STEPS I did to get my POCO F1 recognized on FASTBOOT on my laptop with AMD Ryzen 5 5500U CPU on USB 2.0 Port

On Phone (in Developer Options)

-Disable USB debugging

-Revoke USB Debugging authorizations (below USB Debugging)

-Default USB configuration option (search for it) -> Selected "File Transfer"

-Restart

-Enable USB debugging

-Give Authorization to your laptop/PC (a pop up will appear on PHONE) after connecting ur phone

On Laptop/PC

-In "USERPROFILE"\.android\ Delete everything in it

-Uninstalled all Other 3rd party ADB tool and also ADB drivers from "Device Manager" (if it's there)

This screenshot is the current one (after installing correct drivers) & it will show up in "Device Manager" (ONLY If USB Debugging is ENABLED) after connecting the USB cable to the laptop

Earlier it had an exclamation icon on it, maybe due to some error or incompatible driver I previously installed

-Restart

-Install USB Driver for POCO F1 either Manually (search on youtube) or through Mi Flashing Tool (this will install all drivers required) and I did both

-Create a .bat file with these lines below, and run it as an administrator, then reboot:

@Echo off

reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\usbflags\18D1D00D0100" /v "osvc" /t REG_BINARY /d "0000" /f
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\usbflags\18D1D00D0100" /v "SkipContainerIdQuery" /t REG_BINARY /d "01000000" /f
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\usbflags\18D1D00D0100" /v "SkipBOSDescriptorQuery" /t REG_BINARY /d "01000000" /f

pause

-Download Google's SDK Platform-Tools for Windows from here and extract it in ":C drive" > Run CMD on the same path where you extracted it and then give these command to check ADB shows your device

"adb devices" in Normal mode

"fastboot devices" in fastboot mode

@Retrial Is there a way to flash Pixel 5 Props (For Unlimited Google Photos) in Lineage OS without installing magisk. I mean, can Pixel Props be flashed via TWRP?

Love this thread, thanks for creating it.

Where did you get the parrot 8.2 version ? I can only find 7.6 version on celsoazevedo.com and other trusted websites
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Retrial:
Nope, the easiest way is with Magisk unless a dev make a flashable zip for the current ROM.

If that is important for you, you can use Pixel Experience or any other ROM which have by default Pixel 5 Props.

Changelog:

Changed POSP ROM link to their GitHub for lateset releases.

Updated link for Paranoid Android ROM May Build. (Bugs: Random Reboots, WiFi Display (only Chromecast works), Ok Google while screen off)

Added links for AICP, DerpFest, StaxiOS, AncientOS, CesiumOS, RevengeOS, CherishOS, ConquerOS, HyconOS, StagOS, CalyxOS (CalyxOS-Android Verified Boot -AVB- is not and cannot fully enabled in POCO F1 because the bootloader cannot be locked on custom ROMs).

Added XDKernel.

Added FlameGApps.

Added a link near NikGApps to create your own NikGApps package the way u want it.

Note #1: I update the Collection & Guides daily (if needed), I just sum up when I post the changelog.

Note #2: Some ROMs like Corvus etc are live but I cannot add them in the list cause are hosted in pay-per-click website (pling) which is against xda rules. Same with some ROMs which are not updated in xda but they are active in pling. Also the same thing with DSB (Dual Status Bar) for ROMs. Please ask the devs to choose another host platform so I would be able to add them in the collection. Don't ask me.

Hi, does Parrot043 gcam video stabilization work on PocoF1?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Retrial:
Hi, some users reported it's working fine.

Try and see 🤓
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Pixel props does not seem to work when using FlameGapps. Not only in Lineage, even if I install crDroid (pixel props included by default) with FlameGapps, device is not recognized as pixel by google apps.

It's not working for me, what settings do you use?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
What ROM?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] cuongphoenix:
MIUI 12 12.0.3
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
It's working fine in all major custom ROMs based on Android 11.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] guhvanoh:
The first thing you should do is backup. Unless your data is not important to you.

