Dirty Unicorns Semi GSI for Samsung Devices
By CodeFox & OpenSauce9810
​

I'm no longer maintaining this thread, check the note 9 thread here for latest updates

What is this?
This is a Semi Generic System Image. That means it's a generic system image that's been optimized as much as possible for our Samsung Devices.

How the heck do I flash this?
It's slightly different than flashing a zip, so here's what you need to do.

• Download the image file
• Flash Endurance GSI Kernel in TWRP
• Flash BRJ6 Vendor
• Flash the System Image to your System Partition
• Optional if you want root (but reccomended): Reboot to recovery again then flash your choice of Magisk. I use 17.1 as I can get galaxy wear to work with that version.
• Reboot your device and you should be good to go! No need to flash gapps as they're included.

03.12.2018

• Initial Release

05.12.2018

• Updated sources to 9.0 r21 release. (December Security Patch)
• Gapps included, (dialer and messenger also included so you won't start without a phone or sms app)
• Bootanimation changed to reduce boot times
• Tweaks to ambient play ticker so it clears when you clear media notifications
• Further performance tweaks thanks to @malinathani animations transition smoother now.

06.12.2018

• PHH Settings Removed.
• Dual Speaker permanently integrated, will always persist and no longer needs to be activated.
• Enhanced brightness ranges permanently integrated.
• Sync latest DU Sources
• Potential ratio fix for S9/S9+ Devices.

[Ronam]

I've installed it, boots, but no apps in the launcher, just Files, Settings, SIM Toolkit. WTF?

You need to install GAPPS 9.0 after rebooting into recovery following install of system image. This should be mentioned in the instructions.
Then you will get the usual install section after boot up and the usual google apps etc. I used GAPPS 9.0 nano.
All working well on my S9+.

My bad. It's copy pasta from my PE thread. I'll update it tomorrow. It's a bit of a nightmare I've got so many threads to maintain haha.

 

[Ronam]

Is there any way to use edge screen notifications?

 

[mackeftw1]

Best rom atm! Perfect to set it up just the way you want it without bloat apps.

Just had to change Product.model to pixel xl in build props to get higher quality on Facebook vids.

Anyways, New daily for me. Thank you. ?

I can't flash the system image . Why is it ending in .xz ?

 

[techenthusiast]

Its a compressed file, I just used 7zip to extract it.

Is Bluetooth working for you?

 

[a_swed]

which camera you're using on this ROM?

 

[techenthusiast]

Didn't work for me, had two issues:

-Internal Data not being seen
- No network connection
- Says not to flash gapps, but it is needed as nothing is installed.

For me now, this isn't a usable ROM.

 

[mackeftw1]

Is Bluetooth working for you?

Yes. Using endurance gsi kernel

 

[EagleSoldier]

Yes. Using endurance gsi kernel

nvm

I thought its PE thread

On PE BT wont work with GSI kernel

Fingerprint in 3rd-party-apps

Hello @All,

i installed this good rom on my G965F and everything is working - BIG thx @devs...
I have only one question/issue: With my registered fingerprint i can unlock the screen - this works perfect, but in 3rd-party-apps i get an error with fingerprint and i cant use my fingerprint in these apps (e.g. banking app). Anyone know how to use my fingerprint in 3rd-party-apps? This is not working on all Pie-(s)GSI, not only on DU...
