yes its A, flash A only
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] prashantp01:
You can even flash A only gsi, but it will not boot, so prefer A/B
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] kamalkiraa:
does anyone try any GSI?:):)
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lynjun002:
Hi thanks for response
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] t3chg33k:
It's great for the novelty but without fingerprint recognition and bluetooth calls, not to mention other bugs that will crop up, this isn't going to be a daily driver. Custom ROMs are still the best bet but without any developers on board, it doesn't seem like much development will be happening for this device.

Ultra Wide Angle work on GSIs ?
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] bobandar:
No as you wont have the stock samsung camera and gcam or any other 3rd party camera does not support the wide angle lens on our devices *yet*.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pratham Gajjar:
Doubt

Do the in display fingerprint scanner work? Or does even does face unlock work? I am very curious
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyterafle:
Ok I think they'll add support in future,a lot of phone have Wide Angle cam

Face Unlock work on all devices for Fingerprint I can't answer you I haven't buy A50 yet I'll do next month for my birthday
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] t3chg33k:
Just inquisitive as I have rooted my device with stock recovery only. From what I have read, TWRP doesn't work with the latest kernels, so how are all the patches going to be flashed assuming the system image is flashed using fastboot?
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] xsleena:
I think this is a good beginning :) please keep the good work :)
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] xsleena:
Any update please :angel: ?

Maybe someone has tried which roms is the best for our lovely A50 ?
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] prashantp01:
as i mentioned in bug list FP will not work

Do u have twrp installed ?

Hello,

Just to constribute something useful to the conversation I will like to add some points to the discussion:

1. once bootloader unlocked and flashed a GSI, all features for which you bought this phone with warranty is gone

2. GSI fixes would need root and would cause problems for banking on international travel

3. Most of the time of the day goes off in doing work arounds and working around with GSI
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] prashantp01:
install magisk manger with random package name and then use magisk hide to make banking apps work. i had sam issues on hdfc bank app but this method always fixed
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] t3chg33k:
Since I was messing around with the new TWRP, I thought I'd give the GSI images from phhusson a go. The A-B variant simply reboots to Download mode whereas the A variant puts the phone in a bootloop. In short, GSI doesn't work on the A50 with the current TWRP.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] moteofsun:
I tried aswell with the latest version of TWRP and I encounter the same issues as you. I will give it the last try with LineageOS to see if it works or not.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] iel0000:
have you tried [MENTION=6424050]zvox[/MENTION] guide on flashing gsi?
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] moteofsun:
Yes. I already tried [MENTION=6424050]zvox[/MENTION] guide on flashing GSI and no success. I still encounter bootloop after bootloop.

I've tried for more than 6 hours yesterday with different GSI's and no luck.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] prashantp01:
Thread updated ! Few people tested A-only GSI and it booted, so I will recommend you to flash A-only GSI from thread
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] redymedan:
Need help! I have installed GSI ROM A-only but bootloop when install open_gapps-arm64-9.0-stock-20190630 any suggestion gapps? thank you

did u flashed fix boot zip ?
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] redymedan:
Yes, I did. I have followed all these steps without any error message... when rebooting to system I got bootloop... I think GSI_Fix_boot.zip does not work
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] CBET:
thank you, i'm looking forward to have a stable daily driver bloat-free custom rom!
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] prashantp01:
try any other A-only arm64 gsi
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] redymedan:
I have tried other A-only arm64 GSI but failed.. the problem is bootloop
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] prashantp01:
Are u sure you followed this exact steps ?

Download the desired GSI (it MUST be A-only_arm64 Variant)

unpack it if it wasn't in .IMG format

Go to TWRP , Install , Install IMAGE

Pick your GSI and select SYSTEM IMAGE

Reboot to TWRP Recovery

Flash "GSI_Fix_boot.zip"
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] redymedan:
Yes, Of course.. I have followed all the steps correctly

My Samsung A50 battery life is a joke (3days only w/o using it at all :( ) - my old Zopo 980+ with custon ROM survived easy 2weeks. I am looking for Custom ROM that will extend battery life.

