Hey thanks the for reply. I actually tried Lineage OS - using the same tutorial you linked. It worked beautifully, was fast and responsive, but the same problem persisted - when I turn off the screen, it freezes and won’t wake up. Could it be a hardware issue causing this fault?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TopNotch729:
If it only worked on the stock image, then I think it's just the ROM.. Your best bet would be to look for something else because I'm pretty sure it's just lineageOS causing the issue.

I've developed a video player app that simultaneously plays up to 4 videos (up to 9 on Pad) in infinite loop within the app.

You can enjoy multiple videos simultaneously while walking on the treadmill at the gym.

The app itself doesn't contain any videos. You can watch videos by copying them into the app's folder on your device (in the Downloads folder for Android phones, or using the Files app for iPhones).

Key Features:

Infinite loop playback

AB repeat for favorite segments

Replay last watched videos

Videos are muted by default when loaded

Automatic pause when switching to background mode

Play/pause all videos at once

Play/pause individual videos

* Streaming functionality is not yet supported.

Based on G4stavoM1ster guide.

You need:

A functional PC (tutorial for Windows)

USB cable

Unlocked Bootloader

TWRP

7-Zip ZSTD (this specific version)

ADB & Fastboot & its drivers

GSI you want to flash on your device

Here's my approach to this task. If you have a better method, please share it with everyone.

Download GSI rom (list below)

Extract using 7-Zip-Zstandard (usually C:\Program Files)

Boot into TWRP.

Wipe > Format Data > yes > Back > Back > Advanced Wipe > Select: Dalvik / ART Cache, Cache, Data >Swipe to Wipe > Home icon > Reboot > Recovery

Wait until TWRP appears sometimes it freezeseze (just wait).

Open cmd-here.exe in ADB folder, write "adb push patchtogsi /sdcard" replace "patchtogsi", wait until complete. Example "adb push LeOS-U-VNDK-arm64_bvN.img /sdcard".

In TWRP > Install > Install Image > Select gsi file >Slide and click System Image > Swipe to confirm flash.

Sometimes GSI system is bigger than System (I don't know how to fix it), try another rom.

Click home icon > Wipe > Format Data > yes >Back > Back > Advanced Wipe > Select: Dalvik / ART Cache, Cache, Data >Swipe to Wipe > Home icon > Reboot > System.

Cross your fingers. Most roms don't work.

Most magisk modules work in KSU modules manager as is without any modifications on your part. You may need Zygisk Next for some other ones to work tho. Check out the requirements of the module you're interested in installing.

[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] oslavq:
If you want to install a custom ROM on your Samsung Galaxy A53, but could not find much information online, you are not alone. This was the case for me, but now when i understood (almost) every in and out of installing custom ROM, i decided to put together a detailed guide that will walk you from A to Z and provide links to resources i found helpful

I will also include post-installation steps and how to revert changes

This guide will only work on Samsung Galaxy A53 (SM-A536E/SM-A536B)

DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible for any action you take while following this guide and the consequences you face after them which may include bricked device. Your warranty will be voided. Educational purposes only, do at your own risk

Prerequisites:

Phone itself

Laptop or a PC (Any OS)

USB Cable to connect your phone with Laptop or PC (avoid using damaged cables)

Internet connection

Basic knowledge about how computers work

Common Questions​

Q: How safe is it?

A: In Samsung phones, if you are able to get into download mode (bootloader), your phone is not bricked. In this tutorial we are not modifying the bootloader in any way (except if we want to revert changes), you should be fine if you follow the guide, but there is always a risk that something might go wrong

Known issues​

I will update this list and provide fixes if me or someone else finds them. Luckily there is a custom kernel that fixes 99% of the problems, this guide includes installation of a custom kernel.

High CPU and Battery usage after flashing ExynosUnbound, but the phone is almost unusable without it (I posted this issue)

Always on display running on 120Hz and draining battery

The steps​

For ease of navigation, i сategorized the tutorial into steps. You should not skip any step and follow them one after another, do NOT continue if something goes wrong, instead, go to "Something went wrong" section

I followed the instructions in step 3, but after formatting my data and rebooting, I get back to OneUI (new phone setup UI?).

