What is the geek/rom amount potential?

There are a lot of roms for the original Mix 2, but will it be the same for Mix 2S too and it's just too soon, or are there preconditions for the opposite?

We are just waiting for some source code release, then we will see some development

So Xiaomi did all that is needed, the problem is only snapdragon 845 source and right after that all the custom rom development is fully open for this phone, right?

Yes look at the Oneplus 6 forums same problem, only treble roms available atm.
The sources are pretty late with release of the 845 mostly is much earlier released.

And does this affect custom treble roms in any way? Does it mean that I won't be able to install some of them from Treble Rom thread?

No you can just install them. B is only used for live updates(using your device while the update installs)

Is there any way to install Custom ROMS after updating to EMUI9?

Hi everyone,
I got my p20 at release so I have the unlocked bootloader
After a few months of getting along with EMUI, the newest version (EMUI9) is just pissing me off with bugs and terrible performance.
I tried installing TWRP but it doesent work (cant touch any of the UI in twrp.)
In the Forum i read it has to do with EMUI9, so my question is:
Is there any way to get TWRP to work and install roms or do i have to wait for an TWRP update?

Just downgrade to emui 8, you have to do it through PC app. Just search for updates and there should be line to downgrade.

how to get unlocked bootloader code now ?

Is there a good starting guide for treble roms? I got the bootloader unlocked and thats it. It's kirin 970 if that makes any difference. SHould i downgrade to emui 8?

I know this reply is a bit late but anyway,
Openkirin released a build of Resurrection Remix 7.0.1 for EMUI 9 devices this week, and it looks like the P20 is on the supported list. GApps and stock Huawei camera are preinstalled. It might be your best bet for compatibility.
I was going to try it out myself but I haven't unlocked my bootloader yet (but have the code) and to be honest EMUI 9 is good enough for me as a daily driver, I can't find a good enough reason to flash.
EDIT 21/04/19: Unlocked my bootloader and installed RR 7 and touchscreen doesn't seem to be working on my phone. Same thing with Omnirom. Going back to stock for now. Devs on the Telegram support said to wait for the next build.

Yeah, but following this forum I have noticed that many users encounter problems like not working fingerprint scanner or hotspot on treble based ROMs.
Or maybe you can point on on some Android Oreo ROM working properly on P20? (Want Oreo because of Xposed, not sure if it is already ported to Pie)
Apearently software-wise Huawei is still as bad as it was 5 years ago (still remember and hate my Huawei G6), because when bought this phone (P20) hoped that at least it supports treble... sadly - just partially

Me too haha.
You could try it yourself if you really wanted to, it seems to be a hit or miss whether people have this bug or not. A dev told me a few other P10s have the problem while his own P10 works fine. I haven't seen many P20 users though.

Before i buy a Galaxy S10e, i want to know...

Is there any chance for this phone to get an official custom version of android?
Like PixelExperience, Paranoid or Lineage OS
Since the phone is alrd more than 1 year old, and i would like to keep it for a long time

Look here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...eageos-17-1-beta0-s10e-update-t4076585/page92
There are more custom roms in the same thread.

SD bootloader cannot be unlocked, so no custom roms have been developed for the s10e with SD as far as I know.

Question TWRP files for g stylus 5g 2022 (XT2215-4)

I have recently acquired a carrier unlocked Motorola G Stylus 5G 2022 (XT2215-4) and have successfully unlocked the boot loader.
I have been looking for TWRP recovery files/images for my device but have been unsuccessful up to this point. I am considering compiling some from source, if need be, at which point I will likely compile lineage from some source for it as well.
Does anyone know if the 2021 (Denver/Osaka) models can or should be used as a template for attempting this? Additionally is anyone looking into porting to this device? I am a bit new to this and wouldn't mind a bit of assistance.
Thanks!

Just got the device the other day but haven't bootloader unlocked it. I'm assuming due to the different processor alone it's likely we'll need our own device tree. I haven't really done that stuff before but maybe if we get a Telegram group going we could get some Moto vets to help out maybe?

I have been able to extract the dtb.* files from the firmware's dtbo.img however I have not attempted to compile it into the dts.img via the dtc utiliity like many of the tutorials on the subject say you need to do. This is because none of the ones I found say anything about having to deal with multiple dtb files like the ones I was presented with when I extracted the dtbo.img from the device firmware. I didnt want to try it and have it be totally wrong.
On the motorola github I have posted an issue requesting the release of the kernel, device tree, and any other pertinent files, pertaining to the stock firmware for the XT2215-4. Hopefully they come back in an reasonable time so that I can move forward with compiling Lineage OS for it.
Rooting:
Once you get the bootloader unlocked, you can root it by flashing the boot.img that has been patched with Magisk using fastboot. Perhaps Ill post a step by step guide for this for the XT2215-4 in the next day or so.

