Project Mica has officially released its first Android 16 QPR1 build for the Poco F3 / Mi 11X (alioth). This update brings the long-awaited QPR1 base to the device, offering an early look at Android’s latest quarterly platform improvements. However, the developer clearly states that this is not recommended for daily use just yet.
What’s New in This Release
This release is an initial AOSP-based bring-up of QPR1, focusing mainly on getting the new platform booting and functional on the alioth series.
Key Highlights

- GApps already included
- Updated recommended firmware support
- Compatible with Apatch for rooting
