[MEGATHREAD] Project Treble Megathread

As seen in this thread on the main Treble dev forum, there is a move to separate the Treble development out so each device can have it's own forum. In order to get this moving, here's a place to discuss how project Treble has been working on your P10.
This should go without saying, but make sure you take a FULL BACKUP using TWRP and a FULL BACKUP of your Internal Storage copied to a PC before trying any of these ROMS!
Main Links to Phh's Treble Builds (including installation instructions)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AOSP - The main development port of the Android Open Source Project.
LineageOS - What used to be called CyanogenOS. More tweaks than AOSP. Often abbreviated to LOS.
ResurrectionRemix - Even more tweaks than LOS.
Ressurection Remix (Official) - And official release from the RR team!
Stock Huawei Camera - So you can reanable the stock dual-lens camera once a Treble build is installed.
TWRP
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TWRP 3.2.1-0 for P10 v0.1 [Link to post from Pretoriano80] - tested backup/restore of stock 8.0.0 Huawei ROM
TWRP 3.2.1-0 for P10 Plus [Link to thread from blackball] - This may be better for 8.1-based ROMs.
Current Bugs [Updated 2018-05-06]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[RR - Official] [2018-07-16]
- No WiFi calling
[RR] [2018-05-06] [actinhic]
- RR from phh is almost perfect, only BT is reluctant...
[AOSP] [2018-04-24] [hamuts]
- Eye comfort did not work.
- Auto-brightness did not work. That wasn't the main problem, but I could live with that as long as I can see anything at all .
- Google Apps did not work. This was the real dealbraker. At first I couldn't download *any* app from Google Play Store. I tried factory reset (twice) and still no luck. Then after a night I tried to download and it downloaded (I went to Google site where you can white-list your device) but when I tried to open any app that I've downloaded they crashed. Anything that was somehow attached to Google services didn't work.
Returning to Official Stock Firmware
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Boot into the bootloader and install Pretoriano's TWRP
2. Use the full "format data" option in TWRP
3. Use the script provided by Jannomag to install the same official firmware (Full-OTA) you have a TWRP backup for.
4. The stock firmware should boot correctly. You can use this if you didn't have a TWRP backup.
5. Boot into the bootloader again and install Pretoriano's TWRP for a second time
6. Restore your TWRP backup
7. Your previous Huawei stock firmware will now boot correctly.

Friend have you already installed any of these roms in huawei p10?

I've tried the LineageOS rom. It's stable but not perfect. It lacks auto brightness and that was a deal breaker for me.

Thanks friend I will install linage 15.1. question the rom works with fast charge as in stock And if any TWRP works in linageOS 15.1 . Sorry for so many questions

The main reason for me for using EMUI is the home button. I love it how Huawei got it working with these gestures and don't want to miss it.
I tried Lineage a few weeks ago but even with gestures apps it wasn't really a great experience. It would be nice if someone get this feature for AOSP.

Hi. How can I restore my p10 if I have a problem with the rom!?

friends someone knows how to install the gapps to this rom linageOS 15.1.help

Hi there. there is something i would like to know. i have a huawei p10 frd-l09 and i know it's treble supported. has anyone tried aosp 8.1 GSI on this model? if so, how does it run? does everything work just fine? is it stable enough for daily use? thanks.

You could just use x home bar app from play store and get rid of nav bar keys.

FRD-L09 isn't a P10, it's a Honor 8 and XDA has forums for hits, too.
Don't know where you got the info fro. that you've a P10 - it hasn't even the same processor so the development is different for this phone even with treble.

I've tried the AOSP version 8.1 of phh-treble on my P10 (VTR-L29C432). It was overall great, snapy, clean and almost everything worked. I missed Huawei Camera app, but I clould live without it. Coulnd't test LED notification.
There was couple problems that I encounter:
- Eye comfort did not work.
- Auto-brightness did not work. That wasn't the main problem, but I could live with that as long as I can see anything at all .
- Google Apps did not work. This was the real dealbraker. At first I couldn't download *any* app from Google Play Store. I tried factory reset (twice) and still no luck. Then after a night I tried to download and it downloaded (I went to Google site where you can white-list your device) but when I tried to open any app that I've downloaded they crashed. Anything that was somehow attached to Google services didn't work.
At that point I gave up and restored my device to factory image (that also was a wild ride, but I'll leave it for another day).

Try RR remix rom great working p10!

what a shame, i was hoping it would be usable but for the google apps, not working, it's a dealbreaker for me as well as i heavily rely on google services were you using the latest build of aosp with google apps pre-installed or you just tried the build without them? were you using the a-partition compatible build? thanks.

Well, I used AOSP with Google Apps preinstalled. Yes, I used A-partition compatible build since Huawei P10 A-partition only. I suppose that there was something wrong with that build, but I didn't want to flash TWRP since I didn't have access to stock eRecovery to revert back to stock.

