Welcome to Jaguar Oreo 8.1. As some may know, the emphasis of this project is on Security and Performance. I have recently transitioned from Lenovo Zuk Z2 plus to Oneplus 5 (and previously from Sony Xperias). This rom is actively maintained, and I don't intend to abandon it until Pie becomes stable and feature rich. You are welcome to visit Z2 thread for user feedback: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-zuk-z2/development/jaguar-oreo-8-1-official-t3734597. A few people asked me to build for Oneplus 5T. Here it is. Although, I don't have Oneplus 5T, the rom has been successfully tested by @punit1708. So, everything works.
In addition to most, if not all, familiar Oreo features starting from multiple options in statusbar, navbar, QS, gestures etc. to alarm blocker, wakelock blocker, smart pixels and omni features (I am not going to list all of them), you will have the following:
1. Hardened/fortified bionic (over 150 commits) to prevent bad behavior by system and third party apps.
2. Many classes and resources are NOT pre-loaded or compiled during boot. Instead, they are compiled after the initial startup and put in ram and cache. So, after initial settling, you will have increased speed in almost everything: interface transitions, app startup time, etc. . In addition, it takes 4-5 seconds to fully boot, after Oneplus logo ends (initial boot after flashing will obviously take longer).
3. Most runtime permissions are limited to 'read only'.
4. FBE encryption is replaced with FDE, and it is not forced. Plus, you can have separate passwords, one longer for boot and another short one for screen lock. I, personally, don't like FBE. I think it is weaker than FDE. Also, I don't want my device to boot at all or be partially decrypted, unless I enter boot password.
5. Many additional security features are enabled in kernel. Kernel is based on DU for Oneplus 5 (the work on it just started).
6. Yama security to replace Selinux.
7. Wireguard support in kernel
8. DNS over TLS
9. Background WIFI scanning is hard-disabled
10. Type zero sms: phone's silent response 'received and processed' (without user noticing) eliminated. If you don't know what type zero sms is, Google it. Not class zero sms, which flashes on screen, but doesn't get saved, but rather type zero, which doesn't show at all, but nonetheless is silently acknowledged. Creepy.
11. MicroG support
12. Overclocked little CPU to 2035200 and big to 2592000 by default (which you can adjust, if you don't like it, in Kernel Adiutor)
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Be on 5.1.4 firmware
2. IF YOU ARE ENCRYPTED, YOU MUST DO FACTORY RESET IN TWRP (you will have to type 'YES' for factory reset). THIS WILL RESULT IN ALL DATA INCLUDING INTERNAL SD BEING ERASED!!!. So, transfer the contents to your PC. If you are decrypted, you may skip this step. You may think you are decrypted, but make sure that it is in fact so: check in Settings/Security. If it says phone encrypted, you must do factory reset in TWRP.
3. After factory reset, reboot in TWRP and format manually system/dalvik-cache/data/internal SD (again), as TWRP apparently leaves some remnants of encryption after factory reset.
4. Transfer the rom, Gapps, Magisk and whatever else you need to internal card; flash the rom; flash Gapps (optionally) and reboot
5. Go back to TWRP and flash Magisk (optionally). Why not flash Magisk right away? Because Gapps need to run once before Magisk to get appropriate permissions

How to encrypt the phone:
The rom has FDE, instead of FBE, and it is not forced. So, you will be decrypted, unless you encrypt. You don't need to flash 'no verity', if you want to stay decrypted - just don't encrypt.
You can encrypt within Settings, but the preferred way is to do it via ADB. This way, you could have 2 separate passwords one longer for boot and another shorter for screen lock. YOU MUST HAVE MAGISK INSTALLED FOR ADB method to work.
1. Set up a short screen lock pin/password/pattern
2. Enable ADB in Developer settings
3. Connect the phone to your PC. Open terminal (on PC) and type adb devices to make sure that the phone is listed
4. Type adb shell and press enter; type su and press enter - at this point, you should have Magisk prompt (on the phone) for root; grant it for at least 20 minutes - the prompt on terminal should change to root
Now the fun part:
5. type vdc cryptfs enablecrypto inplace password "your actual password" and press enter
WARNING: No quotation marks anywhere in terminal, and don't type the words 'your actual password', but rather your chosen password. There is no limit on the length of boot password.
The phone will reboot and start encrypting. In about 10-15 minutes, you will get a familiar prompt for boot password. After the first password input, the phone might not fully boot (it happened to me). In this case, just force-shutdown and reboot.
After encrypting, you will lose root. So, re-flash Magisk. Otherwise, you might have kernel panic, due to Magisk not being able to find your lockscreen pin..
P.S. You can also do the same on phone's Terminal. In this case, skip 'adb shell' and start with 'su'. But in my experience, if you make a slight mistake with the password, you won't be able to boot, and you will have to do factory reset in TWRP, which will result in the loss of all data. On PC, you can still see the password you set and boot the phone

This looks interesting. I'll be checking this out with MicroG. I'm glad we have a good ROM focused on privacy.
Is gustures like the OnePlus original version?
Wonderfull ROM, goona stay here for a while, changed the CPU governer, what is the smoothes setting for this? right now it is Ondemand

Rom is very smooth.. Butter like.. Just need to keep it for some cycles about the Battery life it gives.. Have kept all default settings for now.. As you have mentioned there is some overclock done so we can also lower it for some battery efficiency right?

