Successfully able to boot Project Treble/AOSP rom

This is not a guide as such but more of direction to other peoples hard work and effort. I am not a developer, just an experimenter!
Main Credits - @MishaalRahman and @phhusson.
For me one of the main selling points of the Mediapad M5 was being Project Treble enabled. Being a big Nexus/Pixel fan I am not particularly fond of EMUI.
So after reading this detailed and clear guide by Mishaal Rahman http://www.xda-developers.com/flash-generic-system-image-project-treble-device/, I was able to successfully install an AOSP Generic System Image by phhusion http://forum.xda-developers.com/project-treble/trebleenabled-device-development/experimental-phh-treble-t3709659
My device - CMR-W09 (10.8" non pro wifi).
I flashed v17 with Gapps and SU and apart from an Android System error upon boot it seems to work ok. I have not had much time to play with it but so far Wifi, Bluetooth, sound, camera, fingerprint sensor, MTP and SD card appear to be working. I had issues with google play not downloading apps but worked after clearing data/cache on google play and google play services. Also have issues with superuser force closing.
For the nervous and unsure, you can easily return to stock Huawei firmware by flashing your devices stock system.img in fastboot.
Obviously bootloader needs to be unlocked see guide - https://forum.xda-developers.com/mediapad-m5/how-to/bootloader-unlock-guide-t3781275 by @Apo11on. You can use Apo11on's root guide to download your firmware to get your stock system.img.
OEM needs to be disabled in developer options.
It is best to factory reset via recovery mode and then boot straight into bootloader to keep FRP unlocked.
Do this at your own risk but please read all the available information and guides on XDA.
pphusion has made other Project Treble roms but I have yet to try them. Hopefully it would be nice if someone could fully develop Lineage for this device.

which rom did you use ? the A/B one or A only ?

It's an A-only device.
I tried AOSP with GAPPS and SU but SuperSU shows the su binary as being occupied through several reboots. Getting the Lineage GSI now and will root with magisk.
Edit:
Blah... Lineage is not an option until we have twrp :/ (at least for me) No way to install GAPPS.
Edit:
SU works with phh's super user available from the play store.

Yes i have the AOSP one now on my AL-09 and it works fine till now. Bugs : home Button not working but fingerprint works, supersu with the phhs one works. Bluetooth sometimes gives an error message. Battery drain is a little bit high. I installed the Huawei camera apk from treble forum and This works also good.
Another Bug is Apps sometimes force closing but Not often.
How is Lineage performing?

A little bit off topic, but how did you unlock the bootloader on the Wifi only version since the website for the code is offline for a few weeks now?
Thanks in advance.
Fantastic to see that Treble works.

On my AL09(ASOP with gapps and su) bluetooth never connects to any of my devices and fc on pairing.
Lineage was a non-starter, since I was unable to get gapps running. I was also getting a vendor mismatch toast. I'm back on the stock .125(C00), no working tether is infinitely more useable than no BT.
It was nice to be able to flash something that didn't brick it and was partially useable.

I understand, Do you think it gets more stable for our device in the future?

I think so, if you look at the github comments there is a huawei phone having the same problem, so as long as a phone is having problems it should get fixed

We would like some screenshots to see if this is real @AndDiSa @rcstar6696 @phhusson @MishaalRahman

Just installed it, attached a few screenshots. Haven't tested it a lot, but it boots.

Wie are Not joking, its real ??

Delete, double post

I will be getting my Mediapad M5 8.4 tomorrow and will be flashing the AOSP treble build straight away. Just a heads up a updated build has just been posted with some Huawei related fixes.

i flash it now, and give feedback tomorrow

I flashed the new one with gapps and su, and for the sht-l09 there is no working bluetooth, so that's as far as I go. It will be nice when the BT is fixed for this device.

Works good with dirty flash, Home Button is working now and also Automatic Brightness, but battery draining is really high and it gets hot.

Have you tried changing the cpu governor? Is it set to something like interactive? I got my Mediapad today but I am waiting for the bootloader unlock code from Huawei.

