Droidian for the Poco F1​A collection of tips to install and use Droidian on the Pocophone F1 (beryllium)
Requirements​
A computer with fastboot and adb access to the phone
A USB 2.0 port/hub with actual USB 2.0 controller (fastboot on USB 3.0 can be problematic with Poco F1)
Unlocked bootloader
Backup all your data, as your phone will be WIPED
It is also recommended to take a note about your Acces Point Name in Android Settings before starting the procedure (you will need it for mobile data)
Installation​0. Download files​
Latest nightly or stable release of droidian-rootfs and droidian-devtools for arm64 from the Droidian repo
Latest boot image
Latest adaptation zip
Vendor image
Android 9 Pie official firmware
Latest TWRP
1. Install TWRP​
Boot to fastboot mode by pressing the Vol- and Power buttons until the phone vibrates
Check that the phone is recognized by running fastboot devices
Install TWRP by running fastboot flash recovery twrp-*-beryllium.img
2. Install Droidian in TWRP​TWRP:
Boot into TWRP by pressing Vol+ and Power buttons until the phone vibrates
Go to Wipe and Format data (type yes)
IMPORTANT: Reboot into TWRP again
PC:
Connect the phone via USB
The internal storage is now available over MTP from the PC
Copy the downloaded files to the internal storage of the phone
TWRP:
Install image: boot.img to Boot partition
Install image: vendor.img to Vendor partition
Install zip file: fw_beryllium_miui_POCOF1Global_9.6.27_6673f8a455_9.0.zip
Install zip file: droidian-rootfs-api28gsi_arm64_YYYYMMDD.zip
Install zip file: droidian-devtools_arm64_YYYYMMDD.zip
Install zip file: android-recovery-beryllium-adaptation.zip
Go back to main menu and reboot to System (TWRP might complain that there is no OS installed, but that's fine)
The first boot may take longer, and at least one spontaneous reboot is expected during the process
If all goes well, your phone will boot to the Droidian lock screen, the unlock code is 1234
Now open the King's Cross terminal app and run this command: sudo systemctl enable enable-ipa (the password is 1234)
Reboot the phone (long press power button)
Installation is complete
Flashing the devtools zip enabled SSH over USB. To use it, connect your phone to your computer and type ssh [email protected], the password is 1234 (on Windows, you may need PuTTY)
Notes​SIM slot​Dual-SIM mode is not supported as of now. Only the SIM2 slot is active, so a microSD card can be used at the same time.
Mobile data​Mobile data should work, but it needs to be set up manually. The good part is that the configuration is persistent, so you need to do this only once.
Open the Settings app and tap Mobile, then tap Access Point Names
Tap the + in the top right corner of the pop-up
Fill out the textboxes based on your settings in Android. The Name can be anything, e. g., the name of your carrier. The APN is likely some sort of an URL, like internet.carrier.net or something similar. If you didn't see a Username and Password in Android, you can skip these.
In some cases, rebooting your phone or turning mobile data on and off a few times is enough. Otherwise we'll have to give the same settings to oFono as well.
Open the King's Cross terminal app or use SSH and type cd /usr/share/ofono/scripts
To check your current setup, type ./list-contexts, look for the first context, called [ /ril_1/context1 ]
Notice that context has Name, Type, AccessPointName, Username, and Password attributes among others, we'll need to change these to match the valid settings from Android.
Now deactivate this context to be able to make changes to it: ./deactivate-context 1
And now make your changes like this: ./set-context-property 1 $ATTRIBUTE $VALUE, where the 1 is for [ /ril_1/context1 ], the $ATTRIBUTE is one of the attributes listed above, and the $VALUE will be the value you need to enter. make sure that the Name and AccessPointName match the Name and APN you entered in the settings menu. If an attribute needs to be empty, set it to "".
When you make your changes, you can use ./list-contexts to see them.
When everything looks good, activate the updated context: ./activate-context 1
If all went well, by running./list-contexts again you should see that the Active attribute is now 1, and under the Settings attribute you can see the network parameters (Address, Netmask, Gateway, etc.) assigned by your carrier.
You may need to reboot or turn mobile data on and off a few times, but mobile data should be working now.
Pro tip: once you configured everything, you can type history to see your previous commands. Save them to a script that does all of this for you next time.
Additional tweaks​For other tweaks, open the King's Cross terminal app, and run beryllium-extras.sh. The following options are available:
Notch fix (moves the clock from its original invisible position to the right side)
Switching between dark mode and light mode (Adwaita theme)
Automated installation of Waydroid

Unfortunately i don't think so, it's almost all working so don't really need a update and base it's updated from droidian itself

Hello,
Thanks for porting this device!
I would like to build the source. I'm trying to do it with droidian releng tools, but getting some build errors. I guess the reason is the toolchain version. Can you tell me wich toolchain (gcc or clang) and which version is needed?
Best regards!

---

Hello,
I have been able to solve the problem.
Some vdso modules are 32 bit, so also is needed the arm32 toolchain and pass it to make with CROSS_COMPILE_ARM32 var.
Best regards!
