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.
Try using fastboot, you can flash the ROM directly to the system partition. There are some tutorials on how to do that.
im getting there. i got the image flashed, but only have 4G which is ok, but i cant install APKS becuase of some security flag, so im reinstalling everything and trying again
