You don't need magisk (I haven't got it installed) and Netflix and banking apps work okey. If you follow the instructions you wouldn't have any problem. (Sorry if there are spelling mistakes i'm from spain hehe)
[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) ROMs, Kernels, ] alondero:
I did the same as you a few days ago and now running ArrowOS unrooted. Few comments from me:

* Magisk is not necessary - this is only for root. Rom does not come with Magisk you would need to flash separately if you wanted to root.

* 1 of my banking apps works, the other detected an unlocked bootloader and so doesn't

* No problems for me with Netflix nor Google Pay (rooted with Magisk Hide or unrooted)

* OTA updates - super handy!

Some observations:

* I am getting pretty bad battery drain at night - lost 25% overnight last night (same apps installed than when on stock). My theory is that it is to do with the AOD - it's bright and has much more info on it than the Poco version. I've set up a schedule to turn off AOD tonight to see if that makes a difference. Otherwise it may have been the aggressive battery management on Poco that was helping before

* I *think* you may miss some charger speed with official Poco/Xiaomi charger as it will be missing some of the proprietary charging tech. It's still fast though (despite what the AOD shows)

* The colours setting is missing options - the default is quite washed out in comparison to the Saturated colours on stock. I rooted to install Sa2ration which gave me the option. This then persists when removing root

* Dark mode is not quite as customisable as on stock (you cannot override force dark on a per app basis) - I'm currently using DarQ but that's a pain to do each restart

* The camera app from this ROM was a little too basic too in comparison to the Poco Stock Camera. You can install GCAM though which I'd recommend.

If I can sort out my battery drain, somehow get my other banking app to work (even with unlocked bootloader), and be able to control force dark on a per-app basis then this would be PERFECT. Otherwise this ROM is great and well worth giving a go!
[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) ROMs, Kernels, ] fr_jason:
Magisk is not mandatory unless you want to root and on that note I don't believe the ROM comes pre-rooted as I have to reflash magisk to get root after each update, this is not a complaint but an indication that for users that who do not actively seek out root can be at peace with this ROM.

Google services and Netflix work fine.

After my restore finished I rooted so I have to use magisk on my banking apps.

Usually once you flash the correct version of TWRP for our device, you can't mess up a ROM flash unless you flash a ROM for a different device.

You have flashing experience, so you're not a noob but it's good that you're approaching flashing today after some time with an open and inquisitive mind.

XDA has become a bit crap to search for information now, unlike the old version of the forums.

So this is what I do;

Open a Google page enter:

Site:https://xdaforums.com/c/xiaomi-poco-f2-pro-redmi-k30-pro.10675/ "keyword"

From there I'm usually able to find all the answers I need.

What questions exactly do you have regarding the flashing process?
[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) ROMs, Kernels, ] Faringan93:
Thank you for you replies, I'm amazed by how accurate and gentle they were.

I'll start unlocking the bootloader today and I'll proceed to flashing asap.

I think the flashing part is clear, thanks to you.

Anyway, in case the worst happen, is there some recovery tool provided by the manufacturer tounbrick the phone and maybe revert back to stock ?

I've seen alondero mentioning a substantial battery drain: how much screen on time are you getting? (personally I do not use aod though)

Is it possible to know how the screen is calibrated by default? Does it support P3 color gamut?

I've seen some people in the thread mentioning FOD problems? With FOD do you mean the fingerprint reader by chance?

Is the fingerprint reader working fine anyway? I kinda forgot to ask that before :D

Sorry if I'm asking too many questions but my phone is a very important part of my daily routine and I don't have too much free time at hand so I want the installation process to be as smooth as possible
[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) ROMs, Kernels, ] Sift:
I can answer a few for you.

1. There is mi flash tool for that but as far as my knowledge goes, don't ever flash and lock firmware other than your phone's stock firmware, or don't relock bootloader at all.

2. My phone's battery is good, can last 2 days with moderate use with heavy use of messenger/whatsapp. I don't use aod, by the way.

3. Fingerprint reader works fine personally. 9/10 times I can unlock flawlessly.
[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) ROMs, Kernels, ] alondero:
I'm glad that my comment has helped you :)

Btw I tried last night with AOD off at night and my battery drain went from 25% the night before to just 7% lost (1%/hour I think is fine IMO). I also had automatic brightness off so that probably didn't help.

