Question Any custom ROMs with the old MIUI-like One handed mode? - Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40

Since MIUI 13, the one handed mode has became the Android 12 implementation where the top half of the screen comes down, and I've chosen not to upgrade because of I like the cornered one handed mode up till MIUI 12.5.
Are there any custom ROMs with this type of one handed mode? I remembered some custom ROMs like Havoc had them back in the days (when I was using a Redmi Note 3). But last I checked none of the recent ones have it, and the newer Android 12 ROMs all use the top-half-screen approach.

Cm 14 nexus 5x

Hey is there any rom for nexus 5x with android version 7.0
Here are some of the features we expect from CM14 or Cyanogenmod 14
1. CM14 Multi-window Mode
Well, multitasking is the key feature that every user is looking for nowadays. And, CM14 is all set to enhance this feature by multi-window mode that will allow the users to run multiple apps at the same time on the screen. With this split screen feature, you can also drag and drop text in between apps, when required instead of typing the content all over again or copy/pasting either.
Multi-window mode CM14
The app developers have to add support for the split screen mode to make their apps compatible to use this feature on the all-new upcoming CM14 ROM. Users can open apps side by side and resize the app window using a slider and adjust it according to their preferences.
2. New System UI in CM14
Cyanogenmod 14 may follow Android N as it would introduce a completely new User Interface that will not include the famous app drawer. If not, then the latest ROM from Cyanogenmod may allow the option to switch between the two different UIs, one containing the app drawer and the other without it. Such UI are highly favoured and seen on iOS and MIUI devices.
3. CM14 will have a Better Optimized Battery Management
Battery optimization has been the concern for Android developers as well as the community at Cyanogenmod as Android devices are highly criticized for low battery life compared to iOS devices. However, CM14 is expected to enhance its battery optimization feature that would boost the battery life up to 20% with the Doze mode as seen on Android 6.0 Marshmallow.
Cynogenmod is already developing rom for nexus 5x
is there any news about this topic...... if you have plz comment
CM 14 is coming....
I'm going to start making CM 14 UNOFFICIAL for BULLHEAD expect it to be up very soon.. :fingers-crossed: :fingers-crossed:

Do's and don'ts

So I am switching to the One + 5T, I am coming from the Axon 7. I have alot of reading to do to catch up to current activity. I am curious if someone could assist on what to do and what not to do to quickly optimize my experience with this device. Are there certain update to do and not to do to avoid getting to a point of no return? I am not new to romming and unlocking the potential of devices.
On devices previously, it was better not to do certain updates due to locking yourself out of certain features and abilities that rooting and flashing custom roms provides. Mostly I would like to know what not to do, as I will read through all tutorials and instructions to find what best works for me. I would like to get the device I will be using daily up to speed.
Are there kernels that are better than others for battery like without compromising performance?
I read that 'codename phoenix' is the only ASOP with full OEM camera functionality, Is this still true as where I rad that could easily be dated with all the support for this device?
Any guidance or answers are greatly appreciated. To this device I am a noob, but not to the helpful community atmosphere XDA can provide
Thanks and Kind Regards,
Fellow enthusiast.
+1 for OP.
Wondering also what are possible benefits and drawbacks of using custom/modded version of kernel?
I couldn't get the OOS portrait mode to work on codename phenoix. In my experience codename phenoix had the worst camera experience. Every app like Snapchat and instagram had camera bugs and other ROMs don't. I also recommend flash kernel on any ROM. Rock stable and fast AF . there's always a way to get back to 100% stock and locked bootloader. I have net heard of a fully hard brick that couldnt be fixed. So go for it, even if u stay on OOS then later choose to go custom roms.
I'm on custom ROMs using gcam v6 beta. Its way better than OOS cam. I'm using the HDR front cam fix and I have the pixel 2 portrait mode on front and rear. Way better than OOS portrait but only work on human faces. U can also use this on OOS but with the fix it breaks face unlock
I'm in the same situation here, I'm getting my OP5T tomorrow and I've been reading XDA non-stop for a week trying to figure out the differences between the popular ROMs and Kernels so I know where to start.
So far I've come to the conclusion that Flash Kernel (for custom Roms or OOS) and RenderZenith (for OOS Stock only) are probably the best kernels around if you want performance and stability. Franco Kernel would be for saving more battery probably sacrificing performance.
And for stable ROMs (I don't care too much about customization, I just want stability and performance) either Omnirom or Liquid Remix.
Of course that it's really hard to judge without even being able to try them first and just reading lots of comments about each one, so I think I'll start with these first and see what happens. I've also seen many people recommending Resurrection Remix.

