pie vendor - Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers

can i get pie vendor to install sgsi dec patch if possible

to install any GSI you should simply use Oreo base/vendor, I've already seen local users have success using LOS 15.1 as base. Not sure where you got the impression that Pie vendor is necessary (if usable in this case at all).

Oreo bootloader question regarding LineageOS

Hi,
I am currently still using Android 7.1.1 and wanted to try LineageOS or any custom ROM but as they all start with Android 8.0 my question is if it is absolutely unavoideably necessary to have an Oreo bootloader in both slots to use LOS or could I use the Nougat one when everything else is from an Oreo firmware?
There are several design and general changes that I absolutely not like about Oreo so I wasn't able to stick with it.
Can the bootloader be downgraded to Nougat or can Nougat be flashed with an Oreo bootloader in case I don't like LineageOS?
Kind regards

How toUpdate Qualcomm vendor files?

Does anyone know where i could get Qualcomm's updated vendor files (sdm630) ? I'm currently on android 8.0 so installing 9.0 treble ROMs is a no go. I sort of get my phone to boot if i first flash lineage OS built for my phone but those vendor files only work properly with los.
So if anyone has an idea, or can provide me with the vendor files, please let me know.

Sadly you can't 'cause treble was added on Oreo for the 1st time. You must upgrade to android 8.x (with treble support, as not every device with oreo support treble) and than you can do "anything" you want.
The biggest problem is /vendor partition. If your OEM doesn't have added it you will have lots of troubles and you won't be able to flash any treble ROMs
The fact of the matter is that there is no way to upgrade to android 8.0. It is unlikely that a vendor will work from another phone zte 9 vite, i have zte blade A6.

Treble Android 9

Hi folks,
in this thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5/development/treble-project-treble-cedric-t3820451) it was recommended to flash a LOS 15 treble build before any GSI. (I guess this was necessary for some drivers like camera to work?)
How do you have to proceed if you want to install a Pie GSI? A LOS 16 treble build doesn't exist.
Is it even necessary and what would happen if I would just flash a Pie GSI?
Thanks in advance
You can easily flash Pixel sgsi with los15.1 there will not be any problem but for Q GSI we need pie treble so we have to wait for pie treble so then we can flash Q GSI.

GSI for 11 - Vendor vs Firmware (Redmi Note 7 Lavender)

Hello,
So I'm about to try my luck with a GSI 11 image, however, the tutorial on phhusson's experimentation repo is a bit outdated (Android 9).
I'm coming from a custom Android-10-based ROM.
So I'm wondering two things:
1. Do I need to flash vendor or firmware right before flashing the new GSI-11 image? (Yes, before this step I would have wiped everything etc.)? And if yes, which one, will vendor suffice, or do I need firmware?
2. Does the firmware/vendor IMD needs to be for Android-11? Because I see Xiaomi doesn't have an official one for 11, yet there are already custom ROMs for 11, so I assume flashing an Android-10 vendor/firmware is ok?
Thanks for your time
Hello,
If you want to try Android 11 then you can use the tutorial on phh github, and vendor can be any version (9, 10, 11), even basic from MIUI. Just not all of them are built for Android 11, which means that there will be some bugs (overlays, for example the camera may not work or rounded corners will not etc ...) When I installed Android 11, I found a well patched vendor here:
Android 11 Beta 3 Redmi Note 7 PIXEL2XL_BETA_3_PORT_LAVENDER_JS by JSPiRiT1337
Android 11 Redmi Note 7 PIXEL2XL_BETA_3_PORT_LAVENDER_JS by JSPiRiT1337 Status: Unofficial Based on: Pixel 2 XL Android version: 11 R Build Author: JSPiRiT1337 Bug: The access point does not work TWRP installation:eek:rangeFox/Skyhawk -wipes...

It's an Android 11 port but the vendor is android 10 so if you're not happy you can put Android 10 instead of Android 11
(If you try install magisk you must use phh version instead normal version, link: https://mega.nz/file/ViwRjKhK#9RIkCzPyRy_mOhHAnT_W9fuB1nv2iuxUwNqgZmANAm4) is Canary Debug version and you can easy update form Magisk XDA forum (just write in to google " Magisk Canary Debug apk")
Good luck in the installation
EDIT: you can use any version of miui firmware but after installing Android, dont update firmware because you didnt boot. (you can install newer firmware but after that you must wipe data and reflash boot/kernel and magisk.)

Thank you.
Did you only use the vendor from that particular ROM, or did you install that ROM itself. Currently debating if I wanna install GSI or a "proper" ROM. In any case I'm trying to de-google this phone (softly not hardcore), so GSI is interesting since I can install a de-googled version and then MicroG on top of it.
