Installing Official Android 10 GSI - Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers

I have been trying to install the official android 10 gsi on my mix 2s: https://developer.android.com/topic/generic-system-image/
Flashed the rom but the phone just bootlooped, after going through the initial instructions more carefully, turns out this phone is not fully VNDK (Vendor Native Development Kit) compliant.
My question is, what does this mean for the phone? Can't say I understand it well, but would Xiaomi have to make an updated Android 10 vendor partition? Are there some devs who can make it VNDK compliant, and its only a matter of time? Is this VNDK built into any custom Android 10 rom that will be made for this device in the future?

That would be interesting if it actually booted.
Not sure that this VNDK compliant is which you are refering

I attached a screenshot of the section I'm talking about, the output for the Mix 2S for "namespace.default.isolated" is "false."
Also I found that Xiaomi plans to update this device to MIUI 11 (Android 10) sometime between now and the end of the year, so that should update the vendor software and make this GSI able to boot. :fingers-crossed:

Do not try to install for now. I've already installed and for some reason I don't know, my phone always crashed so I have to reboot it.....:crying:

Our devices didn't ship with android 9.0 so I doubt they would be "VNDK", unless xiaomi choose to do this(doubt it tbh, wish but doubt) in our phones. We have no luck unless they(xiaomi) provides an update for android 10

I'd prefer if we were independent from xiaomi. I mean if xiaomi stop providing new versions I'd prefer if devs don't need weird workarounds

Yeah that was half my reason for buying a new phone. I thought treble would be the solution to indefinite independent updates, but I guess not quite :crying:

Well only if google forces companies to fully comply with treble we might get lucky. It would be nice to not depend entirely on Xiaomi

androud Q GSI

Hi guys, So how I can install this ?
https://www.xda-developers.com/android-q-gsi-project-treble/amp/?__twitter_impression=true
I don't know if unmodified gsi will work for us, as treble requirements have been changed since our phone shipped. May be possible to modify but that is for smarter people than me. Google is apparently doing beta program again probably starting with beta 3 so maybe better to wait for that

It boots but lots of bugs and not usable at the moment for our phone. Google's version doesn't work you have to use efrans version. If you want to keep up with it here's the telegram link.

Our devices is dead??? No more rom support?

Hi, since Xiaomi decided to depreciate rom support for our mi4c, everyday i try to find a replacement firmware. But here is what i found: official lineage removed mi4c since april, last rom is 0209 because they no longer support 14.1 version. AICP lastest version is 2702, no longer update. There're many unofficial roms on 4pda, but all of them now have their support ended because the devs move to new devices. There's only Mokee that support nightly 9.0 and release 8.1 version everyday and monthly. I try to find something like "mi4c treble" but no hope, the repository is created but empty, not like mi4 that has unofficial treble support. Maybe i need to buy a new phone? But my phone is still in good condition with no problem so far... :crying::crying::crying:
Yeah, sad but true. I also gave up on new rom, so i still use the 15.1 LineageOS one (20180810). Good rom, no problems here, but wouldnt mind some security updates.
The phone works nicely though and apart from battery lasting a day, i dont see any problems. I guess we will have to move to new phone if we want to see some updates rom.
I resized device partition table in order to support android treble.
I will make custom recovery image which is support android treble.
Maybe our device is ready to support android treble by then
added
I made treble-enabled recovery image now and it works well.
I will release the solution soon.

/e/ is a fork of lineage and based on lineage 14.1 for our phone, with microg pre installed. They use a different default launcher, bliss
It works well and is easy to tweak if we dont like the launcher or default apps.
Anyway since our phone is no longer maintained i've decided to build lineage 14.1 for myself.
I'll do it once or twice a month when there are updates.

Mokee have a good android 9 ROM, been using it for months and no issues:
https://download.mokeedev.com/libra.html
Also WJXXBSH recently published new Lineage 16 and even 17! https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=299149
I have not tried it yet, but at least WJXXBSH is keeping our device live.
how about lineage 16 from havoic 3.1 (https://sourceforge.net/projects/havoc-os/files/libra/)
At least it work fine for me on mi4c

Android 10 ROMS for our beloved P2?--- A Discussion.

Does anyone know any developer who would be willing to make android-10 ROMS for our P2 or is Pie the last update for this awesome phone?

Hopefully not as the developers said that as long as they have this phone working they'll keep the development going. :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
Well, I hope there will be future development for this phone too. I'm using one for more than 2 years, and battery still rocks, it sure lasts more than any flagship !
as far as i can tell, mike is working on lineage os 17.
so at least one android 10 rom might be coming soon

Yea bro same, more than 2.5 years and still i get SOT of 6-7 hours.
Whenever i think of buying a new phone, i look at my p2 and i stop. Its still so smooth cuz of the ROMS and charges under 1 hour and 15 minutes.
This phone is the best purchase i ever had. So i want development to keep going on, atleast for 1 more iteration of Android. Then i'll maybe buy Redmi K20 pro next year cuz it'll also have good development in future.
@Erazor84 that's good news brother. But I'll wait for AOSP xtended Android-10 (if it ever comes)
Bcuz i used their Oreo build and now using pie, and i found them the best among all of'em.

