Android Pie GSI on V20 (Havoc OS) - LG V20 Questions & Answers

Is anybody interested/tried to install custom GSI Havoc OS ROM?
I browsed around and couldn't find anyone who tried it.
I found some instructions about it, but not sure if our device really supports this...
Links:
Official Havoc OS:https://forum.xda-developers.com/project-treble/trebleenabled-device-development/gsi-havoc-os-t3930030
P.S. am I the only one who still uses V20 in 2019?

this would be great @x86cpu you should definitely check this out!

i dont mind trying it out. But which file should i download?
So i tried to flash arm64-a file and I can see the android logo for sec then, the device boots into fastboot mode..

second screen is working or not?

Probably not because It hasn't even been tested.

Officially, No the v20 doesn't support GSI's
Theoretically, Yes. I was speaking to a Dev for the device I am currently daily driving and he said that " los 16 is using a treble vendor so a system A GSI should work " I haven't tested this theory simply because I have a ARB1 H918 device and don't feel like bricking.
I am curious about it though.. So anyone on Lineage 16 feel like trying? lol. Or maybe @x86cpu could chime in on this matter.
P.S. I still use my v20 as a media device and still find daily use for it but not as a phone ATM in 2019.

Lineage 16 for the V20 doesn't use a Treble /vendor partition. This won't work until/unless that changes.

Sailfish OS on the bullhead

edit: latest 14.1 base out with fixed camera and booting
edit: alpha6 is out, sensors fixed, but camera is completely broken
So I finally have a decent enough port of SFOS on bullhead

Thats an old video but a quick demo.

Flash the latest stock image for your base and boot into it. for android 7 thats 7.1.2 (N2G48C, Aug 2017) and android 6 thats 6.0.1 (MTC20K)
Reboot to twrp

Issue with install apps from the app store or warehouse?
need to setup password in developer options
devel-su pkcon refresh
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
also since store is sometimes a bit meh, you can use
https://openrepos.net/content/basil/warehouse-sailfishos
best way to copy files onto device is through ssh, setup password in developer options
store is sometimes broken, you need to do devel-su pkcon refresh in terminal, need to set password up in developer options.
OTA - Over the Air update
Best way to update SailfishOS is by using an ssh connection to the phone.
Disable all patches and Openrepos repositories before updating.
Before updating use
Set desired release version, for example 2.2.0.29:
ssu release 2.2.0.29

Refresh the package cache:

Really nice job! hope we can get all working in near future
Awesome cant wait to see stable build!

never tried it, didnt know we had a multirom stable.
on hammerhead it works fine as 2nd rom.
Holy crap this is awesome! I was waiting for a sailfish os port since I switched from my nexus 4. Is there a way for me (as an non-coder) to help you out somehow?
Oh and do you think it is possible that camera will work in the future or is this a missing driver code thing?

Yes there is a stable multurom on jolla kernel tread but in that case probably i will need to use the cm13 as primery rom to becouse of the vendor.
OMG a New Rom i don't know sailfish Os wow i go to try it
Thank you very much for your work
Really nice, sadly i need the camera for my work so i cant use as DD

the camera thing is a 32bit/64bit issue atm so i'll see were I get with it, am also messing around trying to get sfos working on a Huawei P9
No android apps at all, we have sfdroid, but its not working on cm13 as far as I know.
Very cool indeed, def hope this goes further. Remember it on N5 and was awesome
It's a nice ROM. But on my N5X the WiFi and Data isn't working.So sad.

That was my fault, issue with PARANOID_ANDROID. New image thats been upped should fix the issue
Ah... So it seems that its source is based on cm13 built in 161222, then should I use December mm vendor or January mm vendor?
(Sorry for my bad English...)

December probably.
And I know I'm bothering, but another question...
Is this rom doesn't contain boot animation? Cuz I saw cm13 booted well, but after flashing this over cm13 I can't see anything except google logo. Should I set my bootloader to the latest one?
6.0.1 (MTC20L) is what am using

Edit:

But what is the meaning by this treble, I now I should google it, but these things we can already do, I mean OEM is easy installing, maybe in a different way, but what is new. Easier with treble?
Oh got it

Nice if you like stock, but I don't and would never install it, if any aosp is out or custom ROMs available for my device, stock sucks big time.

The roms that are compatible are GSI 8.1 roms. Others don't work.
How I got it to work;
Flash twrp with treble support. Reboot to recovery.
Flash both vendor zips, reboot to recovery
Flash U11 treble zip, reboot to recovery
Flash Oreo GSI system image of your liking from https://forum.xda-developers.com/project-treble/trebleenabled-device-development
Flash U11 selinux zip. Reboot.
It should boot.
Also, make sure you backup in twrp beforehand as if it's not what you want, you can just restore.
For pixelexperience, I had issues with gapps verification. It wouldn't let me get around it.

Do you mean backup in New twrp, or old, i assume old backups won't work anymore?
And is it right what treple checker says that our device i a device with only one partition, thus only flash a images , with gapps?
And treple check says no treble support, but that is because i didn't flash zips yet surely
And which roms would you recommend?
Are all gsi images compatible with our htc u 11 ?
I'm on rr and not stock, magisk installed, does this matter?
Sorry for all the q but better sure than sorry

After flash the GSI image phone stays on HTC logo. Next problem is that phone can't recognise the internal storage when you try to do something on TWRP. Of course, I flashed the selunix zip on the last step. Tested PixelExpirience and AOSP, Android 8.1, A-only

We currently don't have a custom ROM for the A20,
but it would be the next logical step.
If someone could develop a custom ROM it would raise our status in the xda community.

