I am going to attempt to put LineageOS on a Samsung A52 today. Other than the instructions on their software page, anyone got a good tutorial video to also use? #degoogle #LineageOS #SamsungA52 #tutorial

@jellycrystals Their instructions are quite comprehensive and well written. You'll be fine even without the video. Just read them before starting so that you encounter nothing unexpected. Years ago I flashed an Xperia XZ3 without prior reading because I live dangerously. Works till this day.

@grzegorz Good to know! I have followed many written tutorials before (mostly homebrew Nintendo and PSP modding) and never bricked anything, and this was just a house phone so no issue if I ruin it. Still just wanting to get it right.

Now the questions start. Do all the functions work? Did you install GApps?

@tip @jellycrystals Everything works. I installed MicroG and even my banking app didn't complain.

@grzegorz @tip I installed my bank app via Aurora Store and then it said app installation invalid, banking halted until Gstore install and I had to go to my bank. (Am in Thailand)

It's really frustrating.

@tip @jellycrystals Yeah, well, what can you do. I guess it's similar to the situation with gaming on Linux. The commercial solutions need to catch up. They're almost there on Linux, so I guess sooner or later the same will happen for degoogled Android.
