My Poco f3 is my daily driver and I can't test lots of rooms rn and I was wondering if you guys tested different roms and would be so kind as to recommend a rom. My most important feature is to be able to unlock just by fingerprint touch or press (as in without the need to double tap/wake up the screen first). Also a totally black (not gray) dark mode is important
Thank you in advance

What you search in it? Beside the features that you indicate. More raw aosp? More customization?

Yeah features and customization without diminishing stability or battery life
I use Evolution X but it's Android 13.
It has a Black Mode and lots of customization. It's a Pixel ROM so it also has Pixel-exclusive system apps and features. I can recommend it It also receives frequent updates and has a big community on Telegram.
The question is, do you want a simple AOSP ROM or a Pixel ROM with more features and customization.

Yeah more features and customization as long as its stable and has a good battery life. I kind of disregarded A13 bc I assumed it won't be perfected yet but I'll check it out now. Can you unlock from a black screen just by taping the fingerprint scanner?

Yes, this is the default behaviour when having set-up a Fingerprint.
Doesn't every ROM do this by default? I think even MIUI. You can also configure to only scan for Fingerprint when Screen on, on Evolution-X too.

Probably yeah. its just that the last few roms I tested on my last device you had to turn screen on first. possibly bc they were early releases and scanner was under display but I gave up on stock android ever since mainly bc of that so I'm sure

Does anyone know of a rom that has always on display? I was going to go with codename phoenix but it has been discontinued and I don't know of another one.
Omni has it. Codename Phoenix is still being built, just no dedicated support. It's rock solid loaded with features.
Also, there is a substratum theme that supports it as well.

I believe it works in all the 8.1 Roms as long as you flash the OOS Oreo firmware.
As mentioned apparently you can enable this feature on the 8.1 only.
I use Always on Amoled from the store or glance plus. They both work well.

You are alright im not developer but probably don't have the same functionality as ambient display backed in a rom. Probably if you give all the permission and accessibility probably work as we want but i don't want to give every permission to the app im. Waiting for a good rom baked but for now it's ok
Hey guys. Time to switch custom for me and at the moment I"m choosing between RR vs Dirty Unicorns vs Nitrogen. Really need help choosing (comments, experience, pros and cons). I know, I can flash all of them and choose, but first I don't want to spent so much time and 2nd it's always better to start with best one.
Thanks.

Even if you found someone who will bite, "best" is based on your own criteria. In my case I liked AquariOS the best but that's just me. I'm actually back on stock as I dig the squeeze function and the easy monthly updates. Once I get tired of stock again I'm sure I'll be back on AquariOS as it was rock solid and fit me like a glove. Just my 2 cents...

It's hard to say which Rom is best , only way to find out which one you prefer is to flash and see. I've tried Aquarios , Dirty Unicorns, Nitrogen , and am currently on Pixel Dust , which is a really nice rom too., i really like how it comes with Black amoled theme ... all are very good roms and you can't go wrong with any of these ,I also really wanna give Resurrection Remix a run too, as that was one of my favorites on my galaxy s5 days , but i'm on may security patch , so patiently waiting for an update for that rom and Aquarios . :good:

I've only run DU, but can tell you it is solid. DU coupled with Flash kernel and I haven't run into an issue yet that wasn't user error, get around 5 hrs SOT, but I'm on it a lot
That said, cust Roms are like batt life; the best, most accurate comparison is done on your own device, using your individual setup.
This is the 1st phone that I am completely content to stay on stock with custome kernel with Xposed.
Xposed Edge, Android Pify, uniformed transitions and gravity box will give you all if not more features.
For themeing Substratum + andromeda.
Plus xprivacy to block analytics from facebook, instagram, etc...
Adaway + youtube vanced. Plus active edge app customization with edge sense plus.

Full OMS support, fully functioning Now Playing, Carbon gestures to name a few.
Dev preview 3 drops in a couple days, I'm guessing mid next week if you want to wait a bit for a more stable release.
The things for me are all the usability improvements; volume slider, gestures, etc

Flash kernel
Quick settings is a combination of
"nougat / oreo quick settings" to add specific tiles
"Substratum + subtweaks" - to change how many tiles are in the drop down quick settings
"SystemUI tuner" to change the number of quick settings in the first row when there are notifications in the pulldown.

Xposed edge is an app that requires xposed framework. The app has so many things it can do. I use it for gestures.
Edge sense is working on stock oreo. Not sure about P.
Here are a couple.photos of how the gestures I have setup.
There is never a navbar on screen so the whole screen is used.

There are a fair few devs working on the device. There are device trees so any custom ROM can be built and MIUI customised ROMs are also being released. On top of this there are two superb devs currently working on dynamic a/b partitions to make TWRP stable. This is difficult as there is a lot of guesswork involved as the phone was released with Android 11 and so the partition setup is quite unknown

Battery life is great, I can use the phone actively without noticing the battery depleting. System resources minimal if as long you don't use bloated apps. I have magisk installed with things like energized protection, viper4android and more working fine. Even apps like bluemail work on this ROM while on others I had no luck.

Hey guys
Running latest PixelOS alioth 12.1 on my poco f3
Sometimes - i dont know why or how my screen will turn off (as per usual) and then it wont turn back on
The finger print sensor implies its still on because of the haptick feedback and the phone is still functioning, except the screen doesnt turn on
Holding the power button resets the phone and then its fine - but i dont know why its doing this
Anyone experience the same or have any info?
Thank you
I'd say seems like an issue with that Custom ROM. You could try asking that question to the specific ROM thread...
Same ROM here and same problem. Also PixelOS is no longer maintained so I'm trying to decide which ROM to switch too.

I'd think Pixel Experience Plus is similar. Altho haven't used either. I use ArrowOS, but that's not a Pixel ROM

Now I switched back to Xiaomi.eu Custom ROM because I was missing MIUI Cam & Dolby, but I had a similar issue.
Sometimes while I was on ArrowOS, when I try to turn on the screen it would take 2-3 seconds.. It was a tiny bit annoying
Yeah folks we got the MIUI 14. If anyone has any experience regarding the performance and battery life feel free to share. I am thinking about rooting this phone so I am going to wait out a bit.
Same battery experience. Better and more smooth performance for me. Nice update but as always xiaomi cut functions for global roms. Hate it.
If you wanna all features of miui14, you should install CN ROM or customs like xiaomieu etc.
I am on Xiaomi.eu. 14.0.8. Overall smoother. Can recommend. Thought about switching to tw firmware. Is it also cut like the other regional releases?