On battery life / screen on time - I'd describe my usage as fairly light, but I could get 2 days of battery without charging (and thats with AOD on during the day). I'd say it's a slight improvement on stock but noticeably so (I may put this down to MIUIs aggressive battery optimisation being stronger than AOSP)

Had no problems with the FOD, if anything its slightly more accurate for me now (though that may just be how I've configured my fingerprints). I have had an occasional problem where the wrong part of the screen lights up when trying to unlock my device which means I have to turn screen off and on again to get it to work properly - this has happened may 2-3 times since I flashed 5 days ago. I also see a fix in the base ArrowOS yesterday that may address this https://review.arrowos.net/c/ArrowOS/android_frameworks_base/+/13161
[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) ROMs, Kernels, ] thurst306:
I am just stuck on the boot screen with this. Maybe I'm installing it wrong?

I boot into TWRP, then wipe data. Then I flash the firmware mentioned in the original post. Then I flash the rom itself (gapps version). Wipe dalvik cache, reboot system.

Then I see that slick boot animation, and nothing else. I figure that after just doing the install it may take a while to boot, but it's been at the boot screen for almost 10 minutes, now. Any help would be great.

The firmware I download:

Maybe I have the wrong version of TWRP? I have 3.4.2b-1206

I hadn't formatted my device. I did that, and it did boot, but then rebooted. I saw that systemui had crashed before it rebooted.

I got the systemui error on the second boot. I can't get wifi to turn on, though, which is strange.

---

It turns out, I am an idiot. I used an incorrect version of the miui firmware (miui_LMIGlobal_V12.2.4.0.RJKMIXM_682e9ad14f_11.0.zip).

I flashed the one linked in the original post, then the ROM itself, wiped dalvik, formatted the phone, then rebooted. All good!
[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) ROMs, Kernels, ] AlexJi:
Almost perfect ROM for everyday use, just needs a bit more work to be a complete substitute to MIUI.

• Charging speed seems to be the same as on stock with original cable and power adapter. Shame it gives wrong data on power and current. No idea if it works properly with root charge controllers like Acc/AccA.​

• SELinux permissive, though every banking app I've tried works, even contactless Google Pay. Just have to install it using a browser link that redirects to Play Store since ROM does not have it preinstalled.​

• FOD with screen off is a bit wonky in comparison to stock, but at least it works unlike in majority other ROMs. An exceptional implementation would have FOD area lighted up on first touch if missed.​

• It also misses color controls which is fixable with Sa2ration app (requires root), though it lacks predefined settings.​

• I am yet to find at least one ROM that would let me control touch sampling rate that would let me utilize that juicy 180hz touch of my Poco F2 Pro.​

• Quite disappointed that Wfd crashes, which is a dealbreaker to me, so gotta stick with Xiaomi.EU ROM for the moment.​

Telling that there are no obvious bugs or missing functionality is a bit of a stretch, however, apart from aforementioned issues, this is as close as it gets to a working stock Android on this phone, so really great job on that!

For those who have issues installing, here are steps that worked out perfectly for me on my European Poco:

Make sure you have unlocked bootloader.

Flash Fastboot version of Chinese 12.2.2.0 (don't lock bootloader), reboot in System, reboot in Fastboot.

Flash LOS recovery from SebaUbuntu (I find it much-much more reliable than any TWRP on Android 11 and it doesn't break ArrowOS OTA update functionality).

Reboot into recovery, click Apply update and adb sideload Recovery version of Chinese 12.2.1.0, reboot in System, reboot in Recovery, Data and Cache wipe would not hurt.

In Recovery once again click Apply update and adb sideload ArrowOS (POCO->lmi->Gapps or Gappless), wipe data and cache, reboot in System.
[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) ROMs, Kernels, ] fr_jason:
This is the one I've been using. Don't flash directly, unzip it before flashing.

Just make sure that you use a pattern lock or else you won't be able to decrpyt your data when entering TWRP.
[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) ROMs, Kernels, ] Faringan93:
So should I switch to pattern lock to use TWRP safely? Would no lock (no pattern nor pin) be better?
[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) ROMs, Kernels, ] Muqtada:

Hi, I am cuurently on xiaomi.eu v12.5. I want to give this ROM a try. I see on the forum that the ROM is stable and smooth enough currently. Also I understand that issues like passing SafetyNet without Magisk, Netflix availablity on PlayStore, fast charging, battery life are all OK. I use Google Maps frequently, I saw in some other AOSP ROM forums that it crashes with Gapps. Does this issue exist in this ROM? Also smart charging seems as an attractive feature for battery health (which is also absent in xiaomi.eu ROMs), is it included in this ROM ? (e.g charge up to 80% and stop there). Thanks in advance for your help..

