Custom ROM Discussion crDroid 13 (Android 17) on POCO X6 5G (garnet)

Post image
8 Upvotes

Just installed crDroid 13 (Android 17) and Gapps on my POCO X6 5G (garnet). Luckily, I still had OEM Bootloader unlock permission from when I installed LOS 23 a long time ago so I didn't have to go through the ordeal of getting permission all over again. The unlock privilege was going to expire next February.

So far, no issues.

FYI, I didn't stay with LOS 23 very long because it had inherited the unresponsive Overview button bug from AOSP 16. I reverted to HyperOS 3 and had relocked the OEM Bootloader. crDroid 13 does not have that bug.

Some highlights (I will keep this list current):

  • Always on Display capable
  • Face Unlock
  • Seems smoother and faster than HyperOS 3
  • Contactless payments using Google Wallet not feasible (as is the case with all custom ROMs these days)

Buying Advice Poco F9 Ultra vs Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra — Same Price, Which One Should I Choose?

4 Upvotes

I'm trying to decide between these two phones, and I'd appreciate some advice from people who have experience with either brand.

Both are available for the same price, but the configurations are different:

Poco F9 Ultra: 12GB RAM / 512GB storage

Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra: 12GB RAM / 256GB storage

I'm wondering which one offers better overall value and will be the better phone to use for the next 3–5 years.

The Poco offers double the storage, but I'm wondering whether the Samsung's cameras, software, and overall experience justify choosing it instead.

If both cost exactly the same, which one would you buy and why? I'd appreciate honest opinions, especially from people who have used both brands.

Question/Help Charging Problem 🔋⚡

• Upvotes

Guys, I have a problem!

I have a 90W charger for my Poco F7 and another 33W charger. This morning, my Poco F7 wouldn't charge with the 90W charger, but it charged normally with the 33W charger. Surprisingly, the same 90W charger works perfectly fine with my Samsung M17.

Is the problem with the charger or my Poco F7? I'm really confused. What should I do? 😭

X8 Pro Max Wer nutzt das Poco X8 Pro Max? Fragen zu Temperatur, HyperOS & Alltags-Kamera

1 Upvotes

Hallo zusammen,
ich überlege aktuell, mir das Poco X8 Pro Max zuzulegen, hätte aber vorher noch ein paar Fragen an diejenigen von euch, die das Gerät schon nutzen.

Besonders interessieren mich folgende Punkte:
Hitzeentwicklung: Wie schlägt sich das Handy bei längerer Nutzung? Wird es bei aufwendigen Games oder intensiven Aufgaben spürbar heiß oder bleibt die Temperatur im Rahmen?

Leistung & Gaming: Reicht die Performance für flüssiges Gaming bei hohen Einstellungen und wie sieht es mit Multitasking im Alltag aus? Gibt es Ruckler oder Leistungseinbußen durch Hitze (Throttling)?

Software & System: Wie läuft das Betriebssystem (HyperOS)? Reagiert die Benutzeroberfläche schnell und flüssig oder gibt es störende Bugs, Bloatware oder Ruckler?

Kamera: Mir ist bewusst, dass es keine High-End-Kamera hat – aber wie schlägt sie sich im Alltag? Reicht die Qualität für solide, passable Schnappschüsse bei Tageslicht aus?
Über eure Erfahrungen, ehrlichen Meinungen und Empfehlungen würde ich mich sehr freuen!

Question/Help Poco X8 Pro. Huge downgrade in charging compatibility

0 Upvotes

​

The Poco X8 Pro has serious charging issues when using third-party magnetic charging cables.

I'm not talking about fast charging. Using the exact same magnetic cables for years, my older Poco F3 and Redmi Note 13 draw approximately twice as much current (mA) and charge normally all the way to 100%.

Meanwhile, the Poco X8 Pro charges much more slowly and stops charging at around 50–70%, never reaching 100%.

This is a massive downgrade. Having to rely on the original, more expensive and less convenient charging cable just to charge a phone properly is sad. It feels like going back to the 1990s, when manufacturers forced consumers to use proprietary accessories.

A newer, supposedly better phone should offer better compatibility, not worse.

Has anyone else experienced this issue with the Poco X8 Pro, especially when using magnetic charging cables?

Question/Help Poco F7 foto processamento ruim de fotos

1 Upvotes

Tenho um poco F7. Quando tiro fotos, por meio segundo ela fica ótima. Aí entra um processamento que acaba deixando ela com contraste e nitidez forçadas deixando-as estranhas.

Me recomendaram baixar o Gcam. Fiz isso, realmente fica melhor. Mas não gosto da ideia de usar um app secundário. Fora que os atalhos para acessar a câmera original do poco (como apertar o volume 2 vezes) parecem não funcionar com o Gcam.

Existe algum método para fotos ficarem melhores ? E sem esse processamento forçado?

I use an original cable and 90w adapter . It's been two days that my cable can't support 90w adapter ( it works fine with a 33w one) and it keeps connecting and disconnecting. And i think its a problem in its ability to support a 90w adapter. So is there a way to fix it? Or I have to buy another? ( Adapter model: MDY-15-EK and cable charge model is A6 i guess)

Buying Advice Is Poco X6 is it good for my mom?

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I have a question for those who have had this phone, my mom needs a new phone, she only uses WhatsApp, Facebook, the web browser and plays solitaire, that's all, I know that any phone fulfills those functions relatively well but I would like one that does it without any problem as smooth as possible and with good battery (seriously play solitaire for hours), I would buy a Poco X8 pro and that would be enough but if I can I would like to save a few bucks, I found the Poco X6 (not the pro) is at a good price and new, but I know and I have had bad poco and redmi phones so I wanted to know if for the use she is going to give it is a good fit, someone who has it or had it that can tell me? Thank you.
