Safe to use ROMS/Recovery from Samsung Galaxy M20? - Samsung Galaxy M30 Questions & Answers

The folks over at Samsung Galaxy M20 are a bit more active since the phone came out a bit before our phone. So I was wondering, is it safe to use ROMS and Recovery from it?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-m20
The only spec differences between the two models are: sAMOLED display in M30 vs regular LCD in M20, Triple Rear camera in M30 vs Double in M20. All the other ones are the same: Processor etc.

[BuyingIn1hour]Should i go for this or the S5 mini?

Hello, i have to order a phone in the next hour to replace my S2. The S5 mini cost 100 more but maybe it's worth? I dunno..
Originally i'd like to get a dual sim phone, looks like S4 mini has such a version but hard to find and probably not much custom rom if any..

At the moment there's no custom Rom for s5 but maybe there will be some later and the s5 is faster.
But the stats aren't really better

of course s5 mini !!!!!!! ... basic reason is that its newer !! .. i wish i could have your chance :silly:
Go with the S4 Mini! It rocks! More value for money! Cheap. More mods. Better looking.
How aggressive is Knox on the S5 Mini?
Just remember, the S5 Mini has an Exynos chip, and Samsung does not have a good track record on releasing sources for those. So there might not be any custom AOSP based roms for it. It also lacks OpenGL 3 support, whatever that will mean for future Android versions.
There aren't any big differences from the S4 Mini to the S5 Mini other than the fingerprint and 16GB ROM.

Well....... Far more resolution is not actually that true since the S4 Mini uses a full RGB matrix and the S5 Mini the crappy pentile matrix. I take the S4 Minis display any day over the S5 Minis, even though the S4 Minis is a qHD. It's more pleasing to the eye and less pixilated!
Just like S4 Mini the S5 Mini too has some variants.
3G International - Uses exynos 3 chipset(3470) 4 X Cortex A7 @ 1.4GHz + Mali 400MP4 GPU - By far ugliest and creepiest chipset with no guarantee of kernel sources.
LTE International - May be the same exynos 3 chipset. If not then most likely snapdragon 400. Then just like I9195 this will be flooded with custom roms.
3G Dual Sim - Snapdragon 400 4 X Cortex A7 @ 1.4GHz + Adreno 305. Good chipset with a lot of support. But I think just like I9192 aosp roms will be very less for this S5 Mini.

[Q] SM-P350 & SM-P550 are new notes?

Does any body know anything about these devices?
Their profiles appeared at http://wap.samsungmobile.com/ and they look bad for new devices... Resolution is just 1024x768... Or may be, it some kind of developer board.

I could live with resolution but I am just so sick of Samsung and their craptastic updates. Same generation as Note 3 yet no lollipop insight. I paid T-Mobile $700 least they can do is treat their customers to reasonable updates
Any root on Galaxy Tab A 8" with S-Pen (SM-P350) ?

HDC Galaxy A5/A5000 (Samsung Galaxy A5 Clone/Replica) 5" IPS HD, MTK6582, Metal Frame

HDC Galaxy A5/A5000 (Samsung Galaxy A5 Clone/Replica) 5" IPS HD, MTK6582, Metal Frame
Unboxing
Review
A replica of the Samsung Galaxy A5, called HDC Galaxy A5. I found this phone on Caymall. The metal build quality is pretty good, but the hardware and software inside is of course much weaker and lower than the original. But for the low price it is ok as a basic phone.
To switch boot logo to new or default, use code: *#0075#
The phone also support real wireless updates (FOTA). Very rare for a clone/replica phone.
Updated ROM with Play Store can be found here:
http://www.needrom.com/download/hdc-galaxy-a5a5000/
Specifications:
- MTK6582 Quad Core 1.3Ghz
- 5.0 Inch IPS HD Screen
- Android 4.4 KitKat
- 1GB RAM / 8GB ROM (phone may show more)
- 8MP rearcam, 2MP frontcam
- Supports MicroSD
- Dual SIM (2xNano) Dual Standby
- 2G:GSM850/900/1800/1900MHZ - 3G:WCDMA850/2100MHz
do anyone have the same clone model? i need preloader file...please help me

these is no rom with android5.0 for sm-a5000?