[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) ROMs, Kernels, ] AlexJi:
You can always flash magisk module Acc and use AccA from F-Droid as a GUI to get same functionality on most ROMs.
[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) ROMs, Kernels, ] gdh80:
Thanks for your reply..Though not having hard feelings against it, I don't want to root the phone if I can avoid. Just thinking it would be nice if it is a built -in feature.
[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) ROMs, Kernels, ] AlexJi:
Since every single non-MIUI custom ROM for Poco F2 Pro out there for the moment has SELinux Permissive policy, rooting your device won't change much in terms of security if someone specifically targets their attacks against you.

In other words installing custom non-MIUI ROM will compromise your security much more than systemless root Magisk style. However, unless you install many potentially malicious .apks from unknown sources, I wouldn't bother much at all, but you do you.
[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) ROMs, Kernels, ] gdh80:
Hi,

I followed the instructions above for flashing the ROM since it seemed to be the most comprehensive guide on this thread. Btw thanks for your detailed input there. However I must warn poco global users coming from xiaomi.eu 12 ROMs that the 2. step above gave an error on Miflash ar the very beginning and caused a fastboot loop. Los Recovery couldn't detect my phone on USB connection so it also failed. Los recovery seems to be very simple Recovery with some very basic features when compared to the Chinese one. Speaking of Chinese Recovery, it must be the 1206 versiyon, 0623 causes error -1 during ROM flash (it was mentioned on the beginning pages of the thread but I unfortunately missed it) . Anyway after failing in the 2. step, I managed to carry out the 4.step via the Chinese 1206 Recovery and also flashed the ROM succesfully.

After one days usage everything seems to work perfect. Came across some minor bugs like wrong charging Info on lock screen but not so important. SafetyNet, Netflix, Volte, fast charging are all OK (without the need for rooting bu the way) The dev states that Selinux enforcing will also be added. This ROM may be a good alternative for MIUI if the update goes on. But of course should be tested on long run. Congrats and many thanks to the ArrowOS team and the Devs. :-)
[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) ROMs, Kernels, ] AlexJi:
Hmm, I didn't use MiFlash to flash fastboot rom. Probably should've mentioned that I've been using Platform-tools r29.0.6 (higher versions gave me errors).

Just extract contents of platform tools inside fastboot firmware folder (the one with .bat and.sh scripts), connect phone in fastboot mode and run flash_all. DO NOT run the one that locks bootloader flash_and_lock unless you really-really know what you are doing. I've been jumping versions back and forth, changing regions numerous times this way.

I've opted for LOS recovery exactly for this reason. It is very simple with a small set of robust features. Gives me access to internal storage both through MTP and ADB commands, and is able to wipe cache and data and flash recovery firmwares through adb sideload command. Shame it didn't work out for you.

I've tried different versions of TWRP and Pitchblack recovery, but most of their features like decrypting /data/ didn't work for me on Android 11, so I never looked back. TWRP that is installed alongside with Xiaomi.EU firmware works like charm though.

[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) ROMs, Kernels, ] gdh80:
I see that (most probably) people are currently on MIUI as expected and these AOSP threads are a little bit quiet. I am sure from my past LG G3 and Samsung J5 experiences that they will start to take hit as soon as Xiaomi stops the official updates. But in the meantime I also think that there are too many different releases (about 8 or 10 A11 ROMs?) for such a narrow demand at the moment. One has the first set of bugs and the other has the second set. I think the efforts must be united as much as possible to eliminate the common problems like FOD, wfd, selinux, camera etc..

Hi, I'm trying to install the ROM but I have incurred into an unexpected problem:

I'm flashing the twrp-3.4.2b-1206-K30Pro-wzsx150 that was posted a few pages ago but it apparently cannot read internal storage.

It says "unable to mount /data (success)" and internal storage dimension is 0.00 MB.

I'm on a Eu Poco F2 Pro with Android 11 and MIUI 12.2.4. I've tried a few times, both with pattern lock (with and without fingerprints registered) and no lock at all but the result is the same.

Hi, for those who're encountering the same problem I managed to get it working, it was pretty simple actually.

It was just a matter of booting to recovery via fastboot command because manual reboot wouldn't trigger data decryption process.

The rom seems really polished, right now everything is working ok. Developers and mantainers did a real fine job. Maybe battery consumption is a little bit higher than MIUI but i'll hold my judgement for a few days, when my use has normalized.

Yesterday, a few hours after configuring the newly installed rom I noticed it wasn't the last version available so I tried the built in update procedure (16/02 to 03/03)

The installation script seemed to work fine, but after rebooting to system the device was stuck in fastboot mode.

I just let the script do its thing then hit "reboot to system in twrp" and nothing more.

Then I tried wiping but it didn't solve a thing and I had to flash firmware and rom again.
