AOSP, RR Resurrection Remix, ArrowOS and others - HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion

I just wanted to point out that I have been able to boot some treble GSI on my device from different roms like AOSP, RR, ArrowOS in the treble section of XDA and some of them boot fine, but I have found some issues:
PHH PIE GSI doesn't like magisk it breaks wifi and mobile data once magisk is flashed
PHH Oreo AOSP GSI I do not remember any issues besides being too stock for my liking
RR GSI It has so many options almost comparable to what a Venom Rom would be for HTC devices
TWRP it is not able to read encryption on any of this GSIs
AOSP Oreo I don't remember if the other variants GSIs does not read exFAT formatted MicroSD (works on PIE GSI)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/project-treble/trebleenabled-device-development
I would like more users to share their experience here with GSIs
the steps I took to flash this
1. make sure you download an arm64 AB GSI image from your favorite ROM
2. go to TWRP wipe section wipe system, Dalvik cache data & internal
3. go to TWRP wipe section format data, type yes
5. restore stock Vendor.img and stock Boot.img
6. flash GSI
7. reboot & enjoy
first boot might take awhile it encrypts the device, thi is the part that makes TWRP not being able to decrypt data since TWRP decrypts Qualcomm Encryption on our device but no stock android encryption this part it is possible to fix by TWRP team and it will probably come in later

Thanks for sharing. I was planning on trying out a GSI this weekend and see how it goes. Glad it works!

I forgot to save the stock vendor and stock boot file I need these two files Can you help

Read the OP there

I tried to boot the RR img, no dice.
Backed up modified rom on slot b
Switched to slot a in TWRP, supposedly empty
Wiped system, data, cache, dalvik
Flashed prior stock vendor img and boot img
Flashed RR ab arm64 su gapps Img
Rebooted slot a
Bootloop
Interestingly, after looking 3 times, my phone booted back to slot b by itself back to stock, back up restored just fine
I realize I didn't wipe factory reset with yes

Finally got RR to to boot! It's a very finicky process. I think my problem was I kept trying to "dual" boot, Viper in one slot and the GSI in the other. Turns out it just has to be in the active slot, regardless of which slot you switch to in TWRP. Maybe that's obvious for some. This a/b partition business sure has a learning curve.
Anyway, things I noticed on RR: Lots of customization as usual for RR, very fast and smooth, screen brightness is on max all the time regardless of slider or auto brightness, and I couldn't make phone calls but texting worked. Everything else seemed to work fairly well. I love the fling navbar....on to the next one.

I'm not sure if anyone else is trying the GSI's, this doesn't seem to be a very active thread. So far I have only been able to boot RR 8.1 GSI. I have tried multiple other images without any success. I think the reason I didn't get data and calls didn't work on RR is that I am on Verizon and the HTC u12 does not have CDMA radios. Volte calling was not available on the rom. Oh well. I'm excited for the upcoming developments in the Viper forum. If anyone knows a fix for data on verizon with the GSI's, I'm all ears. Thanks

Anybody successful in making one of this ROMs a daily driver?
Sent from my HTC U12+ using XDA Labs

Resurrection Remix 8.1 is pretty stable if you are on a gsm network. I popped in a Tmobile sim card and it was pretty solid. There are some minor annoyances like the inability to adjust the brightness (always on full), though decreasing screen pixels makes it more dim, vendor mismatch message on boot, and no volte or wifi calling. There may be some other small things like with the camera and bluetooth but I didn't keep it for long as I am on Verizon and don't get data. I could see using it as a DD though. There are probably ways to fix the annoyances I mentioned.

Have any of you tested this version of RR on U12+?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...0-resurrection-remix-v7-0-arm64-32-b-t3891636
For example, face recognition, 4k camera mode, slow motion recording, 3D sound, AudioFocus, bokeh mode etc.?

