2024.[Full guide] [A14 QPR2] [Apatch] [KSU] [microG] Install GSIs On Nabu / By Exam with "LeOS -U base on Ponse's AOSP" & "RisingOS GSI" (2024)

Reserved Part 2

(microG for A14)​

Every GSI will need less battery than MIUI. Because MIUI is permanent 'calling home' and sending personal data to Xiaomi. If you want to have a good battery usage, use a AOSP Vanilla GSI. Plus "HyperOS A13 for Nabu" is in static condition no update anymore then new GSIs Using is a good way to update this OS with your own.
( No No...... Port ROM)

For me very long times ago had learn and install so many good GSIs its safety , powerfull not less than dedicated custom ROM.

Make RW GSI (get rid of RO Variant )& Add new free spaces for inject your new code and features such as add "microG" files etc.

©Tools:
-Termux
+WSL2(modify gsi)
+microG
New alpha builds: for A14 from ale5000.