Tbh u just need to get them and try them all. I was like you. I made my mind up, that I would stick to RR when I got it. But I've tried most of the ROMs now, and tbh they are really similar in features wise. Some have little bits and pieces which make you stay. For example on cr droid u can customise the alert slider to toggle auto rotate and force rotation off etc.
Some ROMs lagged for me, some had delays when waking the screen, some didn't have proximity check when in pocket. Its up to you. Personally. Any time i'm on a custom ROM, I just flash , flash kernel because I know its amazing and lag free.
Ive been using Cr droid with flash kernel for weeks bug free with flash kernel for weeks.
I spent like one morning. Downloading all the ROMs, wiping and flashing them all without gapps so the install Is quick and just go through and looking at everything. U will be suprised how similar lots of them are. Its the little things that I look for.

Thanks for your reply!
I'm thinking the first days I'll keep OOS and maybe flash "Flash Kernel" or "RenderZenith" since apparently it gives the smoothest experience and then I'll start flashing ROMs. I really like the idea of ROMs with OTA updates like LineageOS which I currently have on my Moto G4 Plus because then I don't have to continuously check the forums to see if there is an update available, do you know of any other custom ROM that does this? Also, when you update a ROM, do you have to flash the kernel again each time?

Yeah the custom kernel needs to be reflashed. So the ota will update but u will still need to flash a kernel which to me defeats the purpose of an ota. So I just manually do it. Also kernels get updated often too. OK what I recommend. As soon as u get the phone. Unlock the bootloader and install magisk. And stay stock for a while. Try out the camera (I miss the OOS cam with that awesome 4k stabilisation) but gcam is better for the rest. And then try custom kernels. I didn't really notice much difference on oos with custom kernels but on aosp I noticed it fly.

Awesome! And one last question if you don't mind, I'm pretty sure the phone will come with Android 7.1.2 and my understanding is that the latest OOS version contains Oreo. After hearing about all the bugs Oreo brought, should I stay in Nougat for now or is it safe to upgrade to Oreo? I don't mind staying in Nougat for now if it means I'll have better battery life and/or stability.

Oneplus last nougat update was 7.1.1 and the Oreo update for me has less bugs for me and has better battery life. Custom kernels can fix battery life ?. Wouldn't recommend to stay on nougat. Everyones on the Oreo train
TBH i feel that the stock OS is fine performance and battery wise and there is not much point rooting and installing a custom ROM unless you want even more customization than what OOS gives u
I think you're better off running the stock ROM (8.0 or 8.1) and stock kernel first on any new device, at least for a few days, to get a baseline. After that try different kernels and/or ROMs if you're not satisfied with stock.
Unless you have the stock experience you've nothing to compare custom mods to.
And to be frank, OOS is a pretty awesome AOSP mod anyway and any difference a kernel is going to make is in the margins.

I bought this phone a month ago and still using till now. After trying all stock and custom roms, I have my own choice, just simple, stock 5.0.4 rom (or beta 5 rom) + your favorite kernel (up to you) + stock camera mod (it's a must if you need better quality photos) + magisk (for camera mod) = stable daily use for me.
I have been using for over a week and I think it's going better with time, so far so good now, average 8 hrs SoT (15% bettery left) within 50+ hrs is about the same as my old Mate9, still less than custom rom 1 hr SoT but no problem for me (the phone comes with Dash charger). I also use Xposed with GB that's why I dont need custom roms anymore.

Here you are:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/themes/mod-oneplus-camera-jpg-quality-to-100-t3714595
the title is for Oneplus5 but it's working well with 5T also, no problem so far. I used to use Gcam but after days I realized that it's not much better than stock mod cam. In addition, gcam shutter speed is slower than stock mod cam and it lacks of many feature from the stock one. I can say with stock mod cam, OP5T photo quality is better than my Mate9 right now, Im sure for that. (with original stock cam, it's the worst but with stock mod cam, it's much better than many cams out there, no more noise and grain in low light)
I've just come from mate 9 , bought a view 10 last week , really pissed at the camera/video lack of eis makes it unusuable.
Received 5t a few hours ago flashed beta and took some snaps video and I'm impressed

What module are you using in magisk

AOSP GSI or Android One

Hello everyone, I'm currently using HavocOS 3.9 but since it's batter isn't that good and sometimes whole system works awful (animation stutters, way longer apps loading times etc) I'd like to try something else. I tried all android 10 custom roms and every single one have some issues, now I'm thinking about trying out phhusson AOSP gsi, but I'm not sure if I should even try it since I have no idea what to expect, or I'll go back to Android One which has amazing battery life and good performance (at least for me) and despite all the bugs I think it's equal or even better to some custom roms.
Is someone using AOSP gsi and could share their experience? Or should I go back to Android One and just try to get rid of as many bugs and flaws as I can by myself?
Go for Pixel Experience Pulse ROM

