It's about time for the original GPD XD to join the fray.

How to install: Unpack the attached files using 7zip and follow the included instructions found inside README.txt. Alternatively, you can also follow my visual guide available for Microsoft Windows & Ubuntu Linux.

For those needing root: Magisk is included out of box and only needs to be activated on first boot. Activating Magisk is also a requirement to pass CTS certification (needed for Netflix). If you intend to use CTS certified apps, please activate Magisk before logging into your Google account.

Changelog

  • Initial Android 8.1 build / Treble port (which comes with a brand new Mali T760 r19 driver)

Known issues

  • WiFi burns through battery like crazy (ESP8086 driver sucks)
  • Suspend mode doesn't work yet (ESP8086 driver to blame for this as well)
  • Sensors HAL is currently dummied out (I'll have to write a custom one for this)
  • HDMI output works, but breaks audio until reboot (I'll have to write a custom audio HAL to fix this)
  • It takes the Google Apps quite a bit to fully update (this will show as horrible battery life / thermals for the first 30 minutes after logging in, not much I can do about this)
