Help on Samsung M52 5G

[Kodaha]

Hello, I wanted to ask if the Samsung Galaxy M52 5G is officially supported and if it is stable. Also, my biggest concern is whether the Android Play Integrity API or SafetyNet is enabled, as I rely on these for my use. I found the forum a bit confusing, so I appreciate any clarification you can provide. Thanks!

Hi @Kodaha welcome to the /e/ forum.

@Kodaha

if the Samsung Galaxy M52 5G is officially supported

Well it is a supported device Info about Samsung Galaxy M52 5G - m52xq.

Regarding the /e/OS classification of official and stable please examine here Different Build Types; m52xq is classified as unofficial or development.

Regarding Safetynet a appears, so no reliable information from this source.

On the bright side

I rely on these for my use.

Adopting a degoogled approach may require some changes.

I agree however, it’s not possible for me at the moment because I depend heavily on banking apps

While I know everyone is not in the position to buy a another phone (notice I didn’t say new). If you could buy a use phone and sell the Samsung that is a good option. I have had great success with the Pixel line of phones with 4a5g up having 5G technology. I have also had great success with the Motorola line. I am in North America, so not sure of 5G status other than here but I’m sure it’s being rolled out around the world.

I have purchased used phone in the range of $100 US in both of the above brands.

Note that the above lines are supported as official stable or developer build by eOS.

Well, in Brazil, it’s not a viable option since this phone isn’t available here. From my point of view, since there’s already a fix and the build is a community edition, why not implement it?"

Please can you clarify your point? … implement what?

Many banks do not rely on Google “tricks”

[LIST] Banking Apps on /e/OS

This is an editable list of banking apps that work on /e/OS. Please enter details only after you have tested all features of the application. If some functionality is not working mention that in the comments. Country Bank App Name Comment Australia ANZ ANZ App everything works Australia Great Southern Great Southern App everything works Australia NAB NAB App everything works, unfortunately the added benefit of the built in digital payment wallet is being phased out by the bank in …

Most builds are Community, that is really the standard and what I use as it happens.

The official builds are for phones which Murena sells or sold.

But I think your bigger decision is whether you want to degoogle. The idea of a perhaps cheaper second phone degoogled does allow you to get real time experience and you at least exclude Google from some of your networked activity, reducing the power of their knowledge of you.

Sorry, my bad. I meant every bank in Brazil uses that stuff. There’s a Play Integrity fix that works with KernelSU.

But I’m not arguing or criticizing. My English isn’t that good; I just wanted support and some help. Thanks for the list, I’ll give it a try.

Understood, there is no problem

Feel free to ask for support … and people may be interested to hear the prospects with the Play Integrity fix that works with KernelSU, or perhaps help if needed.
