Hello,
So I'm about to try my luck with a GSI 11 image, however, the tutorial on phhusson's experimentation repo is a bit outdated (Android 9).
I'm coming from a custom Android-10-based ROM.
So I'm wondering two things:
1. Do I need to flash vendor or firmware right before flashing the new GSI-11 image? (Yes, before this step I would have wiped everything etc.)? And if yes, which one, will vendor suffice, or do I need firmware?
2. Does the firmware/vendor IMD needs to be for Android-11? Because I see Xiaomi doesn't have an official one for 11, yet there are already custom ROMs for 11, so I assume flashing an Android-10 vendor/firmware is ok?
Thanks for your time
Hello,
If you want to try Android 11 then you can use the tutorial on phh github, and vendor can be any version (9, 10, 11), even basic from MIUI. Just not all of them are built for Android 11, which means that there will be some bugs (overlays, for example the camera may not work or rounded corners will not etc ...) When I installed Android 11, I found a well patched vendor here:
Android 11 Beta 3 Redmi Note 7 PIXEL2XL_BETA_3_PORT_LAVENDER_JS by JSPiRiT1337
Android 11 Redmi Note 7 PIXEL2XL_BETA_3_PORT_LAVENDER_JS by JSPiRiT1337 Status: Unofficial Based on: Pixel 2 XL Android version: 11 R Build Author: JSPiRiT1337 Bug: The access point does not work TWRP installation:eek:rangeFox/Skyhawk -wipes...

It's an Android 11 port but the vendor is android 10 so if you're not happy you can put Android 10 instead of Android 11
(If you try install magisk you must use phh version instead normal version, link: https://mega.nz/file/ViwRjKhK#9RIkCzPyRy_mOhHAnT_W9fuB1nv2iuxUwNqgZmANAm4) is Canary Debug version and you can easy update form Magisk XDA forum (just write in to google " Magisk Canary Debug apk")
Good luck in the installation
EDIT: you can use any version of miui firmware but after installing Android, dont update firmware because you didnt boot. (you can install newer firmware but after that you must wipe data and reflash boot/kernel and magisk.)

Thank you.
Did you only use the vendor from that particular ROM, or did you install that ROM itself. Currently debating if I wanna install GSI or a "proper" ROM. In any case I'm trying to de-google this phone (softly not hardcore), so GSI is interesting since I can install a de-googled version and then MicroG on top of it.

Hi,
I have a Nexus 5 running on the latest stock Marshmallow build, but rooted with Chainfire SuperSu.
I'd like to flash Lineage OS on it, but I understand that the latest Lineage OS doesn't support the Nexus 5.
What are the newest versions that do? I'd like to have it on Nougat or Oreo.
Thanks!

Custom rom is device dependent like that: https://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/orig-development/rom-lineageos-16-0-nexus-5-t3921162
That's an unofficial build. Are there official builds? Didn't Lineage OS use to support the Nexus 5?

For non microG you will have to search archives
Original Android 12 or custom ROM ?
Android 12 has not been released yet. However you can use the beta/developer preview GSIs flashed through fastboot. Apparently the system UI crashes so I'd wait until a proper release
Not beta Android 12 available for Poco F3 yet. https://www.mi.com/global/service/support/androidsbeta.html
GSIS Rom is buggy as @Robert314 said.
Hi all,
i need your support.
I did not manage to install Android GSI / Treble (lineage-18.1-treble_arm64_a) to the:
Umidigi_A3_Pro_N
with
Android 8.1:
and current Software Version:
UMIDIGI_A3_Pro_N_V1.4_20190416
from here: https://community.umidigi.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=18713
I tried this version:
lineage-18.1-20211214-UNOFFICIAL-treble_arm64_avS.img.xz
from:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/andyyan-gsi/files/lineage-18.x/lineage-18.1-20211214-UNOFFICIAL-treble_arm64_avS.img.xz/download
without sucess, the device does not boot after flashing the .img file within CWRP (Team Win Recovery Project 3.3.1.0 repack Cleopatra81
treble_arm64_a should be the right image, or am i wrong, my Treble Info Check App said so, see attached screenshots?
I also asked for Support in the Smartphone thread, but maybe someone has here some ideas to fix it?

I saw in an another thread someone recommending to try GSI custom roms.
Can i install a GSI rom on this device via fastboot?
If i can, how?
Should i?
Can i get security updates?
Can i revert to the offical stock miui if something doesn't work?
My main source of information was this github page :
https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki
Hello everyone, I bought a new phone and need to install Nethunter with a custom kernel, who has the kernel for this phone or who knows how to build the kernel on the device?
Their website still says Android 8.1 is recommended and the latest Mi image is
Xiaomi Mi 9T with Miui 11
...and "Considering the current maturity of Android 10 for this platform, we would consider this version to be most suited for those who love to experiment and don’t mind getting things working by themselves."
Considering the cutting edge hardware is Mi 11 with Miui 13 and Android 12, I would expect it is going to be awhile.
