Theres currently lineage and aosp.

But the difference of roms for this device compared to other devices is the problem with GSI.

It requires devs to know how to build gsi roms based off phh modifications. Not to mention kernel changes and including the correct vendor partitions to play nice with the phh roms.

Not many devs in the g7 forum, i personally have nothing to work on since i dont like to build with no actual device to test since my G7 is bootloader locked.

Almost no work is needed for GSI support. If you want to install any GSIs just check out the "how to install pie" tutorial. The second part covers it.

The idea of GSIs is that it works with treble to work on any treble enabled phone. It's already build and the last thing left to do is to make sure it works. Thankfully only some small modifications were needed to get it to work

Lol if only it was that easy but with most of these phones they all need work.. phh has been adding support for most phones as he continues to update his work.

LG blobs arent very common, they will need work especially the video lag and possibly non working data or wifi.

Download the RR arm64 gsi and let me know if it fully works.

I'm 99% sure that the old versions work. I had it myself.

There's no need to rework wifi or data. It just works. LG had made their treble support pretty good. The only things that do not work is the LED and a 0.5 black screen bug after an unlock

There's no video lag.
