PSA: AICP latest treble is great - Honor 7X Guides, News, & Discussion

Okay so I've been trying some treble gsi's and yesterday I installed the AICP image on my phone. I've had zero issues, magisk works, substratum works, the style option in settings works, magisk modules work, the rom is really smooth and has a lot of settings and the battery life is pretty good too :^]
Download link: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1LtPNR6R4dxJslXFIjpF9FhyfEfhBTCOa
List of available treble images: https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Generic-System-Image-(GSI)-list
Gapps: https://opengapps.org
Latest magisk: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YftvNNZVruyYgtFE5wFsgLTDDb4Yux5W/view
Install process is the same as with any other treble rom.
Happy flashing!
edit: typos

Quick question... where did you get this? Because I never saw a AICP treble ROM thread. Anyway, that doesn't really matter. I have to give you my gratitude for sharing this ROM! I was about to give up and go back to the ugly stock EMUI.
I owe you one!
EDIT: It would be better to say in the original post if there are GApps included with this ROM or not, it would help clear up some confusion.

I feel you man, at first I thought treble was too unstable for daily usage but luckily I was wrong! I found the rom on a github page of a fellow xda user: https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Generic-System-Image-(GSI)-list
It has all the treble roms that are currently availabe if you wanna try 'em out
And there are no gapps included in the rom itself, I used the pico package from opengapps.

Volte doesn't work, i don't think any of the treble roms have it though, same goes for safetynet. Camera works great tho.

You can make just about any ROM pass safteynet by grabbing Magisk Root, and install the module MagiskHide Props Config. Then using the terminal commands you can install the Huawei fingerprint thus passing safteynet correctly.

That's awesome! I didn't know about that. I've ran into an issue with the terminal tho when trying to run su:
$ su
CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE "/sbin/su": "/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/lib/libtermux-exec.so" is 64-bit instead of 32-bit
Aborted
Any solution for this?

Possible to have a antutu screenshot?

Sounds like root isn't install correctly? Did you check with Root Checker from play store? Which terminal program did you use? You ran su and granted root access first right?
I can't get this ROM to flash. tried both with fastboot tools and flashing the img in TWRP. I just get the Generic "Serious problems have occurred..." message
Edit: NVM I am a moron. Was flashing the AB image. :facepalm:

Bugs spotted
1. Lockscreen clock sometimes does not show, along with the date. I don't know the reason why, it just sometimes doesn't show it, like when your reboot your phone.
2. Can't set duration for long pressing the power button to enable the flashlight.
That's all the bugs I've noticed so far.

Is there a TWRP that works with Custom 8.1 Roms? I checked the P10 forums and nada Everything is EMUI 8.1 or Custom 8.0 ROMs only. I need working TWRP for this ROM.

On this AICP ROM? No, I never got the error.
Did you do a clean flash, and did you do a factory reset after flashing this rom?
Got lots of apps crashing because I didn't do a factory reset after flashing treble ROMs.

No go. Still get crashing with play services. Just to be sure you are flashing Pico Gapps 8.1 ARM64 right?
I tried a factory reset with stock recovery as well.

Hi !
Does it work on BND-L21C432 ? What are the steps to install the rom ? Does it have to be EMUI 8.0 ?
Thank you for your work on this rom!

Hello ,
Working great so far ,
but I needed to flash Magisk because LOS
integrated Root seems not to work for me.
I've installed all my apps and no probs .
mfg , hjf :good:
b.t.w. comming from RR and did a format before installing.
Don't forget to unmark readonly in mount.
I'm using this since yesterday, everything seems to work so far. Including double tap to wake and fingerprint.
I flashed from MIUI EU ROM 7.4.27 (Android 6), wiped Cache, System and Data in TWRP and flashed lineage.zip followed by opengapps.zip.
As root solution I'm using magisk 12.0 and the Xiaomi SafetyNet Fix Module, passing safetynet.
Had to flash a different twrp.img for touch to work in recovery too.
I made a backup of RR O606 , flashed this rom based on N 7.1. 2 , flashed latest gapps, flashed SuperSU instead of Magisk. All is fine so far ...using as a daily phone...smooth fast without hiccups ...Let s see if this nightly or weekly...
Well it works. Great news indeed.

