Thank you so much have been waiting for this rom. I had some questions
Fast charging at 67 watts?
Battery life?
Also I like the haptics on this phone will I lose it if I switch to a custom rom?

Also I like the haptics on this phone will I lose it if I switch to a custom rom?

As what I check, the maximum charging watt here is 45W
Battery life is fairly good
And Haptics is still there, but I didn't update the latest QTI effects configuration. They will be imported in the next update

Here are some screenshots in case if you all wonder how it looks like.
Have a look

Can I display the contact's notes in the call interface

 

[Pixelsimp]

Antutu score is on the lower side any reason for this?
Will this be fixed in the upcoming updates?

But antutu test prevent you from using phone?

U can't do that with Google Dialer

What is the important thing about antutu score? what does it matter to ur everyday experience?
If u really want to use a custom ROM because of antutu score, then better move to other ROM that has high 886969 antutu score to u

No offense, it's just that I like to game on this phone and a drop of 20000 points seems substantial enough to indicate a performance hit.

Why not flash another ROM...

 

[A One]

PixelOS is an AOSP based ROM, with Google apps included and all Pixel goodies (launcher, wallpapers, themed icons, Google Sans fonts, Monet color based system wide theming, boot animation), a fork of OG Pixel Experience with improvements on the top of it. Huge respect to Pixel Experience team for their work, thanks to them for making this ROM possible.
In short a fully functional Pixel Experience with just the right amount of essentials.

you're talking nonsense

 

[Pixelsimp]

you're talking nonsense

You get around 540000 in this rom while on stock it is around 700000.
I understand that this is a hobby for you guys and we not entitled to get anything, I am just stating maybe this is not a rom for gamers.

 

[tinted]

Waited for this ROM to unlock my POCO F4 because of Pixel Rom on my mothers Note 10 pro was perfect. Every things working and stable on POCO f4 for now. Battery drain is high though. Without AOD it is little better but i want to use AOD.

Is there anyway this gets the kind of battery Mi 11x got? I mean I dont mind a hit to performance either.

What's the SOT?
And what about fast charging? 67 watts?

What's the SOT?
And what about fast charging? 67 watts?

In latest Run got 3hrs SOT with AOD off, will attach the screenshots.
Also, tested charging speed, drained it totally so it died and powered ON itself, Not sure if it fast charged while it is dead but in around 30 min it charged 60% and total charging time is around 1hr 10min but overall it is fast enough that I did not feel like i needed faster charging. But GSMArena got 100% in 38min so not 65W charging.

Also, video recording not working in the GCam at 1080p and 4k at both 30 and 60fps It used to work in MIUI though.

QR scanner in lock screen is fine(would prefer camera since there is no decent camera shortcut since this phone power button is fingerprint sensor) but in AOD that icon has too much white color which is distracting.

Another question, Does the display's color accurate profile get ported or not because right now I am using adaptive color profile and rest are all saturated to my eyes.

Dolby vision aside HDR 10+ support is also not present for now in Netflix, only HDR 10.

1 - There was an issue related to deep sleep test & it was now fixed in the official build
2 - BSG Gcam works very fine for me, did u set Hardware Level to Level 3+? reduce to Level 3 vs 3+ doesn't work
3 - Dolby Vision with HDR10+ won't be supported here due to some very special modification on the actual MIUI that we aren't supposed to do it here as it would heavily affect our system base framework & also some more problems around it