I notice that Resurrection remix is available for A50 https://www.getdroidtips.com/resurrection-remix-samsung-galaxy-a50/

Is anyone using it and can share info how it is working, what s battery life, etc? Is guild in link correct or I should install it a bit different way?
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] milankragujevic:
Okay first of all the A50 is AB (System-as-root), anyone saying it's A-only is lying, it was confirmed by Pierre Hugues-Husson himself. Second, it boots, I made an overlay for it, it's quite buggy, touchscreen crashes after some time, and the display cutout is buggy even with the overlay... All in all, pretty bad, but it'll get better soon.

hi

please anyone can create a new custom rom for A50 s10 plus ported <3 this will be really helpful
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] Diego1976:
It is A!!
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] milankragujevic:
It is a mistake, it is not A! Any device launched with Pie is System-as-root, meaning AB in phhusson's image terms. If you so wish, try A image, it won't boot. :P Try AB, it will. I am using a GSI (arm64-ab-gapps-su) on my A50 for a week already, it works "fine" (no dual-sim, no fingerprint, no signal bars indicator, touch stops working after a few days requiring a reboot). You don't have to trust me, ask phhusson. I don't care about your phone, I already have a GSI, I'm telling this to you out of the "goodness of my heart", but if you're stubborn, fine, be so, and everyone in this thread, you just won't have a GSI on your phone and I will. :good:

[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] Diego1976:
ok of course i trust ..

what rom GSI do you have installed?

do you think android q will work?
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] milankragujevic:
Q will work when it's released and implemented properly. Don't install preview GSI of Q, it won't work, I tried it.

I am using Phh vanilla GSI. We are working to fix in-display fingerprint today.

Have you managed to fix the fingerprint? Only thing really holding me back atm. Saw Phil said this on github, to another person who's fingerprint ain't working aswell "maybe you can create a debug log (see app settings) and post it here on Github or send it privately to crocoapps@gmail.com, that might contain a bit more information about what's wrong."

Have you used a GSI ROM since with working signal bars and one where touch doesn't stop working at all? Are you running GSI as a daily driver still? I appreciate any information :)
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] milankragujevic:
I have used Android 10, it works fine if you follow my instructions here: https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Samsung-Galaxy-A50-(Exynos)

I have returned the phone after having it for 5 months and getting it replaced 5 times because it would break (battery puffs up, motherboard dies, display dies, touch dies, fingerprint and camera dies). In the end I got money back and bought a different, cheaper, phone.

In my experience (and my colleagues at work, the company gave every employee an A50 as work phone), the phone is excellent on paper, but in reality it is absolutely awful. 60% of the people have problems with it, and it's very slow, buggy, lags a lot, freezes, reboots, etc.

A much worse and cheaper phone (Redmi 8A) is a much better experience FOR ME.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Thanks for your reply, I think without power management working correctly it's a no go :( I'm getting a good 10 hours screen on time with my phone currently meaning I can get between 1-2 days with my usage and at most the phone feels warm, never hot like my old phone, I can't bring myself to go back to that lol.

Thanks for the info, I was kind of forced into getting this phone as I couldn't justify buying a phone outright so was limited to what phones carriers would offer with their contracts and the A50 fit my needs with the exception of having a bigger screen than I wanted and ROM support being very small. I may have to just root and debloat or try the lite ROM that's available as other phones are lacking everything I need. Let's hope I'm one of the 40% :/
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] BCE111:
Just wondering anyone's thoughts on what brand of extra lenses and what lengths might be best suited for the Redmi Note 7. I did some research but couldn't really narrow it down. I was looking for a wide angle lens for openers. The Moment lens was a bit expensive at $120 and I wasn't sure if it would fit. And some of the other less expensive clip-on ones had various issues like vignetting, chromatic aberration, and barrel distortions. Thanks.

