Any active custom ROMs? - Moto G6 Questions & Answers

Just got the device and checked the forums... Doesn't look like lineage or anything is still being actively developed. What are you guys using?

Gsi's mostly. The G6 is an arm or arm32 Aonly device and there's a number of good ones.

You can check out the treble development forum for Los and GSIs which are generic system images. These are a rom designed to be universally compatible. However this tech is in the early stages so what works. And doesn't work is mostly up to you to figure out.

Thanks, I took a look at that, but I was hoping for a version tested and maintained, though I may try Treble when I have more free time later in the year.

The ROMs run pretty well actually. I'm on Pixel Experience Pie right now, and the developer of the AOSP is tailoring the ROM for as many devices as he can.

If it were specifically for the G6, it would be here, but it's a treble GSI. Search for Treble Enabled Device Development and you'll find more than one.

Oh, I forgot that you were talking about the Treble project
I tried the phh's AOSP GSI, it was pretty good. It's just that LTE doesn't work (yet) so I had to switch back.
Hoping to get frequent updates to get things to work!

It is being updated about once a week or so. All or almost all GSIs use Phh-Treble as the base.

I think - Yes. Also maybe anyone can compile now x64 kernel for our x64 cpu device (at this moment we have only x32 kernel).
@Dreyk007
we still don't have a working vendor and tree. the only thing that matters for me right now is a working vendor considering from what i know it's the answer to getting voLTE to work on GSI rom's.

does this include the specific vendor? proprietary ones don't seem to be useful as far as i know. I plan to get on device development when my new PC is built (2 weeks-1 month) since i know the basics already.

There's some dude trying to build LOS 15.1 on Telegram Groups, the RIL isn't working unfortunately.

Device Tree?

Hi, I have a questions:
At least one developer is working on the device tree? Has someone already tried to port custom firmware? How long to wait for the first custom?
Developers, please mark in the comments(?)!

The developer, Randomblame , is working on it. You can use GSIs in the mean time, ones like phh AOSP, AOSiP, ArrowsOS do support fingerprint.

Kelsi is the only capable person we have right now unfortunately. She is working on kernel rn as you can see in the development section. As soon as her device tree will become close to stable i'll start doing build for 2-3 roms for Mi 9 as well (although I can't be much more than a buildbot).

Custom Rom for redmi 4x

Hey folks. I hope you guys are doing well.
I want to know that should I install custom rom on my redmi 4x? Will it create problem for my device for long term use? If not, then which custom rom is the most stable out there and fast as well. Literally which one will be the best? I want your help. Thanks!
Since there isn't any good compact budget phones out there and I had to change several apps I use because they're not compatible with the 4x's software anymore, I've been researching about this.
The most recommended ROM is PixelExperience, the main downside about it is that has been discontinued. It works on Android 10 and that's an improvement over the 7.1 we have. Here: https://download.pixelexperience.org/santoni
Another one quite recommended is Lineage OS. This one has not been discontinued as far as I know but works on Android 9. Look: https://lineageosroms.com/santoni/
With all the custom roms, just like official ones, there always will be users that say something is not working properly.
I haven't tried any custom rom, ok? I just googled a lot about the options.
Good luck.

Unfortunately Lineage OS stopped official builds for the Redmi 4X this year, when they stopped the 16 builds (official blog post).

From personal experience, I've used Lineage OS 15 and 16 since I bought this phone over 2 years ago. And it has been working great. It takes a beginner some time to get used to flashing, recoveries, testing new ROMs, etc. but that should not be a big issue. The Linage OS wiki has a very good tutorial on how to set the phone up, it should mostly work with other ROMs too https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/santoni/install

There's actually no developpement for Galaxy Tab S8 serie. The hardware is pretty new and Samsung doesn't help users to dives into his hardware...
If you want to try roms, you can still install TWRP and try GSI.
About Linux, except using Termux, you can't do anything since the Kernel is locked and there's no way (yet) to enable KVM on snapdragon devices...

GSI (Generic System Image) is a kind of rom that (should) work on any Treble enabled device (aka almost any device that come with Android 11 and up).
However, on Samsung devices, most of hardware relies on proprietary drivers (like camera or spen...), so you should'nt expect them to work good as using Samsung firmware
There is not custom roms almost to none Samsung device any more. Samsung is trying to become Apple. Locking every device with many ways. Only root there is, and this more difficult every year. Unfortunately Samsung is still creating the best hardware , and good software, so there isn't very easy to go to another company for the most users..
