Hi,
Is encrypting the device possible with custom roms? I recently flashed Linage 18 and want to encrypt my data.

The short answer is no. I don't remember the exact details but you'll run into issues if you try.
The only combination that works well(with twrp working) with encryption is Stock Pie + Latest TWRP.

hello
I have installed LineageOS and encrypted it after a while.
Can I safely upgrade ROM through OTA?
If ota is a working feature yes you can. There should be no reason the encryption would cause a problem unless the devs buggered it..
Hi everyone, I want to use a Pie based ROM. Now I am using stock MIUI 9.6 Global bootloader unlocked. What would be the best procedure to flash a pie based ROM? And can I come back to MIUI if I want? What am I going to sacrifice if I flash treble ROM? I know It's a lot of questions but please try to answer it. Thanks in advance ?

If you have an unlocked bootloader, it's going to be easy. Install TWRP or OrangeFox Recovery. You will get the instructions in the respective pages of XDA. Then, take a complete backup of all partitions using TWRP/OrangeFox, back up the apps using Titanium Backup, and then get a ROM of your liking, and install it.
You are not going to sacrifice anything if you flash a treble ROM. You can revert to MIUI 10 at any point.
But do keep in mind that Android Pie ROMs are quite new and might have a bug or two.
Unlock Bootloader first
Flash twrp
Flash cusrom
Flash GApps
Flash Magisk (if you want to root)
Reboot

The posts above me has mentioned the method to flash custom treble ROM. In case you find any difficulty in flashing it, you can PM me. The procedure they mentioned are simple enough and the steps are user friendly. Take a recovery backup once you flash your custom ROM. You can come back to MIUI anytime you want.
I had flashed ROMs for various versions including Treble ROMs. In regards to selection of treble roms, you find whichever customisation features and options you like and select them.
I find MIUI to be stable enough for daily use. In case you are a flashaholic like me then you can try all the custom ROMs and check which is stable enough for your use.
I faced a major difficulty of signal instability with custom ROMs. Fyi I am in India and the network is JIO. I found too many blank spots and lesser signal quality. Apart from that the ROMs are fluid and fast enough.

I have also a SM-J600FN/DS, I am using OFOX, to first install the lineage-17.1-20210213-UNOFFICIAL-j6lte.zip
[ROM][UNOFFICIAL][j6lte][10] LineageOS 17.1
Install and running was OK, but like written some pb with phone calls.
Then I tried an other lineage-17.1-20200715-UNOFFICIAL-j6lte.zip
install was OK but at first start never trebuchet ended!!!
So, test the Arrow [ROM][10][J600X][ARM64] Arrow OS
Install and running was OK, but like with lineage-17.1-20200715-UNOFFICIAL-j6lte.zip same pb with phone calls.
I am thinking these 2 ROM with call phone pbs are not for the J600FN/DS but for the J600G
At last test the [ROM][10][ARM] YashxOS for Galaxy J6 2018
Install and running was OK and ALSO the phone calls :+)
Its default is to have gapps built in so I would like to root it to remove unwanted apps!
The .apk KingoRoot and kingroot fail to do so! (failed also with the last stock ROM)
Hello Guys, after the years i want to reactivate my XZ1 with Stock Rom, so the nearly question is custom rom yes or no?
I think for my child 9 years is stock rom okay and safe he don´t has a bank or online banking or like that, is there any Opinnion that make a Custom Rom sense on the XZ1 and if that what is the best on versus the old stock rom?
I think he will use the camera most, but in custom roms i have read that there are issueses with the Custom Rom on the camera?
Give it a good Custom rom for this device where all work fine? thanks
Can anyone told me make it sense or not

Definately download the stock firmware first. I forgot, and I'm having a hard time getting the right version.
I did not check headphones yet, but audio/video is all well. Currently I have another OS (Evolution) installed, I might revert back to LineageOS in a few days. I will check headphones then.
Main issue I'm having now is the mobile service connection. It's very unreliable, and the data is always off. Also on Evolution OS, so it might be the phone's hardware. (Did not check out of the box.)
Edit, okay, back to LineageOS 17.1. Don't know how, but the modem works now.
It was about this file: amss_fsg_poplar_tar.mbm
I think because I installed Lineage 19 without simcard.
I tried to flash stock ROM, but could not get it to work.
A lot of "invalid Zip format" errror messages...
So I tried LOS 17, and it al worked, then dirty installed 18, and then 20. And modem worked, but then failed.
Back to 17.1 again, and up till now no problemos.
Almost of the most popular Custom ROMs don't even Support this Phone at all, so I looked up GSI roms which should work on any phone whatsoever, is there a way to install GSI roms on this phone?

Most likely. Install TWRP, then flash any GSI you want to /system.
I have written a guide here but be aware that you are expected to know your way around Odin and TWRP.
