Jemand Erfahrung mit #eOS Flash auf einem #Samsung A52s 5G?
Mir scheint die Doku veraltet und ich scheitere schon beim finden der vbmeta.img Datei, da es sie nicht mehr zu geben scheint. Zudem wird eine Installation mit #Odin vorgeschlagen. Die Samsung Software heißt meines Wissens aber mittlerweile Heimdall. Funktioniert der Flash damit dennoch?

Dachte ich frag mal nach Hilfe, bevor ich das Smartphone zum Briefbeschwerer mache.

Wir erinnern uns an eine Website, mit der es möglich war, #Smartphone-Modelle auszuwählen, um dann zu sehen, welche #Android-#CustomROM​s hierfür verfügbar sind. Leider war die Suche danach bisher erfolglos. Vielleicht kann uns ja jemand aus dem Fediverse weiterhelfen. 🤞

Update: XDA und customrombay.org/ waren's nicht, wobei v. a. Letzteres gut aussieht.

Update 2: handy-helfer.de war's! Danke @berlin! Nächstes Mal am besten erst intern fragen. 😄

Bypassing Banking App Keyboard Restrictions on Custom ROMs

Your bank’s app forces Gboard, claiming other keyboards are a security risk. On a custom ROM, you can bypass this using:

Magisk + Shamiko to hide the keyboard from detection.

Xposed + AppOps to block access to input method settings.

Work Profile (Shelter) to isolate the banking app.

This way, you can use your preferred keyboard without issues.
