Supported variants!
Both variations of A52 4G and A72 (A525F and A525M and A725F and A725M) are supported, but only A525F (6/128 variant) is well tested as I have this device. A72 also has lower support as I do not own one.

Installation instructions

• Make sure your device's bootloader is unlocked.
• Make sure to have the latest available version of TWRP or Pixel Experience recovery installed.
• If not done before, flash disabled VBMeta with Odin in AP slot (originally posted here).
• Backup all your necessary partitions before flashing this in case something goes wrong.
• Download the Pixel Experience build for your device from the link below. Gapps are included.
• Flash the Pixel Experience zip.
• Optionally, flash Magisk v24 or newer right after
• Format data in TWRP or factory reset in Pixel Experience recovery as the very last thing, otherwise you may end up in a bootloop if using encryption or coming from stock ROM.
• Wipe metadata and cache partitions (TWRP only).
• Reboot.

Can it be used on a daily basis? I'd like to install it on my own device to get rid of all the buggy mess of OneUI 4... I'll help with bug reports as well.

Yep its perfectly stable.

 

[DavePlays]

Thank you. How often do you usually update it? Doesn't really matter, but I'd like to be reassured that it's gonna last for a while.

 

[Ryzen5950XT]

Im pretty sure samsungs implementation of volte is proprietary and doesnt work on other roms.

I plan on updating every month or every 2 months with the latest security update

Yo this is a sick rom! Nice to see more people develop for this phone.

Well, all I can say is good luck! I'll most likely give this a go in the following days, custom ROMs are really needed for this device as OneUI is ruining it little by little.

Happy to see my device get enough supported. Nice ROM. Eventhough the topic is just 1 day, but I'm hurry to try. Especially after my official rom prompting me to update to 4.1 - Not ready for the whoopy 4GB + Format.
