Question How to GSI on s23 ultra

[JohnTheFarm3r]

overlays in theory fix stuff like automatic brightness and a few other things

thanks a lot! I tried it out and unfortunately it resulted into lineage getting stuck at the bootanimation.had the funny idea to do it while being outside, thinking "eh what's the worst that can happen with a magisk module" now I'll be able to fully appreciate the animation beauty thanks to samsung blocking access to recovery if it's not connected to a PC till I'm home

edit: thankfully, magisk automatically disabled the module after a few reboots. I tried to access it from adb to get logs with a friend's laptop, but it couldn't even reach that stage, adb couldn't find the device. Sorry about that, I'm sure with this little information there isn't much you could do.

But auto brightness works fine in LOS.

it doesn't for me, brightness is set to max randomly, even without direct sunlight. I remember a clearly different behaviour under oneUI
and anyways, that's not the only thing that overlays fix but I can't remember the others

No, I understand what would an "overlay fix" normally does, but the person didn't really specify what exactly is he attempting to "fix" with HIS overlay.

I actually managed to boot various GSIs and found the main culprit of the bootloops that appear after you see the welcome screen.

I assume it's SENSORS related. Put your phone on a flat surface (table or so) and let it boot again. You can actually use the phone like that and it won't enter the bootloop. The moment you pickup your phone in your hand/s, it soft reboots again. lol

Anyways, probably reacts to one of the orientation sensors which either crashes or whatever causes a soft reboot.

Yes i had that too. Currently only Andy Yan's and Phh AOSP builds work.

Hi, I tested Flyme10/Myui5.0/Pixel14/

They all have the same bug: Volte × fingerprint × Telephoto 100X ×

I hope someone can build a custom ROM for this

Doubt anyone will any time soon.

would you and @JohnTheFarm3r mind sharing the install procedure you followed? did you just flash the system img over fastboot? I slammed the GSIs into dsu praying yet none worked(even if the phone was laying on a flat surface), rebooting after the splash screen with the warning. I tried exactly the same ones as mr.Yasuo did, which should be arguably the easiest to get to at least boot. thanks!

and yeah, I think no one will bother making an actual custom ROM for our device.

The DSU sideloader is a bit different, it's not the same as replacing the system.img via fastboot. It creates a dual boot.

Anyways, between trying EACH GSI you need to wipe your data (Format data inside TWRP).

And you flash the GSI.img via fastboot through twrp.

fastboot flash system gsi.img (you can rename gsi to anything you want).

Building a custom ROM for this would require sources and trees to be first built including a kernel (that is a messy work with 8gen1 and 8gen2). We don't have those, and that might not happen anytime soon. And even if someone builds those, either that same or another person would then need to build a ROM based on those which would be probably buggy initially too.

And since we're talking about Samsung (KNOX issue) many devs are not willing to kill their warranty when the KNOX is tripped so they're not unlocking the bootloader and obviously not developing on it.

I am using DSU sideloader to install system. zip (system. img), which will preserve my data. If it fails to boot, you should be aware that GSI.img may require (ext4) format, or you can install RW ROM first

May anyone make a step by step guide? I did gsi on Xiaomi but never on a Samsung device. Thanks!

Sure, here.

Too late, I screwd it up.

Was using dr ketan rom, booted into twp, entered fastboot mode and flashed gsi with "Fastboot flash system gsi name.img" and press Reboot. WIthout formatting data.

Now the phone is constanly rebooting and cant enter TWRP neither Download mode. Its really stuck on a endless bootloop.

Is there something I can do?
