[ HOW TO FLASH AOSP 8.1 - Phh-Treble ] _ [ ON TECLAST TAB M20_4G (M3K1) ] _MT6797D_

*[Requirements: Your device MUST be Project Treble compatible (M20 supports Treble Project,A only x64)
Your device MUST have an unlockable bootloader
Your device LAUNCHED with Android 8.0 +(was made Project Treble compatible by the manufacturer)
Your device is free of any heavy modifications such as the Xposed Framework, SuperSU, or Magisk(You can re-install after)]
__First than all,we need the right drivers on pc... Turn OFF any antivirus...

I'm not very sure but normally yes...
I have try only in M3K1 but Is the same device generally (MT6797D 64 gb Internal 4gb ram android 8 + playstore)
better try via fastboot
the decision is yours

aosp 8.1 was more stable,but after the latest update (build v112) aosp 9 works very well
we are expecting and new update of aosp 9 these days....So,if you want to install it is better to wait for the newest build I think ...

....this depends on what custom rom you are talking about & your device model - stock rom
some advantages of aosp phh 8.1 (or 9) from teclast M20_4G stock rom
stock rom on M20_4G is android oreo 8 - without updates & support anymore
this aosp phh is oreo 8.1 (or newer-latest android pie9)
security : stock firmware has sec patch 2018 - this 8.1 (or pie9) gets monthly updates (bug fixes + sec patch 2019)
features : this aosp phh is pure stock android
& more like as : root access,better performance,battery management etc...

[GUIDE] TREBLE on Moto Z All variants for dummies [GSI][TWRP][ROOT][PLAY SERVICES]

Hi everyone!
I present to you the practical and simple guide special for dummies that will allow you to try and use the wonders of google treble project in our beloved Moto Z [Griffin has no official support but...] thanks to the great work of the highly recognized developer @erfanoabdi we can enjoy project treble in an easy way [*could apply user restrictions] in our griffin.
*First of all, this guide is designed for those who are curious and have a high degree of autonomy when they try to solve low level or common problems of the Android system. You dont need to be a developer but you must have experience in using and applying the following words: unlocked bootloader, ADB and Fastboot basic commands, Lineage OS, TWRP, Magisk , Back to Stock, Frustration, No "daily driver user" or maybe according to your needs, contribute to general knowledge, dont demand from me more than here is already here because I'm not a developer, I'm just a curious user who likes to try new things in his griffin and I have already given you more than 168 hours of trial and error with the only goal of making the process easier and more fun to you.
Now let's go to what interests us, do you have your bootloader unlocked?
If the answer is no, go here and do it or you can not continue
First we start with the files that we need to download:
Latest Lineage OS from here:
https://download.lineageos.org/griffin
[Thanks to Erfanoabdi]GSI image of your favorite flavor from here:
https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/gsi/
Only type A not AB just A like ColorOS-Aonly-9-20190605-ErfanGSI.img.7z not ColorOS-AB-9-20190605-ErfanGSI.img.7z and decompress the .7z file to get the IMG file inside.
To decompress the .7z file

