8. Boot into Recovery by typing in cmd: fastboot boot recovery <recovery_filename>.img (The file may not be named identically to what stands in this command, so adjust accordingly).

This command will not flash permantly the recovery, it will just temporary boot into it and afterwards you will flash permantly the twrp.img you copied into your Internal Storage or SDcard in recovery partition.

For example: fastboot boot recovery C:\Users\Retrial\Desktop\twrp-3.5.2_9-0-beryllium.img

Above step din work for me… After research I found the below one working for me Poco F1 Latest TWRP

fastboot boot file_name.img

recovery keyword can be ignored..

Corvus OS is worth mentioning in Android 11, previously there was no maintainer, but now there's regular monthly updates. It's super stable, as it always has been with A10. It gives smooth performance and superb battery 🔋 backup, and of course usual customization options. And it has much less issues with Apps, Kernels, Heating, Slow Charging, Dirty flashing, etc compatibility compared to many popular ROMs listed.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Retrial:
Ask the dev, to host the ROM somewhere else. I can't include Pay-Per-Click sites (pling) or telegram which redirect there, to download the ROM. XDA rules. I bet he won't do it so...

Btw, which popular ROMs have these issues you mentioned? At least these I've awarded working perfectly fine.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] altafharsh60:
@Retrial , Need your thoughts on this.

My "hey Google" doesn't work on locked screen. There could possibly be 2 reasons,but I'm not sure.

1. Flashed custom kernel "Optimus Drunk"

2. Flashed >>Xprivacy Lua >> hidden Google Play services.

I'm on pixel experience plus ,July build A11.

Please help.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Retrial:
Hello,

"Hey Google" should work fine.

I don't know if it's due to Optimus Drunk or the Xprivacy.

Etude (stock) is pretty good kernel, I recommend you to stay on it. Why you are on July build not in August? Try the August build.

Anyway, September update will include build in fix for safetynet so you don't have to use Xprivacy.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] altafharsh60:
Just now updated to August build, yet it doesn't work at all.

Strange me, thinking what might've caused to break it . 🤔🤔
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] amn1987:
If you are using lite GApps like for ex. NikGApps Core I had read that flashing a separate package (Velvet addon) was necessary for this functionality.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] altafharsh60:
But Gapps are included by ROM by default.

Can I still flash that velvet addon ?

Pixel experience A11, August Build.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] altafharsh60:
Thank you people, I had Google Assistant app installed from playstore. I uninstalled it since "hey Google " is pre included and it worked.

Why Optimus Drunk? : Charging speed is good and good battery backup.

Hope September build solves all the issues.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] milancnakum:
Got it, as per XDA rules. My only point was that it's worth mentioning, but you have a good point.

Some of them had issues with custom kernels, like Pixel Plus & their thermal hal, which NGK fixed btw in last patch. But none other support it perfectly. Some reported slow charging in CRDroid earlier (and some in Pixel as well), not sure about current status though. RROS usually gets into issues when trying to flash custom kernel or some magisk modules, and dirty flashing rom doesn't work like other ROMs in case of issues and need to wipe & re-install entire ROM.

Hello!

Great thread, I check it constantly to see your latest changelog updates.

I was wondering whether you can help clarify the differences between the versions illustrated in the screenshot below. Which one should I download for my Poco F1 [PE11+] since I would like to try something other than Sanity and Parrot.

Many thanks!
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] SPLESHER:
Hey, these are same app but just with different package name, you can choose which you want
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] alrafiq:
Many thanks for replying.

If you could be so kind and explain to me further, why would it be the same app but appear in different packages under different names? What differs?

Thank you for your comprehensive OP.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Retrial:
Hello,

I've awarded the GCams based on my own opinion. Opinions may vary so it's best to try out and take some pics/videos by yourself and see what is best for you. I personaly use sanitys and parrot043 in my device but BSG are also good, so you can use two gcams depends on what u need.

Sanity's GCam for me it's the best since everything is working properly include video stabilization etc. and the quality is close to the reality. It's still old version but doing the job fine. Afterwards Parrot043 and BSG are also solid choices.

Can you please help me. I already tried everything from your guide, thank you, but my problem still exists.

im using PE Plus. I left it charging and when im about to use it, it restarted again and again. Tried everything, even install new custom rom but all i got is only the animation on the start then reboot bootloop starting again. cant even force shut down my phone it keeps on rebooting. the animation wont finish and it will reboot again.

rare times i got to the setup part then somewhat it will restart again. then bootloop on the animation part will happen again non stop..

please help me. ty.

----- now it only boots to system when connected to charger. but when its not connected, it will only force reboot bootloop again and again after 2-3 mins.

Did you tried to do it with my guide?

Since you have TWRP installed, wipe everything, format data and then follow the guide to clean install official miui stock ROM. But as I said the issue seems to be with your Battery. Let me know if u replace the battery and if the issue get resolved.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] drillbitfocker:
yes i did. flashing new rom via twrp, xiaomflash, flashing firmware vendor, clean/dirty, almost eveything. sometimes when im trying to flash a new rom, it will reboot while on the process. i flashed DFE without magisk also, it helped me somewhat boot. now only my charger makes my phone alive. when i removed it, within 2-3mins it will reboot.

i also think that my chipset is faulty coz when theres an animation just like the miui logo it will reboot. when i play, it will reboot.

but when the charger's on, it wont reboot.

im hoping that if i bought new battery, it would be the battery causing the problem. not mobo or some parts of my phone.

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] amn1987:
Thanks. It seemed to work. Now I don't have to worry about clean flashing procedure of NikGApps when skipping several releases.

Off-topic: Is it possible to edit file permissions of voltage_max located in sys/class/power_supply/battery via TWRP? In TWRP's File Manager I can only get to battery and no further. It's seemingly shown as a file instead of a folder.

And more importantly if its possible will the tweaked file permissions stick after booting into the ROM? I know with root access it's easy just wanted to know if via recovery it can be accomplished w/o root or not?

Bitwarden is a great password manager which deserves to be on this list. Why I mentioned it? It is open source, secure, cross platform & can store unlimited credentials in cloud for free.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] TioCareca:
"Insert AD block here"

😉

Now on a serious not, it's any good?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
If you need a basic password manager for personal usage for free, it's the best option out there. It is cross platform and available as Firefox and Chrome extension.

There are a few better options like 1Password but you need to spend some cash. 1Password is great for business usage.

If you don't want any of your password stored in the cloud, Password managers based on Keepass are still the best.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Retrial:
I will re-write - short out the Privacy & Security Guide when I get some time.

When it comes to password managers I always prefer local and open source options such as KeePassXC (for Desktop) & KeePassDX (for Android). KeePassXC has build in plugins for browsers you talking about, also has 2FA build in and much more. You can also host your database on the cloud of your choice without having to trust one more company for your database.

Bitwarden is very good and open source I will add it (edit: added at useful apps) but as I said I still prefer KeePassXC - KeePassDX. Also to unlock some features in Bitwarden such as 2FA. attachments etc. you need to pay.

1Password is paid and closed source password manager, and I don't think it offers something better than the free and open source alternatives. It's consider solid company tho.

Because of these and some more I still recommend KeePassXC for best overall password manager. With a proper set up it's a lot powerful.

Btw, I love when the community talk about open source, privacy and security :) People need to start thinking about the online privacy and security much more.
