As I wrote on my announcement, it's a different launcher, so different behaviour is to be expected.

Either swipe all apps to the right until you get the "clear all" "button" to close all apps or swipe up the app you want to close until it's removed from recents.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] BSKVL:
That is not I'm talking about. Im talking about "force close" option
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] BSKVL:
In here , there was a firce close option except for these option. Which ultimately help to save some battery. Any way to add that?
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] garylawwd:
Like jens said its to do with the launcher.

The launcher looks after the recents overview and behaviour.

And since the update its gone from lawnchair to a modified launcher 3 that's why its different and thats why force close cant just be added.

For me i had no issue with lawnchair so i downloaded lawnchair again along with the lawnstep magisk module and i get the force close option back again.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] jenslody:
I had no issues here as well, but it's official and testing, that's why I ship from official sources, without any extensions.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] GReaper-DEV:
I hope camera quality settings are good like stock firmwares.

Waiting for the best, good luck.

install zip
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] TheAngryGuitarist:
Flash the gapps zip file along with the rom and optionally Magisk root. Gapps are Google Apps, I recommend pico if you want to get the minimum compatibility to use play store and save some space. Download Arm 9.0 .

Thank you very much for update

But my datamobile still don't work on my sim2!

And seconds don't work too on my clock

I use j500h
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] vasilis_:
just realized the ROM is not prerooted.

Can you instruct me which Magisk version I should get ?

I also believe I will need Stable Magisk 18.1 ,NanoDroid-microG-20.7.20190310 and Installer Magisk Manager 7.1.1.

but I dont know where to get them or the correct order to flash them :/
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] ThatZenon:
Magisk v18.1 zip is available via the following link :

https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/v18.1/Magisk-v18.1.zip

MicroG: https://downloads.nanolx.org/NanoDroid/Stable/

Clean Wipe and then

Flash the ROM then magisk zip and then microG

Good luck

Oh ok I got it. I have the gapp Pico installed. What specific gapps do I have to install? Or do you need to format your cell phone to do this?
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] garylawwd:
I honestly cant remember what version you need. You don't need to format anything.

Just Google it or look at what each gapps package contains.

Guys, i have flashed the latest ROM, Magisk, and MicroG. Google Playstore works just fine, but i can't get the geolocation service to work, can't get fixed location. In MicroG self check, the last 3 items regarding unlp seems incomplete. Do any of you have the same problem, or something is wrong with my system ?

If indeed it should be working without hassle, then i will try to reflash the stuffs right again. Any feedback is appreciated, thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] garylawwd:
You should post this on MicroG thread not here.

But to answer your question make sure you have setup you location backends correctly in unified NLP settings in MicroG

Edit:

It could be a permission issue I had the same before and just use these commands in terminal to fix

su

pm grant com.google.android.gms android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION

pm grant com.google.android.gms android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION

Night Mode bug on j500m

First of all, it's a great rom! Thanks for your amazing work.

I found a bug when changing the night mode to "automatic" in the devs op its always change to "always activated".

A way I found to fix it and return to a light theme it's to change it in the menu Screen>Themes.

I catched a logcat for changing it in the dev settings, but I can't link it cause the XDA polices.

[MENTION=8340552]jenslody[/MENTION] I was just messing around with a few settings and noticed (for me anyway) that when pinning a screen it becomes impossible to unpin unless you have the on screen navbar enabled.

I dont know if this is device specific or just a problem on my end but I tried the home and back button, the home and overview, the overview and back buttons (basically all combinations) but I still cant unpin a screen unless I enable the on screen navbar.

Thought I would just mention it.

If more info or anything else is required I will happily comply

[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] duhovni89:
J500 h

I have problem with this rom ...

1.How to fix lag

2. App is very slow (Messenger, Google chrome, instagram. etc..)

3. And what camera for this rom is best mia2 not work on j500 h

I clean install this rom
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] TheAngryGuitarist:
1. You may have lag due to the lack of memory, try cleaning some space

2. Check if your apps are running into your internal memory (If your apps are installed on your Sd, this may be the cause)

3. If stock camera is not working, download Open Camera.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] duhovni89:
Yes

Messenger instagram is on sd card but phone call app is on internal and also have lag
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] TheAngryGuitarist:
What gapps package are you using? If you're using a heavier one, it might use more resources making your device slow.

Also, try clearing some space, cache memory, deactivate things you don't need. I'm using an FN device, I usually don't experience lags, I do only when multiple apps are running in background.

Edit: I've realised the "Phone Call" app have a little delay starting, but I'm not experiencing delays with others.

Anyone on j500h having a problem with battery drain? I'm not sure if the rom has faster drain or it was like that on stock TBH but I'm wondering if anyone is having problems .

