I'm using Havoc OS now. It's very good and comes with notch compatible(gapps)
Go to guides and news tab and you see there how to install gsi roms

Whichever GSI I've installed had major lags, which made it unusable for me. Especially when opening an app from recents. Stock is the most fluid, so I got stuck with it.

Yes as you can know it is GSI not for mi a2 lite
I dont like major lags like you

New question, to install I must have RedWolf, or TWRP recovery?

Mi A2 Lite supports project treble, so it should be able to boot GSI without any hiccups. But here we are...

When you want to flash gapps dont download pico version it hasnt facelock and important things of google. download nano version
And also when you flash gapps it comes with notch compatible
If you lose your sim card signal, flash this img while on fastboot mode

before installing twrp or any modification, you have to unlock bootloader (this will erase your data but it's not important you will delete while flashing)

When i heard the 10.0.3.0 is released, i moved to that quickly

I hated the square UI on stock, so I rooted the phone with Magisk and installed Substratum. Now I'm using Pixel theme on play store it's free and awesome. No more boring colors and ugly square corners. [If you want to install a substratum theme, make sure it supports Pie, otherwise the device will bootloop ]

Hello!
So I decided to make this GSI because I had never built one and for fun.
And since it works, why not share it with everyone :laugh:
Instructions to flash:
https://www.xda-developers.com/flash-generic-system-image-project-treble-device/
What doesn't work:
Probably the same as phhusson's AOSP GSI
(If you run into problems, tell me below and include your device name. Bugs without logs will be considered a feature)
What works:
Also probably the same as phhusson's AOSP GSI
Tested on:
Redmi 5 Plus with CrDroid vendor
Download:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1flcmhPZE_OuHjZB1eDlGG_n1XEkWQDM3/view?usp=drivesdk
Do I need to flash gapps?
Yes.
Does VoLTE work?
It's reported to work apparently but I have no way to confirm this
Big thanks to @EnesSastim for getting me started with GSIs
And to @phhusson for his scripts
Enjoy the pizza!

There is a possibility that I'll make a gsi for a/b devices, but I'm focusing on other things first.
Screenshots:
What gapps do you recommend? Open gapps give me the device not certified notification
Possible to add pixel launcher ans pixel navbar ect? Thanks awesome rom.

Thanks for this amazing rom, i have an error message when boot regarding my device, Mi Mix 2S, I think was related to vendor, can you give link or file of CrDroid vendor? But that vendor I think can't work on my device, tried with 8.9.20 and 9.6.10.0 but it end in a bootlioop. Thanks.

Which custom GSI ROM works well with the stock Android pie?

I've been using Pixel experience ROM without issues until I upgraded my phone to latest pie and went back to the custom ROM. However, the fingerprint is not working on Pixel Experience again.
Any help on a working GSI ROM will be appreciated. Thanks.
Good question

Hello,
I tried AEX, Arrow, Descendant and Havoc (On android Pie)
The screen border are good only on havoc and the fingerprint work.
Fingerprint doesn't work on AEX sure. I don't remember on Arrow and on Descendant.
Here a list of the GSI Rom:

PS : Doesn't forget to flash GAPPS
I'm here if you have any question !
Sorry for my bad English,

Wich havoc version?
Worth a try? Or better stick with stock?
How is the camera?

Hello,
27/10/18 update, official download link,
https://sourceforge.net/projects/ha...0181027-GSI-ARM64-AB-Official.img.xz/download
This GSI is beautiful, there is a lot of possibility to customize with full darktheme. If you don't want to use the gapps you can, else you have to flash open gapps. Personally my two favorites gsi are Lineage OS and Havoc OS because Havoc is based on Lineage.
The Camera is the google camera, the same camera of the pixel experience rom.
If you have to install a gsi install havoc.
Pierre
The pixel experience fingerprint bug also happened to me. What i do is repeat the whole flashing by flashing stock 9.6.4.0 in edl and then flashing the gsi. Works well again. Btw im using havoc it has alot of customization and features but not so fluid

Thanks for the response. But have you tried the latest stock pie for mi a2 lite before going back to those custom ROMs. Downgrading from pie screw up the Sim 1slot. I don't know if you've noticed that.

Thanks brother. Do you mean to say Downgrading from Pie to Oreo (9.6.4.0) flashing in edl (and not fastboot) solves the fingerprint and sim1 bugs??

I tried what you said bro. From pie 10.0.2, I downgraded to 9.6.4.0 via edl flashing.
However, the Sim 1 slot does not work. I repeated same procedure flashing 9.6.9, same outcome.
Eventually I had to re-flash 10.0.2 to make the two Sims work.
Problem with flashing GSI ROM on 10.0.2 is that the fingerprint does not work. You cannot even do fingerprint registration.
In the end, I had to install the GSI (pixel experience) not minding a screwed fingerprint.
The ability to copy texts from recent apps is one cool feature of that ROM that I can't meet go

to fix sim cards you need doing some commands from PC when phone in TWRP mode:

exit

Missing LinageOS 16 :(

Dear all,
i got a new A2 lite this week and a bit surprised that there is still no lineage 16 port for daisy. I'm using LOS and CM before for years and different phones and had expacted for an stock android phone porting is very easy and comes much faster then for other phones.
So i'm a bit confused but it seems i'm on the wrong path?

Maybe because once you have a stock android with monthly updates it makes less sense to go for a probably less stable rom. Don't get me wrong, I have been using CM and RR for a long time, but i got this phone exactly because it has Android One.

Maybe ... but this is no explanation why i.e. A2 jasmin has servel more official roms like PA, Havoc, RR, Pixys and even more unofficial ....

Anyone running an Android Q GSI with Magisk installed?

Anyone running an Android Q GSI with Magisk installed? If so, can you send me the version number and region (Global, China, China Dev) of the stock ROM you are coming from? What GSI are you running and what steps did you take?
I can get Magisk to install with Xiaomi EU, but I prefer to use Pixel Experience Q. The fingerprint sensor works in almost all GSIs now, but I really need to get Magisk working so I can run ANX Camera. When I install any version of Magisk via zip or patched images I get a loop at the Mi logo. If I patch recovery I can boot into the GSI, but Magisk is not showing as installed.
Any alternate methods to get ANX Camera installed would be greatly appreciated as well. I actually don't do much with root access.

You need an A/B rom, but you can use the Treble Info app on any phone if you are ever unsure. I'm under the impression that any phone shipped with Android 9 or higher should use A/B roms because it should be system as root. Anyone correct me if I'm wrong.

GSI on MI10T ?

Hello,
Has anyone tried installing a GSI rom on MI10T?
I'm interested in getting feedback and if it works for you.
Thanks
Tried and failed. Don't know what I did wrong and I'm pretty new to this stuff so don't have that much experience. I'm sure it's possible.
TWRP for this phone doesn't support installing GSI, I bricked my phone because of it
If you tried ab that's probably why you failed - ab has different partition layout than aonly which is this device... Somebody should try aonly gsi and check...
Can you install system gsi? Because there is only a super partition in TWRP.

When new TWRP 3.5.0 gets fixed it will work good because it supports dynamic partitions properly

Yes. If you do fastboot getvar all you won't get boot slot etc which is normal on a/b roms

You seem quite knowledgeable. Is there a chance you will make a gsi flashing guide later on ? Maybe trying out some ROMs like pixel experience or havoc
