[General Topics] CapWinder:
After the preconditioning, it charged up normally and I've been using it for weeks with no problem at all. Of course the battery looked perfectly normal with no puffing or swelling at all. I would agree that if your battery shows any sign of puffing up you should get rid of it immediately. I've gotten rid of batteries in the past that had this problem.
[General Topics] CapWinder:
Of course it is. On all lithium ion batteries not just cell phones. I'm able to put enough current through the contacts on the connector to bring the voltage up to the point where the charging circuit takes over.
[General Topics] blackhawk:
It wasn't internally shutdown then. It may lack this safeguard. Old Li's aren't worth playing with except to maybe reconstruct a hard to get pack with new cells.
[General Topics] CapWinder:
Your conclusion is certainly reasonable, so let me give you a little bit more detail. Apparently the charging circuit did allow me to send a small amount of current to the battery but then after perhaps 6 or 7 minutes it would shut down the current entirely. The battery voltage would have increased a very small but measurable amount. At this point I removed all the voltage from the connector and after a minute or so I would reapply it. Once again a small amount of current was allowed through the charging circuit and was cut off after another 6 or 7 minutes. So after a few iterations of this I was able to reach about 3.2 volts and the charging circuit did kick in when reattached to the device. My research indicates that a voltage of 2.7 to 2.8 is the point where chemistry changes to the battery will occur. Personally I would not try this technique with a battery that low. My batteries have never gone below 3 volts. I think you're caution is well advised and I would recommend to anybody to do their own research before trying this technique.

Hi, I have the 4g snapdragon S20 FE(europe). There's no OEM Unlock option in the settings. I tried the date trick, changing csc, flashing older firmwares. DM Reports OEM LOCK ON(L).

Install Instructions

Make sure you are on OneUI 5 firmware (J bootloader) before flashing this ROM, otherwise the installation might fail or not boot!

Make sure your device's bootloader is unlocked.​

If not done before, flash blank VBMeta ( x1s | x1slte | y2s ) with Odin in the AP slot.​

If desired, use TWRP/OrangeFox to backup all your necessary partitions (super, boot, data, EFS, Sec_EFS) before flashing this in case something goes wrong.​

Download the PE build and PE recovery (the recovery can be found at the same link as the ROM).​

Compress the "recovery.img" file into .tar format. Then, flash it using the AP slot in Odin.​

In the recovery, flash the PE zip using the "Apply update" button.​

Format data/Factory reset in PE recovery; otherwise, you may end up in a bootloop if coming from the stock ROM.​

Wipe the cache partition.​

Reboot.​

Does it work on s20+

120hz is working?
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] S10hype_ksawo:
Thanks for create this rom ( the 120hz is working ) the rom is very very good
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] franklin-albuquerque:
For now, no; because this ROM was compiled exclusively for the Galaxy S20 (4G Exynos). However, I can try to adapt it for the Galaxy S20+ — which wouldn't be very complicated, but I don't have access to an S20+ to conduct the tests.

[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] onlineg:
Hello,

My Phone : Samsung Galaxy S20 LTE (SM-G980F) (Checked in stock rom, and only 8 GB RAM installed)

i followed the trwp install instructions from this post with the latest trwp version:

[RECOVERY][OFFICIAL][3.6.1-x] TWRP for Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Exynos

Official TWRP 3.6.1-* For Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Only for exynos variants - G980F / G981B / G985F / G986B / G988B (Europe - Global, Single/Dual-SIM) Disclaimer I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or...

xdaforums.com

Then i followed the instructions from this thread. But i could not install the x1slte. The trwp said that i have a x1s. I than tried to install that. It does work (really good), but the fingerprint sensor can not be configured.

Have i missed something? I have used the x1slite vbmeta

I'm glad you liked it!
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] franklin-albuquerque:
Use PE recovery to install the ROM.
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] temo1221:
Besides any idea of installing magisk? I wanted to use google play, magisk 24.2 not flashing from recovery.
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] franklin-albuquerque:
You could change the Magisk file extension from .apk to .zip. After that, copy the file to a USB flash drive and install it through the recovery.

1. Reboot into PE recovery.

2. Apply update > Choose from PENDRIVE_NAME > MAGISK_FILE.zip

(I think it's also possible to do this using a microSD card, but I don't have one to test.)
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] temo1221:
I use twrp, I could not find PE recovery.Where it is? using twrp i tried to flash older version of magisk and it flashes but then I get bootloop, and then I need to reflash pixel experience rom to get ride bootloop.
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] franklin-albuquerque:
I always share the build along with its respective recovery:

[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] franklin-albuquerque:
On Windows, utilize 7-zip to compress the recovery into a .tar file. Next, open Odin and flash it using the AP option.

