What's the best way to make my A12 as private as possible without losing Samsung and Google features? I want to have most of the features from my Samsung Galaxy Watch4 and Google apps without any spyware.

And also, is it possible to install apps such as Netflix and ASB Mobile Banking on a rooted Samsung phone?

Thanks in advance!

There is no such thing as useing google for privacy...
Banking apps can be used, use magisk hide if they detect root.

But I thought using MicroG like in CalyxOS, you can have better privacy than Samsung or Google stock firmware, while still being able to use Google apps:

Thanks for telling me about Magisk Hide though!

Ofcourse it's better then the stock fimware but google still has it's own services that have telemetry, etc.

brick or screen is black?
I had some issues with android 10 too. It is possible that you have just a black screen but everything else works, try blindly booting in to download mode and flashing new fimware.

Hello everyone. I need some help in rooting my Galaxy A12. I have searched many forums for a guide to root and install Twrp. I have found guides dealing with many other models of my device. Not sure if I need to use one of those. Don't want to brick it at all. My device is a Straight Talk Galaxy A12 Sm-S127DL. Unlocking bootloader is not a issue. Just need root guide if possible. Thanks.

I've seen that SM-A125F/SDN may have problems and that some of the stuff is made for Exynos processors.
My phone has a MediaTek processor, will TWRP and GSIs still work? And how safe is flashing on this model?

Hi there people this is honestly my first time posting to here but I utilize the forums to help me out a lot of the time I am curious about a Sm-a125u that I have been trying to unlock for a week now usually it comes pretty easy but for some reason when. I go to do certain things like turn off install unknown apps it's not letting me even go into the setting I'm wondering if there has been some new security features or something that they have added that's preventing me from using tools like that like I can't access apps inside settings or get developer apps like tapping the build however many times. I used Sam aio and everything connects properly at least that I know of idk I guess if you know what I mean I could use an idea to help me kinda gather ideas cause literally I been trying to get through it for a week or so. Thanks

I had the same issue. I managed to fix it by clean flashing the last working firmware. It works now, but it's not rooted, unfortunately. If anyone knows how to root the Galaxy A12 without this problem, please let me know.

 

[lil_kyrick]

Can you please upload a video with a demonstration of the Galaxy A12 on custom firmware. I just have never seen a device on the XDA branch and on the Internet that someone showed a successfully stitched Galaxy 12.
