wizard.
- Reboot system (for reasons I don't comprehend, it never shows "OnePlus Settings" in the Settings app top level menu on a fresh install until after rebooting once).
- It's gonna harass you to finish setup, go ahead and customize everything to your heart's content.
Updating crDroid from TWRP (preferred):
You don't need to remove device protection; it works fine with PIN. Be sure you have a PIN set, or have looked up whatever that arcane chart of pattern > numeric incantations in case of pattern unlock. It's awful.
- Boot into TWRP recovery.
- Choose install, then select OOS firmware OTA (if needed), then choose select additional zips, then select crDroid.zip, slide to confirm flash.
- Reboot recovery.
- Choose install, then select Magisk zip (if using), select additional zips, choose GApps/microG (if using), slide to confirm flash.
- Please keep off of the grass, shine your shoes, wipe your... dalvik.
- Reboot system.
Updating crDroid from Updater app:
Warning: I don't remember if crDroid 6 even *has* the built-in Updater app function or not, or how well it handles addon.d survival scripts. Use with caution.
- Install update in built-in Updater app (Settings > System > Updater), do NOT reboot yet.
- Go to Magisk app home, click "Install" next to Magisk, and choose the "Install to Inactive Slot (After OTA)" method.
- For GApps/microG: If you use GApps/microG that needs to be re-flashed to /system (as opposed to magisk module GApps/microG), reboot *recovery* at this point, mount the system partition in TWRP, and dig around with the File Manager in system/priv-app/ & system/product/priv-app/ to make sure that everything you expect was copied over to the now-currently-active slot, and if need be re-flash your installer zip, or else your world will be pain when you boot normally. Yes, I expect you to know what your preferred package installs & to keep the zip handy.
- NOW you can reboot to system.
Reporting bugs:
I'm a parent of three young kids whose industry disappeared in the pandemic and is now full-time house husband & parent-in-charge while my wife is teaching full-time, I'm trying to save my small live-event-turned-streaming-studio company in my spare time. I'm doing in-home caregiving for a family member overnight one day a week. This is the back-up spare-spare-time hobby. I'm not a software developer nor do I know any programming languages, I just wanted a ROM with signature spoofing support and more customization than the unofficial microg-compatible LineageOS builds. So if there are bugs or feature requests, I go over to the crDroid dev chat and ask if someone has time to hold my hand & help. Don't make me get yelled for annoying them, mmkay? That said...
- Logs/screenshots/recordings or it didn't happen. Syslog (free, open source, available on Play store and F-droid) is your friend.
- I try to keep an organized notebook of roadmap, feature reqeusts, bug reports, etc. I won't always be able to fix it, but I'll at least look and do my best to ask the actual devs.
- I don't sign into XDA much, so if I haven't said anything, check out the Telegram group. Lots of helpful folks there.
- Please keep your questions in this thread instead of PMing me with them directly, so that the entire class can benefit from the discussion and you can find out if it's just you or if this is a widespread issue.
It's your device to use the way you want of course, and I use Magisk & microG and like to tweak things myself. But don't expect much support if you:
- didn't do a clean flash.
- aren't using the built-in kernel.
- are using extensive modifications (besides Magisk) like Xposed/Riru, Dolby Atmos, Viper4A, etc.
- immediately start using "finalize.zip" or flashing migrate restore zips instead of following the actual instructions.
- are running decrypted.

Notes:
- Yes it supports package signature spoofing permission for microG compatibility out of the box (but will work without ANY GApps/microG implementation installed as well).
- Aux camera doesn't work correctly due to framework issues beyond my control/comprehension. So, still no portrait mode in OnePlusCamera in cr6. But 60fps video recording in OOSCam works great; huzzah!
- Doesn't pass safetynet out of the box, despite many tests with different fingerprints/props. Just use Magisk & enable the Zygisk DenyList & kdrag0n's "safetynet-fix" module and be happy. If your bank's app doesn't work, switch to a local credit union and stop feeding the bougie bankers. Smash capitalism!
- Maintainer does not use GApps, so cannot answer questions about which packages work best from firsthand experience. In general, go with the smallest package you can and then install other Google apps from the Play Store. Please note that if you replace the stock dialer with Google Dialer, you may lose access to the Phone Info menu (*#*#4636#*#*) until you install another dialer. For recommendations, see https://wiki.lineageos.org/gapps.
- Requires OOS 10.3.12 OOS firmware.
- Includes built-in TWRP, pulled from official 3.5.2_9-0 ramdisk, works well.
- Tested against latest Magisk canary (with zygisk instead of magiskhide), works well.
- No there won't be official builds with inline GApps; please don't ask.
crDroid 6.27 - February 2022 ASB release notes/known issues:
Changelog since v6.23 release:
- Merged Android Security Bulletins through February 2022 from upstream.
- Whatever changed upstream in the ROM proper (not likely much; they want to freeze it besides security updates).
- Reimplemented DeviceSettings based on crDroid 7 version (no more greyed-out things that don't actually work in Android 10).
- Backported updated display panel handling in device tree and kernel to match crDroid 7 (panel color modes are in LiveDisplay now). FOD on fajita is still kinda crap with OOS 10 firmware, but oh well.
- Little more tidying/tightening in device tree & kernel for moving to maintenance-only releases.
- Imported current wireguard VPN kernel-mode driver.
Known issues:
Fajita-specific:
- FOD seems to work kinda, um, crap compared to how it is on OOS 11 firmware. Not much I can do about that, unfortunately.
Common:
- Some screen-off gestures may not work, due to limitations beyond my control; don't use those gestures. Sorry.
- You tell me! With logs!
Other stuff:
- At this point, any little feature bugs will be considered "can't fix/won't fix"; I can't keep working on this one, I'm going to try to only do security-update-only releases of crDroid v6.
- Where do bad rainbows go? Prism. It's a light sentence.
Helpful links:
Download ROM
TWRP (use old official v3.5.2_9-0)
(TWRP is built-in to the crDroid 6 zip, but you might need the img or standalone installer zip in order to get to that point)
Magisk (use latest)
OxygenOS 10.3.12 Full OTA
MSMTool (oh now you're in trouble - use latest unless you have a good reason to intentionally downgrade)
first to test it...just flashing it...hope its better than every 10 rom that are available currently!!!!
It's early in development. They are all going to have that 'new car smell'. Lower expectations. Bare bones but stable is a milestone.
Hello everyone, firstly thanks Dev and team for your efforts developing CRDroid, question... where can I download android 10? Because the website only shows Pie downloads and 10 only says soon. Thanks guys and have a good day.

