Android P for moto G5 plus is now available , thanks to project treble. Moto G5 Plus was a simple phone with no treble support, but recently it got unofficial treble implementation which made us possible to run android P on G5 plus. Its not the final P, its a developer preview 5 which was released by google only for some limited high end devices. Recently developer erphan abdi ported the developer preview from Pixel 2 and made it available to all treble enabled devices in the form of GSI image.
I have tested this ROM on my Moto G5 plus , and I am one of devs (No, I am not a dev actually) from the team who helped in fixing volte and camera issues as well as testing of the kernel to fix storage issues which we were facing before releasing it to the public on XDA and Telegram.
If you are totally new to custom ROMs and GSI things , then I suggest you should search on google about it and try to learn before trying these things. This article is only for those who are familiar with flashing custom roms.
As of now the ROM is running fine without any major issues which stop you from using it as daily driver. So lets get started and see the procedure of how to flash and use it.

-On first boot , Device will power off automatically and go to recovery, don't worry , just reboot again and it will be fine this time.
-After boot You have to install Google Play Services version 12.8.74 (apkmirror) to get rid of notifications after boot. Install it via adb or by downloading apk file on ur phone or PC.
