What is Android GSI?
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
In today's video, I explain in layman's words "what is Android GSI?"
GSI is basically Generic System Image that can be installed on ANY Android device running Android 9.0 or higher.(or phones that came out with Android 9 or higher) These newer Android phones all support Project Treble and can flash a GSI. Now, the problem is that flashing GSI isn't all that easy and requires a meticulous, special method for each brand of Android smartphone. In fact, installing GSI is probably harder than getting the hottest girl in your class to a date. Even Google's own Pixel smartphones have different methods of installing for each of the Pixel phones. E.g. Pixel 2 GSI installation method is completely different from Pixel 3 & 4.
While Google has tried to really bring new way of allowing older phones to upgrade to the latest Android OS, they did not give everyone a backward-compatible method of installing GSI, thus causing massive headaches and sleepless nights for Android developers. It is a big giant mess out there but once we can figure out how to flash GSI and make it boot for an Android device, the good news is that you can flash all of the GSI out there already and make your phone super, duper fast.

You will keep adding new accents ? LoL ! I laughed a lot when I saw the intro. Thanks for teaching me something new. Had no idea what GSI is. Will you do videos again like in the past ? I mean when you took phones apart, show us how good cameras are, just like you did with Nexus 6P and all the other crazy things ? I miss those videos a lot and I love your channel a lot.
Great video Max.. I was also ignorant of GSI, now I'm a born again GSI guru lol.. Now I have been a creep, can I have your T-shirt !

In simple terms A GSI is like an computer os iso which is only one file that can be flashed on different devices having different hardware!
I am using derpfest bare edition android 10 rom in my OnePlus 5t 😍.... Smooth AF... BTW which rom are u developing?
hi Max. is there any GSI for Razer Phone 1?
Welcome back Max
i have bad news smartphones launching with android 10 will never accept gsi rom. I tried everything impossible to mount the system partition. Dynamic partition bro . only .zip files can be flashed, .IMG files not possible.
GSI generic system image (GSI) is a system image with adjusted configurations for Android devices. It's considered a pure Android implementation with unmodified Android Open Source Project (AOSP) code that any Android device running Android 8.1 or higher can run successfully. GSIs are used for running VTS and CTS-on-GSI tests.

Yes that's what it's for but rom devs have made their own custom gsi so users can use them on their devices. Well we have own custom world here. 😅🤣🤣🤣🤣
I am trying to install GSI rom for mi 8 lite but it keeps popping fastboot mode. I just download the A file, flash it as IMG but it doesn't work. Can you explain this installation step by step? If necessary, get it for 2 hours.
7:15, What's the phone in the front, is it a pixel 3? Also yeah I am planning to get a OnePlus 5t lol.

first you have to install a rom that supports project treble on the pixel 1 , then you can install gsi port without any problem✌️
I really wish all Android phones worked like Windows computers. You can just use the latest version and get the original drivers even if it's old

install treble check (its on play store) then open it then it will tell you if its supported if yes you are lucky then you need to find out if its A or A/B and at last you need to find out your architecture this youtuber already made a tutorial its called "How to install GSI on any android device" or something like that check it out then you will probably understand it :D

It should, depends on the GSI. A GSI allows you to flash a system image to any device with Treble support, allowing you to update it to newer versions or install a custom GSI when there is no custom ROM made for your device.

Ok guys after you install GSI make sure you wipe a batterystats.bin for battrey life increase.. wait until 100% and wipe the battstats.bin , if not wipe battrey will be drain, this my experiment when i'm not wipe my battrey drain after i wipe battrey normal again
