hi daviiid99 happy day to you

I have two questions

1- I need to partition the memory card

APPS2SD Program

Can I in f2fs format

Or should I do it in ext4 format

2- And the file system on this ROM is ext4 or f2fs

I watched videos about flashing f2fs

@daviiid99 hi n sorry for mentioning, but which version of your LOS port is better from your experience to daily drive on between LOS18,19, and your recent 20 ? would love to hear your opinion if you don't mind sharing
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] yngStigg:
Best Lineage port so far!

it simply works and I like it a lot, I was disappointed from your Lineage 20 and 19 releases as they lacked battery life and responsivity, But this is a lot better!

Battery when unused is BLOOD COLD, I left it off for 2 hours and it only lost like 5 percent charge! Even when using it the battery life is amazing.

The System apps is not laggy at all, Animations are smooth as butter and it all works together!

So far I haven't come across a single bug! 10/10!
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] daviiid99:
I think 18.1 is better for now until I get everything addressed on android 13, wait a few months from now before flashing 13

Thank you for the advice. I have flashed your release 20 from 2022-09-28 and had problems with battery (the phone is warm/hot event when not using it for hours), and also stability problems (apps close). Will try flashing this 18.1 asap.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] artigasperez:
Device encription does not work in this rom. Phone is stuck in "bootloop", just show the lineage boot animation for a second and it reboots.

I had solved it, taking the batery out, booting into odin mode and flashing TWRP (somehow the Lineage 18.1 recovery overwrited the previous TRWP image, but i didnt rembemer how i did it).

Then wiping /data and installing this ROM again.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] alisadty:
Hello brother in twrp

First, delete these parts in the wipe_advances wipe section and then install the ROM

I got the newest version. However, when i install the sim card, it shows the name of the carrier but says Emergency calls only. What should i do? I just got the new sim card.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] princearfi:
what type of device you use? have you follow this step?

if you want install this ROM with almost no errors, you should in stock rom first. then install TWRP with ODIN. then follow this steps:

put the ZIP ROM & suggested [GPlayStore] into your microSD

1. format [DALVIK CACHE], [DATA], [INTERNAL STORAGE], [CACHE]

2. backup folder [EFS] (i read on some article if this folder is for backup your original IMEI 1 & 2), [MODEM] & [APNHLOS]

then..

3. install the [ROM] first

4. then install suggested [GPlayStore]

5. do not format again after installation is successfull

6. restore your [EFS], [MODEM] & [APNHLOS] folder

final step..

7. reboot system as usual on your smartphone

8. just wait until finished all installation complete, then you will see the first welcome screen with big font
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] devboilol:
No worries, the carrier switched off 3G and 2G at my place.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] princearfi:
you better follow my instructions, because i get normal LTE work very well. not only 3G if you backup EFS, MODEM & APNHLOS first, from your original stock rom.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] devboilol:
I did the same thing, but no luck. I tried 3G on other phone but it's not working either.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] princearfi:
i am worried about your type of device. because you're not answering my question about the type of your device. you should know your device properly & very detail to know what is best for your device.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] devboilol:
Oh sorry, mine is a j53gxx
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] princearfi:
ok then, maybe you should go back to your stock rom. and make a backup just like what i said before. try again, follow my steps. because i got normal network, my LTE work well without any intervention. the only problem that i got is i have to install lineageOS message to bring back sms & mms function.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] devboilol:
What's your model?
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] princearfi:
my model is SM-J500G/j5lte
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] alisadty:
Brother, the way you said is correct, but for J500H, it will never be 4G or LTE because it is 3G.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] princearfi:
so i am not wrong when i tell to know his device properly & details. i just do not know if j500h is only 3g max.

so if @devboilol follow my steps & get your 3g work very well, then this rom is fit for your device.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] devboilol:
3G is not working in my area, i tested with another phone.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] princearfi:
battery temperature after using tiktok lite more than 1 hours.

but if idle mode with plug in charging, battery set to 35 degree. with minimal background services.

i see on the system apps, there are so many colors apk installed in system. it should can be removed all and make it only two colors black & blue or green, i think is enough.

honestly, normal temperature battery should be 20-35 degree.

there is a text file you can edit inside the rom zip you downloaded, but i don't know what you should put in there for korean j5. Maybe check twrp to see if it says something.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] qqxdairi:
battery life issue is caused mainly by zram and a package for nfc on devices that don't support it and you can only disable these by rooting the phone. Also there is not enough ram for gapps in android 11 if you disable zram, so you should use android 9 or lower.

I downloaded and installed your ROM about 2 weeks ago and everything was fine (worked 100%), but quite recently I realized that the battery is taking forever to charge. I plug it in at 3 pm while it is at 34% and at 8 pm the phone is only at 72%. While I was on the latest Stock Rom for the J500F I did not have this issue and I am still using the same charging brick with the same cable to charge the same phone. I was just wondering if it is the Device or the ROM (kernel) ?
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] qqxdairi:
there is a bug where it says x% but it's actually 100% just plug it off and use it like normal sometimes it fixes itself.

So far the rom is excellent, and I haven't run into problems aside from the ones mentioned in previous builds. I do have a suggestion to make a Lineage GO build without GApps since not much functionality will be lost (except for GApps which I disabled anyway) in exchange for freeing some much needed ram and space on the internal storage
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] daviiid99:

[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] daviiid99:
The camera should be working for everyone now

Did you check if your camera work with stock or other rom? If you can't maybe it's a hardware fault.

This error usually means that the camera hardware is not connected

Catch a log too to see what's happening but for me it's working perfect and no one reported this issue yet.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] daviiid99:
It's hard to say since your phone isn't supported, but searching on the net looks like it's a dual-SIM model

You'll be fine using "j5ltechn"

But first, edit the updater-script to remove the device check.

Let me know If you need help with this

[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Manish3126:
Wow this new update made my phone really smooth in performance. And David I have one request. In my J500H phone the power button has a problem and I am sure this is a hardware problem because even in the stock rom this problem was happening. The problem is when I press the power button one time, the phone thinks that I pressed the power button two times and it opens the camera. This is so annoying and I am using the screen timeout to turn off the phone. So can you please please disable this feature in your next build. Even in the settings app there is no option to turn off this 'double press power button to open camera' Sorry for the long message
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] daviiid99:
I'll look into it for the next release
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] mzubairtariq:

Dear David, first of all i want to say thanks to you for your hardworking. I know keeping a 5-year-old device with regular updates is not an effortless task. I am so much grateful to you for that. I just want to say that I use banking apps daily and in your rom, I couldn't use any banking apps as all apps say that "your mobile is rooted" I used magisk hide in previous builds but now that you have said magisk seems to break the OS, I cannot use my banking apps anymore. Kindly if you could adjust the rom so that I can use banking apps without magisk then this will be a huge favor.

Thanks again for keeping our 5-year-old J5 alive.

Hi dev, this ROM is great and I can use it as a daily driver .... but I can ask you if you can also release a VANILLA version please? (Without Gapps) That would make it even faster and with more storage ...

[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] daviiid99:

[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] daviiid99:
Removing the GApps will not make it faster, the rom is debloated and the Google Apps inside are just replacements of LineageOS parts.

I agree with the storage, but with zram enabled the performance is enough for most users :)

A new update is out, read the changelog carefully before flashing it.

If you face a bootloop after flashing it, you may need to perform a clean installation

SELinux enforcing is applying, this means your device is protected and limits access to software execution.

Some sepolicy denials still need to be addressed but this will be in the next update. I need to release this version for testing purpose and reporting bugs.