Next read the instructions for the ROM you want to install. Hopefully they are clear

and concise. Going from A10 to A11 the method of encryption changed from FDE

(Full Disk Encryption) to FBE (File Based Encryption). As such you'll need to do a

clean install wiping most of your partitions but not the internal data one. After

installing the ROM and gapps if needed, you need to Format the data partition

(format, swipe, type 'YES'). DFE is not worth the trouble it causes. Don't think about

it, don't talk about it, just forget about it. And since you want to stay encrypted, pretend

it doesn't exist. So yes, in general your steps would work. And yes you have to format

data. As I mentioned before, follow the instructions of the ROM you want to install.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Retrial:
Keep in my mind, some ROMs are decrypted by default so if you want to encryption you must choose ROMs which are encrypted by default like PE, LineageOS, ArrowOS etc, otherwise you have to flash encrypt zip everytime you update a ROM.

I don't understand what u wanna do with MIUI, everything you need is on this thread (check my collection & guides). (don't flash any russian vendor)
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Koppis:
Thanks a lot, this fixed the fastboot problem in MI 10
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Retrial:
HavocOS is decrypted by default. So basic you need to do the opposite of DFE. Ask dev to make it encrypted by default or always use an encryption zip after every manually flash/update. Don't make OTA if u make it encrypted, just manually update the ROM, always along with encryption zip. (Check the guide about DFE & Encryption)

Most ROMs have build in vendor & firmware. If you need seperate Firmware for any reason take it from my Collection in section FIRMWARES. (it's not the whole ROM it's just firmware)
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] TioCareca:
Yes, alway format data if you don't use DEF...

Hey thanks.

The force encrypt zip is made by gwolfu the dev of crDroid.

In what ROM you trying to use it? Try to mount vendor first and then flash it. (Always on clean install of a ROM)
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] TrippyEngine:
I read the instructions but I am confused. I am currently using a miui based custom rom and my device in not encrypted. What is the easiest and fastest way to encrypt my device while staying at that particular rom, preferably without wiping data? Can I use the encrypt option in settings or the developer options?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Retrial:
In what ROM you are?

In MIUI ROMs I don't think you can encrypt back if the ROM does not come encrypted by default.

The encrypted zip is mostly for AOSP ROMs. I am afraid you could bring something.

Ask the ROM deveveloper.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] TrippyEngine:
I'm using miui 12 based Miroom. It was encrypted by default but I flashed dfe in the past, if that helps.

Why does project 404 have an award? The devs are unhelpful and unwilling to fix any bugs
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Retrial:
Well, if it was encrypted by default u need to do clean install and let it as it is. Backup ur data first.

What kind of bugs it has? As far I know does not have any serious bug. If you find something report it to the dev @_undead.

Facebook force closing and some browser apps force close. Reported and devs aren't interested in fixing it. Support is appalling for users. Such a shame as its got potential, I've spoken to a few users and we are all having issues.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] TrippyEngine:
Would selecting wipe data in twrp be enough or I have to flash the rom zip again after the wipe? I will backup my data, yet I wonder if the internal storage would be wiped after the encryption or I'll have to transfer the data again to the internal storage
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Retrial:
You can try to do it but I am afraid you will end with bootloop.

I suggest to:

Backup your Data > Clean install the ROM > Put your data back and you will be good and safe.

New Update: 22/06/2021

Changelog:

Added links for CAFEX and Candy ROMs.

Updated links for EvolutionX (changelog) & Paranoid Android. (June updates)

Added link for Modiefied version of MIUI 12 Global Stable ROM. (Based on Stock MIUI ROM section)

Reorded some Kernels.

Reorded GApps and awarded with trophy MindTheGapps.

Added MGC 8.2.300 Parrot043 V5 at my AFH Mirror.

Changed the link of san1ty Google Camera Port to my AFH Mirror so you can find the latest (outdated tho) ports for beryllium only and not for other devices (like poco x2) to avoid confusion.

Added some notes in DFE & Encryption Guide, for the correct steps to flash in encryption.zip since in Official TWRP you need to manually mount first the vendor. (It should automatically doing that but it's a bug I guess, report it to dev for faster fix if you want)
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Retrial:
I will keep an eye on it and I will remove the award if others confirm these bugs.

EDIT: Bugs confirmed, award removed.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] _undead:
We're aware of the issue, but it's due to a master backport that enforces proper java references which apparently the Facebook app doesn't have and hence the project lead is unwilling to fix it due to privacy issues surrounding Facebook. I've already explained, and it is out of my hands. The best you can do is ask them to fix in support group (not beryllium, but general rom support group). I don't have time to narrow down this issue since I am occupied with work.

