Hi guys,

this is my first experience report about my new Poco X3 NFC with Miumi 12 after 14 days in use....

To explain: 2 years ago i got my first xiaomi redmi note 6 pro global. This machine is a fine thing, but i never liked the miui surface. So i decided to unlock and root the phone and use a custom rom. This was the very best decision for me.

So far, so good... At least i bougth my new Poco X3 NFC and i got 14 days ago. I heard a lot of "good" things about the new Miui 12, so that was one reason for me to catch this deal....

After nearby 14 days using this phone with this original surface Miui 12 i can say: it sucks, nothing else but the original apps are running smooth. It is nearly impossible to run an alternative launcher, really nothing runs flawless on this terrible, awful surface! The simplest things like "notification badges" etc. are not present, they still are not in function...

Ok, Miui "spend" a launcher: Poco Launcher. Hmm, nearby, but (for me) lightyears away from any kind of personalization. Change icons? Runs partially... Want to unlink the fu..... ring- and notification sounds? Misrepresented!!! This (for me) confusing settings menu? There is no better thing than a clean android system or custom rom!

The next annoying crap is the annoying advertising - i spend a "little" time to "destroy" this really sucking "feature".....

Oh, before i forgot: i tried to run the launchair launcher, ruthless launcher, nova launcher, microsoft launcher and at least hyperion launcher. With all this launchers it is on my phone totally impossible to run all features - on every other phone with custom rom or original they run like hell!

The one and only way to operate this phone "fine and smoothly" is this: leave it in its original condition! But who wants this? Personalization? Inadequate....

But yes, there are two things they are fine: the energy options and the camera app. But thats it for me.

So, this is my experience after 14 days and the next thing i will do is unlock the bootloader, install a recovery systen (maybe twrp or orange fox) and root the phone with magisk. With this solution i hope to improve some things - i 'll keep testing this :)

Best wishes and greets

I'm using Nova Launcher on all devices since a couple of years. Mui has the habit of preventing background tasks and autostart(never saw this before) for all apps except Xiaomi and Google ones and probably a few other. Autostart, notifications and widgets i only need for a handful of apps(including the launcher), and none of these worked out of the box.

But all relevant options are bundled in the app's context menu, no scrolling thru huge lists including all the system apps. Simply allow autostart, disable powersaving and give the app more or less all access rights. Running pretty well now. It's only the most bloated phone i ever had, but also the most powerful, so thats not an issue at present.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] thueringer:
Hi lecorbusier,

thanks for your answer.

With your sentence >It's only the most bloated phone i ever had, but also the most powerful< your totally right (y)

Yesterday i unlocked my X3, flashed TWRP - and wow: System destroyed.... :oops:

Turned to fastboot, flashed OrangeFox, puh, it 's not broken.... :D

Flashed Magisk also and today i will see what happen....

[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] SkaboXD:
Lmao, who told you that MIUI is a good thing. It's ok, but compared to custom ROM it sucks.

If you want to try custom ROM, ArrowOS is the best optimized custom ROM + Void custom kernel If you want maximum fluidity/smoothness as it's optimized for minimum latency and jank. Battery life is still good in my usage, maybe 2 hours less maximum, but it's worth it. With stock kernel, SOT is a bit better.

ArrowOS gets improvements every day on ROM side with fixes & improvements + occasionally improvements & fixes to the device side.

I tried 5 other custom ROMs (crDroid, Resurrection Remix, LineageOS 17.1, CorvusOS, NitrogenOS) and that's my experience.

Everything works except fast charging information with Xiaomi charger (all custom ROMs have this issue) & Miracast (which I'm not sure if it works or not since I never used it).

So all in all, just flash custom ROM in this one too!

Devil's advocate here ( :giggle: ), Xiaomi.eu with updated firmware and Stormbreaker kernel feels smooth as butter here -- but it takes some intensive tweaking.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] thueringer:
Hi there, good morning from Germany :)

A short "update"....

After "repairing" (see 3 posts above) I've done the following:

Installed Lsposed (Magisk), installed CustoMIUIzer and started "playing" with the mass of settings in it....

What should I say: I'm pretty impressed.

Almost everything is going as hoped and does what it should! Till now I got no numbers on my notification badges, but this is a part I can live with.

That doesn't mean that i have changed my opinion about the MIUI-Surface, especially the terribly nested settings.... But with a bit of work you can establish a relatively well-running system that you can personalize according to your wishes.

So for the moment I'm pretty happy, but I'm still testing...

Ah, before i forget to mention: magisk and safetynet was another problem. I have found a module that works (for me), look here

So, thats it for today, many greetings and happy easter

Hello everyone,

here 's another short update for miui....

The good news first: it runs, Ruthless Launcher is working, original camera app is fine, other things: see my post above...

That 's it!

Unlock by (or with) bluetooth??? Fail! It seems that Xiaomi only supports its own devices - what a crap.... :cautious:(n) I clearly miss this function.

