I've tested 3 GSI images with my phone last weekend, here are the results:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. PixelExperience: https://forum.xda-developers.com/poco-f1/how-to/treble-pixel-experience-9-0-t3839681
or here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...ce-development/9-0-pixelexperience-p-t3833294
- Everything work well
- Feel faster than stock, no mi nonsense
- Wifi and data work fine
- Sound: OK
- Camera: work
- Bug: NO DARK MODE, it went black, and never come back.
- Ugly: the notification bar is not so compatible with curve screen, the clock and battery percentage almost got cut-off
- I might do something wrong, but my bank app said the phone is rooted. So, I have to flash stock back.
2. LineageOS: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...vice-development/9-0-lineage-os-16-0-t3840801
- There is this "privacy protection" error pop-up all the time
- Booted, run smooth
- Wifi and data work fine
- Sound and camera work.
- LineageOS handles the top and bottom curve better than PixelExp, the notification bar look better
- Some setting features were not working and follow with error, but the phone still work normally after error message
- I really hope the Lineage team get it work really soon. :good:
3. HavocOS: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...-device-development/rom-havoc-os-8-1-t3819050
- Bootloop...end
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Flash TWRP
3. With adb tool, flash system image (I've tried to flash PixelExp system image with TWRP, and got to bootloop, so I've changed to flash with adb command)
4. With TWRP flash decrypt
5. With TWRP wipe cache/dalvick
5. With TWRP format data
6. With TWRP flash decrypt again
Is there any way to flash PixelExperience without root?
PS. When I wrote that the camera work: I mean it works you can take a picture with both front and back cameras, but I didn't compare the picture quality at all.
Just tested Aosp Extended and I'll take the template you posted in the OP so it's easier for you.
AEX post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...device-development/rom-aosp-extended-t3821934
- Rebooted itself a few times during the first boot.
- Felt sluggish during the first minutes, but then everything went smooth as butter.
- Wifi and data work fine
- Sound: OK
- Camera: work, but worse quality than stock
- Bug: NO DARK MODE, it went black, and never come back. In order to fix this you need to reflash the image
- Ugly: the notification bar is not so compatible with curve screen, the clock and battery percentage almost got cut-off. However you can almost fix it changing the display size, not a perfect fix but better than stock.
I'll be going to MIUI stock again, even though I hate it
Thanks for your feedback, you will save us a lot of time!
So, so far, you haven't found any GSI that handle completely properly the notch and curves of our screen?
I dont have any cut off on pixel experience after couple of reboots

LineageOS handle the notch almost perfect, however, with other bug.

For me, the time and battery percentage are closer to the edge than yours.
Also, is it root? Can we flash without root?
Thanks.

I, personally don't have any preferred template.
It seems as if the AEX is more or less on par with the PixelEx.
Can you manage to flash it without root?
I can live with a bit ugly notification and some minor bug, but I need to use the bank app. So I want to flash it without root.
I tested RR v6.1 GSI and it works with 2 intolerable bugs.
1, 3.5mm headphone not works. Speaker still works when haedphone plug in.
2, since the notch removed by command 'wm size 1080x2074' (result:here), screenshots will add black frame on the top and bottom, and the original contents(1080x2274) are zipped into 1080x1902, so it looks a liitle strange
RR GSI post: gsi-resurrection-remix-o-6-1-0-t3811299
Flashed arm64 a only 0818 version.
- root(magisk 17.1) and xposed v90 beta3 work.
- Wifi and data(CMCC) work
- Sound: both speakers work
- Camera: work
- Bug: headphone not work , screenshot problem
although i hate MIUI , i have to return to it . i need 3.5mm. looking foward to lineage 15.1 or aosp, etc.
I'm not sure why everyone is so eager to test these GSI builds when they don't actually work 100% as stable.
LOS 15.1 development already in progress and I've been watching it, everything is looking good so far ( including camera, dual 4g/volte). Just give the devs sometime for the release.

