I did a quick search but did not find anything, apologies if its been discussed.
Since the poco f1 seems to have a ton of dev support I was wondering if it was possible to boot a poco rom, either directly or with minimal modifications, since they share much of the same hardware and a common kernel. I found an example of the opposite scenario in which a Mi 8 rom was ported to the poco f1 (Link), but does anyone have any experience of doing the opposite? The poco f1 got an official pixel experience pie rom today, and has many other official ports which all seem great.

I believe the dev support is due to the bugs found on it. It runs MIUI, but as far as I have read it has bugs that our device does not. This is most likely why our device rom was ported over. It is also possible that they were still on MIUI 9 and wanted MIUI 10. While they may be the same, differences on the two will cause issues for one or the other. If I'm not mistaking, the first issue would be the differences in bands, which is a big one (not to mention, MIUI 10 based on Pie should be arriving for us shortly.) This is the same for the custom roms. It is highly unlikely that you can flash a rom from the Poco on the Mi 8. Then there is the anti rollback problem which you have to be careful about as well...

Hey everyone!
If you have noticed a lot of the older Xiaomi models and some other phones successfully ran Android Q, of course with minor bugs.
So since Redmi will stop providing MIUI updates after MIUI 11, does anyone plan to develop and test newer android version ?
The GSI partition on this phone is just bad, it's not as flexible as other phones.
And there's hardly any chance to port future MIUI versions (tried to port for some other models, didn't boot ).
So do you think maybe it's high time to make up a proper custom ROM for this ?
MTK makes this task stupidly hard to achieve, i don't think we're getting further than treble anytime soon.

That's true, though some MTK devices did achieve full treble support.
I was looking into Xiaomi Qin 2, and I realized it's interface is damn beautiful. Don't know what it runs on but it sure looks nice. Kinda regret buying 6A for almost the same price. I would have gone for the Qin 2 instead. Of course, I don't think Mi is releasing the Qin 2 software or will it ever get ported ?
I've been using OnePlus 3T for almost 3 years now and planning to switch to either Redmi K20 Pro or Realme X2 Pro. The stakes are matched one-to-one pretty much, as far as my requirements are concerned, except for one thing.
XDA activity/ custom ROMs, which I love with OnePlus 3T. Though not an extreme flashaholic, and because I'm ditching OnePlus for its pricing strategy, near-stock OS or the choice of custom OS is my only deal-breaker against X2 Pro.
I do understand that X2 Pro is quite new while the K20 Pro has been in around for a decent while and picked up a more-than-decent choice of custom ROMs (Havoc/Pixel Experience/LOS), I would like to understand how well X2 Pro is being received/adopted by the developer community. If the adoption is decent, I am ready wait a little longer for it and get X2 Pro!
I'm eargerly waiting custom roms too.
I might even consider to make a thread to raise money to send a device to some devs I contacted that might be willing to work on the realme X2 pro.
But for the moment I'm waiting realme to fix the fingerprint issue when unlocking bootloader otherwise no custom roms will be feasible.
I tried GSIs from AOSP, LineageOS and PixelExperience, all of them get me into boot loops. I'm also really hoping for a custom rom to come out soon, ColorOS is very disappointing.

The best rom is the one you decide to be the best.
Personally, I really prefer original and untouched stock rom and this is the best rom for me.

But which custom rom option would be the most table with all the phones features working?
I mean I was reading about the pixel experience based on android 10 and got all exicted reading about the it and than boom some one mentioned that you cannot use your dual sim cards. Duh. It's a phone I bought it primarily for dual sim and dedicated sdcard. If that is not working why bother at all? Seemed to me like a rather important detail.
I prefer to stay stock rom if posssible since that should have all the sensors and hardware working. But the this is my first Mi and I find the MIUI bit of a challange (and ugly) . I cannot even use the mi remote if I refuse to login to my mi account. So no mi remote. And it feels a bit slower than my umidigo A5 pro from 2019 that has a MT6763 core 4 gb ram and 32gb running vanilla android 9 os.
That older phone just feels way faster than this one with better specs. I suspect it's because of miui. But it could be android 10 is just slower.
Anyway as time passes by I seem to beable to fix all the important issues. The most recent one was miui killing everything without any solution. So all my little gadgets that make miui usable for me stopped working with in hours.
I hope thats fixed too.
But if not it would be nice to know if there is a good stable as vanilla as possible rom out there that actually works or which one gets closest to this utopia?