Might be worth experimenting with. Try conservative or ondemand if they are available. You can always change back if it doesn't make any difference.

GSI images tested with POCO

I've tested 3 GSI images with my phone last weekend, here are the results:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. PixelExperience: https://forum.xda-developers.com/poco-f1/how-to/treble-pixel-experience-9-0-t3839681
or here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...ce-development/9-0-pixelexperience-p-t3833294
- Everything work well
- Feel faster than stock, no mi nonsense
- Wifi and data work fine
- Sound: OK
- Camera: work
- Bug: NO DARK MODE, it went black, and never come back.
- Ugly: the notification bar is not so compatible with curve screen, the clock and battery percentage almost got cut-off
- I might do something wrong, but my bank app said the phone is rooted. So, I have to flash stock back.
2. LineageOS: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...vice-development/9-0-lineage-os-16-0-t3840801
- There is this "privacy protection" error pop-up all the time
- Booted, run smooth
- Wifi and data work fine
- Sound and camera work.
- LineageOS handles the top and bottom curve better than PixelExp, the notification bar look better
- Some setting features were not working and follow with error, but the phone still work normally after error message
- I really hope the Lineage team get it work really soon. :good:
3. HavocOS: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...-device-development/rom-havoc-os-8-1-t3819050
- Bootloop...end
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Flash TWRP
3. With adb tool, flash system image (I've tried to flash PixelExp system image with TWRP, and got to bootloop, so I've changed to flash with adb command)
4. With TWRP flash decrypt
5. With TWRP wipe cache/dalvick
5. With TWRP format data
6. With TWRP flash decrypt again
Is there any way to flash PixelExperience without root?
PS. When I wrote that the camera work: I mean it works you can take a picture with both front and back cameras, but I didn't compare the picture quality at all.

Just tested Aosp Extended and I'll take the template you posted in the OP so it's easier for you.
AEX post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...device-development/rom-aosp-extended-t3821934
- Rebooted itself a few times during the first boot.
- Felt sluggish during the first minutes, but then everything went smooth as butter.
- Wifi and data work fine
- Sound: OK
- Camera: work, but worse quality than stock
- Bug: NO DARK MODE, it went black, and never come back. In order to fix this you need to reflash the image
- Ugly: the notification bar is not so compatible with curve screen, the clock and battery percentage almost got cut-off. However you can almost fix it changing the display size, not a perfect fix but better than stock.
I'll be going to MIUI stock again, even though I hate it

Thanks for your feedback, you will save us a lot of time!
So, so far, you haven't found any GSI that handle completely properly the notch and curves of our screen?

I dont have any cut off on pixel experience after couple of reboots

For me, the time and battery percentage are closer to the edge than yours.
Also, is it root? Can we flash without root?
Thanks.

I, personally don't have any preferred template.
It seems as if the AEX is more or less on par with the PixelEx.
Can you manage to flash it without root?
I can live with a bit ugly notification and some minor bug, but I need to use the bank app. So I want to flash it without root.

I tested RR v6.1 GSI and it works with 2 intolerable bugs.
1, 3.5mm headphone not works. Speaker still works when haedphone plug in.
2, since the notch removed by command 'wm size 1080x2074' (result:here), screenshots will add black frame on the top and bottom, and the original contents(1080x2274) are zipped into 1080x1902, so it looks a liitle strange
RR GSI post: gsi-resurrection-remix-o-6-1-0-t3811299
Flashed arm64 a only 0818 version.
- root(magisk 17.1) and xposed v90 beta3 work.
- Wifi and data(CMCC) work
- Sound: both speakers work
- Camera: work
- Bug: headphone not work , screenshot problem
although i hate MIUI , i have to return to it . i need 3.5mm. looking foward to lineage 15.1 or aosp, etc.

I'm not sure why everyone is so eager to test these GSI builds when they don't actually work 100% as stable.
LOS 15.1 development already in progress and I've been watching it, everything is looking good so far ( including camera, dual 4g/volte). Just give the devs sometime for the release.

