P sGSI - Sony Xperia XA2 Questions & Answers

Hi, I have an xa2 as a primary device. I was wandering if anyone had flashed the android 9 oem and Los 16 and tested any generic system images? I'm only asking as the community is tiny here.

Port OP6 Android P beta to OP5T

Now that the 5t has official trebel support could it be possible for the .img of the P Beta from the 6 to be ported to the 5t with little effort? Maybe be even possible to boot without any kind of modifications if it's like a GSI.

Few questions XZ2c regarding Treble-Support

Hi all, im tempted to buy this XZ2 Compact as a secondary phone (LG V30 as main)
but i just got a couple questions befor im buying it:
Is this device part of the official Treble-Project devices? (so no need to make vendor partition myself etc etc..)
can i unlock bootloader on pie (if it already has official pie)? (dont really care for DRM as im not a camera person.)
if the above bootloader question is false answer; can i unlock bootloader on oreo then upgrade to pie? (to update vendor partition for pie GSI's (if treble supported)
Thanks in advance.

this is a A/B device, so yes it has treble, don't know if official or not, but I think it is a regular treble-phone
PIE is official, but you can't officially unlock on PIE at the moment, so you have to unlock while running oreo, then update to pie

Hi! I'm curious: Have you or has anyone else tried a GSI on the XZ2 Compact? On this Github page (1) it says the camera isn't working at all. Can anyone confirm or deny? I'm interested in getting the phone, but wouldn't if the camera doesn't work with GSIs.
(1) github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Sony-Xperia-XZ2-and-XZ2-Compact
Sorry, can't post links yet.
I have not tested a GSI, but as far as i can say, it depends on the aosp source from Sony devs.
And afaik the Sony devs pushing updates for the camera to their aosp code, which hopefully lead into a working cam in the next few releases.
But i think @MartinX3 is the more experienced guy related to this topic.

I never feel experienced enough :silly:
As far ass i know, only the sony aosp works with the Q GSI, because Q needs a new treble level.
It splits the sepolicy.
The sony aosp & its OEMv7 blobs are compatible with it.
I am not sure if the PIE stock rom has it.
But I think they will only implement it with stock Q in combination with a Q bootloader.

As to Treble, yes, the XZ2C supports Treble. https://thedroidguru.com/list-project-treble-supported-android-devices/
The bootloader is supposedly unlockable (and Sony's dev site provides for it), although I cannot comment on the consequences of doing so, such as the DRM issues with the camera.

Project treble and s9+

Hello s9+ users.
Although there is a couple 9.0 and 8.1 gsi build....there is a whole forum on xda with builds....my question is...
Will the other project treble forums builds work?
I know our phone is arm64 but some builds say arm64-a or arm64-a/b ..... what would I flash?
Thank you
I believe our phones are a only, a/b would mean they have two partitions, meaning software updates are done in the background and when you restart the phone the update is already applied on the second partition.

Android 12 GSI on Galaxy S20 (Exynos)?

Is it possible to get the Android 12 beta 1 GSI working on the Galaxy S20? Considering that it has Project Treble support, is a/b, and (theoretically) supports DSUs? I don't seem to find any videos on this. Would be great if anyone knew how to get it working.
PS: DP3 works by simply flashing on TWRP but beta 1 fails to boot. Also, the fastboot method mentioned here doesn't work for the S20.
Did you solve the problem? Did you flash the Android Beta?
