It's a rip off phone that not many people know. I had to create a twrp, pitchblack, redwolf, cwm, orange fox recoveries for my phone. compiling from source.

RROS has plethora of features and customisations. You could try it. And if you still have free time, also check out Lineage and then pixel experience. As 1 GB ram isn't much, try sticking to the stock experience as much as possible.
And one more thing... Did you succeed in creating custom recoveries for your device?
As your device shipped with Android 8, it might support treble and if yes, try creating a custom recovery with treble support. You could then simply use GSIs without the difficulty of compiling ROMs.

So I did have a go with GSIs, and it was slightly succesful. I was only able to flash android 8.1 systems. BUT I COULD NOT, for the love of god, could not flash android 9 for my device. I ended up sticking with my resurection gsi 8.1 . But if what you're saying is true, I should be able to flash android 9 on my android 8.1 using their bootable recovery? And yes I booted into the recoveries I compiled.

Noice. Then go with compiling the latest ROMs yourself. But I believe that takes a lot of time doesn't it? By compiling them yourself, you can customise the hell out of them!
My bad, I never even tried making a ROM (so I actually know nothing about it LOL ).
And be careful, you might brick your device...

I thought so since Nokia hasn't released its source codes yet.
I'm looking at the specs of the note4 mtk, and I see that the chipset is Mediatek MT6797 Helio X20.
I'm not sure that would work with the nokia 3

Guys, I just got my hands on NK3(Nokia 3) today, hoping I will be able to do something for it soon.
AND regrading the quoted reply to link(guide) , I wrote that simple guide and it's not and never meant for porting Miui Roms.
FOR now, I have not tested the acclaimed Miui for NK3 , and as some says it's fake it might be true but to clear all doubts, someone should take the risk and try.
If I get free time too, I will try it personally to see.

first of all thanks for the guide. I want to clarify that I drew inspiration not only from yours, but also from this http://www.osbusters.net/2015/11/how-to-port-miui-7-rom-to-qualcomm-smartphones.html, which is designed for processors qualcomm but that is fine in general and is based on a comparison of fstab files of the boot.img through the meld software.

Please no matter what you do or can do, its not recommended to do use a number of peoples' device to test a project it your ain't certain.
in the previous replies, someone mentioned that you did same to Mi A1 which you got those devices bricked, please and please , its better you get a tester to test your stuffs for you than to push to publicc for all dudes to bricked thier device.
Remember, they used money to purchase the NK3.
Thanks.
Yeah completely hard bricked my phone I think, have to wait until I can be back with it to see if it is possible to unbrick it.
Seems like when I tried it earlier, it didn't even boot into the preloader....
Can anyone here see if https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-11836.html is possible?
Hi!
I would like to present you Android Boot Manager dualboot solution.
For now we have 4 work in progress devices:
Volla Phone
F(x)tec Pro 1/X
Moto G5
Galaxy S3 neo (nothing done yet)
Our wiki
Why new solution?
There is a lot of them already, such as: efidroid, multirom, dualboot patcher.
Now all of them are dead, because google implemented SAR, A/B, super partition.
We aim to support all that.
How it work?
ABM consists of 2 parts: bootloader and app+ sh scripts.
App with sh scriptes is used to install bootloader and add new roms.
Bootloader is used to display list of roms and load linux kernel with right dtb and optionally initrd.
What is used as BL:
Anything that can boot kernel. It coud be either 2nd stage bl, or in some cases even phones main bl.
For now:
Volla Phone (MTK's lk based bl)
F(x)tec Pro1/X (custom abl + uefi app)
Moto G5 and S3 neo (lk2nd)
Thanks to:
nift4 (Android app dev, co-creator of project)
LVGL team (GUI library)
lk (little kernel, used as bootloader on some platforms)
Fxtec (HW)
Volla (HW)

You call it Android Boot Manager. Does that mean it is made specifically to boot things that are based on Android, like Stock, AICPQ, LineageOS, or is that true for any ported OS that runs on libhybris with the Android kernel (plus some patches sometimes), like hybris-mobian, ArchARM, SFOS, etc.?