Not able to install any custom ROM in OnePlus 5T

Hello Guys,
I need help regarding the issue that I'm facing. What happens is ROM get installed properly without any error but not boots up. It get stuck at boot animation screen. I tried lots of ROMs including DOT OS, C droid, AICP, TOXYC OS. Facing the same issue to all of the ROMs. I followed the below steps to install.
1. Download the ROM file
2. Download the GApps.
3. Booted into TWRP Recovery Mode.
4. Backup done (optional)
5. Wipe all the 4 partitions except Internal Storage.
6. Then install the ROM file and followed by GApps
7. Installation successful for both ROM & GApps.
8. Reboot.
I tried installing the ROM only but result was same.
I'm currently running on Oxygen OS Open Beta 10.
PLEASE HELP. THANKS IN ADVANCE.
Which TWRP do you use? Personally, I recommend this one by codeworkx: https://sourceforge.net/projects/ch....1-0-20180309-codeworkx-dumpling.img/download
Some roms require you to be decrypted; others don't. Most roms require the latest firmware (5.1.3) to be flashed before the rom, gapps, etc. Read the installation instructions carefully. Use the recommended firmware and gapps package linked to the rom. Before you start flashing roms, you should wipe your phone in fastboot mode: fastboot format userdata. This will wipe your phone clean; all your data will be gone. So, backup all your data to your PC before proceeding. After format, reboot directly to TWRP and move your firmware, rom, gapps, etc. to internal storage; follow the flash order and procedures exactly as outlined for the rom you want to try.
I tried installing latest TWRP (3.2.1-2) for my OnePlus 5T but no luck. Please suggest.

In twrp, when you go in the wipe tab, there is a "format data" button. It will wipe the data and internal storage partitions and remove encryption. But don't worry, depending of the ROM you flash it will encrypt again.

Did you check the module settings ? You can tweak some stuff.
Or maybe it didn't works because of Lineage (but it should, idk why not), but you can try aosp extended, which is closer to aosp.

I tried AOSP Extended before a week ago. Everything was working fine except headphone Jack. Sound was not coming in my earphones. Sound from speaker grill was coming, even I tried with connecting to Bluetooth speaker, that's also working fine. The only issue I had with that headphone Jack.
Please suggest if you have any solution for that then I'll surely try it again.
Thanks

Treble Pie GSI Sprint LS998

I no longer have the V30 i now own the V40 this guide should still work tho
I didn't want to clog up the other thread so here goes.
First you want to follow this guide
You have to fix Device not Certified in order to download anything from the Play-store no matter what gapps package you use (Except for in Havoc-OS),
I personally use the Fire Gapps, which happen to also include a audio mod....so 2 birds one stone.....
For the Launcher that you see in the screen shots I'm using Pixel Experience Launcher option 2 from Magisk
And for the app icons i'm using Omoro these are not free but look amazing.
I'm currently using Havoc-OS 2.0 and Benzo Rom 9.0
Here are my steps for having a 99% stable working GSI Rom
1. Wipe everything except for storage.
2. Flash 9.0 Pie GSi.img
3. Flash gapps.
4. Restore Boot and Vendor Partitions from working Treble LineageOS 15 back up.
5. Reboot and see if it works.
6. Go back into twrp and flash anything else.
7. Use the following APN settings to get 4GLTE you will notice "4G+" when getting your fast speeds (i have added a few edits to the APN from the V40)
Name : Sprint
APN : x.ispsn
Proxy : Not Set

The only things I flashed afterwards were the Fire GAPPS that you recommended, Magisk, and the Magisk module to fix the unverified device problem. That is it.
Just a quick question, what format is your /system/ partition?

[GUIDE] How to flash Android 9 Pie (PixelExperience, Havoc OS etc.)

Hello fellow XDA members and flashaholic people! This is a guide about flashing sGSI or GSI (semi-GSI) Android Pie images on VINCE.
This guide is for VINCE only! Please don't try it on WHYRED it may work or it may not.
First you need to treble enabled custom recovery. I suggest OrangeFox V8.1 https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-5/development/official-orangefox-recovery-project-t3807479
You can either flash it via TWRP or extract zip and flash recovery img by fastboot method.
Second you need treble enabled custom Oreo ROM, I suggest Cardinal-AOSP as it's vendor.img works flawlessly. https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-5/development/rom-cardinalaosp-t3774232
And third step includes the GSI image. You can find several GSI's here; https://forum.xda-developers.com/project-treble/trebleenabled-device-development
After downloading .zip file from any ROM you wanted extract it to get its system image and move it into the either internal storage or SD card. [SYSTEM IMAGE ONLY NEEDED]
I tried Pixel Experience 9.20 and Havoc OS 9.18 builds both booted without issues.
Please note that you need GApps package for ROM's (Except PixelExperience) you can find them here; https://opengapps.org/ Suggested package is Nano one. But if you want more you can go for bigger packages. I always use Mini version of it.
Steps to get Pie working on our device:
1. Reboot to custom recovery (if you have) flash OrangeFox R8.1 treble-enabled recovery. [If you have already have OrangeFox Recovery skip this step]
2. Touch Wipe and wipe /system /data /cache /dalvik and format /data
3. Flash cardinal-aosp ROM to your device You do not need to install GApps as we are going to use Pie anyway.
4. After flashing reboot to system it will directly go into launcher without setting stuff up. Reboot your device to recovery again.
5. Touch install, touch install image and flash the system image you've extracted. Wait for it to complete.
5.1 If you installed other than Pixel Experience please install proper GApps right after. [IF GAPPS WONT INSTALL BOOT THE DEVICE INTO SYSTEM FIRST AND WHEN BOOT COMPLETED PLEASE REBOOT RECOVERY AND FLASH GAPPS IT WILL WORK] After GApps installed go to wipe and do a factory reset in recovery. Reboot the device into system.
6. After you set up your device there is several optional operations you can do;
6.1 Root: You can use Magisk v17.1 or above to get root access. [Flash via recovery, if Magisk app wont appear in app menu you can install it from apkmirror safely]
6.2 Modules: Magisk modules like V4A, Unified Hosts Adblock etc. works. [Tested].
6.3 Kernel: You can use Genom Kernel or Dark Ages Tercero kernel. [Tested Dark Ages Tercero, works]
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND I DO NOT DEVELOPING ABOVE GSI IMAGES OR HELPING TO DEVELOP. IF YOU HAVE ANY BUGS TO REPORT PLEASE REPORT IN PROPER FORUM POST. I CAN HELP ABOUT INSTALLATION ONLY.
Ah, and there is few screenshots i'll share (Pixel Experience 9.0):

