GSI - Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers

I just recently know about GSI (Generic System Name). So, I'm wandering if Google drop support for Pixel device, we still can have stock android via GSI right? And why didn't ROM developer just resolve to use this method? I am a dumbass, please educate me!

because gsis are ****, use roms that are actually tailored for your device, not hard to flash

@aL_09
Start going in these telegram groups that are linked in some of the ops where our roms are. Google search "Marlin afh" and check out what's out there. There are still a few people building for Marlin. And we have LOS17 and Pixel Dust 10 that are active and some bad ass pie roms that aren't that old... You can use GSIs. I've flashed a few but all the ones I've tried seem to have issues with ril and have SIM card unavailable and no data and I haven't found a work around yet. But I just started crackflashing GSI's on this device.. If and when I find some solid ones I'll shoot you a message. But download telegram app and subscribe to the devs on our rom sections groups and look around from time to time. You'll find some good stuff!

Hey there!
Because Android 11 Beta 1 was released yesterday there are new GSI builds available. The OG Pixel XL is supposed to support GSIs. Can you explain me how I flash that onto my old Marlin (Pixel XL) device?

You should be able to find the information that you're looking for here https://developer.android.com/topic/generic-system-image/releases#android-gsi-11
If I were you I'd wait. While there's no guarantee I'm pretty sure android 11 roms will be available at some point made for the XL. The Pixel XL is an A/B partition device. Just always make a backup and transfer it on to a thumb drive or your computer before you start installing anything and always have your factory image handy and know how to use fastboot and adb so you can recover if something goes wrong. This whole Android thing is all about reading and searching. Just installing things without knowing what's really going on and how to recover is risky and I would not suggest it.

I actually checked out that thread already. I followed the link what to do when the partition size isn't big enough initially. But it didn't work for me. So I guess you're right. I shouldn't flash the GSI and instead wait for Android 11 builds for Marlin. <3

Gsi don't boot on marlin
Also marlin not caf devices either
Join lunarixus chat on telegram and few build for marlin,sailfish,taimen

what's with the lack of custom roms?

The Moto z play had plenty of developers dedicated to it but this has practically nothing. Is there a reason for that or did no developers buy this phone?

They're out there, google 'nash' roms and you should be able to find them. Some don't get posted here per XDA's request, the developer's, and/or both? Not sure what which is the case, but they're out there. I think they might be gearing more for treble and pie which isn't official on either side for us at the moment. With an official pie update in the future I'm sure some are hoping that'll fix some annoyances that have not been completely ironed out on the stock and custom side.

If you do a google search, there is not that many for this device.. The roms that are available can be found here on XDA, (not many). Only other one I know of is Dirty Unicorn, which I have ran already for a while..

Mokee is the only other one I could find. LOS 16 on Android file host runs really nice but it stopped getting updated around the end of September.

Official LineageOS is treble enabled. Flash it, let it boot once, wipe data and flash the GSI of your choice.

Is there more ROMs?

I recently purchased an tab S4 just an update from my previous Samsung tablet. I was wondering is there more ROMs for this tablet or ROMs currently in development? I noticed theres like 2 ROMs for this tablet. I have a note 8 and I'm currently running deluxerom on and it, and I really enjoy the tweaks and customization I'm able to do. I was looking for a same kind of feature for my tablet. Would greatly appreciate the answers I'm looking for. Thanks!

Pretty much zero support. You can get a few 9.0 GSI ROMs to boot, but they all have issues. Mine has been sitting around since it was purchased while still using my old 2014 model.

Aww no way!? Really? I excitingly got this tablet cause of the features and thought perhaps there would be amazing ROMs for this particular tablet, but I guess not xD What are GSI ROMs? Also as a desperate attempt would other tablet ROMs work on this s4? Thanks mate!

I had thought the same thing, but it seems the S3 is the last tablet to get real support.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/project-treble/trebleenabled-device-development
Some of the ones for 9 will work, but most features won't work too well, if at all.
You might be able to get another rom to work, I know I had no luck. Even trying ones with similar hardware, they all failed to even flash since the booting numbers are different.
Kind of have to be satisfied with Samsung, half baked custom roms or sell the thing.