I could answer that...easily...maybe
I hate MIUI.
I hate ads full rom.
I have high hope for the project treble, it's a good starting point for generic device rom.
I don't know about your development of the lineageos, this is the first post I saw this information.
Also, it's fun to try something, even not perfect, it's still fun to mess around.

Thanks for the great news. And do you mind telling that you ve been watching the development where exactly?
Thanks once again.
Tried 9.0 roms
1 Treblized os: very smooth and stable VOLTE problem.
2 Pixel experience: Smooth but thermal throttling is broken hearts up quite bit.
3 lineage os: doens't look as good as PE and yeah no VOLTE is any GSI 9 or 8.1
4 Arrow os: The best of all. Fast snappy.
5 Havoc os: Bootloop tried everything.
Tried 8.1 roms:
1 Arrow os: The best I must say. PUBG experience is great the touch is really snappy and accurate for some reason.
2 RR official: Has some weird issue maybe sound don't remember.
3RR unofficial: there were 2 unofficial builds one booted fine and the other got Bootloop. Sound was good in unofficial and boot animation is better.
4 Aquarius os: Simple and good.
5 Dot os: well I've tried this GSI on my OP5T it was amazing but in Poco it doesn't feel as stable as others.
After trying all these GSI roms the best stable snappy and thermal friendly ROM was 8.1 and 9 Arrow os.
Like if I helped you.

Wow, arrow os was not on my tested list. :good:
Need to try it asap.
Just question: can I flash it without root status?

Well I'm not sure because I flashed root on every GSI because my device feels uncomplete without it but I'm sure you won't have any problem with no root and yeah in some GSI roms we have option to download with gapps/su/ or vanilla
Edit:
I needed root access because I used this universal notch fix
Go to terminal give root access and type
"wm overscan 0,90,0,0" this completely pushes the notification panel below the notch and fits perfectly!

2 Questions
1. I didn't intend to flash root, but when I flashed the "Encryption disabler" (that every guides suggest to flash, see attached), it became root itself. Can I not flash it?
2. Do I need to fix the notch in ArrowOS, is it not detect and adjust by itself?

1. The encryption disabler is only for MIUI roms because it encrypts your data on first boot but GSI roms don't encrypt your data so you can skip flashing that after flashing GSI
2. Only Pie roms have the ability to adjust to notch currently this feature is not available in 8.1 roms so it'll look weird.
The notch situation is a bit better in Lineage 9.0.
In every ROM, ir unlock doesn't work (as expected), and volte doesn't work (expected?!).
All cameras work well.

I'm a very beginner so to flash without root:
0. Unlock bootloader
1. Flash recovery TWRP
2. In TWRP flash encryption disabler
3. Wipe (normal wipe?)
4. Reboot to recovery (Do I need this step?)
5. Flash GSI
6. Then reboot to system
Am I right?
Thanks for your answer.
PS.
If I flash the GSI with adb fastboot, do I need to flash the encryption disabler?
(In fastboot, I do the "fastboot flash system GSI.img")

