Hello guys... i saw few custom kernels from normal s20 and Note 20 Ultra 5G... i quite like my exynos S20 FE but i think it have much more potential in it.. can you answer me if someone is building it? Thanks
Your better of asking in the S20 forums I would think as there is not a lot of dev work happening on the S20FE atm its too new (3 months in the Uk).

Hi guys,
Coming from an Exynos Note 5, I'm about to upgrade to Note 8. As always, I root and flash custom rom to my phone all the times, since I cannot stand the stock rom.
Now, I have this obvious question that a lot of note 8 noobies like me might have - which model will have the best dev supports?
Snapdragon or Exynos based devices??
millions of thanks in advance.
Several people have asked the same question here - you may want to search next time. The short version is that outside North America and Hong Kong, the Note 8 models are all Exynos, and those are easier to mod due to unlocked bootloader. The Snapdragon version does have a root method now, but per history the Snapdragon versions never have as much development as the Exynos versions.
Thank you!
I will search more thoroughly next time. Exynos versions it is then.
I think they use snapdragon in chinese market too.
In some listings for tempered glass screen protectors, they differentiate between s20 fe 5g, s20 fe, s20 fe 4g
But this seems just like lack of knowledge on their part right? Because there's only s20 fe, and whether it's Exynos or Snapdragon it's the same form factor isn't it??
Thanks for your advice

Yes. They're all the same. The reason they named it because regional. Some area called differently.

Does somebody know why samsung has stopped its exynos990 variants for s20 fe? I have s20 fe exynos and was wondering is it because of the hardware issues? If there are any issues like battery draining fast, is there a chance they repair it through OTA update?

I think the Exynos FE always scored lower on battery drain tests. From what I have seen, it looks like the Exynos was just more power hungry than the Snapdragon version, but I don't think this would be fixable with an OTA update. It seems to be more down to the processor.
I'm wondering if anyone knows if its possible to flash the firmware for a regular S20 5G (SM-G981) to an S20 FE 5G. My phone is from Verizon (SM-G781V) if that matters. They both have the same processor I believe (Snapdragon 865). Only difference is amount of RAM I think. I would think the regular S20 would have more features than the FE version and would like to enjoy them. Thanks in advance.
This would not work, there are many hardware diffences between the two phones even if the basic specsheets look the same. Best case scenario flashing another models ROM would it not installing, worst case a total brick.
Right now there are no 3rd party ROMs (as far as I know) for the S20FE, your two options would be waiting for custom ROMs to come out for the FE or consider selling it and using the money to get a refurb S20.
Hi,
I recently moved to Canada and the 5G doesnt work, no matter what I tried.
I was thinking about to flash the canadian version of the ROM, G871W, considering that it is the same hardware (https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s20_fe_5g-10377.php).
I'd like to know if anyone had the some problem and solution (like that, or any other).
Thanks in advance