Did I do something wrong or should I do something different?

edit: Somehow everything is back to normal, thanks for providing this guide!
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] oslavq:
Oh, this might be an issue in the guide. I will add a warning not to reboot after formatting data. Thanks for providing information
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] ushinnary:
Hello, thanks a lot for your guide. I followed it step by step and installed Project Elixir with success. I think that an issue with the battery is not the kernel used by this ROM's implementation of Always ON display.

I AM NOT SURE, but I think that screen still use 120hz and that's why battery loses 1% each 10 mins, so I just disabled it.
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] dario.alispahic:
Hello, thanks for this guide. To be honest, I came searching for solution that is known for A53 which has replaced screen.

The thing that happens is, if you had your screen replaced, after updating to OneUI 6, your touchscreen firmware will be lost and screen will stop working (check your touchscreen firmware by running code *#2663# in OneUI). Solution is, go back to OneUI 5.

Update has stopped the touch screen from working on 3 separate A53's

I have had 3 Samsung A53's install updates in the last 5 days and after the updates all 3 touch screens on the phones have then not worked at all!!! Cannot turn the phone on or off, cannot go to settings, nothing at all. How does this happen and how can it be fixed? So far, not impressed with...

eu.community.samsung.com

But if you updated your system, binaries are also updated, ver 9 on my phone currently. So I was looking if there is a way to revert back to ver 7 so I can flash older Rom.

Does anyone has a clue how to do that?
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] mytja:
Unfortunately binaries cannot be reverted. It's best to send the phone off to Samsung for service. It's really sad that Samsung doesn't fix several issues with the phone, including the new (partially broken) RIL libraries, as well as issues with some people factory resetting the phone.

I can propose another solution – if you have Magisk or any alternative root solution installed, you might revert the libraries, causing the issues. Or maybe try a custom kernel, such as ExynosUnbound, as available on this forum, but I cannot guarantee it'd work, nor that I'd be able to assist you in this manner. Bootloader unlocking (which is required for Magisk) voids warranty, as well as bricks some banking apps.
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] cla1966:
first off all - thx for your great work !

for me seems everythings gonna right.....but then i can't reboot into system, phone boots everytime into recovery.......!?!?

any idea ???
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] oslavq:
If you're in a bootloop or can't boot into system, it means there's an issue with system partition itself. Check if you get any errors during flashing to system partition
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] Akineton Inc.:
cheers man!!!! :)
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] cla1966:
@oslavq send you some pics, hope they are ok

the problem was that I wanted to use 'pbrp' or 'shrp' instead of 'twrp' and that obviously no longer fits !

then i re-flashed the firmware including PIT and now everything runs smoothly (tried 'voltage-OS' and 'evolution-x' and now have 'DerpFest' - as far as I could tell, they were all error-free)

Maybe try magisk?
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] Akineton Inc.:
did :/
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] oslavq:
I had a similar issue when magisk didnt installed properly, i figured out that you Firstly have to flash magisk apk (not zip) through twrp (dont forget to decrypt data partition before flashing by formatting data or entering multidisabler command into the terminal), then install the magisk apk from the system, open it and there will be a pop-up saying that magisk isn't installed properly, follow on screen instructions, if it asks you which method to use, choose patch boot image (recommended), after a few reboots, you will have working magisk

[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] MitzaBobitza:
Question, how do I root my device with Magisk after installing LineageOS? Do I just flash Magisk in TWRP? And do I have to flash the custom kernel (ExynosUbound) again after flashing Magisk?
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] MitzaBobitza:
I have a little problem, I just flashed Magisk using TWRP and now when I'm trying to flash ExynosUnbound again I'm getting "Failed to mount '/data' (Device or resource busy)"

Edit: Booted back into the system and went into the Magisk app, realized Magisk isn't installed anymore. It was installed before I rebooted into recovery to flash the custom kernel again. Weird.

Edit 2:

I reinstalled everything and just flashed the Magisk zip in TWRP afterwards, I gave up on the idea of flashing the custom kernel again after installing Magisk.

