It’s been a while since I was into unlocking and ROMing my devices, but I’ve got the itch again.
XDA used to be a good place, but… I hope I’m out of there loop or something, because it’s almost a ghost town compared to years ago.
I’ve got us carrier unlocked devices; OnePlus N10 and N20, Moto G7Power.
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

/e/OS?
It’s still XDA.
GSI are dominant now, device specific Roms are rare these days.

Here you go: GSI List

I see my N10 there 👍
Finally something to play with! Tyvm
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.
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.
- DSU works properly for Android 12 or greater.
- If fastboot works you don’t need twrp.
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.
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
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
Many of them are on Telegram. Try looking for the groups by device name.
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.
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
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.

Aw, I’m looking for a OnePlus N10 or N20 ROM 😓
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.
@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.
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.
👀
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…
