Welcome
First of all make sure You know the Basics which are:
-You need to have a unlocked Bootloader
-You need to have the Orange Fox Recovery installed
-You need to have a Kernel and a Vendor Image
-You need to have a Treble A-Only Generic System Image (GSI)
-(Optional) A actual Magisk Installer zip File
-(Optional) A actual Open GApps Installer zip File
(Just use Google and You will find everything)


Alright. Now to the flashing!
-Make sure You have the needed Basics on Your Device including the Files You want to flash
-Wipe everything including data, caches, system, vendor
-Now flash a Vendor and Kernel Image to Your Device
-(You can download My "Vendor Installer" or)
-Flash a Treble AOSP ROM for Your Device and wipe System again
-Flash the Generic System Image using the Image Install from TWRP
DONE!

If You want to install Root and GApps on Your Device:
-Reboot to the Recovery and wipe Data/Caches again
-Install Magisk and GApps (Nothing else yet)
-Reboot to the System
DONE!


This Thread will be updated from Time to Time with new Vendor Installers and better Instructions. Feel free to talk about GSI ROMs in this Thread. I will keep it moderated as good as i can!
