[Samsung Galaxy A71 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] TigerLake:
I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.

New path to unbrick your phone (for soft and hard bricks) coming soon!

New path to fix bugs and common issues coming soon!

This device will NOT get OneUI 6.0, based on Android 14. But that doesn't mean you will need to buy a new phone to experience Android 14. When OneUI 6.0 launched, I'll see if there's a One UI 6 GSI that works here.

All credits goes to:

Google for the base GSI ROM that I use.

MagiskGapps team for porting Gapps to a Magisk module.

What is this?

Pixel 14.0 QPR1 stable GSI release

Information

Android Version: 14

Brand: google

Model: mainline

Codename: generic

Security Patch: August 2023 (based on Beta 5, but it had been a stable release now. QPR1 release coming soon!)

And what is a GSI?​

'' A generic system image (GSI) is a system image with adjusted configurations for Android devices. It's considered a pure Android implementation with unmodified Android Open Source Project (AOSP) code that any Android device running Android 9 or higher can run successfully.

GSIs are used for running VTS and CTS-on-GSI tests. The system image of an Android device is replaced with a GSI then tested with the Vendor Test Suite (VTS) and the Compatibility Test Suite (CTS) to ensure that the device implements vendor interfaces correctly with the latest version of Android.) ''

What are the bugs?

Fingerprint not working

Don't ask where NFC go, but it might still be present

Possible issues with GPS/Location.

WhatsApp restoration not fully working (use local backup restore or transfer it to another device then back)

You tell me

Note for issues with 70MB JPEGs: It's already nonexistent here, if you're still experiencing this, contact me ASAP.

Installation Guide​

- Unlock the bootloader first.

- Reboot to recovery

- Your device might boot to a stock recovery as of now. Don't panic if it does.

- Select "reboot to download"

- Use Odin to flash twrp 3.7 (AP slot) and the blank Vbmeta (BL slot) that is given below.

- When the device reboots, immediately boot into the custom recovery by pressing volume up + power button.

- wipe data

- type "multidisabler" in the terminal

- Flash the img as a SYSTEM IMAGE in TWRP (DEPENDS ON THE METHOD YOU'RE GOING TO USE, if 1 flash the first img but if 2 flash the second img), after you have extracted it from the xz file using 7-Zip or Winrar.

- Wipe again just to make sure

- Reboot

Now after this, do this step by step carefully. Magisk is required, do not skip the process.

There are 2 (two) ways you can get a full-blown Pixel experience from this Google stock GSI. Note that NO gapps package except the ones given below will work. Normal OpenGapps and NikGapps included, btw.

Method 1 (recommended) (tested)

- Power the phone back off after ensuring that it boots properly and doesn't glitch out or anything.

- Boot to recovery mode and flash Magisk 26.2 (you can google the apk file, rename it to zip to be flashed from recovery mode)

- Power the phone back on, and then reflash magisk from inside the application after installing the magisk apk (to ensure it works properly, if there's any warnings telling you to do so, then do it)

- Reboot after reflash.

- Now the modules page should be displayed and not greyed out, if it still greys out repeat the step 3 and 4

- Flash MagiskGapps (you have 2 options)

STOCK (Recommended, tested) - https://sourceforge.net/projects/magiskgapps/files/android-13-ALPHA/24.2.23/MagiskGApps-v.a.13.STOCK.24.2.23.zip/download

FULL (Experimental) - https://sourceforge.net/projects/ma.../MagiskGApps-v.a.13.FULL.24.2.23.zip/download

- After flashing it, reboot your device and you'll see the whole host of Google apps installed on your device. Set your home screen's default launcher to the Pixel Launcher, if you can't, then install Lawnchair from Play store (android 11 look) or the newer Lawnchair from the web (android 14 look).

Method 2 (experimental)

- Power the phone back off after ensuring that it boots properly and doesn't glitch out or anything.

- Boot to recovery mode and flash this GSI (extract it first) and Magisk 26.2 (you can google the apk file, rename it to zip to be flashed from recovery mode)

- Wipe data.

- Power the phone back on, and then reflash magisk from inside the application after installing the magisk apk (to ensure it works properly, if there's any warnings telling you to do so, then do it)

- Reboot after reflash.

- Now the modules page should be displayed and not greyed out, if it still greys out repeat the step 3 and 4

- Flash MagiskGapps (you have 2 options)

STOCK (Recommended, tested) - https://sourceforge.net/projects/magiskgapps/files/android-13-ALPHA/24.2.23/MagiskGApps-v.a.13.STOCK.24.2.23.zip/download

FULL (Experimental) - https://sourceforge.net/projects/ma.../MagiskGApps-v.a.13.FULL.24.2.23.zip/download

- After flashing it, reboot your device and you'll see the whole host of Google apps installed on your device. Set your home screen's default launcher to the Pixel Launcher, if you can't, then install Lawnchair from Play store (android 11 look) or the newer Lawnchair from the web (android 14 look).

Fast charging MOD:​

By default A71 on GSI charges really slow, this enables fast charging for the A71 on any GSI​

To install, download this from: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KguCeLD-VHShm0MYzKhYrsAv-rZAuJeA/view?usp=sharing​

Now install the module it will ask you to use volume keys follow the instructions and choose 4500mah 27w. Once installed reboot!​

​

For better performance and battery life:​

​

- Uninstall ANY OTHER KERNEL MANAGER app including smartpack/Ktweaks to avoid conflict, since this app uses AI and machine learning to dynamically boost performance when needed​

​

- Update FDE AI to the latest version by downloading the latest APK here, then rename the apk to zip and then flash it via magisk: https://github.com/feravolt/FDE.AI-docs/releases​

​

- Open FDE.AI settings, enable analyze apps, disable throttling and ignore charging (A71 doesn't get hot anyways, so scamsung's throttling measures are useless mf), Force Doze mode, and check ALL build.prop tweaks (this might fix slow mobile data and many other network related bugs, and graphical glitches with the GPU tweaks)​

​

- Go to tools and select extra optimization - toggle max performance then click on START, and make sure you set auto optimization as well, I recommend setting the time to 23:00 PM - 04:00 AM​

​

- Go to the settings tab and use the AUTO settings for FDE AI, make sure you toggle advanced mode aswell.​