No idea about stock: had it on the phone for 2 minutes - to boot and unlock bootloader.
the instructions are like this (I used a USB stick)
factory reset
restart twrp
format dalvik cache system etc.
flash rome gapps 8.1 nano or stock?
flash magisk etc
format dalvik and cache
restart
That's right ?
I am on the Open Beta 17
Its treble ?
Does this rom have swype up gesture control? So I can hide my nav bar?

Hello folks!
Apparently the official TWRP recovery 3.0.2 has some sort of problems with android 7.1.1 Nougat, so this unofficial recovery was created to work around those issues in the meantime.
The official hosting of this unofficial recovery is in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nex...recovery-twrp-2-8-7-0-touch-recovery-t3234976
It is buried almost all the way at the end.
For sake of convenience, I am making it available here for those that wish to get going with it quickly. Note that I am not the developer of this nor am I the maintainer. This is here for easy reference only. You should speak with TWRP Grand Poobah Dees_Troy in the above thread for further details.

https://mega.nz/#!tdcUAa4a!G-bGMWznEUAkE3Ih3ioaHq2Fx0NdzGnIlhY-nuPg__s
Installation instructions are straightforward:
1. Decompress the zip file so you have the .img file. Do not flash the zip file!
2. Place the recovery image in the same folder as your ADB / fastboot apps.
3. Put your phone in boot loader mode: Power button + volume down button.
4. Pull open a console in this directory and type fastboot devices. Proceed when you a serial number and "fastboot" next to it.
5. Type fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-3-angler.img. If all goes well you should see a success message of some sort.
6. Reboot and enjoy!
I've been using this for a few ROM installs already and haven't seen any problems.
Best of luck to you!
Guess I'll give this a go and report back later on heh. Will this recovery actually stay after a restart?

Like some others have mentioned, I keep seeing it disappear after restarting the phone once, twice or a few times, so I have to re-flash it almost every time I need it.
Not sure what the hangup is. Size-related?

Good to know. 2 questions:
1) What modifications to a regular boot image do we need to make to keep it?
2) Are all boot images the same? Can we all use the same modified boot image or does it differ depending on the ROM?

Sounds like time for you to do some reading as to what root and boot images are. Search works great. I suggest the threads on SuperSU (a form of root) and also looking at the many wonderful custom boot images and Roms that are floating around in this forum.
The simple answer is flash Super Su or find a modified boot image for the current release and flash that.
Also, Heisenberg's excellent beginner's thread in Nexus 6p general is a great place to start.
Enjoy!
Just what I was looking for.
I was in TWRP loop forever and couldn't figure it out till this thread. No issues now
I've installed the one from the main thread and it's working for me.
I just wanted to mention what the bugs are:
shadowstep said:
TWRP versions 3.0.2-1 and above work with Android Nougat 7.0's encryption, TWRP 3.0.2-0 and below don't. Also, both versions 3.0.2-1 and 3.0.2-2 are buggy at the moment, but none of those bugs are along the lines of encryption. Read the end of this post for more information.
(Replies snipped)
EFS partition is never needed to be restored under any general circumstance. It is the partition where the phone stores its IMEI information, MAC address, product code, etc. and will never be needed to be modified or changed in any way. Even if you're flashing a stock factory image (be it of 6.0.1 or 7.0, whenever it is out), it would never touch this partition. You should just backup it once, store it away for emergency purposes and never backup or restore it again.
Okay now moving onto important notes and the bugs:
1. TWRP 3.0.2-0: Is stable and has no known bugs. However, it has not been updated to handle Android Nougat 7.0's encryption. Hence, if you're on 7.0 and you're encrypted, it will keep asking for an encryption password even if you don't have one or if you have one and are inputting it correctly, it will refuse to accept it. If you're on 7.0 and you're unencrypted, then this version should be fine.
2. TWRP 3.0.2-1: Is not stable and has a known bug. The bug would affect those who are restoring their EFS partition using this version of TWRP. The EFS partition has two subparts to it, i.e. /efs1 and /efs2. So, when you check EFS at the backup option menu in TWRP, it backups /efs1 to efs1.emmc.win and /efs2 to efs2.emmc.win, which is fine. However, while restoring (and here is when the bug comes in), it restores efs1.emmc.win to /efs1 but restores the same backup of efs1.emmc.win to /efs2 as well (which it shouldn't be doing and instead it should be restoring the corresponding efs2emmc.win to /efs2). This can brick your phone. Hence, the fatal bug.
This version, however, supports Android Nougat 7.0's encryption. Therefore, as long as you don't backup/restore EFS with this version, you should be good using it with either Android Marshmallow 6.0.1 or Android Nougat 7.0, encrypted or unencrypted.
3. TWRP 3.0.2-2: Is not stable and has a known bug (with the EFS bug most likely fixed in this version, but this is unconfirmed since there is no changelog available yet). The bug would affect those who are backing up their data using this version. TWRP creates the backups of your selected partitions as tar files. The bug that is present in this version would give you an error (most likely the one that @stankyou got) as it is unable to write the second tar file after processing approximately 1 GB of data and would cancel the backup. Hence, the bug.
This version, however, also supports Android Nougat 7.0's encryption. Therefore, as long as you don't create backups with this version, you should be good using it with either Android Marshmallow 6.0.1 or Android Nougat 7.0, encrypted or unencrypted.
4. @jcadduono has created unofficial builds (versions 3.0.2-3) for the Nexus 6P (Angler) and Nexus 5X (Bullhead) without the broken patches. They are up-to-date, but have the adb backup patches rebased out until the bugs are solved. These builds are untested, and he recommends sticking with 3.0.2-0 instead for the time being.

