Hi, since Xiaomi decided to depreciate rom support for our mi4c, everyday i try to find a replacement firmware. But here is what i found: official lineage removed mi4c since april, last rom is 0209 because they no longer support 14.1 version. AICP lastest version is 2702, no longer update. There're many unofficial roms on 4pda, but all of them now have their support ended because the devs move to new devices. There's only Mokee that support nightly 9.0 and release 8.1 version everyday and monthly. I try to find something like "mi4c treble" but no hope, the repository is created but empty, not like mi4 that has unofficial treble support. Maybe i need to buy a new phone? But my phone is still in good condition with no problem so far... :crying::crying::crying:
Yeah, sad but true. I also gave up on new rom, so i still use the 15.1 LineageOS one (20180810). Good rom, no problems here, but wouldnt mind some security updates.
The phone works nicely though and apart from battery lasting a day, i dont see any problems. I guess we will have to move to new phone if we want to see some updates rom.
I resized device partition table in order to support android treble.
I will make custom recovery image which is support android treble.
Maybe our device is ready to support android treble by then
added
I made treble-enabled recovery image now and it works well.
I will release the solution soon.

Is that the one without vibration support?
https://gitlab.e.foundation/e/wiki/en/wikis/device/libra/install
it's a fork of LineageOS, still being updated
haven't tested it yet
This is update of lineage-16.0.

/e/ is a fork of lineage and based on lineage 14.1 for our phone, with microg pre installed. They use a different default launcher, bliss
It works well and is easy to tweak if we dont like the launcher or default apps.
Anyway since our phone is no longer maintained i've decided to build lineage 14.1 for myself.
I'll do it once or twice a month when there are updates.
If anyone need it check here :

Mokee have a good android 9 ROM, been using it for months and no issues:
https://download.mokeedev.com/libra.html
Also WJXXBSH recently published new Lineage 16 and even 17! https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=299149
I have not tried it yet, but at least WJXXBSH is keeping our device live.
how about lineage 16 from havoic 3.1 (https://sourceforge.net/projects/havoc-os/files/libra/)
At least it work fine for me on mi4c
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

Hopefully not as the developers said that as long as they have this phone working they'll keep the development going. :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
Well, I hope there will be future development for this phone too. I'm using one for more than 2 years, and battery still rocks, it sure lasts more than any flagship !
as far as i can tell, mike is working on lineage os 17.
so at least one android 10 rom might be coming soon

Yea bro same, more than 2.5 years and still i get SOT of 6-7 hours.
Whenever i think of buying a new phone, i look at my p2 and i stop. Its still so smooth cuz of the ROMS and charges under 1 hour and 15 minutes.
This phone is the best purchase i ever had. So i want development to keep going on, atleast for 1 more iteration of Android. Then i'll maybe buy Redmi K20 pro next year cuz it'll also have good development in future.
@Erazor84 that's good news brother. But I'll wait for AOSP xtended Android-10 (if it ever comes)
Bcuz i used their Oreo build and now using pie, and i found them the best among all of'em.

My guess would be at least 2 more ROMs :fingers-crossed: one from @VladSor and second from @Fullbustah as they are consistent with porting/ developing the ROMs such as Havoc, Syberia, Bootleggers and POSP for P2.
But of course, we need a reliable vendor upgrade first.
Xiaomi redmi note 4 which has the same Specs has just got lineage 17.

Generic System Image (GSI) is pure untouched Android released by Google for treble enabled phones with a designated vendor partition.
Semi GSI (SGSI) is a customized GSI with features and name of a custom ROM and it can also be installed on treble enabled phones with a designated vendor partition.

The following url https://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p2/development/rom-aosip-derpfest-t3981193 will give You access on this forum to the thread concerning AOSiP-10-DerpFest-Alpha-kuntao-20191009.zip which is the first alpha version of the first Android 10 custom rom dedicated to the Lenovo P2.
If You are interested in testing this Android 10 rom, just follow the installation instructions given on the first page of the thread.
If I well understood, I think that someone, maybe mikeioannina ?, should now be working on a Android 10 rom LineageOS 17. If this is the case, all we can do is to be patient.
You will note that from now on we must say Android 10 instead of Q as asked by Google. So, next year, the next version of Android will be Android 11 and not R.

Hello I've tried all of the versions on my KUNTAO, at the beggining very laggy now better, there are some ROMS which you can use w/out a problem if you can live w/out some of the features like the FP GESTURES OR AA CONNECTIVITY.
HAVOC 3.0 (NOT THE TREBLE VERSION) to me is the best option till this post furthermore I don't know.
CHHERS
So, We are half a year further from the last post in this thread, any news on the stability and performance of the android 10 rom's? Im right now on Crdroid Pie ROM and except fingerprint kicking the bucket everything is working flawlessly. Any stable and well performing 10 rom's out there, or should we wait a little longer?
Update: DO NOT TRY TO PAY!!! THE GUIDE IS BADLY OUTDATED. JUST USE THE RESOURCES AND FREE METHODS.
If you want to try the paid method, you should definitely get in touch with the seller first. I don't know whether the previous sellers are active or not.
If you want to inform me of something important, please `@me`, (I missed many replies in the past years)

There seems to exist a new method: It is said to work on Qualcomm devices.
First, dump frp partion, then edit the value to 1 at 7fff0, finally, flash the modified frp image. then you can use fastboot command to unlock your phone.
This new method shall work for for ODM devices like 16T, 16x, 16xs and Note9 and so on. see FRP Method.
Below is the original post:
The original post has been removed, since it's outdated and I almost finished the English version tutorial on Github.
You can see it on github.
BTW, it's really difficult to use XDA's text editor.
You can download the TWRP of 16s here
it's a start, is there anyone who has already tried a gsi?
Good news for us Meizu users! Hope this is just a first step towards some good modding ?

Sure, the new method applies to almost all devices, all versions. You can have a look at my github repository. I will edit the original post as soon as I can post links. BTW, is there any netdisk you guys use frequently? I don't know where to put the TWRP so that you can download easily.

You can use yandex.disk or google drive.
But you say about downgrade. Does the new method ignore the firmware version ?

There seems to be custom ROMs for MEIZU 16th, I've seen Lineage, havoc, and mokee before. But i don't know how do these ROMs work. Anyway, I use 16s, not 16th. Besides, I don't know how to add a new phone category.
BTW, it's said that the kernel source of the 16 series will be released, maybe next year. And there are plans to upgrade the Android version of the 16 series.

No problem. If your phone becomes a brick, you can follow the unbrick tutorial to save your phone. But you are suggested to have glance at the tutorial before you go.

Since there will be no official Android Q for our device, I hope there will be custom ROMs (ports) with Q. Especially because on s9 and s10 official Q was released already. The idea is to collect and exchange information about Android Q ROMs for s8 and s8+ .
m.
Im also waiting for any info about Q, I'm a S8 owner myself, would help with testing if necessary.
My OS is currently the RiCE 15.0, it works almost flawlessly, but I'm always into new technologies, I need only the Viper Audio in my OS, because I've got Sennheiser True Wireless Momentum headphones, and it improves simply a lot of things there for me.
And the smartphone itself is great, just the battery life could be a bit better.
Yep, I agree! We have a great HW but the battery life, at least at the stock ROM, isn't the best ... . I'm really curious about Q on s8 and I'm sure sooner or later there will be some.

yes, I have. it has some bugs like random reboots and also there is the fact that some gsis just work very well, while other don't even boot up. I have used pixel experience gsi based on Android 10 and it was overall pretty stable, stable enough for daily use.
