How to install Project Treble Custom ROMs on Xiaomi Poco F1

1. First of all, make full backup of your system.
2. Select the Project Treble ROM version you want to flash (find these below the tutorial). You’ll need to use ARM64 A ROMs only. Other versions will not work on Poco F1.
3. Extract downloaded ROM version and copy files to phone internal memory or SD card. Some ROMs already have Gapps pre-installed, otherwise you’ll need to download Google Applications separately and install them via TWRP Custom Recovery (P.S. you can find TWRP for Poco F1 here). If you need root, then use magisk app.
4. Boot into TWRP Custom Recovery, wipe “Cache”, “Data”, “System” partitions. Do not wipe “Vendor”!
5. Go to “Install” menu, select “img”, then locate ROM files > Install as system image and wait until installation is completed. Reboot into system, if you’ll see the error message, don’t be scared, simply reboot.
6. If everything was done correctly your device will be booted in freshly installed Custom ROM.
7. Now if you need to install Gapps and Root, then boot into TWRP once again and install these packages.
8. Enjoy Treble ROM on your Poco F1.

All this work is due to efforts from RedmiDevs founding members. They did the full device bring-up.

What is GSI? – GSI means Generic System Image. It is a general system image meant for no particular device. Treble enabled Android devices have a capability to run GSI. For more information and download link for GSI check this link.

Xiaomi Redmi 4A Hardware vs. Treble Implementation

Xiaomi Redmi 4A is an A-only Android device. This means that regarding the GSI images used, you need to get ARM64 and A-only system images.

How to Install Project Treble ROM on Redmi 4A & 5A

Before starting the installation procedure, keep in mind that we are not responsible for bricked devices or corrupted SD cards. You are doing all the steps on your own risk.

• Reboot your Android device into Recovery (You can use TWRP or CWM). Here you can download TWRP for Redmi 4A: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=674106145207489212
• Format: System, Data, and Cache.
• Install the Treble flashable zip package. Here you can find the direct download link. The zip contains:
  • Kernel (a boot image)
  • Custom Partition (a compressed vendor image)
• Install the GSI system image you want to use. Here you can find more info on how to flash a generic system image (GSI) on Project Treble supported devices: https://www.xda-developers.com/flash-generic-system-image-project-treble-device/
• Reboot your device.

Important Notes

• The current minimal (required) firmware version is MIUI 8.3.29 Global Dev. If you are using an older version you may experience installation problems. Here you can download the latest dev package directly from Xiaomi. Flash it prior installing LineageOS. Alternatively, you can download and install one of the newest custom packages containing firmware only. Keep in mind that you are doing this on your own risk.
• G-Apps can be flashed on clean installs only.
• Formatting data (all user data including the internal storage) is obligatory, if MIUI was previously installed and the Android device was encrypted.

Working Features

• VoLTE (AOSP ROMS don’t have the needed patches to get it working. However, most other GSI ROMS have them)
• Camera (with and without flashlight)
• Audio (Playback and Record)
• Telephony (Data and Calls)
• Video Playback
• Bluetooth
• Sensors
• Wi-Fi
• GPS

Known Bugs

• Encryption when coming from a non-treble ROM does not work. That’s why you need to remove encryption when coming from a non-treble ROM.
• Wi-Fi Mac Address is randomly generated. You will keep it the same as long as you are on LineageOS.
• Sepolicy is permissive.

Version 2.0 Changelog

We now have a 2.0-version available, which is unified with Redmi 5A. Here are the main improvements.

• Included new power-off charging animations (it can show percentage)
• Updated Camera to the latest CAF tag
• Updated Kernel to the latest CAF tag
• Fixed call issues over Bluetooth
