The Clover Project has finally stepped into the Android 16 era — and we are among the first testers to get our hands on the brand-new Clover Project v3.4 for Mi 11X / Poco F3 (Alioth). This build is not public yet, but after direct conversation and testing with the developer, we can confirm that Clover’s first Android 16 QPR1 release is shaping up to be one of the most polished early builds ever released for this device.
This article includes exclusive testing details, developer notes, performance observations, and the official download link shared directly by the developer.

What Makes Clover Project v3.4 Special?
Clover ROM has always been known for its clean UI, smooth performance, and stable feature set.
But v3.4 marks a huge milestone:
✔ First Official Build Based on Android 16 QPR1
This is the latest platform release from Google with improved performance, adaptive rendering, and better background process optimization.
✔ Exclusive Early Release (Not Public Yet)
The build was privately shared for testing before its global rollout.
✔ Built-in MemeCamera
The developer confirmed he intentionally kept the MemeCamera because of:
- Ultra-fast QR code scanning
- Lightweight UI
- Simple, reliable shooting experience
It’s rare to see a dev choosing a camera for functionality over hype — but Clover always prioritizes practicality.
Developer Conversation Highlights (Exclusive)
The dev confirmed:
- The build is booting successfully
- No critical crash loops
- A temporary freezing/hang of wallpaper & settings was observed but fixed after a reboot
- Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, UI transitions, and app launching worked normally after reboot
- Developer will attempt to reproduce the freeze to check logs
- You (the tester) helped provide logcat instructions for debugging
This shows that the build is in active developer debugging, not yet final — but already functional.
Early Testing Experience (Our Review)
✔ Booted Successfully
The ROM booted without issues within the expected time frame.
✔ UI Smoothness
After initial boot:
- Home screen transitions smooth
- App drawer smooth
- Lock screen animations good
✔ Temporary Lag Bug
At one point, the tester experienced:
- Wallpaper stuck
- Settings page hanging
- Navigation unresponsive
But on reboot:
- The issue disappeared
- Device performance normalized
This suggests it was likely a first-boot dex optimization lag, not a major bug.
✔ No Major Blockers
After the reboot:
- ROM did not lag
- No freezes
- No repeated issues
This is excellent for a first QPR1 build.
Features & Improvements
🆕 Android 16 QPR1 Base
Contains all the new A16 enhancements like:
- Better scheduler performance
- More efficient rendering pipeline
- Improved security patches
- Faster load times for heavy apps
🔧 Under-the-Hood Optimizations
From our testing:
- System UI more responsive
- App launch times faster
- Reduced jank vs previous versions
🧪 Stability (Early Stage)
- Not fully stable
- Not recommended yet for daily use
- Meant for early testers & dev feedback
In future 🎥 MemeCamera will be Included.
Known Issues (Based on Testing)
- Temporary UI freeze on first boot (fixed after reboot)
- Wallpapers & settings may momentarily hang during first app optimization
- More issues may appear with extended usage — logs will help dev refine the release
Developer is currently analyzing logs to stabilize everything before the public rollout.

📌 Conclusion: Clover Project v3.4 is Exciting, Polished & Almost Ready
Even in its early testing stage:
- It boots
- It’s smooth
- It’s stable after reboot
- It introduces Android 16 QPR1 early to Mi 11X / Poco F3 users
- Only minor early-stage glitches were found
Clover Project v3.4 is shaping up to be one of the best early A16 ports for Alioth.
A public release should arrive soon once logs are reviewed and minor issues are ironed out.
