Corvus OS is worth mentioning in Android 11, previously there was no maintainer, but now there's regular monthly updates. It's super stable, as it always has been with A10. It gives smooth performance and superb battery ๐Ÿ”‹ backup, and of course usual customization options. And it has much less issues with Apps, Kernels, Heating, Slow Charging, Dirty flashing, etc compatibility compared to many popular ROMs listed.

Ask the dev, to host the ROM somewhere else. I can't include Pay-Per-Click sites (pling) or telegram which redirect there, to download the ROM. XDA rules. I bet he won't do it so...
Btw, which popular ROMs have these issues you mentioned? At least these I've awarded working perfectly fine.

@Retrial , Need your thoughts on this.
My "hey Google" doesn't work on locked screen. There could possibly be 2 reasons,but I'm not sure.
1. Flashed custom kernel "Optimus Drunk"
2. Flashed >>Xprivacy Lua >> hidden Google Play services.
I'm on pixel experience plus ,July build A11.
Please help.

Hello,
"Hey Google" should work fine.
I don't know if it's due to Optimus Drunk or the Xprivacy.
Etude (stock) is pretty good kernel, I recommend you to stay on it. Why you are on July build not in August? Try the August build.
Anyway, September update will include build in fix for safetynet so you don't have to use Xprivacy.

If you are using lite GApps like for ex. NikGApps Core I had read that flashing a separate package (Velvet addon) was necessary for this functionality.

Thank you people, I had Google Assistant app installed from playstore. I uninstalled it since "hey Google " is pre included and it worked.
Why Optimus Drunk? : Charging speed is good and good battery backup.
Hope September build solves all the issues.

Got it, as per XDA rules. My only point was that it's worth mentioning, but you have a good point.

Some of them had issues with custom kernels, like Pixel Plus & their thermal hal, which NGK fixed btw in last patch. But none other support it perfectly. Some reported slow charging in CRDroid earlier (and some in Pixel as well), not sure about current status though. RROS usually gets into issues when trying to flash custom kernel or some magisk modules, and dirty flashing rom doesn't work like other ROMs in case of issues and need to wipe & re-install entire ROM.

Hello!
Great thread, I check it constantly to see your latest changelog updates.

I was wondering whether you can help clarify the differences between the versions illustrated in the screenshot below. Which one should I download for my Poco F1 [PE11+] since I would like to try something other than Sanity and Parrot.

Many thanks!

It should work fine with Intel. If not, try to install Fastboot Drivers or use usb hub.
Reboot your device to Fastboot Mode, connect your device to PC, open Device Manager, you will see ur device in top. right click to manually install the Fastboot Drivers for windows 10. Fastboot Drivers can also be found in my collection.

    CUSTOM ROMS โšก

    You can check my Guides for installation.
    Note: I've created an award system for people which are not familiar with custom ROMs, to help them choose a ROM which is stable for daily use, gets frequently updates with security patches every month and has active development, so they don't mess with ROMs which appearing and then dissapearing (and we have a lot of them).
    ROMs under awarded ROMs are not order by rating and just have random order.
    If you are knowledge, you can ignore my awards and choose any ROM you like.
    My standards for giving award to a ROM are:
    • Open Source โœ…
    • Stable enough for daily use โœ…
    • SELinux Enforcing โœ…
    • Safetynet pass by default โœ…
    • Encrypted by default โœ…

    Most people I know (including myself) who used my Guides and steps, did that with success many times. If you don't follow exactly the steps or you do a mistake during the process, I do not take any responsibility for any unexpected results or damage that may happen. However I am here to help if something goes wrong, just ask in the thread.
    ​

    AMD RYZEN/INTEL FASTBOOT FIX ๐Ÿ’ป

    Some AMD Ryzen or Intel Systems may have problems to recognize your device in fastboot. Try the following ways:
    1. Install Fastboot Drivers (Extract the folder for windows 10) at Device Manager while your device is connected in Fastboot mode.
    2. Download this     .bat file (unzip it) or manually create a .bat file with these lines below, and run it as an administrator, then reboot:
    Code: 
    reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\usbflags\18D1D00D0100" /v "osvc" /t REG_BINARY /d "0000" /f
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\usbflags\18D1D00D0100" /v "SkipContainerIdQuery" /t REG_BINARY /d "01000000" /f
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\usbflags\18D1D00D0100" /v "SkipBOSDescriptorQuery" /t REG_BINARY /d "01000000" /f
    3. Enable USB Debugging at device (Settings > Additional settings > Developer options > USB Debugging) and give authorization after connecting it to PC.
    4. Use USB Hub.
    5. Use USB Type-A 2.0.
    6. Install AMD Ryzen Chipset Drivers or     Intel Chipset Drivers.
    Check the steps an another user did to make it work     here.
    If this doesn't help, unfortunately you have to use Intel System which is more likely to work.