go to pie downloads, there you will find a 6.x folder to
All downloaded ready to flash when I get home
Thanks for the rom dev?
Let the game begin, I'm almost done restoring everything, clean flash including internal storage. It booted fine, no issues whatsoever, everything is running nice and smooth, wifi, wifi calling, Bluetooth, FP. Thanks Dev. and team.
So when I click on "wallpapers" on home screen, it says app isn't installed. So, is there any fix?

Yep just opinions is all I ask for, I don't care much for hierarchy, so not necessarily looking for one thing better over another, I just know 10's in the early stages and I'm not even thinking about jumping over yet, I just like to hear what people think.

crDroid is built on top of LineageOS, and is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device, while also attempting to bring many of the best features in existence today.
Features
A quick glossary and primer on slots for A/B devices (like ours):
Spoiler: Show/Hide
- "Clean flash": Removing device protection & clearing user settings before installing a bootable system install zip (usually by either wiping or formatting data, see below).
- "Dirty flash": Flashing a ROM zip (usually upgrading to new version, sometimes just re-flashing the existing one) without wiping data or anything first.
- "Wipe data": Synonymous with "factory reset", accomplished from TWRP recovery by selecting "Wipe", then performing the "Slide to factory reset". Clears user data without erasing any partitions, removing encryption, or deleting contents of internal storage.
- "Format data": Formats the data partition itself, resets all file-based encryption keys, loses all contents of internal storage, and in fact deletes all "user 0" directories (this has some implications for internal storage before & after first boot).
- "User 0" directories are a series of directories that store userdata for the primary user, "Owner", and get created in various places throughout the filesystem on first system boot if they don't exist already. Anything you copy to "internal storage" while booted in recovery after "formatting data" will actually be copied to /data/media/ instead of /data/media/0/, and will become invisible to regular file browsing after first boot once the system has created /data/media/0, since the system will prefer to use that path for internal storage from then on (so you'll need a root file browser to delete things from /data/media, or just ADB sideload things instead of copying after formatting but before booting).
- "OTA package": Originally an abbreviation for "over the air", referring to how a software update could be delivered (as opposed to having to take your phone to a carrier's store for a firmware update via serial/USB connection). The common usage in Android circles is any installation zip file that actually includes a bootable system.
- Some partitions are duplicated (system, vendor, boot, and probably a couple others, but not data) and have a "slot A" & "slot B" copy.
- "Slot A" and "slot B" are absolute designations, but most installer zip scripts use the relative designations: "active" and "inactive". Whichever slot you're booted from currently is "active", and the other one is "inactive".
- Installing a zip file that's flagged as being an OTA package will 1) install the contents to the "inactive" slot, and then 2) flag the bootloader to switch which slot is considered "active" (and booted from) and "inactive" upon next reboot.
- The OxygenOS full OTA zip files and all custom ROM installer zip files are considered "OTA packages" and will trigger a slot switch on next boot after installation.
- You can install multiple OTA zip packages one after the other without rebooting in TWRP; they will all get installed into the correct partitions in the "inactive" slot, one on top of the other, and then it will swap active & inactive upon reboot.
Prerequisites:
- Make sure your bootloader is unlocked (and don't plan on relocking it ffs).
- Make sure you have a reasonably-current, working installation of android platform tools (adb & fastboot command line binaries & necessary drivers) on your computer, with a known-good USB cable (see links in post #2).
- Make sure you've downloaded the most recent full Android 10 OxygenOS OTA installer zip (10.3.12), crDroid zip, matching crDroid boot.img, official TWRP 3.5.2_9-0 installer zip and bootable img, and whatever Magisk/GApps/microG installation packages you want to use to your computer (see links in post #2).
- Make sure you've backed up whatever data you want to keep to somewhere that's not on your phone; for a new install, we're going to format the data partition and you're going to lose everything from internal storage.
Let's get started!
Updating firmware (if already on crDroid):
- Reboot to bootloader (with no USB cable connected).
- Open a terminal on your computer, and run `fastboot flash boot path/to/boot.img`, substituting in the path & filename for the current crDroid boot.img that you downloaded as part of the prerequisites.
- Reboot to bootloader again (actually loads new bootloader that you just flashed).
- Use Vol +/- buttons to select "Recovery mode" and press Pwr button to boot into the built-in TWRP recovery. The device's internal storage should now be available for read/write on the computer via MTP.
- Copy the official OxygenOS 10.3.12 full OTA zip & latest crDroid zip into the device's internal storage, then choose "Install", select the current crDroid zip, choose "Add more zips", and crDroid installer zip, then swipe to confirm flash. No TWRP zip required, since it's built in to the boot.img that gets installed.
- Reboot recovery, then choose "Install", and select the OOS zip, then select "Add more zips" and choose the crDroid zip, and swipe to confirm flash again.
- Reboot recovery, and re-flash magisk/gapps if needed.
- Wipe dalvik.
- Reboot system.
First time installing crDroid to your OP6, coming from stock OxygenOS or another ROM (will also update firmware while we're at it):
- Reboot to bootloader, then `fastboot boot path/to/twrp.img` to start up into TWRP recovery.
- Mount System partition read-write, use file manager to delete the /system/addons.d/ directory if it exists, unmount System.
- Choose Wipe > Format data, type "yes" and hit enter to nuke everything in the data partition and clear encryption.
- Choose Advanced > ADB sideload (don't worry about selecting cache/dalvik wipe options yet) and then on the computer, do `adb sideload path/to/OxygenOSOTA.zip` to flash the OxygenOS 10.3.12 full OTA installation zip & make sure you're on the latest Android 10 firmware.
- Go get a drink, this'll be a bit.

