juice/chime is a unified codenames made by 3rd party devs for Xiaomi POCO M3 (citrus) & Redmi 9T/Redmi 9 Power/Redmi Note 9 4G (lime/lemon/pomelo). Thus, any ROM mentioned here is only compatible for these devices.
Only ROMs with official maintainership status with good update record will be listed here.
This device also supports HDR & Panorama and supports recording up to 1080p @ 30FPS.
P/S: Want to use Google Camera? Use BSG’s mod… just download latest version available. Doesn’t require root as stock MIUI software has Camera2API enabled by default, the only caveats is Motion Photos feature not working & front cam video recording needs to set to 720p to avoid force close problem.
Selfie/front camera:
There is only single lens for the front camera which forms the waterdrop notch on the top middle of the screen.
8MP, f/2.1 (wide), 1/4.0″, 1.12µm
Features panorama & records video up to 1080p @ 30FPS.
DO NOT TRYto flash POCO M3 firmware on Redmi 9T/9 Power/Note 9 4G or else it will be hard bricked (or even vice versa)! The only last resort to fix this is by using EDL mode, which requires authorized Mi Account.
You can relock the bootloader with official firmware from any region as long as it is not China variant of the firmware (non-China variants) or Global variants of the firmware (Redmi Note 9 4G)
juice is unified codename for POCO M3/Redmi 9T/Redmi Note 9 4G/Redmi 9 Power. It is used in custom ROM/kernel builds.
POCO M3 is an (almost) identical twin of Redmi 9T/9 Power/Note 9 4G. They share identical SoCs, displays, battery capacity & almost similar camera setup.
This one is mostly similar to GSMArena’s one but my version is more detailed because I personally own this device & has some info that are unavailable in GSMArena.
POCO M3 is equipped with 3 lens system for its back camera with flashlight support.
Main lens: 48MP, f/1.8 (wide), 1/20″, 0.8µm, PDAF
Macro lens: 2MP, f/2.4
