The Android Pie Generic System Image has been released. Android Pie GSI is based on the AOSP. It’s time to take the Project Treble supported phone to the work it was meant for. The Android Pie GSI is built by XDA phhusson, who previously built the LineageOS and Resurrection Remix GSIs as well. The Android Pie GSI can be installed on the phones that official support Project Treble and also the phones that were made compatible with Project Treble unofficially.

These are the devices that have already been tested with Android 9 Pie GSI
The above-mentioned phones are the ones on which the users installed Android Pie GSI and found it working well. If you have Android-Oreo powered phone, you can check it for Android Treble support.

That’s all with the installation of Android Pie GSI on the phone. This ROM doesn’t have Gapps at the moment. That is because of the ROM is in experimental stages.

Some users have even reported the ROM to be running so well that they decided to keep it as a daily driver.

Tried to install this on my htc u11 eyes and now it boots to white reboot screen and I can reboot to recovery and bootloader screen. I am also having trouble finding any roms that will work for this phone.