My guess would be at least 2 more ROMs :fingers-crossed: one from @VladSor and second from @Fullbustah as they are consistent with porting/ developing the ROMs such as Havoc, Syberia, Bootleggers and POSP for P2.
But of course, we need a reliable vendor upgrade first.
Xiaomi redmi note 4 which has the same Specs has just got lineage 17.

Generic System Image (GSI) is pure untouched Android released by Google for treble enabled phones with a designated vendor partition.
Semi GSI (SGSI) is a customized GSI with features and name of a custom ROM and it can also be installed on treble enabled phones with a designated vendor partition.

The following url https://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p2/development/rom-aosip-derpfest-t3981193 will give You access on this forum to the thread concerning AOSiP-10-DerpFest-Alpha-kuntao-20191009.zip which is the first alpha version of the first Android 10 custom rom dedicated to the Lenovo P2.
If You are interested in testing this Android 10 rom, just follow the installation instructions given on the first page of the thread.
If I well understood, I think that someone, maybe mikeioannina ?, should now be working on a Android 10 rom LineageOS 17. If this is the case, all we can do is to be patient.
You will note that from now on we must say Android 10 instead of Q as asked by Google. So, next year, the next version of Android will be Android 11 and not R.
Below is the lineageos github page for Kuntao (Lenovo P2a42), the branch is on 17.0, but it seems it hadn't been developed on in 4 months, but i don't know how these things go...

Hello I've tried all of the versions on my KUNTAO, at the beggining very laggy now better, there are some ROMS which you can use w/out a problem if you can live w/out some of the features like the FP GESTURES OR AA CONNECTIVITY.
HAVOC 3.0 (NOT THE TREBLE VERSION) to me is the best option till this post furthermore I don't know.
CHHERS
So, We are half a year further from the last post in this thread, any news on the stability and performance of the android 10 rom's? Im right now on Crdroid Pie ROM and except fingerprint kicking the bucket everything is working flawlessly. Any stable and well performing 10 rom's out there, or should we wait a little longer?

Lineage OS 18.x

Hope this is a good place to ask. I had to get the old Oneplus 7 pro back and Renovate ICE is pretty much dead. I'm not sure if I want to go all the way to Android 12, since I think Oneplus only had it up to 11. On the downloads for Lineage OS though, they only go back to version(s) 19.x which is Android 12.
Help a brother out anybody?
Thanks.

Lineage OS 20, based on Android 13, was only released last month. Give it some time.

Part of the reason people install custom ROMs is to extend the support for their device.

True, but without an actual working stock ROM with the actual Android version you want to build for the device, you can no longer extract the /vendor files which leads to some things not working properly. So it's, "Hey look, I've got a version of Android on this phone you won't" with the qualifier "And everything works." Meaning it is a port. I've been using customer ROMS on all my Android phones for about 12 years or so now started with the Droid A855. Hell I used to flash different firmware on the old flip phones before.
And the whole reason for this thread is what you said. There appears to be no links for version earlier than 19.x, so I asked hopping that maybe someone had one laying around they could share or knew of a mirror or other link. I used to save and host lots and lots of ROMs on my personal server and used to link those repositories in my sig here and many other places.
So thank you for your replies.

Question Custom Rom?

I'm a new user of this phone,and i curious about normally when will this phone gets custom roms?
Depends if a dev is getting the phone normally... For the mi 11 pro/ultra there was a fundraiser.. after phone was bought... It took a few months, also due to source release off Xiaomi. But FUXI is wat more easy i guess.. so i think custom will come here fairly fast

There is already not a single rom for the 12 pro 8 Gen1 while the kernel dates from December 2021.
In my opinion several obstacles, incomplete Kernel ***, the completely new fingerprint part ***, the soc, price.

You mean xiaomi made it extremely hard to make custom roms due to nearly impossible to aosp software to control the hardware ? Or am i getting it way off

Maybe it's the soc, for devices over a year old brands like One Plus or Samsung no AOSP rom too.
Xiaomi 12 (cupid) with 8 gen 1 has stable LOS. Fingerprint and SOC seems to be no problem. I guess, as soon as an good developer wants a custom rom for that phone, it will be a process less then 3 Month to stable. RN I use the 12X and on december a good dev got the phone and now we have a pretty good and stable base!

the two newest releases are for davinci (K20) and not cupid.

It seems to me that it's written big enough not to be wrong and Vanilla has always been without gapps.

Flash gapps. Los is always vanilla. And the latest release for cupid is built this month and it's stable. This is the best possible situation!

I'm so waiting for this too! You cant imagine how disappointed I am with Xiaomi's UI both visually and functionally, not to mention some of its stupid restrictions. Today I've succesfully unlocked BL and flashed xiaomi.eu wich fixes some of the annoyances, but I definitely think a more pure version of android would suite that device better.
