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

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?

Just can't understand why...Really wish to have that one....:crying:
Hello, has anyone (using a Treble Rom) ever had a successful SafetyNet test?
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.
Are there any Custom ROM's or Stock Android options for haydn devices? I'm open to something that is not 100% working with a few exceptions though.
I haven't tried it yet, but since we have a partially working and unsupported TWRP, try out Pixel Experience GSI or AOSP GSI. Someone in this device forum suggested but not sure if it would even work in the first place.

I'm curious to know the same. Waiting patiently.
Hi guys,
I am forced to upgrade my moto G5 plus due to a network update
In my moto G5 plus I have installed dotOS with android 11 and I am really happy with it, and I would like "clone" it on a Moto G Power.
Here are some questions:
1) since Moto G Power (2021) is not listed on dotOS but a GSI ARM64 available, has anyone experienced with that? I am also open to other custom ROMS (also Lineage OS doesnt have this devicelisted)
2) I also noticed that TWRP is not available for Moto G Power (2021), is there a good alternative or I have to use adb fastboot?
Thanks!
Edit:
I just found the thread:
[RECOVERY][UNOFFICIAL] TWRP 3.6.0-11 [BORNEO] Android 11 Based (updated 12/11/2021)
I can try that for question 2

Presently I don't believe it is possible to have a custom rom as we need the kernel be released for it to have a chance, or a compatible similar device and its kernel.
Hi Onoitsu and thank you for the reply,
so I guess I could go with the stock ROM. I noticed that I can use https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/borneo/ has an official and blankflash (not sure what the difference is). If I understand the process correctly I could:
1) unlock bootloader
2) flash twrp in recovery
3) flash blankflash.zip (or official?) through twrp
4) flash magisk through twrp
5) restore my old phone dotOS android 11 backup through twrp
and I should have all the apps and data as in the old device?

The blankflash is only if you can no longer flash anything by usual methods
Blankflash and EDL Mode
Is my device in EDL Mode?
How to boot into EDL Mode
Thanks for the info!
Should the reasoning above work if I use official instead of blankflash?

Neither the blank flash nor official firmware are twrp compatible.
Thanks sd_shadow for the info, it is really helping me out.
I saw your post for using LSMA, but I couldnt find a Linux version. Is there one? Or the only other option I have is going through the fastboot process?

Mostly concerned because google has said they're going to stop their 'less secure app' thing at the end of this month and it might mean textnow will stop working outright for people that don't use play services.
Hopefully anyone working on making a custom rom for Borneo will see this thread and maybe give an idea if its going to happen.
Does this help?
If I wanted to start from scratch what would I need to know to make my own custom rom? Don't need a phone, will only ever use wifi. Just need microg basically.
The following statement is on the dotOS FAQs:
Q: My device is not supported! What should I do?!A: First reason can be that our development team doesn't have your device to support it or we no maintainer applied for this device. You can always use our GSI builds if your phone supports Treble Project.
Here we have this statement:
... Google requires every Certified Android device launching with Android 8.0 Oreo and above to support Treble.
Here borneo is listed as a supported device.
Does this mean dotOS GSI supports MotoGPower 2021 without the need of vendor blobs?

@sd_shadow
Two sites that potential rom developers may want to check out:
1) https://github.com/moto-common
check out: https://github.com/moto-common/andr...ernel/blob/12/dtb/bengal-moto-base-borneo.dtb
2) https://github.com/moto-sm6115
Scroll through the list of repositories, particularly in the moto-common site
@sdembiske that looks promising, I am willing to give it a shot and contribute to the community. Is there a good guide on how to build the kernel with vendor tree/blobs etc...?
Reference "Moto G Power 2021 XT2117-4 Firmware Extractions" - You will find the extracted kernel etc. in the boot.img extracted link that you can download - there are many other extractions that you hopefully can use to build a custom or AOSP rom.
Your best bet would be to add a pre-built kernel in the build - you can google that for how-to's.

The Xiaomi poco m3 has the same SoC and other innards as the Moto G Power 2021 and it also has unofficial Lineage OS 19 support. I am considering hitting them up and using their code as part of the build. I'm also requesting Motorola Mobility LLC to release the kernel source for Android 11. I already have a device tree for Borneo on my github. Me and Fazwalrus have a telegram chat set up for the ROM development here

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?

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.
