As official Gapps was released, more Pie based custom ROMs were released with dfferent built-in kernels.
But: do you know about any custom kernels - mainly overclocked ones - for Pie?
I know, I have to wait patiently, I'm just curios about the options because I found a great ROM with minimal bugs, the only problem is the kernel they use, I got used to much faster performance.
Hi!
i am new to the treble-enabled stuff, this is the first phone i own that is treble capable and i have a few questions. I think they can apply to other NOBS, so here i go hoping some nice guy will help me understand:
Background: i have the redmi 5plus (global) which i have unlocked (after painful 720h) and i have flashed Pixel Experience 8.1 rom, but i like to experiment and it seems most of interesting roms are on treble.
1. By default, "vince" is not treble enabled. (treble check app says so)
2. "vince" seems to be an "A only" device, not A/B device,
Main Question: Now, what should i do to try (safely) some GSI roms (like here XDA LOS 16 GSI)?
Sub-Question 1: I must most likely flash some other things first, i guess... like a vendor or a treble image? Where do i find it?
Sub-Question 2: I have installed TRWP recovery, is it treble enabled or should i ALSO find a treble enabled recovery?
If i got it all wrong, please i would be happy to stand corrected!
Hi.
Well, yeah, you need to install another vendor, as far as I know, OrangeFox is the treble enabled recovery.
Someone already explained this in this post.
Have fun. :fingers-crossed:

Thank you! Sometimes hard to find the right threads...
Installed orangefox, cool recovery!
One last question... how does kernel works with treble? Do i need treble enabled kernels if i want to change the kernel? Are they provided with the treble-enabled rom already or i get to keep the existing kernel? Is the kernel on a dedicated partition separated from the GSI and the Vendor? (i am starting to understand this, maybe)?

Months ago it started to appear some projects about android 9.0 before of Google revealed it as android Pie, then at this time devices with treble support also can support GSIs from these projects according two specific conditions: the processor (first qualcomm, then exynos, kirin and mtk were supported) and kind of partition system A-A/B.
At this first times was needed to flash a vendor treble supported rom to add treble support and flash over it a GSI 9.0. without the need to flash other kernel.
In this forum there are a lot of GSIs that eventually could work in our device but it could be many bugs https://forum.xda-developers.com/project-treble/trebleenabled-device-development.
Now is not needed to complicate the job flashing a vendor, then a GSI and maybe a custom treblized kernel so started to appear first developments of roms running 9.0 and these roms will work as exactly did it any rom 7.1 or 8.1, in the future they could be include treble support.
This is the short story.
Hello everyone!
For a while now I've been looking for a MIUI based ROM for my P20 Lite, currently I'm using Lineage OS.
I found on a site a One OS GSI ROM but I don't know if it can be installed on the device.
Has anyone tried installing something like this and could give me any recommendations or maybe know of a better option?
I would really appreciate your help.
The link to the site where I found the ROM is this: https://tweakguy.com/download-one-os-miui-12-5/
It's GSI, it can be installed on any phone with GSI support, however, the problem is the boot process, and if it booted up, it'll probably load a lot of bugs which needs maintenance by a maintainer.
Also I don't feel comfortable to these sites, if that's true, it should be shared amongst a lot of forums.
Hello, don't download MIUI, OneUI or any other skins not designed for our phone. Only AOSP firmware based on phhusson sources works on our device!
You can try MIUI 11 Lite GSI (so far the only one that has booted) . But there are a lot of bugs - fingerprint, NFC, setup wizzard, USB debugging, device certification ....

Hello,
It's been a while I update myself about what's going on here. Please I would like to do full custom ROM installation on my 3 years old pocophone F1. I would to know step by step to follow. I am on stock ROM MIUI global 12.0.3 stable. And I haven't done anything on the phone as regarding to development area.
Please where do I start from if I want to run custom ROM on the phone with necessary things that won't make me regrets my actions?
Thanks all in anticipation.
Please let me know where to start from? I don't want to do what I know nothing about.
crDroid is an excellent choice. In my other devices I regularly change ROMs but in F1 it's been crDroid pretty much exclusively other than a brief dalliance with a few others in the beginning. Since you are on the latest MIUI, after unlocking bootloader, which wipes all data, you need to first flash the recovery of your choice, TWRP or Orangefox etc. Once that is done just need to flash the crDroid ROM zip which includes the Vendor and Firmware. If you are new to custom ROMs better to start with the crDroid 7.15 which is the final A11 build. A12 builds are pretty stable but several features are missing compared to it's predecessor which will be added in the coming months. A12 installation is a bit convoluted for now as the recoveries haven't been updated to handle it yet. A11 builds don't come encrypted by default.
Last week I updated my T225 (3/32GB) to the latest A13 from Samsung (CWAC2). After the update, It seems that my tablet has improved in terms of overall responsiveness and battery consumption. However, after reading several threads from this forum, it seems that the stock A13 is mediocre at best compared to AOSP-based ROMs. But the process of flashing AOSP-based A13 ROMs (thru custom AP) is complex and tedious due to lack of functional custom recovery like TWRP (not to mention the risk of failing and soft-brick). Before I would try these AOSP A13 ROMs, I need to ensure that it's totally worth it.
I am just curious about how this latest stock Samsung A13 ROM compares with AOSP-based A13 ROMs in terms of performance, responsiveness, stability, features, battery consumption, storage space , etc.
Feedback from anybody who moved to AOSP-based ROMs is highly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

I'm running pure Google A13/GMS on latest XAR firmware. It is MUCH snappier than stock and has similar, if not slightly better battery life. Limitations I've found are Auto-Brightness does not work, screen rotation does not reorient soft keys, charger stats are not available to apps like accubattery, face unlock isn't available, and charging seems slower. These things are mostly fixable by building overlay files but that's quite a chore. I guess I'm calling the pro/cons a draw.

I recently bought a brand-new Samsung Galaxy A52 4G. Ran it with stock Samsung Android 13, but ultimately got the phone because I wanted to install Lineage OS on it. Have had it running Lineage OS 20 for about a month, and it works better (and faster) than the stock ROM.

Thanks. I appreciate all your feedback.
I've already downloaded what I need to flash AOSP GSIs (including a couple of ROMs) to test it myself next week. Thankfully, there is a much better and simpler way of flashing GSIs using fastbootd. My big thanks to Tom for that (including his feedback from using different GSIs).
I would just like to highlight what ktdt00 just mentioned "calling the pros/cons a draw." Because similar with my own experience, flashing AOSP-based ROMs does not necessarily translate to all positive experiences. There has always been a trade-off to consider. For sure you'll get a snappy, responsive device with AOSP ROMs but along with it are some bugs and quirks here and there that can be annoying -- not to mention the fact that in most cases you'll be compelled to root and install+configure a lot of modules to fix the device to your liking (pass SafetyNet attestation, CTS, widevine L1, banking apps, restore Dolby features, etc.).
My tab is T225 3/32. Little RAM, little storage, old SOC. It needs a lightweight ROM. Im Hoping to find one with more pros and negligible cons.
