CAOS (Custom AOSP OS) is a project which based on @phhusson's Treble GSI AOSP 10. I began it because original project have not only pros (stability, speed, support) but also some issues and limitations - pure AOSP code have some bugs / haven't much useful things and it's a hard way pulling it. So i did this fork. System can run with SELinux enforced state, as an original Phh AOSP GSI. Fully compatible with PHH-Treble patches exclude few low level changes: no root app, no "su" binary in system; by default exist file /system/phh/secure (for Google Certification PASS), so if you can boot AOSP GSI, but can't boot CAOS - try to removing that file

vanilla, gapps: all architectures
gapps-go: only ARM A-only
NAMING
Some information you should know about knowing what type of gsi it is
<ARCH>_xyZ
<ARCH> can either be arm, a64 (arm32_binder64) or arm64
x can either be a or b
y can either be v, o, g or f
Z can be N or S
b = a/b
a = a-only
g = gapps
o = gapps-go
v = vanilla (no gapps included)
f = floss (free & open source apps instead gapps)
N = no superuser
S = superuser included
so in most common example "arm64_avN" is ARM64 A-only vanilla with no superuser
<ARCH>_xyZ
<ARCH> can either be arm, a64 (arm32_binder64) or arm64

KN0WN BUGS
• excluding fixes, the same as on AOSP Quack (in some cases doesn't work: broadcasting on TV, calls via BT; offline charging does not work normally; problems with GPS etc etc)
NOTE: always test ROM first without Magisk (with clean boot ramdisk). and don't send me bug reports if you have:
a) Magisk installed
b) modified/custom vendor or kernel
c) dirty flashing rom without wiping data
d) modified props values (another device fingerprint and so on)