    UNLOCK BOOTLOADER ๐Ÿ”“

    Note: Some AMD Ryzen Systems may have problems to recognize your device in fastboot. [Read the AMD Fastboot Fix Guide above]
    Please keep in mind by Unlocking Bootloader the device will reset and all your data will be lost. Make a backup of your data first to PC or to USB.
    1. Create a Mi account on Xiaomiโ€™s website.
    2. Add a phone number to your Mi account.
    3. Insert a SIM into your phone (If you haven't added already). [Do not insert 2 SIM, only 1 until the Bootloader is unlocked. If you have 2 SIM into your phone, remove 1 and reboot.]
    4. Enable developer options in Settings > About Phone by repeatedly tapping (7 times) on MIUI Version.
    5. Link the device to your Mi account in Settings > Additional settings > Developer options > Mi Unlock status. Also enable USB Debugging.
    6. Download the Mi Unlock app (Windows is required to run the app).
    7. Run the Mi Unlock app and follow the instructions provided by the app.
    8. Reboot your device into Fastboot mode. For that simply turn off your device, press the Power Button + Volume Down (โ€“) button at the same time. Then connect the device to the Windows PC/laptop via a micro USB cable.
    9. After device and Mi account are successfully verified, the Bootloader should be Unlocked and your device will restart by itself.

    INSTALL CUSTOM RECOVERY ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ

    • Fastboot Method (No Custom Recovery currently installed)
      Note: Some AMD Ryzen Systems may have problems to recognize your device in fastboot. [Read the AMD Fastboot Fix Guide above]
      1. Make sure your Bootloader is Unlocked.
      2. Enable developer options in Settings > About Phone by repeatedly tapping (7 times) on MIUI Version.
      3. Enable USB Debugging in Settings > Additional settings > Developer options > USB Debugging.
      4. Download a custom recovery of your choice and copy the .img to your Internal Storage or to SDCard.       [You can find a recovery of your choice in my Collection]
      5. Download the portable Minimal ADB and Fastboot and run cmd.exe
      6. Reboot to Fastboot mode by pressing Power Button + Volume Down (โ€“) and keep holding both buttons until the word โ€œFASTBOOTโ€ appears on the screen, then release.
      7. Once the device is in Fastboot mode, connect your device to PC and verify you can find it by typying in cmd: fastboot devices.
      8. Boot into Recovery by typing in cmd: fastboot boot <recovery_filename>.img (The file may not be named identically to what stands in this command, so adjust accordingly and write the full path of it, check the example below).
      This command will not flash permantly the recovery, it will just temporary boot into it and afterwards you will flash permantly the twrp.img you copied into your Internal Storage or SDcard in recovery partition.
      For example:

    6. Reboot to Recovery Power Button + Volume Up (+)
    7. Installation:
    Steps without external SDCard:
    • Select Wipe > Advanced Wipe
    • Select Dalvik / ART Cache, System, System_Ext, Data, Internal Storage, Vendor, Cache and then Swipe to Wipe. [All your data into Internal Storage will be lost]
    • Go back > Press Reboot > Reboot to Recovery again. [That step needed for the next step of formating the data because TWRP by REIGNZ have issue]
    • Go back and select Wipe > Format Data > type yes [All your data into Internal Storage will be lost]
    • Connect your device to PC while you are on TWRP and transfer into Internal Storage, the ROM, GApps etc. and the files you want to flash.
    • Flash ROM > GApps [Optional]
    • [Optional] Mount Vendor and Flash DFE [Optional - Not Recommended] or Encryption [Optional] (Read DFE & Encryption Guide above)
    • Reboot Enjoy!
    • [Optional] If you want to root, reboot once again to TWRP Recovery and flash Magisk then reboot to system and enjoy!
    Steps with external SDCard:
    • go to Advanced > File Manager > External_SD and delete all folders in ur ext sd card (For example you should delete: Android, .android_secure, LOST.DIR, DCIM, etc) except your personal files/folders and the folder with your custom ROM/Gapps/Magisk/DFE or Encryption you want to flash.
      Each app on your phone with the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission may create files or folders in ur sdcard. Most of these folders have once been created by one of these apps and many of them may be deleted with a few exceptions (e.g. Android, .data, .android_secure, these contain important system or app data like a game's downloaded content):
      .android_secure: apps installed and then moved to sdcard
      Android: app data/cache
      data: app data
      .estrongs: ES file manager
      LOST.DIR: sort of trash folder (collects recovered files after phone crashes)
      DCIM: phone gallery's photos and previews
      OTA-update: Over The Air update service
      ppy_cross: an unknown third-party app's data.
      So I recommend to delete them so you can put your phone/sdcard in a clean state and is guaranteed to be able to re-create these folders.
    • Select Advanced Wipe
    • Select Dalvik / ART Cache, System, System_Ext, Data, Internal Storage, Vendor, Cache and then Swipe to Wipe. [All your data into Internal Storage will be lost]