https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z/development/stock-moto-z-8-0-firmware-t3805226
Thanks to @thuybang for the post and @erfanoabdi again for the needed files.
Official TWRP from here:
https://dl.twrp.me/griffin/twrp-3.3.1-0-griffin.img.html
Latest Stable Magisk from here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
Thanks to @topjohnwu
Magisk module "Device Spoofing Tool" from here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/qa-want-to-install-modules-magisk-v13-3-t3800435
Thanks to @Dreamer(3MF)
Device ID apk from here:
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=673956719939830832
Latest Android System WebView APK from here:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl.../android-system-webview-76-0-3809-36-release/
Finally put this on favorites because you will need it for the final touch:
https://www.google.com/android/uncertified/
Only if you have all those files downloaded and placed in your PC in the folder that you want you can continue.
Now the easy way step by step if you are on Official Stock ROM:
1 - Reboot to Bootloader and flash twrp-oemasvendor-2.img you can use ADB and fastboot of the .rar adb-fastboot-latest.rar that you ¿downloaded? from the back to stock link
Use
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.3.1-0-griffin.img.img
Hard-reboot to bootloader again, down two steps and select reboot to recovery.
2 - Already in TWRP do this:
2.1 - Wipe Data - if it gives you error go reboot and select reboot recovery and again wipe data it should have been erased without errors, back and
2.2 - Manually wipe caches, system, vendor, data, internal storage
2.3 - Do "Swipe to Factory Reset" probably not necessary but for me it works.
3 - Now connect your Griffin and copy the Lineage OS ROM downloaded [obviously still inside of TWRP]
3.1 Go to Install and select the copied Lineage ROM and then install
3.2 Finished the installation restart and skip all startup, now in the launcher screen shutdown your griffin
4 - Power on your griffin again in bootloader, two steps down and select reboot recovery again.
4.1 - Now in TWRP copy the GSI type A image that you downloaded [MIUI, ColorOS, OneUI, Pixel, Flyme OS, etc)
4.2 - Allready copied go to Install and select "Install Image"
4.3 - Now you see the .IMG file, select and then flash as "System" and go let finish, clear cache and restart to System.
5 - Be very patient, you will see the warning image for having your bootloader unlocked for 5 to 10 seconds [may vary] then you will see the start animation according to the GSI image that you will select before, again be very patient it can take 3 to 15 minutes to your griffin to start completely (MIUI 3-5 minutes, Pixel 3-5 minutes, OneUI 5-10 minutes, Flyme 15 to 20 minutes in my experience) If you see that the start animation reduces its brightness after a few minutes, it means that we are on the right track wait a little longer.
5.1 - Finally we start system we enter directly without previous configurations (configure wifi, google account, PIN, etc) just start screen now go to step 6, if not then go here:
If everything goes to hell [100% sure to happen at least once] Stock ROM and adb-fastboot-latest.rar from here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z/development/stock-moto-z-8-0-firmware-t3805226
Thanks to @thuybang for the post and @erfanoabdi again for the needed files.
And start again
6 - Ok you are one of those who managed to install and start their GSI image and you dont have google services enabled and your griffin is not certified you probably have app errors that crash infinitely [if they are 1 or 3 - example the camera] manage to go to app administration in the ROM and cancel auto-start of that apps, instead if you have so many apps errors that dont let you move anything in the interface you need to go to TWRP and clean davlink cache and cache and reboot.
That's why this step is important
Code:
4.3 - Now you see the .IMG file, select and then flash as "System" and go let finish, [B][COLOR="Red"]clear cache and restart to System
[/COLOR][/B].
7 - Now Root your griffin with Magisk, you know how otherwise I dont know how you got here
8 - Already in system, install the "Device Spoofing Tool" magisk module and reboot to activate the module.
9 - Again already in system, install Device ID APK
9.1 - Open Device ID app and find your device’s GSF (Google Service Framework) Device-ID
9.2 In your PC go HERE and use your GSF to register and certify your griffin
10 - Now install Android System WebView APK
10.1 - Go to TWRP again and clean cache one more time and reboot to system
11 - Configure your google account and be happy
11.1 - Camera its a common fail, use Gcam or Snapdragon Camera instead of GSI stock camera app
12 - Enjoy your griffin :highfive:
Well that's all from me and remember if something goes wrong or it does not work you can always go here:

Screenshots (sorry just from MIUI with my emotion I forgot to save from the other GSI that I proble) I feel comfortable with MIUI and now it is my ROM-GSI of daily use in my griffin (I really love taking screenshot with my three fingers )

Thanks for guide, very cool
Official TWRP is updated with treble support BTW

Nice ,thanx to your contributions.

whats the waiting time for the moto image? ive installed the moto image, and still waiting for the device to bootup. its been about 15 mins
---------- Post added at 07:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:25 PM ----------
after installing the image, im stuck on this (device will boot in 5 seconds screen) Can i boot back into recovery, and re install the image? its been more than 30 mins on this screen

Pixel image is the only one I managed to boot, but couldn't get gsf id from it, and it constantly force closed (cache was cleaned) and couldn't make it work at all. Moto image just gives black screen, all other images couldn't even be installed (either error in twrp or something else.) I'll try miui image one of these days, but would really like to try to make pixel image work, but without gsf id it's impossible
EDIT: Changed twrp to twrp-oemasvendor-2.img version, and managed to boot miui (but after magisk it bootlooped) and to start booting moto GSI images (moto bootloops), and just tried to boot pixel images, will see later... but I think that the problem was that twrp uses cache as vendor partition, and deleting cache, well, deletes vendor partition (will need clarification from @erfanoabdi on this)...

Can we flash the GSI over other Custom ROMs like the OMNI instead of Lineage...?

Nop, Omni does not have the type of partition needed

After following this guide, I am able to boot into system (only with Pixel or MIUI GSI), but SIM is not getting detected. Frequent app crashes are also observed. Cache and dalvik are being cleared before booting...
Do I still need to follow this How to make GSI...?
But LOS 16 seems to flash vendor image, isn't it...?
What am I missing...?
By the way, clearing vendor partition always gives me an error...

Go to TWRP and make full wipe factory, that fix the problem

I've been hunting down and trying out some different gsi's. With the latest twrp + los16 installed I've had success with some from this list
https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Generic-System-Image-(GSI)-list
AOSP 10 with gapps included
Msm xtended gapps included
Blissrom + gapps
Aosip + gapps
EvolutionX gapps included
DU13 + gapps (not on list but works)
If installing gsi's without gapps included, let it boot first then reboot TWRP and install gapps + magisk if you want root.

Available kernel ?

I cannot retrieve the GSF id, how can I fix this?

Flashed OneUI GSI but it's stuck on the boot logo

So on my Moto Z running LineageOS 17, I can't launch Netflix on it. Will Treble-ing my Moto Z fix that problem?

