I was just surfing random android stuffs on internet and eventually found the "Project Treble"!!
https://forum.xda-developers.com/project-treble
After then I installed the app known as "Project Treble" in app store, this app tells you if your device is capable for this project or not. And good thing for us that XZ1 Compact is supported.
I have unlocked my bootloader, so there is no chance for getting any OTA updates.
Well, I was never worried about not getting OTA updates because XZ1 Compact is already a year old and sony will eventually stop rolling the updates after sometime, but unlike sony, Project Treble seems more promising for regular security updates and many more other things that sony will probability never provide.
As for example look at this thread : https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...device-development/rom-aosp-extended-t3821934
Here you can see that they are providing kernel 4.9, while we, who are still on kernel 4.4 even after latest pie update.
And this also : https://www.xda-developers.com/google-test-android-q-project-treble-gsi/
Keeping all these apart, I just wanted to ask if any XZ1 Copmact user has tried this "Project Treble" or not??
And if yes then please share your reviews here.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers
There's various posts about Project Treble in this device's forum. I'll leave the searching for you.
I didn´t try with the latest Pie firmware yet.
With Android 8.0 as base I was able to run almost every Treble-ROM based von Android 8.1, Android 9.0 bootloops. May be it is working together with the latest Pie rom as well.

Because project treble doesnt affect the stock rom functionality you must do the same as if you were on stock. Install drm fix and Magisk in twrp and permissive kernel patch via Magisk when in Android.
I suggest AOSP from the creator himself or resurrection Rom.
I have got no idea about Volte
Hi guys,
can anybody here report back if there's a well working ROM that supports Android Auto perfectly? I don't mean the app itself, that should work on every ROM. But the connection to a car's infotainment and the external screen functionality.
I was using MIUI (xiaomi.eu in particular) for most of the time now, and with the recent versions, Android Auto started having serious issues. Car screen freezing, phone locking up completely and such things. Disabling HW overlays and not using AOD helps, but some issues remain.
I thought I'd give some AOSP ROMs a try (I want to go AOSP anyways, just stuck with MIUI until there were some stable ROMs to choose from). Sadly, none of the two AOSP ROMs (Pixel Experience and DerpFest) I've tried works flawlessly with Android Auto -> Similar issues of the phone locking up. Is this a general problem?
If not, could somebody recommend me a ROM that works perfectly with Android Auto?
Thanks in advance!
Wrong thread sorry

I don't quite understand, how is this related to the topic?
Latest xiaomi.eu stable and android auto work like a charm, no issues, no need to play around with the hw overlays

That's good to know, thanks for reporting in. I'd prefer an AOSP ROM if I am honest, but if there is no other way, I'll definitely go xiaomi.eu stable.
Just to report back on this question, I have tried a few more ROMs and I am going with Syberia. Although it's not on Android Q yet, it works perfectly and I have not yet encountered any bugs. Android Auto works flawlessly.
Glad you found one that works. I'm in the same boat. I've asked about this and over XDA, other forums and I just get ignored. I'm running an Umidigi F1 Play and can't find a single AOSP-based ROM that works with Android Auto on this phone. Stock works fine but I don't want to be a year behind in security updates just do I can run Android Auto. Currently running Lineage 17 on this phone and have been waiting for months for a fix to this issue.
Quick update, Paranoid Android Quartz Alpha 2 is on Android 10 and works fine!

There's no GSI though right? On the Umidigi, there are no custom ROMs. GSI is my only option.
Hi all,
i am on Pixel Extended, based on Android 10, i would like to pass to 11, but actually my A2 is my daily driver, so i am a little scared .
In your opinion, which is the most stable rom based on 11 have you tried?
Thank you all in advance.

If you need a stable daily driver, I can only advise you to stay on Android 10 until 11 gets out of alpha phase.
Slowly features will come to 11, of which you for now will probably miss one or another in comparison to your Android 10 ROM also.
Switching to a ROM in such an early stage isn't something I would generally advise against.
If you are willing to accept bugs and can live with a minimum of features, installing and reporting about alpha / beta builds will immensely help development.
But you said you need a stable daily driver, so, yey.

So, custom rom with Android 11 aren't stable?

Well, in the first phase of a new android release all ROMs
- Are basically the same (pure aosp with different branding)
- Have no additional features to pure aosp
- Will have many issues to sort out in general and for the respective device (like bugs, fast draining, random reboots, inconsistencies across versions).
- Might conflict or not be fully compatible with third party software (gapps, Magisk, any random app).
Any of these points might be the case still, so I wouldn't advise anyone expecting a stable daily driver to use android 11 for now.
None of these points has to apply though, as time for development passes.
If you want to urgently try out an 11 ROM and you don't heavily depend on your phone's functionality, why not do it? I also did it (and moved back to 10).
The question anyone should ask him- or herself though is: Which advantages do you expect from it?
That is, other than a higher version number...

Thank you for all those informations. I was hoping Android 11 would bring more functionality, stability and smoothness, but it seems to me rather the opposite. There is also no more security patch for Android 10 looks like. Everyone is working on Android 11.

What I'm saying isn't android 11 specific, but counts for every instance in which a new android release comes out.
It has been the same with android 6 and 7, then with 7 and 8 and so on.
Android 11 might bring functionality, stability and smoothness. But it is too early in development to expect all of this just yet, is all I'm saying.

kindly share the link of this ROM? I will try it also in my spare time. thanks!
edit: Found the link in sourceforge. Thanks!
Intro
I'll start with this important note: this will likely be interesting to a small subset of users as it 1) does cost money to deploy and run this cloud infrastructure in AWS 2) requires a bit more technical knowledge to get this up and running than most things on XDA 3) the OS build process maintains verified boot with your own custom keys which means things like root/magisk are not a good fit. Anyways, I've created a cross platform tool, rattlesnakeos-stack, that allows you to build your own customized Android OS for Google Pixel phones using AWS cloud infrastructure. The default OS that this tools builds without any customizations is called RattlesnakeOS, which is really just AOSP with very minor additions. If there is something you don't like about the default OS, you can add customizations on top of it or start with a completely blank slate and build your own OS.
Features
Support for Google Pixel phones
Based on latest AOSP 11.0
Software and firmware security updates delivered through built in OTA updater
Maintains verified boot with a locked bootloader just like official Android but with your own personal signing keys
Support for building latest stable Chromium browser and webview
Support for custom OS builds
If any of that sounds interesting to you, head over to the README for full setup, build, customization, and flashing instructions. Also, feel free to stop by our matrix room RattlesnakeOS (#ros.matrix.org).
