You are perhaps among those users who want to have a smartphone on day one, but often this practice leads the user to find in their hands a smartphone that is still immature and above all not ready for our market, especially if the terminal has a Chinese / Indian origin. This is perhaps the case with POCO X2 aka Redmi K30, device in direct competition with many other smartphones that populate the medium-high range of the market thanks to a series of specifications that we will now list quickly.
Specifications of Poco X2
POCO X2 debuts on the market with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 730G chipset combined with the Adreno 618 GPU. The smartphone houses a beautiful 6,67-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection and 12o Hz refresh rate as well as HDR10. Three different variants proposed with 6 GB RAM and 64/128 GB storage or 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of mass storage.
Photographic sector at the top thanks to a 64 MP primary sensor, which joins other 3 optics: 8 megapixel ultrawide sensor, 2 megapixel macro and 2 megapixel depth sensor, while on the front we have a dual selfie camera 20 +2 MP. Complete connectivity thanks to Dual Band WiFi, Bluetooth 5.0, IR, Radio and GPS, while unlocking is delegated to a fingerprint sensor positioned on the side frame. Complete a large 4500 mAh battery with 27W fast charge support.
Returning to the initial theme, after the purchase of POCO X2, you may want to customize your smartphone with simpler software without sacrificing performance. For this modding with Custom ROMs comes to the rescue, which basically tend to provide more customization options, efficient performance-based tweaks. Furthermore, users can enjoy the bloatware-free experience on their respective smartphones.
Advantages of custom ROMs
- Improved performance;
- Efficient battery life;
- Updates based on the latest version of Android;
- Customizing;
- ROOT access;
- Removal of unnecessary bloatware.
Modding: here are the best Custom ROMs for Poco X2
Carbon ROM
This one that we propose (as well as others) is the unofficial build of Carbon ROM made available for POCO X2. Users can enjoy Android 10 based custom ROM in complete stability. Users do not need to flash Google Apps as they are already included in the zip package. This ROM is supported by many developers making it one of the best for compatibility, stability and fixes.
If you are interested in testing the ROM, we suggest you click on the button below to proceed with the download, but above all to find the right information for the installation. At the moment, although CarbonROM is in beta, no problems have been reported by users.
Bliss ROM
This ROM is also based on Android 10: it offers various customization options with particular dedication to the security aspect. The developers are working to improve the stability of the ROM for Poco X2. If you are interested in trying this ROM you must necessarily come from the official MIUI ROM V11.0.6.0. For this and all the other ROMs proposed, of course you must make sure you have the bootloader unlocked.
AOSiP ROM
As the name suffers, this ROM is based on the most famous AOSP, which offers tons of customization features, including personalized notification LEDs. We are in an alpha ROM situation, therefore there could be a series of bugs, such as those reported by users who make it known that it is impossible to play audio content via Bluetooth connectivity. But if you feel like a pioneer of modding and want to contribute to the improvement of this ROM, you can proceed with the download via the button below.
Paranoid Android
Also in this case we are faced with one of the excellences in the field of Custom ROM, based on Android 10 but unfortunately still in the Alpha phase. For this ROM, however, users do not need to flash Magisk and GApps further, as they are already pre-installed. The ROM integrates the Android base of Code Aurora Forum purely optimized for Qualcomm platforms. The first feedback speaks of a marked improvement in performance and battery life. But be careful, because a series of rather important bugs are reported, therefore this ROM is recommended only to those who want to experiment but who do not POCO X2 their primary device. Also, custom kernels are not yet supported.
LineageOS 17.1 UNOFFICIAL
LineageOS 17.1 needs no introduction, as it is the most popular among Android devices. Although unofficial, users of POCO X2 can install LineageOS 17.1 based on Android 10. In addition to all the significant features all working correctly, the ROM has minor issues, such as permissive SELinux. In this case, the Gapps flash is required for the correct functioning of Google services.
Pixel Experience ROMs
Maybe you are one of the many users who love the stock experience offered on Pixel terminals? Then the Pixel Experience is for you and from poco is also available for POCO X2. It includes all the unPixel wallpapers, apps, launcher, icons, fonts and startup animation. Of course, the base is Android 10 and offers an experience similar to that experienced on the Pixel. Users don't need to flash any external Gapps zip as they are built into ROM.
ROM Xiaomi.eu
Also in this case the presentations are wasted and therefore in a few lines we say that this ROM is based on all the innovations introduced in the latest version of MIUI on a China basis but cleaned up by all those unnecessary services and apps for the European market. It is free from all Xiaomi bloatware and advertisements.
These are 7 Custom ROMs for your smartphone, those available at the moment, but if you know of others or want to bring your experience with these ROMs (also for other terminals) do not hesitate to have your say in the comment box below.
Carbon ROM the best, I use it on a mi a2 without Gapp, fluid on all devices.
