The official Android Pie 9.0 update from SAMSUNG is months ahead. Thanks to @phhusson!:angel: We can now get a taste of The Sweetest Release of Android ever!
This is a GSI (Generic System Image) and will most Probably work on all Devices running 8.0 or above (your device must be fully Treblized )
Telegram Channel
Enjoy Android PIE!
Video- https://youtu.be/VfmzkIVSzu0
What Works-
-RIL(Calls,sms,lte)
-Bluetooth, WiFi
-Camera( Stock isn't that great) Use GCam)
-Fingerprint
-and pretty much everything
What Doesn't Work
-Iris Scanner(with high hopes that it'll work in future updates)
-Telephoto Lens( also may work in the Future)
Links and Instructions in the 2nd Post

Gapps
GCam By IDan with Working Dual Aperture!
Google Camera
ADDONS
BRH4 Vendor (flash this first if getting boot loop)
NOTE-U need to be on a Treble Supporter ROM like Stock, any vendor will work)
GSI strands for GENERIC SYSTEM IMAGE
Instructions -
1. Check your device architecture and download the GSI.img accordingly, also download the appropriate gapps for this device
2. Reboot to recovery and Wipe system,cache,dalvik,data(backup previously if you want)
3. Go to install section and find the GSI(choose to install image)
4. Flash the gsi to system partition
5. Now REBOOT to RECOVERY again.
6. Now flash the Gapps.zip normally
7. Reboot to system
8. Enjoy!
[FIXES]
1. If bluetooth doesn't work the try Clean flashing again with latest stock firmware and Vendor
2. If Black screen appears when trying to add Google account then select Chrome in Android Webview Implementation in Developers settings...
Even if that doesn't work then to to twrp(backup data if required) then wipe system the flash GSi,reboot again to recovery and then flash Gapps( micro is recommended) now reboot. Skip the Google setup wizard by not connecting to WiFi or LTE. Now choose sideload Chrome(install via apk) and choose in Webview Implementation)
3. If webview implementation thing isn't working:
Backup data via TWRP. Wipe everything except data, sd card and internal storage.(wipe system partition also) Now flash the GSI again,reboot to recovery, clear cache & dalvik now flash gapps and reboot. Skip the setup by not connecting to internet and then go to dev Settings and choose chrome in webview implementation
4. If gapps give an error: that's most probably because of it detecting 8.1 or 8.0 firmware. So after flashing the GSI, reboot to recovery again then flash Gapps
Addons-
2 .kl Files-
Place the two .kl files in /system/usr/keylayout
Overlays-PR1.zip
Flash for gestures get working
aosp-9.0_Pixel-theme.zip
Flash for Pixel Blue theme instead of Green
Digital Wellbeing App-
Download the Apk from the Addons folder,signup here- Digital Wellbeing Beta ,Install the apk and give it Usage Data Access Permission in App settings
Pixel launcher-
download the launcher apk from addons Folder, replace the quickstep.apk in /system/priv-app/quickstep with this one!

What's the best way to correct the padding for our rounded screen?
For sure i have to root and install the twrp to flash this rom? Will **** the knox counter to flash this rom?

Of course, it's a custom ROM
Just another OT sorry. But if I flash something when i will try to restore, the knox counter will be ****ed anyway? Is it right?

You should get correct rounded padding on second boot (you need to wait a minute after first boot)
Quick question, when you mean i have to be on a treble rom before that, does it have to be a Treble rom or a standard lineage would work?#
When I try to add a google account the screen just goes blank!
what's working and not working will be nice to see in the OP and gcam version if u can... this'll Clear all doubts of people

I have the PRA-LX1 with already unlocked bootloader and got it rooted with TWRP + Magisk before the last OTA.
I'm not a beginner with rooting this phone but only got Problems with installing any Treble Rom (tried Lineage and Aosp) and every try ended with a bootloop I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
So please can anyone give me a step by step instruction?
Which Treble Rom is a good one and recommended for this phone?
Which TWRP do I need?
And how exactly do I flash them correctly? What do I wipe?
Sorry for this noob questions but I failed so many times with Treble and don't want to do the reinstall with erecovery for the 10000 time :crying:
Thanks
Try to install the stock recovery and ramdisk.

