LineageOS or any other custom rom on the Lenovo TAB M8 (fhd) (2nd gen)? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The default rom is stuck at android 10, slow and filled with trackers and stuff.
Are there any other custom roms which are android 11+, open source and are degoggled like LineageOS? Please no prethemed roms as i don't like them i just want to upgrade my tablet and remove spyware.

I second this. I'd LOVE to be able to use this tablet again... it's so god awfully slow these days.

same here, cannot find any custom rom, shame it's a good tablet but painfully slow I wish we could have a pure android rom.

Hmm, looks like GSI's work very well on this tablet, just use A/B GSI's and you are good to go.
Almost all roms on this page work. I use the pixelexperience android 13 rom as that is the most pure usable android rom i could find.

I have tried PixelExperience 10, 11, 13, SparkOS, Google's gsi 13, ProjectElixir 3.8 and they all work fine.
I guess most AOSP roms work, and I use project elixir as my daily driver.

Ah that's nice. Just picked up a 8 today and just started looking into rooting and alternative ROMs so it's great to have a starting point...

Any Android Go ROMs available for i9100?

Are there any Android Go ROMs available / underdevelopment for i9100? My phone has gone extremely slow and I think only something like Android Go could revive the old work horse.
Thanks for your time.
The unofficial LineageOS 15.1 builds by rINanDO (https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/development-derivatives/rom-lineageos-15-0-t3674567) are the first such ROMs currently, although, as of right now, it is in WIP phase, and although it is stable enough not to crash every few moments, a lot of things may be broken or not work at all.
I was wondering too. Thank you for the answer. I hope in 6months the bugs will be removed.

Are you sure those rINanDO's builds are based on Android Go and not full grown Android 8.1 ?

By nature, all Android Go builds are based on full grown Android 8.1, as they are built the same way, from the same source code, but the Android Go builds have an additional build flag attached at the very end.
So yes, they are based on Android Go, which in turn is based on Android 8.1.
and the flag is set !

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?

Hello, has anyone (using a Treble Rom) ever had a successful SafetyNet test?

LineageOS : how to ?

Hi everybody.
I was given a professionnal Galaxy S21 phone.
On the LineageOS wiki i can't find this device.
I also looked at /e/ but for no better results.
Is there still a way to have a free OS on this phone ?
How do you mean free OS? do you just mean a custom rom that's free? Then I could help.

And if you mean that you can just install GSI roms on your phone because your phone supports project treble
Here's a android 12 beta GSI ROM:
Download Android 12 Beta 3.1 GSI (Generic System Image)
Finally, the Android 12 Beta 3.1 goes live for the eligible Pixel devices after the release of beta 3 on the Google I/O 2021 Developer Conference event in
www.getdroidtips.com
1 thing YOU DON'T INSTALL IT LIKE A CUSTOM ROM! OTHERWISE IT ISN'T GOING TO WORK OR YOU WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE
YOU NEED TO KNOW HOW TO INSTALL A GSI ROM BECAUSE IT'S A GSI ROM
And then it's perfectly okay

I don't know if your kernel is in here
Here's also a nice custom rom where you can customize almost everything
The different maps are for the different kernels so click on your kernel

You install this just like a normal custom rom

You could find many more custom roms but these were just the biggest custom roms that are supported for your device
if you want to find other ones you could maybe look around on this website
15 Best Custom ROMs for Android You Can Install
Looking for the best Android custom ROMs based on Android 10, 11, 12, or 13? Here are 15 best custom ROMs for Android you can use in 2023.
beebom.com
But you could also just search "Best custom roms" or "Best GSI roms" on google
and check if they are supported with your device (Gsi ROMS are always supported because you have project treble)
I hope this helped you!
Thanks.
I'm not sure that I understand everything though...
Free as in Free Software, so I was mostly thinking of LineageOS (since I guess Replicant isn't an option on this model), but I'm open to other propositions (as long as there's no proprietary code in them of course).

Can I install a GSI rom through TWRP on the LG G8X ThinQ without damaging it in any way?

What's up guys? I have a question, currently my device has Lineage 19.1 ROM installed (Unofficial), I'm not having any problems or anything like that, quite the contrary, it's super stable, but I'd like to test some GSI ROMs on my device, since there aren't many build options for it specifically (LGE G850UM). So I wanted to know if I can leave Lineage 19.1 and install a GSI through TWRP without having to go back to Stock ROM... how to do this smoothly? Also wanted an indication of a GSI on Android 12 or 13 that runs stably on it. Thanks for reading this far!

Hey! If you have enough knowledge about GSIs (image type required for your device, disable Verity etc. ), then you can proceed to flash any GSI(present version or above). As I don't have the device model that you're having, i can't say much about it. CLICK HERE for more information, maybe you'll find something about your device.
Note: it's best to have stock firmware downloaded in case something goes wrong

can't understand clearly what are you saying. I have no idea about GSI image.Is it possible to get android 11 rom from there?tell me please?
I didn't find the classic ROM for this version
GSI is generic system image, you need to follow this procedure
[GSI][PHH][13] Guide & Support [Mojito][Sunny]
Why should I use a GSI ? Mojito already have custom ROMs ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Yes. But this thread exists due to the following reasons: You don't wanna fear about devs stop shipping updates. You don't wanna re-flash your custom recovery / kernel after each...

https://sourceforge.net/projects/pixelexperiencerom/files/mojito/ here it is my friend. Plus and normal editions, vanilla and gapps variants. I need a favor if you can test, i dont have pc right now so i dont wanna risk it. See if you can flash this 11 version with the recovery from 13 version. Im on 13 but i want to test 11 and cannot sideload recovery or anything else because i dont have pc or otg either. Only have sdcard.
