Hey all,
im looking to ditch the stock rom and put a rom on that doesn’t have any proprietary stuff on it. i have a Moto G Stylus 5G 2024, and from XDA, it seems that there is not only root, but also GSI roms. do GSI roms still contain google binaries (play store, play services, etc…) or is it similar to a AOSP rom where its just a bare android image with no apps other than the very basic stuff? Sadly i can’t afford getting a pixel atm or another device that can run mobile linux or graphene, so just wanted to see if this was viable.
I wouldn’t use the pure phh GSI rom, it’s very barebones and comes with all debug options enabled.
Maybe this LineageOS miggt be better: https://github.com/MisterZtr/LineageOS_gsi/releases/tag/v2025.10.10
Or an Android 16 LineageOS (from the same repository), or other ones in this range. I have a suspicion that all these new ones are A/B compatible.
got it. will test it out and report back. time to dich google again.