One-time process:
1. UL bootloader.
2. Flash twrp.
3. Format user data for twrp dycript then reboot to recovery again without booting to os.
4. Flash encryption disabler boot once to os.
After this process you don't have to flash the encryption file again and again because it modifies your vendor partition for treble enable. You'll have to flash this file again after flashing any MIUI rom. If you need root in GSI you can flash this file or you can skip.
Currently, I am crDroid version 5.11 and any problems I initially had with that custom ROM before are now non-existent. The ROM seems to run a tad smoother than the RETUS Stock ROM I was using before and the internet seems like it runs faster be it on WiFi or Mobile Data considering I was able to update and reinstall apps faster than on Stock ROM. With these, I can see why people still use Custom ROMs. Prior to currently using crDroid 5.11, here's all the software (including stock roms) I have used also. If it helps, my current carrier is MetroPCS.
Metro Stock ROM: Not as smooth considering there are extra Metro apps I don't need. I also can't choose the option to turn off LTE and use HSPA. It's either use LTE or use 2G on that ROM.
RETUS Stock ROM: You can count on stability, but definitely not as smooth. Felt like I could do better, so that's why I'm looking at custom ROMs.
Lineage OS 16: There's an issue where sometimes when I lock the screen, the colors become inverted and I have to keep changing the liveDisplay settings to bring the colors back to normal. No idea how to permanently resolve this.
crDroid 5.12: Does not install properly on my phone at all. Just leads to a black screen after installation with Orangefox/TWRP.
crDroid 6.4: Phone soft bricks when I install Magisk for some reason on that software.
crDroid 6.5: No soft brick when installing Magisk on this one, but the speaker, especially at it's max volume, is too low.
Havoc OS 3.4: Does not install properly either and only boots into OrangeFox recovery with no option to Factory Reset. Might give it another shot, but unsure if Magisk will work on that one or not.
There are a few others listed on the Custom ROMs section I haven't tried, but would like to get the opinion of others before attempting to flash any of them.
Use the command "fastboot -w" in bootloader mode instead of using a recovery to factory reset to get Roms like havoc to boot.

I'll try that. Thanks. Sorry for the late reply, by the way.
Okay, so I was able to get Havoc to boot, but the problem is that I have no phone signal whatsoever on that ROM.
Hello everyone,
I am creating this post because I would like to know if someone has already installed Ressurection Remix on a Galaxy A8 ?
I saw some tutorials that are explaining this is possible,but when I go to the Ressurection Remix official download page, I cannot find which file is specific to the galaxy A8. Actually, I have some difficulties to understand the files names : Raphael, Sakura, Jason,... Are theses names code names for différents phones ?
I may add that the bootloader of my phone is unlocked, and I am using TWRP to flash zip files.
I didn't treblelize my phone thought.
If you have some other custom rom suggestions, please do not hesitate to advise me.
You can install RR through GSI, by this link
You will have to trebelize your device
Because it's a gsi android 10, you can use vendor quack
Treble Guide
Vendor Quack
Thanks for your reply. Yes I saw that it was possible to treblelize the phone, to install other rom like the very famous lineage os.
But I am little bit hesitant about this procedure : is everything working well with the phone after a treblelization ? Has anyone tried this method?

Treblizing the phone itself does not cause any problem rather it enables you to install different GSIs. Regarding GSIs, each have there own bugs and you have to find them on the GSI thread if available or if they have telegram or github support.
Hey, just made an account to respond to this as I just discovered there are per-device pages on these forums and saw this post, I have done exactly that and been running it for 2+ years now, so far I have had no majour problems wih it, the only majour caviat is that after trebblimg it and installing resurrection remix It seems to freeze when trying to display the charging animation if the phone is off and it plugged in, it still charges without any problems, tho to boot it when in this situation you need to force shut it down using the volume_down + lock buttons and then immidiately after use volume_up + lock buttons to boot into recovery, then you can boot to the normal system from there, I have a TWRP recovery but I think the stock one also allows to resume booting the normal system.
In these last months I had a few weird bugs like the screen brightness beeing locked to automatic but that went away after a reboot and only happened 1 time.
I also installed magisk and a few other small tweaks and things and everything works great, also all resurrection remix customization options.
Actually in the last few months something broke because the safetynet checks fail for the ctsProfile, (most apps like my banking app tho still work fine by using magisk hide (i think it's because the safetynet basicIntegrity check still succeds) and the update page seems also broken (tho no idea about when this broke exactly as I haven't checked it in years), everything else is still fine tho, I might try re-flashing it to update to the new majour resurrection remix when i have time and the will to backup and move everything, something could have corrupted or maybe an update broke it, no idea.
My phone reports resurrection remix 7.0.2 and Android 9.
Hope this is still helpful.
