If you want, I can:

• Tool: Magisk (APK).
• Process: Extract the AP file from the stock firmware for the A01. Patch this file using the Magisk app on a separate device or through temporary boot methods. Flash the patched file via Odin (Samsung’s official flashing tool).

• The Reality: Installing a custom ROM does not magically give you more RAM.
• Multitasking: While the ROM itself takes up less space than One UI, you will still face aggressive app killing. If you switch from YouTube to WhatsApp, YouTube may reload.
• Solution: Look for a ROM that supports ZRAM swapping or has optimized "low-RAM" settings.

Maintenance & updates

• Use OTA where provided by the ROM maintainer; if not available, track GitHub/XDA threads and install updated ZIPs manually.
• Keep a copy of the stock firmware and a TWRP Nandroid backup for easy recovery.
• When updating ROM major versions, do a clean install unless the maintainer explicitly supports dirty upgrades.
