Recently I came across a video on youtube about the new UB ports Ubuntu touch and the new iteration of Anbox , in that video it was previewing the new system on a Z2 force. My Z2 force has been retired from active duty and is currently in my "bugout bag" as a spare.
being the weekend (sunday) and having some free time i decided to look it up and couldn't find a direct link to the rom but did find the UBPorts GSI page and Halium boot image, I did come across a thread somewhere (I don't know if it was XDA) on porting it over but needed a lineage 16 rom as a base (this was prior to me finding the UBP gsi images) reading through the instructions seems fairly straightforward and i did find generic GSI (not the lineage 16 one) and was wondering if anyone has tried this out on the Z2?
It doesn't need lineage 16 as a base it's need Mokee because it's halium patched ...the instructions are right on the z2 force page on Ubuntu touch

It's an old topic, but maybe you are using it still. Do you have tried to use a usb-C to Ethernet-Dongle? I've tried a lot of Custom ROMS, but it seems to be an Android bug or something else, that the Phone shows up an Ethernet-connection and is able to use it for a few seconds. But after that, the phone freezes and starts to reboot.

Fine, I bought from aliexpress a Zuk Z2 and I have few questions:
1st How can I find which model I have, as far I know, there are Chinese and Indian models, which one I have and how to understanding it?
2nd Are there some differences between those device, chinese and indian? or can I flash each other rom?
3rd My device came with a custom rom 2.0.069 ST and I couldnt arrange apps in the way which I'd like, are all the ZUI ROMS like this, or is it some bug or specific for that rom?
And most important thing, where do I started reading about this amazing device?
thanks for all help. :good:
this place is pretty dead in terms of engagement, go to zukfans.eu
I have a ZUK Z2 (not pro) and just went through the process of flashing new ROMs. I used zukfans.eu, xda-developers.com and youtube videos to learn about the device. I found zukfans to be better to figure out getting in developer mode and using adb command line prompts and was able to flash the stock rom 2.0.069ST. This allowed me to update to the latest version. As I don't speak Chinese (and lots of apps were still in Chinese), I really wanted a true multilanquage Android ROM, not a ZUK skinned android ROM. For this I used the XDA instructions to load the Cyanogen 13 ROM which works very nicely, all in English with all apps like Google Play working.
Some notes:
1. Look for youtube videos like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iinsQCuZr9Q
2. Flashing stock ROMs: http://zukfans.eu/community/threads/howto-flash-a-stock-zui-rom-zuk-z2-z2131-only.104/
3. Flashing CM13 custom ROM:http://forum.xda-developers.com/zuk-z2-pro/development/6-0-1-unofficial-cyanogenmod-13-t3504123
3. Remember: For custom ROMs: Unlock bootloader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/zuk-z2-pro/development/how-bootloader-zuk-z2-pro-t3415392
4. For ADB command line prompts I loaded Minimal adb and fast boot to load the unlock bootloader. img I got from ZUK
With both the ZUK z2 and TWRP I got Chinese as the language that came up. Don't panic, just look on the web for youtube videos that show you how to get to English.
Hope this helps.
A few more word here:
1. TWRP from raimondomartire doesn't work for me, could be difference in CN version's build.prop or something else causing the problem, I am not sure.But I did get CM13 falshed by using a TWRP compiled by other Chinese guy
2. CM13 from mauronofrio works great, but I do get some random reboot sometimes
Has anyone tried PAOSP Custom Rom Android 10 for z2 force? I have seen this zip file on mirror lollinet in Nash custom rom section.
https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/nash/custom/posp/
it seems to be flashable zip modified at 2019-Sept-09. I had a little chit chat with the founder of this project today. He replied by saying he had no idea who made this unofficial build for nash and said that we don't back unofficial builds except the phones we have officially released on their website.
I wanted to gave it a shot but that modem issue which has been all going for past couple of months NO baseband imei no turning back etc Stopped :crying: me from flashing it.
If anyone has tried please do share your experience. anyway I have a [XT1789-03] {Sprint} variant
I am downloading it. I will see what failures it has. I also use the sprint version
Jessooca said:
Both of the builds in the folder were made by @erfanoabdi well known guru of rom's. They work, I actually tested both builds for him after he made them. He's over on telegram if you want to join his group and get all the most current up to date methods, or message him here.
If you want to check out the android 10 official gsi image on the phone, you can download it directly from google developer and see what android 10 has to offer as well, I have it on my phone. Although over on his telegram group you'll get all the info if you want to check out his build of it, a minor variation of the actual official Android 10 GSI. No real issues to report, on Android 10 other than missing hardware keys at the bottom which can be enabled via a build.prop edit.
Again, I would suggest you join his telegram group if you want all the info or if you know what you're doing check out the Android 10 official gsi direct from Google. I am always one to try everything and if it breaks, so be it. I'll fix it, but there was literally zero issues with flashing it as an img file in twrp.

I was looking at the Google developer page for the Android 10 GSI's. I ran the code "adb shell getprop ro.treble.enabled" and it came back as false. The web page says not to continue since the phone isn't compatible. I was under the impression that the Z2 Force is A/B compatible.
So, how did you go about installing it on your phone?
Thanks for any info and assistance.
Hi,
I have an old Galaxy Note N5110 lying around and would like to revive it. What is the best ROM currently available? Currently it has Lineage 14.1 (I think...) installed.
Main Usage:
- reading and annotating PDF files
- use Mendeley to access my article database
- take notes manually and make plots/drawings
- internet access
I don't care about gaming , social networks or photos.
Cheers
Jorge

I have the same device and to my knowledge LOS 14.1 was the latest supported Custom ROM for this device. It still runs on that, but it feels a bit lagging.

Can confirm. I also have a Note 8 Tablet (N5100) and have flashed Lineagos 14.1 (many times).
There's another thread where someone was trying to flash Lineagos 16 onto the N5100/N5110, but can't seem to find it.
Will update if I find it.
Rr 585 works very well. My son is using it for videos and games. Very stable.

I haven't seen any news on it since, though
I'm interested what battery and screen time are you getting with custom roms? I have LOS 14.1 and I'm getting only about an hour of screen time with a new battery.
That's got to be a bad battery then. I regularly get a couple hours, depending on usage. Youtube not so much, reading e-books... dunno, maybe 5?
I have installed LineageOS 14.1 to this tablet and the battery usage is average to the used by the ancient Kitkat. The issue with LineageOS is about unlocking the tablet, the proccess is too laggy and you have to retry many times to unlock it. I forgot: many gestures are lost with LineageOS, for instance, to pause the youtube videos putting your hand over the screen, to take screenshots with the SPen...
Currently LineageOS allows to update the OS version to 16 (I think it is Android 9) but you have to compile it and to try to update the firmware.
Hello,
I have a samsung galaxy note 8.0 model GT-5110 tablet and I would like to update it to android 11, I just don't know what procedure to do, what characteristics the device has to meet or if I have to download a Rom.
I would like to know what you recommend me to do. Thank you very much
What's the best stable ROM for Samsung Galaxy Note 8 tablet N5110 in 2022-23? Kindly guide how to update. My device is running on Kitkat since then, but I have used the device very seldom. Its almost brand new ()

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

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.

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.

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

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?

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..
