Question Custom roms - Poco F5 Pro / Redmi K60 (China)

Hi guys,
Sorry in advance as this might be an obvious question. I have only put a custom rom on my Poco F3 once before but back then its forum was very active. Is there any indication whether a Lineage OS rom is even coming for the Poco F5 pro?
I love my Lineage OS rom on my Poco F3 and I would love to install it on my F5 Pro!

Could be. It might be a year later though.

When custom ROM and a broad development community are needed the Poco F3 still rocks.
I also have both devices (F3 and F5 Pro) and I'm a bit disappointed in many aspects of hardware, software and community support for the new model. It's basically same user performance experience when compared F3 Vs F5 Pro with much higher price tag.

Current Xiaomi.eu builds can't stable handle the Poco F5 Pro (Global Version)'s modem. Many issues reported.

It isn't!
Already tested in four different devices.
Try to download the latest 3D and Antutu's version from developer site.
Poco F5 Pro Global version lacks a lot features when compared with Redmi K60 China... CPU, Screen, Modem, GPS, Battery and still counting.
ONLY THE PRICE TAG IS HIGHER

I'm not sure about the Poco F5 Pro, but there is development going on for the Poco F5. Previously, I was thinking of buying this device, but the Poco F5 does have a headphone jack, so I'm changing my plans, plus I work on every device I buy. The kernel source has been released, and the device tree is in progress.

Hey, if you have some time to spare, could you teach me/link me some guides on how to build custom roms ? Would really want to begin supporting my devices myself and share it with people

WTF, who told you? It depends on the developer; they couldn't own every device; plus, the cost of servers, the Internet, and devices is a lot, and in return, they get nothing. if you don't want to wait to work on the device when your own resources are already out there.

Check the PWM thread on this forum (mondrian) and check the second-last message, it says litterally that he'll try when he has some time

Due to the removal of microSD expansion compared to the F5's spiritual predecessor, X3 Pro, and w/ a cost increase for having to obtain an iteration with more internal capacity as a result (since 128GB doesn't cut it w/o microSD card expansion), and w/ Xiaomi following the modern trend of other handset makers by not including a headphone jack could be considered contributors for there being a lack of dev involvement for the F5 Pro, and leaves a lot to be desired. I'm on the fence as to whether I intend to purchase this device since the specs of the F5 Pro makes Xiaomi no different from other competitor brands in the sense that their features lack substance or value, and don't necessarily target the budget-oriented consumer, and at $520 for the 512GB black variation, that is not motivating me to upgrade from my Poco X3 Pro, smh.

The F5 is not a spiritual successor to the X3 Pro hence why the F5 Pro would be the natural trajectory, and I would be regressing by purchasing the F5 since my X3 Pro's CPU is superior to the F5's.

And if you care about gaming performance, the sd8+gen1 and its adreno 730 is better than the f5 standard
If you don't there's also better screen resolution but not much more

Realme X2 Pro and custom ROMS and Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro

Im looking for a new phone and specs wise the Realme X2 Pro looks better than the Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro which would be my other choice. But Custom ROMs amd mods are important to me and also updates and im not finding much for the Realme X2 Pro. Is this only because the phone is new or is it a problem that will stay? Because that is a big thing for me it would be the deal breaker for the Realme X2 Pro.
For sure Mi9T have more custom ROMs etc cuz it's older, but I think that soon we will see custom ROMs for Rx2p (or I just believe in that).
I actually switched from 9T Pro to X2 Pro and it was best decision I could make...all weekly MIUI roms are buggy and only worthy ROM was the Evolution X

On Mi 9T Pro I was following Havoc ROM development and users said it was a good rom. But since this phone I decided to buy a very powerful phone that could be amazing for many years. And X2 Pro is more powerful than Xiaomi.
At the beginning I wanted OnePlus 7 McLaren, but 850€ were too many, and realme has very similar hardware at 350€ cheaper price.
My only doubt was about root and custom ROMs too, so I hope too in a future development.
Sent from my Realme RMX1931 using XDA Labs
I think this phone with its power and price tag with start getting some serious development...
This also helps. Check it out!