I stick to my opinion: miui sucks....

The only point that keeps me from installing a custom rom is the camera app (at least for the moment)...

My conclusion: to use all possibilities of this device you "must" use a custom rom, otherwise you have to live with the restrictions :(
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] pnin:
My main reason to keep Xiaomi.eu, too. When LOS becomes official, I'll brace myself for intensive testing of camera alternatives...
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] dahrel22:
for me, personally, i dont like miui as well. luckily we have a bunch of custom roms out there and even i found a better rom for my daily use, i still try flashing some rom to experience some other features. tho, at the end of the day, i end up using my rom that i am using daily. if you want the rom with alot of customization, have a good BB, and have miui camera, i suggest to use Ancient OS
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] thueringer:
Hi all together :)

@dahrel22: thanks for your tip, it seems like this is what i was looking for...

I think I'll test it out, I can't do more than break it :D

Have a nice Sunday, many greetings from here...
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] dahrel22:
yes bro you better try it. im currently using the old build which is the miui verdor based. the new build comes with oss vendor but i think im not ready to flash it. i having trouble keeping my phone decrypted from oss vendor based roms. so i'll still be using the old build.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] Disasterpice:
After the updates my Poco x3 NFC restarts in stand-by mode or when I'm using whatsapp, suddenly the screen goes to black..and then back to the homescreen... :/

Does anybody tried a custom rom? I would like to give a try.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] thueringer:
Hello to everybody,

here 's my newest experience with "Miui-machine"...

I tried the tip from dahrel22 (see 4 posts above) und flashed Ancient OS 5.3 - I did everything according to the description, but in the end I had an encrypted partition on my phone.... 😮

Yesterday I had the great idea to cleam my device up und flash it again...

What can i say: it was a horrible trip 😀

Like before I 've done everything as described - but it ends with a lot of issues like "no root" and "no system" directory, unable to mount system partion and so on and so on... This action cost me a lot of annoyance 😁

(I tried this with two custom roms: Ancient OS 5.4 and Evolution X).

I was then able to revive the device using fastboot and the mi flashtool.

The Mi-Flashtool also ended with an error, but the system works - for whatever reason???

So at the moment I'm "driving" this damn Miui again and I'm really pissed off!

Maybe someone from you has a "smooth" idea to solve my problem??

Many greetings and thanks
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] dahrel22:
im feel so sorry when i read your experience. maybe some confusion because 2 builds at the same version have different vendor based. both of them are comes with 5.3 but one comes with miui, one comes with oss. as i say i really have a hard time to keep my phone decrypted on oss when im using orange fox (now im in twrp but still no planning of flashing oss) if you flashed the old build, i mean the miui vendor based build, i think the outcome will be better.

what version of miui are you into right now?

edit: you know i feel bad for you as you need to do this "mi-flashtool" kind of stuff. next time, if you make mistake flashing something, i suggest just to flash miui rom again (miui eu will do) using recovery (i suggest twrp). i did that before many times and it never fails me.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] thueringer:
Hi dahrel, at the moment I 'm on Miui 12... I tried to flash with OF and TWRP.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] dahrel22:
with the newest miui 12.0.9 from xiaomi eu? have you flashed the decrypted vendor? then try to flash the oldest ancient 5.3, anyways, one more stable rom i used is PE+. the new anx cam 2.4 works pretty well.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] thueringer:
Hi dahrel22, I used the Miui 12.0.8 global. What do you mean with the decrypted vendor?

I don't know the PE+...
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] dahrel22:
oh i mean, you keep your phone decrypted?

i usually flash the unencrypted vendor so i dont have to flash dfe. you can find it from here.

12.0.8.0

[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] thueringer:
Hi dahrel, thank you very much for the links above :)

I 'm not sure which rom i 'll flash next time - maybe Ancient OS or Evolution...

Hello! I'm thinking about buying this phone, but I wasn't able to find a definitive confirmation if it can be rooted or not.

I've found this shady looking site which claims it can be rooted and unlocked pretty easily, but I don't want to base my purchase on it.

{Mod edit: Link removed}

Unlock:

fastboot flashing unlock

Root:

Magisk/Kingroot/One-click root

Is it really that simple?

Thanks!

Link to this indeed shady looking site removed.

Stay well and stay healthy!

It was {Mod edit}, so people know.

Apparently it's not a good source of information then, but my question still stands.
[Nokia 5.4] Oswald Boelcke:
It doesn't matter if it's a link or a simple, easily understandable reference I've removed the link from your OP for a good reason. And as such I did the same in your quoted post.

We not only dislike links to shaddy sites because they are well known for the distribution of malware and warez but also because they are simply other phone related sites.