Hey Veekay I tried it and you're right unfortunately I came across the same issue as you brother
Now I'm stuck and I need help sorting my device out, was wondering if you knew this issue or could help?
When I got the stock firmware back and then when I flash TWRP with odin after going into TWRP I get 0mb as internal
so when I format and then go back into my load up the screen after SAMSUNG says "verification failed" and then reset
on the bottom. I tried other options as well. Without even wiping on TWRP the devices boots up into the setup wizard for the firmware fine
but after I wipe TWRP so I can get access to my internal drive my samsung boots into that verification reset screen. Got any clue as to how I can
resolve this issue? Thanks a bunch!

Have you tried just reloading the latest stock firmware from scratch?
Yup, its unfortunate that there isn't much community support for this device. The Tab S4 is Project Treble supported and a few GSI ROMS do work. But as others have said they are unstable and not for use as a daily driver. We have a few discussion threads here talking about them.

Would that work? If I did that I would still be able to download and install TWRP and have a root? Because of it being PIE

Generic System Image (GSI) list :
https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Generic-System-Image-(GSI)-list
you can try only "Android 9 Pie" official or unofficial gsi roms..
and remember ! Some GSIs roms maybe are not compatible with some devices! you can ask for your device on each thread
(for example look here): https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/issues/777
(usually this Gsi aosp 9 phh, generally works on most devices...BUT! ask first,and discuss it in the thread)

Sorry,but I don't understand what do you mean " without stock rom and only twrp"...
you can install a Gsi rom, with two ways
Via TWRP, or Via Fastboot : https://www.xda-developers.com/flash-generic-system-image-project-treble-device/ (Tab S4 is a-only arm64)
for any other question, it is better to ask in the thread : https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...vice-development/aosp-9-0-phh-treble-t3831915
(read carefully in OP & you can post,every single question there for your device,and you will get certainly help from the developer or from any other user..)

You are going to have to just wipe it and start over from square one, unless you made a TWRP backup before starting all of this.
Download and flash the latest stock rom from recovery and then you can load twrp again.
I was looking at the possibility of using GSI's on some devices, and while they can offer new life to older devices, they're not entirely stable all the time unless you're willing to make your own changes. I know Lineage has made some excellent progress, but it's not fullproof yet and I wouldn't try it unless you're willing to not use your device as a daily use device.
I had an extra T-Mobile Revvlry which is basically a rebranded Moto g7 Play that I installed the Lineage GSI image and it works fairly well. However, this is more the exception to the rule and Moto devices, I feel, are far simpler in design vs certain Samsung devices. It also had a ton of trial and error involved for me to get it up and running properly.
Is it possible as the s4 becomes older, more people buy it and Samsung stops releasing official updates that someone will come along and create a ROM for it? Or is it more like Samsung locked the bootloaders and its close to impossible to write a ROM for it? Is it still possible to root the s4?

Thanks. I took a quick peak at the roms and kernels in the roms and kernels forum and they are pretty much all abandoned.
Someone did mention that the LOS 16.0 and ArrowOS GSI's work alright but are a bit buggy.

samsung,maybe at the end of july to give the upgrade to android 10....it is very likely to happen I think
yes,all Gsi Roms still have various problems unfortunately...
my opinion is: stay to stock rom for now....you can "uninstall" many applications if you want & without root, via "samsung package disabler"(paid) from playstore, or with this way:
https://beebom.com/how-remove-bloatware-android-without-root/
also,you can Install "NiceLock Downloader Companion App" ,to add some features on your device : https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-9/themes/nicelock-module-download-links-module-t3923844
with this way I operate my device until now..

really small amount of custom roms

Hey
I was just wondering why there is not that many custom roms.
I come from a pocoophone and there was nearly daily new roms .
- not a lot of devs have this device
- people that do have this device don't have resources to build
- check telegram, there are roms, just ask around

No hype, no sales, no development.
I bet OnePlus 6/6T is having more ROMs
Kind of wondered the same thing, also coming from a pocophone. I had planned to go custom, but now question if it is even worth it as there seems to be little support. I haven't run non-aosp on a phone in forever.

Also curious how you find these groups - only thing I know when it comes to telegram is clicking on a link to a chat.
Found a group, but of course no links to the chinese twrp. Only links I have found are on weibo and just end up looping around
Other people will disagree but having no working twrp is a big factor. Let's see what happens when OnePlus release there android 11 mash up maybe we will have twrp working and more interest ?

This TWRP works fine for flashing and decrypting on custom ROMs. So it's not that.
And Android 11 will not magically fix everything, if anything, it'll break things like encryption even more.
TWRP is has lots of progress as of late, fastbootd tools has been implemented, dynamic partitions are better handled. Only significant thing left would be ADB sideload.