This also works on moto z force?

!DISCLAIMER!
Most people I know (including myself) who used my Guides and steps, did that with success many times. If you don't follow exactly the steps or you do a mistake during the process, I do not take any responsibility for any unexpected results or damage that may happen. However I am here to help if something goes wrong, just ask in the thread.​
AMD RYZEN/INTEL FASTBOOT FIX
Some AMD Ryzen or Intel Systems may have problems to recognize your device in fastboot. Try the following ways:
1. Install Fastboot Drivers (Extract the folder for windows 10) at Device Manager while your device is connected in Fastboot mode.
2. Download this .bat file (unzip it) or manually create a .bat file with these lines below, and run it as an administrator, then reboot:
Code:
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\usbflags\18D1D00D0100" /v "osvc" /t REG_BINARY /d "0000" /f
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\usbflags\18D1D00D0100" /v "SkipContainerIdQuery" /t REG_BINARY /d "01000000" /f
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\usbflags\18D1D00D0100" /v "SkipBOSDescriptorQuery" /t REG_BINARY /d "01000000" /f
3. Enable USB Debugging at device (Settings > Additional settings > Developer options > USB Debugging) and give authorization after connecting it to PC.
4. Use USB Hub.
5. Use USB Type-A 2.0.
6. Install AMD Ryzen Chipset Drivers or Intel Chipset Drivers.
Check the steps an another user did to make it work here.
If this doesn't help, unfortunately you have to use Intel System which is more likely to work.
UNLOCK BOOTLOADER
Note: Some AMD Ryzen Systems may have problems to recognize your device in fastboot. [Read the AMD Fastboot Fix Guide above]
Please keep in mind by Unlocking Bootloader the device will reset and all your data will be lost. Make a backup of your data first to PC or to USB.
1. Create a Mi account on Xiaomi’s website.
2. Add a phone number to your Mi account.
3. Insert a SIM into your phone (If you haven't added already). [Do not insert 2 SIM, only 1 until the Bootloader is unlocked. If you have 2 SIM into your phone, remove 1 and reboot.]
4. Enable developer options in Settings > About Phone by repeatedly tapping (7 times) on MIUI Version.
5. Link the device to your Mi account in Settings > Additional settings > Developer options > Mi Unlock status. Also enable USB Debugging.
6. Download the Mi Unlock app (Windows is required to run the app).
7. Run the Mi Unlock app and follow the instructions provided by the app.
8. Reboot your device into Fastboot mode. For that simply turn off your device, press the Power Button + Volume Down (–) button at the same time. Then connect the device to the Windows PC/laptop via a micro USB cable.
9. After device and Mi account are successfully verified, the Bootloader should be Unlocked and your device will restart by itself.
INSTALL CUSTOM RECOVERY
Fastboot Method (No Custom Recovery currently installed)
Note: Some AMD Ryzen Systems may have problems to recognize your device in fastboot. [Read the AMD Fastboot Fix Guide above]
1. Make sure your Bootloader is Unlocked.
2. Enable developer options in Settings > About Phone by repeatedly tapping (7 times) on MIUI Version.
3. Enable USB Debugging in Settings > Additional settings > Developer options > USB Debugging.
4. Download a custom recovery of your choice and copy the .img to your Internal Storage or to SDCard. [You can find a recovery of your choice in my Collection]
5. Download the portable Minimal ADB and Fastboot and run cmd.exe
6. Reboot to Fastboot mode by pressing Power Button + Volume Down (–) and keep holding both buttons until the word “FASTBOOT” appears on the screen, then release.
7. Once the device is in Fastboot mode, connect your device to PC and verify you can find it by typying in cmd: fastboot devices.
8. Boot into Recovery by typing in cmd: fastboot boot <recovery_filename>.img (The file may not be named identically to what stands in this command, so adjust accordingly and write the full path of it, check the example below).
This command will not flash permantly the recovery, it will just temporary boot into it and afterwards you will flash permantly the twrp.img you copied into your Internal Storage or SDcard in recovery partition.
For example:
Code:
fastboot boot C:\Users\Retrial\Desktop\twrp-beryllium-v3.7.0-A12-V2.img
9. Now into TWRP, press Install > Install Image > Locate & Select the twrp.img you previously downloaded and copied from PC into your Internal Storage or to your SDcard > Choose Recovery and Flash!
10. Go back into Home page of TWRP and press Reboot to Recovery or manually by holding Power Button + Volume Up (+) until you boot to Recovery.
11. Done! You now have a new Custom Recovery installed.
Recovery Method (Custom Recovery already installed or booted)
1. Download a custom recovery of your choice. [You can find a recovery of your choice in my Collection]
2. Reboot to Recovery by holding Power Button + Volume Up (+).
3. Press Install > Install Image.
4. Locate the recovery.img you recently downloaded.
5. Select it and choose the option Recovery and Flash.
6. Go back and Reboot to Recovery.
7. Done! Your new recovery should be installed.
CLEAN INSTALL CUSTOM ROM
