Now that we can unlock the bootloader and root the galaxy tab a T510 It would be cool to see custom roms developed for it
I would love to see AOSP android running on the T510
Is there anyone in the custom rom development able to do
Does nobody want to see a custom rom on this device
I'm Interested too !! A debloated Rom please !!!!!
I posted my TWRP build here, so I'm hoping that enables more custom ROM development for the SM-T510. Unfortunately, my initial attempts with GSIs were unsuccessful, even with NoKnox to disable most of the Samsung security features. Seems I'm still missing something, but Galaxy S10 owners have had some success after making minor changes to the generic image.
Has anyone tried this GSI guide for the Galaxy A8, which shares the same Exynos 7885? It's got the rw-system.sh fix noted above.
I may purchase.this very soon. I have high hopes for this device getting lineage
Would love to see a custom firmware release as there's only a 32 bit version of android and I'd like to get 64 bit support. Great little tablet aside from that downside
Interesting note here in the @phhusson's Treble Wiki:
Why should I use GSI for A/B devices to some A-only devices? : On Android 9, Google changed the requirements and all devices shipped with Android 9 must use "system-as-root". Before this change, only A/B devices were system-as-root and GSI name was separated by A-only and A/B. For this historical reasons, you have to use GSI for A/B on the devices shipped with Android 9+.
So, I'm thinking that we should be using ARM for A/B...and not many custom GSI ROMs are built for that target.
Okay, I had some limited success with the latest AOSP 9.0 GSI build from @phhusson. The note above from his Wiki was spot on: We need an ARM A/B configuration for the SM-T510/T515...which is unfortunately a rare combination. You must also this updated /system/bin/rw-system.sh script. I used the build with GApps (system-arm32_binder64-ab-gapps-su.img.xz), but this generates a ton of error notifications because the device is not Play Protect certified.
We're getting much closer, though.
Okay, here's a quick-n-dirty custom ROM build based on the AOSP 9.0 GSI mentioned above: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...om-nexus-stock-2019-galaxy-tab-10-1-t3944222/

hello, i have seen that our MIX2 is listed under supported phones
https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki
more infos here:
https://www.xda-developers.com/flash-generic-system-image-project-treble-device/
anyone have tried those Pie gsi's? are they working with no bugs? what's the pros and cons?
And by using those GSI do it mean that you can use newer firmwares and hardware drivers then the ones shipped in our custom roms?
thanks !
In theory will the Mix 2 be able to tun GSIs. All it needs is at least a Oreo Vendor Partition and a Recovery who supports Treble (A/AB). I will test it this Week but i would wait for official Pie from Xiaomi to have a updated Pie Vendor Part which should solve many Problems (Like possible non working Hardware (NFC, Camera, Baseband etc.))
I've been using the unofficial Pixel Experience GSI for months. It's been way less buggy than any device-specific ROM - would definitely recommend.

Have you or anyone else booted a Android 10 GSI on Chiron? I've had no luck and tried 58 different things. Guessing we need a different boot and vendor than we used on Pie maybe..? Idk I see mix 2 isn't oem supported. I'm dying to boot DerpFest. Found a Aonly 64bit GSI over on telegram about a week ago. I sure hope we will be able to use 10 GSIs. Would be great!
Xiaomi has recently said that Redmi 6A will neither get Android 9.0 Pie update nor MIUI 11 update. So it's only a matter of time before they stop providing updates at all, including security or bugfix updates.
So, has anyone been trying to develop a custom ROM for this device? To inform everyone concerned, it's kernel sources have already been released. Also, I'm no developer, but due to the fact that this device supports Project Treble, it shouldn't be too hard to build a ROM for it. Or at least someone could try and build an arm64 version of the ROM, if possible (This device has a 32bit ROM running on a 64bit processor).
So I politely ask the developers present here on this forum to try and make a custom ROM for Xiaomi Redmi 6A. We'll all be thankful.
i don't know how many mediatek devices out there have custom roms, but i think it's not as easy as qualcomm devices to have custom roms.
i've tried many GSI images on my 6A and none booted, despite this device being compatible with Treble. Also i've read in some sites that it will indeed receive the miui 11 update, we just don't know when.
I really hope someone make an actual rom for our device, because this Treble and GSI thing is just an unneccessary ummount of hassle and the result seems to be rather buggy judging from all fixes and patches you have to flash after flashing a GSI.
Anyone can port Pie 9.0 rom from Oukitel C15 Pro Helio A22 chipset?

As far as I know, this device has a 64 bit processor, yet the ROM is 32 bit. Any idea why is it like this?

it's an ARMv7 processor, if you want to test GSI roms you need an ARM/A only GSI image. I've finally been able to install a custom GSI image that works properly, albeit with minor bugs. Still a proper custom ROM is unbeatable in my opinion.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I know, this device has Helio A22 chipset, with Cortex A53 processor, which is ARMv8 64bit.
https://www.mediatek.com/products/smartphones/mediatek-helio-a22
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_Cortex-A53
Only the ROM (including the kernel and everything) seems to be 32bit.
Flashing an arm64 GSI wont work, because other partitions like vendor will still be 32 bit, and thus make the GSI incompatible. We'll probably need a real custom ROM with all its components compiled as 64 bit.