On Linux, install Heimdall. Then, open the terminal and type:

is there any way to install or port original s20+ samsung camera app to this rom?

or does anyone know what best ported gcam app or any camera app is work best for s20+ that support 60fps full HD video recording?

I like this rom really

but I really need 60fps full HD video recording tho :(
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] onlineg:
Thank you! Now i have the correct ROM installed.

The fingerprint error came back and I couldn't store any fingerprints because an error always appeared telling me to try again later, but I then discovered that it was due to the screen protector. This didn't cause any problems under the stock ROM, I guess it's a bit more sensitive now.

Now everything works fine! Good job, the ROM runs great!

Can I simply install newer versions of the ROM over the existing system using recovery without losing data?
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] temo1221:
I had same dillema. Really like samsung camera app and image processing algorythm. but seems like no way to install it on aosp based roms. gcam versions i have tried also not been working, till i found zgcam. Bellow is working zgcam apk, i have tried many versions but only this one works.

88.12 MB file on MEGA

mega.nz

it brings back portrait mode and some nice features not avialiable in pixel experience camera app. ultra wide angle camera does not work however it works on PE camera app, so not great deal.

As for video i did not check features, however you can also try opencamera from google play store.

Edit: I confirm. 4k, 60fps video working.
[Galaxy EXYNOS S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] temo1221:
Thank you for your help. I have managed to install pe recovery using twrp image install option and then flashed rom, magisk, play integrity fix mod and managed to use google wallet which is a big deal. Rom is running very smooth and is very nice looking especially when i have installed another nice looking laucher from play store.

i have also installed zgcam apk which i have shared above and camera has far more options. i wish you have ported it in the next versions of pe and fix 0.5 ultrawide camera not showing up if possible (Just i kind feedback).

Battery life is not better then stock rom, at least on 4g internet, they are almost on par. i did not test on wifi as folks above said that on wifi it's better then stock.

Overal I am very happt with rom. Big thanks to you!

So, I installed it on my S20 Ultra 5g but since I'm a privacy masochist, I went through removing Play services and installing MicroG with Magisk. Here is what I did:

A note before starting: I'm not sure all the part of the following procedures are essentials or are going to work on your device.

Wipe Data

Factory reset (davilk/cache)

Reboot to recovery (in my case TWRP) and flash the ROM

Then I flashed Magisk 27

Wipe cache/davilk

reboot

Quickly go through the first setup

install magisk APK -> it asks for reboot after installation, don't do it yet, go to install-> Direct install (recommended) -> reboot

(I tried to flash through the suggested flash method when you open the app, but did not work)

Then install through Magisk, Zygisk and then LSPosed

Install App Manager and grant root -> Uninstall the following:

com.android.vending

com.android.gms

Run Universal Android Debloater on your PC and run "recommended"

Reboot

**********************************************************************************************************************

The following are to pass system spoof signature but for me only worked once (and

I did not manage to make it work again

so IDK)

install fakeappstore.apk (it's a LSPosed module that you can get directly from the LSPosed app)

Enable fakeappstore module for System in LSposed when prompted

Install Smalipatcher fix generated from here https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-degoogle-any-device-and-install-microg.4058743/

Reboot

**********************************************************************************************************************

Flash MicroG from recovery (in my case I choose the "no-goolag" version, putting "system-" in the name before the file: Example: system-MinMicroG-NoGoolag-2.12.0-20230729205908.zip

Open MigroG and check the self checks that you need

If location doesn't work, check below:

**********************************************************************************************************************

MICRO G fix for background location:

The fix is to install microG not just as a priv-app, but also as a user-app, i. e. an update.

To do so, I went to /data/misc_de/0/apexdata/com.android.permission/runtime-permissions.xml And i've deleted the file runtime-permissions.xml (I don't know if this step is usefull)

Do not open microg, delete cache and data for the app microg.

Still don't open microg, go to /system/microGGMSCore, and open the APK and install it as update (this will install the app as user-app as well)

Reboot

After that open MicroG and the location check should be fixed. Note: the first time it took HOURS to have the GPS working even tho all the checks were passed, I was indoor but I never had an issue to connect to GPS before. Anyway, after 2 hours I could connect to gps normally.

Second time I did the whole procedure above, it took just some minutes but I had to go outside to get direct GPS signal

KEEP IN MIND THAT SIGNATURE SPOOFING DOENS'T CURRENTLY WORK FOR ME
