Samsung A02s runs on 32-bit firmware.

But, it also supports 64-bit firmware, which means you can install almost any GSI Custom ROM since it supports treble.

Haven't tried installing one yet but will test and see if I can do it.

Hi! Sadly, there's no custom rom built specifically for A02s but it is compatible with arm32_binder64 GSIs with A/B Partition Style. I successfully installed a TrebleDroid version of Android 13, here's the proof.

Wow! I was going to test it but thank god I found someone who already did!

I will make a thread regarding installing GSI roms on A02s once I try it myself so that I can help other do it.

Have you been able to install Gapps on it? I got my twrp from this and got my gApps from NikGapps since the original one doesn't have Gapps for Android 13.

But when flashing it, I got an 'insufficient space' error. When doing some research, I found out that the /data partition can be resized to give space to /system and /product for it to be able to install.

But there doesn't seems to be an option to resize it. Tried with resize2fs but got an error saying that the block specified doesn't exist.

Sadly nope, installing gapp on an Android 13 GSIs on this device is pretty hard. Tried numerous flavors but to no avail. LiteGApps is kinda working for me but the Play Store only shows No Internet Access, it can be substitute with Aurora Store tho (but it would be nice if it works). Other than Play Store, everything seems to work fine.

Installing GSIs with gapps preinstalled has Google app always crashing (one GSI I used shows that its using a arm64 build of Google app which will obviously crash on our a64 devices). I guess things would be much better if a custom rom or an arm64 TWRP and kernel was built specifically for this device.

The kinda stable GSI I found so far in this device was LineageOS 19.1 a64 bgN. Google apps works flawlessly but universalsafetynetfix was causing the system to crash so F.

WellI I think the other alternative we can use is microG. I'll see if this works.

Update: I found a LineageOS 19.1 GSI with Google that is stable, its lineage-19.1-20230112-UNOFFICIAL-a64_bgN-vndklite.

Yeah I was also having this issue. I was wondering what was causing the crash lol.

It seems that no SafetyNet fixing method is working. I even tried the built-in option to spoof the device properties for safetynet to work in TrebleDroid Lineage OS 20 but this also made the device crash.

Have you tried the one with normal vndk aka lineage-19.1-20230112-UNOFFICIAL-a64_bgN.img.xz?

Edit : Tried it and it worked without any issue!

Yup it works fine but I do need the system to be R/W so I choose the vndklite but vndk variants should also work perfectly fine

 

[Nicko13]

There's no ROMs for it. Only GSIs can be used for now.

Works fine for me. Did you flash the right image?

Found a fix for the No internet access issue. All you have to do is go into the app's info in Settings and go to Mobile data and WiFi and give it internet access.

The Gapps Integration I'm using is BitsGapps which supports arm devices and Android 13. I installed it through Magisk. But it can also be flashed through TWRP.

But LiteGapps is also good.

A fix for the no space issue when trying to flash Gapps is flashing a GSI Image that's 1GB or 500MB (Depends on how much free space you want) larger than the image through fastboot and then flashing the Lineage OS image through TWRP.

TWRP doesn't resize partitions when flashing an image (which leads to some free space remaining) but fastboot does. This gave me the idea to do this and it worked.

Now I have a working Android 13 GSI with Gapps working flawlessly!
