Bugs

  • Some UI flickers a lot

  • Little chance stucks at lockscreen when trying to unlock

  • System UI freezes frequently on some GSI (Try delete /System/app/NfcNci through any root explorer or TWRP

  • Magisk will cause R gsi not booting, uninstall it beforehand.

Requirements

  • Navigate to Yes using volume buttons, and hit it with power button

Installation

  • Install TWRP by typing fastboot flash recovery [TWRP Image]

  • Boot into TWRP, ignore if it shows data encrypted warning

  • Choose Wipe -> Format Data

  • Now choose Reboot -> Bootloader, It's fine if it gives a "No OS installed" error
