Guide for Installing GSI on Exynos2100 devices

Instructions for installing AOSP GSI on exynos2100 devices

Your warranty is now void. I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.

Instructions

  1. Download GSI of your choice. (ARM64 AB) Read below for more info
  2. If it is compressed (usually .xz) extract it to .img
  3. Boot into twrp.
  4. Select the GSI and flash to system.
  5. Flash TWRP_AIO_Fix_v5_GSI_exynos2100.zip Download
  6. Flash HariKernel (Permissive) Download
  7. Flash Magisk (Secure Variant of the GSI recommended, If available)
  8. Reboot to system
  9. Flash Temp-overlay-fix-v2-magisk-module-exynos2100-refreshrate.zip as a magisk module. This is a temporary step. This will not be needed in future GSI builds. Download Not needed on newer GSIs

Fixed Bugs

  • Hotspot (Flash Hari Kernel v2.2 or later)
  • Adaptive Refresh rate.
  • Random frame drops.
  • Adaptive Brightness. (Enable under display settings)
  • Inconsistant 60fps. (HW overlays dont need to be disabled)
  • Mic noise when recording video

Remaining Bugs

  • OTA. (Dont attempt this, This results in a bootloop, to get out of this you need to flash stock firmware with home_csc or wipe metadata partition if you have that option in recovery.)
  • Proximity sensor (works only on regular phone calls)
  • VoLTE/VoWiFi

GSI List

Recommended

Other GSIs

  • You can find a list here

Settings to change under phh-settings (will be set automatically after you connect to Wifi)

Samsung features

  • Enable access to all cameras
  • Enable extra sensors
  • Enable double tap to wake (if required)

Misc features

Wow, very useful comment @Rastoupine congrats!
Anyway I just tested on Samsung Exynos S22, S24 https://github.com/TrebleDroid/treble_experimentations/releases/tag/ci-20240508
and incoming and outgoing SMS are working on Free Mobile. 5G only works on S24 though, i'll look.

Hi guys! Is there anyone using a S21 with LineageOS 20??? I'm tired of OneUI, is a really great OS, but not for me, a stock android lover 😅 I've tried to join the telegram group, but the invite has expired. I'm going to ask just some generic questions, like:

• How is the battery life? • The best gapps to use? • Is there any gcam with full support? • Is banking apps and NFC payment working? • Does S21's TWRP support something like FBE?

And one that I think I'm the only one worried about: • Is there anything like Dex on stock android/LineageOS???

Sorry for all this annoying questions... ❤️

first of all if you install the twrp you cant see your datas in here . Cause of samsung's different encryption methodologies. you can look at TWRP teams reply in https://twrp.me/faq/encryptionsupport.html

keep resarching for succes mate. don't give up.
