This is CarbonROM for the Poco F1. For those that follow us, you would know that we have been working since the hour the first Android 9.0 repositories dropped. The CarbonROM developers have been working on getting private builds up to our release standards - I am specifically working on feature bring up and creation. Like all ROMs, flash at your own risk.
Disclaimer:
There will be bugs. The point of these builds is not only solve device-related issues, but to give a sneak peek of what the features of CR-7.0 will be. Please keep this in mind when posting in the thread.
When posting bug reports, do:
Provide details of additional modifications
Provide any logs possible
When posting bug reports, do not:
Leave any of the above out
Post without reading the whole OP
Quote the whole OP
Expect me to address any bug reports
Tag me in bug reports thinking I'll address them
If you don't follow these simple guidelines, I will probably ignore you.

Thanks for hopping on so quick. Some key things for you guys to keep in mind: let me know if performance is noticeably different from other ROMs. We have included some precompiled bits that improve some specific benchmarks and we're looking to see if that translates to real-world performance.

Amazing! Will test it this weekend!

Okay short report: ROM is blasing fast and snappy. Has most needed modifications ( system dark mode, disable notch aso.... This is my dd for the next weeks!
Thanks Dev and Carbon Team for your hard work.

Please Post some benchmark scores. I want to see the difference the precompiled bits bring.

Booted twrp (official)
Formatted data
Wiped everything
Flashed vendor/firmware 9.2.25
Flashed carbon
Flashed gapps nano
Wiped cache/data
Rebooted
Bootloop...
Tried the same but without gapps but same - bootloop

Did it again but this time with gapps and dfe and it booted.
So does it REQUIRE dfe?

Clean flash as described above (with dfe to get it to boot!)

In contrast - clean flash of pe caf
Antutu 242399

Usual caveats about synthetic benchmarks apply but it seems to me that if specific tweaks were applied to carbon to improve benchmarks they don't seem to be improving matters in these cases...

i think if you are decrypted & you flashed a newer vendor then you need dfe.. to keep your decryption state.

So the ROM in one word is amazing.
As for antutu, I attached a screenshot. I only installed the app and ran it, don't have any apps installed aside it, I do not know much about this benchmark nor it matters to me. But did it anyways.
This lower score could be because thermal profiles are not included? I think those would help tremendously with the score.
As for normal usage (didn't try games), everything is fluid and fast, no hiccups anywhere, definitely a solid daily driver for those who are looking to try it.
------------------
As the ROM is in a great condition from first build, there isnt any major bugs I found, but for really tiny ones, which most people won't care about but will state anyways:
1. Can the gap between clock and notification icons be smaller so 2 icons would show when there is 2 notification icons?
2. When right side of status bar is filled, icons gets pushed to out-of-sceeen to the right side instead of just just a dot, idk if this is intended to be have that way or not.
3. Swiping up the pulldown slowly while looking on left side, animation of notification icons isn't correctly working
4. Quick settings toggles in notification view aren't spread out equally, probably has to do with content padding.
Thank you,
Edit: seems like IR camera doesn't work.

No - clean flashes each time.
Format data and wipe everything.
I couldn't get carbon to boot without flashing dfe.
Edit: yes I know how dfe works and when it's needed but in this case I was delibertely doing clean flashes for testing.
Not sure why my antutu was so much lower than the poster above.

you said before if u r encrypted , u don't need dfe
but decrypted with a new vendor .. u need dfe
so, this rom forces encryption even if you r encrypted?

You're confusing me.
I tried to clean flash carbon and it would not boot.
I did a new clean flash but this time flashed dfe at the end and it booted.
So in my case I could not get carbon to boot WITHOUT flashing dfe.

I think if you previously flashed vendor 9.2.25 which is the latest with the carbon rom it could be possible that your data gets "encrypted", this is the only logical explanation on why you had to flash DFE with your clean flash process.

Again this is not making sense to me.
Each time I installed I formatted data, wiped everyting, flashed the vendor/firmware and ROM etc.
I was not carrying data over from one installation to another so what you're talking about seems irrelevant here.
Anyway dfe does not decrypt - it just prevents vendor/firmware from encrypting if not already encrypted.
I think you're confused about how some of this stuff works to be honest....
Your only reason for flashing dfe above is not correct.
I had to flash dfe to get carbon to boot which seems to imply that carbon cannot with the vendor/firmware encryption process or an encrypted phone.
Pkease read my posts carefully.
I was starting totally afresh when testing carbon and pe caf here.

what is irrelevant here my friend? you are aware that Disable Force Encryption stats the matter by the name here, you clean flashed the ROM, and you had a bootloop, am not sure even if you have removed all the locks before booting to TWRP nor sure about of you even have your data decrypted to begin with, the fact that you had to flash DFE to sort the bootloop also explains it, wanna make sure go ahead and clean flash the same ROM but this time around without flashing DFE.

Edit: some ROMS here require a specific vendor firmware version to operate and functions as it should, try CRdroid and you will face the same obstacle on 9.2.25 version.

antutu score 242687 , clean flash.
In my opinion this rom is faster than PE CAF rom.It is simply instantaneous.
Dirac sound is a very important extra to me.
As of bugs : in the about menu on the sim card tab there are no info available on signal strenght and all other boxes.
As a small request if it is possible to add display profiles from LOS 16.
Amaizing work on this one.

You are talking about being decrypted and needing to flash dfe after vendor/firmware to stay decrypted.
This is irrelevant because I was starting from a clean base/fresh setup each time.

Don't know what you're talking about.
you clean flashed the ROM, and you had a bootloop

What "locks" are you on about?
nor sure about of you even have your data decrypted to begin with,

there was no data "to begin with" since I formatted/wiped/flashed afresh.
the fact that you had to flash DFE to sort the bootloop also explains it

All it explains is that the ROM does not boot if vendor/firmware is not patched with dfe.
Edit: some ROMS here require a specific vendor firmware version to operate and functions as it should, try CRdroid and you will face the same obstacle on 9.2.25 version.

The requirements in the OP are 9.2.11 (which I don't know even exists) OR LATER.
9.2.25 is later obviously.