Could you share with us how did you manage to restore back to stock Oreo after trying this project. I'm facing issues flashing back stock files and was wondering if you could give me some advice. My e-recovery is not restoring files it just gives me error. restoring with twrp not working either. my fastboot is working and i have FRP Unlock if that is any help to you. im stuck with vanilla os without gapps. flashing just gapps gives me error with wrong version of os. it suggest it should be 7.1.2 package. my previous version of os was VTR-L29432c365.
thanks for any advice

It's a bit complicated with Huawei compared to other device as it doesn't come with any software that just resets the device back to its original state.
What you have to do is to download the firmware for the device manually (the full one) and flash it manually by adding it to a dload directory on your SD card. Just search Google on how to flash oreo with dload and you should find some tutorials.
Hope it helps

PSA: AICP latest treble is great

Okay so I've been trying some treble gsi's and yesterday I installed the AICP image on my phone. I've had zero issues, magisk works, substratum works, the style option in settings works, magisk modules work, the rom is really smooth and has a lot of settings and the battery life is pretty good too :^]
Download link: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1LtPNR6R4dxJslXFIjpF9FhyfEfhBTCOa
List of available treble images: https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Generic-System-Image-(GSI)-list
Gapps: https://opengapps.org
Latest magisk: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YftvNNZVruyYgtFE5wFsgLTDDb4Yux5W/view
Install process is the same as with any other treble rom.
Happy flashing!
edit: typos

Quick question... where did you get this? Because I never saw a AICP treble ROM thread. Anyway, that doesn't really matter. I have to give you my gratitude for sharing this ROM! I was about to give up and go back to the ugly stock EMUI.
I owe you one!
EDIT: It would be better to say in the original post if there are GApps included with this ROM or not, it would help clear up some confusion.

I feel you man, at first I thought treble was too unstable for daily usage but luckily I was wrong! I found the rom on a github page of a fellow xda user: https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Generic-System-Image-(GSI)-list
It has all the treble roms that are currently availabe if you wanna try 'em out
And there are no gapps included in the rom itself, I used the pico package from opengapps.

You can make just about any ROM pass safteynet by grabbing Magisk Root, and install the module MagiskHide Props Config. Then using the terminal commands you can install the Huawei fingerprint thus passing safteynet correctly.

That's awesome! I didn't know about that. I've ran into an issue with the terminal tho when trying to run su:

CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE "/sbin/su": "/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/lib/libtermux-exec.so" is 64-bit instead of 32-bit
Aborted
Any solution for this?

Sounds like root isn't install correctly? Did you check with Root Checker from play store? Which terminal program did you use? You ran su and granted root access first right?
I can't get this ROM to flash. tried both with fastboot tools and flashing the img in TWRP. I just get the Generic "Serious problems have occurred..." message
Edit: NVM I am a moron. Was flashing the AB image. :facepalm:

Bugs spotted
1. Lockscreen clock sometimes does not show, along with the date. I don't know the reason why, it just sometimes doesn't show it, like when your reboot your phone.
2. Can't set duration for long pressing the power button to enable the flashlight.
That's all the bugs I've noticed so far.

Is your device encrypted and if so, do you have problems decrypting the data partition?

No my device was not encrypted but I am placing to encrypt one I have backup

Faced the same error. Updating TWRP helped. Able to install successfully.

Big Thanks for the Devs !!!

Works fine.

from official 14.1 nightly. i've always used the OTA updater and this morning i got the notification to download and manually install new version. i was quite happy, waiting for this a long time
---------- Post added at 09:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:55 AM ----------
Update with some more details after trying 15.1 it for a couple hours.
The phone became unrooted so I could finally try Magisk which I haven't been able previously (I did not want to mess with root, stock boot img etc)
What works
Wifi
Cellular and mobile data
Bluetooth (my BT headphones are perfectly working)
Android Debugging
Magisk (Google Pay works, I still can't install Netflix from Play Store, but it's not LineageOS' fault)
Daily apps: Facebook messenger, Instagram, Phone, Messages, Kindle, Discord
What doesn't
I can't find Protected Apps feature in Settings. If I'm searching for it, the menu crashes (not implemented yet?)
Occasionally a few apps are crashing. Not too annoying, not too frequent, happened 3-4 times since I've updated this morning. Apps crashed: Magisk, Settings app
AudioFX is missing
120fps video recording (wasn't working in 14.1 either)
I haven't tested yet
Battery
Overall experience: everything is smooth and working fine so far. I'm pretty sure the few annoyances will be fixed soon, great work by the devs!

f-droid expert mode - f-droid privileged extension not appearing

I'm trying to install the f-droid privileged extension OTA zip, but after flashing it in TWRP, when I open F-Droid, the 'Expert mode' in the settings doesn't show it.
Steps I took....
1. Installed the FDroid.apk downloaded from https://f-droid.org/en/
2. Booted into TWRP and flashed the org.fdroid.fdroid.privileged.ota_2070 downloaded from here;
https://f-droid.org/packages/org.fdroid.fdroid.privileged.ota/
Here's the actual path to the OTA zip;
https://f-droid.org/repo/org.fdroid.fdroid.privileged.ota_2070.zip
Rebooted back into ROM, which by the way is AOSiP 5.6, started F-Droid for the first time, went to settings, Expert Mode, and nothing...
So here the developer puts out the OTA zip to flash in TWRP, it's mentioned here;
https://gitlab.com/fdroid/privileged-extension/
Then it's not working, or I'm missing something? Does anyone know how to do this manually? When I look at the site for the OTA it says this, Fixed OTA ZIP for Android 8.0 Oreo, and the custom roms is Oreo 8.1.0, so maybe this isn't supported?
I know there is Magisk Module and NanoDroid for F-Droid, but for now, I'd like to figure out why this OTA zip is not working?
Also can anyone explain, what the Pros & Cons are of installing manually VS using NanoDroid-Fdroid or Magisk?

