Hello,
I have had a search and cannot find a solution to this, so I am asking the question here.
I am running Lineage OS 14.1 (latest nightly) on my S4 (jfltexx).
I have pulled the Official Samsung Email and Calendar apps from the S4 (Lollipop) and S7 Stock Firmware (Nougat) and tried to install - but I get the error 'This app isn't compatible with your phone.' I have also downloaded this from apkmirror and get the same result. I like the functionality of these apps and would like to continue using them over the Lineage OS Stock AOSP or any other 3rd part apps.
So is this supposed to work?, if not is it possible to spoof the S4 so that it appeared to be an S7 in Google Play and Samsung Store, so that official compatible apps could be downloaded and installed?
Thx,
YYo
Samsung apps probably require a Samsung kernel and Samsung framework to function.

unfortunately not, and i don't know why. i mean, the device has a snapdragon 410 which is developer-friendly so this isn't a problem, maybe it is because of the lack of developers using this tablet.
Is it possible to port other Galaxy Tab A variant custom rom to SM-T550?
Lol i need the kernel so i can try ubuntu touch on 550
UPDATE on Lineage OS for SM-T550
I found a custom rom for the sm-t550 running Lineage OS with Nougat 7.1.2. I installed it on my tablet and it ran pretty smoothly. I had an issue with google play services crashing though. Here's the process of how I did it.
First I downloaded the zip file by visiting Android Biits website and enter SM-T550 in the search. Should be the first link
Then I copied the zip file to the sd card of my sm-t550
Boot to recovery and do a backup (strongly advise)
Now do a factory reset/wipe data
Install the zip from sd card
Install Gapps for Nougat 7.1.2
Reboot the device and proceed with the setup and enjoy!
If anyone can solve the google play services crashing please let me know because I like this rom and would like keep it.
SM-T550 with Lineage OS 14.1
I have this ROM installed, but there's no audio through the devices speakers. The Play Store doesn't crash for me. I flashed open Gapps pico version. And I have Magisk running with Xposed framework installed. I have to use bluetooth headphones for sound though. I don't really mind having no sound, but if there's a fix, that would be ideal. This is by far the best ROM I have installed on this device thus far. Completely debloated and runs smoothly. I left a message on androidbiits about the sound issue. Hopefully deadman from github that created the ROM can do an update.
Hi,
I'm using the international Exynos S8 with stock ROM, not rooted yet.
Can I use microG with the stock ROM, assuming I root my phone?
Or can I only use it with a custom ROM?
I want to get rid of Google without losing camera optimizations and Samsung software
Hi
Did you were able to install microG and remove GAPps maintaining the original Samsung software?
Hi all,
I've been trying to debloat my Samsung A20e. Been running around in circles because I did too good a job...
From the start:
Tried installing custom CSI/ROM's without success. The 20e is apparently quite different then then 20. The tried Lineage OS18.1 (Android 11). This works with one issue: I'm unable to install NikGapps (error: 1) so some programs don't work well (missing WEBview). Tried to install WEBview but missing trichromelibrary. Installed trichromelibrary... Webview still missing trichromelibrary.
So... tried to debloat stock ROM with basically the same problem. With the difference that I can install OpenGapps (android 10), bu still have the webview/trichromelibrary issue. So I debloated too much apparently. Using sevreal debloat lists for Samsung devices.
So the question is: What com.xxxxx app has the WEBview and/or trichromelibrary in it? or any smart suggestion on how to get a debloated Samsung A20e working would be nice.
Thank you in advanced for your suggestions.

I have an old rusty Galaxy S4 SGH I337m with android pi ROM, but my bank app was recently updated and I got the typical "Altered device" note
I rollbacked to optimized lineageOS ROM with android 6.0, managed to fix that with magisk modules and magisk hide, sadly the ROM was too slow, crashed several apps and removed my launcher icons from apps installed from micro SD cards everytime I reboot the phone.
Now I'm using the optimized lineageOS 17.1 v9, besides I followed all the instructions to hide the magisk app, modules and such from my bank app, it stills shows "Altered device" note.
Whats the best ROM to use bank apps from 6.0 and above since 5.0 is no longer compatible with the app?
Thanks in advance .

Check my S4 Unified Collection & Guides thread. You can find the Recommended ROMs there.
For banks and stuff, all custom ROMs suffer from that, Google change from time to time the SafetyNet. Some ROMs have inbuild fix some others not.
Check the Universal SafetyNetFix by kdrag0n at Magisk Root section.
I moved to the custom ROM LineageOS 19.1 (Android 12) and so far I really like it.
But what I miss from the ASOP are the Samsung Gallery and the Samsung Camera. They worked well for me and I currently evaluate alternatives.
But what I also tried, installing this apps from the APKs I backuped. But this doesn't work. The Samsung Galaxy Store says that f.e. the Gallery app isn't compatible.
Is it even possible?
