wew very quick tho... Gonna install this when my brother's Poco M3 will arrive... He's an IPhone SE 2020 user and just purchased Poco M3 because he thought the smoothness of the X3 (its 120hz Refresh Rate) (I have Poco X3) will be the same on the M3... he's really obsessed with my X3 tho because i dunno... I was really shocked when he asked me whats the review of the M3, it is good and something like that and finally he said to me he purchased it online like it was nuts! Hahaha
I hope he will not be disappointed by the camera of the Poco M3 and its capabilities...

btw² how you managed to make a debloated rom of Poco M3 afterall like it was released just 1 week ago?

Coming from a phone that have an A13 Bionic chipset, that was on the last year Iphone flagships to a Poco M3 that have a midrange SD662 from 2019 (technically it's from January 2020, but the performance is equal to SD660 and SD665 from 2019 midranges), will be quite a shock in performance for your brother.
POCO M3 is nothig like the POCO X3, i am sure that your brother was tempted by the 120hz RR, the Poco M3 as peer the reviews cant even push the 1080P screen to display 60FPS.

Haha As writing on this time, my brother has now refused to receive his order online because he was so frustrated that its not as fast as the Poco X3 after viewing MKHBHD's review and he has just shared it to his friends girlfriend so there will be no time wasted ordering again.

Just installed this ROM yesterday. So far the performance is pretty good, I've even rooted with Magisk to debloat further and for some modules I use. The only issue is excluding the dark theme from certain apps, but after searching online it seems to be a known MIUI 12 problem and I was able to work around it.

Hi @ RXT00 what version of Magisk did you use for root?

I'm using Magisk 20.4 stable. No problems with it so far. Also, to make it simple, I replaced the boot.img in the eu ROM with a Magisk patched one before flashing.

Do you mean installing the ROM? Have you unlocked your bootloader already?

I mean... You are installing a new ROM. As long as you have a Poco M3 device, your current ROM does not matter...
You will be installing xiaomi.eu rom, based on chinese stable builds.
Sorry i dont understand...could be flash on all stock rom?

When you flash the xiaomi.eu rom, it will replace your current ROM. So whatever if you have a global or european one, it will be replaced with xiaomi.eu.

So it doesn't matter the rom you have, it will work.
