What is Project Treble
Project Treble basically partitions your device into two separate partitions, a system and a vendor: system contains your generic system image, while vendor partition has your device specific files required for booting and running your phone. This way we can easily change the system image and be able to run our device on different system images with the same kernel and vendor partition.

What is NOT working
You tell me

Downloads
Build 0421 (boot.img + vendor.img)
Phh-Treble A-only ARM64 (system.img)

Previous builds

HOWTO
Wipe everything in TWRP 3.2.1-1
Install boot + vendor + system image
Reboot and enjoy

Note that I'm a full-time high school student (with SO MUCH homework), I may not have enough time and knowledge to maintain this thread personally, so I'll write a simple guide for building Treble-enabled LineageOS on your own with ease. Stay tuned.

Since MZO and his team's building Treble images for natrium, let's wait for their official build with patience.
And with this PoC thread suspended I'll focus more on my studies lol

Additionally, since most of the issues are shared with Mi 5s, if MZO manages to solve an issue on Mi 5s, you may also figure out how to solve it on Mi 5s Plus by reviewing his commit. By then, don't hesitate to create a pull request in my repo on GitHub.

I've already solved all the issues with MI 5s, you should sync my code again and rebase my changes.

I was just building the Treble images for natrium when I saw your thread hahaha

We can't switch to official. Because "official" Treble is provided by OEM. This is as good as it gets. Probably with sepolicies fixed

 

[Weijianism]

New build's up with dt2w fixed.

phh has released two other system images: RR and Lineage. Besides AOSP, can I flash the other two images? Thanks.

Yes I believe they'll boot despite minor bugs. Try at your own risk.

Hi.
Can this be used as a daily driver?
Everything seems to be working according to the OP.

Thanks.

I dont know whats my problem, but when I try to install treeble in my phone, I allways get the fastboot reboot, I cant go further

What's actually stopping selinux from working?

Those image files can be installed in TWRP (Install - Flash Image), maybe you should give it a try ?

Yes you can

What's actually stopping selinux from working?

A simple hex edit of boot.img to enforce SELinux causes failure of RIL and random reboots. In brief, SEPolicy needs further modifications.

Yeah! That solved the problem!

The button backlights aren't working on RR, and the button mapping settings are missing. I have a build environment set up, and I can build treble system images. What can I patch to fix this?

Also, I can't enable the OK Google hotword to activate assistant.

For RR Phh-Treble's button backlights' issue check this. Since button mapping support isn't included in GSIs, you can either install button remappers from Play Store (recommended) or put ConfigPanel.apk (from natrium-specific builds) manually in system/priv-app/ConfigPanel folder.

I haven't encountered any problem with Google Assistant or OK Google hotword. Maybe GApps related?
