[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] hodhodtn:
I wanted to write a comment to give some feedback that could be useful to the developer and the other users.

Background : Owning a Samsung J500H for almost 6 years now. I've used the stock ROM for 5 whole years until I couldn't use it anymore because of storage issues. I started using LineageOS 17.1 a year ago. It solved the storage issue and added a lot of features that I enjoyed (Dark mode, night mode etc...). It wasn't the smoothest experience but it was okay-ish. Let's say that I've got used to some of its bugs and lags. I also have to pinpoint that I was using some heavy apps like Google, Google assistant, Truecaller and Assistive touch that didn't help with the phone's speed.

Feedback : I've seen this new thread few days ago and I noticed that the DEV seems to be pretty engaged with the project (fast releases and fixes). That's why I decided to jump on the train and give LineageOS 18.1 a shot. A BIG THANK YOU TO "daviiid99" by the way ! After 2 days of using the rom with the same apps I used to use with LineageOS 17.1, the phone was obnoxiously slow and almost unusable. It was so slow that the phone couldn't wake up fast enough when receiving a phone call which made me miss few calls (nothing important though lol). That's why I decided to get rid of the Google app and the Google Assistant (I only used them for the weather forecast and to read some useless news). Now, the phone seems to run smoothly even though Truecaller is still a bit annoying despite it not being my main phone app (I use it to identify unknown phone numbers). As I said, without the Google app (and the assistant) the phone is really good with all features running. That's why I wouldn't recommend other users to download the Google app.

The only 2 minor issues I seem to have are : the battery usage seems to have increased compared to LineageOS 17.1 and everytime I reboot my phone some icons disappear from the homescreen. Which is curious, it's usually the apps that were moved to my SD card that tend to disappear from my homescreen.

This was my experience with LineageOS 18.1 for few days. Thank you Mr daviiid99 again and keep going ! I hope it provides some useful information to the DEV and the other users. Have a nice day.

Edit : I still didn't install the build that was released today.

Thank you daviiid99 for another update. Does this mean that now we can use banking apps without using magisk hide?
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] carlos974:
Dirty flash, works fine! (y)

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] kay16:
Thank u so much. On all of ur updates one thing i forgot to mention is overheating and battery life reduction. If those problems are fixed i say this is the best custom rom for j5 series. Good luck with all your work.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Guillox22:
The latest update out there improves that aspect, but if it would be something extraordinary and I believe that it would be the ideal point of this rom, which consumes less battery and therefore generates less temperature, thank you very much for keeping our devices updated (Google Translate)
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] daviiid99:
The battery usage may be related to Google Apps, for heating I need to address some denials
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] daviiid99:
Sadly no, but you can use Magisk Hide now
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Guillox22:
Doesn't the temperature problem cause the battery to drain faster?
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] daviiid99:
I need to check it, could be GApps heating the device and draining it faster. Idk
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Guillox22:
1 - As a previous comment said to be able to remove the apps so that they occupy less can be a solution or only have the fundamental apps for their operation, I think you are using the oppengapps v.11 pico.

2 - I have seen some developments of other cell phones that were developing the kernel, according to I have seen that it improves the work of the processor by lowering the temperature of the processor and obtaining better use of the battery

3 - Make an undervolt if possible in this version
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] kay16:
Gapps included in the rom maybe the reason causing the heat. because on bliss rom from jenslody battery life and the temperature is excellent. so if u could release an update without gapps that would be amazing.. always grateful for your hard work and dedication 😍
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] daviiid99:
Thanks for testing

I'll not remove the GApps cause flashing the wrong packages could lead to a bootloop for most people

But I'll address some issues for sure
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] fatdee:
Opengapps v.11 pico...without wallpaper package and message and email from 17.1....

Thats my opnion.....thanks for 17.1 beta...
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] daviiid99:
Wallpaper package and email are replaced by Google Apps that's the reason you can't find the default Los apps
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Shiningb:
First of all thanks for the dev for maintaining our device active through this development

I'm keeping up with this topic and I want to use this ROM as soon as possible!

The Bluetooth in the "Not Working" section says that it is in this state for enforcing builds... are there permissive builds that Bluetooth is working properly? What about the Hotspot feature?

I'm sorry if this has been asked already around here
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] daviiid99:
Yes, bluetooth is working only on permissive builds for now.

