Generic System Images (GSIs} enabled the android devices that comes with Treble support to use Stock AOSP android and any other GSIs. Moto G5 Plus received unofficial treble support thanks to dev Vache. As we know Google officially supported the GSI system and released documentations on how to build GSIs. After the Pie sources release devs started working on building GSI and making custom ROMs. As of now for Moto G5 plus there is no Pie based custom ROM is available, but thanks to project treble, we can use the GSIs which are based on Android 9.0.

Remember

The pixel experience GSI comes in a Zip format, you have to extract it first using any archive manager like Zarchiver or Winrar. You will get a .img file after extracting, this is what we need. Pixel Experience GSI already includes gapps, we do not have to flash gapps separately. Make sure you using treble enabled TWRP.
