If you are experiencing crashes when Bluetooth is connected on certain GSIs, please disable media recommendations.

Steps to install

  • Step 1: Download & Install TWRP this guide if the TWRP provided boot loops after flashing GSI, try this updated version
  • Step 2: Download dynapatch here, disable-dm-verity here, and a GSI from probably here

Note: The availability of other camera sensors ( Macro, Wide-Angle and Depth sensor ) depends on the camera app you're using. You can access the extra sensors using a camera app that supports multiple sensors ( for example open camera ).
