Recently I saw that there appeared a new kind of roms which need a special recovery and, as I could find, have something to do with easier update of Android version. Also I have seen a project: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...-development/experimental-phh-treble-t3709659 which claims to have one rom file that can be flashed on a impressing number of roms. I saw the first comment by author which has a method to know if a device has support for treble and it is refered to run "treble check" app from play store on official rom. The thing is that I experimented and installed treble rom (lineage OS) from redmi 4x thread and did the check if the device is supported (the screenshot is attached below) and saw that on this rom it is supported, in contrary to MIUI. The question is about this controversion: is this device supported or not? Can I flash these ROMs from the thread? Are treble ROMs really like a universal flashable file for multiple devices?
If you flash GSI (Generic System Image) it will work on our device. Yes Treble roms are universally flashable if GSI is used, with some minimal modification for device specific. So porting roms will easier, and less time consuming.
Anyone can correct me, if i 'm wrong.

So if I flash the rim from this link specifically on redmi 4x, the device will have no harm at all?

Yes, but follow the instruction there. Our device is A-only device. Use the special recovery here for flashing. Or flash the lineageos 15.1 treble edition first just find in on our device forum.

I have seen that seamless updates require A and B partition. I want to know what I am loosing with this device by having only the A partition (what really is seamless update and how does it work)? P.S. sorry for being annoying.

As far as i know the seamlees update works this way:
In slot A you have installed any OS Example Android 8.1
In slot B there is a backup of the OS Om slot A
This mean you can install the ota of Android P (example) in one of the slots while you are on Facebook for example
Currently I've lineage os on my tablet (t510), I'm searching for something else more stable and with a bit more functions.
Any ideas ?

If you want roms with more function, try heading over to the project treble section of xda and flashing some GSI images. Currently using phhusson's stock Android 10 with go gapps but you might like to use a ROM with more features.

Based on my current understanding, project treble aims to make it easier for OEMs (like Samsung) to update android. Here's a more in depth read about project treble: https://www.computerworld.com/artic...ect-treble-android-upgrade-fix-explained.html
A GSI is a Generic System Image that can be flashed on top of existing vendor code. So it makes it easier to change/update your android OS without companies like Samsung having to modify their hardware compatibility code (that's the goal anyways) which leads to faster updates.
For us enthusiasts, that means we can flash the same stock android GSI ROM, lineageOS GSI ROM, resurrection remix GSI, etc. on any phone supporting project treble (all devices that came out with android 9+ & some android 8).That's the same GSI file on any device with a recent version of VNDK. It's not all perfect for compatibility yet, but I've yet to run into any issues.
Yup! As @Roarmaster said you can check out Project Treble page. I too use GSIs and have flashed 3 GSIs so I can recommend you some. In project treble section for AB devices search for Bless GSI, it has lot of customization and works quite well, selinux enforcing, megisk safety net passes and google play certification all by default.

Thank you for the tip, this sounds like an interesting option. I'm looking at flashing a custom ROM onto my SM-T510 in the hope of improving the performance as the multitaking on the stock rom isn't great. Can I ask have you been flashing A, B, or A/B ROMS? I've installed two different Treble checker apps and they gave conflicting results.

Flash the rooms from the A/AB section of project treble. When checking for treble compatibility, use the app recommended on Phusson's GSI page as most GSIs are based on his work. If you want to flash a ROM, make sure you flash the arm32-binder64-ab version (like it says from the treble app) for the SM-T510.
Amazing! Thank you for the info and links @Roarmaster, I really appreciate the help. I've known about project Treble for a while but I've been out of the custom ROM scene for quite a few years, so I had no idea you could flash like this. I'll give one of Phusson's roms a go. Thanks again!
Has any one tried to flash a GSI rom on the P5?

Are you talking about GSI in general, or do you want to run 12L?
Either way, here is the official Android Source page. This is for experts only as it is developmental software. Do not attempt if you are inexperienced. Do not use this for your daily driver.

