Gah, I'm rocking my 7 on stock 12.1 firmware, but felt like either switching to OP12 altogether or delay the purchase by some months, and I guess I found my solution to play with some more customization and features while waiting for the prices to drop :D Thanks, will definitely follow your install guide in the other video!
At time stamp 3:20: I installed Pixel Experience on my OP7T pro and this has been happening too. It drove me crazy, so I looked deeper into it: When displaying stating content as it is happening here (especially with a black background), the phone seems to switch from 90 Hertz to 60 Hertz after exactly 5 seconds (I assume in order to save battery life). This causes the shift in color / brightness. I could replicate this error by simply pulling up similar content to yours: Settings, Comment section of TH-cam, Website with static conent, .... The flicker occurs always after 5 seconds and touching the screen triggers the flicker again (presumably due to switching back to 90 Hertz refresh rate). In the Pixel Experience, I could switch the "minimum refresh rate" from 60 Hertz to 90 Hertz which resolved the issue so that the refresh rate will not be lowered and stays at a constant 90 Hertz even when displaying static content. I assume that this helps here also.
@@FilthyCasualTech Finally installed... I was on the latest OOS which disabled unlocking, much rigmarole later I'm buried in the settings of CrDroid and I only forgot to backup a couple of things lol Thanks again!
@@FilthyCasualTech Any luck getting VoLTE calling up and running on this rom? I've spent the last 5-6hrs down rabbit holes with mbn configurations and all sorts of garbage attempting to get VoLTE for Telstra/ALDI enabled. At least the 3g shutdown has been pushed back to the end of October as of today... I wish I knew that yesterday xD The ROM itself is super deep on the customisations, very fun :-D
Did you have a problem after you sideloded the ota update on your phone? Im stuck at v10.5. My phone gets random reboots after sideload. I did a Clean install with msmtool but when im trying to format the file system isnt showing, only format on v10.7. if i choose "format" and follow the steps, the phone continues with random reboots. Weird. I use McLaren edition
I'm still using my OnePlus 7t on Pixel Experience + as my daily driver based on one of your older videos. i think I'm gonna switch to crDroid now as PE as been k¡lled. Are you aware of any major downsides with crdroid when compared to PE? Love the videos, keep em coming :)
Thankyou, love that your OnePlus is still going! Upsides is Android 14 being better supported, plus waaaaay more options and tweaks Downside is needing to flash Google apps every time you update
i just switched from Pixel experience 13 to crdoid 10.6 on my 7T. pros - customiastion is more in depth. there are charging controls like charging limit and timers which are quite useful. cons - it is a bit slower than PE overall, and buggy. phone seems to hang during some setting changes etc. this ROM definitely feels more like a custom ROM, rather than the stock pixel experience that PE provides. the biggest thing i miss is the ability to scan and copy text from apps in recent apps. also well it doesnt come with google apps, but thats not an issue as you can sideload it while flashing the ROM.
@@dris_jaes thanks for the information! I might just stick to PE+ for a bit and buy the pixel 7pro soon as it's at a massive discount in my region (approximately 500usd for a brand new one).
I've been using a Smasnug S Ultra series the last few generations and I'm so sick and tired of them removing features in One UI Updates that I'm going back to my 7 Pro, bought a battery and a nice new case for it and I can't wait for them to come in in a few days! Out of curiosity, it seems like people have been having issues with original 7 Pros dying lately, like all of a sudden they just drop dead and won't show any signs of life, have you had any issues with your 7T Pro? Might get a 7T board and swap it into my 7
Imagine it will never last as long as a more recent device, but I've yet to have any issues with my 7T Pro. I daily drive a Pixel though, so the OnePlus isn't being used all day every day Issue I see a fair bit seems to be a failure around the popup camera, which ends up causing the whole camera module to fail. Device is around 5 years old now too, so never surprised to start seeing components fail
I don't use WhatsApp myself, but their FAQ says they don't support custom ROMs faq.whatsapp.com/649203676836357/?cms_platform=android So unless you can hide/fake whatever checks they're making, it doesn't look good
@@FilthyCasualTech Also if your phone feels slow you can change 3 animation speeds in developer options from 1.5 to .5! It will be much snappier after that!
Great to see a follow up video from you after the guide on how to install crdroid. Did you ever install magisk/root and if so did you have any issues with apps detecting root and not working properly?
Thanks, appreciate it Unfortunately I've not rooted this in quite some time, and just try to get away with mostly out of the box Could get a bit more functionality out of it with root, and probably not much more effort since you have to flash gapps separately anyway, so only an extra step Pretty happy to be able to use banking and Google Wallet without anyway

Good luck and enjoy! 😁
@@FilthyCasualTech I still have the screen stuttering issues.. ghost touching as well. Any fix?
Unfortunately it might just be messing around with display settings
With so many features and options, a hit could come from anywhere.
3:33 - The horizon light is available in the name of "Edge light" under section-Ambient Display.🙂
Ahhhh, I found it - doh!
I guess my criticism moves into 'crDroid has so many options, I lose track of it all'' 🤣
@@FilthyCasualTech Thats a point 🤣🤣.

That does make sense and great that there's a way around it, cheers!
I would easily take 60hz over the annoying colour shift
turn off variable refresh rate
Thanks for the run down!
Any chance you've also tried LineageOS and have a preference between the 2?
Used Lineage with Android 13 on this device before
Much prefer crDroid - similar style but waaaaaay more options and features
@@FilthyCasualTech Beautiful, I'll give CrDroid a whirl! Thanks for the reply :-)

Ahh yes, classic OOS being a pain :(
Enjoy playing around with all the customisations!

Dude, I have Widevine L1 on mine... I'm on CrDroid 10.8. Maybe you missed up something on installation?
I assume they must have fixed it, which is great!
Was definitely listed as an issue in early builds

I didn't have any issues side loading unfortunately so can't comment much.
Would suggest asking on the crDroid support page
can u show the game space? and how's the gaming tools?

tips on how to enable google pay on crdroid 14? struggling to connect my card to it
What issue is it giving you?
I was able to use it 'out of the box'
Is whats-app working on this ROM? Im on lineage (op7) and it doesn't! Also no face recognition and fingerprint doesn't work...

wait, so everytime i update OTA, the google apps stop working untill i sideload them again?
Not quite sure what happens if you don't - expect they wouldn't appear
But yeah, always assume you'll reflash them
Yeah you have to sideload them again, because some signing problem :(
