What works

amost evrything you need

in detail, most stuff works: ril, wifi, gps, video, audio, bt-audio, pip, nfc, drm, fm-radio,

except what's listed in bugs

encryption works, decryption in TWRP also (at least with my TWRP), more details come, be careful and take a full backup before encrypting
​

Bugs

sim-pin does not work, so you need a sim with removed pin

mobile data does not work most of the time, sometimes it does

gps works but fix sometimes needs a long time, especially with low signal (indoors)

NFC (J500FN)

included screen-recording app does not work on the J5 devices

dual-sim issues (possible workaround in second post)

no Volte!

You tell me

Instructions

At least MarshMallow bootloader is required or you will not be able to boot the rom !

Latest stock firmware is recommended before installing this rom, even if it might work with older versions !

You have to reboot one time after first boot to make mobile data work.

Use the TWRP from the download-link for your device above (needs to be flashed from existing TWRP, ODIN version might come)

Download the latest build

Put it on your device

Reboot to TWRP

If you want to be sure wipe the device

Flash the latest build

Clean Cache and Dalvik if you want

Reboot and enjoy

Others

Easily rootable with the great Magisk (stable) by @topjohnwu.

I use it as daily driver without major issues, except mobile data (see above).

I use microG as google replacement and for push-services, signature-spoofing is already build into the rom but need to be enabled in "Settings -> Bootleg dumpster -> Miscellaneous" and granted in "Settings -> apps" and/or in microG-Settings.