[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] ElCoyote_:
I'm really scratching my head over this one.. if anyone has any idea. Here goes:

Hi,

I have a Xiaomi Mi Mix (lithium) device with LOS-15.1 (20190317) with a recent set of firmwares)

(lithium_global_images_9.4.25_20190425.0000.00_8.0_global)

My phone is encrypted and works fine under 15.1 (it asks for a device password on reboot and then proceeds to boot LOS).

However, when I attempt to install LOS 16.0 (tried the last 3 builds from April 2019) from TWRP (along with opengapps + addonsu), here's what happens:

The phone reboots

The LOS logo comes up and finishes quickly

The phone prompts for my password to decrypt itself, which I enter successfully.

LOS starts booting (curve with moving/scaling circle) and stays there for several minutes until it goes into recovery.

I didn't have this kind of issue on LOS 15.1 (Latest was 20190310).

Any ideas?

/device lithium

/date 2019-03-10

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] wpscully:
I haven't seen an over-the-air update for the unlocked S9 G960U1 XAA phone since February 18 2019. I have the January 2019 security patch. Has HTC or Huawei taken over responsibility for the security patching for Samsung? ;)

My carrier happens to be T-Mobile. But the phone was purchased from Samsung and I'm certain I never specified anything about T-Mobile during the purchase process. I see on SamMobile that the XAA CSC has patches through late April 2019. I see that the TMB CSC has no patches beyond February 2019. I have a huge amount of data (music) downloaded onto the phone and would prefer not to wipe it. Any ideas on how best to get the XAA OTA pushed? Or am I destine to sideload the XAA materials from someone like SamMobile?

Thanks in advance for any helpful advice.

I've got Google Fi sending me a new SIM card. Perhaps when I swap SIMs the "TMB" in the CSC will change/disappear. And then maybe the OTA will work.

Pick your favorite. If other, please post it.
[Wing, P4350 General] Gramon:
I've just recently gotten into ROMs (about a month now) and the first one I loaded was Asergs. I have not tried any of the others but I do plan to at some point.
[Wing, P4350 General] papamopps:
wow you put mine onto the list...

but i hope nobody will vote..

that was discussed many, many, many times before and you cannot know!

EVERY rom fits to one person!

if you like clean ones, or black ones, or biggy, or, or, or!!!

every rom ahs pro and cons!

test them for your own and don´t ask other to decide for you!!
[Wing, P4350 General] csmall:
That's exactly why I put the POLL up though. It's so common for everyone to just start asking whats the best ROM. And while I agree with you that they are all somewhat different and one may fit someone better than the next, alot of people would like to see what is making most people happy. Chances are if X amount of people are using one ROM and swear by it that they will like it as well. And maybe not, but it gives people a baseline of what the crowd is pleased with.
[Wing, P4350 General] wearefree:
You may want to break up a little further. Each rom builder has many different taste of roms, like full, lite and micro etc. I used Touch IT 2.0 full, Open Touch V3 lite and now I'm on Open Touch V4 lite black, those are all great roms, and I'm sure just within open touch people would have a preference for different flavors.
[Wing, P4350 General] papamopps:
ok go on with the masses.....!!!

only because most people like a rom it must not be good... hehe.

but if you look deeper into the world of Herlad/wing you will see the difference ;)

[Wing, P4350 General] pauldeleeuw:
ROM or not to ROM

For me, and many users, the interest in ROM change was to increase available RAM via Pagepool modification. Now that can be accomplished without changing factory ROM, should this not be a choice? It seems the safest route.
[Wing, P4350 General] ivanmmj:
Even with a great pagepool, it takes quite a few tweaks to get the RAM in a stock ROM to the level that a custom ROM would get. Even then, there are so many files in the windows folder that it causes a considerable slow down to the machine. This SHOULD be a choice, but I don't think it's the best. Depending on your device, though, it MIGHT be the safest route. (Actually, depending on your SPL.)

How much free RAM do you get on the stock ROM?