Note: If you have issues after flash check possible solutions here:
Check integrity of all downloads (compare checksums), do the downloads again.
Make sure you Wiped everything and Formated Data (format data not just wipe) except external SDCard and USB OTG.
Flash only the ROM (without GApps and Magisk) and check if the problem persists. If yes, flash another ROM.
Try other GApps package.
If nothing helps, go back to stock and start from scratch.
Note: You can also Flash Custom ROM using ADB sideload Method.
What is System_EXT? Check out here.
You can also do the same steps below to install Stock MIUI Recovery ROM.
1. Backup all your data to PC or to external SDCard. [All your data into Internal Storage will be lost on step 7 while Formating Data or Wiping Internal Storage]
2. Unlock Bootloader. [Read the Unlock Bootloader Guide above]
3. Download: [You can find everything in my Collection]
Custom Recovery of your choice. [Recommened to use Unofficial TWRP by REIGNZ3 (A12_System_Ext) for A12L+ ROMs]
Custom ROM of your choice.
GApps (be sure you have selected Platform: ARMx64 and the proper Android version of the ROM you are going to flash) if the ROM you are going to flash does not include. [Optional]
Magisk Root. [Optional]
Disable Force Encryption or Encryption. [Optional] (Read DFE & Encryption Guide above)
4. Move all these files in one folder to your PC or to External SDCard if you have one.
5. Install Custom Recovery. [Read the Install Custom Recovery Guide above]
6. Reboot to Recovery Power Button + Volume Up (+)
7. Installation:
Steps without external SDCard:
Select Wipe > Advanced Wipe
Select Dalvik / ART Cache, System, System_Ext, Data, Internal Storage, Vendor, Cache and then Swipe to Wipe. [All your data into Internal Storage will be lost]
Go back > Press Reboot > Reboot to Recovery again. [That step needed for the next step of formating the data because TWRP by REIGNZ have issue]
Go back and select Wipe > Format Data > type yes [All your data into Internal Storage will be lost]
Connect your device to PC while you are on TWRP and transfer into Internal Storage, the ROM, GApps etc. and the files you want to flash.
Flash ROM > GApps [Optional]
[Optional] Mount Vendor and Flash DFE [Optional - Not Recommended] or Encryption [Optional] (Read DFE & Encryption Guide above)
Reboot Enjoy!
[Optional] If you want to root, reboot once again to TWRP Recovery and flash Magisk then reboot to system and enjoy!
Steps with external SDCard:
go to Advanced > File Manager > External_SD and delete all folders in ur ext sd card (For example you should delete: Android, .android_secure, LOST.DIR, DCIM, etc) except your personal files/folders and the folder with your custom ROM/Gapps/Magisk/DFE or Encryption you want to flash.
Each app on your phone with the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission may create files or folders in ur sdcard. Most of these folders have once been created by one of these apps and many of them may be deleted with a few exceptions (e.g. Android, .data, .android_secure, these contain important system or app data like a game's downloaded content):
.android_secure: apps installed and then moved to sdcard
Android: app data/cache
data: app data
.estrongs: ES file manager
LOST.DIR: sort of trash folder (collects recovered files after phone crashes)
DCIM: phone gallery's photos and previews
OTA-update: Over The Air update service
ppy_cross: an unknown third-party app's data.
So I recommend to delete them so you can put your phone/sdcard in a clean state and is guaranteed to be able to re-create these folders.
Select Advanced Wipe
Select Dalvik / ART Cache, System, System_Ext, Data, Internal Storage, Vendor, Cache and then Swipe to Wipe. [All your data into Internal Storage will be lost]
Go back > Press Reboot > Reboot to Recovery again. [That step needed for the next step of formating the data because TWRP by REIGNZ have issue]
Go back and select Wipe > Format Data > type yes [All your data into Internal Storage will be lost]
Flash ROM > GApps [Optional]
[Optional] Mount Vendor and Flash DFE [Optional - Not Recommended] or Encryption [Optional] (Read DFE & Encryption Guide above)
Reboot Enjoy!
[Optional] If you want to root, reboot once again to TWRP Recovery and flash Magisk then reboot to system and enjoy!
DIRTY INSTALL YOUR CUSTOM ROM
Note: Before you start flashing, keep in mind the ROM you dirty flashing MUST be the same with the one you have already installed.
1. Make a full nandroid backup, just in case something goes wrong. You can use TWRP to do that. (TWRP > Backup > Select everything) [Optional]
2. Remove all Magisk modules. [Optional]
3. Reboot to TWRP and Wipe Dalvik / ART Cache, System, System_Ext, Vendor, Cache.
4. Flash the ROM > GApps [Optional] > Magisk [Optional]
5. [Optional] Mount Vendor and Flash DFE [Optional - Not Recommended] or Encryption [Optional] (Read DFE & Encryption Guide above)
6. Reboot and Enjoy!
I've skipped some explanations, because if you are going to dirty flash, you already know for example how to boot to TWRP.
CLEAN INSTALL OFFICIAL STOCK MIUI ROM & RELOCK BOOTLOADER
Note: Some AMD Ryzen or Intel Systems may have problems to recognize your device in fastboot. [Read the AMD Ryzen/Intel Fastboot Fix Guide above]

