Question How to install a GSI properly?

[kritomas]

Hello all, I've been trying to install /e/ OS GSI on my Redmi Note 11S, but that didn't go exactly well. Luckily, I managed to fix it. So before I brick this thing again, How should I install a GSI properly without bricking, and which GSI would you recommend? I am looking for something more privacy oriented. Thank you in advance

Is there some sort of Linux alternative?
And which GSI would you recommend?

I have tried Evolution X A13 & Pixel Experience Plus A13 & CRDROID A12 and on all of them I had issues with Wifi, bluetooth, thethering - non of them worked so I gave up and went back to miui

1. adb reboot bootloader
2. fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img (take the vbmeta.img file from your current firmware)
3. fastboot reboot fastboot (because gsi must be flashed in fastbootd )
4. fastboot getvar is-userspace
5. fastboot erase system
6. fastboot delete-logical-partition product_a
7. fastboot flash system YOUR_GSI_ROM.img (system.img)
8. fastboot reboot recovery
9. (in recovery) wipe data
10. (in recovery) reboot to system


i flashed yesterday Arrow OS lite A12 it has several fixes for most common problems on board and it worked very well and smooth.
on telegram you can found a magiskmodul fix for auto-variable Hz and a magisk modul for disable hw-overlays consistent. (cauz after reboot it turn back on automaticly)

BUT gaming performance is horrible and good kernel tweaks are over my level

Had someone tried any of these GSI images without having wifi / bluetooth issues?

..... flash vbmeta vbmeta.img (take the vbmeta.img file from your current firmware)

Where should I take the vbmeta.img for my phone?

Download the Fastboot Firmware that match the Firmware on your phone from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...dmi-note-11s-4g-poco-m4-pro-4g-fleur.4428655/

Extract it with the file and in the images folder is the vbmeta.

I have this weird issue on every GSIs where the status bar isn't aligned with the camera. Does anyone know how I can fix that?