    DISABLE FORCE ENCRYPTION (DFE) & ENCRYPTION ๐Ÿ‘€

    [You can find it in my Collection]
    • Disable Force Encryption
    Disable Force Encryption (a.k.a DFE) is flashed during installation of a custom ROM to avoid the system encrypting /data partition when the devices boot for the first time.​
    Some ROMs are not encrypted by default and so is not necessary to flash DFE. However if your ROM comes with encryption by default you can always flash DFE after clean installation of ROM and always after every update or flash or you can use any custom recovery like OrangeFox, Pitchblack, Skyhawk Recovery Project which can automatic flash DFE after every flash.​
    I don't recommended to use DFE if you don't switch ROMs frequently and you are casual user. Beside the fact that if you lose your device your data are not protected, many people get in confusion while doing OTA or manually updates, which if the ROM is encrypted by default and flashed DFE and in next update you forget to flash DFE you will lock out from your data and you wil get into bootloop (use custom recoveries mentioned above to avoid that).​
    ​
    • Encryption
    Encrypted ROMs are recommended if you are stable and casual user of a ROM. Encryption have the benefit to protect your data, in case you lose your device for example. ​
    Always use the latest TWRP Recovery so you can be able to decrypt the data by filling the same lock screen password you have set in ROM.​
    Some ROMs are not encrypted by default but devs provide an Encryption.zip (script) which can encrypt the ROM. Same as DFE you need to flash it after clean installation of ROM and always after every update to stay encrypted and not get into bootloop. Unfortunatly there is not any custom recovery automatic doing that like with DFE, so you must be careful, avoid doing OTA updates and flash it every time you manually update a ROM.​

    BATTERY TIPS ๐Ÿ”‹

    Xiaomi POCOPHONE F1 Battery Model: BM4E

    Method 1
    Steps:
    1. Discharge your phone fully until it turns itself off.
    2. Turn it on again and let it turn itself off.
    3. Plug your phone into a charger and, without turning it on, let it charge until the on-screen or LED indicator says 100 percent.
    4. Turn your phone on. It's likely that the battery indicator won't say 100 percent, so plug the charger back in (leave your phone on) and continue charging until it says 100 percent on-screen as well.
    5. Unplug your phone and restart it. If it doesn't say 100 percent, plug the charger back in until it says 100 percent on screen.
    6. Repeat this cycle until it says 100 percent (or as close as you think it's going to get) when you start it up without it being plugged in.

    Method 2
    Notes: It won't dramatically extend battery life, but it will give your old battery at least 30 minutes additional run time.
    Steps:
    1. Get "    GSam or Ampere" from the Google Play Store.
    2. Launch the app and fully charge your phone. (Important: Only proceed with the calibration when the word "Full" appears in GSam or Ampere.)
    3. While your phone is still connected to the cable reboot your phone to recovery mode, open file manager and navigate to "/data/system" and delete "batterystats.bin," "batterystats-checkin.bin," and "batterystats-daily.xml."
    4. Reboot your phone (while it is still plugged in) and charge it until it reads "full" on GSam or Ampere.
    5. Unplug the cable and use your phone normally until it shuts down (0 percent )
    6. Charge your phone to 100% while it is turned off.
    7. Boot into os and plug in your phone and charge it until it says "full" on the GSam or Ampere.
    8. Unplug and have fun!

