I've been using my poco x3 pro for a month now and I'm really happy with it. However it always heats up on casual usage (like scrolling through apps).
Has anyone experienced less overheating in custom roms vs. stock miui? I'm kinda hesistant of unlocking bootloader and flashing custom roms as I'm afraid of bricking it (I haven't found any solutions to brick yet such as patched firehose to bypass auth in case of edl). But if it can solve the overheating problems maybe I'll give it a try.

Had the phone for a couple of weeks haven't really experienced a difference in heat using ArrowOS though. I suppose it depends how warm it gets, apparently it's normal for it to get pretty warm. If everything is working as it should and temps are around 30°C when it's idle then it's fine.
I wouldn't be afraid of bricking the phone so as long as you follow a tutorial correctly. I did it first time for my Poco and everything runs fine.

Try MIUI EU 12.5.5, its far better than Stock MIUI, less heating, and solved some problem you may and may not know. also dont use Custom karnel on MIUI its caused overheating in many cases.
So yes i used the phone with MIUI EU 12.5.5 on daily basis and theres no overheating, its not even warm when used for scrolling apps or browsing. Stock MIUI is garbage brother try other rom.
it has something to do with your kernel and its setting
different roms has their own preferred kernel configurations

Hi.
It's been 2 months that I have used my one plus one and I still have the original/vanilla build 22R.
Now I'm curious is it worth to update to the newer versions? I have heard so much bad feedback regarding battery life and other bugs.
What are the pro's and con's?
Right now I'm enjoying 3 days battery life, 5h screen time. But microphone gain for videos is bad also for sound recording. WiFi and the antenna for RF seems to be buggy and not working properly.
Thanks in advance,

Just update. Updates are good. Don't listen too much the blaming people cause a lot of them just confuse themselves by doing tests right after the update.
I agree with the previous poster, update your phone, don't worry about the negative Nellies, it's usually user error anyway.

Make sure you do the updates in order, or just flash the complete 44s ROM that you can find also (use search, stock rooted 44s).
Personally I would just flash the complete ROM and skip the incrementals lol

What about the battery life etc? I have heard like terrible stories(ofcourse myabe their nellies) but i kinda like the long one right now and I doubt there will be possibility to rollback unless i unlock my bootloader and install TWRP/CWM .
Battery life is good for me and others I've seen. It is possible to go back to old versions but like you said it requires unlocked boot loader and custom recovery probably. Why don't u want to unlock it?
Most battery problems are caused by wake locks. There's a thread in general by timmaaa called play services battery fix if you have issues. If your phone works good as is and don't care about upgrading then don't lol it's not a requirement. If you have bugs then it's probably fixed in the upgrades. Just don't blame us if you do upgrade though

Would unlocking bootloader cause any stuff related to wakelocks? Right now It is perfect 0 drain over night and no terrible wakelocks,
I remember with daily SGS2 build there were terrible wakelocks with up to 20% drain over night
Unlocking bootloader won't do that. Updating or flashing ROM might, no guarantees. My experience is good with latest update, some others have problems most I would say don't. It's your phone and your choice what to do with it lol.
Just update, dont ask to much. Phone is working great on 44S. You will see when you update, battery life is great for me.
Hello everyone I have just joined this forum about two days ago. I own a oneplus one which i found to be one of the finest smartphones until CM12 came along. It seems to me that CM12 ruined battery life of the oneplus. With CM11 battery life was much better, even charging time was not more that 2hrs max. Now I have read the forums that many oneplus owners experienced the same issues.
Now the thing is that I do not have any experience in how to root my my phone or install kernels and other stuff. Is there anything that would help my phone to have a similar battery life of CM11?
Thanks

I take it you haven't unlocked your boot loader yet?
Unfortunately 5.0+ seems to be a bit poorer in the battery dept for most people. Most are hoping 5.1.1 helps the battery life, if not we'll have to hope for android M whenever that arrives. If you had an unlocked b/loader and custom recovery you could tryout some custom roms. Or even flash a 4.4.4/kitkat rom as many (including myself) have done. I had installed multirom and have been running COS12 as the main rom and CM11S on the secondary. The battery life was/is so much better, I was hitting 5-6hrs screen on time over 2days from a full charge, with lollipop I was hitting 4-5hrs screen on time over 1-1.5 days at a stretch., the standby drain is also a lot more.
If you havent already done so you could try checking privacy guard and denying wake up and keep awake permissions to google play services or anything else that seems to be active a lot in the background that you think shouldnt.

