The Xiaomi POCO F1 is quickly moving in to occupy the void left by the flagship killers moving to higher price brackets. The POCO F1 is reminiscent of the OnePlus One, bringing in flagship grade performance at affordable prices. While there are obviously a few shortcomings when compared to more expensive flagships, the aggressive pricing of the device makes these issues easier to ignore, especially if you are on a tight budget.

The POCO F1 is getting a lot of good attention from the developer community. There is already a wide variety of ROMs, kernels and other customizations like a Google Camera port and MultiROM available for the device. And now, you can add the popular FrancoKernel to the list of available third-party customizations.

XDA Recognized Developer ‘s FrancoKernel is known for its stability and efficiency, and is used by thousands of people across a diverse group of devices. For the POCO F1, kernel builds starting with r1 work with MIUI and custom ROMs based on LineageOS. However, it is advised not to flash the kernel on top of Android Pie-based MIUI 10 Beta builds as WiFi functionality currently does not work on those ROMs.
