If you check in the guides section you will see project treble GSI's are already up and running. What more do you want there buddy?

What is that?

So project treble was an approach made by Google to make updates faster.
GSI stands for generic system image.
That means if you go to the guised and look at the project treble GSI thread, you will find room images that work on all phones that support project treble. In other words GSIs should work on all phones that support treble. Go and check it out. There are some GSI you can install.
Also project treble will make it much easier to update the phone and make custom rooms and also make them fully compatible.

Got it, that makes sense thank you. Do these GSI have the same features as a traditional custom rom? I.e. ui customization, call blocking, etc.

They do. Same as the rom when it was meant for specific models. All those features are in the system, the GSI's just use the vendor partition from the stock so hardware works right. Try them out if you are interested.

Does anyone know if Magisk v16 supports installing in dualboot patcher? I want to have two magisk rooted rooms at once. I do this right now on my v20 but my second room (lineage os) is running sipersu. Just wanted to know. Is there a way to get it to work because as far as I know magisk is not compatible with dual booting.

Dual boot patcher is not supported for this device at this time. How ever you can dual GSI with Treble support. One on slot a, and one on slot b. There is a thread about GSIs in the Razer Forum already. I suggest you read thru all of that and the Project Treble GSI forums.

You can't dual boot treble, well technically you can if you want to run the same rom on each slot. Because it is only using one data partition that each rom encryepts. If you can set the key or stop force encryption it would work. Anyone know a way to do that?

That has not worked for me, and if you wiped or reformatted with twrp you will probably hang on boot animation.
You should do it with platform tools until the devs get GSI perfected. IMO A/B and GSI treble are still new and need work.

Help with Root and safety net

Hi guys,
Hoping my noob self can get some guidance here.
Basically i followed this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/how-to/guide-stock-7-1-2-root-safetynet-ok-t3617347
But after doing so it seems that Magisk isnt working.
Is there anything i can do; installing a CROM, any work arrounds?

The Pixel doesn't use the official version of Magisk so any instructions for how to get the official version working might not apply on the Pixel. For a while if you enabled core only mode in the unofficial version the Pixel would still pass Safety Net even though the official version had stopped working. I have no idea if this workaround still works or not since I went back to stock but if you haven't tried it yet its certainly worth a try. Since the official link for the unofficial Pixel version of Magisk is hosted in the Resurrection Remix rom thread and discussion of Magisk issues frequently goes on there as well you might want to check the later posts in the rom thread and see if there is updated info regarding unofficial Magisk.

Resurrection Remix is a custom rom but there is no need to install it to use Unofficial Magisk. That's just where the official download link is hosted, probably because the dev has some link to that particular rom. But Unofficial Magisk is not included or integrated in any way into that rom--Magisk is downloaded and flashed separately from the rom and should work the same on that rom, a different custom rom or stock.
---------- Post added at 11:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:18 PM ----------
As a side note there's nothing wrong with Resurrection Remix but if you did want to give a custom Rom a try I would personally recommend Dirty Unicorns or Screwed. They aren't hosted on XDA but don't let that bother you. A quick Google search will turn up where they are officially hosted and in my personal experience they are easily the best custom Roms available for the Pixel. That said, I went back to stock so I could try Android O and have stayed on stock so far.

That's true but it's probably temporary. The devs have been notified of that bug and they are usually pretty responsive. I could actually see Google changing their code to deny the unlimited original photo backup to Pixels that are altered--i.e. unlocked bootloader, root, custom recovery or custom rom since Google has made it pretty clear they don't want people doing these things on the Pixel, but I haven't read anything that indicates Google has done this. But don't be surprised if they do it in the future.

I feel like the roms where it is working is just a matter of something NOT being changed in them and needing to find the delta but I agree I wouldn't be surprised if they look the stance of purposefully not allowing modded devices.

I'm not a programmer and can't say for sure but you might be right. I think the devs at Screwed (if I remember correctly) are the ones who say they create as lean of a rom as possible by removing useless code. They might have removed something they shouldn't have. It's still an excellent rom but that is a serious bug for people who rely on the photo at full quality backup feature and take a lot of pics.

