Also…someone OTHER THAN ME linked this? That’s rare
Matrix is currently in a bit of a weird place as funding is low. Its alright, but dont expect Telegram-level UX. Element is also re-making their mobile apps as part of Element X.
I have two Xiaomi devices and use custom roms for both of them. While there are pages for them in the XDA forums, most of the new updates and developments of custom roms and kernels, at least for Xiaomi devices, happens within telegram groups.
No, it’s not at least in my case. Actually GSI Lineage is a little bit faster due to less bloat than stock. But performance could be different for different devices.
Note: I experienced some bugs but all of them were easy to fix.
Even if your device is not listed, it is still supported. Every phone launched with Android 8 or greater support project treble. Thus, it also supports gsi.
DSU, do you have a OnePlus N10 or N20? It does not work. If it works on your OnePlus, please provide the extra/special steps you took other than tapping the app and selecting a gsi, then rebooting. Nothing happens on boot. No gsi. Just boots normally.
Definitely not as big as it used to be. Lineage, Graphene, and Pixel Experience are just about the only players left. Graphene doesn’t officially support anything other than pixels actively supported by Google though.
You could just try searching for ROMs and going to their git page or website and get a guide on how to install specific ROM. I recommend Lineage OS since it’s the one I used for two~three years and because it doesn’t come with Google shenanigans

@Benjamin Telegram. They all moved to fucking telegram.
Which is ridiculous. Can’t audit code.
Easy way to get accounts stolen, too.
@Benjamin oh there are other reasons not to use it
(full disclosure: that is my document, I maintain and update it)
My isp blocked that link. Never saw it. 🤷♂️
@Benjamin the wha-
okay here’s an unshortened one
I usually share the shortened one because cryptpad links tend to be large

Oh man… Why… Arg
I do actually have an account there. How could I go about completely removing it?
And I need to look into Matrix… Totally clueless.
While you were typing this, I found another post by another user to the same document.
@Benjamin account removal can be done on https://my.telegram.org if I recall right.

👀
Mastodon isn’t Lemmy, is it? 🤦♂️
I found a link to a mastodon thread… And upon much closer inspection, I do believe that’s you over there, too.
I’m apparently very ignorant on this. Lemmy… Mastodon… Matrix…

GSI are dominant now, device specific Roms are rare these days.
Last time I checked GSI’s kinda sucked and had worse performance than native ROMs, is that still true? (Keep in mind this was 3 or 4 years ago)
No, it’s not at least in my case. Actually GSI Lineage is a little bit faster due to less bloat than stock. But performance could be different for different devices.

Awesome, what phone are you using?
I am using Infinix X6831
Never heard of that one, but great that you can get GSI’s working on it smoothly
Yeah, it’s an Asian brand. That’s why you have never heard of it.
Really?
I haven’t seen any third party GSIs. What have you seen (that I clearly lack the google-fu to find, lol)?
Here you go: GSI List
Oh cool, thanks!
I have a couple devices on that list, may have to experiment a bit.
I see my N10 there 👍
Finally something to play with! Tyvm

I’ve not been able to get the built in gsi loader to ever work, not even with an app.
From what I understand, 1+ is not doing something the expected way… Idk.
I still need to find TWRP and to backup stock partitions first.

what are GSI?
“Generic system images”
Since device manufacturers don’t support their hardware, Google has tried adding another layer of abstraction between hardware and the Android UI

Aw, I’m looking for a OnePlus N10 or N20 ROM 😓
Definitely not as big as it used to be. Lineage, Graphene, and Pixel Experience are just about the only players left. Graphene doesn’t officially support anything other than pixels actively supported by Google though.
Pixel Experience is dead btw.
Wow, super missed that. April 10th. I just had it on a Pixel 2xl not too long ago
I’d add DivestOS, a fork of Lineage
/e/OS?
It’s still XDA.
Craze of custom rom is almost over now due to manufacturers bullshit
Wasn’t a craze, it was an attempt to make the devices usable in most cases.
Raises hand in cheap but very usable hardware that only gets one major update

Yeah, if I had a Pixel or something, sure.
But I haven’t found anything for my OnePlus N10…
Strange there are some on the XDA but unofficial.
To me it seems to be a bit more active than it used to be. Even my unpopular ultra budget Redmi from 4 years ago got a couple of A14 roms this year.
Many of them are on Telegram. Try looking for the groups by device name.