I'll fix it for the next release

Hotspot it's just a pain, tried some workarounds with no luck.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] ElsaJ:
hi, theres problem with my sim card after last update. i can see sim card menu app but it doesnt ask me pin or sees my card
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] daviiid99:
Try to remove the pin before updating, for me the sim card is recognized and working and I can made calls
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] ElsaJ:
still not working, i can use it on another device
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] daviiid99:
Don't worry, I'll push an OTA update with permissive builds

Enforcing builds have some bugs to be address and this will take time.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] ElsaJ:
okay, thank u. any ETA tho?
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] daviiid99:
Update: I pushed an OTA update with the last permissive build, the last enforcing build has some bugs to be addressed and it's not recommended for daily driver.

If you don't care about broken mobile data and bluetooth, use enforcing

If you need all the hardware working, use permissive builds
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] ElsaJ:
so how do i go back to lower version? with recovery?
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] carlos974:
If you made a backup before go to twrp and restore.

Otherwise install the rom (dirty flash)
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] daviiid99:
Just download the ota update and reboot
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] ElsaJ:
getting error for that one.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] daviiid99:
Dirty flash permissive above enforcing works fine
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Loiseleur75:
m dear daviiid99, Thanks for your work. can you tell me how to do an automatic update, because for me it didn't work. j5nlte. can you put a quick tutorial please
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] daviiid99:
1.- Flash twrp recovery with Odin or Heimdall (search online for detailed turorials)

2.- In your phone, open the "Updater" app from the apps drawer and download the latest OTA from today.

3.- Reboot your phone when prompted and cross your fingers
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] daviiid99:
I've fixed your issue with enforcing builds.

I'll release an update this weekend.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Loiseleur75:
m thank you so much. your Rom. is superb.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Haxival:
Hello, I've been trying your builds since the 18.0 for fun, but yesterday my dad needed a quick replacement phone for a day so I did some research and came across this update that had RIL working (which, of course, was essential to him). Everything works fine but battery life is non existent; the percentage drop by the second and the phone takes forever to charge: any clue on why that happens? It's practically unusable.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Loiseleur75:
I don't want to lose data from my apps. How to proceed with the OTA update.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Guillox22:
Doesn't your cell phone get very hot from daily use?
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] wesley xd:
After some testing I found these bugs:Brightness bar is not calibrated, Brightness between 1% and 15% does not change anything.

The other bug is in the animations of the status bar that has a bit of a delay is not fluid.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] daviiid99:
This is not related to my rom, try to replace your battery
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] daviiid99:
It's the expected performance with a 6 years old low-end device

Overall performance improved a lot with ZRAM and GO configs but its not perfect

For the brightness, I'll check if I can add more levels
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] daviiid99:
I can't do anything to cool the device, maybe its related to ZRAM but removing it makes the phone laggy and unusable

I'm happy with the actual performance, I don't think that the phone will explode or anything by heavy use of virtual memory
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] daviiid99:
Update for enforcing builds:

I've fixed the SIM issues, including all SIM functionallity and mobile data.

Also Widevine L3 is working now

I'll release a new build as soon I can fix the bluetooth
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Haxival:
You sure? Battery drain was fine on 18.1 and the phone charged normally too.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] hodhodtn:
Day 6 of using the permissive build released in 24.09.2021 : My experience so far and the problems faced with the phone :

- Battery drain is really high ! I'm reaching "low bettery level" at around 3 p.m. I used LineageOS 17.1 for a whole year and didn't have such drain.

- The usage of hungry and heavy apps (Goggle app, Google assistant, Truecaller etc..) that run in the background makes the phone almost unusable...Yes, I know the device is old but it used to be somewhat usable with LineageOS 17.1 (even though it was a pain in the a** sometimes). Now that I want a smooth experience with LineageOS 18.1 I got rid of them. I know there is nothing that can be done here but it's worth mentioning I guess.

- Shortcuts in the homescreen of apps that are "stored" in the SD card (even though I used the shared storage option) always disappear everytime I restart the phone.

- Stock camera app always says that the SD card is disconnected and that internal memory will be used...I just wanted to mention it even though I'm now trying another camera app.

- Android seems to "forget" some "authorisations" for some apps. I have that a lot with my "assistive touch app"

- The Bluetooth works just fine but for some reason I have to delete the link and pair my phone with the car's BT everytime I reboot my phone, otherwise it just tells me "connexion failed". With LineageOS 17.1 I didn't have this issue and the 2 devices (car and phone) paired automatically as soon as I activated my Bluetooth no matter how many times I reboot my phone.

