• AOD sometimes doesn't turn back on again after going off. (e.g. when pulling the phone out of your pocket)

Installation

• Just in case, make a backup of all your partitions in case something goes wrong.
• Download and install the repartition script from here if you haven't done yet.
• Make sure to have the latest version of TWRP/SHRP/Orangefox installed.
• Wipe /system, /vendor, /data and /cache.
• Download any Android 10 GSI. Choose arm64 and A/B. (A only will NOT boot!)
• Make sure the downloaded GSI is a .img file. If it's a .zip or .xz file, extract it first.
• Download riseTreble-v1.0-a57y17lte.zip. from the downloads section below.
• Copy the GSI and the riseTreble ZIP to your phone (preferably to SD card)
• In recovery, go to "Install", choose "Install Image" and select the GSI you just downloaded. (This can be different depending on the recovery used)
• Choose "System Image" and flash it. (Flashing GSIs can sometimes take >2mins depending on which GSI you flash.)
• Flash riseTreble-v1.0-a57y17lte.zip.
• Optionally, if not already included in the GSI, flash Opengapps AFTER the first boot. Choose arm64 and 10.0.
• Optionally, flash Magisk.
• You are done.

From where can I get GSIs?

• You can find a lot of GSIs on pHH's Github and on XDA.
• Remember to always choose A/B and arm64.
• Please note that most OEM GSIs (such as OxygenOS, MIUI, OneUI, ...) will NOT work!
• Also, see a list of GSIs we have already tested in post #2.

How do I update a GSI?

• If there is an update for your GSI, make sure to make a backup of /system and /vendor in case something goes wrong.
• Wipe /system and install the GSI.
• Flash riseTreble-v1.0-a57y17lte.zip again, even if you already had it installed before.
• If you had Gapps and/or Magisk installed before, you will likely need to reflash them too.
• Done.

FAQ (Frequently asked questions)

• I can't pass SafetyNet on some GSIs!
  ->Go to Settings, pHH settings, Misc and tap "Securize". This will remove in-built root. To completely pass Safetynet, make sure to have MagiskHide enabled in Magisk's settings and install the MagiskHide PropsConfig module and set the fingerprint to A5 2017 or A7 2017.
• My navigation bar enabled itself!
  ->Go to Settings, pHH settings, Misc and Choose "Force navigation bar disabled" and reboot.
• Maybe more, feel free to tell me.

Can I install android 11 gsi?

 

[de_inferno]

Really nice work , i tested it on my SM-A520F with phhusson's AOSP v222, some noticed bugs:

• Single sim on dual sim models like mine need force disabling second sim with persist.radio.multisim.config=none in file /vendor/build.prop to make sim recognized at all.
• /data encryption can be fixed by adding encryptable=footer to mount options of /data in /vendor/etc/fstab.samsungexynos7880

 

[PhantomUser2002]

Treble for A5 2017, that's some great news. Maybe we can except OneUI with Android 10 a little bit sooner.

Why i can't download it from my device?

You can press a try download anyway button if it's sourceforge, more the question is why are you using miui given that it's so buggy lol

 

[Quiche]

Has anyone been able to pass safetynet? I'm stuck on the ctsProfile: false.
I tried to change the device fingerprint to a known a5y17lte fingerprint using magisk and the hide props module to no avail.
Thanks in advance!

MIUI Is stable

---------- Post added at 11:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:09 AM ----------

I have tested MIUI12EU-AB-10-20200519-ErfanGSI and apparently it is more stable than the other gsi the bugs are the same, I found a fix for the brightness, @ Simon1511 could you add it in the working gsi list?