I'm a X2 pro user and tbh, it's really good.
On the ROM's side you're right, there's not much but we're going to have a main developer on the community chosen via crowdfunding, so that will not be a problem anymore
If it's mainly custom ROMs I don't know if this device is for you with... It's not been out long and nothing hardly going off in the custom ROM department... Although the phone is superior in almost all ways compared with mi 9t pro.

Realme x2 pro Purchase and root warranty in India.

Hello everyone,
I want to buy Realme x2 pro mobile 12gb ram 256gb memory Variant in India. I am really concerned about warranty after root. I searched Internet couldn't find any clear answer.
I want to ask if I buy Realme x2 pro mobile 12gb ram 256gb memory mobile and then unlock the bootloader and root the phone will it void the warranty of the phone.
Is there any solution to root the phone but if something goes wrong the phone could be unrooted and make it under warranty.
Kindly help.
Thanks in Advance.
Best Wishes
i was excited and i bought it
and i am not happy with the software side of the device AT ALL!
brand is new, development is obviously slow and more over realme was not very keen to make it developer friendly! infact in july they finaly released official flasher!
fingerprint doesn't work once boot is unlocked, atleast i am still trying to find out the method,
the device came with Color OS and now on realmeUI1 , where you must format data if you are flashing with non OPPO recovery (twrp or others) this means you must take all backups always!
the device doesnt go on recovery with KEY combination! like it used to with Xiaomi or sony or samsung!
it only goes to FASTBOOT MODE and from there you must trigger twrp everytime
why does it matter?
so Fastboot boot command DOES NOT WORK on REALME , to trigger device to wake up in recovery!
bootloops are so common that for every bootloop the usual solution is to FORMAT DATA, when i upgraded from June RealmeUI1 C25 version to July RealmeUI1 C29 version, via OrangeFox recovery, it went to bootloops! unless i did FORMAT DATA....
I am coming from PocoF1 which was so flashing friendly!
for me it was a huge mistake to buy this device and now i am stuck with it!
i got carried away with 12gb ram and on lower price! ,
Oh boy still not tired to use every single thread to blame the device?
If you're not happy with it, why just not sell it and buy Poco F2 if you were so happy with the F1? Or 1+ oder Xiaomi Mi or something else?

sharing my honest opion! if you feel thats spamming you may report!
the OT asked my advice and I gave him!
shall i lie just because you are feeling offended?
Sorry, but you didn't answer him his question whether he will void warranty or not...
And btw. things like poor community / dev support are things which you could check BEFORE buying the device to cry afterwards.
@kk100
I don't know whether warranty is void by rooting.
But of course you can lock the bootloader afterwards again if you want to.

Thanks for Sharing your experience. I am not a developer you can consider me less technical details knowledge but I am now using Redmi Note 4 SD version 4gb ram 64gb memory for past three years and I want to mention on many occasions TWRP has saved my device from bricked device to bootloop. I am using Ramexpander app for past 2 year's so created a 3 gb Swap file do total Ram I get is 6.6gb but the phone lags a little bit.I am heavy user no games etc but lot of other apps. I want to purchase a 12gb ram 256gb memory mobile phone which is user friendly where I can easily root and Install some basic app TWRP, Titanium Backup, etc.. The price and features of Realme x2 pro mobile 12gb ram 256gb memory mobile is very appealing and value for money.
Thanks for replying.

