Force Encryption happened upon my first boot.

My question is, how do I get rid of it safely? I do not want to lose any data as I have a ton of valuable stuff but I currently cannot write to my external SD card so I'm currently making cloud backups before taking any actions since I will have to format data in twrp, but I suppose what I'm really asking is, will force encryption just happen again after my first boot from formatting data? If so, how do I prevent this?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] mrijinm:
As I have already mentioned in previous post, when i try to restore non gapps twrp backup over gapps enabled currently working LOS16, next boot will automatically redirect to fastboot mode (LOS16 will not boot).

In such situations, reflashing firmware/vendor package and its equivalent LOS16 build helped me to fix booting issue. And of course all the personal configurations will be available as it is.

I have a big problem with Android Auto. After connecting the car display shows everything as it should but the phone itself is just a flickering mess. It shows the lockscreen but I can't do anything. I need to reboot to make it work again. Any ideas?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] eatnooM:
Did you try using Magisk Manager's "Hide Magisk Manager" setting (where it assigns itself a random package name, available under Settings - believe it's the last setting under General), as well as applying Magisk Hide for Pokemon Go? Once I'd done those and cleared data + reinstalled, I was able to use Pokemon Go again (only tested it for a couple of minutes, but this was much longer than it took for me to get booted the first time around).

LOS 2018-11-04 unusable due to lack of support of ext. SD card & hidden wifi

Hi Abhishek987

First of all: I'm very happy that LOS is coming for the Poco F1 - thank you for your efforts :good::good::good:

I have followed the installation instructions in post #1535. The result is that if my (ExFAT formatted) 128GB Samsung Evo+ SD card is inserted then the system does endless reboots: Yellow Xiaomi logo -> LOS boot animation -> LOS setup dialog (stops after a few seconds) -> new reboot -> ... .

Only if I remove the SD card the boot completes and the system starts properly, i.e. I can continue with the Android setup wizard and the device keeps running. Using my Pocophone without an external SD card is a no-go for me.

I also noticed that hidden wifi does not work. Unfortunately this is another reason why LOS is currently not usable for me.

In the OP you list all features that are currently working. You currently state that the only "known issue" is the IR camera. May I kindly ask you to update the OP and append the follwing "known issues":

+ External SD cards are not supported​

+ Hidden Wifi is not working​

Thank you.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] reg66:
External cards are supported, you either need to format as fat32 or ntfs or flash sphinx kernel which supports ex fat

Its true that last build (4/11/18) have some issues in connecting hidden SSIDs. I tried to connect various hidden APs and it doesn't show incorrect password and you can see the new entry in saved networks list.

Unfortunately, a system restart fixed my issue.

Now I can connect both 2.4 & 5 hidden networks without any issue (sometimes need restart).

[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] I34z1k:
Can anyone comment on SOT and overall performance? Is Miui still the better option for the moment? Currently on 10.0.4.0 and seriously missing LOS!
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] reg66:
Personally, and I mean no disrespect to the developer, but I'd be inclined to stick with miui just for now. I moved back to Los just last night, clean install but had a random reboot this morning after disconnecting from charge. Hopefully it was just a one off though, time will tell. As for performance, I change the 3x animations (under developer options) to either off or at 0.5 for all three. This makes it a lot more snappy as I found the animations of Los to be sluggish. Can't comment on battery life as it's a fresh install.

I came from globe rom which is miui EU based and everything worked. But I did miss double tap to sleep from lock screen / double tap to wake, so I re-flashed this Los rom last night. I'll still use it as a daily driver for a while.

Just my two cents. Many thanks to developer, it's come on lots since I last tried it. Just need a reliable camera now that stores to micro sd, snap cam hdr does but only to one location which gets removed if uninstalled, not ideal
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] I34z1k:
It's an unofficial rom :) If any developer takes offense from what you're saying, they're super insecure.

Thanks for your insight and candeur, I'll give it a little more time on Miui!

[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] zyberkiddy:
I lost my data once because of encryption, twrp and LOS was not accepting my "correct" pattern. This is what I did to remove encryption.

1. Backup your internal memory (not nandroid, copy to pc or sd card)

2. Do a twrp backup of current installation, copy that also safely.

3. Format the data partition completely (including /data/media)

4. Install ROM or restore backup (copy it via MTP mount in twrp)

5. Flash force decryption zip (this will modify the boot image and file system table (fstab) to turn off encrpytion in first boot)

6. Boot ROM

7. Copy back the stuff you want.

I personally haven't tried restore of data backup after disable encryption but it should work theoretically.

