Update via GSI-images (treble)?

Hey @blackview_admin,

a while ago, i read about GSI-images, that this should work with Android 8+ and would allow a Update for Android 10.

Official information: https://source.android.com/setup/build/gsi (you can also find downloadable images there)

XDA/Lineage-os: https://forum.xda-developers.com/projec ... s-t4004673

This is especially interesting as new Bluetooth-vulnerabilitys are around and we're affected. With Android 10, the attack would crash even with the insufficient security-patch.

As i use my phone daily:
- How reliable is this? Are we compatible enough?
- @blackview_admin: was this tried within your dev-team? Can you share results?
- @anyone else: If you collected expiriences, please share :)
- Also other models than BV9700 can be interessting (or: what's the minimal requirement? BV8000?)

If that's a solution for more frequent updates, that would may be a reason to choose BV next time again. Lets see :)

nice! the question about a release-date is there. also would be interessting if its android 10 (the only "no" i accept here is from blackview_admin) and more

but the reason i wrote my questions is to be more up to date in a more independend way. so, still if anyone tried around with GSI's, pls share that info..
