Yup
Sorry, maybe I'm blind, but Where is the OEM switch in developers tools? I also have screen not keeping set brighness levels and no battery charge limitation.
Be aware I installed this ROM on my Xperia 5ii and nothing worked well. themes and all in Corvus control panel doesn't show up, in develeoper tools the OEM unlock doesn't work at all, was so difficult restore it to factory without having access to developer tools also after a factory reset. I'm trying evolution X now, this works well, but sony battery limitation and atmos, that are the cooler feature does't work, and the camera and cinema pro are not there, because not compatible on Android 13, as the camera apg as well you cannot change lenses. So be aware your mileage will vary.... In my opinion do not install this ROM until it will become more robust.

You can use Advanced charging controller (acc) instead of Sony battery care. Camera and cinema pro work on A13, files are on device support telegram channel.

Also you cant do OEM lock on custom ROMS
Can you check if the mirroring is working? because the Original Sony rom doesnt allow to screen mirorring to any TV or Windows PC, because HDCP compatibility (something that works beautifully on a Samsung) I fpund the two files in the vendor folder, and tried to change the value from 1 to 0, BTW I cannot remount the file system as RW, so I went back to original rom at the moment. Will be very interesting if this ROM will work around this problem too.
Hey there guys. good afternoon. has anyone experienced this rom constantly going to recovery? ive installed it on my realme 5i and its been rebooting to recovery several times.

Yes, u should wipe first
any screenshots?
Is this the same vendor as in this thread (but it's only the vendor here), or are there any differences? (if this is any better/different, can I "upgrade" to it without wiping my existing phh-treble install?)

This is not a ROM, just a Vendor which lets you flash GSI ROMS. Therefore, no screenshots could be given.

It's not the same, he fixes a lot of things to make it stable now (as NFC or Camera). About your installation question, I don't know.
ROM
Good night my friend. I wonder if using this increases the possibility of being compatible with other Roms, or does it basically equal to TWRP treble and creator treble equal to what you have here on another topic? If the answer is that it increases the possibility of roms compatible, can I do the installation over the other version creator and twrp treble? Sorry the English.
To anyone wondering: I've managed to replace my existing vendor+kernel by flashing the zip and suprisingly I had to remove the pattern lock from my phone and re-add it because system ui just chrashed every time I entered my pattern. Note: I'm on AOSP Phh-treble 9.0 V109 (I know V110 is already out but I'm lazy..)
Also I had to reflash magisk but that's expected after a new boot img.
Hi,
thank you so much for that vendor base. Everything seems to be ok, except one thing though : MTP does not work if i activate usb debugging. Is this vendor or gsi related ? btw i tried the four gsi you recommend in your original post, same behaviour. I'm on sm-a530f
Nice week end to all.

Thanks for the complement, issues related to mtp and usb debugging is because of magisk..... just report it to magisk developer with proper logs

It's just that I only checked the xda thread for phh treble and that still has v109 as the newest. (On github there is a v110 build) and I'm just lazy to upgrade, since this version is good for me.
About the thing, idk what you didn't get.
Anyways, great work!
Someone can post any screenshot?

Android q is not bootable I was testing the phh aosp 10 gsi
I tested multiple gsi roms and it seems like any armbinder64 rom boots up just fine. Of course i didn't have time to test a lot of them. I installed a pixel experience rom with gapps and su. Everything works fine as far as i can tell. The notch is horrible