- ADB sideload crDroid zip.
- Reboot to recovery (switches slots again, now we have latest OxygenOS firmware plus crDroid populated in both sets of partitions and won't have to do that again).

- Wipe dalvik.
- If you copied anything to internal storage instead of flashing it via ADB sideload, delete it now before first boot.

Warning: I don't remember if crDroid 6 even *has* the built-in Updater app function or not, or how well it handles addon.d survival scripts. Use with caution.
- Install update in built-in Updater app (Settings > System > Updater), do NOT reboot yet.
- Go to Magisk app home, click "Install" next to Magisk, and choose the "Install to Inactive Slot (After OTA)" method.
- For GApps/microG: If you use GApps/microG that needs to be re-flashed to /system (as opposed to magisk module GApps/microG), reboot *recovery* at this point, mount the system partition in TWRP, and dig around with the File Manager in system/priv-app/ & system/product/priv-app/ to make sure that everything you expect was copied over to the now-currently-active slot, and if need be re-flash your installer zip, or else your world will be pain when you boot normally. Yes, I expect you to know what your preferred package installs & to keep the zip handy.
- NOW you can reboot to system.

Any bugs or something not working?
Will try this weekend.
Thank you dev
Hello, I flashed rom yesterday.
I've got 1 issue. Fingerprint unlock doesn't work. I mean fingerprint sensor works because I can set up a fingerprint. But when phone is locked (screen on or off) I can't unlock it.
Maybe this is Gapps related? (I used Nano beta from october). Not rooted
Rom is fast and responsive. No other bug/ lag or freezes so far.
If anyone can help me with fingerprint unlock it would be much appreciated.
Have a nice day.

I assume you used the 'Green Box' link in Sourceforge? That always trips people up. That link is the latest ROM across all crDroid devices. (Currently the OP5 'Cheeseburger') Or next time actually read the file name before flashing.
Ignore that Green Box. Just pretend it doesn't exist. Use the links underneath to get the Enchilada downloads.

does it supports signature spoofing?
just tried moving from havoc 2.9 (pie) to crd6 (q), but unfortunately at this point no twrp can handle Q OOS flashing (to bring firmware to up to Q levels), latest available twrp is Mauronofrio's 3.3.1.4 so if anyone succeeds in flashing stock followed by CrD6 on a later/another twrp, would love to hear the success story...
for now, someone suggested only a local upgrade route within ota, but you end up without a functioning twrp environment which is probably too much hassle for most, so we will wait on the sidelines for a bit longer.
hope this helps!
What the latest fw is required pie or Q beta 1?

Can be flashe with oos 10 base ?
OOS stable for Oneplus 6T Global
This thread is an attempt to make things clean for OP6T users.
It will contain latest zip links for OOS stable.
It will contain a brief guide on how to root, install TWRP , how to update with or without those elements.
6T global edition is supported by thread readers and me, and T Mobile converted specific concerns will be handled by community under the supervision of @Scott, thanks to him for the help.
It will not contain basics like ADB and Fastboot connection with a computer. Experiment, read, there are many and many tutorials on the internet for that. Don’t forget there is a world outside XDA and that you can perform a search on any search engine to grab information.
It will not cover by decision the ‘patching boot.img’ method for gaining root. It’s not necessary to use it when we have a working TWRP and Fastboot. If you want to try it search on the internet about ‘extracting boot.img from payload.bin’ and then use Magisk Manager to patch it.
Please NO discussion about: Magisk itself, custom kernels, debloating (whatever method you want to use), custom ROMS… Only STOCK STABLE OOS.
If you just want to flash custom kernels, no need to have TWRP, Ex Kernel Manager and Franco Kernel Manager for example can take care of that (see Play Store to grab those apps), and backup your stock kernel.
ALWAYS USE LATEST VERSIONS of the different tools used. Don’t ask for help if you’re using 6 months old TWRP or Magisk. Update it first.
First a bit of what I have understood about our phone, and its main specificity, i.e A/B slots.
A/B slots, what else ?
This structure is meant to enable to have two different versions of the SAME ROM, one slot will contain the previous version of the ROM, the other slot will contain the updated one. If you are on slot A and running 10.3.0, the update process will lead to have 10.3.0 on slot A and 10.3.1 on slot B. On next boot the bootloader will automatically boot updated one (i.e slot B will be flagged as the active one). In case of issues during boot process the bootloader will switch the active slot back to the ‘old’ version(here slot A) that was booting fine.
This means that IT’S NOT a dual boot feature!! If you want to run a custom ROM it’s better to have the same custom ROM on both slots and not a mix of OOS and custom ROM. But that’s already OT so let’s stay focus, each custom ROM should provide clear instructions about that.
Having a slot phone means that there is no Recovery partition. So if you ‘fastboot flash boot twrp.img’ it will overwrite your boot partition and thus the ROM kernel and can lead to issues. The .img file is only meant to be temporarly booted. Recovery (stock or TWRP) is a part of the boot ramdisk.
Some simple facts about slots and flashing in TWRP:
Flashing a whole ROM (OOS for example) will automatically flash it to the currently inactive slot and switch it to be the active one (that works also with stock recovery, when performing a ‘local update’)
Flashing a ROM overwrites completely the boot partition (in recent Android versions, flashing process is using partition RAW images and not files like it was before): that means that TWRP and Magisk (if present) will be ERASED.
Flashing TWRP installer will flash it AUTOMATICALLY ON BOTH SLOTS (and will erase Magisk if present)
Magisk (and GAPPS but it only applies to custom ROMs), when flashed with TWRP is only flashed in ACTIVE slot. That’s why you must REBOOT to recovery BEFORE flashing Magisk to have it installed on the active updated slot. And that explains why you must flash it last.
That said, if you stay on OOS, YOU DON’T care about slots, just remember those basics to understand why you have to respect some steps, and let the recovery take care of slots. Messing manually with them results often in soft bricks
Downloads
OOS stable full signed zips: thanks to @Some_Random_Username, @Titokhan, @trollavin (their thread here)
If the above doesn’t work anymore just let me know I’ll find something else.
FYI you can still go to Oneplus website but they take time to update it to latest version… And there is no archives.