Call & text on other devices on Galaxy M51

Does this device support Call & text on other devices?
It's the feature that links samsung tab with samsung phones, enabling them to call without a sim card
https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00083152/
This is the official page for this feature but i can't understand if it is simply outdated or if the m51 doesn't support this feature at all.
A20 is a much cheaper phone but it is supported.
Thank you all
+1
+1 just got M51 and it doesn't have it. I had A71 before that and it supported it. In essence, the phones are almost identical, M51 has HW fingerprint reader on the side instead in-display and bigger battery. I don't get Samsung sometimes!
As far as I have figured out, Samsung devices with One UI Core don't have this feature. Samsung devices running One UI (so not the stripped down Core version) do have this feature.
Check availability here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_UI

Device Inventory Manufacturer Not Specified

My apologies if this has been addressed in the past but I did search and search quite a bit, not only on major search engines but XDA as well and could not find any mention of this.
For the device inventory settings, when adding a device I've noticed many of the newer devices linked to their respective forums have the Manufacturer input as Not Specified
Yet the older device forums appear to consistently have that correctly filled with whichever company manufactured them.
For the Motorola forums this is pretty evident as nearly all of the newer releases have an unspecified manufacturer, my guess is the XDA forum migration may be the reason that process fell apart.
It's clearly no top of the list issue given the more pressing things needing to be addressed but since I found no way for users to submit or edit this tiny bit of device detail, I presume it's left either to forum moderators or XDA admins.
Anyway, please excuse my obsessive compulsion for maintaining complete and accurate lists.
This for instance?

Yes. Precisely this. And it's even more baffling to see as in your screenshot both the S21 and FE have it populated correctly but not the S21+ and Ultra? All but one came out the same month this year so there goes my assumption that it was a forum migration issue. It seems more likely due to whomever creates the device forum at the time isn't filling out that particular text field on the form. I'm completely clueless on that end of things.

It is fixable for sure. I remember handling a report that a user had made regarding the same issue with another device forum and Mike took care of it for me.

Alright, on to the list. These will be primarily Motorola devices. Is it enough to simply list the device as on the list or would it be easier to have a link to it? There is at least some comfort in that these are mostly huge lists now and won't be a common or frequent task, I'd hope.

Yet the other listing which clicks through to the device forum doesn't contain the mfc. info or the graphic.

{Mod edit: Quoted post has been removed}
Yes. That is what this thread is about.
Hi @MikeChannon,
hopefully this thread still functions as to request changes to the "Device Inventory" and your kind support.
The older "Samsung Galaxy S2" or "SII" (with several XDA forums) can be found two times as 1. "i9100" (add_device_id=61) without "Samsung" as manufacturer and as 2. "Samsung Galaxy S II" (add_device_id=60).
And I stumbled upon a strange error (" Oops! We broke the matrix. Someone call Neo! ") while adding a "Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra":
Adding a "Samsung Galaxy S20" via the search device link works. It is "add_device_id=1135", but I want to add "Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra". The Ultra seems to be add_device_id=1136 (As device search link "+ Add device to inventory" contains.), which surprisingly does not work.
Could it be that, if a specific device (see "Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra" or "Samsung Galaxy S II" above) is not (already) linked to a XDA forum, it will fail to be added to device inventory?
Thank you for your support.

Hi
Well the older devices werte a bit of a nightmare to add to the device inventory as there were so many variations, carriers etc. Not to mention that the device inventory is a custom add-on to our XenForo forum software and as a consequence isn't always easy to work with. For that reason I'm reluctant to change anything with the S2 / SII forums/device inventory.
For the much newer S20 Ultra what happened there is that originally there were separate forums for the S20 /\Ultra and plus versions. As these shared software it was decided to roll the forums together but clearly the device IDs were not merged.
Hopefully you can now add the Ultra version.

Hi @MikeChannon,
thank you. Yes, I now have just the whole device family (i.e. "Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra") in my inventory. Obviously, I initially didn't catch, that it is less a detailed device specification but a convient link to the related XDA forums.
As a small final cleanup, the single still existing "Samsung Galaxy S20+" would now also need its merger into the above mentioned device family/forum.
Thank you for your longstanding support.

Yes it's more just a linking to the forum (if we have one) sort of thing. It's certainly not perfect as it does not allow adding devices for which we don't have a forum.
I removed the old broken link to the Samsung Galaxy S20+ so it can be added now but only as the group of: S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra
