I also have the X3 Poco, very happy with the ArrowsOS, smooth, fast. The apps you need to try ... nobody knows in advance if they'll work-

Unofficial recovery works also fine, no other choice than using one of them.

Battery consumption is much better than with MIUI, but I am using the vanilla OS, without google. I think that without the google apps you need less battery.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] gessler2244:
I have a few apps that refused to work on rooted phone, only with magisk hide worked most, and one of them even needed an app called island, all this with xiaomi.eu firmware on my old Mi Max3. Now with ArrowOS on my poco x3 I need to use Magisk hide for just one of these apps(Banking) and everything works fine. Even Gpay works fine. TWRP I use the newest 3.5.1... from brigudav which can be found here on another thread. Battery I´m satisfied, lasts some days for me and velocity is excellent, I could not imagine being faster. I use vanilla version with nikgapps core. Stable, fast and very good battery life.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] blekr:
I was also in your situation, I refused to move to a Custom ROM because my banking applications would surely not work (as it had happened in the past), and I refused to deal with Magisk, but after reading comments that Arrow OS, I think that I will solve your doubt below:

* Safetynet ☑️ (Needed for banking apps)

* Google certification ☑️ (all apps in the store)

* Widevine L1 ☑️ (Netflix HD)

It also has a fundamental feature for some banking apps, as the apps also don't seem to detect that the bootloader is unlocked.

Another feature that I love is the ability to be able to set a maximum battery charge percentage limit, which will allow you to leave it connected for as long as you want without the charging cycles going fast.

Testing costs nothing, I moved yesterday because it became insufferable for me to deal with so many bugs in every MIUI update, and I couldn't be happier.

Guys, what are your thoughts on battery consumption? I feel like my battery is draining pretty quick, what you you think ?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Billytromp:
I have the same. About 15 to 20 percent drain overnight and nothing will fix it. I've naptime installed which would speed up the device going into light and heavy doze modes, reinstalled this ROM clean, and monitored apps with GSAM(rooted). Funny thing is that all the drainage comes from Android system and kernel, with apps only contributing 1 or 2% total, which makes me think not much can be done about it.

Ideas anyone?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] mark_at:
Do you use the Gapps version or the vanilla version? I have the vanilla version and battery difference over night is minimal. Very happy with battery life!
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] AngusYoung14:
Same here, no gapps and zero battery comsumption over night in airplane mode.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] mark_at:
I think airplane mode is not really consuming battery.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] iambumblebee:
Wew, 15-20 % drain is weird! I'm using the gapps version and i have just 1% drain overnight. Btw which dated build are you running?

Hi there

First of all im not sure if this is the right place to post this

But anyway, I'm new in this phone but I am so amazed by the number of devs developing ROM for this device

So can someone gives opinion on their preferred ROM and why

Also is it possible to make voting for each user preferred ROM in this XDA forum?

How is smart charging supposed to work?

I use it with the default settings (80-60). As soon as the recharge reaches 80%, the charge stops and the battery is discharged very quickly (with the charger connected). The battery reaches 80%, 5 minutes after the battery has already dropped to 76% (airplane mode activated). Is it normal?

I am using the version with Gapps.

Thanks !

And Amazing Rom !!!
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Sketzu:
Can I flash this directly from CorvusOS?

1. Clear data/cache

2. Flash arrowos

3. Wipe dalvik

4. Reboot?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Paladin209:
What version of MIUI were you running prior to flashing Arrow? I want to try flashing a different MIUI image that has native call recording and then try flashing ArrowOS to see if it works.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Master One:
So the latest update removed the hide/lock feature from the ArrowOS launcher and introduced AppLock instead.

I have to say that I'm not impressed by that decision, because hiding apps in the launcher was useful, but locking apps really isn't (I mean, the phone is usually locked anyway, so why would I want to lock certain apps if they can be unlocked with the same unlock measure as the phone itself?).
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] inuer:
This rom support display 120hz ?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] hmptec:
This is a great rom with regular updates. Thanks so much to the dev.

Is this the rom that comes with MIUI camera? Thnx. I dont want to root bcoz of banking apps but also want good camera.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] gessler2244:
This rom support display 120hz ?

YES, 60, 90 and 120Hz.

Is this the rom that comes with MIUI camera? Thnx. I dont want to root bcoz of banking apps but also want good camera.

NO, and is not supported, but on mine ANXCamera(Porto of Miui Cam) works, but without ultra wide camera.

If you want MIUI CAm there´s only the xiaomi.eu firmware.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] leinadark:
one thing I can say is that this rom has no miui Camera, so if you want that kind of camera, better stay in MIUI or use EU Rom.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jjcdennis:
Master One, can you confirm if with the latest OF (which I have flashed) that nandroid backup and restore works. Also, somehere you posted a note where you noted that you use OandBackupx.

I'm looking for a backup and restore solution, preferably with OF, but notes going back in various forums suggest there isn't a working OF or TWRP nandroid solution yet. Is this correct?

​
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Master One:
OAndBackupX for app and app-data backup, OrangeFox for boot and data partition backup.

AFAIK full nandroid backup isn't supported (yet) because of the dynamic super-partition, see here:

[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] :
In the past I have tried this ROM and all working fine except the ability to pay using NFC (Gpay and also my bank apps). I will try again...

Please, can point to the right way?

Is best to use Vanilla version with OpenGapps or Gapps version?

The ROM includes the safetynet fixes or I need to install it? If the case, what version of the patch?

I need to install Magisk or anything else to pay using NFC (if it is possible I don't like to root)?

Thanks in advance!
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jjcdennis:
Thanks for getting back to me. With OAndBackupX, can I backup the apps and app data and then restore in a different rom. I have a few issues with ArrowOS and want to test out something different, without the hassle of app installs and password entry - can't remember them all.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Master One:
Yes, that's the purpose of being able to backup apps and apps-data.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] gessler2244:
I use ArrowOS Vanilla and nikgapps core, NFC works fine. Didn´t need Magisk or anything else. But you will need to root your phone to install Arrowos or any other Custom ROM .
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] :
I know I need to unlock the bootloader (not root) to play with custom ROMs, but if isn't mandatory I prefer to do not root after ROM install.

Are you using GPay in conjunction with the NFC or any bank app?

I assume that you do not have registered your device has a "developer device" at Google.

Thanks

[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] gessler2244:

so everything was working fine for me up until i tried my first ota update (4th april) and after rebooting lots of google apps stopped working.

Previously flashed vanilla arrow os + nik gapps omni.

tried to wipe the data from the specific apps namely google play services, google play store, google app.

wiped cache/dalvik

tried to backup and factory reset and restore (phone doesn't get pass "phone is starting"

any idea how to get it to work?

Long time lurker, first time poster here.

Firstly, I just wanted to say thank you very much to the Arrow OS Development Team and everyone here that has contributed in helping. With all the information here, I took advantage and wiped my Mums newly purchased Poco X3 and installed ArrowOS following all the instructions set out here. The phone is now working like an absolute charm! She is finding it far easier to navigate in comparison to the original OEM OS which was just filled to the brim with bloatware.

She is more than happy with how her phone is currently running now that she has got all her apps up and running. I installed the release right after the Auto-rotate issue was resolved, round about Page 73-77ish. Since she is happy with her phone as it stands, shall I hang off with newer updates?

Orangefox is installed on her phone and I enabled the update settings. ArrowOS has stated it has a new update available but I've asked her to hold off from updating for the time being. My concern is updating her phone may cause newer issues and I'll be responsible for getting her phone back up and running if anything were to go wrong.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Maybe I should consider taking a full backup of her phone now as it stands in the event I do decide to update? In all honesty, I felt if things were running smoothly like they currently are, then maybe I should just leave her be, but if you think it's worth updating, I'll go ahead and do so.

Please advice and thanks again for all the awesome work! You guys and girls have helped put a smile on the face of a little old lady!
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] SkaboXD:
Updates are not reliable as in stock ROMs, you need to download full ROM and do Dirty Flash but some future builds won't boot with Dirty Flash because current build is too old and latest build just changed a lot itsef in firmware, vendor and other aspects of device. My advice is to backup her data and do only do only Clean Flash of ROM from time to time (every 6 months per say).
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] boody shaban:
Please i would like to ask you something, the audio in this rom is amazing but the performance is way worse than the stock rom. Im no developer but Is theres a way to somehow port the audio settings to enhance the miui stock rom's audio?

Tell me from where u got the audio libs or module or idk, i just want the audio on stock rom to be like arrow os

( you can feel the difference in bass and direct volume control while using poweramp on both roms, highly noticable quality as the miui rom somehow greatly limits the bass so its low)

I tried Magisk audio modules like jamesDPS but i cant do my own preset its too advanced.. I really need the audio values from your arrow os bro.

[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] gessler2244:
No, NFC and Gpay worked without Magisk at all, it´s only one brzilian government app that refused to work without magisk and magisk hide.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] bupeapoop:
Thanks for getting back to me. The next time I see my Mum, I'll go ahead and backup all of her data in the event something was to go wrong using OrangeFox.

With your advice, do you mean wiping the phone, installing the latest version of ArrowOS in addition to Gapps and restoring all of her data using both OrangeFox and OandBackupX for app and app-data once both ArrowOS and Gapps have been installed?

For the mean time, should I decline all future updates whenever they pop up on my Mums phone relating to ArrowOS?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] SkaboXD:
Yes. Also before flashing ArrowOS, install newer vendor+firmware (or xiaomi.eu ROM if you can't find it) if newer ArrowOS version requires it. You can reboot to recovery, no need to boot to MIUI.

Yes. In Updater settings, you can disable ArrowOS updates notification so It's not bothering your mother. Once in a while, you can check what's new manually.

Cheers.

