• Metro OS - A WP Custom ROM for Andrid

  This is a topic much more appropriate for https://forum.xda-developers.com/. Source: 10 months ago

• Can stock Android OS (as released by Google and untouched by device manufacturers) be installed on any smartphone that meets minimum hardware requirements for a given iteration?

  You can usually find resources for whether any particular device does or doesn't allow this by looking around on the LineageOS site or the now-legendary XDA Forum. Source: 10 months ago

• Android 13 Samsung A30 5G

  Yeah this would be the wrong sub for that question. My suggestion would be to the XDA Developers forum for your specific phone. If someone has accomplished what you want to do, you're going to find out about it there. Source: 10 months ago

• Problems with TWRP :/

  Maybe try r/AndroidRoms or r/CustomRoms? Though you're probably just better off at https://forum.xda-developers.com/. Source: 10 months ago

• Software hasn't updated in a year

  Look at xda-developers.com forums on how to install a downloaded official or custom ROM for newer OS. Download official ROMS from https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares and search for the latest T-Mobile (TMB) or USA (XAA) one for your exact model #.

• us What's a good (under $500, preferably lower than $200 though) android for geeks?

  Ironically, Pixels are the best for de-Googling. GrapheneOS requires a Pixel, as does CalyxOS for the most part. If you don't want your money going to Google, a used/refurb Pixel gets around that in my opinion. Source: 10 months ago

• Youtube Premium via VPN

  Oh I see makes sense, one closed system needs another 😅 but if you look at Android, look at https://grapheneos.org/ and https://calyxos.org/. Source: 11 months ago

• Android vs Apple phones

  I agree with your point, but wanted to ask, have you considered using a device with a degoogled AOSP-based OS like GrapheneOS or CalyxOS? Source: 12 months ago
