So, I've unlocked my POCO F3 after getting bored of the extremely aggressive battery management of MIUI (and bloatware). I'm already a user of cyanogenmod/lineage since android 2.3 and it's good to be back.

Problems that I've detected. There are 2 features that are NOT working and should be written on the 1st page:

- Main camera APP doesn't support macro or wide lens

- Dolby audio is not available (this is a featured functionality of POCO F3). The audio is terrible and thin without it.

Apart from that, changing ROMs was smooth. Just follow the wiki page.

PROs:

- RAM consuption is much lower, background apps are not killed at all times and notifications are not delayed. Which was a problem with MIUI (stock)

- Everything seems smoother

CONS:

-AudioFX doesn't work properly. If you increase the bass and treble, only some apps use the equalizer and most of it stop using it after the music changes (spotify for example). We need proper dolby support

-The camera app can be replaced by GCam mods, but MIUI stock camera seems to produce better results.

-I have a feeling that the brightness is not as high as with MIUI when using the phone outdoors in sunlight

-The "neutral" color scheme is a bit oversaturated, can be fixed manually

-There's no notification led on this phone. MIUI had an option to light up the screen with effects. LineageOS only has "always on screen" or "turn on, show notification, turn off (ambient display)"

-The wifi connection is dropped to mobile data frequently if mobile data is ON, even under aceptable 5ghz signal levels (I also had this problem with redmi note 4 and LOS18/19)

-Device shows up as uncertified. A fix is available on this thread page but even after applying it, some apps are missing from play store (netflix). This is not a real bug but a feature of LineageOS

-If you use a slow charger that only has the +5v and GND conected on the usb port, the phone doesn't report that it's charging but the battery percentage goes up. stock rom reported this correctly.

Overall, I think the experience is "fine". This is still a beta quality ROM (no stable release yet) so use it with caution.

Shout out to @althafvly

Cheers​

Why people talking bad about this rom like they deserve their say, do you pay for the developer to develop this custom ROM? I use Custom ROM on K40 since LOS 18... And I upgraded it normally without having to reinstall it again... Using an android phone with a custom ROM you're suppose to have the mentality things will always be slightly shîtty... Or not as smooth as stock ROM, else stay with stock ROM.

I have a few problems here and there I solved it myself... I never see anything that is so bad that is the developer's fault to have to fix it... I chose to use Custom ROM, I chose the risk.

The other day, I started to notice my phone has no sound anymore, and video not playing smoothly... I waited for the weekly update, and it didn't solved the issue, then I realized I recently upgraded the firmware to the one newer than the recommended one, I rollback just now, sound and video all back to normal! Maybe you action is the problem but you decided to blame other for your own mistake?

All these "is the ROM stable for daily use?" Stay with stock ROM or get an iPhone.

Re. the issue that keeps the screen on.

I've just realised that @althafvly pushed a change to fix that

https://review.lineageos.org/c/LineageOS/android_vendor_lineage/+/333526

kudos for him!
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] TigTex:
As a developer, you want to be aware of all possible bugs.

Myself have ported a cyanogenmod (android 2.3) to zte mooncake and I could not test under all environments and all features as better as other users. Feedback is extremely important, if it's accurate and respectful.

My post was not blaming anything but a bug report and to share my own experience before other users try this rom.

If the devs do anything about it or not it's up to them. Of course one can fork the project, make patches and request to upstream them
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] woofwoof75:
Of cos being reasonable about this and that… but lots of post seems to be very needy… and like to diss the whole project… and demand the developer to do to their liking including not have to carry on their normal life, I think that is not fair to the developer.

Some even request features… they never even know some ROM are meant to be that way… they must request all the bells and whistles.

I did tried to learn to compile a ROM, but most of it beyond my limit. 😜 and Android keep increasing their minimum requirements… just when I got myself an 8GB ram spare laptop I could use to compile, they want 12GB as minimum. 😤
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Morghoth:
Double click power button to open the camera (in gestures settings) is not working for me. A lock screen will show up and that's all.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Emeraldawn:
Netflix shows up on the Play Store for me. It's not instantly thought.