Zenfone 5 ZE620KL Project Treble GSI Test

After days of deciding..
Yes!! i have risked my device warranty for the sake of fun and excitement. HAHA LOL
For those who asked if we can flash Treble GSI (Generic System Image) on our device. The answer is Yes, FOR ME AT LEAST!
No complicated steps or whatsoever.
I just followed the steps from this link and downloaded the GSI of my choice. CREDITS TO ALL THE DEVELOPERS WHO WORKED FOR THIS PROJECT.
https://www.xda-developers.com/flash-generic-system-image-project-treble-device/
TRY THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK! I will not be held accountable to whatever happens to your device. This post is just to prove that indeed our device is treble enabled.
Some important things to note:
- You have backup of your data
- You have a working ADB
- There might be functionalities that is not working at the moment (Read the changelogs of your GSI choice before downloading)
- The notch looks bad on these builds (Android P might be able to fix this when it arrives)
- Your device should be in stock ROM (no heavy modifications such as xposed , magisk etc..) ROOT Not needed
- You should put your device on factory reset before trying this.
I have attached some screenshots of my test.

Lineage includes a very basic camera. just photo and video no portrait mode etc..
Lineage also has no gapps, i dont have twrp to flash gapps still figuring out how to install it.
I switched to the PixelExperience rom its great and with gapps included.

Excellent job. Thank you. I understand the camera is basic, but how is image quality? Looking forward to Google Camera port tests. And perhaps the ZE620KL fully ported so can make use of the landscape camera. Not a huge deal, but would be nice, no?
As visible on screenshot, Asus Camera is properly visible in the launcher (because of being put to vendor by Asus), but does it run well?

i did experimented with it, got everything to work except the gcam no 3rd party cams. rom is very snappy and responsive but haven't don any gaming on it.
I had to work on h2os so haven't work further on this and i have exams coming up, gonna be busy till december and also fixing gcam is not my cup of tea, so if any one want to work on this i will upload the files and details regarding this.

I have already looked on this, not only this but various other similar ports, including pie ones.
The major issue is camera, which seems near impossible to fix, so it won't make sense as we already have proper Oreo and nougat ports of this rom
and pie ports(both miui and oos/h2os) won't boot on our device without proper pie vendors, which our device don't have, the treble flag is disabled on treble pie roms, enabling it causes various crashes and makes rom boots but its unusable,waiting for senior devs to fix it or any workaround.

Thanks for seeing this post and replying. I think we can count on OOS Pie coming for the OP3 soon, it has the same chipset so it should be much easier to port

No custom rom support for this device?

Is the device hard to work on or it just lacks support? There only seems to be one rom available long time now.
Theres currently lineage and aosp.
But the difference of roms for this device compared to other devices is the problem with GSI.
It requires devs to know how to build gsi roms based off phh modifications. Not to mention kernel changes and including the correct vendor partitions to play nice with the phh roms.
Not many devs in the g7 forum, i personally have nothing to work on since i dont like to build with no actual device to test since my G7 is bootloader locked.

Almost no work is needed for GSI support. If you want to install any GSIs just check out the "how to install pie" tutorial. The second part covers it.
The idea of GSIs is that it works with treble to work on any treble enabled phone. It's already build and the last thing left to do is to make sure it works. Thankfully only some small modifications were needed to get it to work

Lol if only it was that easy but with most of these phones they all need work.. phh has been adding support for most phones as he continues to update his work.
LG blobs arent very common, they will need work especially the video lag and possibly non working data or wifi.
Download the RR arm64 gsi and let me know if it fully works.

I'm 99% sure that the old versions work. I had it myself.
There's no need to rework wifi or data. It just works. LG had made their treble support pretty good. The only things that do not work is the LED and a 0.5 black screen bug after an unlock
There's no video lag.

Question GSI for red magic 8 pro

I used the GSI images from the link https://developer.android.com/topic/generic-system-image/releases but it did not work. If you use a different GSI images and it works could you please give me the link to it. Thanks.
Can you elaborate on "didn't work"?
Wouldn't flash? Flashed but wouldn't boot? I was holding out hope for this option because i think official updates will be limited.

Have you tried the "Treble Info" app from the play store? It provides links to some GSI builds. They don't seem to be as new as what you linked here.

No I did not try the "Treble info" app.
LineageOS TD-based was updated on 25 Mar with some SM8550 patches an AndyYan said "RedMagic 8 Pro/+ might want to try this out too". I saw something for audio but not sure what else. If anyone previously tried it and couldnt get Calls/Data/SMS and has success now with the updated IMGs could you post your findings?
Did your flash vbmeta.img b4 the GSI system.img?
I managed to get 3 A13 GSIs working, I think they were Lineage, Project Elixir and Nusantara. Was around 2months ago so may have not remembered correctly. But for all three of them calls and texts weren't working normally.
