I suggest getting root essentials and enabling adoptable storage. Wow I can't believe Samsung would remove such an awesome feature. I have so many big ole games on this phone now and I still have 2 GB free. Amazing how well that feature works.

What does adoptable storage do?
[Samsung Galaxy On5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] whodisname:
Seems like it installs most apps directly to the SD card in their entirety. I used a 32 GB sandisk at 25% adoptable storage. It looks like it installs most apps to the SD card. I been installing all the apps I would ever want on here and I still have plenty of space. I got about 20 extra apps and I bet I could install 20 more.

It reads that total storage in a strange way. But basically I have a 32gb SD card formatted at like 23% (those sliders, man!) It barely uses any internal at all when I install an app. It all goes to the adopted portion. (/SD card 7.68) It saves a TON of space. Don't even need to do the op anymore if you do this.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Yavia:
Is it just Google play or do apks work too? Also do I need to format?
[Samsung Galaxy On5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] whodisname:
Any apps work. Has nothing to do with Google play. I tried it the other day and it didn't do properly the first time. It looked like it worked but I couldn't "migrate data". I ended up having to Odin back to stock.

Once I odined back to stock, adoptable storage worked fine. I still had to root it to make it work. I don't think you should have to factory reset it, but if you did, it's still worth it to do.

---------- Post added at 01:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:18 AM ----------

You should simply have to download root essentials, go to adoptable storage, download the plugin and just follow those directions. If you have a little trouble, you might want to have Odin, stock .tar for the phone, SuperSU.zip, and twrp.tar for this phone handy on your PC and know how to use it. Totally worth it.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Yavia:
Can't really do that because my backups on my sdcard and if it breaks I can't fix it because my computer broke do twrp backups still work or are you forced to use odin?
[Samsung Galaxy On5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] whodisname:
My backups were messed up. I don't know why, I moved my whole SD card to the pc. But my backups all ended with error 255. I just went back to stock just because that was easier than figuring out what I did wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] :
I think error 255 was for... System partition. Problem? I faced it long ago I. Some other Mobile...try formatting all the partitions and restore.. or if it does not work go to mount options and mount system .....

Did you remove some Google ad service because my phone has no Google ads and I didn't do anything to it
[Samsung Galaxy On5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Master YI:
Sandix,

it will only let me transfer the zip file into my sd card for some reason, it wont move the folder inside. I have no clue why. Someone said on XDA's IRC chat i might need to unlock the bootloader, but I never saw anything like that in your instructions. What do i do?

Also the following instructions are confusing and should be restated for clarity. "Select "Data", "Cache", and "Dalvick Cache", and "Internal Storage" ONLY (

IF UPDATING FROM A PREVIOUS VERSION YOU MUST CLEAR CACHE/DALVIK CACHE!!!!)

Do you mean if updating from a previous version of android? say you had 6.0, then upgraded to 6.0.1, is this the what you mean by previous version? Is this step mandatory? When you say ONLY it makes it seem optional. Please clarify this.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Master YI:
Question, has anyone gotten this debloated rom to work? I couldnt get past the metropcs flash screen, even when i restored data from my backup. This custom rom clearly does not work and I don't see OP making any attempt to fix the problem and nothing suggested in this thread will make this custom rom work.

TO ANYONE DISCOVERING THIS THREAD FOR THE FIRST TIME AND ARE CONSIDERING INSTALLING THE DEBLOATED ROM, PLEASE NOTE THAT IT DOES NOT WORK!!

.

sandix, you need to delete the part in the original post about the custom debloated ROM, remove it from the internet completely, or fix it. But just leaving a ROM that is known to be broken is very trashy. You even stated earlier in this thread that you don't have the phone that this ROM was made for anymore. How can you work on a fix?

Thank you for the instructions on how to root and backup this phone but for the sake of users in the future who might come across this thread in the future you should delete everything related to the custom debloated ROM from this thread and the internet. Because it is clearly broken and there is no articulation or clarity on how to make it work, or that you or anyone is coming up with a solution to make it work.

Thank you.

Restore from your last nandroid backup (make sure you restore the modem and boot sectors) and then remove the sdcard and try booting up.. Waiting 10 minutes for it to boot..

---------- Post added at 01:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:49 PM ----------

Guys and gals,

Make sure before trying any changes to the OS or trying a new Rom that you do a full backup to an sdcard of all the major partitions and sectors.