I googled it, pretty much every source says that you require a custom recovery in order to flash a GSI or any custom ROM.

Oh, well that's pretty cool. Either way, I just tried flashing Official Resurrection Remix GSI with no luck. Stock recovery, attempted to flash through fastboot and it just gives me a bootloop, exactly like TWRP does. Followed the guide you linked to etc, just keeps rebooting.

Well, I finally got it all working.
You know the risks, don't blame me if something goes wrong, I did these exact steps to manage to root my phone without breaking it. C432, Dual SIM and PRA-LX1.
Have everything stock before following this short guide: Firmware, all stock recovery etc.
Installing the ROM and GApps
First, download necessary GSI files.
(Personally I got Official Oreo Resurrection Remix, here).
(Although you could find yourself using virtually any other GSI, I like the look and feel of RR, though I'll be changing my boot animation with root). Many people would probably recommend you to use something like an AOSP, or LOS which I was also considering on installing. They may also come bundled with GApps, which would negate the later need for installation or download of separate GApps.
This may include GAPPS but you should understand this from the GSI page, so for example on RR I had to download both the latest base ROM .img and the micro GApps.
So to do this I had to use the right architecture (For the P8 Lite 2017, this is ARMx64, do your good research, since my problem was getting this wrong with my PRA-LX1 (Mine was A-ONLY), this stands for the base ROM and GApps.
After this I actually didn't use TWRP as user @ppdr07 advised. I followed the guide he linked us to and did as so, without following the -u command, since it wasn't working for me (didn't affect anything, try it, if it doesn't work, just take that bit out).
The ROM ended up installing and posting through, everything set up perfectly.
After this I was like "Huh, so what now? How am I to flash GApps on this without TWRP?". I went for it and booted into fastboot where I flashed Askuccio's TWRP for hi6250 devices. At this point I worried that the ROM wouldn't post again - though it did, so from there I enabled dev options and switched on advanced power options just for ease of usage. From there I rebooted straight to recovery which posted fine, too.
At this point, you need to flash the GApps. Go for the one that the original GSI page recommends. Flash it to the System Image partition. Don't wipe anything. At this point I recommend that if you realise that you forgot to transfer any files to the SD card, you should do it from the system. It works better compared to the MTP on TWRP. Either way, that should work properly. Now, reboot the system, and it should work perfectly.
Enjoy, it took me months to get to this point lol
Rooting Your New ROM With Magisk
(Before installing this consider the other root options. I believe there's SuperSU and another possibly that I'm less aware of. Either way, in my opinion Magisk comes with the most benefits so I'll be helping you out with that).
After this I ended up flashing Magisk in order to use Snapchat and other apps similar to it. Firstly you'll want to set up Google stuff which has been newly added to the system, and then you'll want to go to chrome and download the Magisk Manager .apk from here. The main and most reliable place to get it is from the creator's project page found here, all main links stand out in the middle fairly well.
(Remember to enable downloading of unknown apps for Chrome in it's app settings, otherwise it won't download or install.)
If it still doesn't work at this point, I ended up holding down on the Magisk Manager link and pressing Download Link (or something to that effect). From this point just install it as you would any other out-of-store app.
Now, you'll need to download these two files from the Magisk page onto your computer: Stable Installer and Uninstaller. Next, while booted into Android, copy them over to either Internal or External storage and when it's done, reboot into TWRP again, either by advanced power menu or using the button commands for recovery. Personally, I think I need the power options with this phone.
In TWRP, simply go to Install, navigate to /externalsd/***[WHEREVER YOU PLACED YOUR MAGISK FILES]***, then install the Magisk installer .zip. If unchanged, the filename should be something like "Magisk-v17.1.zip". Install it, then give rebooting a go. Hopefully it'll post, if not, go back into TWRP and run the Uninstaller .zip, it's saved me a bunch of times.
Unblocking Apps That Say Something Like "Your Phone is Rooted or Modified, no access blah blah blah..."
(Snapchat is the example used here. It won't work upon login if you don't follow this step. Some apps don't work with this alone however, though somebody may have produced a separate guide or easily installable Magisk module with a solution for it. One that won't be fixed singularly with Magisk Hide is Google Pay).
After posting, if you need to unblock Snapchat or something, go to Magisk Manager (which should now be more green), open the top left context menu, tap on Magisk Hide, and search "snap" until you see the Snapchat logo pop up, then select it, then back out with the back button. It should stay selected in Magisk, and the app should now be usable and shouldn't give you any annoying errors, if not give it a reboot and see if it's solved.
Good luck!
We already know this phone is arm64,
the GSI rom AOSP v112 has support for this phone.
But how is the rom behave? What works and doesn't?
How are other GSI flavours doing? Like RR, AEX, HAVOC,....
[NOTE: For those who are interested i'll change this post to some GSI guide cepheus,
as soon as i recieve my Mi 9. But until then i'll hope for some of your feedback]
See this: https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Xiaomi-Mi-9

