What Are Generic System Images? Typically, the way most conventional custom ROMs like LineageOS are made is that they’re compiled from source code with one specific device in mind. This means that the ROM not only includes a system image, but also includes a kernel and all specific device blobs and libraries, and other hardware-specific code, needed for it to not only replace a phone’s original firmware but actually have most components and features work....
