Install Redmi Note 7 Android 12.0 Firmware [Pixel 5 Developer Preview Port, Guide]

We all know that Google launches new Android system releases annually during the month of September, and this of course comes after several releases aimed at developers, and then after beta versions, almost monthly since the announcement of the first developer version until the last stable version.

Redmi Note 7 (Android 12 ROM)

After all, perhaps one of the greatest things that happened to Android was Project Treble. In simple words, this project came as a restoration of the architecture or the way Android OS updates work. Basically, Google’s Project Triple has “separated” the Android operating system itself from OEMs custom interfaces, so that companies can now send new system updates to their smartphones without having to first update the UI to fit the new system as it was in previous versions.

In addition to the quick updates, this feature has also given developers new ways to be able to modify stock Android AOSP ROMs to work on other Android devices, without having to do the usual tweaks or port as they needed before.

Quickly, the idea of ​​updating your phone to the new system, even if it was officially, became much easier and faster. So, yes, now we have what is known as GSI, which is an abbreviation of the word Generic System Images, meaning that they are versions of the Android OS that support flashing on all phones as long as they come with Android 8.1.0 or higher out of the box.
