Project treble and s9+ - Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers

Hello s9+ users.
Although there is a couple 9.0 and 8.1 gsi build....there is a whole forum on xda with builds....my question is...
Will the other project treble forums builds work?
I know our phone is arm64 but some builds say arm64-a or arm64-a/b ..... what would I flash?
Thank you

Not really 100% sure, but I'm guessing the kernel may matter. If your on an Exynos device, and most GSI are built for snapdragon I'd assume since that's the majority of devices. Not sure it it's cross-processor or not, but something to look into.

Android Oreo: Project Treble?

Hi,
Has Android Oreo brought Project Treble to the Honor 9?
PalakMi posted here (#6 comment) that since Honor devices has a separate vendor partition Android Oreo could bring project treble to them.

If you go to the treble thread, you'll see that someone already running AOSP on Honor 9
Really interested to know if someone else tried this treble rom. Please share any feedback if you had.

I thought only phones shipped with oreo had proper partitions for treble?! And that phones updated to oreo after could not be partitioned because it could brick your phone.

i know that it could be done, but was not necessarily required for manufacturers.
And yes, huawei enabled treble via an ota update to android 8/emui8 - btw huawei has the new partitions since nougat.

Thank you for answering my questions, I have a last one . Considering that with treble only system partition is flashed, from my understanding, kernel is stock and works with the treble custom rom, is it possible that a device like the honor 9 could get a treble AOSP Android P Rom in the future or that Oero kernel would need to be updated with a full stock EMUI Android P update?

From what I read around the web, it is possible.

i dont think that it will be that easy to port a new major android version, but we'll see how google handles the vendor versioning part.
It is already a big struggle to get 8.1 running upon 8.0 treble implementation, just because fundamental things changed in the main treble implementation.

Is there any post where I can read more about those problems? I thought it would be the same underlying vendor layer between versions from now on :/

Ours isn't an Android Go device, nor does it have Project Treble enabled. The answer to your question is no, I'm afraid.
it is possible. try the low ram patch on your current rom and see if you like it

Project treble ROMs

So, am I correct in believing that almost all treble ROMs will boot on the H9, if so, there is an entire forum dedicated to project treble development on XDA, the H9 is listed as supported for at least AOSP 8.1.
Anyone think that other ROMs will work?
Link to forum: https://forum.xda-developers.com/project-treble/trebleenabled-device-development
I'm not sure if I want to risk bricking my device, it's too much effort to unbrick it etc...
Yes. I flashed LineageOS and AOSP, both are working fine. Due to us not having a properly working TWRP for Android 8.1 I couldn't install any Gapps manually meaning you can only use a bare custom rom without Gapps or Roms with pre-installed Gapps (like the AOSP Rom in your shared forum).
Have you tried the Pixel one?

Clarification on treble & ROMS

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.

How to install custom on Android if the hardware is not present on custom rom device list?

Hey, I want to install Pixel Experience custom rom on my Android Phone but unfortunately my phone vendor is not present on devices tab. In this case what should I do? How can I install custom rom on my Android phone?
My Phone is Techno Spark 6 GO.
you could try GSI but that device shipped Android (Go edition) usually for low ram. bootloader is unlockable?
Wnat is GSI? Generic System Image? Even if I am able to unlocked bootloader on my device then what then? Since I am not able to find custom OS for it.
