[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] katreileyl:
My ROM Adventure

Hello,

I have tried 3 ROMs in the last 4 months. These ROMs are in order;

1) [PORT] [ROM] [7.1.1] SpaceOS by Allan Rodrigues [J500F / H / M / G / FN]

The best of them is the "[v2.0] SEP 8.5 Lite, a Galaxy J2 (2018)" ROM which I use now.

You ask why?

1) Stutter on the interface is minimum. (According to others.) (Too little.)

2) I can say GPU performance is high level. I almost couldn't watch 720p 10bit video with "SpaceOS by Allan Rodrigues [J500F / H / M / G / FN]" ROM. 720p 10bit video was watched by "[v5.0] SEPerience-ROM A8 2018 Port" ROM. I watched 720p 10bit video with "SEP 8.5 Lite, a Galaxy J2 (2018)" ROM and in a way that I can call it fluent with "Software Decoder". (VLC Player is better in 720p 10-bit (HEVC) video than MX Player.) As someone watching movies and series, this was the most important for me.

3) Pretty plain. There is no application to tire the system.

Let me tell you what I'm doing.

First, I installed the "SpaceOS by Allan Rodrigues [J500F / H / M / G / FN]" ROM. It sounded good at first, but the stutter was noticeable. So I installed the "[v5.0] SEPerience-ROM A8 2018 Port" ROM. This ROM was lighter and smoother than the other. So I used this ROM for a while. But still it wasn't exactly what I wanted. That's why I went into search. And I came across the "SEP 8.5 Lite, a Galaxy J2 (2018)" ROM. I installed it today and it made me happy.

It used the "[v5.0] SEPerience-ROM A8 2018 Port" ROM and "SEP 8.5 Lite, a Galaxy J2 (2018)" ROM "Core" Quasar Kernel v1.6 ". But I flashed Quasar Kernel v2.0 to make it better. It made the phone unusable in two ROMs. That's why I installed it clean every time.

While installing "[v5.0] SEPerience-ROM A8 2018 Port" ROM, I made many different attempts in "aroma support" but the stutters did not improve. I guess he was in conflict with "j5 2015" because it is "A series".

While switching from "[v5.0] SEPerience-ROM A8 2018 Port" ROM to "SEP 8.5 Lite, a Galaxy J2 (2018)" ROM, I couldn't flash with "TWRP 3.3.1". I installed "TWRP Pro 3.2.1-1" at the suggestion of the ROM owner and flashed the ROM. (Since I don't have a computer, I flashed ".img" file with TWRP.)

Of course, since "SEP 8.5 Lite, a Galaxy J2 (2018)" ROM is plain, it doesn't have as much feature as "[v5.0] SEPerience-ROM A8 2018 Port" ROM. But I think this ROM should be used to continue using "j5 2015" in a "nice" way.

In addition;

* I installed the Samsung Galaxy Store app as an "apk". I deleted the Galaxy Store app after installing and updating apps. Some apps were not available on the Galaxy Store. I downloaded and installed it as an APK. (Android 7.1.1 compatible)

* I installed "Screen Off" apk to use lock key less. And I put it on the homepage as a shortcut. When you click on the app, the screen turns off after 1 second.

If you have any questions, I will be happy to answer them.
