ronnz98 Thank you for sharing this ROM! I really like /e/os and have been using it for several years! Now it’s time to install /e/os on the POCO X6.

I have a question about this ROM and please get an answer that will help me:

  • POCO X6 phone has 3 lenses: standard, wide and macro. Does this ROM allow you to use all 3 lenses? Is there an Open Camera app or Xiaomi Camera app?
  • Using this ROM, is there support for FULL-HD 60fps video recording?

Best regards!

I don’t use the device so you have to find out yourself. Best you read the install instructions above and use /e/OS ROM instead of crDROID ROM

The /e/OS ROM is not solely responsible for the functioning of applications, but the open source apps are the icing on the cake. And here, the higher the quality of the original applications, the more restrictions are to be expected. This fact has been known for a long time. Try out the HedgeCam 2 Advanced Camera app

I tested the application HedgeCam 2 (v 2.15b) on a standard HyperOS system (stock ROM). And unfortunately I don’t see there the possibility to switch to other lenses. Of the three rear lenses that the phone is equipped with, I can only use one (I do not have the option to select the wide-angle lens and the macro lens).
I don’t have such an option, but maybe I don’t know where there is such an option in this application…

I suppose this app will behave the same after installing /e/os as it behaves now on stock rom.

Yes.


If the camera functions are so important to you, you absolutely want to use them, and you can’t find an adequate app camera replacement, the only option is stock Android 14 in dual boot with custom GSI. This may not be an elegant solution, but it is practical.

In practice, it looks like this: Use HyperOS 1 (A14), debloated, but with Xiaomi camera app + degoogled Custom GSI (AOSP 14, 15) in dual boot for all other applications.

Basic requirement: Bootloader is unlocked.

If you have not unlocked the bootloader yet, then we can talk again in 30 days, rather more. See e.g. here…

Hi, good job, I have a question about the redmi note 13 4g, not the pro version. I can’t find any rom for this device, the one avaible are an old version of crdorid and xiaomi.eu os2.
Why does the pro version have so much support?

I suspect ROM delevopment for the Note 13 4G is not anymore ongoing, all available ROMs are closed now

I see… I don’t get why the first release of cdroid was in september and after 3 months all the rom were closed. Almost like someone actively stopped the developer from working on it, same goes for the other roms.
How hard would be for a noob like me to port e/OS to this device? I know a few programming languages and have some basic linux knowledge.
Ps: i guess it has to do with the release of android 15

I presume its related to that the kernel is only a prebuilt kernel and no sources for kernel available which is a main requirement
Currently not available:

But this might change…