I don't know what triggers it but after a few reboots you can install it. I also cleared Play Store data after installing the fix, thought it may be unnecessary. (Tried after a clean install of the latest build.)
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] confluced:
Hi,it often automatically change to network traffic when wifi's quality is not good but still usable, could I stop this?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] TigTex:
Yeah, this is one of the things that I've also noticed. This is common across other LineageOS devices and versions, so it's something that it is designed like that. I get the idea, but the implementation is not optimal. Only workaround that I know is to disable the mobile data while using wifi
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] RCkiller:
Thanks for the info, I just got this phone and flashed it for the first time. I got the issues you mentioned and I couldn't figure out where I botched it. Since I don't watch videos on it, I'll just wait for a ROM update.

EDIT: Quick charge also seems to not be working with the new firmware, I tried both the 33W and the 65W chargers and they charge slowly. Scratch that, it's working fine, it's just misreporting it as charging slowly.

OK, no sound in calls too. To be helpful, this is the 13.0.4 global firmware, which was released this week.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Adam Hui:
U need to flash stock firmware as mention on a link at OP, not ur own chosen.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] RCkiller:
Required firmware version must be based on MIUI 13.x.x builds (Based on Android 12).

At the time it was written, it was V13.0.3.0.SKHMIXM 12.0 Global, as it's stated below in the first post. Just this week, 13.0.4 was released and since it specifically says based on 13.x.x,, I thought it would be ok and used that. Turns out it's not.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Adam Hui:
U defend the oponion at the state u have a trouble results.

I flashed los19 by flashing 13.0.3.0 fw first & never found any meant trouble at first boot and at all.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] RCkiller:
I am just confirming an incompatibility with the newest firmware (within the parameters set in the first post; based on 13.x.x) that was mentioned by another user, so that it could possibly be fixed if the developer wishes. Just a caution for someone who may have an updated phone. That is all, no more, no less.

[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] toxicbrain:
Finally someone who has this problem too. I thought I was the only one. I would like to know what the problem is and how to solve it.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] CHGICEMAN:
Does the notification LED work for you? If yes how?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Boracho:
There is none.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] CHGICEMAN:
Why can't I activate it then?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Boracho:
Because the manufacturer decided that the device doesn't need one.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] :
Same here however i have no troubles with updates hanging in the background. They do complete after a while so it is not a bug in real sense right? They do work but they are slower.

Btw, had anyone tried screen casting? There is an option on LOS and yet I cannot cast the screen to my Android TV.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Boracho:
Last time I tried it (November, its a bit of time) it was non functional. There has been some complains about it, but all in one there doesn't seem a lot of people using it. I haven't checked since then, but saw some commits regarding this has been made.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] :
Thank you. To be fair, this sucks. I cannot recall was i able to cast the screen or app screen from LOS 17.1 (i skipped A11 so havent tried 18) but i would like the option for future use.

If anybody has any info on the matter, please share.

One more question from my end: hypothetically, if i need to use Google Services core from microg, i can just install com.google.android.gms (Services Core) so i can fool an app or two in dire need? Wiki mentions only Gapps however i was wondering could i dirty flash microg onto lineageOS (use microg build) to fool those apps? I really like how "Gcam Service Provider (Basic)" package solved this for Gcam so i was wondering could i do that with little to no hustle on a working rom with F3.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] CHGICEMAN:
Then you should not activate the option for the Poco F3.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] oirtemed:
I've just tried and it seems to work for me.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] :
Great! Thank you for this.

Can you share details about what is the setup? I cannot find data on that Toshiba panel so i cannot determine is that miracast or chromecast.

Also, are you using gapps? I have a feeling that without gapps, chromecast will not be available.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] oirtemed:
The TV is a Toshiba 32L3753DB. Re. setup, I have the TV connected to my router using an Ethernet cable, DHCP, the router supports multicast and IGMP (not sure if that is relevant). My phone is obvs connected to the same network via WiFi.