Hi, now we have work in progress wiki https://www.wiki.abmanager.tech/index.php/Main_Page
We plan to implement no-bootloader-workaround that will work on devices without 2nd or 1st stage opesource bootloader. And we plan support for Das U-boot
Great news! I see that the Pro1 msm8998 is not listed among supported devices, but count me in as a tester as soon as it is. Curious if it would be possible to dualboot mainline + libhybris OSes too, but I reckon this would be difficult.

TWRP 12.1 for Galaxy A53 5GInfoNOTE THAT THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS. IT IS NEITHER BUILDING NOR RUNNING AT THE MOMENT.
Also note that I never ported a TWRP device tree for any other device before.
I started working on a TWRP build for the Galaxy A53 5G. More specifically, I started extracting the device tree with the twrpgen tool using the original stock recovery.img.
Then, I adapted the output to match the new "twrp" style syntax, as the twrpgen tool still produces the old "omni" files.
My hope was to get at least the build process running inside GitHub actions, such that we have a CI pipeline running for this where everybody can easily contribute and improve.
While the build actions sometimes seem to succeed, the out/target/product/a53x/ folder contains neither a .img, nor a .zip file, which I could upload to the phone.
Even though this is not building at the moment, it might be some time saver for somebody who has worked with TWRP builds before and we might quickly get this running.
Feel free to contribute to this repository or fork it.

I thought since it is now the default branch (12.1), it should be the one to use.

1. Yes, especially concerning environment for builds and also the difference between 11/12 FBE Data encryption etc; 2. No, that URL was about 12.1, but to read You must register and log in. Than You will see a desperate battle and necessary things to keep in mind. There You will find the results for TWRP 12.1 for some Google Pixel's.
Also, in other thread of XDA I've seen LOS 19.1 and TWRP 12.1 ready to use for one of Samsung Galaxy (S8 ?), but seems it includes some proprietary Samsung SW. May be You can ask there for details ? The Developer, Ivan Meler, is friendly and communicative.

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.

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.
Hi! Has anyone tried to flash a GSI rom on Xiaomi 13? If yes how does it work?

Currently there is no GSI working on this model AFAIK. Wait for device specific ports instead.

I am using Project elixir for almost 2 weeks now. So far so good.
I suggest you dont flash it but instead usi it via DSU. Autobrightness is not working, fingerprint too. There are gcam ports wich are also compatible with our device. Battery life is better than miui. Even adding a card to google wallet works fine, until a reboot.

But basically its a subsystem method wich was implemented to allow a/b partition devices to be able to run gsis' for testing purposes, without the need of flashing and deleting the original os. Think of it as dualboot for android. The only thing is that if you're using it via dev settings, you dont have the choice of selecting what to boot, but your device will directly download google's official gsi (wich is not very functional and its ugly).
Thats why you just need to download the DSU Sideloader app from PlayStore. The app will do everything with a gsi of your choice if you follow the instructions.
The only thing wich is mandatory is that the BL of your device must be unlocked in order to use dsu.
There are videos on YT showing this. If you want to try the gsi I mentioned, download it from their website.

No problem, I dont mind explaining, but there are pretty detailed articles, wich may enlighten you better than I can do it. Anyways, if/when you try it you'll really understand how much MIUI is ruining the experience of that pretty device. I was thinking about selling it 3 days after i got it, only because of that deprecated UI with stupid restrictions. I'm really glad i searched and tried stuff. Good luck!

Hi, sorry if I bother you, I've just tried with project elixir GSI using DSU sideloader, but I don't know why when I restart by clicking on notification it doesn't even boot on my GSI... I've installed the sideloader as root installation... I don't know why it's not working...