i have redmi note4 also, running on HAVOC2.3, and working fine as my office device,
as long as you use Realme x2 pro quietly with no meddling every now and then, the device will work perfect!
frankly I couldn't get REDMI k20 Pro Premium 12gb/512gb version , its also on sd855 and has amazing screen and its very popular device on xda where roms /kernels/mods are concern!
i wanted to buy that but i couldn't find
may be you should go to store hold k20 pro premuim in hand and feel the sense about it
but on hardware side,
realme x2 pro has 90hz screen refresh rate (k20 has 60only but after rooting, there is method to do 81hz)
realme x2 pro has dual loud speakers (K20 has mono)
realme x2 pro brightness is 1000nits where (k20 is 450nits)
but these were not my deal breakers! , i still wanted to buy k20 pro but due to unavailability in my local market! i couldnt

Thanks a lot for your sharing. I will not use my mobile with too much meddling but I want root and twrp etc I will not change roms either. I will look into k20 pro premium 12gb ram 512 gb . For Realme x2 pro I am concerned about rooting and warranty. Xiaomi is fine with rooting and warranty Realme should also follow it. I also think community support is important as if the device gets some problem there is support available for the device.
Thanks very much for replying to people like me who get lost with no support.
P. S. Just saw k20 pro premium 12gb /512. Wow what a phone and incredible specs and almost the same price as Realme x2 pro mobile. If I could get this I will purchase it.

Just ask Realme support. They will give you the answer. I heard that they are ok with rooting and warranty.
Btw. If you want to go with k20pro premium I suggest you to install custom ROM because the stock one is flooded with ads and bloatware. Also you are losing 50W charging. FP is fixed in newer versions of Realme UI (unlocked bootloader).

Thanks for replying. I asked Realme for warranty of device there was no clear specific answer. On internet if I am correct Realme website has mentioned that unlocking the bootloader will not void the warranty but rooting will do that's the confusion.

X2 PRO was REALME's ANSWER to XIAOMI for K20 PRO Premiuim!
K20 was suppose to be pocof2, but they made it as K20 Pro Premium or in global market it was named as Mi9T pro premium, where later K30 released and K30 Pro released and now K30 Pro premium is actually POCO F2
so basically twrp for K20 easily covers Mi9t and K20 Pro for Mi9t Pro and K30pro will work for PocoF2 also!
Xiaomi's success is actually making their devices XDA friendly!
if low screen brightness in sun and 90hz gimmick doesn't affect u much! i would advice go for k20 pro premium! (12/512 gb)
modded kernels has kcal / sound boost is helpful

What great Information.
I want more productivity from a phone then fancy features. Now Even notification lights are not included in phone, can't even imagine that. I am really looking forward to k20 pro premium (12gb/512gb). Phone are really not expensive to manufacturers but sold at very high prices. Budget is also Important in these times. If I go for Realme x2 pro or k20 pro premium I will be paying almost 3 times of my current RN4 4gb /64gb which still gives value of money.
I will be trying to get k20 premium 12gb/512 if available or will have to choose Realme x2 pro 12gb/256 gb.
Thanks a lot.

Well... there is a problem with xiaomi devices in India as Indian government started to block xiaomi's apps. You don't really need to modify kernel to get equalizer/sound booster like viper4android and there's even a thread about getting one with Realme X2 pro. I don't think that custom kernels are a big problem rn as 855+ gives great performance.

if you are a person who wants value for money! then frankly these two fones which have been discussing is most part having features we may not even fully use (if ever)
512gb storage you will NEVER fill up! in regular use!
90hz screen may not even make a difference and 90hz screen is not battery friendly so realmex2 pro don't use it on every app!
its the main processor that counts! Snapdragon 710/720/765 are weak processor and heats up because devices of this processor don't have liquid cooling ( realme x2pro and Redmi k20 pro premium has Liquid cooling)
other value for money FONES with GREAT support are
1. Poco f1 (but its lcd, so not every eye friendly)
2. Redmi NOTE 8 PRO ( its MediaTek gaming chip 40% cheaper, but LCD so you may not enjoy much, colors may feel dull, but test it in shop/ display models)
3. Mi note 9s (but its lcd)
4. Samsung M31 ! its also great fone! (but they use Enoyx processor which is slower) Rootable!

xiaomi apps getting blocked shouldn't be any problem with custom kernels
lots of kernel developers are from india only and these kernels are used on custom roms! and even custom roms are developed in india only!
i have used Havoc on PocoF1 which is developed by indian developer!
kcal gives GREAT control on controling screen values! infact most of the custom roms have included this feature under DIPLAY>LiveDisplay
sound booster by GOODAV is also good app to boost volume without unlocking bootlock!

