Bugs
- Bootlooping sometimes on GSI's
- UI glitches
- Pasccodes cause a bootloop
Notes:
GM 9 GO is identical to this device, with a lack of a fingerprint sensor (loongruige - GM 9 Go)
GSI's are very buggy on this phone and not stable. (Tohru - GM 8 Go)
Android 11 aosp gsi's did not work for me. (Tohru - GM 8 Go)
Newer Android 10 builds sometimes work but will bootloop at some times (Tohru - GM 8 Go)