I could answer that...easily...maybe
I hate MIUI.
I hate ads full rom.
I have high hope for the project treble, it's a good starting point for generic device rom.
I don't know about your development of the lineageos, this is the first post I saw this information.
Also, it's fun to try something, even not perfect, it's still fun to mess around.

Thanks for the great news. And do you mind telling that you ve been watching the development where exactly?
Thanks once again.

Tried 9.0 roms
1 Treblized os: very smooth and stable VOLTE problem.
2 Pixel experience: Smooth but thermal throttling is broken hearts up quite bit.
3 lineage os: doens't look as good as PE and yeah no VOLTE is any GSI 9 or 8.1
4 Arrow os: The best of all. Fast snappy.
5 Havoc os: Bootloop tried everything.
Tried 8.1 roms:
1 Arrow os: The best I must say. PUBG experience is great the touch is really snappy and accurate for some reason.
2 RR official: Has some weird issue maybe sound don't remember.
3RR unofficial: there were 2 unofficial builds one booted fine and the other got Bootloop. Sound was good in unofficial and boot animation is better.
4 Aquarius os: Simple and good.
5 Dot os: well I've tried this GSI on my OP5T it was amazing but in Poco it doesn't feel as stable as others.
After trying all these GSI roms the best stable snappy and thermal friendly ROM was 8.1 and 9 Arrow os.
Like if I helped you.

Well I'm not sure because I flashed root on every GSI because my device feels uncomplete without it but I'm sure you won't have any problem with no root and yeah in some GSI roms we have option to download with gapps/su/ or vanilla
Edit:
I needed root access because I used this universal notch fix
Go to terminal give root access and type
"wm overscan 0,90,0,0" this completely pushes the notification panel below the notch and fits perfectly!

2 Questions
1. I didn't intend to flash root, but when I flashed the "Encryption disabler" (that every guides suggest to flash, see attached), it became root itself. Can I not flash it?
2. Do I need to fix the notch in ArrowOS, is it not detect and adjust by itself?

1. The encryption disabler is only for MIUI roms because it encrypts your data on first boot but GSI roms don't encrypt your data so you can skip flashing that after flashing GSI
2. Only Pie roms have the ability to adjust to notch currently this feature is not available in 8.1 roms so it'll look weird.

The notch situation is a bit better in Lineage 9.0.
In every ROM, ir unlock doesn't work (as expected), and volte doesn't work (expected?!).
All cameras work well.

I'm a very beginner so to flash without root:
0. Unlock bootloader
1. Flash recovery TWRP
2. In TWRP flash encryption disabler
3. Wipe (normal wipe?)
4. Reboot to recovery (Do I need this step?)
5. Flash GSI
6. Then reboot to system
Am I right?
Thanks for your answer.
PS.
If I flash the GSI with adb fastboot, do I need to flash the encryption disabler?
(In fastboot, I do the "fastboot flash system GSI.img")

One-time process:
1. UL bootloader.
2. Flash twrp.
3. Format user data for twrp dycript then reboot to recovery again without booting to os.
4. Flash encryption disabler boot once to os.
After this process you don't have to flash the encryption file again and again because it modifies your vendor partition for treble enable. You'll have to flash this file again after flashing any MIUI rom. If you need root in GSI you can flash this file or you can skip.