TL;DR 3.0.2-0 doesn't support Nougat encryption. 3.0.2-1 has bug restoring EFS. 3.0.2-2 has bug creating backups over 1GB.
ADB sideload is not working in TWRP 3.0.2-3 (twrp-3.0.2-3-angler.img - MD5 2fcc19da388ab727aac69b6165ac7888), not sure if this is @jcadduono or not. It's working in previous build IIRC. Is this expected? Thank you.

I had a few failures with it in TWRP, yes.
Until fixed, you'll have to do ADB push instead and then load from TWRP install.
Alternately, you can do fastboot flash commands while in the bootloader.

I noticed that bug yesterday restoring a backup. TWRP appeared to hang whilst restoring, I left it a further five minutes, then hard reset the power button. When the phone loaded up, I found it had restored correctly.
3.0.2-4 twrp ?
Anybody have the capabilities to roll the 3.0.2-3 version in with The Flash's 3.0.2-0_F2FS version lol; and make a version compatible with Nougat encryption as well as F2FS (and without EMS restore problem, nor backup error issue) ?
I know I sure don't, and now that I'm on christmas break I am just sitting around - in fact if anybody could point me to a resource, I have the time and I'm sure I could pick it up quick, I could try and compile it! I've been wanting to give back to this great community since I joined; maybe now that I've done a couple years of engineering school and been searching thru the forums, I can help throw this together.
I'm going to assume that I look up those two builds sources on GitHub, then use Parallels Windows to use a Linux distro (because I'm on a Macbook Pro) to combine the sources and make a build? Honestly, if I could get any advice, I'd love to jump on it.

Unfortunately for me, I still have issues decrypting an encrypted phone on TWRP 3.0.2-3 and 3.0.3-0. TWRP prompts for a password and won't take my PIN.
Running the latest ResurrectionRemix (CM-based), which enables device encryption. I'm still searching around to see what I need to do about this.
Edit: Update: Huh, weird, got it to mount.
I rebooted back into Android, went in to Security and set a device encryption password with "Change encryption password".
I hadn't set one before. It requests my screen lock PIN then to enter an alphanumeric encryption password.
Attempted to remove it again immediately (it doesn't show any feedback when I tap "Replace encryption password" then enter my screen lock PIN), and rebooted into recovery.
TWRP prompted again for an encryption password but now accepts my device lock PIN and it mounts!
Rebooted again, and now the phone requests a PIN unlock during boot >.<
Went back in to Security and went straight to "Replace encryption password", entered my PIN, and saw no feedback again. Rebooted back into Recovery.
TWRP prompts again but accepts my PIN. Rebooting to Android again, I am prompted again on boot to enter my screen PIN to finish the boot process. Sooo now I guess I have to figure out how to disable the device encryption PIN, or something. Oh well. I'll update if I make progress.
The end goal is to reach a point where TWRP will mount (even if it's manually with an entered PIN), and to not have a phone that requires a PIN unlock during boot. But I guess that's still safer and I can live with it. It's just different from how the ROM originally behaved, is all.
Edit: Update again!
Disabled my PIN/security altogether, rebooted into recovery. TWRP mounts without any prompts. Nice. Reboot int system, it boots fine. Also nice.
Set a new screen lock PIN, do not select to use it on bootup, and set my fingerprints again. Apps work immediately fine after, I did not have to reset them to use that auth method. Woot, nice.
Restart into TWRP, no prompt, good. Restart into System again, no prompt during boot.
So I guess in the end you have to disable and re-enable device screen locking security if you hit this issue in TWRP on a 6P? It could be my ROM as well.

Unofficial TWRP for Moto G5S Plus (Sanders)
Additional Features over Official TWRP:
Supports flashing of both 32bit and 64bit ROMs and Kernels.
OREO Images/ROMs support.
Decryption and Encryption support.
No SuperSU by default.
No TWRP app.
No HTC Dumlock cruft.
Updated pigz compressor (slightly faster and more tolerant of corruption).
NTFS support(Both Read and Write).
Covers more partitions for nandroid backup (OEM, FSG and FSC).
Experimental support for SD cards that are partitioned for partial adopted storage and partial removable storage.
Faster I/O performance.
Fixed Gapps/aroma freeze issues.
IMPORTANT!!! : READ INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING TO FLASHING PROCESS..!!
At first boot twrp will ask for "Swipe to allow modifications for /system" and if you choose to allow it system partition will get modified. So if you choose to reboot back to OS without performing anything in twrp, the OS won't boot (as verity check is enabled in stock OS/kernel) . To avoid this you have to flash either Magisk or flash any of the verity disabler zips available on xda.
Force encryption is enabled by default in stock OS and twrp will successfully decrypt /data at first boot if all goes well
If in case decryption doesn't go fine, twrp will popup a dialog box asking for password and that means decryption went wrong and you would need to wipe data once via twrp wipe options and reboot back to twrp for functioning of /data
Flashing Instructions:
Using Existing TWRP:
Reboot to recovery > Click on Install > Install Image > recovery > select recovery image and flash > reboot to recovery
Other Methods(Fastboot) :
Make sure you have unlocked bootloader
Reboot to bootloader
Enter following command in terminal: fastboot flash recovery twrp-****.img (if you want permanent flash) or fastboot boot twrp-****.img (if you want temporary boot)
Incase your device is encrypted (while coming from stock rom), Follow these steps to decrypt:
Reboot to recovery > cancel the password prompt > mount all partitions > Format Data/Userdata (on f2fs) > Reboot Recovery > Mount all partitions again > Flash Magisk > Reboot
Now you are free to use Stock ROM (Decrypted) or Flash any custom rom you want.