It shoudn't be needed to write a guide
a video guide would be interesting
I usually used twrp to flash the Gsi file but now I didn't understand what steps should be taken
tried Foloko, RR trebles and it's entertaining as STDs.. couldn't add Gapps for hours and never managed to using 2 very different TWRPs we've got, tons of tricks, or adding stock system/vendor.
I don't understand the assumption "Please don't use third-party custom rom (e.g. Xiaomi.eu roms) as the base rom. Some hacky roms have wrong (unofficial) fingerprint and GSI can't detect what device you are using. ", ok, what should be in the phone then?
After some attempts Phh treble from post 60 installed, greeting me with "There's an internal problem with your device. Contact your manufacturer for details.", some vendor nonsense. After reboot i cannot log in, as fingerprint overrides the letter i need to type the password. omg. So i have to reflash.
update: since Phh was ultra vanilla with literally 2 extra settings, tried RR, same greeting, no fp, and no swipe to apps there, i don't really beg for their modifications as i have Xposed Edge for this. Finally went back to Floko knowing how to fix gapps problem, it's got best navbar solution, although with tons of bugs (contradicting navbar user actions, non responsive gestures, nonresponsive buttons), no tap2wake, AOD sucks, fp sucks too, produces blinking screen.
Looks like trebles are unusable, time to go back to XIAOMI EU... so much for "don't need device specific ROMs".

You have to flash *official* MIUI rom (China or Global depend on your hardware, and it's better to flash developer version to get latest update).
To install GApps, you have to do Wipe -> Advanced wipe -> Select system -> Resize, then Mount -> mount system, then install GApps zip.
dear mod please close this one, there seems to be already a conversation about this

tried to do that, tried to install arm64 Gapps, I'd get an error saying my system is arm, so i install arm gapps, they do get "installed", but when i reboot, there is no gapps at all.
edit: arm64 gapps worked when used LR.Team/wzsx150 twrp.

which Global please? this is the link http://en.miui.com/download-361.html claiming to be Full Rom, but the zip is similar to EU version, just a patch.. just tried it, then flashed EU and magisk and getting "can't connect to camera". i was thinking i need to flash some bigger package (.tgz file), but there's none published and going throught the million childish looking forums on eu.miui.com, not sure.. would like TWRP way. perhaps format system?

thanks but both links redirect me to http://www.miui.com/ in chinese where i can browse to quasi-full roms again. strange.
btw i'm a fan of your kernel except it causes "can't connect to camera".. after many combinations of flashing i tried skipping the kernel (v01, or v02 or any kernel), and camera is back. however without Night mode this time...
update: found stable ROM at least https://c.mi.com/thread-1907373-1-0.html

