Hello everyone,
I've been using the Pocophone F1 for quite some time now and really like it but I'd like to install another rom because I don't want all the bloatware.
I did already watch some tutorials which explains how to unlock the bootloader but where do I download the right TWRP version? (I think I have the international version of the Pocophone)
Also, Pixelrom seems very good or would you guys recommend another rom?
Thanks in advance!

Each ROM has its own uniqueness. What may be the best ROM for me may not be the best ROM for you. Once you try a new ROM for a few days, try changing ROMs. You will settle for one that you like best. Some ROMS will have Battery life, some have performance, some are pleasing to the eyes, some have additional features that you may like, some may have features that you don't use at all. So asking which is the best ROM is not correct.
Try different ROMs, the Opening Post will tell you its USP, decide and go ahead.

Thanks for your reply, the main issue I have with the stock rom is that it comes with so many bloatware.

Hi all, newbie here. I just got permission to unlock my bootloader and I want to try out some good stuffs now. There are pretty good Roms here and I just want to know which is overall the most stable one. Also, camera is very important to me, how are the cameras in various Roms compared to Miui camera? Thanks all in advance and have a great day.
Go with blissrom
Yup,the most stable but even at beta stages ,you can go with blissrom cm 13 based ,it doesnt lock your bootloader again after flashing with twrp ,to the my extent of knowledge.

XOSP works great too. i have been using it for a week now, and i haven't encountered any issues what so ever. Micro GApps, Viper-Fx, Xposed Modules everything works just smooth.
Battery drain might seem like an issue as coming from xiaomi (which unnecessarily restricts background activity) but apps like Greenify/ Amplify does a great job in redistricting it. It's not perfect as battery drain could be reduced and sometime it reboots when tweaking with camera settings (on very rare occasions), but it does the job.

Try the Unofficial Method. I myself was having the same issue and the unofficial method worked just fine for me.
Yes you need to be a little bit extra careful during and even after unlocking via Unofficial method, or when switching back to Miui rom, but it should all come in ease once you get a heck of it and start understanding your phone better.
If you need i could send you a link for the unofficial unlocking method.

Thanks man but I'm not in that much hurry. I will wait for official unlock. Few more days, weeks and I will unlock. Just servers needs to update their stuff.

For me the best rom out there is official Resurrection Remix all the way... I tried many roms out there and this one is the less buggy, the most customizable, the most smooth and battery friendly for me... I am using also Radon kernel and it's amazing!!!

I did it. I installed earlier today MIUI 8 Global Beta to try it out and wanted to try to unlock and did it in first try, just logged on Mi Unlock Tool with my MIUI ID, hit unlock and voala. So it's easier with developer rom then with global stable. But I'm now in a dilemma because MIUI 8 is a lot better then 7.3.7.0
Guys what do you recommend? Android Pie stable or beta? Or do you recommend any custom rom? Thank you!

Any bugs? I mean I prefer all options to be working which are working in Miui. I am not talking about the ones which are explicitly for Miui but in general.

This rom solves the screen delay?
In all honesty, everyone is different. They all have their strengths and weaknesses. If you don't mind flashing, I urge you to try a few and see what fits you the best. What's good for one is not always what's good for the other. Personally, I use pixel experience with pix3lfy magisk module... But that's just what I like.
I literally try every single rom I can find for my devices. Each one has its good and bad sides. Sometimes I like using a Pie ROM, sometimes I like MIUI. I'm using Pixel Experience right now, but as soon as the next MIUI from Xiaomi.eu is available I'll be installing that one.
Every person uses their device differently and therefore will have different requirements.
Me, I look for smoothness of operation and long battery life.
Syberia is great, Havoc is good, PE is lovely, MIUI is nearly perfect (for me).
Get comfortable with backing up your data and flashing and try them all!
I flashed Mi-Room 8.12.13, and I can say, this one is the best I tried. Seems snappier than EU and stable/beta. I also tried LOS/PExperience but they seem half-finished...

Yes, but you won't notice any differences. At the moment I'rocking almost 10h SOT which I haven't managed to do since MIUI 9...
I do use Syberia, its great performance over 265k in Antutu and is stable af. I didnt found any single bug and OTA works good.
I would like to test Pixel Experience but im very comfortable with Syberia
I have used almost all custom ROMs available for Poco F1 except crDroid and Mokee. And this is my top 5 choices.
1. Stock miui (8.12.13; Rooted and debloated a few system apps)
2. Miui EU
3. NOS
4. Omni
5. AOSiP
Right now I am using NOS+MicroG+Magisk+Derp Kernel and the combination seems to work for me pretty well. Anyway, this is my personal choice. You may have different experience.

I reverted to MIUI just because of Camera features... Hope MIUI camera can be used in custom ROMs soon..
I've noticed several videos about a fully functional oxygen os rom that works on poco. I'm planning to use it but before I do i want to know :
Do you get oxygen os updates?
If it doesn't will i have to reinstall a new version every time?
Is it possible to return to miui whenever I want?
If you can live with no fm radio, bad 3.5 mm audio output and dont mind installing an app to toggle between silent/ringing mode then go for it.....its one of the best custom ports for poco.
as for updates i didnt updating but most probably a clean flash is recommended.

1. No, it's a port. Only the dev who ported it will give updates if he wishes so.
2. Yes, indeed.
3. Of course.

The best kernel for OOS (and generally for every ROM imo) is the provided stock kernel but yeah, that Telegram group is really toxic. I never say anything there because they can ban you for everything... Also, don't use custom kernels on OOS because they can break some functionalities.
Hello,
What would be the best custom rom for the mi 8 lite? Also is there a clean without all the bloat miui rom available? I'm waiting to be able to unlock my device as I still have 13 more days but currently miui 10 is treating me well. Things that i want most is camera working at max and battery to survive as long as possible. Things that I don't want, additional mi apps that I'll never use. Also security is always important. Please help, teach me sempais.
I found this link for bloatware free miui.

As soon as they demonstrate that they are out of a "fork" of MIUIPRO rom it will be acceptable.
They have been reported many time in the past.
Discussion is open.
A great rom, one of the best I've tried in this and other terminals, give support, support and in their channels they always treat you with the respect you deserve.
Thanks to the developers for the rom.

Y're right. I also made use of it after MUIUPRO asked for money.
Not really fair, but It's a kind of parity...
Did you check if it is well encrypting at TWRP latest? Because I only found EU and Globe daughter able to well encrypt as it is mandatory for my peace of mind.

That was in the past! When the rom was good and had a lot of customization. As soon as they stopped copying miuipro stuff, the rom lost all customization.
The dev said it was because he changed the base rom to one more stable and that customization would come back, but he was never able to do it.
In my opinion, is not even better than miui EU. It's a normal miui rom with YouTube vanced and micro g installed. It doesn't make any sense to me.

It is stable as long as you do a CLEAN FLASH. I tried a dirty flash and device reboots every 5 min.