ROOTING (+/- TWRP)
Magisk zip is to be found here
TWRP latest .img and installer are to be found here
Don’t use all-in-one tools, you’re a grown up person you can to it by yourself. Yes you can.
If you're not rooted and run an OOS version older than 10.3.1, update your phone normally to latest OOS stable version then do as below
If you’re not rooted and running 10.3.1 or higher, those are the simplest steps to gain root.
Unlock your bootloader (will wipe everything…): “fastboot oem unlock” from a computer (see beginning of OP to know why I don’t detail this) with phone in fastboot mode
Grab latest Magisk zip on your phone and latest TWRP .img on your computer (AND TWRP installer .zip on your phone if you want to install TWRP permanently). Boot in fastboot mode your phone.
Then :
“fastboot boot twrp_latest.img” (adapt to the name and path of your twrp file)
within TWRP, flash TWRP installer .zip if you want to keep TWRP
flash Magisk zip (always AFTER flashing TWRP)
Reboot
(you can theoretically use the TWRP feature ‘install recovery ramdisk’ to avoid flashing twrp installer but never tested)
Note: please STOP using blue_spark TWRP!!! Support for OP6T has been stopped long time ago, only OP6 twrp is still actively supported by eng.stk (errors are mandatory if you flash it on 6t). I even see people that use a 3.2.x version of blue_spark...
UPDATING WITHOUT ROOT
If your bootloader is locked (meaning no root no TWRP, factory state), the update process is trivial, OOS (or Oxygen Updater if you use it) will grab a patch file (around 100MB max usually) and will apply it and will ask you to reboot. Everybody should be able to do this as it’s the normal way every phone on earth updates itself… If major changes are present sometimes you’ll have the whole ROM file. It doesn’t matter anyway it leads to the same destination.
If your bootloader is unlocked but without root, the only difference is that OOS (or Oxygen Updater) will download the WHOLE ROM (around 1.8GB) and will apply it then ask for rebooting
UPDATING WITH ROOT (+/- TWRP)
Whole ROM update is mandatory. You can wait for System Update to download it or grab manually the zip file or use Oxygen updater. You then go in Settings > System > System Update > clic on the upper right cogwheel then choose ‘Local Update’ and select the zip file (If you download the OTA .zip file manually you must place it in the root of user data, like /data/media/0/ i.e the user internal storage, or eventually in the .OTA folder if there's one. If you use Oxygen Updater or System automatic donwload it will be right placed).
The following update method is the preferred one (even if you have TWRP, recommended by some TWRP devs) due to frequent changes in partitions by OnePlus
apply the ROM update via Settings > System > System Update > Local Update
DON’T REBOOT
Open Magisk Manager
[If you have TWRP, go in Modules menu, clic on ‘+’ and choose latest TWRP installer zip file on your phone. Don’t use Retention A/B Script Magisk Module I had issues with it] [then stay in Magisk Manager and do the next step]
On main screen of the app clic on ‘install’ next to Magisk paragraph
On the pop up menu confirm ’Install’
On the next pop up menu clic on the last entry: install on inactive slot (after OTA update)
Then only reboot.
The order can be changed (the most important thing to preserve is Magisk, TWRP is easy to flash back):
Update without taking care of TWRP, just Magisk part ("install to other slot after OTA thing")
Once rebooted to updated system, flash TWRP as a module with Magisk Manager
Install Magisk again using Magisk Manager ("direct install" option)
There are infinite debates about uninstalling or not Magisk Modules before updating. Most of the times nothing to touch, sometimes there could be issues, instead of uninstalling perhaps just inactivate them by precaution before updating.
Note: If you are rooted and run an OOS version older than 10.3.1, the above method should work, but you can also update your ROM to latest stable without taking care of root/TWRP and then root again as described in post #2
If you want to try TWRP way:
Reboot to TWRP
Flash OOS update
Flash TWRP installer
Reboot to Recovery
Flash Magisk
Reboot System
IF YOU ARE INTO A SOFT BRICK
Don't forget the Vol+/Vol-/Power_button combo that can save you from a non responding phone...
If you can boot in fastboot mode, flash the stock ROM with fastboot. A little trick is to edit the flash-all-partitions**.bat and remove ‘-w’ (-w means that the partition will be wiped before flashing) from the script, it will prevent personal data wipe. Or flash manually all partitions one by one, without ‘-w’ flag evidently. Some partitions can’t be flashed with fastboot, for that once booted back to OOS, download and install by ‘local update’ method the same ROM version you’ve just restored with fastboot (see the linked thread to know why, emojis issues for example sometimes).
If you can’t go in fastboot mode, use Oneplus MSM tool. See there and there.
Thank you for the time and effort for this thread as I just came from a Sony XZ1 as I was a bit confused by the different posting on how to do what...
Thanks for a detailed post.