OxygenOS 12 [OB1] [Oneplus 8 Pro] - First Open Beta of Global OOS12

-Notification are now working properly, everytime, even on AOD
-FP speed is insane (equal if not faster than OOS11)
-Lots of customizations but maintaining the OOS standards
-Battery drain equal or better than OOS11
-Banking apps working properly, even the FP auth ones
-Animations clearly faster and more smooth than OOS11
-Widevine L1
-No chinese bloatware (yeyy)
-True Amoled darkmode (Pitch Black)
-Vanced stuff working properly
Will keep the update and daily drive the thing, if someone need any info regarding how to update, or to "can you please check this...", im available to help

Mine is a IN2020 and I flash this and now says IN2025 as far as data goes, it works perfect
Anyone running this on the IN2015 or 2010? If so, would you recommend it good enough to be a daily driver?

			
				

			
				
will this work?? I don't know how MSM tools works.
Won't charge on Android 12
Has anyone maintained magisk like we've done on stock rooted Android 11 updates? Usually I roll back magisk images. Install the update, let it do it's thing, not reboot. Then reinstall magisk and reboot. Will this process still work?
I have a problem with Line app crash.
(Color OS 12 beta , H2OS 12 Beta and also OOS 12 Beta.)
Now only run Custom 12. Line is my main chat app.
Ive tried out the firmware. Its working amazingly. Also, my phone that never once had a 5G bar suddenly says 5G (I am on Verizon). I feel like the battery life might be a little bit worse, but I have been using it the whole time with max brightness over the last 4 hrs. I went from 90 to 59%.
The photochrom app for infrared that works on android 11 doesn't seem to work, I have yet to try it with adb. It seems that engineering mode (factory mode) is blocked.
All of my apps seem to be running very stable. Calls, plex, games, etc. No issues
My OnePlus Bud z2 sound way better.
Ill add to this if there are any changes.
Edit 1: I forgot to say that after the update it ran sluggish for about the first 2 minutes then resumed back to blazing fast. I also updated from OOS (android 11) Beta 12.
It was also incredibly easy to retain root. Just use the system update to install the update manually then install magisk on the other slot. Restart, retain root.
Forced 120hz stopped working.
"hacked" call recording is not working.
New folders displays its content in the middle of the screen=poor reachability.
Cannot change folders icons into circles
Apps names visibility on home screen is connected to visibility inside the app drawer.
Widevine ok, banking apps ok
But for those who have the EU version phone, will there be a specific beta for EU or just the Global?

I updated my (ez)phone to na. Works. Nearly perfect.
I instalalled this update yesterday night , for now everything seems stable , i can't tell if battery is better or not because I rooted my oos 11 , and metod to root oos 11 didn't work for me on oos 12 , anyone know how to root oos 12?
The thing i can tell , buttons to navigate system changed , i could set custom gestures on oos 11 like if i hold home button my screen turns off, now i can't and their position is worse than oos 11 . And I agree with others that fingerprint seems working even faster

Question Custom ROM recomendation for Poco F3

I just bought a second hand Poco F3 6Gb+128 and I would like as soon as I get it to install a Custom ROM because I'm tired of miui, what is your recommendation? I am looking for stability, possibly be years with the same rom installed, and above all a great battery life, I have read some names like Arrow Os, CrDroid or Pixel Experience, and if it were not too much to ask I would like to leave some post to the best gcam for this phone.
Thank you very much for answering <3
If you did a little searching, you would find this:
Best custom rom
Hey, I have a Poco F3, I unlocked the bootloader recently, and I want to know which ROM should I get or is the best for you. I tried xiaomi.eu, but I prefer AOSP/pixel (I tried some, but I can't make a choice). What is the best, I know for now...
forum.xda-developers.com
Crdroid is best for me at the moment. Easy installation and lots customisation.
I'm happy with Arrow OS 13.0, though I'd heard that Paranoid Android (AOSPA) Topaz is even better. I might switch to that soon, myself!
I'm big into battery life. Arrow does great, though AOSPA is supposedly exceptional. CrDroid, as Gurkut mentioned, is great for customization and features, though not so much for battery.

I am a Evo-X patron, Evo-X for me is Amazing and the most polished, but i also like to tinker with other roms as well.
My Favourite roms i keep saved on my USB Stick in conjunction with a OTG adaptor are (in order) No.1 Evo-X, No.2 Voidui, No.3 Nusantara-v5.6,
No.4 crDroid (CRD is also very polished), N0.5 ProjectElixir 3.7
It is great to see new Devs resurrecting out dated roms for our great device.