Since i did not have any problems about lag or freeze dont need to flash it. Though im not sure about VoLTE but it seems broken for me too. I still wait for official or unofficial Pie ports (which even redmi 2 and 3 got)

Any other bug or issue that you've found in the ROM? Camera problems? Bluetooth or Wifi's MAC changing or reverting to 00:00:00...? Battery drains, memory leaks, crashes? GPS problems? anything?

In few hours of usage i did not encountered very-serious level bugs. Battery was fine and didn't seemed like to draining. Bluetooth and WiFi had no issues for me either. Only VoLTE doesnt works and as may you know thats global issue on it. Did not faced any mem-leaks or running out of memory problems, with freshest install it used up to 1.3 GB mem and with some apps like social ones it went up to 1.6 to 1.9 GB but ROM was overall butter smooth without single lag or freeze. No FCs either, GPS works i guess it was enabled by default on fresh install as usual but since im not using the GPS that much i did not tested it fully though.
As you can guess those are still experimental/beta builds could have issues that i did not encounter. But overall was very fine for me. I'd keep it but it kinda messed "about phone" settings as it goes manufacturer and model both goes by unknown or phh-treble. It's very natural since i installed as GSI image but still bothered me.
Almost forgot; In Havoc OS settings goes direct crash if you touch battery in settings. PE works fine but it has problems with Dark theme beign not applied correctly. Also i did not used or tried substratum or its themes.
Thank you for your instructions. I wanted to install a GSI 9.0 ROM since Pie came out, but other threads with instructions were too complex or convoluted that I thought it was harder.
I would like to make some clarifications on your steps:
* I used the unofficial PixelExperience 9.0 GSI image, as you said. It feels and behaves almost exactly as the official PixelExperience build for our device, but with nicer interface. The image is HERE. Just as a sidenote, the System image comes with DPI = 360, things look a bit too big. To make it look like MIUI or the official PixelExperience build for vince, a dpi of 390 should be set (this can be done from settings > System > Developer Settings > Minimal Width, under the "draw" section).
1. Reboot to custom recovery (if you have) flash OrangeFox R8.1 treble-enabled recovery. [If you have already have OrangeFox Recovery skip this step]
2. Touch Wipe and wipe /system /data /cache /dalvik and format /data
* At this step, I had to make "Format Data", and only then reboot to recovery again, and make the wipes to all other partitions. Without rebooting the wipes weren't possible (it was showing errors while trying to mount partitions). VENDOR PARTITION SHOULD NOT BE WIPED
3. Flash cardinal-aosp ROM to your device You do not need to install GApps as we are going to use Pie anyway.
4. After flashing reboot to system it will directly go into launcher without setting stuff up. Reboot your device to recovery again.
At this point, you must check that the hardware works correctly. Touch, screen, audio, BT, wifi, RIL, LTE or whatever you use. If something doesn't work at this point, it won't work after installing the GSI image.
5. Touch install, touch install image and flash the system image you've extracted. Wait for it to complete.
* In OrangeFox, at this point before flashing the GSI's .img file, the recovery asks for the type of image. For noobs and careful people, "System Image" must be selected before proceeding.
5.1 If you installed other than Pixel Experience please install proper GApps right after. [IF GAPPS WONT INSTALL BOOT THE DEVICE INTO SYSTEM FIRST AND WHEN BOOT COMPLETED PLEASE REBOOT RECOVERY AND FLASH GAPPS IT WILL WORK] After GApps installed go to wipe and do a factory reset in recovery. Reboot the device into system.
6. After you set up your device there is several optional operations you can do;
6.1 Root: You can use Magisk v17.1 or above to get root access. [Flash via recovery, if Magisk app wont appear in app menu you can install it from apkmirror safely]
* When installing Magisk through recovery, the framework will be installed, but the APK won't appear in the app list. It must be downloaded separately from https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/manager-v6.0.0/MagiskManager-v6.0.0.apk
The following modules are working without issues in my setup:
* Youtube Vanced
* Google Product Sans font
* MagiskHide Props Config
6.2 Modules: Magisk modules like V4A, Unified Hosts Adblock etc. works. [Tested].
6.3 Kernel: You can use Genom Kernel or Dark Ages Tercero kernel. [Tested Dark Ages Tercero, works]
Cast and mirror screen are broken. After choosing a screen to share the phone's screen to, SystemUI will crash. Apps with cast capabilites won't detect Chromecast devices (the cast button won't appear).
Thank you for your help

