Did you manage to find a solution to this?
Tried havoc and All other gsis from https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Generic-System-Image-(GSI)-list
They are good for try but not for daily usage. Waiting for stable a12 gsi, maybe this one will be better.
Here is link for gsi compiller

This may be the wrong thread to ask in, but having owned several Samsung phones there is usually a pretty healthy custom rom scene. I am looking to upgrade my current S9 to an S21 next month, but I am surprised to see that there are no custom roms for the Exynos variant. Does anyone know if there are any in the pipeline? I have not run a stock rom for over 10 yrs, and this would put me off getting an S21....

Just came across this thread and do I understand right that there might be a LOS custom ROM in preparation? That would be great news since I have been on the gsi an it has been sufficient but not great. I am not a programmer but if there is anything to help with in regards to testing or so, let me know!

Dude, there IS a tutorial on how to flash treble GSIs! You're just not willing to use a simple thing like GOOGLE!
https://www.xda-developers.com/flash-generic-system-image-project-treble-device/
Now, from what I read here is that a perquisite is that you don't have a patched boot/ramdisk aka a rooted phone.
If you have a rooted phone, you're going to have to install a fresh, unmodified kernel (boot.img) and then try it
I'll give it a try and try to post back results. I'm not familiar with how project treble works, but I doubt it's as easy as it sounds
@ShaDisNX255 plz share the result. I too have a Galaxy J6 and wanted to have an AOSP based rom in it. If u succeed, plz post it here. Not a big fan of Touchwiz.
hmm i failed myself, tried system-180818-arm-aonly-gapps.img without succes.
1. i've installed TWRP https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-2-0-galaxy-j6-on6-t3819751
2. install Resurrection Remix ARM A Only Devices (system-180818-arm-aonly-gapps.img)
3. on system image
4. reboot
result endless reboot
Samsung probably went out of their way to make it harder.
Too busy to experiment myself but from my first tests I didn't get it to work.
Oh well, so much for "Project treble making it easier"
lol

It's fairly easy to debloat using something like Super R's kitchen.
Why would you buy a J6 if you hate Touchwiz?
There are waaaaay better options that have closer to stock Android experiences than a Samsung phone

Lol that's the issue. Got the phone from my parents. Never would've bought this myself. I like AOSP based roms. Yeah i know its easy to debloat but i just count it as a con of toucwiz(weird as it may be). So here i'm scratching my head and looking all round the internet to find a possible way to turn this to my liking. 4pda also gave negative results, so replying to some recently created threads seemed like my last resort. Btw have u found a working GCAM port for this phone. Tried 6-7 ports but none of them even got installed.

I think the problem is with TWRP cause i read in some other threads that u need some vendor partition enabled( or sthng like this) TWRP to flash Pie GSIs. Not sure if im right or wrong. But this is the first thing that comes to mind.

Ok. I didn't know that. Thnx for the info. Then what is going wrong with the treble GSIs??
Hello! Tomorrow my Pocophone F1 should be here from the mail and I look forward to my upgrade from the Xiaomi Mi A1.
I have grown spoiled of my pure android experience however and know I'm going to be dying to get a similar stock experience on the Pocophone as well.
1. How do you unlock the bootloader without waiting the arbitrary "3 day" limit?
I know how to use the recommended method but multiple places have also made note of the Mi Flash Tool. One site specifically said that this tool can bypass this wait?
2. In what order do I install and make these modifications?
I assume it's Unlock bootloader, TWRP, Root, Lineage OS but am I wrong?
3. Is Lineage OS the best stock android option available right now? I really love how clean and basic my Mi A1 is I know it'll be a nightmare moving to the Miui.
4. The Netflix "HD" DRM issue is hardware based correct? Is there any workarounds?
I'll leave some specifics on the device I picked in case it's out of the ordinary.
Xiaomi Pocophone F1
128GB
Graphite Black
Global version

It appears as though the Mi Flashtool unlock they link as option 2, Is a much older version? I suppose it doesn't have a wait timer built into it perhaps?

Darn was really hoping to get that today.
Could you do me a favor and run Antutu benchmark?
I'm curious if there is a significant performance difference between stock MIUI, and Lineage OS.

