Top 10 Official Custom ROM for Poco F1 Based On Pie

Poco F1 is the best budget smartphone under the flagship of Xiaomi. In one word, the smartphone is a beast that outperforms many smartphones at the price range set by Xiaomi. After a few months of usage, I thought of installing Custom ROM for Poco F1, but I was sceptical about many things.

After installing many custom ROMs, I decided to stick to one official custom ROM, which is the Pixel Experience ported from the Google Pixel device. The developers push frequent updates with monthly Android security patches and integrate new features.

However, before sticking to this ROM, I have flashed many official and unofficial custom ROM’s on my Poco F1 based on Android Pie 9. In this article, I am going to make a list of top 10 official custom ROM for Poco F1 where I will cover most of the things that I experienced. But before that make sure the bootloader of your Poco F1 is unlocked and a custom recovery is installed.

10. Dot OS 3.1

DotOS is a colourful and vibrant custom ROM intended to change the user interface of your smartphone. The stability and performance of DotOS are fantastic and has lots of customization. One of the key features of this ROM is the system-wide neon theme, auto call recording, Digital Wellbeing preinstalled, advanced power menu and much more.
The battery backup is not that good on this ROM due to heavy customization, but if you can ignore this fact, then this ROM is particularly for you.

Testing this custom ROM was fun, the battery backup was smooth with heavy gaming and it lasted for a day. Bugs I have faced was the lock screen used to act weird where the battery icon used to disappear, but then I believe its already fixed over time. Don’t forget to flash the GApps when you are flashing the ROM.

3. Nitrogen OS

NitrogenOS is based on the Android Open Source Project running on Android Pie 9.0, which gives superior power to your device.
I faced a bug previously on this ROM with the IR face unlock, but the developers have fixed it as of lately. A majority of people likes the ROM and the developers are still maintaining it.
You will need to install the GApps along with the Nitrogen OS, but do not worry about the camera as it comes with the package. The battery backup is pretty good with the kernel provided and you can customize the user interface.

2. Lineage OS 16.0

Lineage OS which formerly used to be known as CyanogenMod is a free aftermarket firmware distribution built by the community designed for the stability and better performance on Android. It is based on AOSP with the contributions of people all around the globe using Android.

LineageOS is quite popular among Android smartphone users because of its simplicity and minimal applications preloaded.
The Custom ROM is very small in size as it contains no bloatware and GApps can be installed along with it which is needed to run the Google core apps.

This ROM is my favourite as it makes a standard 1 GB RAM phone powerful enough. But due to lack of customizations, I intend to use some other custom ROM. On regular usage, the ROM gives you two days of battery usage. There is no camera installed, so you will have to install a 3rd party camera like Gcam.

1. Pixel Experience ROM

The name itself tells a lot of things, Google Pixel experience on Xiaomi Poco F1. The developers have ported the ROM from the Google Pixel device and have maintained it very well. This official custom ROM for Poco F1 will make your daily usage more smooth and fun.
Although the customizations are less in this ROM as it is like AOSP ROM, you can install 3rd party launcher and enjoy the benefits of using different themes and icons.
The battery backup on this ROM is more compared to the Stock MIUI due to no bloatware.
GCam comes pre-installed on Pixel Experience with AR-enabled.