Only one that has actually be working for me ever since I got the phone. Thank you for your efforts.
this seems to suffer from the same thing the stock rom/kernel suffers from, the weird f2fs bug that makes certain mounts fail. geneticengineer has shared a kernel that fixes this in stock rom , maybe you could get in touch with him about how he updated f2fs
Thank you for your work, this seems to work well on my device. If you would like to swap the kernel, I posted a newer firmware NPS26.116-45 here:https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74325160&postcount=33

Well my guess is that the kernel in the present twrp is from the -26 firmware posted in the other thread. That firmware was US Retail also. The OP in the other thread states in can be used on other models. But I am not going to tell you that because I do not know. I have not found any other firmware for the sanders model.

Afaik it doesnt affect TWRP, you just need to be on a custom kernel if you are running stock rom.
Twrp has nothing to do with it.
If you face any problem flashing anything then post a screenshot or log.

Stock kernel is same in both the firmwares.
-45 is just for US variant, i dont recommend you to even flash that firmware on other variants.

TWRP backup is frozen at 13% completed. The progress bar is still showing its animation.
I unlocked the bootloader, and then rebooted. Android came up with the language selection screen. I powered off, connected the phone to the PC, and booted into TWRP (not flashed yet):
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-3.1.1-sanders-r7.img
I did not let TWRP format /data.
Then I started a backup, selecting all partitions, so that I could always go back after flashing TWRP and Magisk.
Does anyone know why backup is stuck at 13%? Last log line says "Backing up System..."
I tapped "Cancel" after two hours. That stopped the progress bar animation, but not the backup itself.
BTW: I used TWRP from this thread, the one in another thread freezes at the TWRP boot logo.
Edit: after two hours I killed the backup by powering down (the only way it seemed). On retry it froze at 21%.
Edit 2: Retried, this time backing up everything except system. No problem. I then tried to backup system. Frozen at 1%. What is the problem here?
Edit 3: Finally, a complete backup of system! Only one to go: system_image. But unfortunately that froze at 0%. Every subsequent try freezes at 1666MB (40%). The card has over 30GB free. I tried backup to USB-OTG, but that also froze.

Might be due to data partition being encrypted, you cant write anything in it without decrypting it first.
Format data and reboot recovery, then make the backup. You can flash magisk after taking the backup.
Btw r9 new release on its way with some really important changes

I was not trying to write the backup to the data partition, but to external SD card (tried OTG-USB as well without success).
I have flashed TWRP, formatted the data partition, and flashed Magisk. I have not tried to create a new backup yet. First I want to find out why Magisk does not pass the Safetynet check.
Can't wait to see what r9 brings. Thanks for your efforts. :good:

When I flash this my WiFi stops working completely. I'm running aosp extended rom. I'm not sure if I can achieve battery life as good as I can on the stock ROM as I can on this one so im not sure what I should do about that..

Sorry I wasn't aware you weren't still on stock. That kernel will only work on stock. I would verify with the maintainer of AOSP extended ROM that the kernel is patched to work with Magisk.

As we(in the TG group) have tested a bunch of Pie9.0 (s)GSI Roms on the XDA forum (https://forum.xda-developers.com/project-treble/trebleenabled-device-development) I was asked to make a guide/summary of what there was already been tested and in our opinion the better ones out of the Pie-list.
It’s not to be intented to be ‘the’list but only to give you a guidance to what there is at the moment. And most of, it’s very easy to install
The ones that I will list are the ones WITHOUT call bugs on our Axon 7. As you wish you can vote for your favorite of the listed ones above.
Note : the LOS16 PPR2 is not the same as the one under ROM section (Ordenkrieger)

Pre Requisitions :
Unlocked BL, Bootstack B12 NFound or your preferred one
Vendor partition by @djkuz or your preferred one
TWRP3218-treble under the hood @NFound or your preferred one
Installation : or your own preferred method as this is just an example
Wipe System. Data, Vendor, cache dalvik (although data does the job)
Flash the v1.1 NFound
Flash the .img that you have extracted and if needed renamed to system.img
And just….reboot
After installation there can be applied some fixes :
a* Use the aroma COMBIFIX v3.1 to fix the NFC/HS general lag, choose button reverse, flash new kran framework overlay, magisk and gapps
update : for magisk 18.1 use the latest Combifix v5.1 or with Magisk 19.0 you can use Combifix v6.0 or the latest one with magisk 19.1 and latest MHPC : COMBIFIX 6.1
a. NFC when laggy or not working combined with Hotspot : Pie_NFC /Hotspot fix by @kountry83
On ArrowOS and Benzo they both work after applying the fix although the Hotspot works on ArrowOS and Benzo die to v105 phh
b. GCAM when default one isn’t working
c. Camera fix if you have a settings bug
d. Reverse BACK/RECENT (mount system / vendor) or A2017X_softkey_reverse_module
e. System settings color accents
f. DarkMode & SettingsColorAccents thnx @kountry83
g. safetynet issues
Misc :
* A2017X-MoKee_vendor_boot_combo
* AEX bootanimation
* Havoc bootanimation
* There is no need to an incall fix as all of the listed are free of the bug.
* Also no problems with SD card or booting the roms.
* In some cases the package provided by the dev is GAPPS included. If no gapps provided you can simply flash the OFFICIAL GAPPS.
* All roms have NFC working. Hotspot isn’t reliable and mostly not working.
* Some Pie Roms do have more customization as to the other. Up to you to vote which one you do prefer. When voting it would be good when you make your vote based on ‘most stable/most customs/best battery life’
* Substratum works (tested on Benzo and NOS...)
I’m not going get into detail about each rom. I’ll leave that up to you to discuss further on. Perhaps if voting leads us to a one of a kind, we can focus on that in the future.
It would be much appreciated as you add your input even with your fixes or additions you want to point out.
This is something that is growing on XDA and all the input is welcome to improve what we have.
ENJOY !
@Oki, thnx for your guidance on flashing back and forth between (treble) roms
Credits to all mentioned in the thread and to all members for testing and improving it on TG !
Feel free to join us too on Axon7-trebleshoot

