Hello,

first of all: Sorry for my not perfect English (I am German) and thx a lot for your work!

I got a Samsung J5 (SM-J500FN) and installed an unofficial Lineage-18 ROM. Unfortunately that one has some bug and the SIM-card is not recognized at all (and no one works at it, as it looks like.) So I am looking for a different (hopefully better one ;)), which brought me to this site.

My question is: Can I install your ROM just over the already installed lineage 18? (It's the first time for me to do some custom ROM on a mobile, so I am not sure for many things.) Is there some special things whcih have to be done?

Maybe you can give me some hints. Thank you in advance!

Best regards,

Smarty73

Dirty flashing one (custom) rom over another will break stuff in 999 of 1000 cases.

Don't do it.

The best way is to wipe data, system and boot (system and boot are not absolutely necessary, but addon.d on system might kick in without wiping it) and set up everything again.

Always make a full backup of all partitions, just to be sure.

I have a FN myself, sim is working fine, but mobile hotspot does not really work, at least you have to restart the device after switching it off.

And if I charge the phone it kills my internal, and sometimes my external memory, and I have to reboot to get it back. This never happens without charging. I did not find the reason. This might be related to my setup or a low ram issue, because it does not happen on my J5.6 test device with more ram and less apps. But it might also be some kind of hardware issue off my device.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Smarty73:
Thank you.

How do I do this: (and I didn't understand the middle part of the scentence after "but")

>>The best way is to wipe data, system and boot (system and boot are not absolutely necessary, but addon.d on system might kick in without wiping it) and set up everything again.

I did already install TWRP (twrp-3.4.0-0-j5nlte.img.tar) when installing the Lineage. Can I use this one for it or do I have to install something else?

What I think should be done:

> Restart the mobile in TWRP-mode (do I have to set USB-port to debugging first?)

> perform System Recovery

> wipe data, system and boot (how do I wipe boot? TWRP doesn't show this to me. What about DALVIK?)

> install your ROM,

> install GooglePlayStore (where do I get this? I have one file, but that was for the Lineage ROM. Can't use here, I guess?)

> Reboot system from TWRP

Is this correct?

If everything works, I can tell you, wether I have the same problem for charging or not.

greetings,

Martin

[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] ferreraiury05:
When I installed it, I just wiped System, Data, Cache (I think it was the only thing I did) and it's working fine.

About Playstore, did you download custom Gapps package? I used BitGapps and don't have any problems.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] hasangillani66:
the gapps doesnt have android 11 option

bitgapps has that option
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Tajil:
Bro, the 8th page here, has an answer for U.

But, here is a link of openGapps for Android 11:

Note:

So far, on R cases, BitGapps has "won" on progressive maintenances and updates categories.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Smarty73:
Thank you for the answers. So I will choose BitGapps R17.

One more question: Is the version of TWRP important, unimportatnt or is it necessary to even match the ROM? I did already install TWRP 3.4.0 (twrp-3.4.0-0-j5nlte.img.tar) when installing the Lineage before. Can I use this one for install the Bliss ROM or do I have to install / downgrade to 3.3.1 (because this one is shown in the download page for the Bliss ROM)
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Tajil:
The latest version is R26, here it is:

BiTGApps

For bliss OS R based, I myself using the TWRP_3.3.1-0_j5lte_20200215_135703_jenslody version, so no error occured when flashing.

If this the first time for U, I suggest using TWRP from Bro Jens (TWRP_3.3.1-0_j5lte_20200215_135703_jenslody.img).

Later on, after the rom flashed successfully, U could upgrade the TWRP in to the latest one. I myself now using TWRP 3.5.2-9 + BlissOS R.

This trick works well for me, especially if we dont want to bother xperimenting and configuring manually the ROM to suit the TWRP version. (U could downgrade the TWRP too if needed--But, take a note if U use some features that only available in the latest TWRP version only).

For myself, TWRP version in about compatibility first, then the features.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Smarty73:
OK, so if I get you correct (my English is not perfect), you suggest that I use the TWRP_3.3.1-0_j5nlte_20200215_135609_jenslody

Is there some risk by downgrading the TWRP? (because I think that is what I will do when going to this version)

and a second question:

Is this (the installation of the TWRP_3.3.1...) done exactly the same way like it was when I installed the TWRP on the first time? Or do I have to remove the TWRP_3.4.0.0 first?
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] jenslody:
You can try to keep your version (3.4) and see whether you can flash the rom or not.

Take a backup before.

And you can install "my" TWRP through the existing one and vice versa.

Use the .img-version of it and click TWRP's install-button and chose image witg the bottom-right button.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Smarty73:
Hi again and thank you!

I just installed the Bliss ROM using TWRP 3.4.0.0 Worked nicely, no problem at all. (y)

First I took a backup with TWRP, then rebooted into recovery, next I wiped dalvik, data, cache and system.

Next I installed Bliss ROM, next BitGAPPS. Finally Wipe cache/dalvik and reboot to System.

EVERYTHING WORKS! And the strtup-screen looks really amazing! I didn't find any bug yet (after nearly five minutes !! :D ) But if I find something, I will report it.

jenslody, you did some great work, thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Smarty73:
uups, unfortunately I just found a big problem (I don't know wether it is related to the ROM, or BitGapps or something else):

I started the PlayStore and because I want to set up this mobile for my kid, I created a new google account. This requires Family Link to be installed, which is then started automatically, but somehow the app always crashed or repeat the last step when activating Google Family Link-Manager. So I can't use the Play Store, which leads to the fact that I can't install anything. :cry:
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Tajil:
try another BitGapps version

or

try OpenGapps Instead

I Suggest, Do a Factory Format first, then flash the Bit/Open Gapps

Have a "Clean" Base is usefull for Diagnose the problem might occur.

If that doesn't work,

Download the APK file of Family Link (just Googling it), then install it. See what would happen!

If that still doesn't work too,

Try installing alternative app manager like: fdroid, aptoide, apkpure, etc etc etc ..... then, install family link from it.

If that doesn't budge too,

Try Xperimenting different version of BlissOS + Bit/Open Gapps

GoodLuck Bro !
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Smarty73:
Thank you for all the suggestions!

That's really great.

I have some questions for it:

What is a factory format / how is it done?

How can I install another BitGapps version or something like that? I guess I have to delete the old one first? Is this possible from TWRP? Or should I wipe everything and install Bliss and next BitGapps again?

And one more idea:

I found out that some other apps also can't be installed and I was wondering whether they require some other app or service, which is normally included in the stock ROM, but not initially in Bliss. For example a browser or pdf reader. My idea was that some app wanna call some pdf or Internet page for showing the rules or something. Or maybe some service app. Might that be possible?

[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Smarty73:
Hi, it's me again.

I tried out a lot:

- Factory format

- Try out the R17, R19 and R26 version from bitgapps. (link for R27 was empty)

- Install OpenGapps instead

- Install from APK file

Result is always same: can't be installed. Download is finished 100% and then it crashes or stoppes. Is it possible that there is different versions of this application, depending on the type of mobile and because it is a custom rom the wrong one is selected? Or maybe the apps are not even suitable for the hardware but because of the custom rom they don't recognize it themselfs?

Bro,

Have U tried out:

1.Another version of that apk (familylink.apk) ?

for example:

https://m.apkpure.com/google-family-link-for-parents/com.google.android.apps.kids.familylink

Just go down below, u will find other version of it !

2.Another app store like fdroid, aptoide etc ... ?

3.Another version of BlissOS R based ?
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Tajil:
bro,

if U have turned on all wifi-gps related settings from settings menu, but the problem persist, then, try to troubleshoot it with app gps stuff, e.g:

gps-fix.apk , wifi-fix.apk (example name only).

Just googling it or in U r app store.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Smarty73:
Thank you for your reply.

Well, first you have to see that there are two different apps:

The one that you suggest (family-link-for PARENTS) has to be installed at the parent's phone. What I need on the Custom-Rom-phone is the one for the kids: - family-link-for-kids. And yes, I tried different ways for that as well (apk file as well.)

Actually the download itself works and MAYBE (?) the installation itself as well, but it crashed during the setup procedure (I don't know whether this is still a part from the Gapps/Bitgapps/etc. installation or this is only related to the app?)

I also tried out

- install and use aptoide instead of gapps

- install google play services, google play store and google download manager, as I thought they might be needed for this app as well (I was just guessing)

But it doesn't work. During the install or setup procedure it always crashes or repeates the same steps.

There is other apps as well (I tried only few) which show the problem, that after download 100% the installation not even starts. For example some little games, like "Miraculous" or "Angry birds 2". The download-app (gapps, aptoide or whetever) just stuck at showing 100% or sometimes even go to show INSTALL, but if you click it it is stuck or will start to download it again.

I don't know, but I guess that something is missing in this custom ROM in comparison to the stock ROM, which might be needed to install those apps. Maybe it's just a little thing or something I need to install first, before downloading these apps?
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Tajil:
hmmm...simply, it's just not compatible with this ROM, Need a Deep Diagnose.

I Myself couldn't install softmaker freeoffice 2021 for instance, But the old version Works Well!

Ofcourse, there are several apps & games which I Failed to install, though, somehow I managed to find its alternatives.

Thank you. İ will try it for this rom when İ have time.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] jenslody:
A new build is online (see OP for links as usual).

Several Rom changes, and of course July security patch.

The build is still permissive, because it simply does not work fully in enforcing mode.

It took me some time to make it boot (no avc denials have been in logcat), but Wifi is broken and that's a no-go for me.

So if you try to run it in enforcing mode and you get it booting (the relevant changes are still in device-sepolicy) you will most likely have a partly broken rom.

This is the first update after two months and it might be the last one.

There is a reason I was not able to do updates the last two months and this reason is still valid (the only difference is, that I'm back home with fast internet), and I have to take care of myself.

And I`m extremly frustrated at the moment, because to me some users seem to be very demanding, but nearly nobody gives anything back.

I cannot use the phone at all. (İt happened in 12 hours slowly when I use the phone and do settings ) I wrote from the computer. I guess I don't have any backup. I need to go back to stock rom.