You should flash the force decryption zip everytime you flash a ROM or Kernel to keep the partition non encrypted.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Rapalax:
I believe you are having these issues, but in the interest of providing more complete info to people following this thread, I have decided to share my very good experience also. Its been about 5 days and I find the rom rock-solid (no RR, no crashes, etc..). BT connects to my car audio, and runs all the APPs I use without issue. More than adequate for a daily driver.

The only thing that isn't quite right is night mode (it looks a bit off), and the general poco f1 touch responsiveness that some have complained about is present, but we'll need to wait for new firmware no doubt.

Coming from MIUI stock, I flashed the firmware, LOS, OpenGapps stock, then rebooted. This gave me all sorts of crazy errors until I quickly realized that I didn't wipe data. After wiping data, and rebooting again, there were no issues and phone hasn't reboot since. I haven't installed Magisk but not sure I'll need it.

PS: Pixel Launcher crashes too, but I have never been able to run it on a LOS (even official) build. I use lawnchair launcher (with lawnfeed) anyways.

[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] h4t trick:
Just tested that version you suggested and I find it a great camera app! Thanks for the reply!

Alas, the slowmo mode produces videos with a very low framerate (about 2 fps)

I think this ROM is almost perfect, and I really appreciate the devs' work and commitment, but is slow motion one of the few things not working for this ROM?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Stampyron:
It's an issue on all roms except for miui. Latest bsg gcam has slow mo working too but I won't say it's exactly working as it's quite buggy.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] bravo2526:

Just flash new firmware followed by the updated rom. No need for a clean flash. After you have flashed firmware and rom you can wipe davlik/cache. But this is optional, from my point of view.

---------- Post added at 10:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:45 AM ----------

Thanks for this great rom! :)

Short question/remark: In the previous rom I had a smaller homescreen matrix which means I could put more apps on one homescreen. The new build enlarges the matrix which means less apps can be shown on one homescreen. Does somebody else has this "problem" in LOS 15.1 and 14.1 it is possible to adjust the height and width of the matrix. In LOS it is (still) not possible.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Saswata Chakraborty:
Hi, is it common with all the custom ROMs that SD card do not show when connecting to PC? After flashing LOS, my SD card doesn't show up. However, when I go to file manager on my phone, SD card shows there.

One more thing. After flashing Magisk, it didn't show up on app list. But when I installed Magisk Manager app and opened, it showed Magisk is installed.

No, when connected you choose the option to send files?

About magisk it's normal, some times the app don't show after flashing it, you can install the app as you did or sometimes just reboot again and it may appear after the reboot as it happened with me...
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Saswata Chakraborty:
Thanks buddy for the reply. Noticed a few more things.

1. Touch Vibration is too powerful compared to miui.

2. Network reception is not as good as miui. I am getting 2-3 bars instead of full bar like miui.

3. Using Nova launcher prime. Normally I use Double tap to sleep (with root access). However, on this ROM, the root option is not showing when using the DT2S on home screen. It is only showing Accessibility and Device Admin.

4. While scrolling through Play store, it lags. I dont know if its because of GApps package, as it doesn't happen on stock rom.

5. When downloading something from Play store, I am not getting any progress status on notification bar. After the download is finished, then only I get the notification on status bar and notification bar. I gave notification access to Play store and also checked all the three options on Download manager. Still it's not working.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] TioCareca:
1. noticed too, still i liked more this way, it's a matter of taste, still you can use ex kernel manager to change it...

2. not noticed that, what's your provider? I am on Vodafone PT and reception is as good as in miui...

3. not using nova sorry...

4. no lag on my end, but i deactivated animations, i use pico gapps don't known if that make any difference...

5. true i noticed that too...
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] mdfarazb2:
1. You can control the vibration intensity under any kernel app settings example ex kernel manager.

2. MIUI and other stock ROMs uses fake signal reception algorithm which always shows full bars , but in custom ROMs the signal which you are seeing are the correct strength.

5. Disable data transfer tool under system settings
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] lemene:
Found a bug.

Sim Data chooser (settings-network-sim) does not work after a reboot, always returns to sim I did not choose.

It's actually only the SD card which breaks the system. Everything works fine with my SIM card.

The new stronger rounded corners are approximately the same as the lower rounded corners - maybe a little less.

I nevertheless did two screenshots for you, one normal, one with the new round corners (attached), than you can see how much space is lost.

Hi Devs,

i have got my Poco last week so i am really new to subject.

Lineage OS is my daily system for over a year on Galaxy S4 so i want to continue.

My questions are:

is that Bluetooth improvement

already included in this ROM?

is there a release schedule somewhere? (weekly, calendar, ...) or is it like Debian, will released when it's ready?

Thanks