A good one. As for me the Benzo, Los16PPR2 and Havoc are the best to this point.
Especially smoothness, battery life and customization are more then ok atm.
Updates will follow and improve things where needed.
Thanks @raystef66 ! Took some time away from flashing and was a bit lost of where to go on my axon after moving to aex5.8 and how to do. Good that you also have the instructions
Was on benzo for a week or so...was pretty stable but the battery life wasnt that great even with the schwifty kernel. It lacked some of the customizations that i use so i am back at AEX 5.8...pretty sure these gsi will become more stable over time...will be worth the wait

True, as for me too, the AEX Oreo has a bunch of customs that Benzo still hasnt. But out of all GSI's Benzo and a couple others have the most.
Even on some Pie GSI's the displayed features aren't even working.
Batterylife as on NOS gave me 4-5 SOT on average use.
Anyway, like you said, still building up....

Sure! more people testing means more options explored and better outcome for everyone. You are doing a great job testing and bringing Android 9 ROMs to the Axon 7 scene. I have been very busy the last couple of weekends preparing my version of the TWRP for the Axon 7, the TWRP 2.3.2-0L Labs Mod. It has been for me the key for fast switching between the testing environment and the daily driver configuration in a matter of minutes and without requiring a computer at all. It can backup/restore internal storage, create and remove the vendor partition and even create firmware zip packages able to be flashed using TWRP or MiFlash. I'll create the guide this afternoon on how to switch back and forth from Nougat or Oreo to Pie.
Cheers!

That would be great and much appreciated as you have followed your own guideline next to NFounds ! That's why I asked
I follow what you're trying to achieve and in fact I'm waiting to test the LabMods. Thnx !
As said, I come along with many people asking how to go back and forth between N,O and Pie. I know what to do in such occasions but many don't.
Because of your tools I'll leave the full guide on that up to you

I have not developed new kernels but I have taken care of both situations. Just go to the TWRP Labs Mod thread, the info is in the OP and you can ask there too. This thread is all about the Pie implementations, Let's try to keep on topic as much as possible.
really hope MIUI 10 will be stable enough, miss MIUI
HOW TO...
Round Trip from NOUGAT or OREO to PIE GSI
OK, the full instructions to go from Nougat or Oreo to Pie, and back, would be:
Prerequisite
Bootloader Unlocked Axon 7
Install tools and configuration
1. Install TWRP Labs Mod Custom Recovery. Use the B12 version in case you are currently using Oreo encryption. Reboot to recovery.
2. Open the PARTY tool under Advanced > Oki Labs. If you do not have vendor partition you need to create one. Use the default configuration (System, 512MiB, at the end). Accept to reboot recovery. If the vendor partition is there, then just leave PARTY tool and continue with the next step.
Backup your daily driver config:
3. Go to the EDL Backup tool under Advanced > Oki Labs and create the Backup zip choosing FULL. If something goes wrong you will be able to restore your device using TWRP or MiFlash
4. From the Main Menu, backup your Data partition to the External SD.
5. Backup your Internal Storage using the option under Advanced > Oki Labs (Check the available space, the tool is not yet checking for available space, I will add it this weekend)
Prepare Treble configuration:
6. From TWRP Install the special B12 Bootloader with enabled EDL key combo support (The Universal Bootstack leads to DFU mode) and the modem for your region.
7. From the Main Menu, Wipe Vendor
8. Flash Axon 7 Treble ROM v1.1
Flash GSI package:
9. From the Main Menu, Wipe Dalvik / Cache / System / Data
10. From here you have to follow the installation instruction for the Generic System Image (GSI). Usually it is a single img file. So go to Install, press Install_Image button and navigate to the GSI file to flash it. Then just reboot. Some images would require additional ZIPs such as GApps or recommended patches.
Here you test the Pie ROM. If you want to test another Pie ROM you can try just going back to step 9. However, to ensure everything is clean you should start in step 7.
Return to your Daily Driver Config
11. Boot Recovery and flash the backup EDL ZIP you created in step 4. If you bricked your device just extract the contents of the file in your HD, Boot your phone into EDL mode, and use MiFlash. This step restore your original bootstack, modem and OS.
12. From main menu restore your Data partition
13. Go to Advanced > Oki Labs and restore Storage.
14. If you had to create the vendor partition in step 2, just run the PARTY tool again to remove the vendor partition.
15. From the Main Menu, Wipe Dalvik / Cache and reboot to system.
New Builds :A-only !
Pixel Experience seems default camera is working now
ArrowOS
Misc
Magisk Camera Module (MI A2 stock camera for Pie) - tested and works very good. Even flash is synchronised as well.
@Oki, I'm having an issue flashing your B12 bootloader. When I flash I get an error saying the zip is corrupt. I've tried downloading 3 times, and flashed from both internal and external storage. Any suggestions?

