The hardware still holds up
Still worth
keeping.
A smooth display. Capable hardware. A phone you already know.
Reforge UI is about giving that hardware more useful years, for as long as newer Samsung software can be adapted responsibly.

Why Reforge exists
Good hardware
should last longer.
I still think the Galaxy S20 FE is an amazing phone. Its software lifecycle shouldn’t make capable hardware feel disposable.
Reforge UI exists to keep the Snapdragon S20 FE running newer Samsung software for as long as it remains technically practical. That means careful work on the things you use every day, while preserving what makes this phone good.
Care for each device
Working through model compatibility, everyday performance and device-specific fixes.
Continued maintenance
Integrating relevant patches and documenting the limits of each build. No promise of indefinite support.
The device family
Same family.
Check your model.
Reforge UI is built around the Snapdragon Galaxy S20 FE family, including 4G and 5G variants.
Family membership does not mean a build is verified for your phone. Bootloader restrictions and regional firmware can affect installation.

Not compatible Exynos models, including SM-G780F / r8s, are not compatible. Never flash an r8q build onto r8s.
Security & maintenance
Security isn’t
an afterthought.
We aim to integrate newer Android and Samsung security patches as quickly as responsible testing allows.
Reforge UI is unofficial software. Progress depends on available Samsung and donor firmware, patch availability, vendor and kernel compatibility, and device-specific testing.