The decryption is broken because of OnePlus poor implemention of keymaster. Android 11 is once again changing keymaster which will break decryption even on devices that can successfully decrypt on Android 10. This means it will take time for TWRP to properly support decryption on Android 11.
When that happens, decryption might work for 7T/Pro because now OnePlus has to reimplement the new keymaster,. hopefully right this time.
As for flashing ROMs, just use adb push on your PC and push it to /cache or /mnt, then you can flash easily.

I am pretty sure you can just use WSL / 2 on Windows if you don't have Linux installed.
Everything has been built and shared over the last year. Name a rom. It's been built already. If you want more android R roms, just wait they're coming. But... Twrp works fine. Even on oos. Use LR Team Twrp (aka chinese twrp) it works perfectly. Flash away or what knot, I have never heard anything about a broken keymaster. that's the first I heard of that one. Flash whatever, build whatever, enjoy phone fun.

It absolutely does decrypt on oos. One must do a full format in twrp first. Then it works perfectly, every feature, 100%. Yes, I did du for 7t in December last year, or January.

Android Auto on whyred?

Has anyone managed to get Android Auto to connect to their vehicle on their whyred?
I bought a new car last week and have been unable to get it to connect. Meanwhile my friends Blackberry KeyOne and iPhone both activated AA/Carplay immediately like they were supposed to.
I'm running Lineage 17.1 latest build, but I did see folks were having trouble with it a couple years ago. I was just hoping the situation had improved since then. I just updated the fw files from the Xiaomi firmware project and will try it again, but sadly I'm not hopeful.
If it does work for some of you, what rom are you using?
Thanks!

Problems with GAPPS I guess. Update both, car HUR and phone (gapps, Androidauto, play store,etc).
It's suppose to work normaly.. you can test it with MIUI ROM. You will need to delete LOS anyway if you wanna update FW the correct way (latest Fastboot MIUI ROM using PC).
Good luck and stay safe.
P.S.: I don't use gapps, to much troubles, and not privacy friendly and battery/data eater.

Problems with GAPPS I guess. Update both, car HUR and phone (gapps, Androidauto, play store,etc).
It's suppose to work normaly.. you can test it with MIUI ROM. You will need to delete LOS anyway if you wanna update FW the correct way (latest Fastboot MIUI ROM using PC).
Good luck and stay safe.

What is the vendor security date of your device? (Unless its newer than Nov 1 2018 I'm already running the newest available vendor update and firmware.) The xiaomi firmware project updates the exact same files that the MIUI builds would.
Latest open gapps, android auto, etc are all installed. Headunit is updated to the latest version of Entune 3.0. The problem isn't the head unit. It's the phone. Old reports on here suggest it never worked with MIUI either. I was just curious if anyone has tried recently to see if the situation changed. I have zero desire to run that mess that is MIUI. It was bad enough using it long enough to get my bootloader unlock key. When you plug in the device you're presented with a menu on LOS that doesn't exist on other devices. (File Transfer, PTP, MIDI, Do Nothing). None of them do anything, so it appears that the MTP built into lineage doesn't know what to do with the connection.

It's not LOS fault, it's car HUR or GAPPS(androidauto,..) fault.
Something is wrong in communication. I have 2nd device with LOS + GAPPS and all is working in my car HUR.
God luck and stay safe!

You're leaving out a lot of necessary information, like your build of gapps and what your second device actually is. I have no doubt LOS works fine with Android auto on other devices, but I have yet to see any proof of it working on any whyred anywhere. You're just making assumptions and jumping to defend LOS without any proof whatsoever. You're ignoring the part where every post regarding AA on whyred posted on this forum in the past refers to it not working. It may not be LOS' fault in particular but it very well could be the device firmware never working with AA at all.

Ok ok I have 2 whyred devices(2nd has smashed screen, i leave it connected in car)...hope that makes sense now
Let me simplified this... whyred and android auto is working! Yeah you need to hasel a bit but its working, at least in my Nissan OEM HUR from 2019. You just need to find right GAPPS version. I think its from feb. 2020, anythig newer breaks androidauto. Than just freeze all google stuff or it will update and breaks again. I cant remember all details couse it's too long ago I did it. Sorry, but you'll need to experiment by yourself.
Ahh almost forget...my FW is 10.0.3 I think. Not the latest.
Good luck and stay safe.
It's a big gapps problem and not about the devices. I am on redmi note 4x and have the same problem. My whyred have too. All original devices work. And my mido work before too. Its all about gapps.
I am very much thankful for all developers here but please don't talk its fixed. Its not especially on android 11 builds. There is non fully working gapps out just betas talk work but not. I have many devices. I flash and hundreds of others cellphones.
For all people search. Help to develop or wait for a right gapps build and report to all.