here is a thread of gsi that i tested that work with the phone
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g7-play/development/gsi-images-g7-play-t3980807
Lol glad my thread is put to good use lol
New roms!
Android devices can have different designs, so there is no generic command or set of instructions for flashing a GSI to apply to all devices. Specially for Xperias am i writing this Guides for You. So please read carefully...
1. Ensure that You have the following before You start:
Latest Fastboot Version (Or the used fastboot commands may not work)
A Method for disabling Android Verified Boot (Part of the Guide)
An unlocked Bootloader State (Official Instructions HERE)
To Start:
Download the Basic Package from Google: https://developer.android.com/topic/generic-system-image/releases
Download the AOSP Vendor Package from Sony: https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/downloads/software-binaries
Open up the Zip Files and place the 3 included Images on Your fastboot destination
Boot Your Device into Fastboot:
Code:
Turn off Your Device and hold VolumeUP while connecting via USB to a PC or use ADB to reboot to fastboot
Disable the verified booting (AVB) by flashing vbmeta.img:
Code:
fastboot --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
Flash the Vendor to the Primary A Slot OEM:
Code:
fastboot flash oem_a nameofthesonyoemimage.img
Repeat to flash to the B Slot OEM
Code:
fastboot flash oem_b nameofthesonyoemimage.img
Flash the GSI to the Primary A Slot System:
Code:
fastboot flash system_a system.img
Repeat to flash to the B Slot System
Code:
fastboot flash system_b system.img
Wipe the user data and clear the data from other necessary partitions (for example, user data and system partitions):
Code:
fastboot -w
Reboot:
Code:
fastboot reboot
Additional:
You can use any Android 9+ GSI out of the XDA Forum here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/project-treble/trebleenabled-device-development
To get Magisk/Root; just patch Your actual Kernel with the Magisk Manager App and flash the Boot Image together with the GSI (Example below)
Patched Boot Image for Xperia 5 Users: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xp...isk-v20-3-patched-boot-image-android-t4033547
I'll add that the Basic Package directly from Google in OP's post does not have functional call audio.
I highly recommend anyone try out Lineage 17: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...lopment/gsi-lineageos-17-0-gsi-archs-t4004673. Call audio works. FP sensor works. Camera also seems to work but I didn't really test it. I recommend flashing OP's patched boot image, too. Then all you have to do is install the Magisk Manager apk.
None of ExpressLuke's builds boot. Evolution hangs at the Evolution boot screen.
What we're missing now is TWRP. Lineage doesn't have gapps pre-installed, so we need a method for flashing them. I couldn't get MicroG services to work--apps could not see the accounts.

Call Bug confirmed but i had personally no Issue with the ExpressLukes Build. Just make Sure You don't use A64 Builds but ARM64 Builds (AB). Only GSIs with GApps was Havoc and Pixel Experience i think...
I'm running PE without issues Here (vbmeta from Google)
Can you elaborate on the vbmeta from Google comment?
And yes, only took one attempted flash with an A64 build to realize I needed ARM64 AB

Code:
fastboot --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
That needs to be done with the vbmeta image from the Google Basic package together with the flash of the System/Kernel and fastboot -w to be able to boot Up some ROMs. That needs to be done after each Stock Firmware flash...
In other words. It's a vbmeta image with disabled verify boot Checks that works on modern Treble Device Like the Xperia 1 & 5
Don't know btw what A64 is ... lol

Still hanging at the boot up screen for both Evolution and Havoc. Following your directions exactly. I must be doing something wrong.

Have You tried Pixel Expierence? If that doesn't works must be something wrong :fingers-crossed:
PixelExperience does boot successfully. Wonder why Havoc and Evolution didn't...
Is anyone able to get IMS working? I can't get VoLTE to enable (on any non-stock ROM) and checking the short codes menu confirms IMS is unavailable. Re-flashed stock and it provisioning correctly.
Thanks a ton for this guide. I have the Xperia 1 and am about to go unlocked. Too much google in my life. I am assuming all this stuff is basically the same. I've been around more than my share of unlocking / rooting experiences, so I am not sweating it too much.
Updated the Thread. No need for the vbmeta Image with Havoc 3.5 (Official GSI with GApps)! Means a more secure Device somehow...
I did an Overlay for GSIs, based on our latest Android 10 Framework https://github.com/phhusson/vendor_hardware_overlay/pull/214
Possible that You can grab it here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=82550641&postcount=889
Rename to FrameworkResCommon.apk and push it to /vendor/overlay (Replace). Should work in Theory... Maybe. It's a first try and i don't know how it will be implented
Updated the Thread with some Changes
Thread updated again with My latest findings. The OEM Vendor from SONY has to be flashed to A/B to. Added that Steps! Enjoy
Talented developer here, nice work. Been a while since Sony devices have had this level of support. My messing around days are behind me but it's nice to see as an old XDA fan.

