[OnePlus Nord N10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] mouseracer:
Hey there, @pxxell . That's a great question!

So, I've been using this GSI for some time now and have not noted any significant breakage of daily functions.

Sure, you may face some issues, but those are usually minor.

Compared to stock? Oh man, call me biased but I love it! :D

On stock, there was this one issue that bugged the ever loving heck outta me. That being the share function between work profile and personal profile.

This GSI, doesn't have that.

Also, if your talking about the "Smoother" display rate (90hz), unlike stock rom, you can force the phone to operate at 60fps or at 90fps. At 90fps, it won't switch between 60 and 90. It'll just stay at 90.

Of course, compared to Stock Rom, your camera may be affected on this GSI. And also, since this is a GSI

(Generic System Images. Basically, you can flash them on ANY Treble Supported Device but this is sort of like a GENERAL rom. Unlike Custom Roms made for a particular device, GSIs are made for a wide variety of devices so they may be lacking in a few aspects when running on some devices. Some GSIs may not even boot! However as we've established, this Pixel Experience GSI does boot and also works.)

, there may be some issues.

However, I just use the GCAM I've talked about and it works well provided I don't need 4K video. (1080p@60fps seems to be the highest for that gcam before it just doesn't work while recording.)

And of course, you get the newest Android 13 on your phone. No more will your phone be capped to a version that OnePlus gave us with this phone (Android 11).

I obviously have also rooted my phone (Magisk Delta) using @andreas__ 's rooting N10 guide (first flashed Magisk then Magisk Delta. For process simplification, made some boot patches. If you need guide then I'll make one later) and EQ apps like Viper4Android REALLY make me love listening to music! I also am using shelter to isolate those apps which seem to detect root at all stages.

(I also use my phone for watching YT videos and listening to music and etc.)

Since this GSI tries to be like a Pixel, it passes SafetyNet as well as Play Integrity (obviously, you can't pass STRONG yet bc your bootloader's unlock but up till now, most banks dont seem to check for it..)

TLDR: I daily drive this GSI and like it a lot.

Sure, it may have some bugs (battery drain may be higher. Don't know how or why I don't have it but eh.) But, compared to other GSIs (no incoming call/outgoing calls, stuttering videos, other issues), this is a bit more stable. At least for me, that is.

and it makes apps that were inoperable on stock to run on this GSI!

Take for example, CAPods, an app which essentially shows you battery info and helps to give you functions for your airpods such as pausing when you take out airpods and tapping on one of them to stop music and more.

On stock, you would see none of the airpods you've paired show up. (at least, for me!)

On this GSI, you see the paired AirPods, just like you were always supposed to but couldn't!

It's so cool that we can run GSIs like this and keep things fresh for our phones and even experience updates that, while our phones can run them, we wouldn't even get at all. Especially when you consider this phone has 6GB of RAM!

Even WhatsApp and other essential apps run!

And this is why I wanted to make this guide, so I can share this knowledge with other people who also feel the same as me and also want to try the latest version of Android! :D

You are welcome to try flashing the GSI on your phone. Personally, I love it!

and remember...

Have Fun!

😁
