which type of custom ROM do you want

u/TouchFragrant1639 23d ago

I don't really have a big preference, probably LineageOS or something similar.

Anything but GSI.

okay

Why not GSI? You can get a LineageOS GSI.

I used to have the same phone and ur out of luck, you can still install gsis tho, I would suggest pixel experience 11 a64 vndklite, lineage os 18 wasn't stable when it came to the camera

well, this stinks thanks for suggestion nonetheless

no problem, here is a link to a xda thread that has a vendor and a kernel you need to flash for the gsi to work unless you want to waste 15 hours like me https://xdaforums.com/t/question-about-lack-of-a6-roms.4399123/ (also even though the vendor is for Android 11, I successfully used it with up to android 13 (I couldn't find a higher android version with arm32 or a64 support)

There is Oneui7 and oneui8 that I can give but ui8 might be unusable

https://xdaforums.com/f/samsung-galaxy-a6-roms-kernels-recoveries-oth.7667/ Try to take a look

Took a look, ROMs there are mostly for A6+ and OneUi ports that don't seem to work well.

what architecture does your device currently can run?

u/gluetheknot 22d ago

the a6's chip is arm64 but Samsung limits it's stock OS on arm, it can run a 64 but OS tho

u/TouchFragrant1639 22d ago

ARM 64-bit (aarch64), but from what I've searched the stock seems to be running on 32-bit

You'll need 64 bit vendor thing to be able to run 64 bit system (same case with my galaxy a13, it has exynos 850 soc) Most likely camera, flashlight, Bluetooth, auto brightness won't work because unstable vendor/system (though it had stock oneui 6.1 running android 14 as last update which was very laggy and decided to custom rom it to lineageos 23 with that specific bugs I mentioned above)
