A comment on LineageOS 18.1.

How well do Lineage or other custom ROMs work with devices that are not explicitly supported? I've got a Samsung A50 that has the absolute worst UI, even though I loved the UI on my Samsung Note 3. Rather than ditch the perfectly fine hardware, I would like to install a custom ROM on it. However the A50 is not on the list of supported devices.

Usually they list other supported ROMs on XDA Forum, but a quick check there indicates to me that there are no AOSP ROMs for A50. It is likely due to it using Exynos chip which requires use of proprietary drivers.

That still leaves the option of using a GSI of whichever distribution.