I've been switching between crdroid and pixel os over the last 6 months and those are among the most polished and complete ROM for our Device. Also crdroid dev has been among the first to provide a custom ROM for Poco F3 2 years ago and keep supporting it which is exceptional. Alas both of them have some tiny bugs (bt or Netflix stuttering) on last releases. Thanks to you johnr64 I've tried nusantara (lots of customisation) on which I had some random freezes/reboots so I gave it up. Now I am experiencing voidui which is quite in the same spirit than pixelos: really close to stock with a few tweaks. It doesn't have Leica cam which isn't a big deal for me since gcam have improved a lot.
Voidui is REALLY smooth out of the box compared to a lot of other roms, it is a pity there ain't any thread on XDA for it (I am not a telegram person). I've installed it via skkk twrp , factory reset , rebooting twrp and flashing DfE then rebooting to system with no issues. Restoring from previous Google backup worked.
Hi Nicky69100,
I never did telegram until i got nagged at by my Family, then after speaking to my girls regarding TG and Custom Rom threads i took the plunge, Signing up to the Evo-X thread first and then crDROID & Voidui.
I am old and first started playing with custom roms (Mods) on a Nokia and then move on to a HTC Wildfire, Samsung's, i gave with sammys after they introduced the 0X1 e-fuse and the awful KNOX, i then moved on to LG.
My FIRST EVER new phone was the F3 (What an amazing device for the price) i looked long and hard before i spent my £££, taking in to consideration the ease of unlocking the bootloader and the DEV support, I am so pleased that i made the right decision for me.
For me the bench mark Custom rom is Evo-X,
Aggelos is a great DEV and is contactable most of the time on the "Early release group" and the Evo-X TG Threads,
of course, Life, University and a GF can some times get in the way.
The customisations i look for are, Smart Charging, Battery Bar, edge lighting, coloured icons in the task bar and the ability to run "Xiaomi Super Live Wallpapers"
below are a few rom i have tried recently,
BananaDroid is looking more polished as it is now a official rom, for me it lacks "Smart Charging" at the moment.
Cherishos (Official) Lacks the Charge bar in the task bar, its great to see that SMART CHARGING is WORKING , Hung Pang is the lead Dev for Cherishos and the F3.
Derpfest by Carrotgarden, Lacks the Charge bar in the task bar and Smart Charging.
Pixel Extended, is to close to stock for me and lacks customisation.
SuperiorOS, Lacks the Charge bar in the task bar and Smart Charging.
Stalix is a nice rom from a new DEV, it can now be installed thru Standard Recovery, it is still lacking in customisation, but it`s still early days.
Rising o/s nice looking rom, Smart Charge is not working, it Zapped 63% of my Battery in half a day, this was the First Rom for me (EVER) to do this.
Skyline is still in Beta and lacks customisation.
Voltage o/s (Unofficial), lacks customisation.
I WOULD LIKE TO SAY A MASSIVE THANK YOU TO ALL THE DEVS FOR ALL THERE HARD WORK AND FOR MAKING OUR F3 AMAZING

Thanks to you johnr64 I've tried nusantara (lots of customisation) on which I had some random freezes/reboots so I gave it up. Now I am experiencing voidui which is quite in the same spirit than pixelos: really close to stock with a few tweaks. It doesn't have Leica cam which isn't a big deal for me since gcam have improved a lot.
Voidui is REALLY smooth out of the box compared to a lot of other roms, it is a pity there ain't any thread on XDA for it (I am not a telegram person). I've installed it via skkk twrp , factory reset , rebooting twrp and flashing DfE then rebooting to system with no issues. Restoring from previous Google backup worked.

Hi, it's a bit offtopic but can you tell me what version of twrp do you use to flash roms, because The ones I used showed that internal storage "data" is encrypted,and it didn't decrypt even after entering my lock screen pin.

Like it was already referred here, it depends on what you're looking for on a rom.
If you like a pixel feel (usually more stable and battery friendly roms) go for arrow, void, paranoid Android (these 3 have the best feedback), pixel os, etc.
If you care about customization and messing around with features, I suggest you to go to CR, ghostdroid (I'm using this one right now. Very cool and promising rom), rising, ancient, derpfest, Evo, nusantara, etc. The list is huge, because we have the luck of our device be one of the ones with more development, probably of ever.
Have to give a huge Thank you to our great developers and maintainers out there
If you wanna get into more and stay fully updated, I too advise to go to TG. There's rom updates on a almost daily basis
