Porting ROMs - OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers

Hey, I'm looking at porting DotOS to my OnePlus 8, just curious what device would be best for that. I was thinking the OnePlus 8T would be the best, since it has the same SoC, but it does have 120 Hz display, so I'm not 100% sure. Do I have to use the same vendor, or can I use a different vendor but use the vendor image from Oxygen OS or Lineage OS for my device?

Do you know which GSI rom could work better on redmi 6? (with camera, fingerprint)
Is the helio p22 a problem to flash one this rom?
mtk you'll never have a new Android version
That's why treble is a good solution.
All phones in 8.1 Can be updated via twrp with GSI roms.
Which vendor zip and system image (A-only or A/B) is best for redmi 6?
I did not find any custom rom oreo for redmi 6.
Xiaomi Qualcomm SoC have many custom rom.
Redmi 6 needs only A Treble roms.
Arm32 (sometimes called ARM)
But problems exist to enable sim working well.
So, for now, no custom rom.

Xiami poco X2 custom OxygenOs

Poco X2 is a great smartphone with good processor.
There are various custom rom for poco X2 but the best custom rom OxygenOs is not found. Anyone please let me know if any updates for this rom comes!
Hey, OxygenOS also known as OOS isn't a custom rom. It is a proprietary skin of android developed by OnePlus (BBK) for their devices only.

you're were right bro, it's an android skin for one plus devices. the op could actually be thinking about porting the rom( of a oneplus device) to our k30 and that would be a good idea.

Yes plzzz
Yess plz build oxygen os
Are people stupid here? You literally cannot port Oxygen Os, it's not open source neither it can be ported for all devices. Many custom roms are better than oxygen os.
OOS 6 is now ported

Any stable GSI for p20?

It seems we got the last major update with EMUI 10. My Phone still looks like new after 2 years and i'd like to check my options. Since there is almost no custom ROM development i'm trying to find out, if there are any GSI Systems working well with the P20.
Has someone tested Lineage OS or even Android 11 as GSI on the P20 L29?
HELLO BOY, I HAVE TRIED SEVERAL GSI ROMS FROM https://forum.xda-developers.com/project-treble/trebleenabled-device-development and they have worked well for me, see how did you unlock the bootloader?

All of these work great: https://github.com/eremitein/treble-patches/wiki
I was told the gsis wont work on android 10. I think you'll need android 9 vendor
Thanks for your replies. I'll have a look at the treble roms and might track the progress around CAOS 11. That looks promising too!
Has anyone been able to install any GSI of android 11? any help with android 10 gsi? any rom gsi recommended?

[QUESTION] Can we port GSI rom to any android device?

Can we port any GSI rom to any android device? for example I want tp port GSI rom to Honor 6 Plus, Honor 6x, Huawei P8 Lite or any old android device.
If Android device supports Project Treble then yes.

No, i mean port as customized rom to your device hardware, i know we can port any rom including OEM roms using GSI Erfan GSIs tool but what about opposite?
I want to do that because my device tree and vendor tree are not available in github or any other place.

Your question is very broad. It is effectively the same as asking "Can you port any ROM from one device to any other?" Although a little more generic (GSI's), if your device does not support project treble, then you are kinda in the same boat that the ROM is from a different device. Just as Phone A does not support phone B's ROMs. The devil is in the detail ie specifics.

Pixel 3 XL , any Lineage 20 work?

I was surprised when I saw a Lineage 20 rom for my older Nexus 6, but nothing for my current Pixel 3 XL. Is anyone working on one?

I believe the Pixel 3 is Project Treble compliant, meaning you should be able to use any GSI.
Use this guide to flash a GSI; @AndyYan has some LineageOS 20 GSIs which you can get here. If you want Gapps, use the bgN "flavor", and use a Magisk patched boot image.
Also, if you're just looking for a way to run updated firmware, check out Project Lazarus.
