About Dolby Atmos on pixel experience on pocophone

Thanks XDA I successfully flashed pixel experience . On this pixel experience ROM in pocof1 we can install Dolby Atmos
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] SDF05:
Just a question with this ROM since I'm not familiar with it. Does it allow us to choose the apps we want (aside from the main functionality apps) or does it install every Google app that exists?

Mostly asking this because I use Vanced a lot more than the original YouTube app, and this would complicate things if the original was installed on boot as a system app.

[[[[[

There's no 9.3.0 here nor was there ever.

]]]]]

This is part of 9.3.x and that was how it was referred to in the original post ....

I just went along with the nomenclature ...loosly speaking...so it was there ...

[[[[[[

Custom ROMs definitely don't boot with vendor/firmware 9.3.1 (since removed)

]]]]]]

Actually the custom roms most people have tried don't boot from AKHILNARANG's vendor firmware.

I retired that vendor firmware hours after it was posted.

There has been a report of someone booting a custom ROM from vendor firmware 9.3 , but it was not from akhilnarang. I am trying to find that version of vendor firmware.

[[[[[[

I think somebody flashed JUST the firmware (not vendor part) from some or all 9.3.x and that worked on case that's what you're referring to?

[[[[[

Logically the problem should be the vender part, not the firmware part like you are saying above.

if the vender part was not working then it wouldn't work on any phone including stock roms (miui)!! And that's because the vendor part comes direct from Qualcomm.

The public part of the firmware should be the one causing problems. This is the part that our devs alter. ( the firmware has a private and public part)

[[[[

For the moment most or all custom ROMs will only work on vendor/firmware 9.2.15-9.2.25

[[[[[

And that's because we were all using the vendor firmware from one source - akhilnarang and that source has problems.

So, I installed the CAF version of this and I am really liking the speed! :D I just have a few questions, though, and I hope that someone will enlighten me:

1. Whenever there is a new version, can I safely dirty flash it over the one that I currently have or do I need to do something else?

2. Which kernel do you think would be best for this ROM?

3. I've noticed that it already comes pre-installed with the GCam app. Do I need to do my own tweaks or is it pre-optimized?

4. Whenever I reboot the device, I had to go into the Messenger app (Facebook) just to start receiving messages, is there an option that I should toggle to change this behavior?

5. Is there a way to find out how much current/charge I am getting (like how mA it is currently at when charging)?

Several of your questions can be addressed by reading/searching the thread.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] abeloman:
I bet akhilnarang just extract vendor from MIUI betas, and he doesn't modify it. Seems the problem is related to something on ROMs sources, not vendor per se
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] dalyer:
I just flashed stock beta miui 9.3.4 to get the original/pristine 9.3.4 vendor/firmware installed.

Then I fastboot flashed twrp again.

Formatted data, wiped everything and flashed PE CAF.

Wiped cache/dalvik and rebooted.

Then stuck at Pocophone boot screem as before.

So I'm not convinced that the 9.3.x vendor/firmware works with some or all custom ROMs.

And I'm not convinced that AKHILNARANG's vendor/firmware zips are somehow "flawed".

Edit: just did the same with stock beta miui 9.3.1 and same - stuck on boot screen when booting PE CAF.

The latest vendor/firmware that I can get PE CAF to boot on is 9.2.25. I think it's the same for most or all other custom ROMs.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] varunbiday:
1. I do it, and it works for me. You can always take backup and clean flash to be on safer side

2. Derp which comes with the ROM is good itself. It's subjective; try different kernels and see which you like.

3. It works great by default, tweaking is subjective and optional.

Hit thanks if I helped you ✌?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Misterone01:
then I tried to flash the zip file, it tell me "error 7" how I can install it witout this ?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] droidjunky90:
which zip file are you talking About?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] dalyer:
OMG - yet again....

Read the thread and instructions for flashing ROMs.

Error 7 means your vendor/firmware is out of date.

Flash 9.2.17 or later - just flash 9.2.25 the latest that works with most custom ROMs.

Again - please read up on things before posting such basic questions that are already answered....
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] ImQseft:
Facing the same problem on CAF. LTE logo is disappearing and I can't connect to the internet. I'll play around with the APN and preffered network type and eventually it would temporarily work using the same APN and preffered network type settings I was using before. It's just the toggling back and forth between the settings somehow resets the connection and enables me to connect. This isn't a permanent solution. You have to do it every couple of hours or so, because the issue comes back.

I don't experience this bug on AOSP. However, the reason I switched to CAF is because in AOSP, sometimes, I can't end calls. It stays on the call screen even though I already pressed hangup. It usually happens when I end the call before they can answer (when their device is ringing).
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] melodystyle2003:
I would suggest to reset settings in mobile (settings->system->reset options->the first on top) to see if helps and also let us know the outcome.

CAF version support F2FS or not ?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] BenParz:
I came from NOS and I really want to try the CAF version of this rom. I clean flashed everything and I Restored the exact same apps I used in my previous ROM.

To my surprise, my battery went down from 93% to 85% overnight. I usually reboot my phone after using so I dont think it is due to one of my running apps. What could be the culprit of this massive battery drain? I never experienced this using NOS.

[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] dalyer:
You'd need to check battery usage with something like better battery stats to find out.

Could it be related to the Bluetooth wakelock issue?

