Are you talking about this issue? Where the screen starts flickering after you disconnect the device? It also fails to render the navigation bar in AA (bottom bar) and just shows it as black.

I would really love to see a solution for this, besides the workaround of disabling hardware overlays which you have to do after every reboot.

Have you tried clean flash? backup importants files/apps and copy it to memory card or other storage, then wipe dalvik art, cache, system, data, flash at least 9.4.26 vendor first, then flash DFE, flash latest lost nightly and nano gapps, boot it and finally flash magisk.

but if your simcard is still not detected, then you have to reflash stock rom using Miflash tool.

[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Munzu:
Not yet. I wanted to avoid clean flashing as much as possible and since there are other people with this issue, I didn't think it was an error on my end but if this doesn't get fixed soon, I'm going to have to give it a try. Thanks for walking me through!

So if clean flashing alone doesn't work, I should try reflashing the stock rom, then clean flashing as described above again?

[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] BenParz:
Basically, the unofficial builds tend to have more extra features added by the maintainer. Official builds are from the official lineage source. If you want a more cutting-edge version, you may want to use the unofficial one.

To the users of this ROM, what kernel do you recommend for a balance of battery life and performance? Should I stick with the stock one, or flash a custom one? If the latter, which would you recommend?

Try Malakas Kernel
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] djdelarosa25:
I've read that Malakas is unstable.

Daily updates are also a bit off-putting for me. It's too much of a hassle to flash it in TWRP every day. Almost becomes a chore.

It's been fixed. I never switched since I used it. Great battery life. I could even get almost 6hrs of SOT with regular use.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Largamelion:
Damn, I thought official would be quicker for security updates and easier for OTA's, but features like '3 finger swipe screenshot' are really making me want to go back to unofficial. I had assumed all these things like the battery percentage mods would simply be added to the official, but I was so wrong.

Read my comment above, those are only two features I mentioned but there are plenty more that make the unofficial build much better than official imo.

If anyone dirty flashed unofficial over official, please let us know how it worked out for you. I'll try it myself one of these days but don't have the time atm.

Since Version from May 8th my multitask list looks empty but the tasks are still active.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] BrotherZero:
Thanks for you extremely helpful reply. I have already searched the thread and nowhere could a find a list with the differences, all I could find is some people saying unofficial supports notch disable and battery percentage icon, but no definite list. Funnily enough going through the thread I found multiple posts by you telling people to search the thread. Which is not really helpful, especially when the thread is already +700 posts and going strong, it's hard enough already to find info without pointless posts like that.

Yeah, the thing I really want is hiding the notch (and I dont want to install some closed source third party app from Play to do it) so Im tempted to go unofficial. I thought the features from the unofficial would be in the official version, but I can see that they wont now if LOS demands that all devices have the same features, so we wont get notch hiding etc until the other devices do?

I do like humans.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] BenParz:
The thing is, every Lineage iteration is specific only to the device the maintainer intends to continue on developing. Since Abishek intends to make a lineage ROM only for pocophone, then the only way he can make it somewhat better is to provide features not normally added in the official version. You know that the rom is made by the OP if he releases changelogs. Personally, I like unofficial builds more than the official ones, but to each their own. Anyway, yeah, Dalyer has the knack for telling people to search and I agree with him to some extent, but yeah, it gets out of hand and at this point, he's probably doing that to increase his post count.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] dalyer:
You're welcome.

Well the fact is that this question *has* been asked and answered several times in spite of you claiming that it hasn't. Even if a thread is long searching and selective reading of it is not beyond most people's capabilities and is a better way to educate oneself than repeatedly asking the same questions over and over again.

---------- Post added at 01:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:42 PM ----------

Nope.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] BenParz:
True, it has been "answered" but those answers are so vague that one cannot deem it as a satisfactory answer to their query. Furthermore, if the question has been raised a couple of times, don't you think it is the duty of the OP to provide a FAQ section in the thread so that people will no longer have the need to ask the same question over and over again?

[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] TinoZgb:
I think this thread should be cleaned, or even closed completely, and separate threads should be opened for official and unofficial builds.

If the OP is willing to do so, ofcourse.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] djdelarosa25:
But it does?

I agree. The thread title explicitly states 'OFFICIAL', so my suggestion would be to stick to it.

[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] BrotherZero:
The unofficial seems better (to me) for F1, but I now understand that those extra features wont show up in the official version until those features are implementable in all official LOS?

Yeah, going through the thread I noticed there is an odd amount of posts from Dalyer just telling people to search the thread without adding anything else.

So can you show me a list of the differences between the unofficial and official version? If it's that easy it surely wont be a problem for you.

The fact is that repeatedly telling people to go search and find the answer themselves adds NOTHING to the thread. In fact it's the opposite clutters it up more and it makes the atmosphere much more unwelcoming and hostile if every other question in this thread is met by "Use the search function!", which I'm sure you can understand unless you suffer from some kind of social competence disability.

The questions will be posted regardless of how many times you keep telling people to use the search. And there might be a reason why these questions are repeated, not to mention, in a project like this things changes constantly, the posts in the beginning of the thread is often not relevant any more.

