treble_experimentations VS charter

Unlock and install LineageOS or one of other alternatives.

If you go to the GSI Github used in the video, the newest version available is 12.1, and this has not been yet built for a ARM-AONLY build, which is what Dylan suggested. I used the most recent ARM-AONLY build. If someone wants to try building ARM-AONLY for the newest release of GSI Android 12.1, I would love to hear their results. If someone wants to try flashing a different build like ARM64, I would be interested to hear the results of that as well.

Android 12 requires Linux 4.4 for proper networking and cgroup handling, which the Pixel 1 doesn't support. Skipping those requirements isn't a good idea.

p.s. status on this? thanks https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/issues/1...

Front screen doesn't work with GSI. After installing the Qualcomm IMS apk in the GSI's settings, it shows me a T-mo logo.

You can put a full GSI rom on the Cat S22 like I did! see

There is a reason, why phhusson is putting a lot of work into building their own GSIs even though Google releases official GSI builds. And yet, the list of issues is still long because minor things are broken on different devices.

I want to upgrade my Jelly2 to GSI 12.1. I'm okay with a potential soft-brick. Indeed, I just got this phone and haven't done anything with it yet, so if I have to re-flash it I'm fine with that.

FYI the CAT S22 works now with the Android GSI https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/issues/2295

Or install Android AOSP from here

LineageOS is volunteer produced and maintained, and outside of the device support charter requirements are necessarily expected to be free of bug or error in any given build.

If it's not there (it's not) and you want it to be, feel free to submit a port once you've got one to meet the device requirements and decided you'd like to maintain it.

Everything works linked to https://github.com/LineageOS/charter/blob/master/device-support-requirements.md

LineageOS introduced a "Device Support Requirements" a few years ago. I think that's when they changed their focus to stability over anything else.

Unofficial LineageOS does not have to meet the strict LineageOS Device Support Requirements Charter

Learn everything required to generate a build that satisfies the device requirements, then sign up to be a maintainer for that device and maintain the build

It's essentially stock Android - be ready to lose some OxygenOS features - but they're rock solid on the devices I use official builds (eg: OnePlus 8 Pro, same maintainer as the 7 Pro). And it's important to use official builds because they need to comply with this long list of requirements, reducing the number of things that don't work.

You'd have to either wait for a volunteer maintainer to get a device-specific build up to the requirements, or become that volunteer maintainer yourself.
