If you are someone with a taste for customizing your Android smartphone, then you must have heard of and used the LineageOS. You would be excited to learn that unofficial LineageOS 17 GSI for Treble supported devices has been released. GSI, as we know, is the Generic System Image. It brings a pure Android implementation for smartphones that come under Project Treble. Developers came up with the custom GSIs to extend the support of AOSP based system images to a number of smartphones.

LineageOS 17 GSI has been developed by XDA developer AndyYan. It offers better options for customization as compared to the Android 10 GSi developed by phhusson of XDA. Besides, as we stated above, a majority of smartphones should be able to run LineageOS 17 GSI. However, if you have a device that is bought from China, due to certification regulations, this GSI may not work.

In this guide, we have put up the link to download the GSI of LineageOS 17. Also, as usual, we have put up the tutorial to flash the GSI image on your respective device.

We must remind you that the GSI based on LineageOS 17 has taken its derivation from the phhusson’s Android 10 GSI. So, there are chances that you will face some bugs and glitches. So, if you are an enthusiast in true means, then go ahead and try out the GSI. You may first try the Android 10 GSI. In case, you find no bug on your respective device, then go ahead and also try out the LineageOS 17.
