Great

Thank you for this rom. Made my 2015 j500f look brand new again.

I downloaded this rom and got an error 7 then had to install toxycOS as i had wiped all data. Then i downloaded and flashed the new TWRP (you provided and took a shot) this time i didn't do a wipe, i just installed it over the toxycOS oreo version that i previously installed and it had gapps of android 8. But it managed to flash and install and it boot. The ROM is fine, battery ussage isn't that bad but it does drain a lil bit faster, and music (using Timber) pauses everytime i open any app; is it because of ram issue? (1.3gb ram?!?) and how to fix it? Other than that magisk also was flashed without a hustle. Great rom and i hope the future update for j500f takes it easy on ram and battery.

Ow and the camera issue, how can i resolve this rotation of images taken on portrait angle and appear cropped and horizontal? Can't i flash a cam app like a ported pixel 3 cam app or Samsung's ported cam app or any? I really would appreciate a fix to this.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] jenslody:
I use OpenCamera installed from F-Droid.org.

And dirty flashing as update from Oreo can cause problems, the same is for dirty flashing one rom over another.

Wgat you did is even more "dangerous", I wonder that it worked.

Error 7 is typical for an incompatible TWRP.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Vuhgie:
Okay thank you for the fast response .. So are you trying to say i should download gapps for android 9 then wipe all data and reflash the OS along with Gapps or now that everything is working i should just relax and leave it that way? I didn't know I'd have a harm, i thought it is the same as "upgrading from good old windows 7 to windows 10". So what do u think? I should wipe down data and reflash ?

Thank you, lemme try download the app, so then i should disable this one that came with a rom! And why is it that the camera quality isnt good as on the stock rom?
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] jenslody:
It's aosp stock-camera, it's just very simple and partly broken, but there are good alternatives fortunately.

About the gapps, you might get problems on updates of the rom, when the update-system reflashes the existing gapps.

Changing it is most likely easier now, with fewer apps installed, as later in case it breaks on update.

I don't know if there is a way to uninxtall or just dirty flash gapps.

In any case removing the addon.d-script of the gapps, dirty flashing the rom and flashing the pie gapps should work. But all problems (if any) that might be related to update from different rom/api-level will remain.

[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] qwertyiapine:
Hello and thanks to everyone for bringing this rom and support to us.

I have a J500FN (8gb) so I flashed J5nlte after a full wipe along with opengapps pico, and magisk 18.

I am using a micro SD card formatted as internal storage.

I initially had problems with magisk manager not detecting that the magisk zip had been flashed, this was because magisk manager had installed to the SD card automatically.

Moving it to internal storage solved this in case anyone else is having issues.

When a push notification is sent, the sound plays and the ambient display lights up with the details i.e sms / email.

It then stays blank.

Is there a way to have the display repeat the notification at timed intervals?

If I have not heard the tone, or was out of the room at the time then I have no indication that I have missed something, so I have to periodically wake the screen to check the phone in case I missed something.

There will be no notifications for missed calls / voicemails etc.

I have gone through all the settings, and searched through this thread for an answer but can't find one.

Also, as somebody else noted a few pages back, the front page says that this rom was updated 20181217, but all downloads are 20181209, which is what I am using.

Thanks again to all, and hope that somebody can help
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] jenslody:
Not the rom was updated, but the first post.

It's a little bit misleading, but nothing I can change, ut's done by the forum software automagically, not by me, sorry.

Hi all...i have a problem with the camera I can't record a video I have used many applications and no one can record me a video

'' failed to record video''
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Romsergevs:
When writing, specify the model, This ROM is for different models of J 5. Everything on my J 5 3gxx works photo and video

To switch the video you need to swipe across the screen from left to right.

There is a delay when the application is turned on, but then everything works.

Can you add private mode or anything similar in this rom? I can be a beta tester for this resource if you do not have the device it's possible i can help with money

sorry for bad english
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] jenslody:
You can get something similar by creating a work-profile (e.g. with shelter: https://f-droid.org/de/packages/net.typeblog.shelter/ ) and set a different pin etc. for it in security settings.

works fine on my j500f

Update: lmao it worked
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Gio1906:
Looks promising.

Stable build, most things work, RIL works fine (J500M), but the rom is kinda sluggish when running games. But I believe this (performance) might get tweaked and fixed in the future.

Nonetheless, I want to thank you folks for extending the life of our old SM-J500x

...Not really planning to get a new device anytime soon. xD

(SPECIALLY Samsung. This is the last one, since they got over their s**t with Exynos)
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Nzl1223:
I have same problem with my sim card.

How did you fixed that??

Open gapps

I flashed the ROM and got error while flashing open gapps. Which gapps should I use? I tried 8.1 (nano, micro) , 9.0 (nano, micro) and got this error. Tried gapps from LOS thread too. same problem.

The same gapps was working in previous build. I reflashed previous build and again got same error.

Also, I didn't hear in-call audio in 1st sim after flashing the latest ROM.

clean flash
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] garylawwd:
Why did you try flash 8.1 gapps?

And you're sure you downloaded the right files? Because it looks like you downloaded ARM64 version of gapps when this is just ARM device
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Mr. A:
yes I downloaded arm files. 8 was just for trying since 9 didn't got flashed. I am sure I downloaded everything correct. I even tried to flash older gapps which I flashed in pie old version, but it gave same error.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] garylawwd:
it might be the twrp you are using so. Some users experience problems flashing gapps with the twrp in the op. Try using Vince's twrp from Los thread.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Mr. A:
Oh yes TWRP was the issue here. [MENTION=8340552]jenslody[/MENTION] there is a problem with latest and older TWRP. Vince's TWRP is working good while flashing gapps.

