Hi everyone,

I’m interested in installing this ROM and was wondering what the main differences are compared to the stock global ROM.

I’ve never owned a Poco or Xiaomi device before, but I usually install custom ROMs on my phones. I’ve heard that this is one of the best ROMs available for Poco/Xiaomi devices, which is why I’m interested in trying it.

However, I haven’t been able to find much documentation explaining the differences between this ROM and the stock global ROM. Are there improvements in areas like performance, battery life, customization, or privacy?

I’d really appreciate hearing from people who have used both so I can understand the advantages and trade-offs before installing.

Thanks!
 
I cannot make a list of every change I made over 9 years.
That makes sense
I wasn’t expecting a full changelog, just more of a general overview of what makes the ROM different from stock and what kind of improvements people usually notice. Once you do it once it will be beneficial for everyone.
 
@James_G They did before, but then people complained that the list was outdated. Check the end of the first post here :
