Would it be possible to install LineageOS on Samsung A53? It isn’t supported, but Samsung A52 is, and they are very similar in the hardware aspect. Even so, it may have compatibility issues (if I get it there in the first place). Could anyone help me? Any info is highly appreciated!

Thanks

    DON’T

    If the developers said don’t use images dedicated to a specific phone on other phones, they know why they said that… It’ll brick your device and it’s REALLY tricky if not impossible to unbrick it… If your phone isn’t supported look for another custom ROM that do support it… If you can’t find any, use Universal Android Debloater, it is designed not to brick phones, and It’ll even tell you what’s safe to uninstall and what’s not…

    Another thing you can do besides using UAD, is to wait… just wait… If LineageOS supported A52 chances are they’ll support A53 once the former stops receiving updates

      (Asking for a friend) The phone has already been mostly debloated (I have done a lot research about android applications and I’m not new to that topic). The problem is that he finds Samsung phones’ software ass and pretty buggy (same for me and that’s why I switched phones). If LineageOS can’t be used, are there any alternatives for A53 (none of the “good” ROMs support it)? Android app support is necessary and it should be well maintained. If you have any suggestions, it would be highly appreciated.