Really?...just test it yourself in Chrome while scrolling and then tell again there is no difference...
For me 90hz nowadays is an absolut must have feature!
How much battery will you loose? One hour maybe?
Same thing you would lose with LCD screen, if not more...

I didn't said that blocked xiaomi apps will cause problems with custom kernels or Indian kernels would not work... The author of this post wants to stay on stock ROM with root. That so I meant that it isn't a great choice if he wants to stay on stock ROM.
About 90hz... when you use a phone for some time with 90hz you can really notice the difference between 60hz and 90hz... After using my phone on 60hz for week and 90hz for another week I haven't noticed any difference with battery life. If someone really want to use 90hz on every app there is a thread about getting it.
Also I don't think that there's a need of volume boosting on Realme X2 pro when the phone is extremely loud stock.
256GB for normal user is enough and I don't see a need for more storage space.
Both phones are great but of course because xiaomi is bigger they have bigger community with more mods/roms/kernels.
Thanks everyone for taking time to reply.
About budget phones yes i have been using redmi note 4 SD for past 3 years but this time I really want more ram like 12gb/256 Realme x2 pro or k20 premium edition 12/512gb. I will mostly use stock rom I don't want to get into custom roms I am not a developer or much technical details knowledge.
But now I don't want to use my mobile with Ramexpander app for extra ram, Using 2 sim plus 128gb micro SD(This is enough but not good, need more memory) card with sim extension tool,I also use external 1tb hdd with mobile data backup with stickmount app.
Xiaomi still doesn't has Mi Pc suite for above KitKat which is extremely annoying. Unfortunately transferring data from mobile through mtp doesn't work in my mobile and lost lot of important data because of this earlier.
Does Realme has Pc suite?
For Realme x2 pro mobile 12gb/256gb I am looking for warranty after root.
I am still more inclined to buy Realme x2 pro 12/256 or k20 pro premium 12/512gb. I just want value for money and peace of mind that these phone will last next 3 years without any trouble.
Thanks everyone for replying.
Best Wishes
Realme doesn't have PC suite, but why do you need it?
Don't want to use cloud?

1. use myphoneexplorer , its virtually for every android device on earth freee, https://www.fjsoft.at/en/ , started for sony ericson but as sony moved to xperia the developer added support for android, i always use this never installed xperia companion or kies or misuite
2. no realme / oppo dont have pc suite, not that i found on web
3.since grass is greaner on the other side, and as user above said xiomi has bigger developent community, i am now more inclined towards k20 pro, but you will feel more inclined towards k20 pro once after you will buy realme x2 pro lol
4. i would not say x2pro headphone volume is loud! yes speaker is loud, i still use volume booster by Goodav to enjoy music

Buongiorno

hi, i'm GranoTurco a normal, probably average tech enthusiast. I've decided to join XDA to escape regret and desperation after byuing a poco F3 with software in unusable condition. hoping to find the hint of a possible solution before the return window ends (may 15 2021).

Most importantly is to be patient, both with your device and with the community. Good answers aren't always immediate.

Hi XDA

Hi everybody. Probably not many people are going to read this, but here I am.
I recently saw videos about improving performance and customization in my phone with a custom ROM, and that's why I'm here for. Got a Poco X3 NFC as a personal phone, with MIUI Global 12.5.7 and I am going to switch to crDroid 8.5 for everyday use. Wish me luck.