This new version works. Thanks!
Disclaimer: I'm not a dev, i'm just someone who has a lot of time to do research on Windows, Android... So that i can say i'm quite a talent that stuffs when other don't, may be just know to use Facebook, Youtube or something similar. But when you're here, want to read my topic, i'm happy you're something like me, want your phone yours and yours only, want to do more with your phone. So let's get started.
- My Phone: Redmi 8A -4/64 China Variant, i'm not from China though. Running Xiaomi.eu rom 11.0.4.0 as base to install gsi. I have tried Global Rom but it's incompatible with my phone (random reboot, missing imei, no MAC address...) so please flash another market version with caution.
- Why i write this topic? Because firstly i want to demonstrate how to install a GSI rom. Secondly, i feel somehow wifi speed on MIUI is ridiculous, only 500-600kb/s, it takes me 15 minutes to download a 16mb app; random ping in game, that make the game not enjoyable. This wifi symptom is like on a phone from my country, Vsmart joy 2+, run on the same entry variant 4xx, due to support wifi 2.4 ghz only. (Because bluetooth interfering with wifi 2.4 Ghz and our device doesn't support 5ghz wifi)
Compare to MIUI, Havoc OS has somethings i like:
+ Faster download/upload speed: no delay with wifi bluetooth interference
+ Doesn't have bloatware, you choose what you want to install
+ All known bugs i mentioned in my previous topic are fixed, except Auto Brightness - i don't use it though
+ D2TW needs to be fixed. But i have a workaround using Magisk and root.
And a lot that i dont write all here.
Instructions:
Read my previous topic first, all instructions below will focus on Havoc OS only.https://forum.xda-developers.com/xi...de-how-to-install-magisk-miui-how-to-t4030175
0) Backup Backup Backup, be sure to have a plan in case anything goes wrong. I use a offline disk drive to backup anything important.
1) Unlock Bootloader, Install TWRP or Orange Fox. If you come from stock MIUI, use Volume Up + Power to enter recovery directly after flash with Fastboot, ortherwise, stock recovery will be replaced.
Remember to flash vbmeta.img.
2) Download all the files in my post, download Havoc OS GSI and extract to get system
From Official Havoc OS here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/havoc-os/files/a64-ab/ (Newer Version)
Download Opengapps (optional) from opengapps (10/arm/nano or pico)
Download boot.img from my previous topic, choose the right version matched your phone version.
3) Copy all the files to the phone. I recommend use a micro sd card because internal storage may be encrypted, or you can format data first, your call.
4) Format the following partitions: Cache, Dalvik, Data and System
5) Install system image to system partition.
6) Install permissiver_v5
7) Resize system partition to install opengapps.
8) Install Opengapps or what gapps you choose
9) Flash Certification + Patch
10) Reboot. If bootloop, format data. Not wipe data. Then setup your phone.
11) Install Magisk Manager. Follow the app instructions.
12) Install d2tw module to have d2tw feature. If it doesn't work, then try an alternative way:
Open /vendor/bin/init.qcom.post_boot.sh and add the string:
Code:
sendevent /dev/input/event2 0 1 5
then reboot
13) Enjoy Havoc OS. Install apps, configure settings...
How to Update
- Flash system image over, no wipe require. Just reboot.
Bugs
I don't use the phone often so i can say it's stable enough to be a daily driver rom. If there's any, just comment below so i can add them.
Additions
- Here are all apps i want to install on my phone: Youtube Vanced from https://vancedapp.com/; Bromite for browsing; modded messenger from @evilwombatHere, outdated version but still okay.
- If you don't like stock camera, you can use gcam, here is a working version i download from Telegram group: Here
- To fix Recording, from Misc features -> Force Timestamp Source, choose Clock boottime
And that's all. Now enjoy!
I gifted my sister this phone so i don't have device to test anymore. Still, sometime i'll test if i can. The guide still works so enjoy flashing!!!
Great. I've been using havocOs for almost two months now and it's great. Much quicker and smoother than stock miui. Only problem I've been trying to find a fix for is setting up a lock screen.
Thanks for sharing the dt2w module for magisk. Is there some sort of setting I need to mess with to get it to work? I've installed the module and activated it in magisk but dt2w still won't work. I also activated the dt2w setting that comes with havocOs 3.1 under " xiaomi features " but that never worked from the beginning.

Did you flash no_encrypt zip? It'll make set up screen password impossible because encryption is disable. I have clean flashed Havoc OS and confirm d2tw module working, despite i don't active the xiaomi option in setting.

Yes I believe I did flash no_encrypt. Is there any possible way to re-enable Encryption to set up a screen lock at this point?

