[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) ROMs, Kernels, ] LaMarMôt:
Ok, so... after the unbelievable bootloader unlocking period I thought I went thru the hardest part... but installing CrDroid happened to be kind of an hassle :-/

Here's my few takes on it if that could help somebody.

Was on MIUI 11 something. Unlocked the BL

Mi flashed 12.0.3 (which I couldn't do with locked BL by the way) as required by OP.... Some weird error at the end as [MENTION=10473553]romabah[/MENTION] pointed out (1st sweat...)

Flashed LOSR by SebaUbuntu... rebooted on it... couldn't... bootloop

Flashed Mauro's twrp... rebooted on weird all chinese screen (stock recovery?... more sweat).... managed to boot on Mauro's twrp after freaking out period :p

Kept following instructions (format and wipes), couldn't adb sideloaded rom (bug in Mauro's twrp) so OTG flashed it.... infinite booting screen (eye of isis), never actually booted

redone all that a couple of time... same same

Flashed chinese twrp, was able to adb sideload rom.... for the same result (pretty infinite eye of isis)

SOOOOOOO......

I succeeded with only that way:

flashed losr from fastboot

reboot on recovery FROM FASTBOOT (fastboot reboot recovery)

format data (and cache probably)

sideload rom

and then reboot system... boot OK

SO, only way to install this rom for me was from LOSR by [MENTION=9769628]SebaUbuntu[/MENTION] (which gave me a bootloop on first flash, maybe cause you have to format first AND reboot to recovery FROM fastboot command)

BUT, recovery is gone after first rom boot... reboot=bootloop... install then mauro's or chinese's (seems more stable, dunno..)

So to answer my question and [MENTION=10697517]kkosnuss[/MENTION] one, yes (of course you might say ;/) you can install this rom without gapps whatsoever. (you can install microg, from magisk module (if you install magisk) (some permissions are then missing in selfcheck, uninstalled microg with debloater and termux and reinstalled from fdroid ticked all the boxes for me), maybe would have worked only installing from fdroid with extended privileged magisk module first i guess. Or nanodroid zip from twrp is probably the less painful.. dunno... [MENTION=10697517]kkosnuss[/MENTION])

ANYWOO... Great rom,

huge thanks

to [MENTION=5334294]raystef66[/MENTION] <3 <3 <3

Some concerns are:

- camera is absolutely bad out of the box, apparently there is way to fix that (anx probably), so not a problem (except the only color available for lighting the popup camera... dunno if i will survive that :P )

- minimum brightness is indeed very bright (especially compared to stock) as some users pointed out (used vlc for a minute and noticed the app can lower the brightness to a much lower level, so i guess it is possible somehow, dunno)

- no DC dimming

- have lost L1 widevine (or have I ? cause i didn't check it on stock... could anyone check and let me know what is the widevine level on theirs please ?)

Any workaround for that ?

(i doubt it... would back to stock restore it or gone forever?)

-couldn't pass safetynet even with all the tweaks on earth (or almost... props conf and all...) only to find out it will never ever pass it anymore with only microG running

(is that so?

have I understood well?

)

Did that yesterday night, didn't explore much more... will play around and report, try to install camera and stuffz... graphic card drivers update works by the way if any gamerz here

Cheers !
