Download and Install Android 10 AOSP Update For Honor 7A {GSI}

Now Honor 7a users can update their devices to Android 10 with AOSP GS-project treble ROM. This is really a great news as now users can experience the latest Android 10 on a 2017 released device.

We are really thankful to Xda recognized developer phhusson for developing and sharing the GSI based Android AOSP ROM.  According to the developer, most of the important features are working in the ROM. But still we don’t recommend users to flash the ROM on their primary device.

GSI Stands for Generic system image. It is a system image close to “pure Android” based on unmodified Android Open Source Project (AOSP) code. GSI ROMs can be installed on supported project treble enabled devices. Now there are many Android 10  based GSI ROM made available for project trebled devices.
