Hi i'm thinking about getting this phone, How long can this device run latest versions of Android with treble ?
It does.
Can you present your question a little different? And to answer the main queation. Yes this phone does support treble 100%
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.
Hello guys,
let's start off, several month's ago i bought Nokia 7 plus just cause for a new contract with the telecom,
due to lack of community custom roms and also able to unlock the bootloader i was a bit done with this phone.
Now my question is what's a smooth, battery friendly and user friendly custom rom to flash on ?
The phone it self feels a bit slow on the stock rom but otherwise it's a great phone.
EDIT : i tried to flash LOS and the device just restart in the boot somehow..

most stable ofcource still oreo 8.1 ( LOS, AOSIP , even Google Pixel ROM ),
I have 2 nexus 5x,
8.1 google pixel rom + shadow kernel, for daily driver ( BLOD condition ), and
9.0 aosip + bitgapps + latest zest kernel for multimedia and entertainment

I have seen that happening after having a non-stock ROM installed and/or rooting it using Magisk. That seems to change the boot image and that confuses Lineage OS (I think).
I solved that by re-flashing the factory image from Google, booting the phone to TWRP recovery and flashing LOS.
Oh, and my daily driver is just Google's latest stock ROM for bullhead, so Android 8.1 rooted with Magisk and with Franco's Kernel. I like to have Xposed available which isn't available for Android Pie yet.
So after testing AOSP extended, LineageOS17, Havoc OS and even DerpFest OS, I think moto z2 (albus) doesn't do great with GSI for android 10. There always was something off and the stability was far from one you expect from a gsi. I used KVT 2.3 aroma to boot. However, there are other devs releasing unofficial GSI roms as well which I haven't tested. Like ExPressLukeGSI or Trisquel collection which probably has a special thing for albus. So I am posting this expecting replies from anyone showing love to z2 play, If you know something then tell me. If you want to test the GSIs and can't find links, ask me.
i would to try gsi but i use daily mt phone and i need to something stable at now mokee is working ok but i had a issue with calls. i never try this treble roms xd

Mokee Q or Pie? This ROM are stable?
does anyone know if they are developing a gsi or normal Android 10 ROM for Moto Z2 Albus because I have been waiting for it for a long time and I would like to ask that please continue supporting this team please
@Euiz702 GSI is not specific for some device. You can use almost any GSI on Z2 Play already now

What kind of problems did you have? I'm testing phusson's plain AOSP and so far works good. Scrolling and some apps, especially Google maps run smoother than on stock Pie. I'm using modded Google Camera 6 (shared in Apps&Mods forum), it works good, just HDR+ can't be turned off and it tends to improve reality too much. I just didn't manage to install Magisk yet.
I also wanted to try Trisquels's gsi-albus stuff, but SourceForge has been working badly recently and I wasn't able to download anything

Your are using phusson pie or 10?
10 with V2.3 kvt (btw, previous post should not be quoted )
I also tried some Pies a couple of months earlier with V7 kvt but camera wasn't working there

as for Magisk use this version: https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/releases/download/v200/magisk-phh.zip
Thanks, it worked. But I'm probably going back to stock, the battery life is pretty bad

If you want a rom with good battery life, try DescendantOS x (10). Havoc is good, but not for battery life.

I don't know and I already left. But before, my battery usually lasted for one day, now maybe half maybe a bit more.
I tried DescendantX, but it seemed a bit undone with something in status bar. But maybe I try it once more.
I also tried GSIs from gsi-albus project on SourceForge and they seem good, but they have always navigation bar on and fingerprint gestures off (doesn't matter what you select in kvt installer). So I wander whether they are really built with Albums in mind...
Can someone here help me decide whether to take the plunge or not into flashing a custom ROM on my daily driver Z2 Play, by clarifying some of my doubts.
1) Whether the Moto experiences like Moto Actions and Moto Display will be available when using custom ROMs and GSIs?
2) Will it be possible to return to stock ROM after flashing a 64bit Treble based ROM?
3) Also what is the best, most stable Android 9 or 10 based ROMs for Moto Z2 Play?

There are no stable Pie or Q ROMs for Z2 Play unfortunately. Only GSI ones that are all more or less bugged and it seems like no developer is interested in this phone anymore. For stable ROMs you can choose only from 8.1 ones which are all quite outdated at this point as well. Anyway I use unofficial LineageOS 15.1 as daily driver for like 1,5 year now and have no complaints, it's absolutely rock solid and latest release has February 2020 security patches. Moto actions, Moto display (kinda, it's different than stock) and fingerprint gestures works.
But honestly I don't think there is much point in flashing custom rom now, especially if you have stock 9.0.
Pixel experience plus on Albus
I have flashed the Pixel Experience Plus Android 10 GSI on Albus by using the latest KVT 2.4 and it works like charm.
There are no major bugs, everything is working fine like basic functions and performance is awesome.
Only ambient display is not working, other than that almost everything is working fine and this GSI can be used as daily driver.
And magisk is also working.
Did anyone tried to install Erfan's Oxygen OS GSI on Albus???

Good to hear that pixel experience is working for you. I am based in india and none of gsi seem to provide volte functionality. Can you confirm that the rom you have tried is working with volte? Please provide the source of the pixel experience gsi you have tried. i have tried Erfans gsi, its same volte doesn't work. Thanks
Ive tried Cesium Pixel Havoc. No offence but they all have major problems? I find them unuseable. Does anyone know of a rom an can share the link for a rom for RN8P that actually can be used for a daily driver.
I am about to try my luck with Globe rom an Xiaomi.EU
The only thing ive found that works but I do not like Is Miui lol?
(no good for me as tiny status bar that even with a terminal emulator cannot be improved much).
I was hoping someone would take an interest an pick up this cellphone after 6 months but has not happened yet.
The good thing about RN8P is that I have found unbricking quite easy as the bootloader seems to remain permanently unlocked till you relock it.
Just a lack of ROMs
I think you have tried out the GSI roms mentioned on this thread:
"Full Guide on how to Unlock, Root, and flash GSI to Redmi Note 8 Pro"
Did you give AndyYan's LOS v17.1 a try yet?
If I fly over the Redmi Note 8 Pro test report on the phh treble page: https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Xiaomi-Redmi-Note-8-Pro#hardware-support - it doesn't look that bad.
Unlike the custom roms even NFC seems to work. Major bug should be the camera.
I haven't installed any GSI yet because some of them use the Q vendor image. So I was too scared to mess around with it yet
My hopes rely on the custom roms.
They work hard to make progress.
I have tried AndyYan's Lineage OS 17.1 and I think that one worked the best in my experience. I have also tried Havoc OS 2.9 GSI but the battery life on that one sucked.
