Additional Notes for Nokia 1 Plus

Only “arm32_binder64-ab-vanilla” flavor is known working.

You must wipe data / factory reset under stock recovery + stock ROM before flashing this treble GSI, don’t use fastboot to erase userdata (either format userdata, -w or flash userdata are not acceptable). Otherwise you’ll only get less than 1GB free storage space to use.

Android 10 for Nokia 1

  • Very unstable.
  • Wi-Fi will kinda hang system. Sometimes will not work at all.
  • Quickstep/SystemUI lock screen will hang the system and shows blank screen with System UI bar after a long while (Usually overnight sleep).
  • Don’t set a lock screen. Will hang system and no password has been set after that. (Encryption issues)
  • That means you can’t even use your existing user data from Android 8.1 or 9 to upgrade it. It will ask for Non-existent password when done with the upgrade. So backup before doing stuff.
  • Video codec is kinda broken (As seen in Google’s looped static videos in Pixel Setup Wizard, Gesture settings illustration video)
  • If system freaked out and got a Soft-reboot. Modem software will never work again until a full reboot is initiated.
