Samsung Galaxy C5 - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hi there!
I was just curious to know if any dev is working on galaxy c5(SM-C5000)
because finally it has working twrp and a working rooting method
I tried myself for a Grace Ux port and I almost got all apps working except for the settings and the system ui.
I know this will be very easy for a seasoned developer because we have a proper TW MM base.
Any help would be appreciated!

My brother has this phone, were from Romania. He's using it on Vodafone and there is no problem. There are 2 firmwares for this phone: China and Hong Kong. There is no european or some other firmware. The phone was bought with Chinese firmware but without Google Play services and to install them nothing worked unless flashing through custom recovery which I wanted to avoid. The HK firmware has Play Store in it and it's working without problems. He's satisfied with it. Most probably will work in Poland as well.

Ok, thanks for fast response.
I definately would flash this phone to smth custom, like CM or LineageOS, I hate touchwiz (I have now a3 2016) and my phone has such a potential but can't feel it without breaking out from touchwiz :/

Flashed Global ROM over VodaFone stock ROM, Can I relock bootloader? (Redmi Note 8T)

Hey guys, I know people ask this all the time but please help a noobie out.
I bought this phone online back in 2019 and it came with a VodaFone ROM. Today I installed Android 11 Update but I didn't like what they did with 3rd party launchers not being able to use gestures so I unlocked bootloader and flashed the official Global ROM (MIUI 12 Android 10) with XiaomiTool V2, but now I can't use some essential apps and also I'm worried cuz my phone is unlocked and not secure.
I already checked on Xiaomi's oficial Product Authentication and it has a green tick and it says: "Congratulations! You can be assured the phone you have purchased is the official international version." That means I don't have a Chinese Version right?
So my question is can I safely lock bootloader without bricking my device?

Anyone know how to fix Samsung health or why is it not working on this model?
Arobase40 said:
You mean why Samsung health is not working with rooted A528B phone ??? lol
Just because Samsung f*** up and decided to screw us up...
At least, it is working in the background, so we know how many steps we walk during the day through notification but we can't access the app in itself... ^^

Arobase40 said:
Since you rooted it once and trigger Knox it won't work as normal anymore even if you unrooted it !... ^^
Samsung changes deeply its framework with OneUI and more specifically with Android 12.
Samsung Secure Folder isn't working either with this phone when it is working with my rooted Galaxy tab S6 with Android 12 and OneUI 4.1... ^^
Just can't understand how it is possible...

Question Chinese version in U.S

Hi guys. I have a question. My mom will go to china, what if I ask her to get one ONEPLUS 11 from China. Is it working good in U.S? anything issues? Should I install U.S version? How?
yes, it will work perfectly but , it must be activated in china firstly ,or u will get an area locked phone.
or~go find an OPPO store if u can , they can unlock it.
the china version os didn't have full function Google services,i think its better to install the oxygen os.
check this out https://yun.daxiaamu.com/OnePlus_Roms/一加11/
On cos you need only to instal the google playstore

I prefer to install the oxygen OS, cause that OS works well in U.S. but is it still have area lock after install the oxygen OS? I think before doesn't have this issue, is it just start this year?

afraid that's not enough because app's like android auto would run only if it was installed as system app.

If you buy a phone from a Chinese seller with a color OS, you may have the surprise of a blocked phone when you activate it outside of China.
But now there are external versions with Oxygen unlocked

as i know it cannot be done online. I also don't know what will happen if u flash an oxygen os into it when it's unactivated.
if I was planning to do what ur going to, I will chose to go to the OPPO store.

You should activate the phone first or you will get a region lock; A lot of things don't work in ColorOS, like android auto etc.; if you convert it to OxygenOS, there are a lot of headaches also.
