Loved this type of format. This is linus tech TIPS after all right? A touch of the old with some of the new. MORE CONTENT LIKE THIS!

*LinusTechTips, but this video is actually a tech tip*

Respect to our man for not being a overpriced bs devices fanboy unlike some YouTubers 😐.
This man loves pc over mac
This man prefers android phones over IPhones.
This man knows more about actual tech than most tech YouTubers out there.

FYI rooting doesn't void warranty on Xiaomi phones at all

[xyzzy]

"you are now a developer"
so I went through 4 years of university for nothing?

Finally some big youtuber shared information on custom roms. Built in ROMs/software on phones were never a problem since i got introduced to custom roms.

You forgot to mention something very important about the pocophone f1










The pocophone has a headphone jack

[mirrekku]

Dude, I love Linus he literally dedicated 5 seconds for the "itwillwipeyourphone" disclaimer 😂

[FrAnKaNtHoNy]

Xiaomi has announced they will support development. Unlocking bootloader and modifying ROM will not void warranty.

[ZeptoBST]

Linus did a tutorial about Android rom flashing, finally!

[Bums]

*LinusTechTips makes a real Tech Video*
Linus: This video was a little unusual for us.

[JOnTHeMOnSoon]

You should do more of these OS modding videos, it was awesome 👍

Weird to see this pop up. I ordered a Pocophone F1 on Black Friday for 270 (it's on the way) and I saved a few videos on how to load stock Android Pie onto the device because I hate the look of MIUI. Thanks for this one, Linus and team.

[SingularityHRT]

Remember that this is not a step by step guide to flash Custom ROMs, just a quick skim through all the process... So do some research and learn some basics (incl how to flash stock firmware in case You mess up and have a hard brick)...
But it is good to see Linus making a video about Custom ROMs... WOW!!!

[venukrithish]

The crap camera almost won the blind test...lol

[shibinasajiths]

Some tips.

*First - You don't need to flash the magisk first just flash the rom after the TWRP is flashed.
*Second - It's also good to wipe Dalvil Cache and System Partition.
*Third - You can try flashing AOSP GSI Image it will install the stock experience.

Thanks

Watching a pocophone getting turned into a pixel on my pocophone which already got pixel treatment.
Pretty nice.

The Poco has amazing Custom Roms, the CEO himself helped developers at XDA to make great custom roms for this device. Don't like MIUI? Change it now

[erival]

An updated video of this on the Poco f3 would be super cool! Would be great to see how it holds up a few years later with the same method, just updated to the latest versions.

Great timing, I'm actually looking at getting a new phone and this kind of customization is what I want honestly
