What Custom Kernel Are You Using? - Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers

So, there are some custom kernels available for the Poco and I just want to ask the community which of them are you using and why?

Franco kernel.. ever since its 1st release up.to thw latest r17 release.. simply smooth.. fluid for gaming..no hangs or lags or hiccups what so ever.. even though it doesnt give you a high antutu score. Only about 275-280k.. this kernel is stable. And battery friendly without hogging too much battery

Derp Kernel, simply, clean, great battery life and overall feels really smooth I can tell.
I'm coming from FrancoKernel too, and I was getting worse battery life, besides, when I flashed Derp Kernel I felt the device smoother than before with FK, maybe this is a placebo effect, maybe, everyone should give it a try.

Derp or sphinx???

Shadow is good but most of the kernels for poco are

I actually don't flashed any kernel but With my current daily driver Nitrogen OS I got NitroKernel + which gives me actually better battery than Stock kernel when using thermal mode in Nitrogen os settings that help me greatly. I will say try this nitrogen rom with its own kernel and I'll say you'll never need to look for any othe kernel.

+1 for Nitrogen and Nitro Kernel. Stable rom, great kernel. I used sphinx before, also stable and great battery life. But after last update, I'm too lazy to flash another kernel.

Battery life...

I have been using my redmi note 3 since October and been satisfied with every aspect of the phone but now a days my battery isn't cutting the mark. I usually used to get 8 to 9 hours of screen on time but now it had decreased to 6 to 7 hours . I had miui 8.1.4.0 global stable rooted and battery was rooted and then it started to degrade installed fresh lineage os on dual boot and still the same. Using radon kernel 4.0 on both lineage and miui . I saw a screenshot of aosip it had freaking 4hr 45 mins of screen on time and battery left was 75%!!!!!!!!
What can I do to get back my battery again??????
upgrade the radon kernel to 4.0, im using it and its pretty good..right now im on 30% 7h12m SOT rr r5.8.2

I think there something and btw i have radon kernel l 4.0 installed but still it does not give the battery life i expect
If you have a backup of the original kernel then restore it and install radon kernel again. Or dirty flash the ROM if not.
P.S: It's weird this happens to you, on the first full charge i've seen increased my battery life in 2-3h+ of SOT with Radon 4.0.
i ask here my doubts. i have RR rom 5.8.1 but i don't understand if the kernel of this rom is "stock"...but what kind of stock? a slightly optimized stock kernel?
what's the difference between using a custom kernel with the modded governors behaviours, if i ALSO use L-speed app or gov-tuner flashable zip? do they interfere each others?

By "stock" I mean the kernel that was before you flashed radon. You can flash the ROM again with only wiping cache and dalvik cache to restore it.

Short battery backup

Hey, I've a very short battery backup, on an average one percent lasts 3 minutes with less than 1/4 brightness, I'm running MIUI developer ROM(global beta/ weekly).
I'm running stock kernel.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks :good:

Nitrogen os stable build + radon 4.0V is best combination so far. I havent faced any major fc's except on camera and flash light which will be fixed only when xiaomi release their source code for nougat kernel which in my opinion is not happening anytime soon

I've installed nitrogen os with the stock kernel and there's a huge improvement. I want to ask that does changing kernels really work?

Yes, gives you alot of options to tweak. Also it fix some issues with the goodix fp.
I got 14h SoT yesterday on NOS
By the way, you should use stock kernel with it...it has all tweaks you need

Best kernel for RR N

Which is the best kernel for RR N can anybody tell me? *
It all depends on your preference and use case.
1. Agni kernel
Cutting edge stuff with lots of updates
2. Radon kernel
Super stable and smooth with lots of features
3. ElementalX
Super stable with extra wake gestures
4.Infected kernel
I personally prefer Radon or Agni
For me Radon with per app profiles. Have tried pretty much all the kernels yet always end back at the Radon. Quick charge undervolt also