[DISCONTINUED] LineageOS 17.1

Originally, this was thread was centered on the LineageOS 17 GSI by AndyYan, however, CodeF86 has so very generously made a working GSI for the Moto G6 which you can try out now!
Unlike AndyYan's generic GSI, for this you do NOT need to flash johnaltg1's LineageOS 16 image (if you do, this GSI will NOT boot). It is recommended you use stock Pie firmware. Oreo firmware has not been tested and may result in bugs.
​Download here—Compiled Feb 22nd, w/ working LTE!
See CodyF86's thread post
Some notes:
Unlike the generic GSI, calling works.
Also unlike the GSI, the colors don't invert randomly.
Magisk DOES NOT work at the moment, neither phhuson's nor regular Magisk. Flashing it will cause a bootloop.
Bluetooth audio has been reported to not work
As with many Android 10 GSIs/ROMs, Chrome freezes or crashes because GApps packages currently are missing the new Trichrome WebView implementation which replaces Chrome as the default WebView. This being worked on (see OpenGApps wiki and issue #773 on their GitHub.) For now, use another browser (like LineageOS's default browser) if you install GApps. —As soon as Trichrome is added onto the ARM package just as it has for ARM64, Chrome should be stable.
For now, that's all I can think of. However, if you notice any other bugs or caveats, let me know so I can add it to the list.
This is a GSI based on phhuson's prereleased GSI work and also based on the prereleased LineageOS 17. This is a pre-release so please be careful and don't use this as a daily driver. Things may break randomly, whoops, so please be patient! If you see any bugs, report them here.
Extremely huge shoutout to CodyF86 for this GSI!
The developer of this ROM has moved on to another phone and the community now has a full fledged 64-bit ROM which has much better support for things.

Your screen may change colors and look weird, when this happens, go to Settings > Display > LiveDisplay> Color mode and change it to the value under the value selected on the menu and then back to the original one and that should fix it
If you flash GApps before first boot, follow AndyYan's suggestions as the Setup Wizard is broken for some reason on most GApps packages.
Calling while not on WiFi is broken for now.

Just to reiterate, you are stipulating that this pre-release build doesn't permit me to make an outgoing phone call (nor possibly receive any) unless connected to a WiFi network? Please pardon my not-so-subtle-sarcasm ... but, why would anyone release this with a bug (or limitation) which inhibits the core functionality of the device? I could see a million other issues being permissible but not being able to make normal phone calls (or possibly even receive them) doesn't warrant any kind of release for testing. That being said, I'd be happy to help if possible and eagerly await a usable version of Android 10 to put on my Moto G6 which I only got a month ago (happily unlocked at a great price on Amazon). However, it is (currently) my main phone for making calls.

It is pre-release so not all the bugs are ironed out, I should have added that this should not be used on your daily driver. But yes, it's dumb to use a phone that can't make calls without WiFi. Just as a note, you can make and receive calls however if you're not using WiFi, the caller can't hear you. I have filed a bug upstream with phhusson as this affects every GSI built using his work (Pixel Experience, Lineage and AOSP which I've tested). I hope this gets fixed soon so stay tuned to that GitHub issue

Bluetooth is horribly broken for now, it causes the app playing audio to lag and crash so please stay away from it.
Chrome is wonky at the moment. It'll work and then all of a sudden cause the whole OS to lag and crash or become unresponsive. This is possibly an upstream GApps issue.

Ok, so I installed and flashed Lineage 16 first. Then I flashed Lineage 17 GSI in system img, but then when I did that I go into twrp and it said an os was not installed and wouldn't boot. But if I just flash Lineage 16 it would boot. Am I doing something wrong?

First off, are you unzipping the file? The standalone uncompressed file is unflashable. It needs to be decompressed from it's .gz (or whatever it was compressed to) form. If you have, have you tried using fastboot flash system <lineage file name> from a PC?

Just wanted to jump in here and say I'm seeing same bug on xt1925-6 with callers not able to hear me on any 10 gsi's and speakerphone does not work at all. Phh aosp 10 build 209 with stock pie 55-37-7-2 boot vendor boots fine, other gsi's will only boot using the Ali lineage full ROM boot- vendor but call audio is broken as well. Thanks for submitting the bug report, hopefully it will get fixed in future builds.

Hello friends,
It's been a while since i've posted on XDA. I was the person who originally rooted the g6 play. I managed to build a GSI image of 17.1 with the latest code as of today if anyone is interested I can upload it to gdrive or something, didn't feel like making a new thread.
It boots, mobile calls work, dark mode works (which is amazing), it all seems to work.
Getting it to compile was just short of a miracle...lol.
Only bad thing is I cannot get it to boot with any version of magisk even the version specifically for phh / Android 10, but with just the stock kernel with the ,verify removed it boots fine.