That sounds correct
Thank you for taking the time to do this. I am now subscribed
Very nice. Subscribed. Thank you.
I've been trying to do this for the past 8 hours.
Here's what I do, please tell me where am I going wrong
- msm 9.13
- update to 9.17
- local upgrade to 10.3.1
- boot system to enable oem unlock, usb debug
- boot to fb, unlock bootloader
- boot system
- boot fb, boot twrp
- flash twrp, both slots
- reboot twrp
here I get different results:
- try to install magisk, all internal storage encrypted. sideload, but still no cigar. try to install on both slots by rebooting twrp to a and b and sideloading magisk, still no cigar
OR
- flash magisk, boot system, no magisk
OR
System boots, we have root, we have everything, but file manager shows emptyness. Can't modify any files on internal storage. Via phone and via PC.
Now tell me what am I doing wrong, please

I think you should format data after unlock. I think it's kinda safety feature if some1 try to get into your storage by unlock bootloader. But wait by some1 to confirm

As far as the change log, that could be a challenge. I have never been able to find the full change log for the international version. The T-Mobile Version is here: https://www.t-mobile.com/support/devices/android/oneplus-6t/software-updates-oneplus-6t. Because this is something we can direct link to, I dont think it should be included in full text here on XDA. I think a link the in first or second post under "useful info" would be sufficient.
As far as the international version goes, I know every verison number by heart.. worst case scenario, I could just google each OTA version and grab the change log from the from the first Android news site that pops up. Unless someone else knows of where one might be at? We could also start at version 10.0.0 because I feel anything older than that is irrelevant.
For changelogs it could be done eventually by grabbing them on the net. There is clearly something between Oneplus and changelogs....
I'm ask for an extra reserved post to have more space and avoid too long posts.