There is a trick, you can enable encryption through Settings -> security -> Encryption and credentials then encrypt phone. If it doesn't work, then read this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/universal-dm-verity-forceencrypt-t3817389
Or you can do the whole process again, clean flash and do as my thread. May be d2tw starts working.
Thank you sir
thanks a lot for this
can you tell me how to upgrade our 32bit os to 64bit

I wasn't able to encrypt my phone it would just reboot and nothing change.
So I ended up re-flashing back to MIUI stock firmware.
Flashing OrangeFox and HavocOS 3.1
Flashed all of the other necessary stuff EXCEPT for Disable_ForceEncrypt.
Now my phone is encrypted and able to set up a Screen Lock .
Now I'm still not able to use dt2w for some odd reason. No worries though I'm able to set up tap status bar to lock so that'll help for Now until I can keep dt2w to work.

Disclaimer: I'm not a dev, i'm just someone who has a lot of time to do research on Windows, Android... So that i can say i'm quite a talent that stuffs when other don't, may be just know to use Facebook, Youtube or something similar. But when you're here, want to read my topic, i'm happy you're something like me, want your phone yours and yours only, want to do more with your phone. So let's get started.
- My Phone: Redmi 8A -4/64 China Variant, i'm not from China though. Running Xiaomi.eu rom 11.0.4.0 as base to install gsi. I have tried Global 10.3 but it's incompatible with my phone (random reboot, missing imei, no MAC address...) so please flash another market version with caution.
- Why i write this topic? Because firstly i want to demonstrate how to install a GSI rom. Secondly, i feel somehow wifi speed on MIUI is ridiculous, only 500-600kb/s, it takes me 15 minutes to download a 16mb app; random ping in game, that make the game not enjoyable. This wifi symptom is like on a phone from my country, Vsmart joy 2+, run on the same entry variant 4xx.
Compare to MIUI, Havoc 3.1 has somethings i like:
+ Faster download/upload speed: almost the same as the speed of my network
+ Doesn't have some bloatwares, you choose what you want to install
+ All known bugs i mentioned in my previous topic are fixed, except Auto Brightness - i don't use it though
+ D2TW needs to be fixed. But i have a workaround using Magisk.
And a lot that i dont write all here.
Instructions:
Read my previous topic first, all instructions below will focus on Havoc OS only.https://forum.xda-developers.com/xi...de-how-to-install-magisk-miui-how-to-t4030175
0) Backup Backup Backup, be sure to have a plan in case anything goes wrong. I use a offline disk drive to backup anything important to me.
1) Unlock Bootloader, Install TWRP or Orange Fox. If you come from stock MIUI, use Volume Up + Power to enter recovery directly after flash with Fastboot, ortherwise, stock recovery will be replaced.
Remember to flash vbmeta.img.
2) Download all the files in my post, download Havoc OS GSI from ExpressLuke and extract to get system imagehttps://sourceforge.net/projects/expressluke-gsis/files/HavocOS/Ten/A64/AB/
Download Opengapps (optional) from opengapps (10/arm/nano or pico)
Download boot.img from my previous topic, choose the right version matched your phone version.
3) Copy all the files to the phone. I recommend use a micro sd card because internal storage may be encrypted, or you can format data first, your call.
4) Format the following partitions: Cache, Dalvik, Data and System
5) Install system image to system partition.
6) Install permissiver_v5
7) Resize system partition to install opengapps.
8) Install Opengapps or what gapps you choose
9) Flash Certification + Patch
10) Reboot. If bootloop, format data. Not wipe data. Then setup your phone.
11) Install Magisk Manager. Follow the app instructions.
12) Install d2tw module to have d2tw feature.
13) Enjoy Havoc OS. Install apps, configure settings...
Bugs
I don't use the phone often so i can say it's stable enough to be a daily driver rom. If there's any, just comment below so i can add them.
Additions
- Here are all apps i want to install on my phone: Youtube Vanced from vanced.app; Bromite for browsing; modded messenger from @evilwombatHere, outdated version but still okay.
- If you don't like stock camera, you can use gcam, here is a working version i download from Telegram group: Here

I've considered making a complete tutorial on installing recovery, root, & rom installation for this phone. Next time I go back to stock I probably will make a video. Until then you can definitely follow the tutorials on this forum to install a custom recovery and rom. Personally I would recommend installing OrangeFox recovery because TWRP has touchscreen issues sometimes.
You will have to unlock the bootloader first which takes 14 days if you have not already.
The tool to unlock the Bootloader is here: https://en.miui.com/unlock/download_en.html
Once your bootloader is unlocked you're ready to install OrangeFox custom recovery, the files and instructions can be found here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xi...t/orangefox-recovery-xiaomi-redmi-8a-t4032583
Once you have OrangeFox recovery installed you can follow this tutorial in this thread to install HavocOS rom or the other thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xi...de-how-to-install-magisk-miui-how-to-t4030175
Try it out and then come back and let us know what problems you run into

I used TWRP then moved to Orange Fox. Everything working fine, may be your screen is different. In d2tw module, there's a file called readme.md: Manual usage : - enable $ set-dt2w 1 - disable $ set-dt2w 0
Just try it -))))))))
Great GSI. I have this one problem though. I cannot backup anything from TWRP. Is it really normal because it's encrypted?

I'm getting the same error with attempting to make a back up in orangefox. After seeing you have the same problem now I'm assuming it is indeed a problem with encryption? I was able to make backups successfully before my phone was encrypted so I still have an old back up on my PC. However it would be nice to be able to make a new fresh back up.

