The MIUI for POCO F1 was explicitly optimized for POCO, which is not a light UI, thus, not liked by all users. Hence, to meet the user demands, Custom ROMs are designed as per their choice. If you’re on a tight budget, it should definitely be at the top of your list of options. If you have a little leeway, go download stock firmware try out some of the other phones we mentioned. If you’re looking for performance and a battery that keeps you going all day, the POCOphone F1 becomes even more compelling.
- Apart from these small issues, the ROM is almost stable and can be used as a daily driver.
- 3) Make sure your device is rooted and have a custom recovery like TWRP Installed.
- Always try rebooting to see if things start working, but if they don’t, make sure to share the logs (that have been saved automatically to your internal storage) in the module support thread.
- To install this Ported ROM in POCO F1, you have to do these two processes first.
This is a common issue on old devices, custom ROMs, and stock ROMs without GMS certification (e.g. Chinese ROMs). There are many additional features in our application that will be useful to you, these are just a few of them. We also added “App Updater” menu so that you can update your system applications, it’s a nice option for update your Xiaomi phone. In this way, not only MIUI or Android version, but also your applications will always be up to date. This feature we call Hidden Features, allows you to access hidden settings and features in MIUI that are generally inaccessible to user. None of these features require root, but some are experimental as they aren’t available on normal settings.
If you can find a fingerprint for the device you have in mind, submit it for inclusion in the list of certified fingerprints. The fingerprints list will update without the need to update the entire module. If you’re already on a custom ROM that can’t pass the CTS profile check, this might not be an option… If someone can run the getprop command on their device for you, you’re good to go. You can also use a fingerprint from another device, but this will change how your device is perceived. For adding custom props or removing props from your device, there are the “Custom props” and “Delete props” features. Xiaomi’s spin-off brand POCO is known to offer impressive smartphone hardware at very attractive prices.
If the fingerprints list check is disabled, the list can be manually updated from within the script, under the Edit device fingerprint menu, or with the -f run option (use -h for details). Using an actual model value from an old device may also help with keeping OEM specific features working (like the Samsung Galaxy Store). If device/OEM specific features still doesn’t work after activating this option, or your device is otherwise behaving strangely, try picking a device manually from the included list (see below). If no model prop value from an old enough device is available, the value from ro.product.device will be used instead.
Speaking of which, the Xiaomi Poco F1 forums are now open, so if you’re planning to get this phone, then keep an eye on it as we’ll probably be seeing a lot of development for it in the coming weeks. After bringing the Poco X4 GT and Poco F4 to the market this June, Poco has now launched two budget-friendly M series devices.
