Question about A-only devices
Closed this issue · 3 comments
Hey, I would like to upgrade my Huawei MediaPad M5 Lite to a newer version (it's currently running stock EMUI 8.0.0). My Treble Info results are:
- Required image: system-arm64-aonly.img.xz
- Project Treble: Supported
- VNDK version: 26.0
- Linker namespace isolation: VNDK is not in lite mode
- Manifest location: Legacy
- System as Root: Disabled
- Seamless Upgrades: Unsupported
- Dynamic Partitions: Unsupported
- CPU architecture: ARM64
- Binder architecture: 64-bit
This leads me to believe that I would need an A-only GSI to upgrade, but the last release with an A-only image was AOSP 11.0 v313. I would assume the latest A/B images in this repo are incompatible. Does this mean release 313 is the final version of Android my tablet is capable of running?
Thanks in advance.
This is correct. You'll do your own experimentations, but it's possible that the best version for you is rather the even older AOSP 10 v222
FWIW, it might be possible for you to somehow find a way to upgrade to EMUI9, which would give you AB, and would allow you to get Android 14. I think you should be able to find such community upgrades on the internet
Thank you very much.
