I want to install a custom ROM on my Nokia G20 once the official support ends on May 2024.
I visited this page and searched the supported list but couldn't find Nokia G20.
Any custom ROM available for download that supports the G20 ?
I don't want to download a ROM from a random source. My main focus is security which is why I don't want to continue using this device after May 2024.
Sadly not yet

I wrote "not yet". Does that mean there is hope ? Specifically which ROM can I expect to support the G20 in the near future ? LineageOS ?
Also someone told me something about the bootloader. I don't know much about Android. He told me that Nokia does not allow installation of custom ROMs. Is this true ? If yes then how am I supposed to install a custom ROM even if a project starts supporting the G20 ?

Ah it all depends brother if someone builds a ROM for the device, but if nobody does, there's just no hope.
and it's not true you can still install custom ROMs on Nokia devices, You can surely unlock it's bootloader and you need to install a custom recovery in order to install a ROM. And about how you'd know, there's just no way. like just keep checking the Xda forums of the Device Nokia G20

Hello Friends~! I bought one of these phones specifically to root and build a rom for, since I saw it was lacking any options. I have to finish a project I am working on, so give me a couple weeks max and I should have some stuff up for y'all.

As far as your other question, I like to do three builds, one is a Recovery Rom that is Stock, the second is a Stock Rom that is Rooted, the third one being Lineage with Root. I traditionally put Gapps on there, the mini. I can do images without Gapps if requested, etc.

Hi,
With an unlocked bootloader you can root your device. Then, you can extract vendor files and build a rom from scratch.
For those people that have bootloader unlocked, please, upload vendor files to a git repo.

[UPDATE]
Confirmed to support Treble by "ali ba".
Hello all,
I've read lots of conflicting news about the support status of Project Treble in Nokia 6 (2018),
Can anyone confirm the support or the lack of it once and for all?
Thanks.
Correct me if I'm wrong but every device launching with 8.0 has to support Treble does it not? I guess the problem lies with whether Nokia will provide the ability to unlock the bootloader. I'm not sure if it makes a difference that this is an Android One device in this respect.
Does anyone have an official firmware available for download? I have TA-1054, China version and it seems it has a custom firmware. Thank you.

You're absolutely right, the problem is the Chinese release was on Nougat, and nobody has yet ran the Treble flag test on the international version.. maybe because not so many hands got it yet... We'll wait..
According to the test app it does support Treble, but I'm not sure whether to trust it.
Came with an update out of the box and I didn't check the version before applying it (which would have made that clearer).

Thank you very much!!! finally some useful results, I think we can trust the app, but just to make sure, could you please follow the procedure described in this page.. more specifically the terminal flag test..

Also, do you own the Chinese device or the international one?

EU-version, shipped by Amazon.
Here is a screenshot from Treble Check on Nokia 6.1
(TA-1043/Europe/Android 8.1 update/Shipped with Android 8.0)
Code:
$ adb shell getprop ro.treble.enabled
true

Hi, same here. Do you have any news? Have you managed to install unmodified Android to your TA-1054? Will appreciate any info.

Nope, no news yet.
Can someone tell us the difference between all Nokia 6 2018 models please?
TA-1068
TA-1045
etc...
Is there a specific model for 'Worldwide' like Nexus/Pixel?
Is there a Europe version?
...
...
THANKS!
[Update]
Just noticed you actually did just that... Thanks.
I think this is an important topic that deserves it's own thread..
Would you care to start it?, also what models are sold in what markets?
That would be useful.
cheers.
Try to obtain the global firmware of TA-1054. I can provide you with the firmware.
I have two Nokia 6.1 devices. One is TA-1054 and the other is TA-1089. Both Global/International/Made in India version. I have the firmware files. But I doubt, you'll be able to flash them with the Stock recovery in your Chinese Variant. If you want the links, I'll provide you. And yes, Nokia 6.1 supports Treble. And I've recently flashed Android 11 GSI. Well, only issue was unlocking the boot loader to flash custom recovery. I never want to bootloader unlock any other Nokia phone anytime soon.
The TA-10xx naming determines the variant of the phone. The (4 + 64 GB) variant is TA-1089. The values change depending on the ram and storage size. Also newer models for the same phone we're released with Mediatek processors and Snapdragon for different markets. Just like Samsung does, sells the Exynos variant in Asia while selling the Snapdragon variant in US, UK, EUR, etc. Nokia also started doing this with their Nokia 5.1 and 5.3( if I recall correctly, not sure). So those phones have multiple variants. The TA-10XX naming scheme is quite similar to RM-xxx scheme followed by Nokia in the past, when Nokia was owned by Nokia and not HMD. In fact, their shift to TA-XXXX naming suggest that they belong to the family of Android/HMD owned Nokia and not the old Nokia. Even the 3310 (The beast) and 8110 4G have TA-XXXX product code instead of the RM-XXX. It's like a product code which can determine the RAM, Storage and Chipset as well as Region of the device.
So to flash Android R, TWRP or TWRP based custom recovery is required. Then flash any Android 10 Custom ROM with Treble support. Also flash dm no verify.zip with the ROM. Reboot to set up device. Don't add any Google account and password, etc. Then again boot into TWRP, changed to Image mode from zip mode in Install. Flash the system.img from Android 11 GSI.
Then reboot.
Follow the guidelines to unlock your bootloader