This should be the first thing you do after you ODIN TWRP.

How do I do that, you ask?

Boot to TWRP (power down first) the hold volume up+ home + power until Samsung logo appears.

Go to backup

Slide the 'Advanced' Slider to the right..

Check ALL THE BOXES...

Tap backup..

Then when that's done.. Put that sdcard in a computer and copy all the contents of X:\TWRP (X BEING THE DRIVE LETTER of your sdcard) to a folder on the computer..
[Samsung Galaxy On5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] whodisname:
Worked for me, I have metro PCS. Once I got adoptable storage working, it was moot.

PS, coming on someone's thread and telling them to remove the work they did from the internet is pretty trashy itself. Lots of people tried the ROM and it worked for most of us. If you don't know how to operate your cell phone, ask someone.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] :
Yup..... True enough..... I don't understand what "moot" is.....
[Samsung Galaxy On5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] whodisname:
Means it isn't necessary anymore. Nothing but space now.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] strykyn:
alright..seems everything here is working. went ahead with root/twrp/and the rom. all worked..no problems. i DID have to restore the DATA after the rom...no biggy. nice job.

since i got the adoptable storage thingy workin, i just went to stock rom. as yes.. "moot" is correct. (lol). xposed NOT working for me tho...used the 3.1 apk and the framework suggested by whodisname...install ok. have big red warning when opening exposed about "touchwiz roms", and gravity box refuses to do anything. any solutions for this?

thank OP for his hard werk...thank all of you for getting this thing zingin along

edit. nevermind...thats what happens when you work 2 jobs...NO SLEEP. rebooting after installig module is the key....DUH....anyway thank you guys. this things awesome!!

[Samsung Galaxy On5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] strykyn:
alright..not soo sure i got this adoptable storage thing down yet or not.

i went about this using djmcho and whodisname sugestions earlier in the thread. i did all BUT the link2sd part (link2sd will not create a mount script for me)

all steps went smoothly. when i "migrate data" after performing the adoptable storage setup. it ony moved like 800mb data. so..going back to root essentials, i set it to install apk files to "sd card". but

the internal STILL appears to be growing at a much faster rate than the sd card (adoptable). what are you guys using to view the ACCURATE capacities of your sd/internal storage? i KNOW the phone is WAYY outta wack. i gota i 150gb card, partitioned 15%...came out to like 17.??gb. the sd is filling up...but what about the original "migrate data"? only 800 mb moved from a STOCK UN-DE-BLOATED rom? posted some screens...phone iS running great tho...no lag. the L-Speed seems to offer "some" benefits, although i had to uninstall it till after i installed xposed. any feedback here appreciated...
[Samsung Galaxy On5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] whodisname:

anyone know what migrate data does on the adoptable storage thing?
[Samsung Galaxy On5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] strykyn:
supposedly moves non-system apps (me thinks) to the adoptable storage. adoptable storage is a means of EXTENDING the capacity of the internal storage by means of an EXTERNAL SDCARD. why samsung felt it necesary to disable this feature on a phone with ONLY 8 GB space is beyaond me, unless its to "push" you into buying a higher-end phone. to me its starting to seem kinda ridiculous and counter-productive, as apps2sd and even better Likn2SD did that already. maybe im missing the grand scheme of things, but as of now id rather just "move to external"..instesd of the "system-managed" alternative.

I was really looking forward to seeing some cool ROMs developed for this device, you know, like the ones we used to twea--... mess around with? I'm not saying it's easy, just wondering where development is at? I check up on this thread every once in a while, seeing as how popular this phone is for Metro PCS and T-Mobile carriers and all, just would be cool to at least get one good Custom ROM that allowed for some more space utilization. Kinda read through the posts and saw that there was trouble with the storage adaption (sp?) features, and was just curious as to if anyone is still even working on this device? Looking forward to anything really :D

[Samsung Galaxy On5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] whodisname:
Np. I never got link 2 SD to work. I just use it to automatically move downloaded apps. Adoptable storage is basically the same thing. Except, you know, official and better :)
[Samsung Galaxy On5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] djmcho:
Seems some people are getting good results setting install mode to auto in root essentials. Even when downloading from play store the OS is using the adoptable IF the app is designed to do so.

You guys need to realize if the app is hard-coded to use internal, no hack will get you around it, or so it seems... The link2sd pro has a linking option but it seems most apps crash when you try it... Might need to manipulate the fstab or mounting points..