Yes, I'm using GApps. Details below:

LineageOS 19-20220709-NIGHTLY-alioth

Baseband MPSS.HI.2.5.c1-00017-0426_2200_daf5d5b6e0

Firmware V13.0.6.0.SKHEUXM

MindTheGapps 12.1.0-arm64-20220416_174313

Magisk v24.3 (Zygisk + MagiskHidePropsConf + safetynetnet-fix)
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] :
Thank you so much for this. I dont think that multicast did that (will check mine tho, it worked before on GPlay certified phone) however i noticed on Toshiba website that this TV uses miracast (https://toshiba-tv.com/uk-uk/32l3753db). Moreover, this is smart tv however it is not using android (toshiba makes clear on their presentation which tv-s are android thus using chromecast).

Very interesting to know. Thank you. I will check Play store on Android TV dongle and try adding miracast app (if any)and test.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] cgb.spender:
For me it improved a lot by selecting prioritize updates (not sure how's it called in English) in update options.

Did you try it?

[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] toxicbrain:
Yes, I have set the priority. It has made it a bit faster. However, when the screen is locked, the update process seems to pause.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Seb_Lz:
Clean flash of LOS 19.1 9/7/2022 here. Hey/OK Google works fine, just like Android Auto and the other google apps. I used NikGapps Full. Have been using it as daily drivers for 6 days now and everything seems to be working perfectly so far (including bankings/authentication apps using magisk delta). Have the feeling the battery is draining a bit more compared to 18.1 but could also be due to some slightly different settings. Not a reason for skipping this update though, big thanks to the maintainers for this great ROM!
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] akkis:
Hello and thank you very much for this ROM! I just flashed (coming from miui - eu) and everything seems to work but sound generally. When phone starts, It sounds for the very first notification "SIM toolkit" and then it becomes total silent. Only haptic works. No media sound, no ringing sound, not even when I try to change the default ringtone. Also YouTube app and YouTube web app (through Google chrome) play videos so much slow, like 2 frames per second. Any suggestion please? Because I use my phone for daily use :) I will appreciate any answer and thank you in advance. Ps. I followed step by step the instruction steps from official lineageOS documentation for our device.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] RCkiller:
Your firmware is too recent, I had the same problem. I don't know which EU is the last to work, you can flash 13.0.3 global, that is confirmed to work. The latest firmwares are not compatible.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] akkis:
I will try flashing 13.0.3 as you advise. Thank you very much!
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] rodrigomanoel:
Please, help me!

How to fix it?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] rodrigomanoel:
I have same problem.

How to fix it?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] akkis:
1. Flash 13.0.3 Official Global from here (search for V13.0.3.0.SKHMIXM fastboot). I use terminal on my MacBook and run flash_all.sh script

2. Skip all possible steps on MIUI first boot and enable developer options and then USB debug option. Keep in mind that you must NOT update to 13.0.4 if asked by the system

3. Follow all instructions from LOS official page

I am currently on step 3 right now :)

update: Everything work fine :) @RCkiller thank you!
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Seb_Lz:
That's strange, I've flashed "fw_alioth_miui_ALIOTHEEAGlobal_V13.0.6.0.SKHEUXM_c393876947_12.0" just before a clean install and am not experiencing those sound/video issues (or any others that I know of).
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] rodrigomanoel:
Can I do this process with the lineage recovery?

Sorry for the question but I'm a beginner
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] akkis:
By flashing the official 13.0.3 global ROM actually you flash Xiaomi recovery. So on step 1 you will delete LOS recovery (if you have it already) and will be replaces by Xiaomi's recovery. You need windows/linux/osx machine to run the script (flash_all.bat or flash_all.sh etc).
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Smultie:
Do we know if it's in tomorrow's update?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] don.nasco:
No, it is still in review.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] rodrigomanoel:
I got error message "antirollback check error"

EDIT:

I managed to solve it when I changed the place folder to a shorter address
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] confluced:
Well，In my thought,the new firmware is in the active slot while the los was flash to inactive slot which contains compatible older firmware.In another word,the firmware you flashed by flashing MIUI is not used by los.

