I really like to try other roms on my pocophone but one thing that's stopping me is the inbuilt app lock from MI
It is so good. I really like it. Are there any ported version of MI's app lock or any other alternatives like it. Please I really would like to try other roms but I also need a reliable applock with notification content hide.
Did you find something? I'm using pixel experience and i really miss that miui app lock!

Hi Guys,
I want to customiza my S6 Edge screen.., I only found 1 app compatible with the fingerrpint unlock and that one is the CM Locker, but the problem with this is that does not give you to much to customize.
The C Locker Free that in theory is compatible with the finger print sensor doesnt allow me to enable this feature..., I only see pattern and pin.
any suggestion?
Thanks!!
Hi, I recommend ZUI Locker, it offers fingerprint unlock and alot of customisable features. Ive been using it for a while now and havn't had any problems.

How did u get fingerprint on zui locker
I cant find it..
Can you recommend any pure & simple App locker that do just that and nothing else ?
There’s abundance of choices, all of them full of ads and doing more than just simply locking/preventing app usage. Aby suggestions ?
use xposed framework if you can and activate maxlock once, rest applock will be history for you as in my case!
I found some apps that work without exposed and are pretty minimal, also can be updated to premium.
“App Lock: Fingerprint Password”, “App Locker - Best App Lock”, “Lock Apps - App Locker”.
Hope it can save you some time.

3 Best App Locker
You can try out one of these three:
Hex App Lock & Photo Vault
Perfect AppLock
Smart AppLock
I use Smart Applock. It is the simplest one
Hexlock App Lock simple and easy to use, try it !
GO Locker is an alternative lock screen for Android, the key feature of which is a reliable way of protection. A simple but effective method differs from the standard solution and protects the device from other people’s hands.
The only one I found with no ads its Norton App Lock.
I doesn't use app locker because the phone has a password and my personal videos are hidden in InsTube.
You might want to try Ultra Lock.
Smart AppLock by SpSoft
Ultra Lock locks apps just for a few minutes.

The best free one is Norton AppLock.
The best paid one is AppLock from SpSoft.
I'm happy (almost) owner of note5 (7SG) using it several days and still waiting my 360h... which little sux, but thats ok. I was using custom ROMs mostly RR all the time with all my previous phones.
Never used MIUI launcher before and I know why now after trying that... Maybe that is a taste problem, but not having drawer - sux.
And with this phone got several questions which can't find clear answers to... so :
Original ROM:
1. Is it possible to root without unlocking bootloader? Without TB it's pain to migrate everything from old phone...
2. Is there a way to have trebuchet launcher ported somehow from RR? (nothing that is close to it and works in play store)
3. To have Fling gestures navigation bar (like in RR)?
Probably that would be only problems that I have now... and why I want move to custom ROM. Otherwise there are things that RR will be lacking compared to stock:
1. No way to have "second space" like in MIUI ported/installed to RR? (not only for app like some "parallel space" app does but for whole desktop)
2. call recorder , automatic call recoding (on RR it's not working no mater what)...
Yes, you can root also install twrp and also install a custom rom with a locked bootloader but all of this require some carefullness methods, when you will tired to wait and have decided you have to use edl/download mode to try this.
I also dislike miui launcher without app drawer but I found finally an app from Play Store that doesnt change the icons the way it means that like this app it hasn´t its own icons so it uses exclusively from the system, its name is "My Drawer" cause the others really looks horrible and it´s like have two launchers.
About Trebuchet launcher you don´t need to port it, it´s compatible with miui and also you have better like Lawnchair launcher that is an open source with many features available.
For gestures there are many apps in Play Store so maybe this would be the one con, no fast responsive like aosp based rom, I didn´t try yet "Navigation gestures" from XDA devs
Im sorry...but under settings you actually have a way to hide the navigation bar and use the phones exclusively by gestures... is that what you are talking about?
mi phone is not in english, so cannot exactly say what is the option...but it should be something like "Full Screen Show" or something like that, it gives you an option to go "full screen" and then it teaches you how to use the gestures (cause you'll lose the nav bar).
Hope that helps in something...
Guys i am coming from Nexus 5 and pretty much used to google feed as my daily news driver. However, i do not seem to find a way to get it show up on my app vault (left drawer). I understand i can open Google app and see my feed but was wondering if there is a way to have it on left swipe like its available on stock android?
Also, anyone able to install and use RootlessPixel launcher on their Poco F1? I tried but could not get the intended UI as shown in youtube videos for other phones.
Thanks in advance!!!
i use nova launcher with nova google companion to get the result you want...
Use Lawnchair V2.
Lawnchair V2 works great for me
Thanks both of you for responding. For my needs, Lawnchair V2 works great. I
Hey guys, I really love my Pocophone, but I can't stand the Mi Ecosystem apps, everything from the browser, calendar, clock, contacts, file manager, gallery, etc... as I prefer their Google counter part, now it's not a deal breaker for me, I can deal with them, but I wanted to start flashing different ROM on my phone, like the Pixel Experience ROM. The thing is that I saw how they handled fullscreen gestures and it would be such a downgrade to what I have on MiUI 10, so I wanted to know if there is a ROM with Google Apps and a similar navigation gestures that remove buttons on the screen or if there's a way to just remove those apps and replace them with their Google counterparts on MiUI 10 with a little tweaking.
Thanks!

^^^ This!
As a US user, I feel as though MIUI's gestures and UI is generally lightyears ahead of Google's and until the F1 starts getting dedicated developers or at least consistently updated ROMs I don't have many choices.
In the meantime, my strategy once the bootloader unlock timer runs out is to find scripts and apps to uninstall/disable the bloatware and just run it on every update. Currently xiaomi EU has a Poco f1 build but it probably has some of the default miui apps like notes, browser, etc. I'll have to test out some ROMs tomorrow
