is my phone realy that rare? - General Questions and Answers

i have a huawei y9 2018 (fla-lx1) and i cant seem to find neither magisk support or a twrp img
at least my phone is treble compatible with VNDK 28 with SAR support (a-only)
i got an unofficial twrp image from unofficial twrp but i feel like it will do more bad than good
ii have a gsi havoc os for my phone but i haven't flashed it yet since huawei stopped giving away bootloader codes (i am aware of potatoNV)
can someone help me? i am tired of my stock rom and i wanna move from android 9 to 10 or 11 (Havoc-os 4.12)

I guess it is that rare

Not rare, just not popular, Huawei devices are not sold and used everywhere, they are banned in some countries.
If you want to be able to modify devices, buy better quality, more popular devices because those are the devices that receive development from the developers that create what we use here. If you use low end, cheap and unpopular devices, you will have to learn how to build your own custom recovery and custom ROMs because the developers here do not use those kinds of devices or create development for those kinds of devices.

Official Lineage for Oneplus 6 and influence of A/B seamless Updates on this subject.

I was planing to buy the Oneplus 6. So when I searched the Web for a Official Lineage OS ROM I found the Article I linked below telling me that there maybe never be a Official Lineage OS ROM for this phone. This being the only bit of information I was able to find about A/B seamless updates and the implications this means for OFFICIAL Custom ROMS this leads me to two questions.
The device specific Question. Will there ever be a Official Lineage OS ROM for the Oneplus 6?
The broader non device specific Question is about A/B seamless updates and the future that means for OFFICIAL Lineage OS ROMS.
No device with A/B has ever received a Official Lineage OS ROM (even the Pixel 2 which supports Treble).
Does A/B makes it impossible that this apparently unstoppable course can change in the future?

just a matter of time and about how many devices will need a treble compatible and A/B compatible version. the more of those pop up on the market the sooner they'd have to either cease development or adopt the new infrastructure which is already happening at this very moment.

Installing Official Android 10 GSI

I have been trying to install the official android 10 gsi on my mix 2s: https://developer.android.com/topic/generic-system-image/
Flashed the rom but the phone just bootlooped, after going through the initial instructions more carefully, turns out this phone is not fully VNDK (Vendor Native Development Kit) compliant.
My question is, what does this mean for the phone? Can't say I understand it well, but would Xiaomi have to make an updated Android 10 vendor partition? Are there some devs who can make it VNDK compliant, and its only a matter of time? Is this VNDK built into any custom Android 10 rom that will be made for this device in the future?
That would be interesting if it actually booted.
Not sure that this VNDK compliant is which you are refering

I attached a screenshot of the section I'm talking about, the output for the Mix 2S for "namespace.default.isolated" is "false."
Also I found that Xiaomi plans to update this device to MIUI 11 (Android 10) sometime between now and the end of the year, so that should update the vendor software and make this GSI able to boot. :fingers-crossed:
Do not try to install for now. I've already installed and for some reason I don't know, my phone always crashed so I have to reboot it.....:crying:

Our devices didn't ship with android 9.0 so I doubt they would be "VNDK", unless xiaomi choose to do this(doubt it tbh, wish but doubt) in our phones. We have no luck unless they(xiaomi) provides an update for android 10

I'd prefer if we were independent from xiaomi. I mean if xiaomi stop providing new versions I'd prefer if devs don't need weird workarounds

Yeah that was half my reason for buying a new phone. I thought treble would be the solution to indefinite independent updates, but I guess not quite :crying:

Well only if google forces companies to fully comply with treble we might get lucky. It would be nice to not depend entirely on Xiaomi

Help finding the cleanest custom rom + how to install it!

Hello, everyone!
I just got a J4+ from a family member after my iPhone stopped working, I've been an iOS user for over 4 years.
Before moving to iOS in 2017, I used to be a Samsung/Android user and I also used to install custom roms on my phones but I see that things are a bit diff now.
What is the best custom rom for J4+? I need less lag on apps like Instagram (specially in the camera section), TikTok (videos lag a lot on One UI) and on games.
I see that nowadays you need to unlock the bootloader in settings and then flash some unlocking stuff on TWRP before being able to install roms? I'd need quite a guide, if anyone can help
Thank you!!
phhusson's GSIs.
This link always points to the latest release.
This link points to v313, (maybe) the last version that will work on J4+ since it is an A-only device.
Remember to use the arm-aonly image. Either Googapps or Vanilla variant is fine, it's up to you.
See here for instructions:
How to flash a Generic System Image (GSI) on Project Treble supported devices
So your device supports Project Treble, what does that mean for you? It means you can flash a Generic System Image such as LineageOS or Resurrection Remix! Enjoy AOSP-based custom ROMs! Here's a guide on how to install these ROMs.

Question [Q] Found this online... Is it legit? - Interested in TWRP

This is my first Xiaomi and i come from a long history with Sony devices
Download Custom Roms For Xiaomi 12 [Android 12] | The Android Space
How to Install Custom ROM on Xiaomi 12 Stock Rom, Firmware, Android 12, XDA Developer, TWRP Recovery, Custom OS, Bootloader Unlock.
theandroidspace.com
Does anyone did this? Is this legitimate?
Unlock process is clear
TWRP is something i need and did not found much on XDA
Custom ROM like LOS, nothing (except some GSI that have many issues)
Since development for this device is basically none/inexistent here on XDA for this device i`m very suspicious about that site....
Maybe a particular variant, not all the Xiaomi12s are breakable. Reach out to the OP on that site and maybe can elaborate an answer.
Did a little digging on that site and it is not legit. It has correct instructions but files for Xiaomi 12 does not exist.
There is no TWRP for Xiaomi 12
The ROM is just a generic AOSP
It is just a scheme to get more site traffic !!!!

Moto E22 - LineageOS20 vs Lineage

I just bought a Motorola Moto E22 and want to install a custom ROM to get rid of google stuff.
It seems Lineage does not support this phone yet, but I found this LineageOS22 guide which I have no idea it is reliable or if it has anything to do with the official Lineage project.
Any clarification or suggestions for alternative privacy respecting ROMs that work on Moto E22 would be much appreciated.
First of all, don't do these before completing 1 year of buying. You will lose warranty for unlocking bootloader.
Second thing is, if any official rom is not supported, you can definitely use unofficial version from xda. Developers try their best to fix issues with unofficial roms. If you don’t know if it’s reliable or not, read the comments to learn about bugs, issues and positive sides.
Don't be afraid of trying roms built for your model. Because by chance if you don’t find the rom good, you can revert back to stock rom using rescue & smart assistant tool (official software from lenovo/moto)
And before getting started, take note of your model number. Also you have to install device info hw app & click on system there. There you have to find what is your device called in developments. The name will be written beside "device" title (not sure). For example, my moto e5 is called nora in development.
N.B. Dont use any unofficial rom from outside of xda!

Thanks for the quick response.
Privacy is a greater concern than warranty, so much so that I would have got the PinePhone if I could, but the best I can do is try to mitigate the damage made by stock android spyware and Motorola bloatware.
I'm more than willing to test unofficial roms, the problem is that there doesn't seem to be any available for my model here on xda, not even an official thread yet.
The LineageOS20 for Moto E22 link I found does seems a bit suspicious as there is nothing about it here on the forum.