Anyone else having to press back twice to actually exit the Play Store with the latest official build and Gapps? Not sure if it's a LOS thing or Play Store since version 14.7.50. Clean flashing and hence upgrading Play Store to version 14.9.52 didn't help either so it's not a problem with my installation.

Also, considering PE will allow additional non Pixel features to its future builds, hopefully LOS will too so there's parity between official and unofficial versions.

Why restore cant be done? Is it cause i tryed to restore offitial? But i have backup of miui too, before i flash first time LOS i did backup of miui. Can it be restored or not? Using recovery from OP. I am afraid to backup and try to restore to see if it works? I am now on latest vendor and latest offitial release..

Hmm your help would be much appreciated here.

I am on a non-rooted unofficial build of Aprl 2019. Tried to flash the May 1 unofficial build but did not manage, as the installation gave an error 7 message.

Tried now to flash the May 9th unofficial, again the installation gave an error 7.

Through TWRP, I wiped Dalvik-Cache-System-Data and USB-OTG in an effort to do a clean flash of the latest 9.5.9 ROM and the May 9th unofficial. Unfortunately I still get the error 7...how can this be...I though with the wiping I was able to start afresh, but this is obviously not the case.

Any ideas on what to do? Cheers

[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] axolotl98:
Yep. I have also flashed the latest 9.5 FW build, but the error 7 keeps coming up. The only unofficial version that the phone allows me to install is the April one, which I already had on...

I wonder, should I flash the developer MIUI back and then try to reflash unofficial LOS? And can I flash MIUI through TWRP?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] fabrizioev:
Try flashing the 4.26 firmware, then clean flash Unofficial build. Make sure to wipe and then format data first. Might as well flash TWRP 3.3.0 beforehand if you haven't already while you're at it.

You can flash MIUI through TWRP but it will replace TWRP with stock recovery as it is included with the ROM and then you'll need to re-flash TWRP. I don't think it will be necessary.

[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] sueccae:
Quick question:

Does Format All in TWRP delete the Vendor, Firmware and Kernel, too?

I just want to get my phone as clean as possible before moving back to the unofficial. There are a few things that I'm hoping to get sorted and I just wanna make sure that I'll start from scratch.

I tried to find some information on that but I failed to find any specific information.

Also I won't be able to reinstall TWRP because I don't have a computer available so going back to stock is not an option.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] fabrizioev:
Hopefully we get additional feedback from the rest and/or possible workarounds. I wasn't experiencing this before clean flashing on May 3rd. Was previously on April 13th build. I wonder if it's possible to downgrade the play store version?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] axolotl98:
Thanks for the steps, also flashed the new twrp . Actually I was not formating the data, which after reading your post I did.

However, I still get the error 7 when I flash the unofficial version...I do not understand why...what else should I do to start from a clean system?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] fabrizioev:
My personal process is the following:

Boot into recovery, then Advanced Wipe everything but SD Card and OTG (last two options) then go back and format data (enter YES when prompted). Go back and Reboot into recovery, you will get a "NO OS INSTALLED" warning. Proceed to transfer the required files unless they are already on the SD card. Flash Vendor and Firmware from https://mirror.akhilnarang.me/MIUI/beryllium/beryllium-9.4.26-9.0-vendor-firmware.zip and then the unofficial build, followed by Gapps Nano (I use Stock with a config file), then Magisk. Reboot into system and that should be it.

If after following those steps word by word it still doesn't work, I'm afraid I don't know how to help other than maybe try to flash MIUI and then go from there.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] axolotl98:
Big thanks Fabrizio.

I did it. The difference in your suggestion was that you asked me to flash both the Firmware and the Vendor, while I was flashing only the firmware which I downloaded from the xiaomifirmwareupdater site.

[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Largamelion:
These are exactly my thoughts but I've kept quiet because I didn't want to start another off-topic discussion but now that it's mentioned I just want to say I completely agree. It's annoying to read the same questions over and over again but it's even more annoying to read 'search the thread' on every page.

Correct, this list does not show the differences as many of these features like the security patches are also in the official. Some of the important ones (for me at least) like hiding the battery icon but showing the percentage and one hand mode are not in the list. I appreciate the effort but this simply isn't a complete list.

I've seen this message in the past, you can switch it off somewhere in the security settings, but I can't recall exactly where. I do know it annoyed me for a while but I somehow got rid of it.

I too am thinking to switch back to unofficial. When I switched to official, the main reason was OTA updates but I somehow expected that the extra features from unofficial would quickly be added to the official, apparently I was wrong. Things I miss the most are:

- One hand mode

- 3 finger swipe screenshot

- Show battery percentage but hide icon in status bar

When I find the time I will probably switch back to unofficial one of these days.

Difference between firmware packages

Hi,

can someone please explain the difference between the firmware packages from here <https://mirror.akhilnarang.me/MIUI/beryllium/> and from here <https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com> .

The packages from akhilnarang.me with 460MB are much bigger than the packages from xiaomifirmwareupdater.com with 90 MB.

I don't get new lineage versions installed with the packages from xiaomifirmwareupdater.com. I always have to take the packages from akhilnarang.me.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] dalyer:
One is firmware only the other is vendor+firmware.

People installing custom ROMs generally need the latter.

ROM/kernel developers may use the former.