Hey,
Could you make your magisk patch to not require pressing FP scanner twice for FP to register?
Without the patch, works fine from first try, but with it, two presses at least are needed Everytime.
Thank you!
Hey,
So after a lot of observation and reading I think LOS 17.1 seems stable enough to be used for a daily driver.
Right now I am on the normal stock ROM, without any modifications, no TWRP, no root whatsoever.
However, I have unlocked the bootloader a few months ago, so that's done already.
Current state of the phone:
Code:
MIUI version: 11.0.1.0 (QFKMIXM) - Is this the global version?
Device model: Mi 9T Pro (128GB, 6GB RAM)
I want to install TWRP, I want to root the phone, I want to install all needed modules for a proper camera etc, I want to install LineageOS 17.1 (latest build) and lastly I want to install Immensity Kernel (latest build) because I have heard it works well with LOS and provides lots of battery improvements.
I did lots of tinkering with my phone a couple years back, but I haven't done so in a while, and neither have I done anything with this device, so to make sure I am not breaking anything I decided its the best to ask here.
What steps do I have to provide in which order? Can someone provide my a detailed explanation of all the needed steps?
Also, can I install MicroG on it, or do I have to use GApps?
My guess is, first TWRP and root, then ROM and then kernel?
Also, I have read about some issues with Magisk and Android 10, is that still a problem, or is that solved by now?
Anything else I need to look out for?
Cheers

Make sure you are in the latest version of MIUI first.
For TWRP flash the latest Mauronofrio TWRP, he has the official TWRP, but his unofficial, latest version is probably a better option at its a little bit more up to date.
Once you've flashed TWRP you will need to boot immediately in to TWRP without allowing the phone to boot into MIUI, otherwise the phone will detect that recovery had been modified and will restore stock recovery.
When you've booted into TWRP, format data (needs to be format and not only wipe), then wipe cache and dalvik.
Reboot into TWRP, to ensure that the newly formatted data partition is correctly mounted.
Now flash lineage and a GApps package. I've only used Open GApps Pico, but I believe microG should be OK. If you use Open GApps it is still in beta and packages larger than the micro package are likely to cause issues, so stick with micro, pico or nano. (For clarification, micro G is a GApps package, what you are really asking is do you need to use Open GApps or not)
The latest Magisk is fine now. It is recommended to boot into LOS first at least once before flashing Magisk. I can't remember the details but sometimes you may get issues if you flash Magisk after flashing a ROM, without booting to the ROM first. You may be fine if you don't boot the ROM first, but since I've forgotten the reasons and can no longer find it, I now boot the ROM before flashing Magisk, just to be safe.
From here, you should be OK to flash different kernels, personally I've never felt the need to, as I'm happy with the performance of things as they are. My battery life is similar to what it was on stock MIUI. If you want to try kernels other than Immensity, just double check first that it is for AOSP ROMs. There are some kernels that have been created that are only compatible with Stock MIUI.
For the camera, I believe the latest advice for ANX Cam is still version 158 along with the 48MP fix for Q ROMs. There are a few later versions, which are not appropriate for this phone. I don't believe there has been a later version for this phone.
Edit: just noticed your question in the quote.
You have the global version of the phone. AFAIK 11.0.1 is still the latest version of the global version of MIUI.

Do I also need the force encrypt file? Some people mention it needs to be flashed too?
How do I properly install twrp? I boot into fastboot mode, and then I can flash it, I assume?
In the thread it also states that one should first flash vbmeta?
EDIT: Ok, I flashed vbmeta and twrp, booted into twrp, formated data and wiped dalvik and cache.
Now should I flash LOS next and then gapps ..? Which GApp package is the right one for 17.1? It is not linked in the LOS thread?
I've read that some people had issues when flashing the wrong gapps package
EDIT2: Ok, so far I have persisted TWRP and installed magisk. I flashed LOS 17.1 (latest build) and booted into it. I did not flash gapps yet as I dont know which gapps package to use. Also I would prefer to use microG if possible, but I dont think its possible to install it easiely? If it is, please let me know.
Now, the issue is, for some reason after the clean install of LOS17.1 I still see google apps like google drive (remember, I did not flash gapps). This shouldn't be the case? I did format data and cleared dalvik and cache, so it is a bit weird that this happens...
Also I constantly get "android.process.media keeps stopping" .. I assume that is because some applications try to access google service, which are not correctly available? What did I do wrong?
So my questions are:
1) Is it possible to use microG (opensrc implementation of google services), rather than gapps? If so, how?
2) If I need to use GApps, which one to flash?
3) Why were google apps still present on my device after flashing and formatting data ..?