That was weird. In stock ROM, I can back up the /data/media just fine even when encrypted. But after having Havoc OS, I cannot do that anymore. Tried on both TWRP and OrangeFox. I can, with an unencrypted phone, but I do not feel comfortable without a lockscreen. Tried all things I have researched on that error. Not one worked. Might as well just stick to Titanium Backup for backups.
Overall, great GSI. Loading is faster than on stock (with the internet too)! Though, I have another issue with regards to the locking of apps, so that the app would not be cleared. Speaking of clearing apps, it is tiring to scroll left just to see the "Clear All" option in Recents. Autostart too.
I know you are not the developer, but just letting you know my concerns.

LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of android, which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock android for your device.
All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit our Wiki.
Recovery
The LineageOS 17.1 reovery is recommended
If you still want to use TWRP never install the TWRP app as system app. Otherwise your device won't boot
Current lineage 17.1 shamu nightlies are based on the N6F27M October 2017 update from google.
So you should be using the radio and bootloader img from that update.
Before you flash a bootloader or radio image please boot to bootloader and check what you have currently installed. You might already have the right one and don't need to flash it again.
They can be extracted from the factory image on google's site here.
Or you can use the ones linked below that I already extracted:
radio-shamu-d4.01-9625-05.45+fsg-9625-02.117.img
bootloader-shamu-moto-apq8084-72.04.img
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR VERIZON USERS: Google released a separate October 2017 security update (NGI77B) just for verizon users that has a different radio. So you'll want to flash it. I repeat, THIS RADIO IS JUST FOR VERIZON USERS.
radio-shamu-d4.01-9625-05.51+fsg-9625-02.118.img
You can use fastboot to flash the bootloader and radio.
More information and installation instructions can be found on the LineageOS wiki here.
Download Links
LineageOS: https://download.lineageos.org/shamu
Google apps: Opengapps Use an ARM (not ARM64) package for Android 10
HEADS UP: When you initially install LineageOS, be sure you flash the gapps package with your ROM. If you boot your ROM, then go back and try to flash gapps after, you're gonna have a bad time.

Will waiting for the build you might want to read the Changlog for the first LineageOS 17.1 release:

Will there be a possibility to root?
Should we wait for 17.1 to flash the radio and bootloader or can we do it now to get it out of the way?
What are the commands for flashing those two images?
Thanks @Elektroschmock and @npjohnson for keeping the Nexus 6 alive in 2020. :good:

Actually you should already have those radio and bootloader images if you had the latest stock image installed at one point.
Commands are:
fastboot flash bootlader [name_of_the_bootloader_image]
and
fastboot flash radio [name_of_the_radio_image]

Actually, I've been running Lineage and CM before that since I brought the phone home. So there's no way I had the latest stock image installed ever.
Thanks, I'm all set
Welp I did a stupid.
Flashed the new 17.1 recovery via fastboot. Then I tried to sideload via adb (based on the instructions) but Linux machine kept complaining about needs adb root. Tried with root permission nothing, Then came the stupid. Rebooted into recovery and tried to apply the update. Well that went how I expected, badly. Stuck on LOS loading screen.
Needed a fresh install anyway.
Stick to the instructions, guys.

whats the exact steps to do in twrp.as i stated in los 16 thread i am blind and require twrp open script command line to flash my lineage builds in the past as i have to also enable accessibility services and talkback and google text to speech . so can that also be done with lineage recovery or am i just stuck with twrp and then install lineage 17.1 and open gapps . What's the best advice in my situation .

Best would be to use built in update. Unless you want to do a clean install, there's no reason to do it.
the update inside of lineage is blocking updating to lineage 17.1 , i tried tha earlier and i jsut tried it again. then it gives the link to the wiki page.so thats not going to work.i will have to do the old method of flashing through twrp or hoping that there is a command line approach to flashing lineage through lineage recovery.

Sorry, I didn't ignore your question, but I first had to check.
It's kind of hard to imagine how a blind person would do it if you can see.
If you have Lineage recovery installed and are able to boot into recovery do the following steps:
Press the Volume Down button 1 time
Press the power button two times
You are now in the adb apply update mode.
There you can install all the zip files you want. I guess you script does the rebooting to system itself.
If you need further help just ask.
@Elektroschmock
Thanks for your hard work!
I have two questions, if lineage recovery wipe the internal storage every time when I wipe the data or system? and when I flash the boot animation it seems not work. May you give some suggestion? Thank you!

The recovery doesn't do anything on it's own. If you want to wipe any partition you need to select the corrosponding entry in the recovery.
I don't know about which bootanimation you are talking about. Do you mean the bootloader?
Before you flash bootloader or radio image please boot to bootloader and check what you have currently installed. You might already have the right one.

In TWRP I can select only wipe data/cache/system, the internal storage can be retained. The lineage recovery haven't the "wipe internal storage" option, so how can I wipe the data/system and keep the internal storage at the same time? Do I need to update the recovery version when I update the system daily build?
I mean I want use the google original boot animation to replace the lineage boot animation, but not success.
I noticed this: "disable audio rotation tracking"
https://review.lineageos.org/c/LineageOS/android_device_moto_shamu/+/272403
Is that the end of stereo sound in landscape? (Of course if that is necessary to fix the loss of sound in calls, it is totally worth it, just curious).

You still have those options:
Go to "Factory Reset"
There you can choose which partition you want to wipe.
- Wipe data/factory reset
- Wipe cache
- Wipe system
I guess you want the "wipe system" option
Sorry we don't support modifying our builds for obvius reasons. If you want to do that you are on your own. Sorry.

It's just a test. Non of us was able to trigger the loss of audio. Youl'll still have stereo but it won't switch channels if you turn your device.
