This is really helpful, thanks! Could you give us a review of how well the GSI you've chosen works for this device? Any particular bugs etc?

because until now there is no stable custom recovery for this device so just use stock recovery. and because this tool requires the process in fastboot mode so it requires unlocking the bootloader.

later i will make a thread how to install specific gsi rom.
now i'm trying to use pixel experience last update for daily use.
I will tell my experience at least after using it for 2 weeks and create a thread for how to install it.
and about particular bugs, after fixing some bugs at the beginning now what I feel is just a general bug in the camera.

---

Good tool. Guys, are you satisfied with your GSI installs? (no bugs?). There is echo during phone call (I hear myself) for me and automatic brightness is also broken a bit.. Did you noticed these bugs too?

---

Are you facing any bugs ?
Like volte , camera , calling , sound , 90 hz display ?

volte , camera , calling , sound , 90 hz display it all can be fixed in the phh treble setting.
let me explain what is meant about stable in my thread. what I mean by stable is the installation process. in the script that I made not only to install gsi, the scrit will also disable verification and delete partitions that are not needed by the gsi rom.
for the GSI ROM itself, until now I am still comfortable using it for daily needs.
just a general problem that is not only in the fleur device. but all devices are the same.
common gsi issues : Auto brightness, bluetooth audio(android13) thats only for me. and yaa camera off course is different with stock. but not problem at all.
NOTE: if you want to install gsi with minimum bugs and stable. use vendor from android 11.
because of my experience when using a vendor from android 12 when installing gsi android 13 there was a compatibility problem. like in AOD, Bluetooth, and can't boot in pixel experience.

Can you tell me if you are able to use the camera properly? Like sometimes some lenses don't work in some roms, like the macro or wide.
Is something like that happening or it's all stable.
And installing a android 11 gsi wd be the most stable for daily usage right?

I tried a few gsi's, out of them corvus os (android 12 ver) was the most stable. However, I was unable to make or receive calls on all of the gsi's that I flashed. Also the gcam modules that I tried to install kept crashing everytime I tried to open them. Due to a lack of a stable recovery, I wasn't able to install gapps. Corvus OS didn't have inbuilt gapps. And I cant think of ways to install them.
It's a bummer, really. I really liked how corvus os looked. I guess I have to revert back to old annoying Miui.
If there are ways to fix some if not all the issues, please do post.
Eagerly waiting for the fixes )

Hello, I recommend the gsi roms that come with the gapps included. You can also install the gapps with magisk, I use the pixel android 13 on the redmi note 11s. I don't use custom recovery if it's not stock.
post the CherishOS android 13 rom everything works and is very good.

Tried several GSI (almost all of them ) on M4 pro 4G phone. I don't have any specific demands from phone - just calls, internet, so didn't try bluetooth or else.
+ : Everything kinda worked. 90Hz is in Phh's settings. Calls worked (at least with that rom i tried to call), internet also worked. Android 13 is nice, i liked Pixel Experience and, of cource, endless possibility to tweak in some roms.
- : Well, what surprised me was sluggish desktop/menu scrolling, even with 90Hz screen enabled. Not so smooth like in MIUI, and that was maybe the main reason i got back to default OS.
Camera (even didn't try all those cam tweaks, i remember from other phones that you always end up with "not that quality" feeling when using not a propieritary camera). Not that i use it a lot, so it was not really a game changer, but anyway.
Also, if i understand correctly, to install Magisk you have to flash some additional img file (product_gsi.img to logical partition, without deleting it), but i installed GSI roms on top already rooted boot img, so that was not necessary - root was found when i installed magisk manager.
Roms that loaded:
SuperiorOS
crDroid-8.5
SparkOS
PixelExperience
CherishOS
Bootloop:
RD-A13
ArrowOS
crDroid-9.0

Excellent ! IIRC all A13 are bootlooping, while A12 are not, or i missread through the name of the roms you tested ?
Did you come from A12 or A11 ? I'm currently on A11, and i'm wondering if direct use of GSI A12 is working
Thank you !

All of listed (except CrDroid 8.5 - it is Android 12) are Android 13 GSI roms. And yes, my MIUI is European, so it's Android 11.

Ok, just starting with M4 Pro, i was not aware EU firmware was implying A11 Thank you

I don't understand the difference between fastboot and fastbootd.
Anyone can help me understand ? Thank you ! i can fastboot flash system with fastbootd, while not under fastboot. Is it similar for boot.img ?

fastbootd flashes in a different partition afaik. dont try flashing anything there unless you know what you're doing. Fastboot generally is the answer.

Thank you. I can't flash system (no such partition) if i'm not in fastbootd. I think there is virtual partition. The script to go back to stock flash a big bloc superseding everything.
Basically, fastboot is only for boot / vbmeta, and once i switch to fastbootd, i can find the correct A/B partition scheme. This is whati discovered while reading the script, but i'm surprised never see this mentionned here (or i did not read enough, or this is something related to recent updates).
But damn. Stock is so bloated, it would benefit an EvoX or RRemix GSI, but there are nice things on MIUI.

Ok, after really painful week trying to adopt MIUI once again, i gave it up and looked seriously at GSI roms. Luckily, newest updated in list was Evolution X. Pixel with some tweaks options. Gave it a try and this time i tried to configure it better to my needs.
So, sluggish performance (scrolling etc.) is gone by enabling "disable HW overlays". I'm not a power user, so didn't notice of faster battery discharge. Installed "Version Green 5000mah/30W" (to be precise, i don't know if it's necessary). Phh treble settings also lets you to repair backlight. Got google camera from another thread.
All in all, much better experience (and visual feeling) than MIUI, even with all miuizers, debloating and 3rd party apps. Android13, no stupid MIUI intrusions into my space, no battery saving policy, that disables my usable apps by random. Easy way to use FNG gestures.
Latest rage i got was when i changed something with tweaks and screen won't turn off by pressing power off button, except from launcher screen. Could not find for several days, what and where i changed. That was last drop that convinced me to go deeper the rabbit hole.