No I never unlocked anything. the phone is just unrooted. What I only is just change themes, which seems also to be buggy. So is it possible to revert back to CM11s? Are COS12 and CM12 the same or different please?

It isnt possible without unlocking your bootloader, see the below guide if you want to look at that option. It seems a lot of hassle but once its unlocked, thats it, it wont lock again unless you specifically go through running a command to do so. As an added advantage you can install a custom recovery which will allow you to make a full nandroid backup, which you can keep on your device or copy over to your PC. You can use this if you ever run into any problems or if you want to try out some other roms, you have the option to go fully restore your last setup.
I dont think I've had any issues with themes, is it one in particular or all, what happens?
I believe we are referring to the same thing, COS12 (Cyanogen OS 12) is what the oneplus one runs out of the box (stock Cyanogen OS). CM12 which is what it also gets called can also mean the CM12/12.1 nightlies, which can be flashed like a custom ROM and are considered the most up to date (on the bleeding edge if you like).

EDIT: I've done a factory reset and it stays the same. there is no intertia when scrolling. even at first step, when choosing the phone langage at first setup.
Hello everyone, hope you can help.
The scrolling is very slow compared to any other phone, I borrowed a samsung phone from a friend to show the difference. There is not inertia, it's really annoying, I have to scroll 10 times to see a long webpage. It is really a software issue, the screen is working perfectly.
The only place where the scrolling is smooth it's in the settings/developer options, see video.
Thanks all in advance.

I've never encountered this issue on stock ROM nor on MIUI EU ROM which I've flashed on this phone. See if switching between 120/60hz screen mode changes anything. Seeing as you have developer options enabled maybe you've selected so etjingnin there shouldn't have too - try disabling that. Have you tried factory resetting to see if that fixes it? Obviously backing up all your data first.

Hello and thenks for your answer, I've just got a brand new phone. It's been happening from the beginning, even before enabling developer options, I've seen other people having the same problem, thought it was a rom problem (i'm using stock rom updated to 13.0.5)
https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/comments/laay68
tried that fix as well of corse and didn't help
Can you run Geekbench on your device when this happens and post the scores here?
Thanks for helping, below both CPU and COMPUTE Benchmarks

Although I think is not a matter of bad performance it's just the ROM itself Im afraid. It's a feature let's say.
PS: I've done a factory reset and it stays the same. there is no intertia when scrolling. even at first step, when choosing the phone langage at first setup.
If you've watched videos of this phone in use and you can see the scrolling works alot better than yours - if I were you, I'd return my device. If the issue was ROM wide then it could perhaps be a digitiser issue. If it's only some screens then I'd think it was a setting somewhere... Since you've factory reset your phone I'd say you can rule out a setting applied on accident. Haven't seen anyone else mention this issue yet

Hello, thanks for your answer.How does the benchmark look? Strangely the scrolling is super-smooth and has inertia with some apps or setting, for example in the developer settings and in the settings area in general is butter-smooth. My phone came with MIUI 12 and unfortunaly I've updated it straight away so can't really compare.
I've seen other people complaining:

Why does MIUI 13 (Android 12) feel so sluggish and generally-speaking slow on X3 Pro?
Hi everyone, I was thrilled last night when my X3 Pro showed an upgrade to Android 12-based MIUI 13 was available. I downloaded the thing (all 3.1 GB of it...), install went without a hitch, ditto reboot, but I'm severely disappointed so far...