Feeling honored to hear this! I was always a Friend of Xperia Devices and was User of NUTs Dual Recoveries, FXP and Doomkernels and started making/publishing own ROMs with the Xperia T back in the Days. It's really sad, seeing all the Telegram Chat Groups around with no Structure and all the missing Development over here on XDA. A lot of stuff around Android has changed the last Years, but it's still fun to try and mess around with all the new stuff. I just wish i had a Team to grow up the Support...
Hope i can bring some Life onto the new Xperias in a new age of Android. Your Words really pushed Me up again :angel: Thank You! :highfive:
System_A && System_B?
Are system and vendor taking up double the amount of space on the drive by being installed for two paths?

No. You have ROM storage and userspace storage on Your Device. Treble Android Devices have the Double amount of ROM Storage compared to non treble Devices. So it doesn't Matters If You only flash one Slot, Your user storage won't show more Space to use...
I understand the partitions are sized for two paths, which is the difference between an A only or A/B device (one system flag or two). Strange that the total space used wound't be displayed regardless of what the partitions are using. I was trying to gather the correct way to install a GSI rom and your instructions provided a new method for doing so. I guess I have to question whether the device I am installing on now is an A only or A/B device. Judging by the install size of 12gb for system which on other devices is roughly half, I am guessing it is an A/B device due to the space used.
Hi everyone, I just bought an Xperia 5, and being a little privacy concerned , I want to get rid of the Google parts of Android. After reading all the threads I found about this phone, and seeing that the Xperia 5 doesn’t have official support for LOS, I understand the most stable way to have a Google-free phones is by installing the GSI and then a Treble rom. I have the following doubts:
- Once I get everything installed following @Miustone 's guide, will I have to update the binaries every month? (I saw Sony posts vendor binaries every month on the Open Devices Website)
- If I install PHH’s treble Rom, will all the hardware work correctly (one message in this thread mentioned call volume problem)? What about the camera button?