    • Battery Capacity Health

    Notes:
    1)     Before checking the battery health, charge the device to 100%.
    2) Check charge counter values and consider first 4 digits from left as your battery capacity in mAh. And check charge counter. (Charge counter/level)*100 is the battery capacity.

    To find battery capacity in Windows:
    • Enable Developer options in your device.
    • Enable USB Debugging in your device.
    • Conect your device to PC and give permissions.
    • Open Minimal ADB (run cmd.exe) or Platform tools.
    • Type "adb shell dumpsys battery" command in Minimal ADB or Platform tools.

    To find battery capacity in Android (Terminal) - Root needed:
    • Download an android terminal app like Termux,
    • Open terminal and type: cat/sys/class/power_supply/battery/charge_full

    • Overheating

    Following reasons will lead to device heating issue:
    • During the initial setup after purchase or when restoring data.
    • Downloading large files.
    • Using apps that require more power or using apps for extended periods such as:
    • Playing high-quality games for long time.
    • Recording videos for extended periods.
    • Streaming videos while using the maximum brightness setting.
    • Using the Screen Mirroring / Smart View feature (connecting mobile to a TV).
    • While multitasking or when running many apps in the background i.e:
    • Using Multi window.
    • Updating or installing apps while recording videos.
    • Downloading large files during a video call.
    • Recording videos while using a navigation app.
    • Large amount of data for syncing with the cloud, email, or other accounts.
    • Exposing device under sunlight when temperature is high around you.
    • Extensive usage of mobile hotspot and tethering feature.
    • Using device in areas with weak signals or no reception or in roaming network.
    • Charging the battery with a damaged / unapproved USB cable.
    • Device's multipurpose jack is damaged or exposed to foreign materials, such as liquid, dust, metal powder, and pencil lead.
    Solution:
    Turn off Wi-fi, GPS , bluetooth and other connectivity options when not in use by dragging the notification panel.
    Decrease screen brightness.
    Close background running applications.
    Too many applications installed in device may result in device heating since their corresponding process will keep on running in background. It is advised to uninstall un-necessary apps if not using them.
    Avoid using apps like GPS, data dependent apps or graphic intensive games for longer duration since they require more energy to function, causing device to heat.
    It is advised not to use device while charging as it may cause the device to over heat.

    • General:

    DO:
    • Use manual brightness or dim the screen.
    • Turn off notifications for apps you don't use. Better still, delete/disable the apps entirely if you don't need them.
    • Enable battery or power saving mode when you want to extend your battery life.
    • Use the power adapter that came with your phone. Other chargers can charge slowly/faster but they can also damage your phone or battery.
    • Turn off bluetooth, location tracking, and Wi-Fi (unless you are actively using it)
    • Turn off print services from bluetooth connection preferences.
    • Avoid extremes of heat and cold. If your phone gets very hot or cold it can strain the battery and shorten it's lifespan.
    DON'T:
    • Have Bluetooth or Wi-Fi turned on constantly.
    • Leave apps running in the background. Instead restrict background usage off apps that you don't need running.
    • Push email means your device is always listening for new email which drains alot of battery.
    • Drain your phone battery all the way to 0% or charging it all the way to 100%. Keep it between 20% - 90% for longer battery lifespan.
    • The more advanced the graphics and animations are (games, videos, photos, animations), the harder the processor and graphics chip in your smartphone have to work. More activity means more battery use.

    • ShutUP10++ , Privacy.Sexy: Disable major tracking features of Windows.
    General:
    • Always prefer Open Source or well popular Programs, Apps, ROMs, Kernels & Stuff.
      Open Source doesn't mean it's 100% safe but it's unlikely to have something suspicious, since you and other users can check the code in GitHub or in any other code hosting platform the "stuff" is hosted. You can also find and use FOSS apps at       F-Droid or at Droid-ify (Recommended).

    • Prefer ROMs & Kernels with SELinux Enforcing. You can find informations here.

    • Always download and install Apps, Programs, ROMs & Stuff from official sources and do not use redirection links from different sites. Google is your friend to find the official source of the stuff you want.

    • Always check the permissions an app requires, before download and install it to your device. If an app ask for permissions which has nothing to do with the app functionality then it's should be reconsider or ask the developer why these permissions needed.
      You can also check if the app includes trackers and ads with ฮตxodus.