GSI-Lineage-17.1-2-16-2020-system.img
It seems it only connects at 3g although it lists a different apn server on lineage, I may be able to fix that, and I couldnt get the sd card to format as anything but adaptive storage, but everything works more or less. going to recompile in a week its still pretty early in development stage of lineage.

Huge thanks for this GSI!!! I've been using it and it works flawlessly, I have also observed that only 3G works for now but regardless of that, everything works fine.
Again, I can't reiterate enough how thankful I am with you for this GSI!

May have a fix for LTE compiling it now, using the stock apn file with the adjusted mcc mnc numbers.
If I could get root I could get it for sure, but I can't get it to boot with a magisk flashed kernel, even the android 10 special version of magisk.

I got LTE but now mobile network stays disconnected although there is an LTE connection. It's an apn issue will work on it. if I get it working will make a thread...not sure why magisk won't work with my builds / kernel though yet.
https://github.com/codyf86

I've noticed that restarting always restarts to the bootloader. I don't know if it's just me but that's weird

Could you provide a link to the kernel source used in the rom?

It's on his GitHub

The kernel is actually just the stock kernel from the latest firmware with the ',verity' flag hexedited out to disable encryption. (You also need to change the fstab that is in all the guides ever made including my original one), but I'm working on building the kernel and making it work...but I got LTE to woooooork with some changes to the stock apn file lineage provides ! lol.
Only thing now is that it thinks my external sd card is corrupted and wont format right unless i set it to adaptive storage, so make a backup of your external sd card for now. Going to try using TWRP to format it with a couple different file systems.
Here she is boys.
Lineage-17.1-02.22.20-treble-arm-system
Still working on getting it to boost with magisk not sure why it won't when it was fine in Pie.
Still playing with the apn file the apn its using says sprint ehrpd but not sure what makes it pick which apns to show on the screen, but the apn is set to x.boost.ispsn which makes LTE work. I'll clean it up soon.
(All of this is assuming you're on Boost / Sprint)

ROM ❯ PIXEL 5 ❯ OFFICIAL ❯ ProtonAOSP 11

ProtonAOSP
Android 11 ROM​
ProtonAOSP is a minimal Android fork (custom ROM) focused on UI/UX and performance, with a touch of privacy.
Usage with my Proton Kernel is recommended to get the most out of your phone. The ROM does not include Proton Kernel, so you will need to flash it yourself. The ROM will still work with other kernels, but you will not get the benefits of Proton Kernel.
Screenshots
Screenshots of the latest version
Installation
This ROM is currently distributed as factory images, similar to stock. Flash it the same way you would flash stock factory images. Don't forget to wipe all data using "fastboot -w" before booting the ROM.
Firmware is included, so there is no specific requirement for which version of the stock ROM you are coming from.
You can also use the quick & easy web installer, which allows you to install and update the ROM from any computer or phone without using the command line. The installer works entirely within your web browser and completes in as little as 4 minutes, depending on the speed of your internet connection. Consider using the web installer instead of installing manually.

Something else worth noting: SafetyNet is currently passing (without Magisk) using some tricks built into the ROM, unlike stock with an unlocked bootloader.

Ooooo nice

This is very interesting

Hey kdragon,
First time Pixel owner having been with OnePlus for the last 3.5 years and HTC prior to that. Only a short learning curve to install a rom through fastboot but up and running and just getting setup. Thanks for your work!

I was able to set up my main card on gpay with root and magisk hide (though not using magisk hide props). I've not been out today so haven't tested if it works but given that the card registered okay I would say yes.

A hotfix update has just been released to fix issues with a botched SafetyNet fix that caused most apps using HTTP outside of a browser to break, including Google Translate, SMS/MMS, and many others. I've figured out a new way to fix SafetyNet that doesn't come with those pitfalls, so SafetyNet is still passing out-of-the-box and apps will no longer break.
Re-download v11.2.0 from GitHub for the fixes. I've decided to re-upload it rather than bumping the version because the previous SafetyNet fix was very broken.

Hello, I've recently got back into android after being a long time iPhone user, How exactly am I able to flash this rom? Sorry in advance, haven't been in the rom scene in a long time

You'll need to unlock your bootloader first and then follow any guide online to flash Pixel factory images. This ROM currently works exactly the same way with regards to flashing: unzip and run flash-all.sh or flash-all.bat depending on OS.

Does tethering hardware acceleration and VoLTE work?

Thank you I finally got it up and running, Just wondering how exactly do install magisk manager to gain root?

Tethering works, and I can see log messages about successful hardware acceleration setup.
VoLTE should work with all carriers supported on stock — it's Wi-Fi calling that's finnicky, and I converted the carrier configs from stock for use in AOSP — but your mileage may vary. It works for me on a T-Mobile US MVNO, as does Wi-Fi calling.

In short:
Install Magisk Manager Canary from GitHub
Extract the boot.img file from the image-...zip file inside the ROM's factory images ZIP
Push it to the phone
Patch it with Magisk Manager
Pull the file to your computer
Reboot to bootloader
fastrboot flash boot magisk_patched.img

Thank you very much for the first rom for the p5.
I have 2 questions about this.
At first, exists their some screenshots which shows the ui or the difference to the stock p5 ui ?
The second question is more important for me.
Can I dirty flash the rom on my p5, so I can use the data which is currently installed. Or must I wipe the phone and start from scratch?
Best regards,

You must wipe if you are coming from another ROM. Future updates to this ROM will not require subsequent wipes.
Screenshots are available on the Telegram channel, here is a public link that doesn't require login: https://t.me/proton_p5_builds/6

Just to clarify if anyone is confused: this is an Android 11 ROM, not Android 10. XDA DevDB has no option for 11 so I had to put 10. I've just edited the DevDB info out of the post now and added 11 to the header so there should be no more confusion.

Does hotspot work without issue? And are you swap the navigation back button and recent button? To how it is with most Samsung phones

Hotspot works for both Wi-Fi (sharing) and cellular data.
The 3-button navigation bar has not been changed from AOSP.

about fastbootd

long story short im trying to flash a GSI on my infinix zero 8. It has a dynamic super partition. Ive heard people mention that you need to boot fastboot to get into fastbootd mode, which works. but it doesnt let me do anything in fastbootd. my pc doesnt recognise my phone in fastbootd and only in fastbootd mode. how could i go about solving this?

Are your drivers installed?

fastbootd is the counterpart - located on Android device - of fastboot tool installed on computer. A fastbootd mode doesn't exist: only fastboot mode ( AKA bootloader or download ).

as your using a mediatek phone, try using sp flash tool and format the preloader and reinstall that
It's a litte risky, so be careful. I've had the same issue on my mt6795 and restoring the preloader fixed it.

yes i sucessfully installed many GSIs on it, such as bless, caos, crrom, dot os, havoc, lineage and a few others idk about android 11 but im running resurrection remix 8.6.4 rn, there are a few problems with gsis ive noticed, they cant be rooted by just patching magisk on the boot.img, also on some GSIs even on that RR build ADB isnt working and worst of all, i have no clue why but i cant use wired headphones with these GSIs, the audio just wont go through the cable.
i mean you can experiment with different roms. but pls let me know if youre experiencing the same problem where you cant use wired headphones, thats a huge bummer for me as i just bought a new pair of earphones to use with this phone just to find out i cant use them xd

not able to root through magisk is a big problem for me, as I use many bank apps...

yes, i havent seen any problems with the rest of these sensors and stuff, and even the bank apps work unlike back in the days where if you had a custom rom you couldnt use mobile-id. using wireless internet on gsi works even better than stock rom (xos), atleast for me, cause in xos it didnt choose the correct settings for setting up a 4g connection by default, but it worked perfectly on GSI, just pop in a sim card and off you go, at least thats how my experience was with it.