I use a ROM pixel and so far I have not seen any problems on redmi note 9. It sees the SIM cards, you can hardly worry about anything
i just dont get it cheaper phones like the poco x3 pro got pixel experience lineage os officially while the a71 a more expensive phone has yet to get one that is why i got a x3 pro the support from custom rom devs most samsung phones have unofficial or bad custom roms for eg pixel expereince the latest samusng phone to support it is the s7 edge do custom rom devs not care about samsung i dont get it ? every poco phone has lineage or some other rom

In case you haven't been keeping up with the Samsung scene, it seems they implement more and more stuff to discourage custom ROMs and rooting. It started with Knox and then stuff like RMM locks. Now, Samsung is trying to disable your cameras on newer phones if you ever unlock the bootloader, which is pretty anti-consumer and anti-dev. That's the main reason you don't see a lot of newer Samsung development, because it's just not worth the hassle.
I agree with ShaDisNX255. The harder you try, the worse it gets. not worth it.

im agree with this this why developer doesnt make custom rom in samsung
you right
I don't have any problems with the device, just that I am used to modding my devices and Samsung has made it very unappealing to root/unlock their phones. So if I trade this device, which is still under warranty, will it be a good deal?
that's gotta be entirely your decision as you've got to live with it. Oneplus 9 might've fixed some of it's heat issues or the community might've solved it, but look into that first. don't know much about the Xiaomi other than you need custom firmware because the stock one isn't good and the cameras aren't bad.
I'm currently running Lineage 19 GSI with a modified quick settings pull down, I'm rooted and have TWRP. the only thing I'm missing that I want is v4a and I could submit logs to get that fixed if I wanted. Samsung phones have had Knox for nearly a decade now, accepting Knox's demise going in is standard for Samsung modders. this phone is a rare chance to a Samsung with a snapdragon that can be rooted/modded for many people. custom roms are being worked on but both devs are new to Samsung and really struggling with a final major bug. if they overcome the problem custom roms will start to come thru with greater ease.

Well that last line gives me hope.
well the truth is the two guys working on roms have been struggling with getting the SIM cards to be recognised for months, to the point of needing to walk away for their sanity. the projects may resume or might not. there are one or two other devs with this phone who've said they'll be waiting until all the official updates are finished releasing. again there, no guarantee they'll even still have the phone by that time.
most guys are using GSI roms for now, they're OK but a full custom rom would be better.
If you like custom roms and development related fun with your device, you should go with xiaomi, xiaomi devices has better developement range and easy way to play with it, but oneplus hasn't as i also own 9rt and i am not a big fan of google dialer and because of only dialer i want to change rom to chinese( as 9rt has only chinese rom and chinese rom might have oneplus dialer ) and i am unable to find a proper thread or guide to get familier with oneplus phone - unlocking bootloader, flashing rom and vice versa. but in same case with xiaomi its easier and lots of videos on youtube too to get it done.
but mi 11 x pro has not a lot of custom roms, instead of this mi 11x has a wide range and you should try this
But one thing keep in mind among all devices you said and includes mi 11x samsnug s20 fe is best as i used all of this devcices and currently i am on 9rt samsung is good with stock rom you do not need to flash any custom rom.
mi 11x has best performance according to price but worst camera, mi 11x pro good phone but so so camera, 9rt is good in 3 of this but no wide range of custom developement.