Main Q&A:
Q: What is a Generic System Image, GSI?
A: A GSI is a prebuilt system image that can be booted on devices that support Project Treble. In short, this System Image is a custom ROM but it uses your Vendor, Kernel from your previous/stock ROM.
Q: Okay, but why I would like to flash it on my Redmi Note 11?
A: As we have already known, MIUI does not perform exactly well in the recent years, especially on such a low end and underpowered phone. GSI helps us getting a taste of AOSP's cleanliness and smoothness before the developers finish making actual custom ROMs. This is a temporary solution, good enough to use, please don't think or complain if your GSI perform badly, since it is not a ROM or trying to be one either.
Q: Why do we need a dedicated tool and such time wasting thing to do? Can't you just flash it in a custom recovery?
A; From Android 10, devices with it come equipped with a new partition scheme, as known as Dynamic Partition. It helps speeding up OTA updates and make the partitions more flexible in size. But also creates a huge difficulty in flashing those GSI, that is why you cannot flash the image in a custom recovery.
Q: My terminal window freezes at a certain progress for too long! What should I do?
A: This case often happens with Windows users. Everything is quite complicated BTS, but the workaround is just spamming Enter key several times every minute or two.
Q: What if I want to install a GSI on top of another one? I already flashed one, do I need to restore my MIUI or AOSP rom to flash GSI?
A: It is not necessary, you can flash a new GSI on top. The tool will clear your previous GSI without erasing required stuff from ROM.
Q: My GSI does not boot, what should I do??
A: I highly suggest using GSIs based on Phh's work. Those are often called Phh GSIs. Secondly I would highly suggest against using "Ported GSIs", those are often based on Erfan or Xiaoxindada's GSI tool, they are a port from a different device's ROM instead of directly built from source like Phh. Here is a list of GSIs based on the man himself, Phh.
Q: Bro my phone just boot to TWRP and nothing happens, computer still waits for my device??
A: Like I said before, you can try spamming Enter key. It is also likely that your TWRP does not support Fastbootd (Fastboot Dynamic) environment, an easy workaround for this is using MIUI's boot (kernel) image, stock Fastbootd mode will be used.
Q: Which Android version can I flash??
A: You can flash corresponding or NEWER Android version GSI with the ROM you are coming from/installing GSI on top, you cannot flash a lower version one. For example, you can flash Android 11, 12, 12.1, 13, bla bla GSIs when coming from stock Android 11 MIUI ROM (Android 11 Vendor for people who understands)
Q: Can I use this tool on another device?
A: Yes, with proper bringup and changes in the tool for it to compatible with your device and it will work. But I will not be responsible for bricks, which I always won't xD
More questions and answers will be updated later.
Reserved.
Thanks for this Awesome Tool. Quiet Simple and efficient.
@PingVN This script works on Xiaomi redmi note 11 4g codename selene?
crDroid Android is a free firmware distribution of Android 13, which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.
crDroid is based on the LineageOS & Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community.
All the source code for crDroid is available in the crDroid GitHub repo
Basic requirements:
Unlock your bootloader, make sure you are on Android 13 firmware (tested over 61.2.A.0.410)
Make sure you can send and receive SMS and receive calls (also via WiFi and LTE, if possible). It would be better for you to get VoLTE/VoWiFi utilized once on stock to provision IMS
Currently tested on XQ-BQ52 (Global version)
Current build has no Gapps built-in so it's up to you either to stay Gapps-less or flash Gapps version you want (I would recommend NikGapps personally)
Make sure you have gone through the installation guide once before proceed!
Installation:
Flash additional partitions and recovery.
Download the following files from the download link:
dtbo.img
vendor_boot.img
boot.img
Connect your device to your PC via USB if isn't already
If your device is not already in fastboot mode, on the computer, open a command prompt (on Windows) or terminal (on Linux or macOS) window, and type:
Bash:
adb reboot bootloader
Flash the downloaded image files to your device by typing:
Bash:
fastboot --set-active=a
fastboot flash dtbo_a <dtbo>.img
fastboot flash vendor_boot_a <vendor_boot>.img
fastboot flash boot_a <boot>.img
Now reboot into recovery to verify the installation:
Bash:
fastboot reboot recovery
Installing ROM from recovery
Download the crDroid installation package that you would like to install from the download link
If you are not in recovery, reboot into recovery
Now tap Factory Reset, then Format data / factory reset and continue with the formatting process. This will remove encryption and delete all files stored in the internal storage, as well as format your cache partition (if you have one).
Return to the main menu
Sideload the crDroid package
On the device, select "Apply Update", then "Apply from ADB" to begin sideload
On the PC, sideload the package using:
Bash:
adb sideload filename.zip
Return to the main menu
(Optionally) If you want to install any add-ons (Gapps, Magisk..), click "Advanced", then "Reboot to Recovery", then when your device reboots, click "Apply Update", then "Apply from ADB", then "adb sideload filename.zip" those packages in sequence.
Once you have installed everything successfully, click the back arrow in the top left of the screen, then "Reboot system now"

My daily driver for about a week now. Haven't found any problems so far. Seems everything to be working. But for sure we need more testing..

Well, it's not GSI if that's what you meant. Closed source proprietary blobs are taken from stock ROM, otherwise just fully-fledged build from crDroid sources.

Not exactly. There's an initiative called SODP which provides all the necessities and binaries to build anything you want. Alas, usually it's not stable enough, especially on newer devices with hard configurations (like with our periscope camera).
Anyway, gonna test crDroid today and report anything I'd find interesting or worth noting

Aah, I see. It's my first SONY device so I'm not aware about all the nuances yet No, it's not SODP based build.
thanks very nice rom
Good work, btw might want to do a rebuild with the newest Krispy version, major speedups on the 1 III that's running Krispy-v1.2.1 plus some battery life improvement, maybe I'll do 5 III builds too, if I get any testers that is.
Just installed this. Feels like I've been waiting ages for a custom ROM, and now here it is!
So far it seems too good to be true, not a single issue yet.

Will test later today. Curious to see if refresh rate can be locked @ 120hz. The GSI builds I tried on A11 and A12 were stuck at 60

For me it works. Magisk Delta does the trick.
After using it for a few days, it is very stable and smooth, the battery performance is also great, thank you for your efforts
Cannot get Photo Pro and other sony app running after install sony framework in Magisk delta. Any one else has the same issue?
