Well the v415 is stated as a pre release. Mostlikely for testing purposes. The main question is why the new PE GSI is stated as stable altough the PHH aosp release is stated as pre release

***PIN LOOP***

I'm using the Oukitel K9 (MediaTek) and encountered a strange error. I have used other GSI for experimentations without issue. When setting up the security PIN then rebooting the phone will not boot into the ROM but rather the initial PIN screen which loops itself and will not allow you to enter a pin to get back in. Has anyone else encountered this error?

Method of Flash TWRP. No Verity does not work. ROM used 2022-06-13 Pixel Experience Plus Slim.

I have tried the latest 2022-07-22 and the ROM goes into a boot loop. Tried flashing Magisk which resulted in the Android OS losing itself, (no settings, taskbar and a complete freeze). The ROM works great without a PIN.
[Treble-Enabled Device Development A/AB ROMS] nation888888:
Best to use TWRP method. Furthermore, Oukitel seems to work better with the SP Flash tool. ADB method you have to determine the partition A or B.
[Treble-Enabled Device Development A/AB ROMS] dbjungle:
I've been using this ROM on my Realme Q3 Pro for about 5 months now. This past week I started to have a problem with the battery draining like crazy overnight. Going from 95% to 50% without any use. This happened once before and I flashed a newer version of the PE GSI and the problem went away. This time when I tried to flash the July version my phone wouldn't boot, so I reflashed June again, but the battery issue is still here. Battery stats are not displaying, but once it showed Google Play Services had high battery usage. Anyone have any ideas how I can get this under control?

[Treble-Enabled Device Development A/AB ROMS] fede2782:
Hi, I found this interesting. I have two questions:

1) How can I flash this on Samsung A22 5G? Because it doesn't have fastboot, however, I can use DSU Sideloader

2) Does the camera work? Which camera app is included if there is one?

Thank you for the help.
[Treble-Enabled Device Development A/AB ROMS] AnonVendetta:
A few quick questions: what's the difference between the PE and PE+ builds? Is it just that the + builds are released less frequently? Are the + builds more stable than the PE non-+ builds?
[Treble-Enabled Device Development A/AB ROMS] Tommy0000:
Plus builds contain more stuff and a bit more personalization. On stability it's more or less the same

You should check if there are any tutorials to flash gsi on your specific phone.

The camera is the aosp one but you can install the most compatible google camera port.

I've found the aosp to be more stable sometimes
[Treble-Enabled Device Development A/AB ROMS] Franzyy:
1. I dont know, but you can install it through a unoffical twrp for your device (if there's any for your device)

2. The camera is the exact same as on the Android studio phones. I'd recommend PenguinGCam (Download it here)
[Treble-Enabled Device Development A/AB ROMS] fede2782:

[Treble-Enabled Device Development A/AB ROMS] 73sydney:
For several Android generations now /system has been read-only on modern devices, it IS possible to alter files under /system, with using magisk (and a magisk manager setting exists for using ad blocking apps like Adaway that alter the hosts file) being the preferred method as magisk is reversible

Magisk:

https://xdaforums.com/t/discussion-magisk-the-age-of-zygisk.4393877/

Which includes links to all the necessary files, including Fox's Magisk Module Manager (to search for and download and install magisk modules). The thread is also active for assistance when needed

There are other ways to create a writable /system, but it is much more elaborate and possible to hose your system, and opens the device up to attack vectors. To the point im not even going to link to this option.

Magisk is the preferred method.

Update:

Post edited to correct information about a hosts module, i found it isnt in the online repo. Adaway would be the next best option to use in conjunction with the Systemless Hosts option in Magisk Manager

I have two questions:

Is ADB working in this GSI?

Is the "su" ADB command working in this GSI
[Treble-Enabled Device Development A/AB ROMS] Franzyy:
This is a good GSI, but i have one issue

The status bar is too far up, can you bring it a bit down? Is there a magisk module for it or something?
[Treble-Enabled Device Development A/AB ROMS] 73sydney:
Was when i had it installed the other week...

it would be extremely unlikely/impossible to find a ROM where adb didnt work....ive never personally seen one in all these years...

su under adb will depend on you having root (usually magisk) installed AND allowing it when prompted (click to allow on phone after typing su in adb on PC - maybe youve missed this previously?)

Great work! Initial install of Pixel Experience Plus 12.1 v415.1 on Huawei Mate 9 (on T-Mobile) keep crashing, but after app update, it seems to be stable. Most stuff are working. The only thing seems random is the phone call. It calls out but ended immediately. Suspect it might have crashed. Occasionally it works.
[Treble-Enabled Device Development A/AB ROMS] sami157:
My device is Xperia XA2 Plus Dual H4413. I've been tinkering with it for the last 2 years. Meaning I've rooted it, tried custom ROMs, GSIs and what not. I was always careful and had a full proof way of restoring my phone with the official flashtool called Emma. So, I never really messed up anything.

But recently, I decided to try the Pixel Experience Plus GSI v415 (ab slim version) on my phone. After flashing, it booted fine. The only problem was that the phone wasn't vibrating under any circumstance (notifications, calls, boot everything). So I thought it's a GSI specific problem and I restored the stock firmware and ROM using Emma. But soon I realized that the vibration motor is still not working. So basically the problem goes beyond my understanding. I didn't mess with my Kernel at any point in time, then how can this happen?