    • If you want to avoid Google and Play Store (De-Google), you can choose a ROM without GApps preinstalled like LineageOS and use Droid-ify client which is an installable catalogue of FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) applications for the Android platform. The client makes it easy to browse, install, and keep track of updates on your device. Note that not all apps from Play Store will be available in Droid-ify or F-Droid. Only Open Source projects. You can find alternatives though.
      Alternative you can use       LineageOS for microG or any ROM which support signature spoofing and can support microG and use Aurora Store.

    • For Windows use the default Windows Defender & Malwarebytes to scan your files whenever you want (Prefered before open or install them). Also use the addon/extension uBlock Origin in your Browser. These should be enough for normal users. You can also use the tool ShutUP10++ or Privacy.Sexy to disable major tracking features of Windows.
      For Android Do not use any antivirus - antimalware since it's useless, just check what apps and from where you installing.

    • Always verify the source of addons/extensions in your browser. Avoid installing random and unpopular addons/extensions. Keep it minimal and clean, so browser can be fast and safe, no need bunch of extensions.

    • If you are using VPN, always check the terms and rules of the provider. Avoid random VPN Services.
      Recommended VPN Services.
      Using a VPN will not keep your browsing habits anonymous, nor will it add additional security to non-secure (HTTP) traffic.

    • Recommended is to encrypt your data/files always before uploading them to cloud with tools like Cryptomator.

    • Always use unique and strong passwords for each of your accounts.
      Use awarded open source Password Managers like KeePass or KeePassXC for Desktop and KeePassDX for Android to manage your passwords and have them with you safe, encrypted and secure. Must be noted you can use the same database file between these programs.

    • Always enable 2 Step Authentication wherever is available for your accounts.
      You can use apps like Aegis Authenticator.

    • Do not open or click on links attached in unknown emails or SMS you may get. Always check the address of the email or the number of SMS and verify it's legit from the official source.

    • Create and use "burned" email for accounts/sites you have concerns but you definitely want to try them. Do not use your personal or business email. You can also create and use email aliases of your email with SimpleLogin which is open source and awesome service.

    Some Notes:๐Ÿ—’๏ธ
    • There is some misinformation and abusive against @REIGNZ3 in some Telegram groups. I don't want to move these stuff here but let me explain few things to make it clear to you:
      There are reports from some people who don't have knowledge blaming REIGNZ for sabotaging other custom Kernels specifically NGK and claiming that he intentionally make it to not work in his ROMs and also ignoring reports for his ROMs if custom Kernel or mod is used.
      * Well the second part is true, for your information, none proper developer will take a look on reports of his ROM if you are using custom Kernel or Magisk modules, which may be the reason and the cause of these bugs. Simply if you think ur bug found it's not Kernel related then just go back to Stock kernel of the ROM reproduce the bug and report it then go back to ur kernel choice. Same with modules. Simple right? This will save the time of the developer and actual urs instead of complaining.
      * Now, about NGK Kernel not working on REIGNZ ROMs, that's not exactly true. NGK working fine at the most part. You need to understand that NGK shipping powerhint for libperf and REIGNZ using using qti powerhal. You can't blame someone because doesn't use what a custom kernel use in his OWN work. I will reverse it, and I will ask you why don't u ask @Pierre2324 to use what Reignz use? Well, this is not how the things works. If you don't like the ROM simply move on to another, there is no need to blame anyone and ofc he doesn't do it intentionally.
      * NGK is a great Kernel with good dev but there is no reason to be fanboys with everything.
      * Reignz is one the few devs left supporting the F1 and keep it alive. He was one of the first who released A13 first (and always new android versions), he maintain multiple ROMs and a Kernel for your taste, it's the reason the TWRP can decrypt A12+ encrypted ROMs, his trees and his kernel is used by others to build their ROMs. Instead of blaming him, you should support that kind of devs so they don't leave.
      * The F1 community must be better and less toxic. There are a lot of (general) things happening behind the scences which you may don't know, so please be more careful with your accusations.
    • As I said in the past, you better use XDA more to ask questions rather Telegram groups. Some of these groups are handled by admin(s) which ban, mute, kick and have explosions most of the time for no reason. Use XDA ROM threads which are handled by mature moderators and take legit actions. If you can't find a ROM or Kernel thread in XDA, use my (this) thread.
    • Pixel Experience for F1 is currently dropped and have a spot open for new maintainer so don't expect A13 anytime soon, unless an official maintainer found and apply for it. You can move on and use different ROM since we already have some exceptional ROMs.
