  • What made you choose crdroid over stock lineageOS?

    When the google photos became a paid service crdroid was giving an option to do unlimited upload of photos by spoofing the device as pixel. It started like that and it gives more customization compared to lineageOS, so I stuck to it. I used both lineage and crdroid, there is no notable performance difference.

    BTW, I’m not longer using Google photos for backup, I setup a homesever and use immich as my backup solution.










  • I agree the software is bad. All my phones bought after nexus 4 was made by Xiaomi. They give option to unlock bootloader and flash custom rom.

    Not all the phones get official lineage os support, but almost all snapdragon versions get custom rom support.

    I gave my Redmi Note 4 to my mom, which is 6 years old and running latest OS with recent security patches. None of the other OEMs were supported upto this period (just give exception to Samsung Galaxy 2).










    • It was open-sourced a long time back after the dev felt the number of users who bought and the amount of time he spent didn’t feel profitable.
    • I tried using it, but stopped moving all my financial data as it can’t handle multiple currencies.
    • The web interface on mobile browsers was very basic, not sure it’s still the same.