Hi, please help me with the following 2 issues on my phone:

- alarm doesn't work with the phone shut down. I'm used to sleeping with the phone off...the first morning with Arrow os I didn't wake up!

- LIbrelink up app (HERE you can find more details about this medical app to monitor diabetes) doesn't work. It scans the sensor but always an error message appears.

Thanks a lot
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] ayad.phonex:
i don't know about the alarm issue but the librelink app doesn't work for me neither, forget about it i contacted the Devs of the app they said it does not work on an unlocked bootloader!

i use the app myself
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] SkaboXD:
I only know that Symbian Nokia phones would ring alarm even when phone is off. I never had an Android phone which could do that.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Revontheus:
1. The ROM has no functionality that allows it to alarm even when off.

2. Not sure, but apps such as those not working are usually related to the bootloader being unlocked.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] :
This option is available on MIUI, but not on AOSP
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] bupeapoop:
Perfect! This makes a whole load of sense so thank you for that.

You also reminded me that I may need to install newer Vendor+Firmware like I did initially to get the ArrowOS installed and working properly.

When it comes to taking a full backup using OrangeFox, what options do you tend to select? Has anyone been successful in recovering their data after a clean install? For whatever reason, it never seemed to work well with me using it on my own phone using TWRP. Is it any better with OrangeFox?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] SkaboXD:
I select everything except MicroSD Card of course, but Restoring backup was never successful for me. I tried to restore crDroid & ArrowOS but nothing. Bootloop. I tried with brigudav TWRP, maybe with OrangeFox, you will have more success.

I need some help here.

I unlocked the bootloader and my first experience with new rom was with ArrowOS.

Ever when I go to recovery my data are encrypted and recovery dont ask me anymore for password to decrypt it. So how can I decrypt the device definitively?

When I unlocked my older MI8, storage was decrypted ever. Reading some posts, I saw some people mentioning about encrypted and decrypted devices.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] bacitoto:
1- Check both Google Pay and Google Pay Services on MagiskHide

2-Also check banking app of your choice

3- Magisk->Modules->Install from storage->Universal SafetyNet-Fix-v1.1.1.zip

Edit: I also repackaged Magisk at the end, you might need some restarts to pass safety net

[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] blekr:
I trust what AccuBattery recommends as good practice for the care of Li-ion batteries, as it is based on 2 research papers (screenshots attached). AccuBatery statistics show that the percentage in which the battery suffers the least wear is when the charge reaches 77%, for which I recommend setting it to 76%, so I have it configured (capture attached).

And regarding your other question, I can assure you (at least in Arrow OS) that if your system does not have any modifications, you will not have problems with widevine L1, nor will you have problems for Google play to show the Netflix application.

Thanks for sharing this link with me. Have you had personal success recovering your backup after a clean installation following this guide?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] bupeapoop:
Thanks for sharing your screenshot. This is definitely a nifty little feature that Iwas really considering.

Just so I fully understand how it operates, the start trigger is where your phone will begin charging? So if I follow your screenshot as an example, if you're phone has any less than 66% battery left, you're phone will begin charging? And once it hits 76%, it will then stop charging so you don't max out your battery. Is that correct? So if you have 80% battery and you connect your phone to your charger, the phone will only begin charging once the battery drops back down to anything less than 76%.

Hopefully I'm making sense as I did find the whole thing a little confusing! Hopefully you can help clear this up a bit.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] blekr:
What you mention at the beginning is exactly how it works. When it reaches 76% it stops charging and when it drops to 66% it will start charging again. I think the doubt was generated from the capture that I shared with you where AccuBatery recommends charging up to 80%. Why did I set it to 76%? I did it simply to further stretch the load cycle savings, at 77% it achieves less wear then i just set it 1% lower. If you look at the screenshots that I attach in this comment, you will understand better why I set 76% and not 80%.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] danny_bhoy67:
It always strikes me as a bit strange how obsessive people get about their batteries on here.

I get that you want to maximise the lifespan of the battery but surely the difference in just charging the battery normally, as and when required, and using smart battery to charge to a certain threshold is neglible at best over the average lifespan of a phone.

I imagine most people change their device every three years at most (and this is an enthusiast forum so some people maybe even less patient!) and so I wonder, over the course of 3 years, how much difference this practise actually makes.

My bet is that with modern phone batteries, some other function of the phone breaking or becoming a bottleneck (or maybe even just boredom or the want for a change) will be a bigger driving factor in changing device than any savings made to battery life by being obssessive about charging habits over than same period of time.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Master One:
No and I don't do any clean re-installs. Once ArrowOS is installed, just keep updating using the OTA updater.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Master One:
You sure that a difference of 0.05 cycles counts?

I've just kept the default setting (80/60) and it gives good usages for making the day.

With such a nice large battery it doesn't hurt to adjust battery charging to the actual usage profile.

With smart battery charging and 80/60 setting, it gives me plenty of SOT and I typically recharge during the night in flight mode (since I use the phone beside my bed with SnoreApp while sleeping).
