Yes
Ok, can you elaborate more on that? Can I pick a GSI and flash it on the Mi A2 with TWRP if I like?

At the moment I would say no. TWRP doesn't fully work on our device yet, will need time to fix it. The phone has literally just come out so best to wait for Devs to jump on it before thinking of flashing GSI's.
Although you try it at your own risk and report back

hi
can Someone start Treble for mi 5x?
like this and like Treble TRWP
It's not an easy task, for a developer to do a thing that an OEM is supposed to do. It's not as easy as flipping a switch or just changing some values.
i am aready flash success and work ok，but cannot flash magisk

Please have a look at this to understand stuff about Project Treble https://source.android.com/devices/architecture/
So I want to know if this phone has seamless update (A/B Partition) like Mi A1?
And since released out of the box with Android Oreo, is the Treble Support confirmed?
Yes and yes. I'm not sure about 1st, but treble is necessary for launching Oreo phones... If a1 had seamless update this new model too..
Mi A2 has both A/B partitions system and Treble support.
Thanks for the answers guys. :good:
Mi A2 is confirmed jasmine_sprout and Mi A2 lite is confirmed daisy_sprout. Both are A/B devices. I have already added them to the list of devices with A/B support.
I was hoping I can easily turn my 6X into a A2... Now my dreams shattered.

Is it the whole Pixel like deal? Like A/B partition for seamless system updates? And Treble should be applicable to only one partition right? Sorry I don't have much knowledge about it.

Is it totally impossible to re-partition a device?

Mi A2 has A/B partition, but the device has some bugs on GSI Roms. You can find more info about this here

Maybe possible.
But the firmware ARB lock is not fun, not want to get into another HARDBRICK again.
Also I used to read that converting a 6X into A2 might not necessary get automatic update.
Anyway, I finally come to realise Android One or AOSP isn't what I want anymore, I prefer the privacy security feature in LineageOS offering - Having moving from Mi 5 running LineageOS 15.1 and Nokia 8 with Android One.
And I don't really need to have this A/B feature, have it on Nokia 8, it's a nifty to have, not a must have. If you play with custom ROM, you prolly know how to backup and restore your phone, A/B is for people who doesn't want to face that.

All good things come to those who wait. Technically, it will be easer to configure a TWRP build for the A2 Lite since there are already Xiaomi specific official TWRP builds for devices that use the same SOC. It is still IN the oven, by the way. Other than a pre-release order from Ali or Gearbest (and good luck with customs duties on those) most Xiaomi outlets (at least that I can find here in the EU) seem to not have received a release date, yet.
Patience, Jedi.
TWRP would be a bit difficult to port (let alone compile) without the factory images, and who knows when Xiaomi will release those. We could also use a one click root tool (spyware) to pull the factory images directly from the device. Only issue is it is total spyware and you'll need to flash factory over it to remove the spyware (which we dont have). So best chance is to wait for someone to get the factory images, then we can easily port TWRP.
thanks for the advise guys. appreciate.. then.. wait for the twrp it is.
Mi A2 is the same as MI6x.
In China,we already have twrp unofficial

Per Google's terminal command, I checked and the Mi A2 uses the arm64 zip. Will this GSI Treble image flash without bricking the device?

I am guessing we won't get this roms without the Mi 9T Pro being available globally and we will NEVER get this rom if Mi 9T Pro will not be released??

There are a lot of very good Indian devs that will get their hands on this in a coupe of weeks.
Unfortunately for the global community, by the time the 9T Pro is released interest in this will have dropped off, as something else will have come along to excite people.
In the meantime there is Andy Yan's LOS GSI.

Have you personally tried Andy Yan's LOS? I am currently on EU rom and I'm not newbie abt flashing, but GSI flashing to be honest is something I never tried and I can't seem to find a descent tutorial to get the job done. Could you please help me out?

Not yet. Still got 3 days until I can unlock the phone. It will be the first ROM I'll install.
Installing a GSI is only a couple of extra steps.
Check out this for K20 Pro specifics
https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Xiaomi-Redmi-K20-Pro - you'll want to then head to the Mi 9 page as it is the same installation instruction.
Then this for generic installation.

If the 9t Pro is released, why would that not be a good thing for this phone? They are virtually identical with just more bands supported on the 9t Pro. All we'd need is a good kernel then we could throw in whatever GSI then your away laughing. Its still such early days.

It will be a good thing, but it could be a lot better if it was available now. The point I was trying to make was that by the time it arrives some developers may have lost interest, decided it's not worth the wait and gone and bought something that is readily available. The last rumour of its release was that it will be 'after summer' (winter for you guys in the south). So that could be another 3 months away, enough time to turn off potential developers.
I think you should wait for the developer to fix pop up camera won't retrack on all GSI rom.

Andy Yan has fixed it in his LOS GSI. Phhuson is looking at tidying up the fix before adding it to his main GSI branch.

Try GSIs for OnePlus 7 pro. Since much of the hw is similar it should be pretty stable as well
BTW, is it possible to flash GSI with bootloader locked as it's possible to flash system image in fastboot as well