Features
A quick glossary and primer on flashing & slots for A/B devices (like ours):
Spoiler: Show/Hide
- "Clean flash": Removing device protection & clearing user settings before installing a bootable system install zip (usually by either wiping or formatting data, see below).
- "Dirty flash": Flashing a ROM zip (usually upgrading to new version, sometimes just re-flashing the existing one) without wiping data or anything first.
- "Wipe data": Synonymous with "factory reset", accomplished from TWRP recovery by selecting "Wipe", then performing the "Slide to factory reset". Clears user data without erasing any partitions, removing encryption, or deleting contents of internal storage.
- "Format data": Formats the data partition itself, resets all file-based encryption keys, loses all contents of internal storage, and in fact deletes all "user 0" directories (this has some implications for internal storage before & after first boot).
- "User 0" directories are a series of directories that store userdata for the primary user, "Owner", and get created in various places throughout the filesystem on first system boot if they don't exist already. Anything you copy to "internal storage" while booted in recovery after "formatting data" will actually be copied to /data/media/ instead of /data/media/0/, and will become invisible to regular file browsing after first boot once the system has created /data/media/0, since the system will prefer to use that path for internal storage from then on (so you'll need a root file browser to delete things from /data/media, or just ADB sideload things instead of copying after formatting but before booting).
- "OTA package": Originally an abbreviation for "over the air", referring to how a software update could be delivered (as opposed to having to take your phone to a carrier's store for a firmware update via serial/USB connection). The common usage in Android circles is any installation zip file that actually includes a bootable system.
- Some partitions are duplicated (system, vendor, boot, and probably a couple others, but not data) and have a "slot A" & "slot B" copy.
- "Slot A" and "slot B" are absolute designations, but most installer zip scripts use the relative designations: "active" and "inactive". Whichever slot you're booted from currently is "active", and the other one is "inactive".
- Installing a zip file that's flagged as being an OTA package will 1) install the contents to the "inactive" slot, and then 2) flag the bootloader to switch which slot is considered "active" (and booted from) and "inactive" upon next reboot.
- The OxygenOS full OTA zip files and all custom ROM installer zip files are considered "OTA packages" and will trigger a slot switch on next boot after installation.
- You can install multiple OTA zip packages one after the other without rebooting in both the stock recovery and TWRP; they will all get installed into the correct partitions in the "inactive" slot, one on top of the other, and then it will swap active & inactive upon reboot.
- We don't use what are called "delta" updates, which can patch existing partitions by block or by file; we use full filesystem images. So for us, OTA zip packages are really just a bunch of partition filesystem image files all wrapped up into a "payload.bin" with some extra instructions & metadata/checksums, so when you flash a ROM, it overwrites entire partitions at a time instead of individual files or filesystem blocks within that partition. So if you've changed something in a partition like system that gets written as part of flashing an OTA zip, all your changes are gone. The only thing in the system partition afterward will be what was in the system.img that was included in the ROM zip payload.
- The partitions that crDroid, LineageOS, and most custom ROMs for OnePlus 6 & 6T install to when flashing are boot (contains recovery & kernel), dtbo, system, and vbmeta. Some ROMs (like Syberia) build the vendor partition from source instead of just trying to work with the existing OEM vendor partition, so they flash that one too when installing. So you definitely need to flash stock vendor before switching from Syberia or another source-built vendor ROM to one like Lineage or crDroid that uses prebuilt.
- "Prebuilt vendor" vs. "source-built" vendor partitions: when first trying to get a custom ROM working on a new device now that we have separate system & vendor partitions & Google's "Project Treble" is a thing, you'll often just leave the contents of the vendor partition alone, because that's where all the proprietary or device-specific stuff lives (manufacturer specific hardware drivers & interfaces, any DRM libraries, custom frameworks & selinux policies for talking to them), and you make a compatibility map of what framework versions you're compiling against in system and what vendor version they're compatible with or supersede or you overlay updated things that should replace stuff in the vendor partition and keep it in system_ext instead. But you're also limited in that if there are some things in vendor, you CAN'T work around it from the ROM side (like, OnePlus Camera working correctly). So often, once the basics are functioning, the goal is to move to building the contents of the vendor partition from source, because you then have the freedom to fix problems with sepolicy, library/framework mismatches, etc. and make things work with the custom ROM instead of only working with the OEM's flavor of Android, and you can still copy individual pre-compiled files from the stock vendor filesystem image if needed (like if there's no open-source equivalent for some driver). Unfortunately, OnePlus SDM845 (enchilada & fajita, the OP6 & OP6T) never got a proper source-built vendor bringup by the LineageOS team (upon which crDroid is based). And while Syberia has had source built vendor in Android 11 (possibly 10?), it was only done for enchilada and NOT fajita, it's not trivial to unroll & commonize what they've done to apply to other ROMs, and some of the proprietary files they keep are imported from other similar devices/similar chipsets rather than source-built (presumably because the OnePlus ones are modified in a weird way that the open-source components can't hook into, but still not ideal). So for fixing a lot of the issues we still face with lack of things working quite right, or hardware features not available in custom ROMs (especially compared to newer OnePlus devices like the 7, 8, or 9 series), we're kinda stuck, because you can't just implement it against the stock prebuilt vendor.
- "Updating firmware" simply means we're flashing updated contents from the manufacturer into all the OTHER partitions besides the ones that the ROM OTA zip touches. There are another dozen or more of those, besides system & boot, that the full OxygenOS OTA zip would normally write to when you install it. The contents of the system partition in custom ROMs for our device are generally built against a particular version of OxygenOS (mostly the contents of the OEM vendor partition), and we've recently had an entire major Android version update come through from OxygenOS. Some people are still on older firmware that is now dramatically different than what the current custom ROM was intended to deal with (that is, all the stuff from OxygenOS is still based on Android 10, while the ROM is expecting compatibility with Android 11), and while I tend to agree that OxygenOS 10 was better than the current state of OOS 11, that doesn't matter when you're talking about installing the custom ROM over it. So please, keep an eye out in the release notes for what the recommended/required firmware versions are, and remember to update (procedure below).
Notes on custom recoveries with OxygenOS 11 firmware:
Spoiler: Show/Hide
- My understanding (from people smarter than me) is that the android-11 tree of TWRP is kind of a mess at the moment. I had made some 3.6.0_11-0 unofficial builds for both enchilada & fajita, but now they don't even seem to boot and I don't know why. TWRP android-11 tree refuses to mount the system partition where it belongs, and so addon.d OTA survival scripts don't work correctly any longer (which means you're hosed if you use NikGapps and update while booted from a TWRP version ending in "11-0", or if you have Gapps installed as a module and forget to reboot recovery & re-flash Magisk after flashing an update from TWRP).
- Trying to `fastboot boot` an Android 9-based TWRP image (like official 3.5.2_9-0 twrp.img) after installing OxygenOS 11 doesn't work, and will drop you into Qualcomm Crash Dump mode. Don't try to flash it as your boot partion, either.
- Meanwhile, stock LineageOS-based recovery, for all its shortcomings, has working fastbootd (aka "Userspace fastboot", which is what happens when you go to "Advanced", then choose "Enter fastboot" and the background colors go from purple to orange) that lets you flash both slots at once and unlocks critical partitions, while the OnePlus OEM bootloader (where it says "Fastboot Mode" in a square, then goes to the big green "START" text over white & dark red terminal font type text) can't be used to flash every partition to update firmware. Personally, I still think of it as wannabe-class and not a "real" custom recovery until the Lineage team 1) implements userdata decryption so you can manage files in /data and install updates from internal storage, and 2) allows for a factory reset the way we've always all understood it ("wipe data") WITHOUT nuking the contents of internal storage for no good reason ("formatting data"). But since crDroid is LineageOS-based, it's what we've got, and fastbootd is the best way to update firmware.
- With all that being said, since it's likely TWRP will only get MORE broken with Android 12 looming large, we're officially only going to support the built-in LineageOS-based recovery & OTA updater moving forward, until things change dramatically. If you want to try different custom recoveries (new builds of TWRP, OrangeFox, PBRP, whatever), feel free; and let us know how it works! But you're on you're own doing that.
- And on the system update side, applying system OTA updates seems to work correctly using the built-in Updater tool (Settings > System > Updater) both with new OTA releases and when choosing a file from "Local Installation". It executes OTA survival scripts correctly from /system/addon.d/ as well. I've personally tested and it correctly preserved Magisk v23 canary and MindTheGapps & NikGapps (on tester fajita) and MinMicroG "system" install package on my daily driver enchilada.
- ...however it has an accidental dependency on Magisk, due to things beyond my control upstream in the ROM. Whoops. Won't work if you don't have Magisk installed.
- FLASHING the old official TWRP 3.5.2_9-0 INSTALLER zip (or newer) on top of OOS 11.x DOES seem to work for now, but you need to be in a recovery environment that allows you to flash that installer in the first place (either by booting into an already-installed TWRP recovery before updating firmware, or by having an Android 11 compatible recovery boot.img to be able to `fastboot boot`). I don't know if it'll keep working in Android 12 or with crDroid 8.
- Look, if you really want to stick with TWRP, I don't blame you. I made bootable Android 11 compatible TWRP images for enchilada & fajita back at 3.5.2, and they still work well enough to `fastboot boot` them and then flash the old official 3.5.2_9-0 installer zips. Look at the attachments at the end of post #2. Also, you may want to try one of Siddhesh's custom recoveries; they probably work even better.
- TL;DR: I prefer TWRP too but current official releases are kinda broken and it's a chore to get the old version installed correctly, so built-in LineageOS-based recovery and Updater app are the supported way to install & update moving forward.
Prerequisites:
- Make sure your bootloader is unlocked (and don't plan on relocking it ffs).
- Make sure you have a reasonably-current, working installation of android platform tools (adb & fastboot command line binaries & necessary drivers) on your computer, with a known-good USB cable (see links in post #2).
- Make sure you've downloaded the most recent full OxygenOS OTA installer zip (11.1.2.2), crDroid zip, matching crDroid boot.img, and whatever Magisk/GApps/microG installation packages you want to use to your computer (see links in post #2).
- Make sure you've backed up whatever data you want to keep to somewhere that's not on your phone; for a new install, we're going to format the data partition and you're going to lose everything from internal storage.
Let's get started!
Updating firmware:
- Reboot to bootloader (with no USB cable connected).
- If you're not already using the stock (LineageOS-based) recovery, you'll need to `fastboot flash boot path/to/boot.img`, substituting in the path & filename for the current crDroid boot.img that you downloaded as part of the prerequisites.
- Reboot to bootloader again (actually loads new bootloader that you just flashed).
- Use Vol +/- buttons to select "Recovery mode" and press Pwr button to boot stock recovery (white & purple on black color scheme, LineageOS logo in the middle).
- Tap "Advanced", then tap "Enter fastboot" (the already-selected first option), and color scheme should change from purple to orange.
- Follow the instructions for extracting the partition images from the official OxygenOS Updater full OTA zip you already downloaded using the "payload-dumper-go" utility, and flashing them one at a time, from https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/fajita/fw_update, except for the very last command ("fastboot reboot").
- Since those instructions were updated for Android 12, and this is still Android 11-based & depends on using the OxygenOS prebuilt vendor partition contents, you'll also need to run fastboot flash --slot=all vendor vendor.img at the end of the list of commands in the linked LineageOS Wiki article above.
- If you're only updating firmware and were already on crDroid, you can just "fastboot reboot" which will go back to system. If this is part of coming to crDroid from another ROM, continue with the instructions below.
First time installing crDroid to your OP6T, coming from stock OxygenOS 11.x or another ROM (stock LOS-based recovery):
- Update to OxygenOS 11.1.2.2 firmware as described above if you haven't already.
- At the end of that procedure, (re)flash the crDroid boot.img to the `boot` partition of both slots, then reboot to recovery.
- Once you're rebooted into stock recovery (and lo, it was most purple), ADB sideload the crDroid installation zip. It might prompt you with "Install anyway?" on the phone, so don't just walk away from it.
- After the adb sideload has finished and the purple menu at the top comes back, hit the back arrow, then choose "Wipe data" (which WILL format internal storage -- you backed up as noted above, right?).
- Reboot to recovery (causes it to switch slots so any further installations will be on top of the slot that it just installed crDroid into).
- ADB sideload Magisk and/or any GApps packages you want to use. Please note that any time you install something via ADB sideloading, that the install file is technically renamed "sideload.zip" in transit by the ADB protocol, which might cause problems with installers that try to get too clever for their own good and alter behavior based on renaming the installation zip (like MinMicroG), so you might have to get even MORE clever with changing up installation order (like flash MinMicroG/GApps before Magisk so it won't install as a module. I dunno, talk to the package installer authors to get them to just build multiple packages or talk to the LineageOS devs to allow you to decrypt internal storage, copy stuff to internal storage via MTP, and install stuff from internal storage like a proper custom recovery (or at least maybe `adb push` to an unencrypted temp dir in the data partition).
- Reboot system.
- ???
- Profit!
OTA updating from Updater app with OOS 11.x firmware (recommended):
- This is the preferred way now. You just go to Settings > System > Updater, and... install an update. It processes addon.d OTA survival scripts correctly (tested with Magisk, MinMicroG, MindTheGapps, and NikGapps).
- Please note that there's currently an accidental depencency on Magisk being installed for this to work. I don't know if this will get fixed; that's definitely above my pay grade. This appears to have been fixed; huzzah!
- If you're trying to do a "Local Install" of the downloaded zip, please note you NEED to download on a computer & transfer to internal storage via USB cable; downloading files from an app on the phone associates it with a particular app thanks to Android 11+ Scoped Storage/SAF bull**** and will cause the file to be unreadable to the updater app process.
-- Old TWRP-based instructions below the fold (not recommended, but keeping for historical value... probably not accurate but I'm not going to update them more) --
Spoiler: Show/Hide
OTA updating from TWRP with OOS 11.x firmware:
You don't need to remove device protection; it works fine with PIN. Be sure you have a PIN set, or have looked up whatever that arcane chart of pattern > numeric incantations in case of pattern unlock. It's awful.
- Boot into TWRP recovery.
- Choose install, then select crDroid.zip, select additional zips, choose the TWRP installer zip, then slide to confirm flash.
- Reboot recovery.
- Choose install, then select Magisk zip (if using), select additional zips, choose GApps/microG (if using), slide to confirm flash.
- Please keep off of the grass, shine your shoes, wipe your... dalvik.
- Reboot system.
OTA updating from TWRP with OOS 10.x firmware:
- Don't. Update firmware to 11.1.2.2 first.
Reporting bugs:
I'm a parent of three young kids whose industry disappeared in the pandemic and is now full-time house husband & parent-in-charge while my wife is teaching full-time, I'm trying to save my small live-event-turned-streaming-studio company in my spare time. I'm doing in-home caregiving for a family member overnight one day a week. This is the back-up spare-spare-time hobby. I'm not a software developer nor do I know any programming languages, I just wanted a ROM with signature spoofing support and more customization than the unofficial microg-compatible LineageOS builds. So if there are bugs or feature requests, I go over to the crDroid dev chat and ask if someone has time to hold my hand & help. Don't make me get yelled for annoying them, mmkay? That said...
- Logs/screenshots/recordings or it didn't happen. Either the built-in Matlog app, or Syslog (free, open source, available on Play store and F-droid) are your friends here.
- I try to keep an organized notebook of roadmap, feature reqeusts, bug reports, etc. I won't always be able to fix it, but I'll at least look and do my best to ask the actual devs.
- I don't sign into XDA much, so if I haven't said anything, check out the Telegram group. Lots of helpful folks there.
- Please keep your questions in this thread instead of PMing me with them directly, so that the entire class can benefit from the discussion and you can find out if it's just you or if this is a widespread issue.
It's your device to use the way you want of course, and I use Magisk & microG and like to tweak things myself. But don't expect much support if you:
- didn't do a clean flash.
- aren't using the built-in kernel.
- are using extensive modifications (besides Magisk) like Xposed/Riru, Dolby Atmos, Viper4A, etc.
- immediately start using "finalize.zip" or flashing migrate restore zips instead of following the actual instructions.
- are running decrypted.
- re-locked your bootloader for some reason... you're on a custom ROM; don't do that.