General [WIP] Porting LineageOS 20 to the Oneplus 11

We all know the path OnePlus/Oppo went with development, MSM Tools and all, and I want to make it clear and short : I'm going to work on this phone no matter what. The OnePlus 10 series were a failure in this regard and I don't want the OnePlus 11 to experience the same.
I've been in this space for quite some years now, since Xperia X10 times and Android 2.3, and my last device has been a OnePlus 8 Pro that have provided me great service. Sadly, the battery is slowly dying and I can't bring myself to purchasing a phone I cannot tamper with. I've always loved OnePlus and I have hard times considering anything else.
If you're a developer, just wave at me using this thread. We need to know each other and work together to bring something to this phone. The obvious path would be to at least get a TWRP and a basic kernel built. I absolutely want to get to a LineageOS build.
If you're not a dev, but you have deep understanding on how fastboot, bootloader, and all else means, you can be a tester. I haven't bought the OnePlus 11 yet but I'm going to work on it and acquire it if some of you follow me.
If you're nether of these, you can still share the thread to other people to raise awareness.
I'll likely create a Telegram conversation if we get to a few devs. If you're interested in working on the OnePlus 11, please post a reply
@dekefake I've changed the prefix of your thread from "Development", for which it doesn't qualify, to "General"; do not revert that! Prior to your next posting, please read all announcements and guidances that are stuck at the top of every forum like

PS6IMG_PERF[email protected]60331.4_41.13_F_release_477358_combined_signed_2_4.zip...

For example, you'll certainly easily recognise that only threads with own development qualify for the prefix "Development", and this doesn't apply to this thread.

Are you sure TWRP would be necessary? We don't have it on the pixel 6 pro but the rom community is still large
Fingers crossed!
Adb sideload coop with OnePlus again!

Not necessarily... It's still better and more practical without pc. But adb is good also

Yes that's true, TWRP isn't really necessary anymore, but I feel like this small step would be quite a good start. Either way, having LineageOS booting is the most important and challenging task.

Lol yeah I really hope some devs and testers will join me on this.
Right. Able to boot lineage is the most important thing. Everything can be fixed with time.

oneplus 11 twrp install guide: https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1Gv4y1r7Gv/
I develope the app and also update the video above.
Oneplus roms collection: https://op.daxiaamu.com (yes I maintained it)
I just pre-ordered the 11 and was lucky because I got a 100 Amazon gift card from Amazon so I can get a case and screen protectors I just hope we can get a working root soon I held off on upgrading my 8t because of lack of dual sim in us now one plus gave us dual sim and a bonus of esim so I can't wait as I use both sim slots I have a cheap plan on my main line and I get free unlimited data on my second sim which I need both so I'm happy
TWRP is necessary for NANDroid Backups, I'll join testing if come out.
Mine will be here Thursday. The sooner I can root / debloat etc, the better. I'm no dev, but I will be here testing.

Okay nice. I don't think I'll try to build a TWRP first then. I may try to build a LineageOS build directly. Does someone here dumped an OxygenOS OP11 partition table including partition paths, names, and exact sizes ?
Okay well, I expected more engagement with this thread, and maybe some help..
Is there someone here with a rooted OnePlus 11 ? Or at least with unlocked BL ?

Awesome !
To avoid any soft brick in the future while testing builds, we'd need to know exactly which fastboot features are enabled and which are not, starting with fastboot boot.
Could you please dump your recovery.img and boot.img, and try to fastboot boot each of them to confirm the phone is booting normally sideloading the boot.img, and booting in recovery correctly when sideloading recovery.img ?
Also, I currently have no idea of the partition layout of the OnePlus 11, is it the same as the OnePlus 8 Pro, or if things changed since then, it would be a good thing to dump information about the partition table, possibly using fastboot enhance. I've read in some other threads that someone needed to patch a partition called "init_boot", weighting 8mb, so maybe the kernel now resides in two different partitions : init_boot being the ramdisk and zImage being elsewhere. The best would be to gather more info about the partition table before trying any fastboot sideloading.
To begin, please install a terminal emulator, and type :
Bash:
su
ls -als /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/ >> /sdcard/fstab.txt
Please upload the created fstab.txt file here
