Known bugs and issues:

Video Recording (unfixable): There are no TW-Nougat cam libs compatible with A3 so we have to use old MM camera libs with video record bug. Please use Footej Camera from Google Play to record videos

Focus issues (unfixable; A5 only)*

Mobile data on 2nd SIM (A5 only)

VoLTE and VoWiFi doesn't work (unfixable; A5 only): lack of compatible RIL libs

FM Radio (unfixable)

There are maybe more. Test and report (with logcats)

*A5 users have the opportunity to choose between focus bug or video recording bug in aroma installer

Please keep in mind: I don't own a J500xx device, so please make a detailed logcat if you encounter bugs.