Delete locksettings.db
This way, you will not have any lock method set, but added fingerprints will remain.
FIX FOR STUCK ON OREO FIRMWARE (SOFTBRICKED)
FIX (Read Carefully)
MAGISK ROOT
The easiest way to root your device is via Magisk, it should work in all ROMs, Stock and Customs.
Install Magisk:
1. Install latest TWRP Recovery. [Read the Install Custom Recovery Guide above]​2. Download the Magisk [You can find it in my Collection]​3. Reboot to TWRP Recovery by pressing Power Button + Volume Up (+) and flash it.​4. Reboot and check whether the Magisk app is installed. If it isn’t installed automatically, manually install the APK. [You can find it in my Collection]​Note#1: From Official TWRP Recovery 3.5.1 and onwards (and other recoveries based on that), Magisk.apk can be flashed as apk without the need of rename it to .zip. So you can simply flash the Magisk.apk in TWRP.​Manually Creation of Flashable Zip:​Download the latest Magisk APK and rename the Magisk.apk → Magisk.zip.​​Note#2: If your bank apps detect root, follow this Guide.​
Uninstall Magisk:
Flash the Uninstall.zip in TWRP Recovery and reboot. [You can find it my Collection]
If Magisk App isn’t uninstalled automatically, manually uninstall the app.
Manually creation of Flashable Uninstall Zip:
Download the latest Magisk APK and rename the Magisk.apk → uninstall.zip
Uninstall Magisk directly through the Magisk app. Simply press the Uninstall button.
Note: If your apps detect root, follow this Guide (or this) to pass SafetyNet and have certified Play Store. [YouTube Video Guide]
DISABLE FORCE ENCRYPTION (DFE) & ENCRYPTION
[You can find it in my Collection]
Disable Force Encryption
Disable Force Encryption (a.k.a DFE) is flashed during installation of a custom ROM to avoid the system encrypting /data partition when the devices boot for the first time.​Some ROMs are not encrypted by default and so is not necessary to flash DFE. However if your ROM comes with encryption by default you can always flash DFE after clean installation of ROM and always after every update or flash or you can use any custom recovery like OrangeFox, Pitchblack, Skyhawk Recovery Project which can automatic flash DFE after every flash.​I don't recommended to use DFE if you don't switch ROMs frequently and you are casual user. Beside the fact that if you lose your device your data are not protected, many people get in confusion while doing OTA or manually updates, which if the ROM is encrypted by default and flashed DFE and in next update you forget to flash DFE you will lock out from your data and you wil get into bootloop (use custom recoveries mentioned above to avoid that).​​
Encryption
Encrypted ROMs are recommended if you are stable and casual user of a ROM. Encryption have the benefit to protect your data, in case you lose your device for example. ​Always use the latest TWRP Recovery so you can be able to decrypt the data by filling the same lock screen password you have set in ROM.​Some ROMs are not encrypted by default but devs provide an Encryption.zip (script) which can encrypt the ROM. Same as DFE you need to flash it after clean installation of ROM and always after every update to stay encrypted and not get into bootloop. Unfortunatly there is not any custom recovery automatic doing that like with DFE, so you must be careful, avoid doing OTA updates and flash it every time you manually update a ROM.​

