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's a GSI?:
A GSI literally means Generic System Image. It is a general system image meant for no specific device. Treble enabled devices have the capability to run a GSI. You can find a GSI here: Phh-Treble
ZTE Axon 7 hardware vs Treble implementation:
Our Axon 7 is an A-only device. This means that regarding the GSI images (GSI = Generic System Image) to be used, you need to get ARM64 and A-Only system images

A boot image (kernel)
A compressed vendor image (vendor)

Any ARM64 with opengapps.org for 8.x, in GSI 9.x Gapps included
Dear friends! Do not forget to backup before installation, this is a test version. It's time for me to sleep, write. As time will be, I will read your comments. If you find bugs - be sure to specify the version of GSI Android 8.x or 9.x
Thank you!
Hey need fast answer! In this guide is talking about a Vendor 8.1 and 8.0 and 8.0 does not work with this rom, so my question is does this rom support your treble? https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...development/aosp-9-0-android-9-0-gsi-t3826357

I am a bit confused: how would non-standard hardware like our famous DAC be used in a treble ROM? Would the vendor partition make specific APIs available for such non-standard hardware?
Thank you for this. Maybe its a stupid question, but does the DAC properly function even when we install a GSI?
I have a feeling that a proper fully functional treble will make the other custom ROM thread for Axon 7 obsolete.
so no EDL needed? I'm so happy because i dont have a windowscomputer.
*edit: i think i did not read good and windows is still needed

You dont need a windows-pc. Only twrp
Do we need to install the project treble zip in the OP if we already enabled treble by EDL?
Let me see if I got this whole treble situation straight :cyclops:
I'm running the latest AEX but I assume this guide contains a more updated "treble" so to speak, is that correct? In order to try the GSI's do I need to follow this guide and wipe everything or will the next AEX release update treble and contain the new fixes?
https://sourceforge.net/projects/resurrectionremix-oreo/files/arm64aonly/
Arm64 and A only. Should be working right?

He DOES need a windows pc since in order to enable treble he needs to flash a file via EDL

For this zip here he dont need a PC. For the EDL package yes.
Just wanted to thank you and talk about my experience.
Converting the device to Treble was a breeze. Can be done in under 5 minutes with no issues at all. I'm currently running Android P PR1 with no major problems.
However, when trying to install the GSI (totally not related to your work, but wanted to comment on this so everyone can enjoy treble) I ran into a small problem (error 7) when flashing the POST sGSI zip files. I resolved this by doing the following:
Install the treble zip
Install the GSI
Install the treble zip again
Install the 3 zip files in order
This worked out fine for me.
Again, thanks a million times on your epic feat. This is no small task, and is very welcome. It marks a before and an after.
You, sir, are heaven-sent. Thank you for your good work.

There is a more actual thread around the Mix 2 Forum. Try to search for it over Google, it provides more actual Vendors if i'm not wrong

Same issue here - the last working version is from March 2019.
If I put a gsi with a vendor from custom firmware, will my phone die?
Hey guys,
had Project Treble installed and wanted to remove it and install Pixel Experience Android Q ROM.
I flashed Stock ROM & TWRP with XiaoMiTool V2 and via TWRP I installed Pixel Experience ROM, which worked..
But now the following problem:
Cannot flash Magisk cause TWRP cannot mount DATA.. If I format DATA it can mount but then Magisk install wants to mount Vendor, but why?? There should be no Vendor Partition anymore..
Thanks for your help!
Edit:
Okay, Project Treble still seems to be present, had to flash Treble enabled Recovery..
But how the hell can I restore standard Partition Layout without Treble?
I am not responsible if you brick your device installing this ROM, you are installing this at your own risk.

Huge thanks to Baddar90 for fixing the battery drain issue this rom was having.
The fix source code: here
His Github: here
Gapps: (credits of the Flame Gapps Team. (Their website)
1.To flash Gapps first download Flame Gapps from here (full gapps package), here (basic gapps package)
2.Then boot TWRP/OrangeFox with the above method.
3. Find the Gapps zip you downloaded, tap on it, and swipe to flash.
4.Reboot and you should have Gapps!
How to get the out of box google setup experience when flashing Gapps (recommended):
1.After flashing the ROM reboot the device once to make sure the ROM boots.
2. On the home screen enter the power menu and then tap on "Reboot" then "Recovery.
3. Once your phone is in the custom recovery of choice, wipe the data partition.
4. Then flash Gapps again.
5. Reboot and you should have access to the the Gapps out of box setup experience!
For those of you who want to use MicroG I will not be covering it here. But the NoGoolag Telegram group as well as r/Privacy on Reddit should be able to help you if you would like to take that route.

P.S Xtended is a great ROM, but it does have a few more bugs than other custom ROMS may have. Not enough to cause any issues but enough for you to notice the occasional hiccup here and there. This ROM is great for people who like A LOT of customizability though. By the way, bur is alos broken to and their is nothing I can do about that sorry. I'd recommend going to Display-Enable Blurs, and toggle it to off. After a device reboot at least you will get some transparency.
I hope you like it!
Also tell me if the ROM works on your S9 Plus as I can then remove that "Untested" badge from it.