If your device came with Pie (9.0) preinstalled. In India, few devices came.

Hi,
has anybody tried to install a GSI image on this device? Its my first device with treble support and iam very unhappy with MIUI and hope that there is a way to install a stock image on this device. Will a GSI need a special adjustment or something like this because of the MTK processor?

Hey if you got the phone you can just follow the steps from above link
Hello, I brought a Realme X2 CN about one month ago. Regularly I visit Realme X2 XDA forum but I didn't see any official or unofficial Custom Roms & Mods for this device. I bought the CN version at low cost and fast time because I know that XDA :goodeveloper. will help us to make the CN Rom to Global version and many Custom Rom. I just want to know that is there any active developer for this device? We are really waiting for you guys.
Wait for a while. The phone just got released worldwide. and there are many restriction imposed by realme.
Happy news for is is that ,realme is paying attention to it. Fingerprint of our device is working after unlocking bootloader and root.
So, soon we will hope to see development for our device.
Great thread, thank you!
Hopefully we can use it if someone finally finds a way to flash the EU ROM.
I am willing to make a small donation to the person who makes 100% fully functional way of flashing the EU ROM to the Chinese version of realme X2.
Good old Xiaomi... It was (is) so simple with their ROMs...
Hello !
How did you suceed to have fingerprint working after unlocking bootloader ?
Thanks
After removing all the Chinese apps and installing play store and necessary apps don't you guys feel comfortable to use Chinese rom as your daily driver? Why not?

you can't modify system Chinese apps without Unlock and rooting the device. And now the main problem starts 'Fingerprint' not work after bootloader unlocking. I there any one who work for solving the fingerprint issue?

There is a developer ready to make custom rom but he needs to purchase the device for which there is crowdfunding. So join this telegram channel and donate too, also share it. @realmeX2Official t.me/RealmeX2Official
I dont get why this phone is listed as a "top device" in the forums when theres not even one official custom ROM for it

I bought my phone on Aliexpress, it came with a customized rom without the Chinese apps, with Google Play installed and multilingual, if they managed to make a rom like that, then I believe there is a way for our problem, what we need is someone customize a rmx-1991 rom, which is the chinese rom

It turns out that to develop a custom rom requires the source code of the device, which at the moment is unfortunately not available.

No custom roms.

VoLTE doesn't work on GSI though.
you can flash a GSI instesd
I have a doubt about Custom ROMs, I have a smartphone moto g40 fusion and right now I think updates are very rare in this smartphone so that's why i am thinking about installing custom rom like LineageOS or EvolutionX in moto g40. But I found last info about custom ROM was posted in Moto g40/60 forum was on May 2022 and it too much in past so will I get updates even if I install it right now. And if possible plz explain how update work in custom rom like how devs update them, like do they update only like LineageOS or specifically moto g40/60 LineageOS every time. thanx in advance .

Custom roms are updated at the discretion of the Dev.
They can stop updating at any time, or continue working on it for years.

Then will I have to flash my phone after every update release by Dev working on this phone.. is there any easy way to get update even after dev stop working on this Custom ROM like can I update it?, sorry for asking like this is going to be an easy task but I am just curious that may be it will be just building files from source code after copying updates from google to LineageOS for my phone.

Yes, you would have to manually flash updates, and it requires quite a bit of expertise to build your own updates. The more popular a build is, the more likely it is that it will continue to be maintained.

Would love to help, but I haven't gotten into building my own ROMs yet; I'm a Linux enthusiast, and just started running Lineage OS on my A52 4G and Raspberry Pi. You could try contacting @KonstaT though, he is maintaining a bunch of Lineage OS builds and might be able to help you, or at least point you in the right direction.