Simple Battery & Charging Tips
Improve your SOT
Battery Calibration
Method 1
Steps:
1. Discharge your phone fully until it turns itself off.
2. Turn it on again and let it turn itself off.
3. Plug your phone into a charger and, without turning it on, let it charge until the on-screen or LED indicator says 100 percent.
4. Turn your phone on. It's likely that the battery indicator won't say 100 percent, so plug the charger back in (leave your phone on) and continue charging until it says 100 percent on-screen as well.
5. Unplug your phone and restart it. If it doesn't say 100 percent, plug the charger back in until it says 100 percent on screen.
6. Repeat this cycle until it says 100 percent (or as close as you think it's going to get) when you start it up without it being plugged in.
Method 2
Notes: It won't dramatically extend battery life, but it will give your old battery at least 30 minutes additional run time.
Steps:
1. Get "GSam or Ampere" from the Google Play Store.
2. Launch the app and fully charge your phone. (Important: Only proceed with the calibration when the word "Full" appears in GSam or Ampere.)
3. While your phone is still connected to the cable reboot your phone to recovery mode, open file manager and navigate to "/data/system" and delete "batterystats.bin," "batterystats-checkin.bin," and "batterystats-daily.xml."
4. Reboot your phone (while it is still plugged in) and charge it until it reads "full" on GSam or Ampere.
5. Unplug the cable and use your phone normally until it shuts down (0 percent )
6. Charge your phone to 100% while it is turned off.
7. Boot into os and plug in your phone and charge it until it says "full" on the GSam or Ampere.
8. Unplug and have fun!
Battery Capacity Health
Notes:
1) Before checking the battery health, charge the device to 100%.
2) Check charge counter values and consider first 4 digits from left as your battery capacity in mAh. And check charge counter. (Charge counter/level)*100 is the battery capacity.
To find battery capacity in Windows:
Enable Developer options in your device.
Enable USB Debugging in your device.
Conect your device to PC and give permissions.
Open Minimal ADB (run cmd.exe) or Platform tools.
Type "adb shell dumpsys battery" command in Minimal ADB or Platform tools.
To find battery capacity in Android (Terminal) - Root needed:
Download an android terminal app like Termux,
Open terminal and type: cat/sys/class/power_supply/battery/charge_full
Overheating
Following reasons will lead to device heating issue:
During the initial setup after purchase or when restoring data.
Downloading large files.
Using apps that require more power or using apps for extended periods such as:
Playing high-quality games for long time.
Recording videos for extended periods.
Streaming videos while using the maximum brightness setting.
Using the Screen Mirroring / Smart View feature (connecting mobile to a TV).
While multitasking or when running many apps in the background i.e:
Using Multi window.
Updating or installing apps while recording videos.
Downloading large files during a video call.
Recording videos while using a navigation app.
Large amount of data for syncing with the cloud, email, or other accounts.
Exposing device under sunlight when temperature is high around you.
Extensive usage of mobile hotspot and tethering feature.
Using device in areas with weak signals or no reception or in roaming network.
Charging the battery with a damaged / unapproved USB cable.
Device's multipurpose jack is damaged or exposed to foreign materials, such as liquid, dust, metal powder, and pencil lead.
Solution:
Turn off Wi-fi, GPS , bluetooth and other connectivity options when not in use by dragging the notification panel.
Decrease screen brightness.
Close background running applications.
Too many applications installed in device may result in device heating since their corresponding process will keep on running in background. It is advised to uninstall un-necessary apps if not using them.
Avoid using apps like GPS, data dependent apps or graphic intensive games for longer duration since they require more energy to function, causing device to heat.
It is advised not to use device while charging as it may cause the device to over heat.
General:
DO:
Use manual brightness or dim the screen.
Turn off notifications for apps you don't use. Better still, delete/disable the apps entirely if you don't need them.
Enable battery or power saving mode when you want to extend your battery life.
Use the power adapter that came with your phone. Other chargers can charge slowly/faster but they can also damage your phone or battery.
Turn off bluetooth, location tracking, and Wi-Fi (unless you are actively using it)
Turn off print services from bluetooth connection preferences.
Avoid extremes of heat and cold. If your phone gets very hot or cold it can strain the battery and shorten it's lifespan.
DON'T:
Have Bluetooth or Wi-Fi turned on constantly.
Leave apps running in the background. Instead restrict background usage off apps that you don't need running.
Push email means your device is always listening for new email which drains alot of battery.
Drain your phone battery all the way to 0% or charging it all the way to 100%. Keep it between 20% - 90% for longer battery lifespan.
The more advanced the graphics and animations are (games, videos, photos, animations), the harder the processor and graphics chip in your smartphone have to work. More activity means more battery use.

ShutUP10++ , Privacy.Sexy: Disable major tracking features of Windows.
General:
Always prefer Open Source or well popular Programs, Apps, ROMs, Kernels & Stuff.
Open Source doesn't mean it's 100% safe but it's unlikely to have something suspicious, since you and other users can check the code in GitHub or in any other code hosting platform the "stuff" is hosted. You can also find and use FOSS apps at F-Droid or at Droid-ify (Recommended).
Prefer ROMs & Kernels with SELinux Enforcing. You can find informations here.
Always download and install Apps, Programs, ROMs & Stuff from official sources and do not use redirection links from different sites. Google is your friend to find the official source of the stuff you want.
Always check the permissions an app requires, before download and install it to your device. If an app ask for permissions which has nothing to do with the app functionality then it's should be reconsider or ask the developer why these permissions needed.
You can also check if the app includes trackers and ads with εxodus.
If you want to avoid Google and Play Store (De-Google), you can choose a ROM without GApps preinstalled like LineageOS and use Droid-ify client which is an installable catalogue of FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) applications for the Android platform. The client makes it easy to browse, install, and keep track of updates on your device. Note that not all apps from Play Store will be available in Droid-ify or F-Droid. Only Open Source projects. You can find alternatives though.
Alternative you can use LineageOS for microG or any ROM which support signature spoofing and can support microG and use Aurora Store.
For Windows use the default Windows Defender & Malwarebytes to scan your files whenever you want (Prefered before open or install them). Also use the addon/extension uBlock Origin in your Browser. These should be enough for normal users. You can also use the tool ShutUP10++ or Privacy.Sexy to disable major tracking features of Windows.
For Android Do not use any antivirus - antimalware since it's useless, just check what apps and from where you installing.
Always verify the source of addons/extensions in your browser. Avoid installing random and unpopular addons/extensions. Keep it minimal and clean, so browser can be fast and safe, no need bunch of extensions.
If you are using VPN, always check the terms and rules of the provider. Avoid random VPN Services.
Recommended VPN Services.
Using a VPN will not keep your browsing habits anonymous, nor will it add additional security to non-secure (HTTP) traffic.
Recommended is to encrypt your data/files always before uploading them to cloud with tools like Cryptomator.
Always use unique and strong passwords for each of your accounts.
Use awarded open source Password Managers like KeePass or KeePassXC for Desktop and KeePassDX for Android to manage your passwords and have them with you safe, encrypted and secure. Must be noted you can use the same database file between these programs.
Always enable 2 Step Authentication wherever is available for your accounts.
You can use apps like Aegis Authenticator.
Do not open or click on links attached in unknown emails or SMS you may get. Always check the address of the email or the number of SMS and verify it's legit from the official source.
Create and use "burned" email for accounts/sites you have concerns but you definitely want to try them. Do not use your personal or business email. You can also create and use email aliases of your email with SimpleLogin which is open source and awesome service.