Anyways thanks for the support. Awesome ROM. ;);)
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] qwertyiapine:
Android 8 and 9 are both very new to me, as is ambient display.

I have at last resolved this now after getting the keywords right with my searches for a solution, they had to be spot on!

This behaviour is normal for ambient display

If anyone else wants ambient display to repeat notifications then give https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/app-pixel-pulse-ambient-display-t3867023 / https://xdaforums.com/pixel-3-xl/themes/app-pixel-pulse-ambient-display-t3863927 a try, (Both links point to the same app, user findings on second link) works for me but I have to unlock the screen once after powering on the phone for it to work.

In-call audio Bug

I flashed this ROM, clean install but there is no 1st sim in-call audio. I cannot hear anything when calling from 1st sim. 2nd sim is working fine. Also the device doesn't read sim card most of the times, have to remove sim and again insert them to make it work. anyone facing this issue. And, I am using vince's TWRP since the TWRP from OP doesn't flash Open Gapps.

When did you download the TWRP ?

If I update it, I do not mention it in the thread.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Mr. A:
I tried with TWRP_3.2.3_2018-10-13.img file and TWRP_3.2.3_2018-12-22 and TWRP from vince's from LOS thread.

Both of your TWRP gave error while flashing Gapps, Vince's TWRP got it flashed but got 1st sim in-call audio bug.

I tried without gapps but again got "in-call audio" bug in 1st sim.

Now I have reverted back to 2nd working build from 2018-11-23

[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] mujtaba942001:
There is no problem with Vince's TWRP. The in-call audio bug is in the 2018-12-09 build. It was not present in the earlier 2018-11-23 build. I had that problem too but it works after you set the network to 3G only. The problem is with 2G network. Calls simply disconnect on answering or you do not receive them at all
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] jenslody:
I don't know what you do on your device or what might interfere, but TWRP from 12/22 works flawlessly with OpenGapps on my device, and also with rom, of course.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Mr. A:
I am not sure what was wrong there. I flashed the TWRP using TWRP.img and flashed ROM and gapps. ROM gets flashed but gapps doesn't. Also, on latest ROM there is problem in 1st in-call audio bug (atleast in mine).

Tried flashing many times, all clean installs but none worked.

device j500H
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] charkafahim:
Just do what i said earlier
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] garylawwd:
That's kinda ridiculous though. Only one twrp should work for both rom and gapps.

I use the same twrp for both so there is definitely no need to be making the installation process so complicated. If the twrp in the op doesn't work out then Vince's twrp should work.

For me I use the twrp from the op and I haven't encountered these issues after testing a gapps installation (personally I don't use gapps but I like to mess around testing different things)

Galaxy j500f
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] charkafahim:
I know the process is very complex which i took . But trust me . This will solve issues !
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] jenslody:
This is not complex, it's overcomplicated and updates will not work, if you ue two different TWRP's for rom and gapps, but it's up tp you.

Nevertheless the TWRP linked in first post works fine here, for Rom, Gapps (only tested, I don't use them) and for decrypting the Rom.

If it does not work for you, you might have an older version. 15/10 and 22/12 version of "my" TWRP should work (the latter is actually linked).

please, help me to fix this error or send an update fix this because I love this rom.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Mr. A:
maybe the TWRP for j500H has some problem coz only H devices has the issue here. No reports from other devices. I tried many times, still no luck or my device is having some problems. Also, I don't prefer using 2 twrp's for them on same device.

Should I flash the latest one using odin or just TWRP? I flashed using TWRP itself and it flashed without issues. But the problem comes with gapps.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] saedlar93:
It seems that it's a problem that only affects you, probably you're doing something wrong.

It would be nice to include a log file, that way the developer or someone with the proper knowledge could help you debugging.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Mr. A:
I believe everything was done correctly. But I am confused abt flashing TWRP. Should I use odin or TWRP to flash it? I flashed it using twrp and the problem occurred. The twrp is .img so flashed via TWRP.

Anything other that I might have missed?
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] jenslody:
Finally it happened, the first stable Pie release of Bootleggers is out.

Welcome the new 4.0-Stable build.

Download links as ususal in the first post, sourceforge is currently (carefullly said) a little bit slow, estimated upload time for one device currently at 10 hours (!!!).

So only the links to my server work.

Many tweaks under the hood, greatest change for most users: we switched to Snap instead of the AOSP-stock cam, so using the shipped camera should give you a much better experience now.

Sound might be a little bit louder, not really checked, it's nearly midnight now, I'm deadly tired (debugged until 4:30 last night and had only four hours of sleep) my daughter sleeps and I can not test, sorry.

As always any feedback is welcome.

And: no, the OTA-app is still not ready, so manual downloading is needed.

Flashed with latest version (Version 4.0) and so far, so good. No problems encountered with my SM-J500H (or j53gxx) and it is stable. :good:

Again, a great thanks to the developer with this great firmware.

BTW, I'm not using any GApps since the development of Validus ROM by the same developer; instead, I'm using Nanodroid microG (or nothing at all for LineageOS) , it's less laggy that way for me on any ROMs anyway.

Then see what causes the loop (I use Magisk, but no Gapps).
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] jenslody:
I had it also on my FN, but it works now without changes from me, so I thought it was an issue in rom-sources, that has been fixed by one of the many rebases, especially in fwb.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Elizeu7771:
I think you will have this problem every time you install all three at once. Try flashing the rom, and then the gapps. After restarting the phone, do the initial procedure and enter recovery mode and install Magisk. I believe this will help you.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Zenykan:
This is a bug in MusicFX, install the Viper4AndroidFX Magisk module and this will be solved.

Obs.: This bug also interferes with game loads (I noticed this in Arena Of Valor), making them much slower. I discovered that it was MusicFX because this bug only appeared after the developer implemented it in Android Oreo.
