    Of course Pixels have 7 years of Android upgrades, what's all that noise about? Yes, with Treble (even without really), Google could upgrade even Pixel 1 to Android 14 quite easily. Software upgrades are 100% business decision, never a technical limitation.

    Looks at this cute phone. Pixel 2016, running Android 12. I'll try for once to stop daily driving newer phone every 6 months and give a shot at actually using GSI to reduce e-waste.

    Took me a 4hrs to get Pixel 2016 up and running on A13 using TrebleDroid GSI and Google's latest vendor (2019), and that work will make a lot of devices boot GSI with no additional effort. Google made Treble near perfect, it's a shame it's not being put to good use.

    Thanks to Google changes for screen and hold for me, we can now implement fun stuff, like... rather than declining calls, you can rickroll them in background.

    A VoLTE call with an opensource Android IMS Stack \o/ It is still very broken. But it will give VoLTE to custom ROMs on Samsung. And many devices will get cross-sim wfc, EVS, better carrier workarounds, better security.

    If Google upgraded Pixel 1 to Android 14 through Treble, all Treble smartphones would be able to upgrade painlessly to Android 14. That's the whole point of Treble, commonize the maintenance work. Instead Google prefer that long term upgrades are a Pixel-exclusive feature.

    Treble has been around for now 4 years, we can now draw conclusions about the idea, its architecture and how Google follows it up. The architecture pretty much stands strongly. Props to the people who planned it, I was impressed then, and still am. 1/26

    Not too bad for a D+7 (or D-7 depends on point of view). But I still have many no-boot devices (notably Oreo/SAS devices)

    Bringing back Android multi-boot! Got a new project, it sits between boot.img and system, and can boot unmodified stock and GSIs. It's generic-ish, it can't switch kernel, but should be easy to transpose to other devices. Demo at

    A long time ago, Magisk was brand new, Huawei had open bootloaders, the dessert names were at their hypes, Google released Project Treble, Huawei upgraded Mate 9 to Oreo, and three stupid people tried this "GSI" thingy... and succeeded xda-developers.com/stock-android-… \

    I Booted Stock Android Oreo on the Huawei Mate 9 thanks to Project Treble
    Thanks to Project Treble support, we were successfully able to boot a stock, generic, AOSP Android Oreo system image onto the Huawei Mate 9.

    Let me rephrase it: It's because Google killed competition in launchers with their monopoly force, by breaking gestures with custom launchers.