Try to do factory reset (firstly save all your personal data to PC or to external SDCard). 12.0.2 and general all the latest miui updates are full of bugs and slow down your device. Also the chances to get new android version in miui are very low. I will not talk about security and tracking.
I recommended you to move away from miui and use a custom rom of your choice. :fingers-crossed:

Awesome thread, everything at one place. Thanks man.

You have gathered so much collective information at one place. It will be helpful if we found which Roms are from Pixel Ports and supports Google photos free unlimited high quality storage.

OP, this is a godsend! Thank you so so much. Any idea what settings I should be using for the most "pixel like" photos on parrots gcam?

Unfortunately, It's unknown yet. I will keep an eye on it but I doubt if it will work. Even new pixel phones will not have free unlimited storage. We will see...

I don't know but you can try the latest port of Parrot or use Sanitys or BSG ports. Try and find out which is the best for you You can also try to ask on Photography thread.

Yes new pixel phones will not have this advantage. (New pixel phones which ain't even launched yet)
But we have some roms which are ported from existing pixel phones like Pixel 3 and Pixel 4.
I got to know that Awaken OS based on Android 11 is detecting as Pixel 4 in Google photos. I'm not sure, I personally didn't install it yet.
I'm sure about some Roms and Ports like Pixel Rom and Pixel 4 xl ports are obviously detecting as Pixel 4 and they are enjoying new Google Assistant and Google One features as well.

I personally use Pixel Experience the Plus Edition. It's stable and ready out of the box.
However there a lot of nice ROMs, you check them in my collection and decide which fit for you.

Well the thing is we don't know yet if POCO F1 detecting as Pixel 4 in Google Security is enough to bypass and trick Google to have unlimited storage. We need to wait till June 1st, 2021 which this change will take place. Until then, the storage remain unlimited.

[GSI][PHH][Q][R][S] GSI flashing for Realme C12

Before doing anything to device, keep a copy of Stock ROM from here in your PC or SD Card.
Installing GSI ROMs
Tutorial:
If you don't know what a GSI is or want to know more about it, see this, this and this
Don't try to flash GSI in custom recovery.​
Note:- We can only flash GSIs having android version higher than or equal to stock rom android version. That is if your StockROM Android version is 10, then you can only flash GSIs of Android 10 or higher.
If you are flashing GSI with custom ROM installed, then flash stock ROM before flashing GSI. Since boot and vendor(may), get modified with custom ROM.
Step 1 - Pick your poison in the Treble Forums or from here!
Check below of this thread if you want to see my recommendations with links to them.
Step 2 - Download the chosen ROM, A/B ARM64 version (usually nicknamed (b), with (g) or without GApps (v), rooted (S) or not (N), that's entirely up to you.
It should be an .img.xz file, extract it and you'll get an .img file.​
For example, I am downloading this​
You're ready to flash. Make sure to backup your phone's data before continuing on with this tutorial, as wiping it is required for installation!
Step 3 - Put your phone into fastboot mode (Power + Volume Down) and link it to your PC.
Step 4 - Move the .img file and vbmeta.img you downloaded to your ADB & Fastboot (Platform Tools) folder, and rename it to system.img.
Step 5 - Shift + Right click in an empty space inside the folder, and click Open Command window here.
Inside the Command window, input the following commands line by line, in order.​
Code:
fastboot reboot fastboot // Recovery will appear with fastbootd mode
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot reboot bootloader
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot -w // Skip this if you are updating GSI
fastboot reboot
Your phone will now reboot on its own, using the new ROM you picked earlier, set it all up and enjoy!
GSI bugs without having any possible fixes
These bugs are there in my device and I can't able to fix them
DoubleTapToWake with Q vendor
Lift to wake with R vendor

If there is no Oppo features in settings then simply run below command in Termux
Code:
su -c "setprop persist.sys.phh.oppo.usbotg 1"
/system partition is read-only
this is the default behaviour of non-vndklite GSIs from v300.j onwards, to get R/W access for /system use vndklite variant.