Hi Community ,
Hope everyone are doing well.
I'have bought a OP7T Pro that is .... amazing guys :good: but the only problem with me is that i want more costumization, so i was wondring if there is o cosutm rom for it.
when i checked it in xda, i just found 1 omni.
why there is no more rom for this amazing phone ???? why GOD why GOD ???? just kiding.
have a good day everyone ..
Sorry for my bad english
First problem I think is there does not a full TWRP exist.
Definitely because there is no TWRP.
Once it comes, I think the ROMs might be unified for the 7 series, like the kernels.
But yeah, we'll have to wait for TWRP.
Sent from my OnePlus7TPro using XDA Labs
I can't wait guys ?
we really need some features rich custom rom for our device like havoc, evolutionx, bliss. there is a way to flash custom roms like omni do but don't know why devs don't use that way while we wait for twrp. also twrp will take some time, we don't know how long, not for just our device but more and more devices struggle with absence of twrp.
TWRP...sooner the better!
I'm afraid no one knows how development of twrp is going, does developers even work on it?

Of you look on twrp website, there needs to be a lot of alterations and the original twrp creator is on leave for personal reasons for a couple months. If a device dev wants to remanufacture the twrp it would be very difficult for them since it is not just porting and changing IMG destinations
A while ago I was checking the stock rom of the F41, and I discovered something curious, the PIT file of the F41 is the same as the PIT of the M31, it took a while but I finally confirmed my theory, the stock rom of the M31 works on our device !
In theory, the custom VBMETA and custom recovery made for the M31 should work and to my surprise, yes, they do! all you need to do is flash the rom stock of the M31, and then follow the step by step installation of twrp on the M31 page on the XDA.
So far I have not noticed bugs in this stock and the device is even lighter, good luck!
Thats really good news, so custom roms for m31 should also work on f41 right? as m31 has pixel experience and lineage

Hi, @inthedthank you for your reply, it says that vbmeta partition is not accesible through adb when i try to flash it (failed) any workaround with that?
Hi I am kind of noobish to GSIs but I got the google built android 13 GSI working on my s23 last night, couldn't get pixel experience to boot. CrDroid would boot but I was getting a lot of random trips to the bootscreen during set-up.
Haven't tried android 14 yet, but the procedure was pretty simple for android 13 GSI. I had already unlocked bootloader/rooted my s23 before attempting this, which included flashing vbmeta_disabled
Downloaded official google android 13 GSI
Install TWRP with Odin
Reboot to recovery and wiped data
Reboot then into fastboot inside of TWRP
flashing gsi using fastboot: fastboot flash system system image
restarted went through set-up and downloaded Magisk and Pixelfy magisk mod and I am pretty content
If anyone knows how to get another GSI like Pixel Experience or CrDroid to work reliably I am super interested

Hi guys, sorry for the delay. The stock 13 GSI was pretty good albeit not perfect. Smoothness was very nice after force enabling 120hz through adb (battery life is notably worse, as you would expect).
Feels just about as smooth as stock, which is pretty good IMO.
This was the stock google build, so no fingerprint or face unlock. I would imagine custom GSIs would fix some of this.
However I eventually returned to stock since I post videos on social media apps a lot, and the generic camera API on the GSI made it pretty bad to look at.
Fun to try out, just wasn't ready for my needs yet.
I also did try to flash the original recovery for PEX like the user above me mentioned, still no dice. I have been out of the Android scene for a few years prior to this so it is probably something I am doing.
Hope this helps, thanks!

I have tested a few of them. Only bugs are fingerprint scanner, Always on display and VoLTE. It can be used as a daily driver if you can live with these bugs. For me it's fine.

The "Light" version by Andy Yan is the best one for S23U. There's a camera app already included. As for gcam, the one by "Shamim" works but only ultra wide lens. Better use the one included as it has switching between lenses all working.
Bugs are:
AOD
Fingerprint scanner
VoLTE
I think the first 2 can be fixed with Overlays that are flashed using Magisk. It's possible to have a almost 99% working GSI on S23U
You can make phone calls but it will be over 3G networks (not that bad really) and not through 4G as VoLTE still doesn't work
You can easily pass safety net with universal safetynet fix "MOD version" and Google Wallet also works after passing Safetynet

Battery life is better and phone runs noticeably cooler. Uses much less RAM also
