Android 11 - Samsung Galaxy A20 Questions & Answers

When will A20 get Android 11?

A list was published, I'm not sure how far true it may be but the A20 was listed. It's quiet early thou.

A20 is guaranteed one more major update.
We just don't know when.
If the S20 update goes down in say January, we'd probably get it by April or may

I believe it wasn't until August. However, I've never been a very patient person. So, I am gonna try out the version through here https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/releases. I'm currently running SM-A205WVLU6BTJ2 Infintiy OS Rooted with Magisk without GAPPS. That is working fine, but my ADHD is kicking in and this 8P curfew isn't helping here either. lol

Some people are getting random reboots.
You will need to try different kernels. Minker might work.

Nexus 6 Shamu AOSPA - Paranoid Android

I'm surprised not to see a link in reference to it yet and I'm sure that the paranoid team will make an official thread soon enough but for now this will do to let everyone know that paranoid android is available finally for our device.
Please not that it is still an alpha release so there may be bugs, don't report them in here as this is just to inform users and has nothing to do with the official team.
Grab the ROM file here.....http://get.aospa.co/
File is located under official supported devices....Happy flashing all!!!!
Sweet! But does it auto encrypt?

Yes it seems to be encrypted going by what the comments on G+ say. downloading atm so i can confirm in a bit (download is real slow though)
Also remember PA is no longer pre rotted
yeah, i saw the new on reddit this afternoon and wonder why there's no thread here.
did most of us forgot PA already?

I may be blind, but I'm not seeing the Nexus 6 under official devices.
**UPDATE** Yes, I'm blind, please disregard.
Was wondering where the thread was to this. Saw it on G+ this morning and downloaded but haven't flashed yet. Glad to see PA is an option for N6 users. I'm sure we will see some nice features with this ROM as it develops. Maybe we will get lock screen customization back sooner than we think.

It's an Alpha. PA will need to redo all of their old features to work and follow the Lollipop look so it'll take a while.

I'll admit they launched way after Cyan and Cyan have more stable features but the PA guys always like to make sure things work before they release it since they have no nighties. I was expecting more from the first release but ah well they'll get there eventually. I'm still on stock atm anyway Cyan has a stutter problem with the notification/toggle swipe and animations that annoyed me too much.

Yeah it's running good for sure!
Has anyone tried an unencrypted kernel yet? If so, did you flash it immediately after the rom to stay unencrypted?

Any CYANOGENMOD Development for SM-T350? I can be a tester.

Hi everyone,
Just creating this thread to see if there is any developer who might want to port/ develop cyanogenmod to the SM-T350.
Currently Evervolv for our tablet is a big step forward, but development for it seems slow. I'm not saying anything bad about the developer, on the contrary, is a big step forward.
Anyone interested on developing some sort of Cyanogenmod or AOSP rom for our tablet, I'm more than willing to become a tester.
Good day to all.

I would be willing to test for you too. Just let me know. I would actually like to learn how to get a device that is not currently supported onto a build like this. Porting?.. If so, What device do you use as the port device?

I'm not really sure on how to port or compile, but I'm going to be searching some other websites (forums) and ask some people from LineageOS on how to port or compile a rom. And sure, you can be an alpha tester after I try it out myself because I don't want devices to be bricked.

I completely understand. Let me know if I can help. I am kind of new at building but am trying to learn as much as I can. I am set up for building AOSP right now but would be willing to look into setting up for Lineage building. If I hear anything, or come across anything that may help your project I will be sure to let you know as well.

If you have a CM build for the T350 would you mind sharing it? Also did it die due to CM or unrelated?
I've been tossing around what I want to develop on my T350. I would like to use it to learn how to build android from source and install a custom oem android. I'd also like to customize the stock 3E recovery, or fork CWM. A Custom Recovery or modified TWRP is what I'd like to do.
With Android 7.1.1 and 8.0 out now, maybe I'd like to get into a custom intertwined boot.img and recovery.img. Trying to decide how best to setup the dev box.

yes these test builds will be for j7ltespr. i've released a new TWRP with all bugs fixed, but I need to get the stock ROM booting on the kernel before making test builds.
I love you in a technological way dude. Since I still have that phone and have my old phone (LG Volt) back. I am more than happy to test and give results

If there are any custom Oreo ROMs for our T-810, they are a very well kept secret.
the lead developer @T_I had some life stuff come up, and hasn't had a chance to look at bringing up the 810 to Oreo yet. Wish I knew enough to figure out how to help out with it.

anks, thank you for the information.
It just baffled me as to why there were no O roms at all.
I have 8.1 running on a Nexus 7 2013 and a Nexus 6 and those devices are ancient.

Indeed, I'm battling with a concussion, very limiting my screen time. Also, to be honest, @RaymanFX is the lead developer for the 2015 Tab S2 models, I just managed to adapt his code for the T810 (not to difficult) and the T710/5 (bigger challenge, still needs a lot of work).
My prio at this point is to get the T710/5 functioning before putting time in, unless RaymanFX wants to start work on Oreo for the T815, then I can test the other devices. (alas, no real work for a while, just barely managing to get 4h of work in a day)

hi, not to open a new thread:
but official there is also Nougat 7.1 for the S2 2015 version.
Can i flash this and root it per superSu?
Is there any custom kernal avialble?
or better an "original" Rom just moded?
thanks for answers in advance
adddy2
The answer is quite easy.
CustomROMs would be easier to create if there'd be an official Oreo ROM from Samsung. The SM-T810 is still on Nougat (I got a "new" update a couple of days ago, which only "updated" the security patch level...).
Since Samsung released the S3 Tablet, there won't be any effort spend into developing an official Oreo Rom in this "older" Tablet, imo. The SM-T810 has an Exynos 5433 CPU (and not a Qualcomm), which means we're facing closed-source and therefore smooth and fully working CustomROMs won't be very likely.
The question is: Why do you want a custom ROM at all?
The stock Nougat ROM can be debloated (e. g. via Neked Maker), rooted, Xposed can be installed.
All is working fine, and you can customize it very much.
What feature are you looking for in a custom ROM which isn't possible with stock ROM??

There's no stock Oreo rom. For me, it's not that I want a custom rom, it's more that I want an Oreo rom.
Actually possessor of a T715 Tab S2. I saw someone managed to build an Oreo rom for T710, if the rom will come also for the sim variant it will be really great! We have to forget about samsung spending time for "old" devices....Instead thanks all the developers teying to get the best out of this tab and updating it.
P.s give me a working fingerprint and i'll give you mi life lol

A Google Phone would be better for modding. Or any other big flagship with open source kernel. Sadly OnePlus is really bad now. I bought a 10 Pro for a Family Member. Its ColorOS now and does not support "real root" anymore.
I really hope Nothing will be more open for modding in the feature so far its a great device.

If you want directly custom rom, don't asking for custom rom for a device out there 2 months ago.
For sure Nothing Phone 1 will have a lot of custom rom in the future, first release/base is the rule for that.
It's better to be patient and have a good custom rom instead a rom incomplete or unstable.
Above all, installation/recovery is missing for the moment (only cuctom rom can be instalable by sideload)
and a lot of people are not ready to install a custom rom by this way, without a custom recovery.