Without the support from USA device owners and them being left out from rooting played a huge factor.
The Motog7power just got Lineage OS 16.
Twrp was done weeks ago. Buy a Motorola.

Last update seems to be from 2013, i don't think that is compatible with Android Pie.
I recommend you to use SuperR's Kitchen (free version is only available for Linux, to use it on Windows you need to buy the full version).

Were all hoping to get a working custom rom for this device, Keep up bro. Thanks for trying
Seems like all the GSI ROMs break some hardware functionality at this stage so the best option for now is to root and debloat stock and load your own preferred apps in place of the Samsung / Google ones. Not quite a "Custom" ROM but makes for a pleasant enough phone that you can tolerate much more than the horror of stock.
Now a custom kernel to clock our severely crippled SoC back to its full glory would be a thing to smile about

I think that's because you have to add the device in 8)Room tools, 4)Asserts menu, 1)Add/remove device, then try adding the device, in my case i added "a20,a205g", i don't really know what device name TWRP reads

GSI ROMs!

Lately I've been testing some of it, maybe all of it.
Android 10 I tried AOSP, Descendant X and Google GSI, Android 9 Pie I tried AOSDP, AOSiP, AOSP, AospExtended, ArrowOS, Bliss OS, Descendant, Dot OS, FlokoROM, Havoc-OS, OctopusOS, Paranoid Android, ResurrectionRemix, ViperOS, ZirconiumAosp and some other that I don't remember now.
None of then work properly, some of them I wasn't able to make boot and others boot but BT crash or WiFi crash or both of them crash.
I have asked on their respective forums and nobody was able to help me.
Did you join Phh telegram?
He seems to be on top of most issues.
Check to see if anything has been written about whatever device you have and model in the documentation for your device. That's what I always do first then search like hell for your device on xda in all gsi threads starting with phh Android 10 gsi. If you find nothing anywhere make a backup and copy it to your computer and then format data and and wipe it clean and flash gsi system.img and reboot and see if it boots afterwards. I suggest using fastboot from your computer to flash GSI because not all twrp recoveries are GSI compatible and that could be why they aren't booting for you. Also sometimes they take 4-5 minutes to boot. I've had that happen to me. GSIs are made for developers really to test their apps on. I mean that's what they're initially for and whats so awesome about the whole deal. But if you can't boot after you format data and wipe data, system, cache you may need to be using a vendor.img and a boot.img from a firmware for your device firmware page.. The vendor and boot image may be from another Android version than you're trying to install like you may have to use Oreo vendor and an Android 9 boot.img to boot an Android 10 gsi. It can get confusing I know I've been there man and I've searched and flashed tons of times and no boot but eventually if you look enough and try and keep it up you will know your device like the people who made it. I've been on xda many years since the Nexus S really and I sometimes search 25 different search words and find nothing and then I search the 26th time and locate something that didn't come up before. Is this the galaxy S9 snapdragon that you're using? More information the better but the whole GSI is actually brilliant and doesn't suck by any means. It's just a bit of a mission at times to figure things out. Been there many times bro. What's your model # ? Ill see if I can find anything with you...
I'm using Galaxy S9 Exynos, SM-G960F

Here's some info on filing big report on GSI. https://source.android.com/setup/contribute/report-bugs#platform
I think many people are in same boat as you with only booting some of them because they are made different sometimes and sometimes there's maybe more work done or different kinds of work done on one than on another one. Always read that PHH's AOSP GSI is most compatible which makes sense. If you want to try more GSI's do a Google search for [email protected] and you'll find another 30 more that aren't here on xda. Haha. .
If you want to try more GSI's there are TONS of them, probably 50+ or more on telegram just search GSI telegram and you'll see the groups. Not sure if your a telegram person or not but tons of stuff there too.
And you can do what you want but I'd change the title of this thread if I were you. While I can understand why you did it that way it's disrespectful. Just my opinion.... PHH does a TON of work for Android and is an awesome developer for lack of a better word. Js
(Edit)
Maybe try a different vendor.

What's the most current and bug free Pixel C Rom?

Hi. What's the most current pixel C rom that doesn't have any bugs or other issues? Looking to move away from stock but last I checked some of the roms had some bugs still. Is that still the case?
Lineage 17.1 is pretty smooth, camera crashes after ~30mins of video but I mean that's a lot, reboot fixes that. Sometimes on boot you have to wait ~2mins before unlock pattern will work if you want to secure it. Other than that, butter

Thanks. Looking into it. Not an easy thing to do for a semi-beginner. Will have to do more research on how to get it done. Want to be careful not to brick the device.

Eh, bricking a Google device is pretty hard. Easiest thing is unlock it (enable oem unlocking) then flash twrp from fastboot (need a Linux liveboot or mac system to do that) then flash the rom+gapps. twrp should let you mount usb storage but if not you can adb 'em over, there's install instructions for all of those things in the requisite threads

Looks like it's not fully stable yet, if that's the right term. Says encryption not tested. I tried looking into installing Lineage 17.1 as tabormeister mentioned earlier in the thread, but couldn't find an easy how to guide. It's been a while since I've installed a custom rom. Do you know where I can get easier info about how to install it?