If the cpu has 64bit support then i don't know why they didn't use it. But so far we only have ARM GSI as an option for custom rom.
translate: this is a tutorial made in Indonesia that makes the vendor redmi 6a / 6 certus = cactus / cereus to boot the arm64 rom, the rom uses the nusantaraos rom https://nusantararom.org/

Hey there!
Do u guys have an Android 8 or Newer 64-bit for SM-G610M/DS? Can't find it anywhere. Is LOSQ compatible?
I am using J7 Prime SM-G610F. You can go for Treble ROM. Right now I flash Treble and flash Arrow ARM64 a only. Everything works smoothly like a charm.
Cheers,

I am using Treble Arrow 9 ARM64 a only ROM. OneUI based ROMs have some issue about contrast. 80-90% Gray turns white. That makes everything too bright.

I am writing an article to explain how to download and install Treble project on J7 Prime (especially SM-G610F).
For quick answer, you can check all the links for Treble and many useful stuff here.
Advantages of Treble ROM:
1. I can have many choices of ARM64 Treble ROM with quicker and contunuing updates. I could not find good ARM64 Dedicated ROM for J7 Prime for daily uses yet.
2. I experienced contrast issues with OneUI based ROMs. 80-90% Grayscale turns white. Most Dedicated ROMs for J7 Prime are OneUI based ROMs. Non-OneUI ROMs are discontinued.
3. With Kraken ARM64 Kernal for Treble, Everything is very slick. But when I flashed Kraken ARM for Dedicated ROM, everything is very slow.
4. If you want to try Android 10 (Quack) for now, you need to flash Treble. However Android Q is not stable yet.
5. For A/B Treble phones, Android updates are seamless and the suppliers give support for firmwares of Treble project. (J7 Prime is A only)
Disadvantage of Treble ROM:
1. Easy to get your phone bricked and bootlooped at logo. You can switch back to Dedicated ROM if you want.
2. LED light on top of the phone when screen off can't be activated while charging. I still cannot find patch to fix this yet.
3. Open Camera app in Treble ROMs does not have camera functions such as panorama, etc. I still can't flash any Treble OneUI ROM and get this to work, so I have not idea what happen in OneUI's camera app.
4. Flash GAPPS need to resize /system partition for J7 Prime phone.
5. Flash Magisk needs a bit more work to get some functions to work.
6. Treble project for J7 Prime and related phones has been discontinued by the original author. So there will be no update soon or never. This makes the future Treble ROMs may not be flashed and works well.
7. Treble ROMs are much bigger than Dedicated ROMs because Treble ROMs are supposed to install on any phones that support Treble project. But Dedicated ROMs are specific to one or series of the same model.
8. Treble ROMs don't come with firmwares for the phones. I need to find and flash the phone firmwares by myself. Sometimes wrong firmwares cause malfunctions in phones. I am nothing developer so I have no knowledge about this stuff. :laugh::laugh::laugh:
9. More chances of getting the phone bricked. In contrast to Dedicated ROMs that brilliant developer team supports.
For me, I prefer ARM64 performace so I plesantly take the risks. Right now my J7 Prime is apparently slick and zero random reboot.
Cheers, :highfive::highfive::highfive:
Currently I've lineage os on my tablet (t510), I'm searching for something else more stable and with a bit more functions.
Any ideas ?

If you want roms with more function, try heading over to the project treble section of xda and flashing some GSI images. Currently using phhusson's stock Android 10 with go gapps but you might like to use a ROM with more features.

Based on my current understanding, project treble aims to make it easier for OEMs (like Samsung) to update android. Here's a more in depth read about project treble: https://www.computerworld.com/artic...ect-treble-android-upgrade-fix-explained.html
A GSI is a Generic System Image that can be flashed on top of existing vendor code. So it makes it easier to change/update your android OS without companies like Samsung having to modify their hardware compatibility code (that's the goal anyways) which leads to faster updates.
For us enthusiasts, that means we can flash the same stock android GSI ROM, lineageOS GSI ROM, resurrection remix GSI, etc. on any phone supporting project treble (all devices that came out with android 9+ & some android 8).That's the same GSI file on any device with a recent version of VNDK. It's not all perfect for compatibility yet, but I've yet to run into any issues.
Yup! As @Roarmaster said you can check out Project Treble page. I too use GSIs and have flashed 3 GSIs so I can recommend you some. In project treble section for AB devices search for Bless GSI, it has lot of customization and works quite well, selinux enforcing, megisk safety net passes and google play certification all by default.

