It’s been a while since I was into unlocking and ROMing my devices, but I’ve got the itch again.

XDA used to be a good place, but… I hope I’m out of there loop or something, because it’s almost a ghost town compared to years ago.

I’ve got us carrier unlocked devices; OnePlus N10 and N20, Moto G7Power.

      Really?

      I haven’t seen any third party GSIs. What have you seen (that I clearly lack the google-fu to find, lol)?

          Oh cool, thanks!

          I have a couple devices on that list, may have to experiment a bit.

            Even if your device is not listed, it is still supported. Every phone launched with Android 8 or greater support project treble. Thus, it also supports gsi.

              I’ve not been able to get the built in gsi loader to ever work, not even with an app.

              From what I understand, 1+ is not doing something the expected way… Idk.

              I still need to find TWRP and to backup stock partitions first.

                  DSU, do you have a OnePlus N10 or N20? It does not work. If it works on your OnePlus, please provide the extra/special steps you took other than tapping the app and selecting a gsi, then rebooting. Nothing happens on boot. No gsi. Just boots normally.

                    Both N10 and N20 do not support DSU because they launched with the Android version less than Android 12. But you can still install GSI with the traditional method. Check you VNDk version with this app and I can tell you which gsi’s are supported by your device.

        “Generic system images”

        Since device manufacturers don’t support their hardware, Google has tried adding another layer of abstraction between hardware and the Android UI

      Last time I checked GSI’s kinda sucked and had worse performance than native ROMs, is that still true? (Keep in mind this was 3 or 4 years ago)
