Android 17 for the POCO F6 / Redmi Turbo 3 (peridot)
BestROM is a product layer on top of VoltageOS 6.1, which is itself built on LineageOS and AOSP. It targets battery life and a plain dark interface rather than skins or feature count. Every fork under this account keeps its upstream history, authors and notices; BestROM commits sit on top of them.
This repository holds the project documentation, branding and the landing page. The ROM itself is built from the manifest.

Builds are signed with project keys, not AOSP release keys, and ship without root. Release notes for each build are on SourceForge and in the OTA changelog.

folder peridot/. Verify the checksum before flashing. The Updater app on the
device finds new builds on its own.
adb reboot recovery
# Recovery -> Apply update -> Apply from ADB
adb sideload BestROM-3.0-peridot-20260909-0059-OFFICIAL.zip
Dirty flashing over an earlier BestROM build is supported. Coming from another ROM, wipe data first. The zip installs to the inactive slot and activates it.

- Privacy — PrivacyKit spoofs about 57 framework identifiers per app
without root: Android ID,
Build.*, IMEI, IMSI, MEID, SIM operator, advertising and Firebase IDs, MediaDRM, MAC addresses, device name, and location and GNSS coherence. Six rule types, 17 device templates, Play Integrity fixes and a TrickyStore implementation inside the framework. Hardware keystore attestation is not defeated. - Ad and tracker blocking — in the system resolver, enabled by default. No root and no VPN slot. An optional deep mode covers apps that bypass the resolver.
- Agent mode — the device can carry out a typed task on its own. Off by default and disabled again on reboot. The model endpoint and key are yours; this project runs no endpoint.
- WebView and keyboard — Cromite replaces the AOSP Chromium prebuilt, LeanType replaces the AOSP keyboard.
- Edge gestures — edge swipes, key remapping, pie menu, side panels and clipboard history, as a separate app.
- Theme — monochrome and true black by default, with dot-matrix type on the lock screen and no window blur.
- Battery and performance — MGLRU, zstd zram, HWUI and dexopt tuning, deep-sleep statistics since boot, and per-app refresh rate.
Needs a standard AOSP build host: Ubuntu, repo, and around 400 GB free.
