[GSI] Initial Patch

gringo80 · Nov 2, 2019

Ok, the Pixel Experience Plus 9.0 (GSI build) boots now (very fast) without problem. Some issues need to be fixed ! (fingerprint and sound)
Everything else is working : wifi, bluetooth, call, camera, etc ...

link to the builds :
https://github.com/EnesSastim/Downloads/releases

You can also try all GSI builds here (always choose arm64 A/B) :
https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Generic-System-Image-(GSI)-list

- Instruction :
. download arm64 A/B build

. flash GSI-system.img with twrp
. flash then my GSI patch. (vbmeta must already be flashed or flash it again if you didn't before)
. wipe data (see TWRP OP!)
. optional : flash magisk / gapps (if not pixel experience build or aosp full)
. reboot

DISCLAIMER
If you want to give a try, you must be on MIUI 10.3.6.0 Global (this is my working base) !

This is not a daily driver patch. Wait for a complete fix !

:good:

Update (2019-11-03) :
- GSI Patch for Pixel Experience Plus
- Permissive Kernel
- Stable : Battery friendly / Optimized performance / Useless flags cleaned
- Missing feature : fingerprint (if it's not a deal breaker)

Update (2019-11-04) :
- Lockscreen pattern fixed
- Sound fixed

Update (2019-11-05) :
- fstab.qcom : fix mount/unmount partitions after rooting !

Have Fun !

@gringo80 wonderful !
Thank you for sharing.

Any feedback on the battery life ? is it comparable to stock on the GSI builds ?

The same battery life, because the same kernel. Sound is fixed... the fingerprint issue still remains !

Cool. I will give a try as soon as you consider it enough stable to be a daily driver (caus it"s my mom's mi9 lite, I just bought it for her, and I want her to have a vanilla experience, as her previous phone was a nexus).

It's stable ... everything is working. Only the fingerprint doesn't work !

Is the camera2api in Level 3? or is it still in full with this rom?

Probably will support if we add this lines in build prop, but I'm not sure will instagram and other apps work with Level_3 enabled. Since phone support camera2 api at full, there is good chance everything will work without problems with l_3 ?

persist.vendor.camera.HAL3.enabled=1
persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1
persist.camera.eis.enable=1

That's perfect.
Can you tell me if I have to flash fstab.zip ?
Thanks

no there is one in the zip but different so you can boot GSI builds. It's not like the stock one.

@gringo80 one last question: what are the partitions that are safe to wipe before flashing the gsi rom ?
(In my OP7pro if you wipe the system partition, the phone gets hardbroken. I learned it the hard way..)

Wipe only data (see OP for more)
Don't wipe /vendor and /system (ramdisk inside!)

@gringo80 and do you have any tips regarding the camera ?
Is it possible to make the miui camera work ? Or is there a gcam mod that works best with the mi 9 lite ?

Please read OP !

About the sound fix. It is showing both R ch and L ch? Or just showing one of them?
Most custom build just showing either L ch or R ch.
