I have been curious about degoogled android operating system options but my phone is galaxy a54. Through the options I could find they do not mention any support for this model. Any advice on this?

    Things may have changed but I remember looking 6 years ago for alternatives and on Samsung phones they didn’t work. Their Knox security implementation really busted the ROM community on Samsung phones.

    I’d recommend looking at alternative OS sites and checking their supported devices lists and see what brand seems best supported. I remember One plus worked well in the past. Not sure about current phones.

      This. Around the same timeframe.

      I did manage to unlock the bootloader and install something, and that broke Knox. Who cares, right?

      Oh, but when I put the stock firmware back, Knox was STILL broken, because Samsung, so I’d never be able to resell it or even trade it in without complications. Because Samsung.