This is a mediatek phone, you will have to wait on the Milan files from Moto directly, and last I checked they haven't released the tree yet.

XT2215-4 is not mediatek it's Qualcomm snapdragon SDM695 w same sm6375 chipset as the xiaomi note 11 Pro, I would rather have Orange box recovery cuz I'm spooled to the OTA update block, I was about to bust out studio and Android kitchen myself and see if I could Port it from the xiaomi note 11 Pro but I know the kernel going to have different drivers as the 11 pro has a lot better camera like 100 megapixel versus 50 megapixel a few other small details different LTE bands.. maybe enough to just swap the kernels out and Android kitchen to get a buggy twrp up in there interim as we're I'm waiting the kernel ource code and devised tree Moto has only posted like three of their 12 devices I was about to supposed to request when I saw his already posted I'll try to back him up maybe if we bug the crap out of them the xiaomi people had to do that.. they have ricedroid, PE, lineage evolution x, Sapphire, and arrow all kinds of ROMs for the same chipset Xiaomi note 11 pro / Poco note 4 (apparently the Paco is the same device just different country branded and somehow it's the only one that's allowed to play like pubg battlegrounds and stuff cuz they're trying to push the pacos or whatever) i ran across it all in the telegram and I still don't think they have gotten their source code yet. I'm not sure how they even ported all this. Because the telegram thread with all the ROMs I was looking at ror porting and still requesting people to spam xiaomi' about releasing the source

I dumped and built up a recovery device tree for xt2215-4, then built twrp from source with the twrp 12.1 branch

I have a Mediatek variant. I have CPU-Z as a confirmation. I also have made it quite clear in my guides that I have a Factory Unlocked version purchased from Best Buy. So I'm on Milan, Mediatek Helio P65 MT6768 board.
It would behoove you to read and do research before spouting out unconfirmed information.

I'm unclear what you are responding to. My xt2215-4 is also qualcomm. It also reports the board as holi. Mine was also purchased carrier unlocked from best buy. After sifting through the internal guts of the rom after super and partitions inside have been extracted, it's def a qualcomm device. What is your model # ?
I have also rebuilt the super image to use a GSI rom but I cannot seem to get service fully functional. If anyone would like to help me work on it, join my Telegram Android group and let me know. I have twrp built but also need some help getting the touchscreen script working as well as usb functioning. I know my device is using a Novatek screen as repoted by fastboot getvar all

You could wait for Moto to release the trees. Nobody's made a request so that could be the delay.

Question Galaxy A12 NACHO (One UI) Rom on Galaxy M12 (One UI CORE)

I noticed that the Galaxy A12 Nacho (SM-A127F) uses the same CPU as the Galaxy M12 (SM-M127F) and in addition both have very similar specifications, however the Galaxy A12 uses the normal One UI. Is it possible to use One UI from Galaxy A12 Nacho on Galaxy M12?

Should also work on GSIs, but sometimes it might not work, and you need to install a special .apk called ims.apk for it to work.

Better to use an AOSP ROM though, it is fully optimized for the device, although GSI increases how many ROMs you can use.

Also, what GSI do you want to flash? I can recommend the LineageOS 20 and Pixel Experience GSI. I helped my friend yesterday to install a LineageOS 20 GSI on a Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 5G. It all worked, except the mobile data, as it could not connect to mobile data (but find the SIM and detect the provider). Switched to a Pixel Experience GSI, and all was fixed.

I did not test it on my devices. I helped a friend to install it on a Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 5G, although I do have an SM-T290 (Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 (2019)) which is rooted and has a LineageOS 20 AOSP ROM.

I did try to install a LineageOS 20 GSI on my SM-T290 while it was not available yet with TWRP, but somehow it bootlooped. Then I switched back to stock and later I found out that there was an AOSP ROM, which works very good now!

Yes, although LineageOS also looks much like stock.

Installing custom things works the same on every Samsung device, not the files though. But most steps are the same. I still don't know why my tablet was bootlooping while flashing the GSI, I had wiped the data partition and also the system partition I think. I'm not sure whether I did format them. I wish we could dual-boot on those devices. I know there is MultiROM, but that is only for a few older devices.

Maybe, because of that, you don't need any patch! Maybe it will already work.