Notes:
- crDroid 7.x (based on Android 11 & LineageOS 18.1) is no longer being actively developed, and I don't know how long someone on the dev team will keep merging monthly security updates. I'll try to keep building releases as long as there are updates, but all my limited time is focused on 9.x/Android 13 bringup now. We're in maintenance mode now, so any outstanding bugs are likely to just remain for perpetuity.
- Yes it supports package signature spoofing permission for microG compatibility out of the box (but will work without ANY GApps/microG implementation installed as well).
- Maintainer does not use GApps, so cannot answer questions about which packages work best from firsthand experience. In general, go with the smallest package you can and then install other Google apps from the Play Store. Please note that if you replace the stock dialer with Google Dialer, you may lose access to the Phone Info menu (*#*#4636#*#*) until you install another dialer. For recommendations, see https://wiki.lineageos.org/gapps.
- Requires OOS 11.1.2.2 firmware (last official release). You should consider using an Android 10 ROM if you want to continue using Android 10 firmware.
- Tested against latest Magisk 24 (with zygisk instead of magiskhide), works well.
- No there won't be official builds with inline GApps; please don't ask.
crDroid 7.30 - May 2023 ASB release notes/changelog:
Changelog since v7.29 official release:
- Merged May 2023 Android Security Bulletin from upstream.
- Whatever the ROM dev team changed upstream in LineageOS and crDroid sources (not much? they're busy with Android 13).
- No changes to device-specific files.
Known issues:
Fajita-specific:
- If you use App Lock and/or Face Unlock, you'll likely run into issues with the FOD circle view starting to flicker randomly into view when it shouldn't be there (like it's not dismissing properly because one part of the security handling is fighting with or doesn't notify the other part that it's done and doesn't need to try to accept a fingerprint any longer). As a knock-on effect, this will also cause "Disable Night Light when FOD is visible" to freak out. I have one person who doesn't use either report that they were getting the random FOD circle anyway, so... if you're having this problem, please make sure you've given MatLog permission to manage files so that it can actually save logs to internal storage and capture a logcat & send it to me. Logs or it didn't happen, etc etc.
Common:
- No f2fs-formatted userdata support, sadly. Doesn't work with the prebuilt vendor partition required for this version of Android. You'll need to reformat data to ext4 before being able to boot (you can fastboot flash the crDroid 8.x or 9.x boot.img if you need a recovery that will let you choose).
- Google Hotword recognition might be kinda broken right now (on more than one custom ROM/device, not just us), and may cause some screw-up that prevents microphone audio from being allowed to go anywhere else if it's enabled.
- If you are stuck at "Android is starting..." looping endlessly, then press power, reboot to bootloader, and follow the instructions for updating firmware to OxygenOS 11.1.2.2 in the first post. It doesn't wipe data, you shouldn't lose anything.
- Some screen-off gestures may not work, due to limitations beyond my control; don't use those gestures. Sorry.