GSI custom roms
I failed to install PE+ A11, if somebody success, please mention all steps
After spending a couple of weeks searching for LineageOS for the A6 (not A6+), I've discovered that there's very little support for this device. Why is this?
Probably smaller userbase if we compare with other devices. Furthermore many things are common for most of the Exynos 7870 devices. Lack of roms shouldn't bother you, because we have GSI, so in this way you can run Android 11 and even Android 12 on A6.
Also, part of community is active on Telegram.
My A6 works very well on Lineage R mod (Android 11).

So it's not so much as ROMs for the A6 but instead more GSIs for the A6? If I'm understanding correctly

1. Go to custom recovery (recommended will be OrangeFox R11.0).
2. Wipe partitions: cache, dalvik, data, vendor, system.
3. Choose GSI from link above (I can recommend Lineage R mod but you can try different ones; choose arm32_binder64 vndklite builds), download, extract and flash it as "System Image" through custom recovery.
4. Flash vendor for A6 via custom recovery.
5. Optionally flash any custom kernel for A600X.
6. Reboot to system.
If you want typical OneUI rom then use RadicalQuack or JynxOS.

sorry lineage R mod support for A6+ S605G ?
Getting confused with the different versions for A6 / A6+ etc.
I have an SM-600FN model which I think is A6 (not S or +).
It's currently running stock 10 - is there a good 64bit ROM for this? I was thinking it'd be easy to pick out but it is old... I could only see an Android 6 64bit ROM?

For A600FN pretty stable arm64 rom is RadicalQuack. arm64 GSI is also possibile to run on arm64 vendor, but it's not perfect (unstable).

never mind. i found a 64 bit vendor on this forum and decided to try it, and now it works.
just to clarify, the arm images werent working either, so its not just working because im using the right architecture

It brought you to download mode probably just because you used wrong architecture of GSI. Vendor from my previous post is intended for arm32_binder64 (A64 - not arm64) vndklite GSI images.

i just used a lineageos 18 gsi image and the treble vendor, but it turns out that while it did get to the boot screen that says lineageos (which gave me tremendous amounts of hope), it would NEVER boot up, so dont do what i did i guess lol

Android 12 works fairly well on the same vendor, but flash this recovery at first, because older OrangeFox can stuck while boot with Android 12.
I am using Samsung m31, Exynos 9611, this phone is Project Treble supported. Does anyone tried GSI?
As it is running on exynos any chance?
Yes, it runs. I am currently using Corvus OS on M31s.
Install TWRP as mentioned for your device and then follow this guide
How to flash a Generic System Image (GSI) on Project Treble supported devices
So your device supports Project Treble, what does that mean for you? It means you can flash a Generic System Image such as LineageOS or Resurrection Remix! Enjoy AOSP-based custom ROMs! Here's a guide on how to install these ROMs.

Installed TWRP as mentioned in the forum.
Followed the steps for TWRP way of installing GSI in the link of my precious posts in this thread. Normally, boot into the GSI. That's it.
PS - Only Corvus OS allows SafetynetBypass. I have tried it on phhussons GSI and haven't been able to pass safetynet. Even dabbled with magisk hide prop config. Wasn't able to achieve anything.

Yeah, you might encounter some unstability. But overall experience is really good. The phone is responsive most of the time. You could try if you want to see what it is. I haven't gone back to Corvus, ever since Android 12 update came, so maybe the new firmware might have added some fixes.

Yeah, I'm fascinated by the responsiveness of the corvus os. And this new android stock update is eating up more RAM. And I feel one UI 4.1 is not good as 3.1.
I'm thinking of weather to switch to gsi or not.
For long usability, what do you think will be the better option?
Switch to GSI or reset the existing stock rom user data?

Have you rooted your phone? If you have, give the GSI a try. If not, try following ONE UI Optimization guide on xda itself. Then, decide, whether you want it or not. I use slightly debloated ONE UI 4 rooted and with certain floating feature tweaks and build.prop tweaks as well. It has given me good mileage, but not as much as the Redmi Note 5 Pro, when I installed Superior OS A12 on it. But it will be definitely better than factory.