That's a tough one. So many good roms. I would say Speedy and stable: Umangs LineageOS. For an all-rounder try Aex-Lite mod with Radon (what I'm using) or a kernel of your liking. Lots of features and also fast. I've not properly tested Pure Nexusrom by Demon but heard it's good (doesn't support Exfat though)

Best Xperia Z2 Nougat ROM

What is the best nougat rom for z2? I want stability, performance and everything works. I saw Resurrection Remix, CarbonROM, CypherOS and Lineage OS. Which is the best? Now I have eXistenZ Marshmallow and performance is not perfect, but I like original Xperia look and I want something looking similar to this. What I should to install?

the only one nougat rom has Xperia Interface . here... but it outdated . but still okay ..
Once upon a time custom rom used to be better in stability and usability than stock rom.
But those days are long gone.
Now a days custom rom is just about upgrading and adding fancy stuff.
No single custom rom can beat stock rom in stabilty/performance/battery etc now.
I've tried them all. But now I'm back to stock with restored TA.
Don't plan to go on a custom rom again.
YMMV.

It's not true for EX performance of oreo roms is far better than stock roms
I can't say anything about battery life but i don't think that the deference will be so much

I meant to write stability/usability/battery.
It's true that performance is slightly better in nougat/oreo than stock MM.
But is the performance gain due to "tweaks" and "optimization" done by the cookers? No, it is because the improvements done by Google.
Nougat rom still has the mic issue.
Battery charging takes twice the time than stock.
Battery life is worse than stock.
And frankly, I really don't notice any performance difference in stock MM. it is noticeable only if I do bench.
Like I said, YMMV. So you should try out first before taking a decision.

Best custom rom for pubg on POCO F1?

I'm new here so can anyone suggest a custom ROM which can give a better gaming experience or is the stock rom best for gaming?
Xiaomi.eu if you want a stock based rom that is good. As for what's best for gaming I have no idea.

If someone could run gaming or performance tests on different roms and post the results, we could decide what we want and flash that rom

Seriously? You mean that others should do the work you won't do your self?
First of the phone is on second place in antutu board with both stock and custom based on stock.
If you compare the system with a rom that is based on let's say aosp /Ln I can straight of the bat say that the stock based will work better since kernel source code isn't fully released meaning stock is your best bet atm.

Thanks for the information man. I'm a ****in noob compared to other people here xD I'll post my experiences with the phone though as I try new things which I learn from here

I've tested all the custom ROMs available for Poco including GSI ROMs both 8.1 and 9 as of now stock ROM provides the best performance in gaming as well as benchmarks. Ive tried pubg in most of the ROMs including the recent device specific RR,lineage,havoc,dot os,AEX but none gets close to stock probably because they all use lineage tree because of that you won't notice much difference. In short stock is gold.

Thank you very much. Do you think there will be improved roms for gaming in the near future? I know the stock rom is more than enough, still asking.

Definitely that's the whole point of custom ROMs. To provide more features, performance and cusyomizations over stock. So yes but will take quite some time.
So any update on this thread?

Sorry for the ignorance, but which ROM would be the stock one? Is it in the ROMs and Kernels subforum? I can't find it.
About battery usage whilst gaming, is it different? Better, worse?
Thanks for your help!

If the stock is gold,
then miui.eu would perform much better.. thats what i think.
a question tho,
sphinx v/s Franco ?
which kernel can overclock more and which is stable

Not even with a custom kernel??
I'm using nos for quite some time now.. And I gaming alot with nos.. You should try it.. Also I remember oos is good for gaming too.. Nos with stock kernel..
There is a kernel called NO Gravity that is supposed to be the best one out at the moment for gaming. Get a good custom Rom like Evolution X and then put that custom kernel on it, and let us know.

I did flash No gravity Kernel, and there is a gaming mode which will overclock the gpu and at the same time won't let the battery drain at the cost of little heat(Nobody notice that much). And u can flash the magnetar payload in magisk manager, and that's it, game is smoother than ever. Use the MIUI 11 only, it's the best.