I don't know what is "MagiskHide Props Config" but is MagiskHide working normally for you?
I'm currently using the Pie "V4 zip" from this thread but MagiskHide isn't working. If it is working normally for you I will try to flash in your way then.
And can I flash 9.0 GSI image over any 8.x roms? Or it must be PE or Havoc?
Can't Show the Image File
After extracting the Hovac OS GSI file (a link that given) can not show Image file it shows file different files in different formats.

This is the correct link, you don't downloaded gsi file (I did the same thing, currently running Havoc 9 ):
https://sourceforge.net/projects/havoc-os/files/arm64aonly/
sadly i can't flash pie rom because my phone is encrypted. i will try this someday, once i backup my files and do the full format (including internal storage)
i want to try PE pie
Biggest thanks to you as i was in dilemma to try the PE 9.0.
However, the stock camera is so dark so i installed Camera2API, resulting the camera app FC, installed the crashfix Gcam apk i found somewhere in this thread not so long ago to no avail, the camera is still broken. Anyone having the issue ?
TIPS: I tried both Dark Ages and Genom Kernel, the brightness is crazy, i think its the late display driver provided within it: the brightness level is scaled incorrectly, with the 50% on MIUI is 0% in PE, and 50% in PE is equal to 100% of MIUI (the max brightness is at 50% and sliding all over to the right does nothing); clean flashed the whole thing and not using custom-installed kernel at all.

MagiskHide Props Config" its a module that replaces the ROM's fingerprint with a certified one. This way you get ctsProfile: true and basicIntegrity: true, thus passing SafetyNet. This combined with MagiskHide allows me to use some apps that rely on SafetyNet.
After flashing the Treble-enabling ROM (Cardinal OS) you can install GSI system images based on Oreo or Pie.
Is hotspot working in PIE GSI?

seems like i need to do a format data in recovery. but right now i cant afford to loose all my files in internal storage. once i back up all my file then i will do the format data.
i wish there is some way to decrypt my storage without formatting
btw, i got my storage encrypted because i flashed miui stable rom
it's work but hotspot doesn't work
in cadinal i already check it's work but in gsi have a problem
And.. what If I installed a Treble ROM and I want to go back to stock MIUI, or a non-treble ROM? What should I wipe before going back?

collection rom Gsi 9/10 for realmeQ/5pro

Hello !!!
Gsi Rom for realme Q
This is the best version for realme Q.Works well, but fingerprint error, hope someone can fix it
Installation Instructions:
1. Download the GSI from the links above, and uncompress it.
2. Wipe Data, Dalvik, and Cache,system . No wipe vendor
3. Remove Magisk if it was previously installed, by using its uninstaller script. Magisk files are stored in the kernel image, and in the /data/adb folder, which are left untouched when wiping data and flashing the GSI. Another option is to flash your stock rom and manually delete the content of the /data/adb folder.
4. Flash the GSI to system partition (AB devices : flashing a vbmeta.img file for your device may also be required).
5. Boot and perform a factory reset.
6. (Optional) Reboot and flash Magisk, and maybe additional files.
7. Reboot and Enjoy.
If you want to update rom, you can also always try to dirty flash, i.e. wipe Dalvik and Cache (not Data) and flash System image. But if you experience a strange behavior, a clean flash may be required
Note : if flash Gapps you need resize system in teamwin,then flash gapps
Which vendor to use?
1. Always use your actual device's vendor
2. Always use OEM unmodified vendor, not some custom vendor
3. This includes boot.img. boot.img and vendor MUST BE the same version.

