Project Treble Support?

Hi, just recently purchased this device through T-Mobile. Figured it was a great deal on a device with an actual unlockable bootloader from a carrier. Updated to 8.0 and noticed there's no Treble support. Does anyone know why this is? It's odd since this is one of the few devices that already utilizes the A/B slots for updates. I'm guessing Moto doesn't use a vendor partition? Is there any other reason why they wouldn't implement Treble support? And is there anything we can do on our end to try and encourage or enable support (doubting enabling since I don't think there's a vendor partition)? Just looking for more info on the situation.
Thanks

Can I Install Android Pie GSI to Xiaomi Mi6 and How?

Hi everyone, just decided to flash a new ROM to my Mi6 and ran into Project Treble. There is a lot of threads and discussions about Treble and installation to Mi6 and I decided to open a thread which people can help me and future Treble noobs Thanks in advance!
Also I saw something about partitions ( A B and A/B ) and searched which one I'm using and which one is better? Found Mi6 is using A partition table but can't found info about which one is better and can I switch between them....

A-only is better for custom ROMs since it's straight-forward.
A/B results in two system, vendor and boot partitions ( and possibly other ones too ) , excelling at seamless updates ( OTAs install on the B partitions while you are using your phone and when you reboot, the phone switches to the B partitions and you can use the update right away ).
However, on A/B devices, there's no dedicated recovery partition so you have to infuse TWRP into the boot.img just like Magisk.

I don't think that device has treble support, sorry. But still you can search for custom ROMs

Options for Verizon variant?

I've been searching around for some custom roms, I'm seeing a lot for specific variants but no mention of the Verizon one. I'm also admittedly having trouble with XDA's new system and maybe I'm just not searching correctly. Is anyone out there familiar with the VZ variant and if there are any options in aftermarket roms to bring thing up to date?
According to Samsung's website

If you have the 8 inch version, it's using an Exynos 7570. If you have the 9.6 inch version, it's using a Qualcomm MSM 8916.
If that's true for the 9.6 inch version, there's a possibility that my 17.1 ROM for the SM-T560NU will work with the Verizon, however
1. you won't get LTE. I don't have the LTE version and I will not build it because I can't test it.
2. your Verizon tablet may have a locked bootloader and it won't allow any custom rom flashing.
3. even though they use the same SoC/cpu, there's always a chance of a bricked device.
4. it's obviously untested.
5. if you don't know adb, heimdall, odin, fastboot, twrp, etc and how to recover back to your stock rom, I suggest you don't attempt it.
6. you need to backup all your data, partitions, etc so you can revert back to stock or whatever rom you are using.
You can do your own homework/research for all the above.
If you want to build your own custom Verizon rom, I have provided the roomservice file and all the necessary changes required to build the SM-T560NU in

Then you have to add the LTE libraries, change the various config options to tell the rom to use LTE/RIL, change the assert statements to allow SM-T567 and possibly make kernel modifications.
Its the 8" version, so I guess this is a non-starter.
Maybe I can root and debloat the stock rom enough to make it worthwhile, but I was really hoping to throw some lineage goodness this way. :/
Also I'm pretty sure the Verizon Tab E 8.0 is bootloader locked, just like the AT&T Tab E 8.0 is, so custom recoveries and ROM's are no-gos on both of those devices.

Question When TWRP for OnePlus 9 Pro?

Dear,
I need to have TWRP for rooting my OP9Pro but it is of course not available for the OP9Pro since it is brand new. Since i am experienced with flashing TWRP on OnePlus phones i already now that TWRP officialy doesn't support the latest phones of OnePlus so i know that the TWRP's used for that are from Mauronofrio and others. But does anyone know how long it would take till someone has developed a reliable version of TWRP for it and maybe also how long it would take till MSMDownloadtool become available for us?
Regards,
Kuno
It will become available when it does. No one knows when. One day you may see it. Or not. Flip a coin and good luck!
You also do not need TWRP for root.
There is already this thread asking for TWRP since the start of this sub-forum : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/how-come-we-dont-have-root-and-twrp-yet.4252335/
For rooting without TWRP, here is an explanation : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...gisked-boot-root.4252373/page-4#post-84747985
Unlocking the bootloader is done by rebooting in fastboot mode and fastboot oem unlock

I don't think this is applicable because the recovery is a part of the boot image and this guide is for creating a standalone recovery image I think since android O (someone can correct me if I'm wrong on which android version introduced this)

Well, this guide still covers the basics of setting up a tree and building. You'll need that regardless if your device has a recovery partition or not.

How can I use GSI to boot Android 12 in my LG V40

As I have stated that I want to boot Android 12 on my LG V40 ThinQ (Specifications: SOC: SD845, RAM/ROM: 6/64 mentioning just in case) I want I know if it supports dynamic partitions (I couldn't find and info online about Dynamic partitions on LG V40)? Is doing this method safe (resulting in bricking and stuff)? Should I install a custom ROM instead?
Install Infos Treble on your device and it will provide all the information you're looking for. You should also take a look into your device-specific forum for more information regarding custom ROMs.
