I’d like to install PMOS onto my Fairphone 5, because TWRP recently became available for it. However, the comments and post above this Reddit comment appear to demonstrate that the PMOS installer might overwrite all partitions (A and B, but also Recovery), if I’ve understood it correctly.

Has anyone used both together? If so, can you confirm whether it functions (as expected)?

@rokejulianlockhart Yes it can, pmOS doesn’t use recovery partitions. However, why would you? It’s an Android-specific recovery and really not useful for mobile Linux

Indeed - https://xdaforums.com/t/does-twrp-function-with-non-aosp-oses.4692346/post-89709288 seems to elaborate quite well, if you agree with it. Thanks for the response.

If interesting, I’ve also posted at the XDA Developers forum about whether this is more broadly applicable.