hi dev thanks for this rom i have successfully installed now, so there is a small info i like to share, that is installing any version of nikgapps apart from core nikgapps will result in bootloop or after even format the data, rom will boot but set up screen says it crashed, so i have installed with core version of nikgapps, rom booted successfully. that's all i have info to share now.
Hi dev ROM is working fantastically after installed all the application I used before, so thanks for it, it has enough customization thanks for it too.
Does NOT work on Verizon.
Hi devs i don't know the reason why this happening, the problem is when i change default launcher to nova launcher system ui automatically crashes, i can't specifically pinpoint the reason, but after launching the Paytm app for first time then paytm also crashed so i don't know what to do now. I have attached logcat from matlog so I think I have captured required info.
Thanks for the ROM. Where is the best place to get A11 gapps?

hi all,
I'm on fajita with crdroid 5.11 - Android 9.
i'd like to bump up to this thread's version. any tips for how to go about that - step by step?
I assume it would be something like -- update TWRP, update firmware, then flash rom as usual with instructions in first post?
many thanks

Hi LiveDisplay color profile doesn't work ,setting a profile ,once you exit it resets back to normal again
Excellent ROM.
Thanks!
Hi dev i attached a video, in which i try to explain a problem, i can't pinpoint say amazon app only having this kind of problem, but i can say irresponsible of which app suddenly ui will have some kind of problem, it will appear from nowhere after that phone will hang and i need to restart the phone or else battery drains very fast. Kindly look into it. I reinstalled the rom two time freshly, even though it having same kind of problem presist, but i really loved one good feature that is finger print working fantastic even after reboot. OS is not crashing and reboot by itself, app also not crashing but suddenly some part is acting wired. Anyway i will upload the video for proof. I have attached gif file as per xda rules.
I have one last idea in my head instead of using app called migrate to take back up of application installed in my phone and restore to newly installed rom. Better use play store to install all app one by one and see there is any difference, i really love this rom thats why i reinstalling freshly again and again to see any difference possible
I've never used micro g a whole lot in the past but I'm all for it now due to the unbelievable amount of permissions apps ask for and while I love Android I'm no Google person either. I flashed 7.2 CrDroid two days ago and didn't install gapps. Then I went back in twrp and flashed micro g and fdroid from (stable) nano droid installer thread here on XDA. Going to read up more about micro g ..etc.. Op, if you are testing anything that has to do with this or anything feel free to msg me anytime. Ill run whatever through everything possible and gather logs if need be and send them to you properly. Thanks for this rom!! Great job!! Always loved CrDroid! Think i 1st used CrDroid back in 2013 or so. Fantastic rom!! My Screen time on 7.2 CrDroid.

Yeah I feel you I'm right where you are I think it's time to ditch Google and get a similar setup. Wonder if there's a thread in the 6t section yet? Google still my friend she'll teach me how to set it up, lol
