Hi guys.
I'm just wondering whether all GSI ROMs can run on Android 8.0 or if there are GSI's that run only on Android 8.1 and up.
As one who lives in an area where the internet speed is so fast ,
and where bandwidth is a thing,
I would really appreciate it if someone would tell me whether some GSI ROMs work only with higher Android versions.
Currently I'm using Lenovo S5 with Android 8.0. It has ZUI 3.7 which is pretty nice that I have to resort to custom ROMs and my only hope is GSI's since there has been a low number of developers for this phone and I'm not one.
Hope this question gets answers. :fingers-crossed:

Hello everyone my name is Ali and I am new to XDA. Hope this forum will help me to increase my Android knowledge.
My question is simple. Should I wait Android 8 to root my S7 or should I root my S7 now? Thanks in advance.
Hi. I am also new. In my opinion, rooting now or rooting later will depend on what you want to achieve. I rooted very recently coz I want to gain more control to my phone and I want to try the new roms available here. If you root later, then there is a possibility that the new rom (assuming that you would like to install a custom rom) will have some bugs. So it will take a couple of updates to stabilize it.
It's really your preference but Android P is much different than 7.0/7.1. It has support for multi-screen devices as well as foldable displays. Also it will have hidden control of signal strength show controlled by the carrier. Developers will eventually get in there but if you want to enjoy root I say root now. There's loads of stable stuff for 7.0, even Xposed is operational on 7.0 and 7.1.
I'm using stock S7 rom. (exynos) But i would like to root and put Lineage OS. Because i live pure android. Is Lineage OS 14.1 stable for daily use?

No, it has bugs. Only stock roms are good are good.
Guys, I am new to this forum. My Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 (7 inch) T231 is running on very old Android KitKat version 4.4.2. This is the last official OS update received. Many apps are not supported on this old android.
Please provide a stable Lineage OS version, ROM file link and whole process to install.
I will be ok with installing Lineage OS version 13 and above (i.e. Marshmallow 6 and above), which ever is most stable.
Thank you in advance.

Since you are new, a few words...
People may understand your request different, like one understands "is there some out there who can help me and how can I help..." and others may understand "give me that ROM, you are there to provide me stuff..." So better be slightly "overpolite".
Developers and development teams just share their work on XDA and improve it based on the feedback the users or other developers give them. We can be happy, that XDA is a big development hub and have to be very respectful. :good:
The Tab 4 is a very old device, in my case I just use it as a small power bank. Display resolution, RAM, system speed... however, developing may be suspended and you cannot expect newer custom ROM releases.
I will explain quickly because Galaxy tab 4 7.0 variants don't get support.
8.0 and 10.1 models have SD400 (msm8226) SoC, 7.0 has a Marvell for the wifi variant and an Exynos for 3G and LTE variants. And it's easier to work on qcom-powered devices
I'm gonna go ahead an do what nobody else here would and answer your question. And it indeed works because I did it just last night. Just follow the link below

Hello I am just a beginner on custom roms. I haven’t flashed any. I want a stable Rom for my tablet Sm T350 Wifi only samsung tab. Please help me find a good ROM wihout any big bugs. My tablet is on Android 7.1.1 & samsung experience version 8.5. Please help me
I want a stock one like pixel experience or linege os. Also it should be Android 9 pie or higher.
Have Fun With This One!! https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...os-17-1-for-galaxy-tab-a-8-0-sm-t350.4162573/
Only Issue Is Fuzzy Home Screen Text But Enjoy!!
Has Somebody relevant experiences at Pixel 4a with both A10 & A11?
I'd like to have a one time set phone what is rooted and will not be updated for the nearly future, so based one of the final stock version of A10 or A11.
I have a preconception that newer firmwares with the new services requires more system resource.
But maybe there is not too much demand differences between A10 and A11.
After the daily good performance the secondary demand is rootability. Maybe with Magisk that's easy at both Android version...
What do You think or suggest? Thanks!
If you want to root and limit resource usage you might be better off with something like LineageOS.
Hi, I have a LG X Power device model K220, its Stock ROM is Android 6.0.1 and since some important Apps for me no longer work for that version, I have been looking everywhere for modified ROMS from at least Android 8 or 9 onwards, but I do not get anything, I already checked the compatible devices for Lineage, Resurrection RMX, among others and nothing, if anyone has the knowledge of any modified ROM for LG K220 that is Android 8 or 9 onwards it would be of great help to me