Great, found your thread on telegram, this is what I need, I am fed up with Color OS
It's not half bad but there are two major problems with the ROM. First it seems it can't read exfat 128 GB as card which is a shame for I won't format it to inferior fat32 to lose all my stuff. Second, whenever I set a screen lock, no matter what kind of it'll tell me that I entered incorrect code. Means I cannot lock the screen with any kind of security measure. I could solve the external as card issue by flashing lineage os boot.img but I couldn't the screen lock issue. Aside these I have no problem. Testing other gsi ROMs.
Edit.: No. Screen lock isn't rom but vendor issue. I accidentally wiped vendor partition before flashing the image.

I just noticed that I didn't wipe vendor either. It's not even in the wipeable section if you try advanced wipe. For some reason if I go from one gsi to another lock screen password/pattern will not work. I have to flash stock zip first, then wipe data, system, cache, davlik and at last flash gsi image. Between going from one gsi to another you have to do this in order to keep lock screen password function. Right now I'm struggling with Magisk Safetynet. Any good method to bypass?

I realized that. Today I tested android Q on realme Q, it worked. I cannot set the screen password, the system only allows swiping. I am looking into this problem.

Flashing stock vendor img solved the issue on my device. Although I tried AOSP Pie not Q.
update android 10 and permissiver for andoid 10
Update Installation Instructions .
Hi, awesome thread, congrats to you @29y6145.
I see now that you added two more ROMs, the AOSP10 and the MSM-Xtended 9. Any of them are more stable than the others? I was looking for stability in the entire OS and Camera that any other thing.
By the way, Why you remove the links to TWRP and Permissiver_v5?
I installed the Resurrection Remix 7.0.2 and see that doesn't have Magisk by default. I should install Magisk via your TWRP built-in Magisk installer or from the official Magisk website?

What is exactly the name of that Magisk's Safety module that you mentioned?
I searched in Magisk and only found hackintosh5's SafetyPatch and Didgeridoohan's MagiskHide Props Config.
Is any of them?
My realme Q device has unlocked BL and installed TWRP, while using lineage oS 16 Android P, how to refresh this Android Q GSI image? Is it refreshed directly with TWRP REC?
@TrancyMeng.
*Any ROM in IMG format should be flashed trought Fatboot, but you need to wipe the other installation first, in adb run this to enter in TWRP:
adb reboot recovery
Then in TWRP:
*Wipe > System, Data, Cache, Dalvik
*Reboot > BootLoader (Fastboot)
Then in Fastboot/Bootloader run this command:
fastboot flash system romNAME.img
Reboot to recovery/TWRP and flash:
Permissiver_v5.zip
After refresh the Andrews Q GSI ROM, why the speaker will have a current sound, and call and play the local media file will not. How to troubleshise the patch to do it? Can you trouble with you to provide a patch for the repair sound?

i found this recovery in msm extended telegram chat.
the installation did not format my data since i have all my apps working and i can see the entire internal storage when i connect the phone to pc.
I have this recovery on my device for a later time in case I decide to move away from OOS so I can't speak to experience...BUT:
My understanding is due to decryption/recovery on this device the chinese recovery will work BUT the limitations are that if you are on OOS currently you cannot decrypt storage, HENCE you will not see anything in TWRP (again that is my understanding). After backing up the device and wiping the data partition at minimum (most custom roms seem to require us to fastboot wipe our partitions from instructions ive read)... then we can use this version of recovery for custom roms.
I think the major difference between this one and the official version here is of course the unofficial nature of this twrp but also the chinese twrp will let you flash (not boot) the recovery image without issue so we can still USE OOS OR flash custom roms without things going...wrong?...I plan to wait until the A11 OOS upgrade before I make a decision. After learning about how 1P botched the recovery keys + partition issues with the A10 launch I think its just better to see how development goes AFTER the new year maybe
Hmm l was of the understanding that if you format using the chinese recovery all will work on oos will see what's what and report back as soon as l find it and flash it
So flashed Chinese twrp couldn't mount data until l formatted data using it then l could see everything in storage but it reverted after a reboot and would need formatting again to see storage also it seems much more functional that the mauronofrio twrp but the decryption issue is still an issue for me at least. It's ashame nobody is working on this to give us a better twrp.

What's "this"? And what do you mean nobody?
Check twrp gerrit and github and you'll see lots of progress. Fastbootd has been implemented, and dynamic partitions are pretty much handled now. Only significant thing would be decryption, but let's hope Android 11 fixes this as Google once again has changed things regarding to keystore.

Ok l stand corrected just wondering why mauronofrio hasn't released an update or updated his thread. So OnePlus have to implement changes to keystore with Android 11 so they might fix it ?