Well, it's the App to use, there's also YalpStore.
This is about MicroG/FakeGapps, using a rom with No Gapps, no Google Play Store, etc...
It's taken me a little time, but I've figured out how to do a nice clean Custom Rom install with NoGapps, and use MicroG.

lost root after installing custom ROM; is there any way to root without data loss

Hi,
I am very new to this forum. I respect all you guys for your achievements.
This is the first time I have rooted a phone. After many days of trial and error, I was successful in installing Lineage 16 on to my phone.
My phone (Redmi 3S) seems to have lost root access after the custom ROM (lineage-16.0-20200902-nightly-land-signed) installation.
Is there any way to root it again without data loss?
I had rooted my phone with SuperSU after which I had automatically got the root checker app. But after installing the lineage-16.0-20200902-nightly-land-signed version, when I checked, I got the message that it wasn't properly rooted. Also, the SuperSU root checker app was missing.
I was wondering if it is advisable to go for Magisk instead of SuperSU.
Please help.

Hitesh KH

Follow the official guide, and for the step 8 in "Installing LineageOS from recovery" changed "LineageOS’ AddonSU" by Magisk and reboot.

Thanks for the reply. I will try that ASAP and get back
Hi Noru29,
Thanks for the reply.
As such, I planned to do just that — a clean wipe (planned to wipe the system, data, caches, etc. Any suggestion on that?) and then install the Magisk and then flash the custom ROM again.
I think this would also help me hide the fact that I have rooted the phone. I read it somewhere rooting via Magisk can help trick the apps into believing that the phone is not rooted.
Right now, many of the apps decline services saying that they find my phone rooted. Meanwhile, the root checker tells me that my phone is not rooted — it almost says that it can't find any trace of SuperSU.
Thanks for all the help.

Clean Flash is the way to go. Magisk Hide helps hide root status from most apps.
I would also suggest Fork LOS 17.1 by Sairam. Its based on 4.9 kernel with a few useful extras not found in Official LOS(16) . Its undoubtedly one of the most fluid ROMs available for land. Stable and no glaring issues even though its only a few builds old.
P.S. Your custom ROM journey has started at a good time. Android 11 has already been booted in land by Sairam. Of course many bugs still to squashed.

Hi Noru29,
Like I said earlier, I'm very new to this.
I was wondering if I will be able to get the apps that I have installed on my phone right now.
Can you please share with me the link of Sairam's fork (if you have saved it)? Otherwise, I shall look it up.
In the lineage 16 version I've right now, I had to remove a part of the script. Only after that was I able to install lineage on to my phone.
Thanks,
Hitesh KH.

Hi Noru29,
what I meant was if I change the OS from the Lineage OS 16 to the fork created by Sairam (17.1) will my phone get back the settings and apps (if I take a backup before wiping) that I had downloaded earlier?
I'm really eagerly waiting for the Lineage OS based on Android 11.

Fork LOS https://sourceforge.net/projects/te...ge-17.1-20200827-UNOFFICIAL-land.zip/download
You will need the latest Orangefox recovery in order to flash ROMs based on 4.9 kernel. https://sourceforge.net/projects/an...efox/OrangeFox-R11.0-Stable-land.zip/download
Android 11 based ROMs are some ways off from being stable enough for daily use.
Clean flash.
You can use Migrate to backup and restore apps+app data.

Hi amn1987,
Thanks for the guidance. I will try that ASAP.
By the way, I think I will wait for the stable version of Lineage OS based on Android 11. I will be using my Redmi 3S that I use as my daily device. I wanted to try LOS on my Nokia 6.1 plus too, but it has gone dead after falling into a bucket of water.
Wow, there is an app (forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-migrate-custom-rom-migration-tool-t3862763) for that too! ???. ? (https://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=7237343 tusi great ho).

As I said above it could be a while before A11 is stable enough. Meanwhile Fork LOS is great. Enabling Battery Saver cuts down on idle drain.

hi amni1987,
I installed this fork on my Redmi 3S recently. As such it looked neat, but I wasn't able to use any of the Google apps, including the Play Store. The main problem was the Google Play Services. A pop-up used to come showing Google Play Services not installed properly.
I was wondering what the problem might be and would appreciate a solution.
Thanks,

Which GApps did you use? I am currently on RR 8.6.3 with Open GApps Pico and I haven't come across any such issue.