I thought I should do that because that's what they say in the installation guide, "If you plan to also install custom kernels, install it after Magisk".

Everything seems to be working fine though, so I hope the kernel is not affected by Magisk.

Still, kinda weird that I can't mount the /data partition anymore after flashing Magisk.

Also, from what I've experienced, I think Magisk uninstalls by itself if you reboot to recovery and then back to system. I'm not sure, but I've had enough for now so I don't wanna try that again, lmao.

You should make a new section in this tutorial that covers the installation of Magisk after installing a custom ROM. It would be nice.
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] mytja:
Don't flash ExynosUnbound after installing Magisk, it erases entire boot section, where kernel and Magisk are located, therefore essentially wiping Magisk. Firstly, flash ExynosUnbound and only then flash Magisk (through .zip inside TWRP or patch the boot image inside Magisk app and flash it through TWRP). Gabriel (the developer of ExynosUnbound) has written about this in notes. The guide about "needing to install custom kernels after Magisk" is either too old or plain wrong.

The /data mounting error is caused due to TWRP for this device not implementing Samsung's FBE (file-based encryption). The /data partition is therefore encrypted and cannot be decrypted in-memory. This can however be mitigated through decryption of the entire partition, as noted in TWRP notes, however this WILL leave your device unencrypted and therefore anybody with physical access to the device would be able to access your data. If you are willing to take such a risk, go ahead.

Magisk and ExynosUnbound installation shouldn't require access to /data in any case, as both should only modify the boot partition. You might need to keep the .zip for Magisk and/or ExynosUnbound (if you're not using the .tar file flashed through Odin) on a USB drive, connected to the phone using USB OTG, or on an SD card (instead of SIM2 slot).
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] MitzaBobitza:
Thanks for the explanations.

One more question, do you think it's possible to use banking apps on a phone with TWRP + LineageOS 21 (td) + ExynosUnbound + Magisk?

I'm asking because I've been intensively trying for the past 2 days to hide all these modifications in order to bypass the root detection of this banking app called BT Pay, but i've had no luck.

Moreover, I can't even hide all the modifications from root detection apps like Momo, so at this point I'm wondering if it's even possible.

I've been thinking about wiping everything and flashing LineageOS without ExynosUnbound because I think that it makes a lot of modifications that are easily detected, but I noticed that you put a big emphasis on the fact that ExynosUnbound fixes a lot of stuff, so I'm wondering if its a viable option.

Today I went back to the stock ROM without using a custom kernel, just TWRP and Magisk, and I'm able to hide the modifications easily (obviously). I would really like to go back to LineageOS though because it's much better, so if you have any suggestions on how I could hide all the modifications (if it's even possible) it would be very much appreciated.

LOOK DOWN FOR THE GOOD POST

Hello, I've got 3 firmware files, attached. There is a possibility of the firmware making matters worse because its unknown originality, so it is your device, try this at your own risk. I don't take responsibility for something broken. The one with "main" at the start is probably the one that will work but there are more just in case. I RECOMMEND TRYING THE FILE WITH "main" THE FIRST! Here's attached instructions (I didn't write them, some Indian guy did, the English isn't the best but I think you'll understand).

there is a bin file in update.zip inside the file u sent

when putting the bin file inside the usb and plugging in, booting up, still stuck at same screen. can u tell me exactly which bin file? and do i just drag and drop the file or do i need to flash it on the usb or somethn

nothing is working, i dont know what to do

There's no firmware directly available, if these don't work, I don't know.
[Android TV General] Zribe:
The firmware it self is correct, just the applying step is not working as just nothing is happening. I know it is correct cause I remembered that it once asked for a update.zip to update (which I did not have) but that was when the user wanted to update.

UPDATE: I got into the Firmware Menu and flashed the software with the help of a technician. I didn't give up on my original mission. I opened the terminal again, gained root access, and deleted the main Chinese software apps again. Then, I deployed an APK file containing the Android TV home app and used ADB to install it. After that, I was able to access Google Play, update Netflix, and watch Suits on my smart TV.