Thank you for informing us this good news ! this rom is excellent for daily use, stable, and good battery : we don t have to fight any more for the double tap, overheating and many annoying thinks such as screen gets dark , echo with loudspeaker and so on...and we have as genuine 7.1.2 on MI MIX !
Flashed the rom, works great but I can't find the fingerprint setting, anyone knows if I missed something?

I'm still having the speakerphone echo problem with this Rom. I didnt expect it to be any different from RR Rom. If papps can't fix it, any aosp rom will have the same issue.

No never had the problem, something like flash dev, set up fingerprint reinstall twrp, then you should be good to go. Think there is a guide somewhere on RR. Have to be careful you don't relock bootloader, when using mi flash, there is an option somewhere in miflash. Find a guide. Edit: something like this
rappa619 said:
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Flash fastboot version of China dev rom using mi flash tool
3. Register your fingerprint in that rom
4. Flash twrp from fastboot
5. In TWRP go to advanced wipe, wipe system, data, both caches. Then press back and factory reset/format data to remove encryption
6. Flash this rom + gapps + magisk 12
7. Reboot, install magisk manager.
8. Disable busybox in magisk manager.

The only things broken are live display and auto brightness. Here's the link: THREAD
Pretty impresive for a generic image. Our Android phones are becoming like PCs.

No need for TWRP I believe, fastboot will suffice. Also the phone has the A-only partition type, not A-B.

Unlock the bootloader, factory reset from recovery, flash system image from fastboot, factory reset from recovery, then reboot. Also make sure that you have upgraded to EMUI 8 / Android 8. I only tested the stock GSI.
So I've been testing this for awhile. I can't find anything broken. Plus the live display and auto brightness features are fixed in v4. I don't have Bluetooth headphones to test that but I did test a Bluetooth controller and it works fine. It's worth noting that the openkirin team are working on this rom (or at least their patches get merged in) so it probably has newer patches and fixes that aren't in the ROMs on this forum.

One more thing. If you have a slow LTE connection, you can fix that by installing kernel auditor and setting the TCP mode to Reno. Then it'll be back to full speed. (In misc.)

f-droid expert mode - f-droid privileged extension not appearing

I'm trying to install the f-droid privileged extension OTA zip, but after flashing it in TWRP, when I open F-Droid, the 'Expert mode' in the settings doesn't show it.
Steps I took....
1. Installed the FDroid.apk downloaded from https://f-droid.org/en/
2. Booted into TWRP and flashed the org.fdroid.fdroid.privileged.ota_2070 downloaded from here;
https://f-droid.org/packages/org.fdroid.fdroid.privileged.ota/
Here's the actual path to the OTA zip;
https://f-droid.org/repo/org.fdroid.fdroid.privileged.ota_2070.zip
Rebooted back into ROM, which by the way is AOSiP 5.6, started F-Droid for the first time, went to settings, Expert Mode, and nothing...
So here the developer puts out the OTA zip to flash in TWRP, it's mentioned here;
https://gitlab.com/fdroid/privileged-extension/
Then it's not working, or I'm missing something? Does anyone know how to do this manually? When I look at the site for the OTA it says this, Fixed OTA ZIP for Android 8.0 Oreo, and the custom roms is Oreo 8.1.0, so maybe this isn't supported?
I know there is Magisk Module and NanoDroid for F-Droid, but for now, I'd like to figure out why this OTA zip is not working?
Also can anyone explain, what the Pros & Cons are of installing manually VS using NanoDroid-Fdroid or Magisk?