P.S: has anyone tried downgrading from this ROM to lolipop or mm? Does it work?
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] garylawwd:
You can downgrade the rom to marshmallow as it uses marshmallow bootloader and modem but to go back to lollipop you will first have to flash lollipop bootloader and modem for custom roms.

Stock ROMs should be okay to just flash via odin
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Wisdawms:
Thanks, but how do I downgrade to lollipop? Where can I find modem and bootloader? Cause I tried like a month ago after upgrading to mm to downgrade by flashing the lollipop room and it gives me an error saying aboot fail auth on Odin and on my phone in download mode it said SW rev check fail fused 1 binary 0 or something like that.

And I did a little bit of research and found that it does that cause Samsung disabled downgrading for this particular phone. Haven't tried recently tho, please do tell me if you have tried it before.

Edit: it's worth mentioning that when I tried to downgrade to 5 and got this error when booting up phone or recovery I got this text at the top "seandroid not enforcing" but now it's gone after updating twrp, not sure if that helps.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] garylawwd:

Well, thanks for your help anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] garylawwd:
Yes you can! The only j5 that cant downgrade bootloader and modem is j5 prime. Where did you read that?
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Wisdawms:
I read that on the thread you sent, but now I realized it's over 3 years old and I'm pretty I upgraded to Android 6 once and then downgraded with no problem.

Although when I tried to flash bl modem I got error, but I shall try it again later today after creating a twrp backup.

Not really noticing a big difference if there is one at all (using AccuBattery) and the sacrificed performance isn't worth it.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] garylawwd:
Man just stop using clean master and accubattery and all them other apps your wasting your time and actually slowing down your device.

I can only imagine all the apps you have installed which are always running in the background. Thats whats killing your battery and slowing the device. The more apps you have the bigger the sacrifice you make to battery and performance and on an old budget phone from 2015 its not a really good idea.

I have never had that kind of trouble and nor has the Dev as he has never complained about it.

To be honest I have never had such good performance and battery life from any rom as I have had with bootleggers for the j5.

If you really have to then use greenify for closing apps and preventing them running in the background and using aggressive doze

and kernel auditor to change GPU and cpu frequency's but stay away from clean master and all that other crap
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Wisdawms:
As I previously said I uninstalled clean master, and AccuBattery to my knowledge is merely just an app to observe battery discharge rate and such if I'm not mistaken.

Also bruh I barely have any apps on my phone :)

And yeah I am using greenify, I wasn't complaining of the ROM I was just saying that it made no diff.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] yash447:
Do you use MicroG or open gapps, microG is much better for battery life and also improves performance

Edit: kernel adiutor can also be used to minimize background processes which drain battery when you are not using your device or when the screen is off ,
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] TheAngryGuitarist:
Is it just me, or "Night Light" slows down the device? Because, it seems to me device works a little bit slower when is activated.

Also, how can I do that with kernel aduitor?
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] yash447:
Actually there is no convenient way to uninstall gapps without reflashing you ROM again (as far I know) because it overwrites some important files during installation.Heres a link to the GitHub FAQ:

https://github.com/opengapps/opengapps/issues/551

You have to wipe and install the ROM again and then flash microG. Here's a link to download microG : https://downloads.nanolx.org

Which version of open gapps did you use? Pico is recommended but anyways microG is the best

Edit: Here's a link to guide for using kernel adiutor

https://xdaforums.com/android/general/guide-comprehensive-guide-to-kernels-t3121088/amp/

(It's lengthy I know but basically you can set GPU freq to 310 or 400 and GPU governor to on_demand, then change CPU governor to blu_active(for balance between battery and performance )or interactive or relaxed also works good try each of them and choose what you like You can lower the CPU freq if you want better battery)
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] garylawwd:

[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] garylawwd:
No there is no nanodroid on Magisk you download from here https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/module-nanomod-5-0-20170405-microg-t3584928/page599

It should get rid of gapps but a clean install is always recommended.

I wouldnt just flash it because it might not get rid of every single gapps package.

What you do is read all the documentation on the nanodroid thread it has everything you need to know
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] hemeky:
On j5 sm-500fn very stable ROM and really reactive.

The problems come in when i installed the Open Gapps, i took the stock version and everything went dramatically slow (if i use pixel theme the touchscreen goes in total block).

After 2-3 reboots and choose (forever) Shishu theme, it's coming to improve everything and the UI gains fluidity.

Anyway i can't connect to Wi-Fi since from beginning: when I insert network password (PEAP) the connect "button" doesn't become never touchable. With other roms never happened.

I would like to ask you, at the end, what Open Gapps is suggested for the limited J5(2015) hardware resources? Do you think stock version is excessive? i thought it could be good because the weight of Stock version for Android 9 (618.08) is even lower than Gapps for Android 6 native J5 stock-rom (639.39 MB)
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] jenslody:
