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.
@grzegorz Success!!
@jellycrystals
Now the questions start. Do all the functions work? Did you install GApps?
@grzegorz
@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)
@jellycrystals Interesting. Looks like different banks use different approaches. I just checked my Bank here and it shows gold on MicroG. Is yours in the database? https://plexus.techlore.tech/apps

@grzegorz No they aren't. What is this list?
@jellycrystals According to the author it ”provides detailed insights into app compatibility whether you’re using ROMs without Google Play Services (like LineageOS) or ROMs with microG (such as CalyxOS). It helps you identify which apps work, don’t work or have limited features.
All the information is crowdsourced by the community, for the community.”
@grzegorz I did learn more about this site. Super useful! Not sure if I am ready to gamble 5hr of time with the bank if Lineage does not support my bank app, but if it is for the greater good..
@jellycrystals You're telling me you've never devoted three days to tinker with something only to realise you'd made no progress whatsoever? Worth it.
@grzegorz Oh I surely have! Trying to revive C64 hardware