Anyone here who can help me regarding this and point me to the right direction?
[Treble-Enabled Device Development A/AB ROMS] master373:
I would say it is a hardware issue than
[Treble-Enabled Device Development A/AB ROMS] sami157:
That's the most logical and straightforward conclusion, yes.

But I can't come in terms with the fact that it's such a coincidence it happened right after I flashed this gsi. I mean I booted into fastboot before flashing it and the motor vibrated as usal. Then I flashed the gsi and reboot, and right after that point in time, suddenly the vibrations are gone.
[Treble-Enabled Device Development A/AB ROMS] master373:
I dont think it is ROM related, maybe its a bad timing from an faulty hardware which then decided to say bye bye in the perfect time. I cant imagine that this can be a ROM issue since this is only an gsi which dont include any hardware drivers

i dont know how to post this question so, im going to post it here.i have a tmobile samsung a13 5g. i just found out it's not 64 bit, i have the 32 bit. how do i get a 64 bit of this firmware
[Treble-Enabled Device Development A/AB ROMS] AnonVendetta:
Are you absolutely sure the phone is 32 bit? If it is 64, then you should be able to run 64 bit GSIs. Or you can try GSIs that have "arm32 binder64" in the name of the img file that you're downloading.

it's just very uncommon these days for an Android device to not be 64 bit.
[Treble-Enabled Device Development A/AB ROMS] scdadd:
Yes I tried to down the flir one app and would not show up in play store. I got in touch with flir tech support and downloaded an app for them so they could see. Took a screen shot and they got back with me saying I had a arm 64 chip but, the firmware was 32 bit.
[Treble-Enabled Device Development A/AB ROMS] scdadd:
Here is a screen shot.
[Treble-Enabled Device Development A/AB ROMS] AnonVendetta:
I see now. The cpu is x64 but the OS/kernel only supports 32 bit. This doesn't mean you can't run a gsi though. I may be wrong, but I think "arm32 binder 64" gsi variants are what you need to use. Phh builds his official AOSP gsi with that variant supported, so in turn this means that most gsis based on his source code will support it too. PE is based on Phh sources.
[Treble-Enabled Device Development A/AB ROMS] scdadd:
How do I find this rom?
[Treble-Enabled Device Development A/AB ROMS] scdadd:
Ok I'm sorta new to this Rom/gsi stuff so...... does it matter what gsi I use and, if I'm correct, I have to use twrp? I use to root and install cyanmod roms awhile back so I know about what I'm doing.
[Treble-Enabled Device Development A/AB ROMS] AnonVendetta:
Well, normally you would find this variant on the page of wherever the GSI's downloads are. I just checked for you...bad news is PE isn't released in "arm32 binder64" variants. It looks like @ponces has chosen to only build ARM64 A/B variants. You can try one of these, if it doesn't work then you'll have to go with another GSI like the official AOSP by @phhusson.

Or maybe if you ask @ponces nicely, he may consider doing builds of the variant you need.
[Treble-Enabled Device Development A/AB ROMS] scdadd:
Do you know the rom code name of my phone?
[Treble-Enabled Device Development A/AB ROMS] AnonVendetta:
Not sure what you mean by "ROM code name"...

I don't think it matters anyway. GSIs are meant to be universally compatible with any device that has Treble support (well, mostly, at least in theory).
[Treble-Enabled Device Development A/AB ROMS] scdadd:
like, some phones go by a name of fluffpie.
[Treble-Enabled Device Development A/AB ROMS] AnonVendetta:
Install this app on your phone too, it will tell you what aspects of Treble your device supports, and what kind of GSI you should be looking for:

Treble Info - Apps on Google Play

Helps you check Project Treble, A/B and Architecture for GSI installation

[Treble-Enabled Device Development A/AB ROMS] nykstark98:
Would this version of GSI work on the first generation of pixels? (Pixel and Pixel XL)
[Treble-Enabled Device Development A/AB ROMS] AnonVendetta:
If they are 64 bit, and support system-as-root/dynamic partitions, or have an A/B partition scheme, then the answer is mostly likely yes. I've never owned a Pixel though.
[Treble-Enabled Device Development A/AB ROMS] master373:
Or you can look at your devices forum if non trebble enabled devices are supported by any developer (e.g galaxy S7).

Try it and find out, that's the quickest way to see for yourself. I'm running PE on a device that has a Snapdragon CPU, so I couldn't tell you.

I've found that it's oftentimes quicker to get an answer by trying myself, instead of waiting on others to reply. Especially if it's an obscure question that not many will be able to answer. Or they may be too busy to answer quickly.

I don't think the Xiaomi pen is wide spread, so any tip about other pens (samsung s-pen etc) would be appreciated!

Also, I couldn't keep nova launcher as the default launcher, but I read it on Reddit that you had to start the layout and settings afresh for nova on (non GSI) android 12. So I gather that's the case for this GSI too? I used a saved backup and didn't work.

Please keep up the good work! I absolutely despise my stock rom (MIUI CN), so I am really grateful!