From the video, the WinMo 6.1's sliding panel looks quite cool, at least better than the boring HTC home, I think. Why I can't find anything like that on my Kaiser after the WinMo 6.1 update? Does it only exist on the WinMo 6.1 Standard? It's pity that we can't see the awasome sliding panel running on our Kaiser.

Hello everyone,

I have an issue since day one of using the pixel 5;

No matter which 3rd party launcher I use, the homescreen appears empty for a few seconds if I swipe up from the bottom to get to the homescreen. Mostly it happens if I'm using a heavy using RAM-App like camera or a mobile game. Is that related to my phone or an android-issue?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Strugus:
Hello,

I guess I ****ed up big time.

My G6 is currently in the state of rebooting over and over again. Can't access EDL Mode through volume up.

I only manage to get to factory data reset, but it does not change anything.

My mess up:

I unlocked the bootloader with this guide just fine: https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-offic...urrently-supported-eu-h870-usa-us997.3614719/

Until step 9 everything was fine.

But using the factory reset trick to enter the TWRP 3.5.1 it just didnt work. The phone would boot into normal android.

I then rechecked the LG Unlock guide.

The command "fastboot flash boot boot.img" seemed familar.

Not realizing the difference between recovery and boot I used the command above to flash TWRP.

Now the phone only reboots. No chance to enter EDL mode (I see it poping up for a split second, then the phone switches to a normal boot).

No chance to boot into android to use adb commands.

I guess my only option is to try to open up the phone, shorting two points and use the following post to get into edl mode?

https://xdaforums.com/t/lg-g6-testpoints-for-edl-mode-9008.3916962/

Or is there any possibility to recover it through the "factory data reset" menu?

Big thanks to anyone ready to provide some support!

EDIT: Nvm, sorry for "spam".

After trying over and over again I could get the phone into EDL mode. I then could fix the phone via LG Bridge. Will try my previous steps again with a older TWRP version (this seems to be the solution to my first problem)
[Xiaomi Black Shark 2 Questions & Answers] Romulo Martins:
Hey guys,

- Then my cell phone a Black Shark 2PRO came to a stop.

- I was using him playing PUBGMobile until he locked the screen and distorted the image on the screen, with that it did not work at all the volume buttons and on / off also did not respond.

-With this he turned off, I tried to turn on for a few times and he appeared with the Black Shark logo but turned off right after, there was only one time that he turned on completely and kept flashing the side lights and the S behind and I leave it off to decrease energy consumption.

- now I don't even call him anymore and I already took him in some assistance and unsuccessfully wanted to know if someone could help me or give me any tips for me to pass on to the assistant to try to get him back to work.

- remembering that when I connect to the PC it appears the name as a new device!

HI

for me the most important function is gps, but from all of the answers here I cannot make any conclusions. Some say big lag, 20min to get a fix, others almost no lag a all, instant fix.

If someone used the kaiser can you please compare it with raphael, (kaiser was ok for me,not great but..) so I can decide if I will part with the 1000$ sitting on my desk? :))

Is there a program that offers some hard evidence on the gps troubles, so I can compare it to other devices?

How long does the battery last when using gps igo or garmin mobile?

Thanx very much
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] bzdziagwa:
20min to get a fix? It's joke ?:) Yesterday I've tested GPS very hard (Nav iGo8 soft) and it takes no more than 1min to get a fix. I've made some tests before (just simple test by walking around the steets) and never have had fix delay longer than 2min.

Hi,

I use Google maps and Nav4All. With Nav4All it takes very long to get a fix. What I do is I start Google Maps, wait till I get a GPS fix (10 seconds?). Turn of Google Maps and start Nav4All.

So my gues is, that it's not the Touch Pro, but the software. I also had this with my old Mio TomTom could take forever and an old unknow AND Navigator worked almost inmediatly.

BTW, I have the Assisted GPS turned on

Hi,

something with gps(hardware or software) in Raphael is wrong. When I compared it with Kaiser, same software one each other in the car, raphael have lag(delay) 5-15sec. When I stop the car Kaiser display 0km after 2 max(rarely) 3 transition of speed display, Raphael has much more 5-15. While driving, arows is most of time behind the car(Kaiser) and sometimes in front of car on the route.

I've tested my pro yesterday with tomtom 7..

I had my fix in like 2 minutes...but I runned first the quickgps.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] DeepThought:
The speed of the first fix depends very much on three conditions:

1st) when was your last fix. if that was longer ago than a couple of days the sat-position-data is outdated.

2nd) how much sky you can see (f.e. between high buildings is not optimal)

and 3rd) the weather. With clear sky the gps-signal is stronger than on a cloudy day.

But you can increase the first fix very much by using the "QuickGPS" application included in the original ROM. With this tool you can eliminate point one.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] groofoo:
installed TomTom yesterday (version 7)

downloaded a city map.

and tested it last nicht.

fix within 30seconds indoors. (started the app to plan the way home from work)

during the drive home, i had no lag or wath ever..

worked like a charme for me.
