Did you hide the notch? Can we put status bar icons on notch?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] theHari08:
Use nachonotch app
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Mohammed779:
I did not hide the notch. Left side fits a 4 digit clock + 2 notification icons (or 1 icon + dot) perfectly. Right side fits 4 icons. Icons do not go under notch.

Im sorry but wasn't this ROM maintained by Kartick Mostwanted? I'm a bit confused

Update: Got it. Sorry for asking.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] nihalot:
I have a few bugs:

I tried to update from v6.1, but it gave me error 7:miui firmware version 9.11.17 needed

I tried to clean flash, still the same. I assume this is because the firmware needed by this version is older than the one I have installed(9.11.24, from MIUI 11.22.0 ROM)

So i just deleted the error 7 check from the updater script but now I feel that wasn't a good idea because:

1-phone keeps shutting down if I try to reboot without USB connected

2-after every reboot I need to disable SIM1 in settings, otherwise the icon fro SIM1 shows in the notification bar(I have the SIM inserted but dont use it)

Is anyone else experiencing these or is it just me? What should I do to fix these, if I'm the only one with these bugs

Thanks

I didnt have these issues on v6.1 of AOSPex
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] abeloman:
You just had to update your vendor... Make sure download 9.1.24, delete all magisk modules prior to flashing, and remember to flash DFE (in case you don't use encryption).
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] dalyer:
Never ceases to amaze me that people don't simply search for "error 7" where they would quickly find the advice that you mention here. :eek:

Fair play to you for being so patient! :)
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] nihalot:
Where can I get the latest vendor? I use encryption, hence didnt flash DFE.

Thanks for the helpful reply, unlike the reply below yours. Never ceases to amaze me, the number of people on their high horses.

PS: I did google error 7, which is why I deleted the check from the updater-script

But is there any way to keep the full disk encryption?

EDIT: on v6.1 of AOSPeX, I didnt have to format data and had full disk encryption too
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] kunalpatel00750:
1. Flashed updated firmware

2. Flashed new 6.3 ROM

Dirty Flashed and Working, coming from a previously clean v6.1 AOSPeX and MultiRom with Magisk:

1- uninstall multirom

2- flash 9.1.24-9.0 vendor

3- flash v6.3 AOSPeX

4- flash magisk 18.1 - (i had a weird version [Magisk-v18.1(18100).zip] that wasn't working needed to download again)

5- flash multirom

6- reboot and wait

so far no issues, will update if i get the reboots that people are talking about.

[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Seki_:
I just installed 6.3 this morning. I was on 6.1 before, because I didn't know about this no longer unofficial version.

I don't know why, but everything feels veeery smooth now, which is pretty awesome. The new features like customizable recents iconpacks and adjustable volume steps also work pretty well.

I don't want to be rude, but, I'm just wondering, where the statusbar clock settings went. The changelog said something about them being fixed now, but they seem to be completely gone.

Or I just can't find them. If that's the case, could someone tell me where the statusbar clock settings went?

Thank you for your answer. I forgot to mention, that I meant the option to move the clock in the statusbar to the right, because that option is definitely not there. Although hiding the clock now works, so that's probably what the changelog meant.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Mohammed779:
On it since build release, everything working nicely.

Probably the only missing thing is thermal profiles

Also vibration intensity could be upped a bit to be on par with PE, NOS,

How's the notch handling in this rom? Does it blacken the status bar or does it move everything below the notch?

Umm he needs to flash the vendor again. Cause OOS had a patch for it to run OOS. If you plan to use other ROMs, you need to flash firmware+vendor again before following the steps.

Whenver the ph goes to deep sleep the ambient display doesnt work (no ambient display sensors) also the face unlock doesnt work on 1st time wake up from deep sleep, fingerprint works fine though, after unlocking for 1st time after deep sleep everything works fine again until i leave the ph & it goes to deep sleep again, Any solutions?

Does this rom include the thermal config setter https://github.com/CodeElixir/android_device_xiaomi_beryllium/tree/lineage-16.0/ThermalConfigSetter commit by CodeElixir. It dynamically changes the thermal profiles thereby increasing the performance and battery life.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Seki_:
On version 6.1 you could hide the notch like on Google devices. Disable the area besides the notch and move everything below. Currently, on 6.3, this feature is missing, but it was confirmed, that it'll be back in the next build.

I can't help you with your problem, I just wanted to say, that using ambient display might not be a good thing. The screen of the F1 isn't suited for ambient display and drains your battery faster. Phones with AMOLED screens just turn on the pixels they need and leave the black ones black, but that's not possible with the screen inside the F1.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] gryzly123:
Just updated from 6.1 (had to wipe data too) and am massively disappointed about the missing notch hide. My experience with AEX was very pleasant up to this point so I'm sticking around for a little longer waiting for the update, but the next update better not require clean install again!

Other than that, really cool work as always.

When the phone goes to deep sleep it takes 4-5sec from the powerbutton to be pressed for the screen to wake up, pls fix this, the fingerprint sensor too doesnt work in this time, it works fine after phone has waked up.

Update: Found that the same problem with ambient display after going to sleep the plone takes 5-10s for ambient display to show up once the sensor detects motion. I use ambient display to see time & its really convinient that the screen wakes up on removal from pocket.

So I'm still on 6.1 as I don't know how to update it properly without losing data.

I'm also wondering wether it's possible for you to integrate the new certification that Xiaomi pushed in the latest update where note the POCO F1 can stream HD DRM protected content on Netflix and Amazon Prime. Also one of the features I'm really hoping you could integrate is Swipe Fingerprint For Notifications as I've tried many apps and they don't work.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Mohammed779:
Fingerprint swipe not possible, Because it's a hardware limitation, it can't be integrated.