To be fair, I've never cared for benchmarks unless I've run flagship devices so I haven't bothered testing this as it runs smooth and has good batter life. Which benchmarking app would you like me to test for you? Will post results

I asked to run Geekbench to know if you face the above issue. Sometimes, my Redmi Note 11 caps peak CPU frequency to 1.1Ghz (instead of 2.4Ghz) and it never peaks till I reboot!
Juste wanted to check if it's prevalent across MIUI 13 irrespective of device.
Hi! This happened to me on freshly flashed xiaomi.eu ROM.
I was able to fix it by changing default wallpaper to something else

I have the exact same issue so send text or WhatsApp messages is a nightmare, I often just send half completed messages as a result. I raised this with Xiaomi support who just refunded me without troubleshooting suggesting it's a known fault

Not so much lag but when want to move the cursor or scroll for editing it freezes. I am very tempted to buy another one as they're not cheaper and hope for the better. Same on gbord and swifkey using text and whatsapp.
Im going to talk about my past experience.
I was using miui 12.5 (xiaomi.eu) and orangefox recovery.
At that time, I tried to use PE rom or Evo rom, so I tried flashing both, but only PE-ROM was bootable. Maybe Evo rom needs to use a different recovery...
Anyway, I set things up with PE rom and used it, but the phone was warm. I figured something was running in the background and let it idle, but it was still warm. It was worse when charging, and the charging speed was also slower than before (hopefully not because of the absence of Mi FastCharging...).
Now that I think about it, I should have done a reflash...
Since then, I've only been using eu roms, but this time a13 Evo roms came out and I'm trying to be brave again. There is no such problem with Evo rom, right??
Was My behavior bad?
I would like to hear opinions from a13 Evo users and experts
sorry for my english
As I stated in the title, how can I improve the overall phone performance, battery life and user experience? I've tried a couple of custom ROMs(PE+ CrDroid, ArrowOS, LineageOS, EvolutionX), and they were good but not satisfactory.
I think I just stepped in a big rabbit hole of configuring my phone and this is the first phone that I'm tinkering, so I'm pretty much clueless after flashing a custom ROM. Now I have so many questions after learning the possibilities.
1- Should I use a custom kernel? What will be the benefits?
2- Any ROM that prioritizes the performance and battery while doing so without any bloat? (Currently using ArrowOS 13.1)
3- What can I do to achieve further improvements to the phone?
I hope you guys can help me, thank you all in advance.
Flash xiaomi Eu rom
It's stock xiaomi rom but modded with removed extra bloatware apps
There is nothing best, you need to test everything and see which stuff is running well for your device. Be very careful doing those stuff, you must know how to recover from soft brick. Welcome to the game of roms and kernels.
as i learned it in the hard way.. be prepared to brick (soft or hard) your device...
1- Should I use a custom kernel? What will be the benefits? normally custom kernels is just "overclocked" settings.. this let you feel a fast device but it consumes more battery and battery life. and stock kernel is always 100% stable... any custome kernel does not have that level of stable... and no custom roms accept bugs with custom kernels.. so if you flash a custom kernel in a custom rom and have random reboots or dead 4g, camera, wifi, bluethoot, etc ... you are gonna be ignore in rom's support.
2- Any ROM that prioritizes the performance and battery while doing so without any bloat? (Currently using ArrowOS 13.1) in my opinion, lineage is the cream of custom roms. You should try all of them at least 1 month each to have a veredict of which is the most you like
3- What can I do to achieve further improvements to the phone? depends on for what do you use your phone... poco x3 pro have a great chipset and ram with great sensors...
we can`t tell you an answer cause (for example) i use my phone only to talk, whatsapp, twitter, 9gag and gcam. i do use bank apps an stuff but my daily apps are those 4 apps since 6-7 years ago.
You're a few years too late.
Back in 2011-2017 there were a lot of custom Tweaks for Kernels to optimize Stuff.
But with Treble/GSI and EAS (Energy aware Sheduling) that stuff has become so optimized out of the Box that you don't really NEED anything. The improvements are just minor.
As long as the OEM doesn't completly **** up. ^^
Also Hardware has become more and more powerfull, so even if it doesn't work perfectly well. You still get a fluid feeling decent rom. Only battery life won't be as awesome as it could be.
That's part of why there are still a lot of Custom ROM's out there, as there are a lot of people with different opinions on what features are essential and need to be built in, but not as many custom Kernels anymore.
Especially since most custom ROM's include their own Tweaks in their Kernel to harmonize perfectly together.
