Custom rom - Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers

I'm currently using official stable global 10.1.3 however I'm planning to switch to custom rom. Can you suggest any custom rom that is stable for daily driver? Is the performance and battery life of custom roms holds up against stock miui?
P.s. open for all suggestions and please no hate. Thanks

Heard crDroid is good but then that depends. As of now every rom has its own issue.

These are some option and are also the ones I use.
-GCAM
-Camera FV-5 Lite
-Open Camera
-A Better Camera
-MIUI Camera Port
Although I might switch to MIUI 9.1.X once that comes out as they have a new hide notch feature that fixes the notification issue I had with MIUI.
Also note that Pixel Experience is currently on pause as the dev doesn't actually have a POCO f1, and Syberia Rom is suspended for now. But I heard PE is actually quite stable. My reason for choosing crDroid is because its stable and has great features and it also has great signal strength.
( i like the miui port but for some reason when I am normally using the phone and my finger touches the FP reader it open the camera app)

NOS as in Nitrogen OS?
I checked the thread for MIUI cam port and seems like there are others with the issue, can you tell me which link you used to download it?

Camera APP for aftermarket firmwares

It's impossible as MIUI is using it's own api for MIUI camera. They are in MIUI SDK (MIUI.apk in /system/app or /system/priv-app)
And this is closed sources so actually no way to get it on custom rom, it need a good dev who would like to have a deep look on it.
But try to use open camera app and set jpeg quality to 100% and exposure compensation to -0.67 eV, that gives me better result than google camera.

Will it work in mi4? In roms other than stock miui ROM
EDIT: I tried ,but theres no option for Shutter Speed & also when i chose mannual in focus ,the focus stucks,how to mannually adjust it
In the coming days, perhaps even today, will be updated in Google Play, with support mi4 and improved interface. It worked on all custom lollipop roms and on Ivans marshmallow rom, on other marshmallow custom roms it not work because on this roms used one base with bags.

Wow. That was fast! A new interface so soon!
Thanks man.
For all others, I've been a tester of this camera, it brings manual controls to Mi4. Even the focus one. So, you'll have all sorts of controls over mi4 camera.

Request: MIUI Camera App for 7.1 Rom´s (App or .zip)

Hello Guys
I want to Use the MIUI Camera App in a 7.1 Rom.
Anybody know how to extract the app and install this in a newer Rom?
I know that the . most of the 7.x Rom´s have Camera Issues and we are Happy to make Picture with them but to try a Slow Motion Video/ Timelapse or HDR without a Third Party app out of the Play store would a nice thing be =)
Greet from the
Maximaro =)
Same for RR ROM. Miui stock app takes better images.
I would love to have the miui camera app on this cm rom too, wow.
I don't think that it'll be possible... And also if you somehow do it, it won't work as good as when you were using it on MIUI... There are some better camera mods to use...
And also i have to ask that MIUI camera's quality is really that better? Or is the difference in the camera quality really noticeable?
I think the MIUI camera takes the best pictures. It's the only reason I haven't moved to a custom rom yet as my daily driver.
I was cm fan but when i tested miui i can't leave this system , it's much better than cm ,and it's more like custom rom rather stock Android
Sent from my Redmi Note 3 using XDA-Developers mobile app
actually miui camera will need various of miui rom api's, so it is very difficult to port
Asked for the same before and from what I understood, porting that app will be super difficult. But I concur the camera app under MIUI is just that good. Would be mint to have it on other ROMs

Yep there is a big difference, if you get the device you will notice
without stock camera there is lot of noises in low light and non of the camera can take image like hdr pro mode in miui cam, and also the manual mode, some of camera enable manual but only limited like shutter speed to 1/s or the max iso to 1600, i tried lots of cam flashable zips or app store app none of them are good.:crying::crying::crying:

Which ROM Camera is the best?

Hey guys,
I'll be traveling next month and need a robust and good camera to click great pictures. It should be stable and should click good pictures with all sorts of focus and everything.
I am currently of RR Rom and the camera is unstable which is the case with almost all Android N ROMs.
So I am wondering whether to switch to lower CM version or flash back to MIUI for the camera to be top notch working.
Thanks in advance
Try latest nitrogen os testing build
It has face beauty, ubi focus (like google lence blur but in new way), chroma flash and many more features

Hey thanks for your response.
How stable is the camera?
It should not give any force closes or can't connect to the camera issues
well, for me one 20170412 rr nougat build the camera is stable but the camera app (believe its snapcamera or snapdragon camera what ever) is awful. highspeed video footage with 60fps does not work in dark conditions. if a working camera with good interface is a must.. i would take xiaomi.eu rom for this reason.

Custom Rom & Google Camera (without FCs)

What Custom Rom do you use with a good working Google Camera port: no FCs, hdr (preferably both back and front), portrait mode?
I tried Pixel Experience... GCam FCs
Then I tried LOS15.1.... GCam FCs
Then I revert back to Miui 9... GCam seems to work
I REALLY don't like MIUI
So, a good couple CustomRom/GCam?
I have a Redmi Note 4 SD 4/64 with both Samsung sensors
All mods based on Gcam 3.2.x doesn't crash, for example: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/#apk198
Only Gcam mods based on 5.1.x FC's.
Is "Portrait Mode" present on 3.2.x?

So it's not what I'm searching for.
Then you're out of luck because only mods based on gcam 5.1.x+ version have Portrait mode and they all FC occasionally.

But in stock rom (MIUI 9) it works... With very few FC from time to time... Nothing compared to the 2 custom roms I've tried before...
I have just gone from Miui 9 developer rom, to LineageOS Extended edition (https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=256804) and for me, using the UriKill Google Camera (https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/) - this version - https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/MGC_5.1.018_Urikill_vXXII.apk it seems to be very stable, where as in Miui I was getting a fair amount of crashes, it seems to be quite good. The LineageOS extended rom also adds 60fps video capture support, I tested it yesterday and it does indeed capture 60fps - Video Info app in the playstore reads the FPS, and where as before I would always only get 30fps when I tried to use 60fps in GCam, it now reports 57-60fps.
For slow Motion I can use the Miui Camera - Oreo port - https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=962187416754466517 - this one supports slow motion.

Use urkill mod in any Oreo roms
In my opinion urkill gives features with less FC.

Yep, already tried: Pixel Experience (oreo) first and LineageOS 15.1 (oreo) after... both of them with the most popular gcam ports, Urikill too
Always FCs, maybe some port more stable, but never so useful (maybe it doesn't crash for a while... then... when you need it, it crashes losing the last 2/3 shoots)
Now, on MIUI 9.5, it is moooore stable... just an FC here and there...
But I have to find a good rom (with google camera stable) 'cause I really don't like MIUI

Thank your for this awesome rom! Upgraded my old device from 7.1.1 to this! Feels good.
I use Open GApps 9.0 stock -> However, the camera app does not work. So I disabled the Google Camera App and installed the Motorola Camera app which works without problems so far.
The only thing not working is the fingerprint sensor, I cannot use it to unlock my phone and there is no option for it in the settings. Any idea?

First flash oreo Stock via fastboot than install Pie your fingerprint sensor will work..
You can skip Bootloader and partition.gpt, if in future you want to go back to Nougat...
There is no stock oreo as far as I know. This phone had the latest stock nougat 7.1.1.
Why would flashing with stock oreo help if you wipe /system and /data?
