Good job sir

Just got it set up and... i am treble ready? No way!
There is definitely a positive change in response times and obviously much better use of hardware. Rooted no prob after a long first run and installed after 3 boots. Nice!

now that you installed treble fully, you can install GSIs from the treble forums but there is one problem with pie GSIs, some GSIs dont work because of some kind of overlays.. here's a list of GSIs that work and dont work

Avoid these GSIs:
ViperOS (Pie)
Pixel Dust (Pie)
PixelExperience (Pie)
Resurrection Remix (Pie)
HavocOS (Pie)
Liquid Remix (Pie)
MIUI (Oreo)
Oxygen OS (Oreo)
XenonHD (Oreo)

GSIs that work:
Phh-Treble (Pie/Oreo)
AOSP Extended (Pie (6.0)/Oreo)
AOSiP (Pie)
Descendant (Pie)
Bootleggers (Oreo)
Resurrection Remix (Oreo)
Lineage OS (Pie)

Ok nice. Kinda all over the place here. This is crazy. Only because i'm going to try all the ones suggested

 

[mindlery]

Oh. My. God. This is AMAZING! My A8 is gone!

 

[587.saboor]

Oh. My. God. This is AMAZING! My A8 is gone!

what do you mean by "gone" ?

 

[mindlery]

what do you mean by "gone"

Ha. So I've probably tried close to 10 gsi's now and while some were decent, there so far has always been something that makes it unreasonable to stick with.
There's a lot more choices, that's for sure. I was really hoping to nail the rr 9.0 but don't have the patience to fix the partition issue.... so now I am looking at a cool glowing arrow with hopes of no vendor error message at the welcome screen. The install was easy. No idea if this glowing arrow is going to get tired and let me have a spin at it....

 

[Joseluize]

Can I use it without root? I mean i don't want to have the phoe rooted for some apps. Thank You.

 

[Ztiffn]

So if TW is closed sources i have rights to protect my works from kanging, and quote clearly says `You are NOT allowed to use any part of this rom without my permission! All the apps and stuffs contains my sign So Beware!!` which means u can use but first you have to take my permissions as it's not OSS. Hope you understand and do more research regarding this `

thank you for the reply
i tried AOSP Phh-Treble today and got again the same feeling compared to this rom, this rom feels a bit "laggy". Don't get me wrong, it's not perma, it happens when i scroll realy quick...maybe it seems to me subjectively like that :cyclops:

atm i got two other issues:
the device didnt't get recognized if i connect it with usb to pc. only in recovery mode.
the developer options crash everytime if i try to open

These roms are laggy only at the start give it 10 hours they calm down.