That being said, this is not an appeal to revert the move. As end users you want your daily apps to work properly and I understand that very well.

gcam video stabilization does work on latest parrot043 gcam MGC 8.2.300 Parrot043 V5 but 60fps and slow motion don't work.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] duttyend:
Thanks for your findings. Here are mine on Lineage OS 18.1 (latest version):

I noticed that setting EIS on or off doesn't change anything... Don't know if it really works.

Also, I feel (I'm not sure, it's just an impression for the moment) the quality of pictures is slightly inferior compared to BSG last working version.

On my side, slow motion works but stutters every 2 seconds or so (which didn't happen with recent BSG versions).

Small update fixing some bugs.

Mod changes:

I was uploading the time you wrote this 😆
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Retrial:
I am still on 7.4 Parrot and I am kinda happy with it. I've tested both in low condition with night mode and Parrot seems more close in reality in terms of colours etc and the quality was also fine.

However if someone makes the perfect xml for POCO F1 in BSG, I would consider to change. 😋
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] duttyend:
I've installed the latest Parrot and it's working very well. I might keep it as my daily driver per your suggestion.

Regarding BSG versions, I had been using every new version since the beginning of the year without any xml config file, and didn't face any issue (except having to manually set session codes to get EIS). What in your opinion is missing from the bare-bone versions?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Retrial:
I am not expert on this, but as I said Parrot Gcam (7.4 which I use) seems to me more close to reality in colors etc and have nice quality instead BSG add some kind of yellowish on photos (check it on white walls or background). I hope with some XML configuration BSG would be more optimized for our device. 🤷‍♂️
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] duttyend:
Oh I see, if I remember correctly, this yellowish tint depends on the settings of WB, if you choose Google White Balance, it disappears

Is really Mindthegapps better than Nikgapps my friend? Last package of mindthegapps is very old, from april
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Retrial:
I just gave trophy to MindTheGapps because it's the most stable and has everything u need out of the box. You can install the rest from Play Store.

However NikGApps is also very good and that's why I gave medal award, but you need to seperate flash Android Auto addon for example or figure ur own config.

I just find MindTheGapps to be better for newbies cause it's ready out of the box with the basic needed apps, Nikgapps is nice too tho 🙂

I've just installed again BSG Gcam (latest version from yesterday) after Lineage OS fix, and I wanted to give a short report compared to Parrot latest version (8.2.300 v6) after comparing 10 shots in the same exact conditions, angle, etc.

To my eye, BSG is superior in every aspect (from less pixelation when zooming a lot to the file size which has been consistently inferior by about 1 MB for each picture).

Also, the White Balance was exactly the same to my eyes, without even enabling Google WB on BSG.

Just wanted to let you guys know.

Have a great day
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Retrial:
For me sanity's port is the best overall. However he stopped maintain it, so the next one I found close to sanity's port was Parrot 7.4 and I stick there.

I will test the latest BSG when I have time but in the mean time try to compare pics with parrot 7.4 vs latest bsg and let us know. If you could share some pics without mentioned which is which one, so we can have a fair comparison, would be nice.📷
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] duttyend:
Yeah it would have been a good idea to send you guys a blind test with the samples I gathered, but I've already deleted all the files unfortunately...

I didn't compare with 7.4 version of Parrot Gcam so you may be right and currently I don't have much time. Hopefully someone can do it
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] figure7810:
Thanks for answering bro. Also i wanted to ask you, what do you think about generic Aosp apps that comes prebuilt inside roms like LineageOS? I mean aosp browser, aosp messages, aosp contacts, aosp calendar etc? Are they correctly synchronized with the data that I already have in google's servers such as my contacts, messages and calendar?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Retrial:
LineageOS apps are lightweight, minimal, open source, safe, privacy friendly and useful. Are fine but you may miss some features google apps has.

Contacts and Calendar it should sync fine if the GApps package you use has the sync feature, Messages I don't think so.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] duttyend:
Talking about CM / LOS apps, do you know what happened to the great cLock widget (it was, in my opinion, the best looking and unique widget for calendar + weather) ?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Retrial:
I have no idea. :p It's not there in LineageOS? Tbh It was a bit confusing to make it work with weather, needed separate providers etc. You can give a shot to Today Weather if you want.
