Hey Folks.

I'm enjoying Treble on My Axon 7 and i'm aware about the Situation on the XZ1 (Basically a XZ Premium without 4K HDR). It's just a shame that we can't use and play with Vendor Images and GSI Images (Generic ROMs for many Devices in One ZIP) while XZ1 Users can...

Who is willed to work with Me to bring Treble to the XZ >PREMIUM< !? I'm willed to use My Device as test Device no matter how experimental it will be and i'm sure i can create a nice Vendor Image for us which is the Heart of all Devices running GSI ROMs. Lets bring our Devices to the next Level of Android!

I've tried shrinking system partition and made a vendor partition in the spare space - succeeded and the procedure was easy (no messing with abnormal GPT, like OnePlus 5 did) but the device was re-partitioned to stock layout after a newflasher flash, which renders the operation useless. I gave up treblizing it after realizing this, maybe it's better to do this after Sony stops publishing updates :)

I don't see the need to push Stock on the Device after Trebling it. Ok, bootloader and modem Updates are important but the focus of treble should be on flashs via Recoveries ala TWRP. While GSI Images can be flashed as Images to a A Only Device (One Partition for System and Vendor) could A/B Devices handle stock and custom in One Layout (Seperated Systems and Vendors). We should focus on A Only for our XZ Premium which would allow us to flash Pie and newer Android Versions without the need for optimized/fixed Drivers. Pie should be a great Base for a Vendor Image (My Axon 7 uses Oreo). Android 10 should be run from Day One on our XZ Premiums once its out. No need to work long to get the Hardware working and all that :)
