The Poco X3 Pro (codename Vayu/Bhima) continues to receive excellent custom ROM support, and the latest crDroid v12.3 update builds on top of Android 16 to deliver a polished, fast, and stable experience. This release includes multiple UI refinements, performance improvements, audio fixes, and deep system-level enhancements specific to the device.
With SELinux enforcing, OSS base, and a clean vanilla setup, crDroid v12.3 remains one of the most reliable Android 16 ROMs available for the Poco X3 Pro today.
A More Polished Android 16 Experience
Android 16 (Baklava) brings a lot of subtle but impactful improvements, and this crDroid release integrates them with thoughtful refinements.
Navigation, Gestures & System UI
The navigation experience receives major attention in this update:
- Improved gesture selection menus inside Settings and Launcher
- Better alignment, smoother transitions, and more responsive edge gestures
- Enhanced status bar icon theming for better visibility in different themes
- Updated color bundles in the wallpaper-based theming engine from Android 16 QPR1, offering more accurate and richer color swatches
- New SystemUI clocks implemented using Google’s latest font sets
- Certain clocks removed as per Google’s burn-in prevention guidelines
- Blur values and render configs updated for smoother animations
These upgrades collectively make the interface feel more refined and consistent.
Device-Specific Improvements for Vayu/Bhima
The Poco X3 Pro has always been a performance-oriented device, and this update addresses core hardware integration.
Updated SusFS 1.5.12 (with SUS_MAP support)
SusFS helps optimize file structure management, and the new update improves mount handling and performance stability.
Stock Audio Path Restored
One of the biggest quality-of-life improvements—
Audio routing has been reverted to stock configuration, fixing issues introduced by custom paths.
This results in:
- More stable sound output
- Better compatibility across apps
- Fewer distortions and channel issues
Bluetooth Audio Fixed
Bluetooth-related issues, especially on certain codecs and devices, have been fixed. Users should now experience:
- Stable BT audio output
- No random disconnections
- Better compatibility with TWS earbuds
Performance, Stability & Misc Improvements
Beyond UI and device-specific changes, the ROM includes multiple internal fixes, such as:
- Optimized background service scheduling
- Improved resource allocation under heavy load
- Smaller memory footprint for SystemUI components
- Reduced micro-lags when switching between apps
- Better RAM retention and app caching
These refinements improve the long-term performance of the X3 Pro, especially for users who multitask heavily.
