-Stable: YES, smooth as butter
-almost everything is working
-has multiple customisation options to choose from.
-Issues I have encountered so far are:
(1) adaptive brightness doesnt work/ doesnt have one
(2) When one pulls the statusbar to QS, Samsung parts crashes (but will continue to work and doesn't affect performance but it's annoying)
(3) on the lock screen in the status bar there is a light that keeps on flickering.
(4) (not an issue) but the GPS/Location doesn't have the High accuracy or save mode optns, like in derpfest.
-My opinion
wish the rom had the weed and landscape battery icons, GPS/Location, recents (the clear button is far left when you have multiple apps open) from derpfest.
-Overall great rom, great job my bru
NB: To make it easier to jump from one rom to another use migrate gpe app (for apps+data+perm/call logs/contacts) and google one for device settings..etc backup.

It is released : https://sourceforge.net/projects/ancientrom/files/a20/

Perfect level of customization on this ROM. But it's just too stuttery on my a20. Lemme try v6.2 and see.

---

does anyone know how to stop the light in statusbar on lockscreen flickering?

Hi, I am on AncientOS v6.4 after trying Derpfest and Spark. I had frequent crashes and instability on those ROMs, so far Ancient has been better but I still experience oddities. The main ones are:
1. Apps crashing and reopening
2. General sluggishness
3. Keyboard slow to open, sometimes doesn't at all
4. Auto-brightness never gets it right and is constantly adjusting even when the light level is consistent. It is constantly too dim, sometimes to the point that I think the phone has crashed as the screen is barely visible.
I had all of the above issues on the previous ROMs as well other than the stock ROM (stock worked but it was so slow). I am starting to suspect it is not the ROMs but my phone / recovery / firmware or something.
When it works, it works so well. Unfortunately, the issues are too consistent to ignore.
Is anyone able to comment on the above issues? Is it just the nature of custom ROMs for the A20 or is it something I have done wrong?
Model SM-A205YN. Thank you!

These phones use a custom kernel called Eureka kernel which is known to be slow on some versions. If you want possibly better performance you can try an Android 13 build made by the Eureka team which has a newer version of the kernel.

Hmm it seems there is no Android 13 kernel available. Are you able to suggest any roms that I may have better luck with that aren't based around the Eureka kernel? Any that are known to be stable?

Unfortunately there are no ROMs that don't use the Eureka kernel. Here are the 3 builds that use Android 13 with a newer kernel: https://sourceforge.net/projects/eurekaroms/files/Samsung/A20/T/ . It is made by the same people who are making the kernel.

which one of those 3 do you suggest? I'm just looking for performance, I don't care about aesthetics.

Lineage OS is good for that i think

Terribly sorry to ask such a noob question, butdoes anyone know how I could install Magisk ?
I managed to install TWRP on this device, as well as CrDroid, but I can't for the life of me figure out Magisk, and all the tutorials I found in this subforum are deprecated and do not work :/
edit : finally managed to do it !
-Download the latest Magisk apk (version 25.2 at the time of writing)
-Rename it into a zip file (replace .apk with .zip)
-Flash with TWRP
This method is considered obsolete by the Magisk GitHub, but it's the one that did the trick !