If you have any other issues, tell the developer with logs. See this to know about taking logs.
FAQ
I can't able to use Magisk because of inbuilt phh SuperUser
- To use Magisk, we have to remove inbuilt phh SuperUser first, to do so boot to TWRP and run below commands in PC
Code:
adb shell
mount /system_root
mount -o rw,remount /system_root
rm -rf /system_root/system/app/me.phh.superuser
rm -f /system_root/system/bin/phh-su
rm -f /system_root/system/etc/init/su.rc
rm -f /system_root/system/xbin/su
exit
Now you can able to use Magisk
I can't able to install GApps in vanilla variant
- Simple thing we have to do is to use GApps variant of GSI. If you don't want to use GApps variant for some reason or there is no such thing at all, we need to resize system to increase free space in /system partition. For this we need to use fastbootd mode
Code:
adb reboot fastboot // or fastboot reboot fastboot if your are in fastboot mode
fastboot resize-logical-partition system 4294967296 // 4 GiB
fastboot reboot recovery
Now you can flash GApps package
If your are using UI 2.0 (means R vendor), then you may can't resize system 4 GiB as shown above, to do so we have to remove some unnecessary partitions first, run these commands in PC
Code:
adb reboot fastboot // or fastboot reboot fastboot if your are in fastboot mode
fastboot erase my_heytap
fastboot resize-logical-partition my_heytap 4096
fastboot erase my_stock
fastboot resize-logical-partition my_stock 4096
fastboot erase my_preload
fastboot resize-logical-partition my_preload 4096
Note that instead of deleting those partitions I erased and resized to 4KiB because deleting will cause longer booting time.

I am just testing AOSP v313 vndklite vanilla to create an overlay for fixing battery stats, status bar height and to set notch cutout.
Overlay made so far is attached below.
To make the overlay work, just place it in /system/product/overlay/and reboot. See if status bar height is increased or not and after some usage battery stats will appear (Setting -> Battery -> 3-dot -> Battery usage). We can check if overlay is applied or not using below commands in Termux su -c "lsof | grep treble-overlay-realme-c12" it will output some lines if successfully applied.

We can check if overlay is applied or not using below commands in Termux su -c "lsof | grep treble-overlay-realme-c12" it will output some lines if successfully applied.

Use Signal as SMS app for working Messaging ,​Be patient while enrolling fingerprint , use thumbs and make whole area of thumb connect with screen at the light green spot​Only use this Magisk if you want to root it else other magisk will cause system to hang at bootanimation ​FaceUnlock is included by default and it works​Enable Devloper mode and inside that setup Smallest Width as 392 and Display Cutout as Punch Hole Cutout Many customisations available in crDroid settings.​Screenshots attached in this post ​
Thanks to @SirCDA for his guide from which I understood that you need to flash empty vbmeta files else phone will directly boot to fastboot mode only.
Thanks to @phhusson for making tools that allow GSI to work properly
Thanks to @harvey186 for making LeOS .

I also tried
Havoc OS Android 10 Arm64 A/B but that did not boot .

AncientOS-R-Society-v5.4_arm64_AB_bvN-IRON

Updated OP , currently the least buggy working GSI is crDrom11 with only two recognised bugs VOLTE and Fast Charging

I've tried the following roms:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/ancientrom/files/gsi/V6.2/AncientOS-S-Shield-v6.2-arm64_bgN-Steel-20220417.img.xz/download
https://builds.haridhayal.workers.dev/ProtonAOSP/2022_03_24/proton-12.3.0-2022_03_24-vndklite-arm64_bgN.img.xz
Haven't tried phone functions cause don't have a second sim card.
AncientOS have no fingerprint and face unlock. For face unlock there is the option but cannot detect the face. With magisk v24.3 there is no way to pass safetynet. On this one I've also copied my apps and settings from my previous phone and haven't found any malfunctions.
Proton also have no fingerprint and face unlock options into settings. After installing magisk v24.3 the system broke. It boots but the launcher sometimes works sometimes no. Settings app not opening and some other apps crashes (com.android.phone, etc). I've tried this for just a fews minutes so probably there is a solution for magisk but I don't like the rom and lack of personalization so no more testing for me..
For both roms the recovery is partially broken. /data and /cache partitions are inaccessible. Even if I format them, after a normal boot the partitions are broken again.
Also if the brightness is reduced to zero it completely disables the screen but the touch continues to work.
I think I'll try corvus as the next rom.