For L1, you can just install MIUI, boot it up then and wait like 15 min to get L1 then you can install custom ROM.

You'll probably need to clean install if you want 6.3 as some said they ran into issues when they dirty flashed.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] theandroidguy:
Well for updating to 6.3 I'll suggest you do a clean flash, and if your phone is encrypted make sure you backup everything from your internal storage to be on the safe side. Steps to be followed

1.Backup everything, extract the boot.img of 6.1 and go to TWRP, flash the stock boot.img and then flash DFE, if your phone gets decrypted u r good to go else u need to wipe data partition + internal storage.

2. If phone is decrypted then just clean data partition, system, cache, flash vendor+rom and DFE if you want to and if you phone is not decrypted then do a factory reset from TWRP, wipe system, cache, data and then start flashing vendor+rom
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Newbie4775:
When I flashed 6.1 I didn't flash vendor as I was already on latest MIUI and I'm planning to put MIUI first to get the Widevine L1 Certification then Flash 6.3 so I need to use Mi Flash tool to put the latest version of MIUI right.

BTW thanks allot guys I didn't expect such a quick response.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] theandroidguy:
Sorry bro but I don't know how to get back to stock, even I've deleted my miui nandroid backup, I guess u r right, we need mi flash tool + stock firmware to get back to stock
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Negi9:
Flash the latest miui zip using twrp followed by magisk (to retain twrp).

Flash dfe if you don't want encryption. (if you're already encrypted you might have to format data as security patch is 1-2-19 and basically all custom roms have 5-2-19)

Boot up miui, wait for a few mins. Once you have l1 certification, just flash whatever rom you want and that's it.

REMEMBER TO BACKUP ANY DATA YOU NEED.

Stuck on pocophone boot screen after many tries to flash AEX

Hi all!

I've tried to install AEX for some days. I've followed tons of tutorials etc. After each try, same result: stuck on Pocophone (unlocked) boot screen :-/

- Poco F1 Unlocked ok

- Latest official Global Developer rom V9.2.15 MIUI 10 installed before the flash ok (installation doesn't start from stable version and ask for developper version)

- boot to TWRP ok

- Carefully follow up install instructions of this thread. Installation of latest AEX (AospExtended-v6.3-beryllium-20190214-0555-OFFICIAL.zip) ok

- Reboot nok (stuck on pocophone screen then reboot on recovery in loop) :(

Does a flash firmware vendor is still requested before flash AEX?

Any ideas of what's wrong?

Thx
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Mohammed779:
Maybe one of your files are corrupted?

Anyways, get latest 9.2.25 vendor and firmware

Flash it,

Flash AEX

Flash gapps

Then you can just reboot into ROM.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] V7BHl1fBkTVNzPR9E13I:
Have you tried booting with the phone hooked up to pc with the usb cable? For me it doesn't boot without this trick (I think it's a bug with encryption)
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] dalyer:
This always works for me on all ROMs...

In twrp

Format data

Wipe everything except external SD/usb other

Flash latest vendor/firmware (currently 9.2.25 - don't use 9.3.1 for the moment as custom ROMs won't boot with it)

(If you don't want encryption then flash dfe after every flash of vendor/firmware but I never use it and don't recommend it)

Flash ROM

Flash gapps if you want and they're not bundled in ROM

Wipe cache/dalvik

Boot

If you want magisk/root

After the first boot

Go back into twrp

Flash magisk installer zip

Wipe cache/dalvik

Reboot

If you ever dirty flash a new version of the same ROM then first disable magisk modules as some (non systemless?) can cause bootloops on such an update.

If you forget and end up in such a bootloop then flash the magisk uninstaller zip to get past it and reinstall magisk after.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] freepenseur:
[/COLOR]

Many Thanks Dalyer! I've carefully followed your procedure. It works nice! :victory:

So it seems the vendor firmware update is mandatory for some custom roms (@theHari08 maybe could you update main instructions)

Without flashing disable DFE, it reboot, display new animation then go to recovery and ask for a psswd (the system doesn't' boot)...

;)
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] dalyer:
Well you don't have to flash vendor/firmware every time you flash a ROM.

Most or all custom ROMs need vendor/firmware 9.2.15 or later at this stage.

So it's mandatory to flash it if you don't already have that installed.

But if you were coming from, say, MIUI beta 9.2.25, then you should not have to flash vendor/firmware again.

At the moment 9.3.1 won't work with most or all custom ROMs and they won't boot.

Best to just flash the latest "working" vendor/firmware 9.2.25 for the moment.

My steps may include unnecessary wipes (I'm open to correction on those) but since they work reliably I'm happy to recommend them.

I don't understand your last point - are you saying that without dfe you cannot boot?

That is not my experience on all ROMs that I have flashed according to the steps that I outlined.

I never use dfe and never have boot problems.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] freepenseur:
I mean that I had to flash the "Disable-Force-Encryption-Treble" just after vendor-firmware otherwise the phone boot then go to TWRP and ask for a passwd... I don't fully understand DFE's involvement in the installation process :confused:
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] dalyer:
That doesm't make sense if you followed my instructions for a clean flash - including FORMAT data and wipe everything else.

dfe patches vendor/firmware to disable forced encryption (hence the name) but it should not be required just to boot.

You must have done something else like not format data to cause this.

Personally I never use dfe and avoid it like the plague but others have reasons to use it.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] freepenseur:
I've first made a format data then wiped system, data, cache & dalvik. I'll do some tests ,-)

Edit: By wiping all except external sd and usb otg then flashing the vendor-firmware , I can install AEX (other ROMs too) without issue and doesn't have passwd locked boot. I just need to forget the first of all step of installing official ROM (the firmware flashing takes over)? Thanks again for your support ,-)