At the beginning it was not working for me because my langage was set to French - Belgian in Google Assistant -> Language (the option to enable "OK google" was greyed out saying unsupported language) but after changing it to French - French everything started to work.

I tried it again same story - different kernel was tested too same issue happens...

Arrow,miui,dimmensity dtbo images were flashed as well and tail is still present...

I really doubt at this point anything can be done user side to fix this , this requires deeper investigation by dev team...

Downgrade back to miui (fastboot method full rom ) and flash lineage again - let it boot then return to lineage recovery and flash magisk via sideload - this should work 100%

Data may need to be killed too , so flash all option in xiaomi flash and and later factory reset when flashing lineage

[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Perceval from Hyrule:
Hi there !

My tests on the latest nightly on my wife's brand new F3 are fine by now (France, from MIUI 13.0.6.0). Perfectly rooted with Magisk, Safetynet perfect, great !

I have only one issue by now, I had no time yet to investigate : sometimes/often, black areas are overexposed (they go greyish), it happens in photo mode but not always, like a filter. I'll check with logcat if I have some time.

Did someone see this before ?

Thanks 😀
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] :
@Perceval from Hyrule nope, all good here. Same firmware (global tho, same fw number)

Btw just to comment on launcher: if you use gesture navigation and hide pill (handle, white bar at the bottom) then launcher fails to open app overview (list of apps by swiping from bottom to top) reliably. It fails then it looks itself for a couple of seconds and then it works for a few swipes. Also i noticed that swiping up sometimes will not register whole motion and it will stop after a while leaving app overview in a weird state like it hasn't completed the swipe and completed that animation.

Anyone else with this problem? I have tried with and without screen protector. I dont use "High touch polling rate" and i will try it now for a week but i think i already kept that and saw no notable changes (will confirm tho)
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] PocoPunch:
Yes, I too encounter this problem. Especially when inside the LOS defaut gallery and files app. It freezes for a couple of seconds which I find really weird.

Does this problem persist when the navigation pill is enabled? Thank you.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Perceval from Hyrule:
Thanks for feedback, the problem did not appear yesterday (I tested very fast), I think it may be related to dark or night mode, as all pure black parts were greyish (just like you killed the exposure in Photoshop). It wasn't only on the photos, but on any part of the screen that was pure black (I laos uploaded a "buggy" photo on my OnePlus 9 Pro, it's fine). Well, I'll check this :D

About your question, my launcher is not configured that way so I won't be able to help... But I globally had no problem with the touch screen.

Not to worry, but I had a customer with such a problem on a Xiaomi (I don't remember the model) on january, it begun softly like this and the screen became unusable. This was a hardware problem, the digitizer was dying out of the box (I couldn't tap anything, even in recovery I was stuck).

If it happens too often, just boot in recovery and try to use the screen to operate, if it doesn't work fine, that's a faulty digitizer... There are also apps to test the screen (you can also toggle the touch areas in the developper settings).

Thanks :)
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] :
I have no clue. Let me test without high touch sampling and with pill bar first and then with buttons. I tend to avoid these buttons and pills on the screen however it might help other people so give me 7 days to test it out. I also saw no git commits related to launcher so this should be a proper and valid test : )
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] :
I have enabled navigation hint and left high touch polling off. Let us see how will it behave. This can be captured in one day, if you have about 2 or maybe even 3h SOT in a day (which is not always possible for me but i will try)
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] henriquemaia:
After being forced to use MIUI for 7 days until I could be released from Xiaomi's jail, I've finally installed this ROM. I'm a big fan of LineageOS, and have been using it for several years. I'm really pleased to have it running on my POCO F3. Everything seems to be working as expected. It has been a very smooth experience, from installing it to actually getting it running.

Thanks to everyone who makes this wonderful experience possible!