If so switch Bluetooth off, reboot and then switch BT on again if needed.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] rokban:
what are apps you guys use which requires root?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] BenParz:
I didn't have bluetooth on since I installed the rom tho. But I will try turning it on and off to see if that changes things.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] ImQseft:
I made a custom APN and the issue hasn't returned yet since. Maybe it's a CAF thing where the APN isn't automatically configured correctly or smtg. I'll post an update if ever the issue returned.

As far as I know L1 certification only happens on that but persists thereafter.

So I did the Bluetooth thingy you recommended and it actually worked! There is far less idle battery drain now compared to the first few hours after flashing the ROM. Can you fill me in with the details about this particular bug and why it happened?

My phone was on MIUI 9.3.1, and after flashing this ROM I can't boot. Any solutions?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] SabinChhetri:
May be due to vendor Firmware 9.3.1. People say they stuck on boot screen when they used Vendor firmware 9.3.1 or they come from MIUI 9.3.1.

Your only resort I think is to downgrade the MIUI version and then install PE ROM.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] dalyer:
Yes - most or all custom ROMs won't boot on anything other than 9.2.17-9.2.25 at the moment.

They hang on the Pocophone screen on 9.3.1 right now.

Problem seems to be in the vendor part as others have flashed 9.3.1 firmware only and it works with custom ROMs.

I presume that some vendor layer APIs or functionality changed that is no longer compatible with custom ROM images.

No custom rom dev has commented on this issue here AFAIK.

Flash vendor/firmware 9.2.25.

I use franco at the moment but no good reason or than that I bought his app so feel obliged to get some value for money. :D

Seriously though I'm hoping that it extends battery life a bit at the expense of pure performance but I haven't tried measuring yet.

its a non technical reason bro, its just the fact that i haven been used to AOSP since nexus 4, nexus 5, samsung S4 with the (R.I.P Cyanogenmod) and the fact that Lineage OS has taken the driver seat to complete that journey is the reason why am still sticking with AOSP :)

At the moment the AOSP version seems to be the more stable and bug-free version from what i've heard.

I am also not sure which version i will take (still waiting for the 72 hours to be over to unlock my bootloader) but AOSP is my favorite at the moment.

The next update should be ready in the next days - maybe after that my first sentence will be nonsense^^

Same symptoms as with android auto when connected by cable to cars screen... Hasn't been fixed yet and its been going on for a bit now (on AOSP roms, not on CAF).

[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Amineka00:
You should use the search feature before asking but here you are:

requirements: unlocked bootloader, twrp 2.3.2.3, vendor firmware 9.2.25 ( something like that, i don't remember) and pe rom obviously, dfe to disable force encryption , magisk for root

1.fastboot flash twrp (adb)

2.backup data and remove all security (pw pingerprints)

3.wipe system cache dalvik vendor

4.flash new vendor

5.flash rom

6.flash dfe

6.boot then magisk for root

Search more, there is some good guides here, this is just my knowledge, not 100% accurate. Good luck!
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] dalyer:
Once again dfe is totally optional and should not be flashed unless you know what you're doing and decide that you really need it.

My advice.

After unlocking the bootloader...

Get official twrp for Poco F1/Beryllium from twrp.me

Use adb/fastboot to flash it

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot boot recovery.img

Boot back into twrp

Format data

Wipe all partitions except external sdcard/usb otg

Flash vendor/firmware 9.2.25 (see the first post in the LineageOS thread for the link)

(Flash dfe here if you really need it but I never use it myself)

Flash the ROM

(PE includes gapps but for ROMs that don't flash gapps nano or higher here)

Wipe cache/dalvik

Reboot and setup and enjoy

i would just like to add that before unlocking bootloader and flashing twrp and installing PE i took 7 days to read all the available materials ( ofcourse during work breaks and all only, not 24 hrs ;) ). before that applied for unlock permission and even after getting permission i didnt go ahead , i read what ever material i could, there are enough material available in miui.com and in xda, read them again and again, finally unlocked bootloader, flashed twrp and flashed PE all within 20/25 minutes. everything was smooth. So before asking others for help ,do read , to ask for help is the last option, not the first... sorry for the OT

Totally agree with all of this.

I did the same and continue to read up on threads to try to inform myself before posting questions.

I wish others would do the same and not be so trigger happy with posting repeated questions that have been answered already - often many times...
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Ultra_K:
You need to understand that not everyone has researched the exact same things as you. Those issues are absolutely acceptable complaints for someone to have after trying a ROM. It's not hatred or lack of willingness to learn, just some quick "hey, I noticed this" comments, at least that's how I've interpreted them.

I myself have two questions.

1. About the brightness, it would be OK if the maximum value is just the same as it was in MIUI (even if the 60% value in PE is equivalent to 40% in stock). The thing is... how do we know if that's true? I don't have two Pocos to directly compare in real time. From my not-so-good memory, it would seem PE's maximum brightness is nerfed as well, but if someone can tell me that it's all good then I wouldn't worry about it.

2. Isn't the maximum speaker volume output also VERY low compared to MIUI? Like, it's incredibly quiet. Makes watching videos almost impossible if there's a bit of background noise in the room. I don't think I did anything wrong installing PE, as I did as clean as a flash could be. FYI, I'm talking about CAF, dunno if it's a bug.

Those are two very noticeable problems, at least in my case. I like PE very, very much, but that doesn't mean I can't talk about issues and ask how to fix them, does it?

Even so, I'd like to clarify: I did research all I could, I seriously did. But couldn't find anything meaningful about what I said. That's why I ask, after exhausting all my options.