Thank you for the tip, this sounds like an interesting option. I'm looking at flashing a custom ROM onto my SM-T510 in the hope of improving the performance as the multitaking on the stock rom isn't great. Can I ask have you been flashing A, B, or A/B ROMS? I've installed two different Treble checker apps and they gave conflicting results.

Flash the rooms from the A/AB section of project treble. When checking for treble compatibility, use the app recommended on Phusson's GSI page as most GSIs are based on his work. If you want to flash a ROM, make sure you flash the arm32-binder64-ab version (like it says from the treble app) for the SM-T510.
Amazing! Thank you for the info and links @Roarmaster, I really appreciate the help. I've known about project Treble for a while but I've been out of the custom ROM scene for quite a few years, so I had no idea you could flash like this. I'll give one of Phusson's roms a go. Thanks again!
Hello,
my friend has a Samsung galaxy note 8 with the model SM-N950F and he was thinking about giving me his phone to install a custom ROM for him, the phone is running stock ROM.
my question is what is the most stable android 12/13 Rom ( AOSP ) that doesn't require rooting and has banking apps and the pen working fine, also what is the latest stable TWARP and Odin that works for that model ( because I had SM-G530h and some Odin versions didn't work with it ).
one more question is it available to go back to Stock ROM once again using Odin like with old Samsung phones and where can I find a trusted source as Sammobile doesn't seem to work for me for some reason?
thanks in advance for your help.

Your question is a contradiction. You're asking whether you can use a custom ROM without root but still pass Play Integrity and other checks? This is not possible. Simply having an unlocked bootloader makes your device fail. To pass Play Integrity and be able to use banking apps, the Universal SafetyNet Fix module is required for use with Magisk. Further, AOSP does not include any of the "frills" that Samsung preloads into their firmware, meaning that not all features may work, including the S Pen. If you want to try AOSP anyway, you can follow my guide here to install an AOSP GSI.
As for returning your device to stock using Odin, yes. Sammobile is a good source, but if it doesn't work for you, you can try Frija or Samfirm.js to download the firmware directly from Samsung's servers.

Frija is faster and I recommend it. SAMMobile forces users to register to their website and limit your DL-speed.
It's not strictly required to use Magisk. Some Custom ROMs by default spoof SafetyNet Attestation to BASIC and don't need Magisk.
But in the case of Custom ROMs like LineageOS (which doesn't spoof/hide the Unlocked Bootloader on purpose!), or Stock OneUI ROM, you do need to use Magisk + "MagiskHide Props Config" Magisk Module and set the fingerprint to Note8. If Note8 isnt available as a fingerprint, use SafetyNet-Fix Module.
Also, I don't use my Note 8 anymore, but we have Custom ROMs for Note8. I see we have LineageOS 20.0. Why use GSIs? They are much more unstable and buggy.

LineageOS is largely developed as a GSI. Yes, in many cases, it is bundled with a device specific kernel as a complete ROM, but for Project Treble compliant devices, a Generic System Image is just that - a single generic system image that does not have any device specific functions and can be used with any kernel on any device. In that regard, the official AOSP GSIs are very stable, and any issues are usually involved with the kernel, not the system image.

To be able to use Banking Apps, the following practices are good.
Passing SafetyNet (you can check this with YASNAC from Play Store).
If you don't pass SafetyNet, use Magisk with one of the 2 modules mentioned above.
You may also need to enable Zygisk, Enforce DenyList, and add your Banking Apps to Magisk DenyList.
I use a Xiaomi Poco F3 with ArrowOS Custom ROM, it already contains patches to force SafetyNet to BASIC, and so I dont need any modules, but only Zygisk, Force DenyList, and add my Banking Apps to the DenyList and reboot ^^

The official Googley ones. Tho I don't mind, since I use an AOSP Custom ROM anyway (on my Xiaomi phone). My Note 8 is kept on OneUI 1.0... i miss the "Samsung Experience" dayz.. Yknow, the OS that came after TouchWiz. It had a rather professional-looking boxy design. Don't like the Huge padding and Rounded Corners of OneUI. The modern OneUI versions are also eh. Due to Samsung stuffing additional apps like TikTok and other rubbish as pre-installed apps.

Huh. I've used both the "pure" GSIs from Android CI, as well as the Android Developer GSIs on my Tab A 8.0 with the CUK4 kernel. Everything works like it should. Make sure you're using the correct architecture and bitness for your device - most are arm64 - but in the off case that your Xiaomi isn't ARM, there will likely be a lot of issues.
Remember that while a Treble kernel should run any GSI, you still have to wipe data. You can't go from OEM firmware to GSI or vice versa without a data wipe; that cause a a lot of stability issues.
thanks for the replays and information guys regarding official releases of AOSP ROMs I haven't seen one that is higher than android 9 ( which is mainly the reason why we want to install a higher version due to compatibility issues with the company portal apps ) so any idea what is the most stable ROM for that model running android 10 or above