I've read that some people had issues when flashing the wrong gapps package
EDIT2: Ok, so far I have persisted TWRP and installed magisk. I flashed LOS 17.1 (latest build) and booted into it. I did not flash gapps yet as I dont know which gapps package to use. Also I would prefer to use microG if possible, but I dont think its possible to install it easiely? If it is, please let me know.
Now, the issue is, for some reason after the clean install of LOS17.1 I still see google apps like google drive (remember, I did not flash gapps). This shouldn't be the case? I did format data and cleared dalvik and cache, so it is a bit weird that this happens...
Also I constantly get "android.process.media keeps stopping" .. I assume that is because some applications try to access google service, which are not correctly available? What did I do wrong?
So my questions are:
1) Is it possible to use microG (opensrc implementation of google services), rather than gapps? If so, how?
2) If I need to use GApps, which one to flash?
3) Why were google apps still present on my device after flashing and formatting data ..?

There is no need to flash force encrypt files or vbmeta.
I have never used MicroG so couldn't give any answers about that, however Open GApps are open source too. For android 10 it is still in beta. The beta files can be found here https://sourceforge.net/projects/opengapps/files/arm64/beta/20191209/. Pico is the smallest package that gives Google Play, personally I recommend going with that, then installing any other Google stuff from the play store, should you want them.
No idea why you would be seeing Google apps. I can only suggest formatting data again in TWRP.
If that doesn't work I would start again. Fastboot flash the latest MIUI 11.0.1 global ROM, boot into it once, there is no need to go through the set-up. Then go through the steps given before.
This time don't flash vbmeta, it is not needed.
The fastboot ROM can be found here http://bigota.d.miui.com/V11.0.1.0....M_20191111.0000.00_10.0_global_11d3a1700a.tgz
Edit:
Having seen some of your other posts, I'll give you some more info.
vbmeta is mainly used to persist TWRP. However flashing Magisk will persist TWRP and flashing a custom ROM will persist TWRP. You would only need to flash vbmeta if you wanted to stay on MIUI and not use Magisk. (There are other uses for vbmeta, but you don't need them, so I'll not go into them)
Is widevine L1 available on the ROM? Is the FOD working well?
I'm not responsible if you brick your device flashing this ROM. FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK!!! Please make a nandroid backup through your custom recovery before flashing this ROM. If you are coming from another AOSP ROM do not dirty flash IT WILL NOT WORK. To restore apps and data use Migrate from the Play Store on your old ROM to back up all your apps and data, and then install Migrate from the Play Store again on Xtended, to restore your apps and data.
To flash this ROM just download the correct zip for your model and then flash the zip through your custom recovery of choice.
Mod Edit: DL links removed
Gapps: To get the full Gapps experience first flash Open Gapps nano full and then Flame Gapps Full. (They are both missing things but if you flash both of them, while you won't get everything, you'll get everything useful.) Flash them in the order I specified or else things won't work out well. Before flashig gapps first boot your phone once, then reboot to recovery. Then flash gapps and then wipe data. If you don't do this you will boot loop
Flame Gapps: https://flamegapps.github.io/download#downloads
Open Gapps: https://opengapps.org/
If you test any of these things on your phone and they end up working tell me s I can update this post. If you have any questions feel free to leave them below. You can also ask over at the Xtended telegram server.
