Android 10 GSI ROM v200.e available for download and Install

A generic system image (GSI) is a system image with unmodified configurations for Android devices running on a particular Android OS version. It’s considered to be pure Android software without any changes in the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) code. If your device is running on Android 8.1 Oreo or higher, you can install GSI ROM manually. After the launch of Android 10 or Android Q, the first build of Android 10 GSI is ready to download and install. You will get the Android 10 GSI ROM v200.e download link from the below of this article.

Due to Google’s Project Treble support for the Android Oreo or higher devices, the developers and smartphone OEMs are now able to provide faster updates and test applications as well. Previously, the Android 9.0 Pie GSI ROM from phhusson was quite popular due to support for a lot of devices. The older devices which are not able to receive the Android Pie update officially can run Pie GSI ROM.

Android 10 GSI ROM Performance

Those who’re still running on Android Oreo and won’t receive any future Android updates on their devices can run Android 10 based GSI ROM. Though it’s a custom or unofficial firmware, at least you can get a taste of the latest Android version.

However, the early beta builds are not as usable as your primary device. But after getting a few updates, you may get a stable user experience than before. Mostly, some of the apps or functions won’t work properly but those issues can be fixed by the developers if reported by the users.

The early beta build of v200 was the first release of Android 10 GSI by the developer. However, that may have some issues and the developer mentioned that it’s a pre-release version. That may not boot your device in some cases. But the recently released v200.e version comes with some of the bug fixes. Check out the changelog below:

Make sure to install the modded Magisk file if you want to flash Android 10 GSI via Magisk. We have already provided the download link for that.

ONLY IF YOU USE MAGISK: Download the modded magisk-phh.zip file. This is a modded Magisk-v19.3.zip to boot this Android Q GSI. (it will prevent any other ROM from booting so you’ll need to revert when switching!)

If you don’t know how to install the GSI ROM, check out the installation guide below.

Using TWRP

  • Make sure your device is rooted and have the latest TWRP recovery (Version 3.2.1 or Higher) installed. (Check the Pre-Requirement Section Above)

  • Now transfer the downloaded files to the internal storage of your device.
  • Now reboot to the TWRP recovery