Well, it's the App to use, there's also YalpStore.
This is about MicroG/FakeGapps, using a rom with No Gapps, no Google Play Store, etc...
It's taken me a little time, but I've figured out how to do a nice clean Custom Rom install with NoGapps, and use MicroG.

lost root after installing custom ROM; is there any way to root without data loss

Hi,
I am very new to this forum. I respect all you guys for your achievements.
This is the first time I have rooted a phone. After many days of trial and error, I was successful in installing Lineage 16 on to my phone.
My phone (Redmi 3S) seems to have lost root access after the custom ROM (lineage-16.0-20200902-nightly-land-signed) installation.
Is there any way to root it again without data loss?
I had rooted my phone with SuperSU after which I had automatically got the root checker app. But after installing the lineage-16.0-20200902-nightly-land-signed version, when I checked, I got the message that it wasn't properly rooted. Also, the SuperSU root checker app was missing.
I was wondering if it is advisable to go for Magisk instead of SuperSU.
Please help.
Regards,
Hitesh KH

Follow the official guide, and for the step 8 in "Installing LineageOS from recovery" changed "LineageOS’ AddonSU" by Magisk and reboot.
Thanks for the reply. I will try that ASAP and get back
Hi Noru29,
Thanks for the reply.
As such, I planned to do just that — a clean wipe (planned to wipe the system, data, caches, etc. Any suggestion on that?) and then install the Magisk and then flash the custom ROM again.
I think this would also help me hide the fact that I have rooted the phone. I read it somewhere rooting via Magisk can help trick the apps into believing that the phone is not rooted.
Right now, many of the apps decline services saying that they find my phone rooted. Meanwhile, the root checker tells me that my phone is not rooted — it almost says that it can't find any trace of SuperSU.
Thanks for all the help.
Regards,
Hitesh KH

Clean Flash is the way to go. Magisk Hide helps hide root status from most apps.
I would also suggest Fork LOS 17.1 by Sairam. Its based on 4.9 kernel with a few useful extras not found in Official LOS(16) . Its undoubtedly one of the most fluid ROMs available for land. Stable and no glaring issues even though its only a few builds old.
P.S. Your custom ROM journey has started at a good time. Android 11 has already been booted in land by Sairam. Of course many bugs still to squashed.

Hi Noru29,
Like I said earlier, I'm very new to this.
I was wondering if I will be able to get the apps that I have installed on my phone right now.
Can you please share with me the link of Sairam's fork (if you have saved it)? Otherwise, I shall look it up.
In the lineage 16 version I've right now, I had to remove a part of the script. Only after that was I able to install lineage on to my phone.
Thanks,
Hitesh KH.

Hi Noru29,
what I meant was if I change the OS from the Lineage OS 16 to the fork created by Sairam (17.1) will my phone get back the settings and apps (if I take a backup before wiping) that I had downloaded earlier?
I'm really eagerly waiting for the Lineage OS based on Android 11.
Thanks,

Fork LOS https://sourceforge.net/projects/te...ge-17.1-20200827-UNOFFICIAL-land.zip/download
You will need the latest Orangefox recovery in order to flash ROMs based on 4.9 kernel. https://sourceforge.net/projects/an...efox/OrangeFox-R11.0-Stable-land.zip/download
Android 11 based ROMs are some ways off from being stable enough for daily use.
Clean flash.
You can use Migrate to backup and restore apps+app data.

Hi amn1987,
Thanks for the guidance. I will try that ASAP.
By the way, I think I will wait for the stable version of Lineage OS based on Android 11. I will be using my Redmi 3S that I use as my daily device. I wanted to try LOS on my Nokia 6.1 plus too, but it has gone dead after falling into a bucket of water.
Wow, there is an app (forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-migrate-custom-rom-migration-tool-t3862763) for that too! ???. ? (https://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=7237343 tusi great ho).
Thanks,

As I said above it could be a while before A11 is stable enough. Meanwhile Fork LOS is great. Enabling Battery Saver cuts down on idle drain.

hi amni1987,
I installed this fork on my Redmi 3S recently. As such it looked neat, but I wasn't able to use any of the Google apps, including the Play Store. The main problem was the Google Play Services. A pop-up used to come showing Google Play Services not installed properly.
I was wondering what the problem might be and would appreciate a solution.
Thanks,
Hitesh KH.

Which GApps did you use? I am currently on RR 8.6.3 with Open GApps Pico and I haven't come across any such issue.
