: GSIs may have bugs with the camera or Bluetooth on specific budget chipsets.

However, the reality of custom ROM development for the Samsung A01 Core is fraught with challenges. Unlike flagship devices from OnePlus or Google Pixel, the A01 Core uses a MediaTek chipset. MediaTek is notorious for being developer-unfriendly, as the company is slow to release kernel sources and documentation. This makes it exceedingly difficult to build stable hardware abstraction layers (HALs) for components like the camera, GPS, and audio. As a result, the available custom ROMs for this device are often few, unofficial, and plagued with bugs—broken Wi-Fi, non-functional camera, or random reboots. The most notable effort as of recent years comes from independent developers on forums like XDA-Developers, where "GSI" (Generic System Image) ROMs based on Project Treble have shown promise. Because the A01 Core launched with Android 10, it supports Project Treble, allowing users to flash a generic AOSP GSI. While this provides a functional system, issues with vendor implementation (e.g., RIL for cellular service, Bluetooth stability) often remain. Samsung A01 Core Custom Rom
