Hoy, por fin, he flasheado mi móvil, un Samsung Galaxy A71, con LineageOS.

He usado como inspiración esta descripción: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/a71/install/ . Pero como esta basada en el uso de un ordenador con Windows, que no tengo, he usado directamente a Heimdall para los pasos de flasheo, después de desbloquear el bootloader.

En un momento tuve un susto, como el móvil arrancó automáticamente en modo descarga, y nada más fue posible. Mi error fue flashear solo la imagen de recovery de LineageOS, sin vbmeta. Lo correcto es flashear las dos imagenes a la vez:

heimdall flash –VBMETA vbmeta.img –RECOVERY recovery.img –no-reboot

Después pude reiniciar el móvil en modo recovery, e flashear LineageOS desde la tarjeta SD. Y, ha funcionado bastante bien.

Por fin he liberado mi móvil de Google (y de todo el bloatware de Samsung)

Showoff. I only get appliance repair guys who ignore me when I say "the factory fix won't work. there's 10 youtubes with a better fix"

@drwho My experience w/ a different Samsung device was that ... rooting was extraordinarily difficult.

Again: Samsung are on my Never Buy MotherfuckingEver list, across multiple product lines.

@AdrianooFigooo Each product has utterly and completely failed to meet expectations.

Electronics loaded with crap, locked down, and nonextensible.

Appliances delivered DOA MULTIPLE TIMES, and falling apart within a few years. This for products which should last 15--20 years minimum.

Absolute shit support in all cases.

And far too many others with similar reports. There was a thread on HN a ways back I could hunt down should you be interested.

@Natanox Samsung are on my Never Buy NeverFuckingEver due to repeated disappointments across multiple product lines: mobile electronics, household appliances, desktop peripherals.

@temporal Solved.

So ... one might think that the way to keep a keyboard from trying to choose from amongst several possible language options would be to assign it one and only one option.

One would be wrong.

Solution for a Samsung Android v 5 device

(Given that no two Android device interfaces are the same, Your Mileage Will Fucking Vary. This works for me, for now.)

Settings -> Language and Input -> Physical Keyboard (select your keyboard's description) > Set Keyboard Type

Ensure that NO LANGUAGES ARE SELECTED. Then back out of settings.

Typing <shift>+<space> no longer pops up the language toggle nor eats spaces.