Anyways, good job daviiid99 for making a relatively stable ROM in such a short time ! And thank you A LOT for your efforts ! One last "stupid question" : What is ZRAM ? Do you recommend enabling it ? If yes, how ?
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] daviiid99:
Zram is enabled by default.

The heavy use of battery by GApps it's just a pain, but Google apps background activity is huge.

I can remove all Google services but a phone without googleapps isn't usable for most users.

Including a prebuilt GApps package with limited apps and removed LineageOS apps we can optimize the performance
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] daviiid99:
Could be the GApps but this is not on my side, it's Google's fault
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Guillox22:
You could have 2 roms, one with applications and another without applications to be able to test, logically make it clear that it is for testing
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] daviiid99:
Ironically Google Apps can break hardware support, that's why I include them for testing too, to check that everything works.

As soon my enforcing builds are bugless like permissive I'll release vanilla builds too
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Guillox22:
- We would have to make a comparison of consumption between lineageOS 17.1 and this new version of lineageOS 18.1 to see where the excessive consumption is, we could take photos with the use of the same applications and compare

- You noticed a difference when removing them Goggle, Google assistant, Truecaller, I think it is necessary to replace it with another browser. I currently have lineageOS 17.1 and google is heavy for me to navigate so I use brave. I think there are many google apps that are very heavy.

- We would have to make temperature comparisons between both versions

It is excellent what the developer daviiid99 is doing since it is giving an extra life to our depositions
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] daviiid99:
I've released a new update for my enforcing builds with bugfixes, check bugs list for remaining bugs :)

Note: this update will not be pushed via OTA update
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Loiseleur75:
merci pour votre travaille c'est super votre ROM. Je vous explique mes remarque constaté afin d'amélioré votre ROM. Aprés la mise a jours (Uptader 27/08/2021), mon appareille a éffacé le (Recovery TWRP) et resté en mode (Recovery LineageOS) . je ne sais pas utilisé le Mode Recovery LineageOs. Et il n'existe pas de tutoriel pour utilisé ce mode recovery lineagos. A chaque fois je suis obligé d'installé manuellement a partire de zero tous les application ainsi que familly link pour mon enfant . Pouvez vous s'ils vous plait me guidé vers des tutoriel afin d'installer la mise a jours automatiquement la prochaine fois. loiseleur75.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] daviiid99:
It's a known issue with ota updates, use TWRP instead

hi dev cant i request in the next update bring back na default messaging app of lineageOS 18 in my country philippines we used alot in texting, i try the messenger app but not working without data or wifi..over all the ROm is good
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] daviiid99:
Did you try Google messages?

Google Messages - Apps on Google Play

Simple, helpful messaging by Google

play.google.com
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] lhanz:
yup i try that it is like messenger app need wifi and data connection, the default messaging app need load in Sim to work ,not wifi or data connection
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] mzubairtariq:
Nope the google messges does not require any wifi or data connection it uses your sim load. Clearly you have not tried the app that dev has mentioned

Remarque pour Samsung j5nlte :

Merci encore pour votre travail. Je veux donner ce smartphone à mon enfant. J'ai l'habitude d'installer le contrôle parental Family link sur d'autres appareils. Malgré mes connaissances, j'ai bien suivi les bonnes procédures pour créer un compte pour mon enfant.

" Activer Family Link Manager

Vous allez activer Family Link Manager

Cette étape obligatoire permet aux parents

de gérer cet appareil via Family link. "

"Ce gestionnaire de profil est requis

pour les comptes Google gérés avec

Lien familial"

J'ai donné une autorisation administrative à un lien familial.

Sur mon smartphone Android je voix bien le compte enfants créé. Mais il m'affiche que :"L'appareil de mon enfant n'est pas prête."

A cause de ça je ne peux pas installer le contrôle parental. Et ni utiliser play store car il bloque dans cette procédure finale.

J'avais réussi à installer avec votre ROM du 19092021 mais je préfère utiliser votre dernier ROM a jour.

Pouvez vous faire une correction s'il vous plaît Merci

Translated by GT:

Note for Samsung j5nlte:

Thanks again for your work. I want to give this smartphone to my child. I am used to installing Family link parental controls on other devices. Despite my knowledge, I followed the correct procedures to create an account for my child.

"Activate Family Link Manager

You will activate Family Link Manager

This mandatory step allows parents

to manage this device via Family link. "

"This profile manager is required

for Google accounts managed with

Family link"

I have given administrative authorization to a family link.

On my Android smartphone I can clearly see the children account created. But it shows me that: "My child's device is not ready."

Because of this I cannot install parental controls. And neither use play store because it hangs in this final procedure.

I had successfully installed with your ROM from 19092021 but I prefer to use your latest updated ROM.

Can you make a correction please Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] daviiid99:
If it's a bug related to Google services I'd need a miracle to fix something that's not on my side.

Try to catch a logcat to see what's happening
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Loiseleur75:
Malheureusement je ne peux pas installer d'application "logcat" car comme il n'installe pas le compte, il bloque le play store.

Translated by GT: Unfortunately I cannot install a "logcat" application because as it does not install the account, it blocks the play store.

This isn't an issue of my rom, I can login with my Google Account and install everything

Under windows:

Install Samsung device drivers and then

the ADB utils from here:

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2588979

Then enable developer mode, connect your phone to usb,

and from cmd paste this command:

adb logcat > %userprofile%/Desktop/logcat.txt

then try to reproduce the bug.

* The logcat file will be on your desktop.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] daviiid99:
New update is available, permissive builds are now discontinued.

Bluetooth is working normally with enforcing, this means no more critical bugs remaining and the ROM status is stable now.

As always, for minor bugs you can catch a logcat and report it

I would like to know something about this unofficial metod. Can you PM me a link please?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Dkpost3:
this only works on mtk, I strongly advise against it, because with this you break the loader. (You can stay without IMEI, and so on)

Requires python 3.9+pip and git

git clone https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient
cd mtkclient
pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Download usb dk from here and install it.

Check the device connection using "UsbDkController -n", if you see a device with 0x0E8D 0x0003, then everything is ok.

[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] mvarejao:
Hi,

I read some information from users who do not have 5G available and Volte on calls.

Is this a problem that phone operators can fix or will a OnePlus fix be needed?

Thanks
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Pouic:
5G compatibility with missing carriers/ISP can only be fixed by OTA from OnePlus

VoLTE + WifiCalling can be fixed by OTA too or once we gain root in the future and we can modify radio system files ourselves
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] mvarejao:
Any idea when it is going to happen?
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] skyzonemc:
Is there a way to fix this now?
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] cerfaaa:
VoLTE activation procedure on OnePlus Nord 2 5G:

If NoRoot:

1. Get ready to use the adb command

2. adb reboot recovery And reboot to recovery

3. When the language selection screen appears, you will be able to connect to adb, so wait until the driver setup is completed.

* If ⚠ is displayed in the device manager, the driver cannot be loaded, so right-click and see Update Driver → Computer. Search for the driver → Available on your computer ~ → Android Device → Load the Android Composite ADB Interface.

If that doesn't work, try plugging and unplugging the cable or using the USB 2.0 port.

4. Execute the following command line by line

adb root

adb shell setprop persist.dbg.ims_volte_enable 1

adb shell setprop persist.dbg.volte_avail_ovr 1

adb shell setprop persist.dbg.vt_avail_ovr 1

adb shell setprop persist.radio.VT_ENABLE 1

adb reboot

After restarting, "VoLTE call" will appear in the SIM settings, so turn it on.

If Rooted:

1. Install Termux from GP

2. Enter "su"

3.

setprop persist.dbg.ims_volte_enable 1

setprop persist.dbg.volte_avail_ovr 1

setprop persist.dbg.vt_avail_ovr 1

setprop persist.radio.VT_ENABLE 1

setprop persist.dbg.wfc_avail_ovr 1

reboot
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] frgo:
I have volte calls enabled by default but still doesnt work. Probably you also need support from your carrier and one plus will never exist for my carrier.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] maddy.oberoy:
Hi,

I bought my phone three months back. Ever since the last update Version Name - WW18.0840.2106.86 my wifi and Hotspot just won't turn on.

I have been through the asus forum and seems like alot of customers are facing this issue.

One of them confirmed that even after replacing motherboard the issue persists. Others are facing air trigger issues after replacing the motherboard.

Just wanted to know if anyone here is facing similar issues.

DO let me know your thoughts on should I visit service center and Get my motherboard replaced or should I wait for the next update. My current Version Name - WW18.0840.2107.151

PS: My phone is not rooted

Thanks
