Thinking of installing MintOS (One UI 8) on the S20 FE 5G? Share your risks, experiences, Play Integrity fixes, and tips!
I'm considering installing MintOS (One UI 8) on my Galaxy S20 FE and wanted to hear from people who have already made the switch.
I'm mainly interested in the risks, common issues, and things I should know before flashing. Some questions I have:
- What bugs have you experienced? (Battery, camera, fingerprint, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, NFC, etc.)
- Is it stable enough for daily use?
- Are there any features that don't work or have limitations?
- Any important tips or precautions before unlocking the bootloader and flashing?
One thing that also confuses me is Google's Play Integrity checks. Despite Google making things more difficult, I've seen quite a few people saying that on the latest MintOS builds:
- Banking apps work normally.
- Google Wallet/Wallet payments work.
- Secure Folder is functional.
- Samsung DeX is supported.
- Play Integrity passes for many users.
How is this possible? Is MintOS using a specific workaround or implementation to maintain compatibility, or does it depend on the device and setup?
I'd really appreciate hearing about your experiences—the good, the bad, and the "I wish someone had told me this before flashing."
Thanks in advance!
