Galaxy A20 Pie downgrade to Oreo - Samsung Galaxy A20 Questions & Answers

Hi all, I'm finally back on android after making the mistake of switching to iPhone temporarily. I have a Galaxy A20 (SM-A205U) on Pie OneUI on Boost Mobile service. I was hoping to use my custom fonts again, before I used ThemeGalaxy to apply the fonts but that doesn't seem to work anymore. I downloaded GxFonts also and can't seem to get that to work either. Is it possible to use custom fonts on Pie or should I try and downgrade to Oreo? I've never downgraded software before,
so can anyone recommend a website for a novice Thanks for any advice/ tips

Sorry to inform you that the A205U is the only A20 that cannot be changed in terms of OS.
Better to find some custom fonts.

You could try rooting your phone using Magisk and install a module called -> Font changer. This should solve your problem.

Phoenix ROM Samsung galaxy s7 edge little issues

Phoenix ROM is my favourite go to ROM for my s7. I don't want to switch a rom however, there is no way for me to use volte on it. I have tried *#4636#*#* with no luck. Installed Apps that could do it manually still with no luck. Since I am a novice and cannot reply directly to tamirdas post, can someone please ask him to make an easy volte patch? Or if there's any other way I can do it, that would be nice. Furthermore, the wideselfie on the camera app in version 2 of phoenix doesn't work. Thanks

In my experience, it's often more stable to root the stock firmware and then remove the bloatware (using Titanium Backup or Link2SD). That way you have a rom that's tailored for the device and you don't have issues like the camera not working on custom roms, certain video codecs that aren't supported, ...
Unless there's an official CyanogenMod or LineageOS for the device.

That is what I want, but can't seem to get it done. The newest Magisk is not working. Older versions aren't. Anyone got it done? Just need root to get storage rights for external SD for Syncthing..
ok, got root working now. used the "old" way, supersu, for an old ROM..

Is Mirror link working in any custom ROM?

Hi, anyone knows if there is any rom with Mirror link working?
Mirror link is not screen Mirror to the TV. It is the connection to the car MP5 with the USB and you can manage your phone with the car touch screen.
If It doesn't work now but anyone knows if nearly It will be implemented in any rom please say me in which one.
Thanks and regards.
I'm looking into this as well, I've been wanting to install a custom rom such as @Ivan_Meler LOS Rom, but it has pushed my phone to a "Phone is not compatible" reading on the headunit.
Little back story:
I have a Samsung Gal. S7 and a Honda Civic 2015 and I've been able to do Mirrorlink when it was working on a completely stock rom. Only problem was I was trying to mirrorlink the full phone screen and not have to use the Samsung Car mode, Rockscout, etc. I've tried every trick in the book even one which required the phone to be rooted. (AAUnlock and AAMirror) I used SuperSU, whick I should now look into trying Magisk, and see if that makes any difference.
What I've noticed is that once the phone is rooted, even on a stock rom, the Head Unit in my car switches to "Phone is not compatible". Again, I rooted it with SuperSU. I've been able to locate a S7 Stock Rom which I'll go back to and see if I can get that working again. Once that's established, I'll try with Magisk, and see if there's any difference.
So far with every rom I've tried including LOS (most Roms are based from LOS), the phone hasnt worked in mirrorlink. I'm hoping that @Ivan_Meler makes an update that allows it, as it seems his is the only ROM that gets updated on a frequent basis. I'm hoping that this (along with other issues) gets resolved on the Rom and this can become my daily driver.
Hello
Did you manage to make work your S7 mirrorlink with a rooted rom ?
Thanks

If you want to use these old roms, make sure you change the thermals. I highly recommend Jabashque 6, the links are on my thermals thread.
As good as that version of Omni is, Darkobas himself said that longterm use will kill dramatically hurt longterm battery life.
You could use the compatible Blackscreen with the Jabashque thermals and your experience will be perfect.
BY the way, Oreo and Pie Roms are awesome. If you try Pie tryout Lineage 16 its awesome!
Thanks
i want at least oreo, i tried Omni but Mirrorscreen does not work

Best Android 9.0 "ROM" on GalaxyS7 Edge/G935F

Hi guys, I am the owner of a Galaxy S7Edge G935F.
At the moment, I installed Android 8.0, I wanted to switch to 9.0.
The phone I use for work, I saw that there are many versions of ROM around, I would like to have a suggestion on a stable version (already extensively tested) and that does not create strange problems for me.
Do you have advice?
Thanks !

Samsung A20e help needed on debloat/LineageOS

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.
