No, sorry
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Phenom23:
what does it mean in practise? It can not handle phone calls and sms? And also, in what frequency does the cpu and gpu run at?
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] daviiid99:
No SIM.

Everything runs like stock, there's no overclocked if that's what do you mean
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Phenom23:

Hello bro, I have a j53gxx and everything seems to be fine, but the device gets hot suddenly without using it too much at all which I didn't have with your android 11 rom. And for most the biggest problem I have is with the Bluetooth connectivity, it connects to my headphones then says there was a problem and sound doesn't come out of the headphones. Please help me to fix this.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] daviiid99:

SM-J500FN

It just sits in bootloop for 10-20 minutes, vibrate, reboot and again bootloop.

Same story without gaaps, with gapps.

Full wipe, super full wipe (wiping every partition).

On twrp 3.3.1-0 (or something like that), on updated newest twrp.

Even same story with your Los 18.1.

Previously I was using Los on Android 9.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] daviiid99:
Are you using the latest build 2022/04/18?

My test device is a J500FN and I can confirm you that the latest build is working.

You need marshmallow bootloader to boot the ROM, check that
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] wszebor:
It was bootloader fault. I flashed with Odin bootloader from marshmallow and i t booted just fine.

[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Sksith:
hello how are you davied a question for when you can fix the RIL, another question this version of LiniageOs comes with play store certification or do I have to activate it manually. Since I am now using version 18.1 and I have many problems to certify the play store I have tried everything with Magisk all the modules all the youtube tutorials and nothing, I cannot pass the CTS profiler marth it is the only test that I cannot pass the others test if I pass it without problems, but if I don't pass the CST I can't download or use Netflix from the play store, if not by apk mode I wait for your answer thanks. By the way great work with the latest stable version of LiniageOs 18.1 I only found a few small bugs but nothing serious from another world very fluid. I hope that with this version I will be able to make it stable so that I can download it and be able to replace version 18.1. Great job keep it up if you have to send you a coffee send me your address...
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] uLove:
another nice work but a bad bug i found.

battery charging is very slow vs stock version.

phone: J500G XME MM

LOS :

2022-04-18
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] daviiid99:
Charging have been slow on custom roms for years. The lack of proprietary stuff + newer Android versions with heavy battery usage.

I doubt that I can do anything to increase it like stock 🔋
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] wszebor:
So suddenly the phone crashed big time, vibrated, rebooted and is constantly in bootloop (los boot animation). Sending the logs. I know that this is not a stable rom and RIL is not working. Didin't care about that much, but crash and then 0% chance to boot phone again - Wipe or bootloop is just too much. I gonna do a downgrade to Los 18.1.

Bless!
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] daviiid99:
You need to send a logcat and tell whatever you did before the crash

No one reported a crash before.

Also are you on latest build?
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] wszebor:
Latest build. I attached log in earlier post.

PS: I'm attaching the logs and nothing.... lol

PS2: Can't do wipe in TWRP

Failed to mount '/data' (Invalid argument)

Failed to mount '/cache' (Invalid argument)

Failed to mount '/system' (Invalid argument)

Unable to mount storage

This is gettng better and better ....
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] daviiid99:
Looks like you ****ed your partitions, this is not a rom issue at all.

It can not even mount the partition.

You might do something wrong the last time to restored stock rom
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] wszebor:
So the phone was working just fine for months on previous los (android 9), then I installed your rom. It was working ok (with bugs) for day and half, then it crashed when it was not in use. Now I see only bootloop and is not working and you are saying THAT I F***ED my partitions ??? hah good one. Of course is the rom fault. Better question is how can I repair it.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] reggyxt:
i believe you're the first one to encounter this issue, can't say it's the rom's fault though
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] daviiid99:
Last week you told me that you restored stock rom

This issue is related to encryption, did you create the partitions properly?
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] wszebor:
I don't see any instructions on your original post so I just flashed bootloader and modem from Marshmallow with odin. Wiped, than flashed Los 19.1 in newest TWRP.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] daviiid99:
It's better to flash stock rom and create partitions again then wipe data, system and flash LineageOS
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] wszebor:
Create what partitions ?

I only see "ROM Firmware Required: marshmallow" on original post.

Edit: Ok, soo I gonna flash marhmallows bootloader and modem with Odin. What's next? What partitions do I need to create before flashing Los 19.1

There are a few ways of doing it. Total Commander is supposed to do it but I can't get it to work. HTC Network Plugin is working for me, using the build 30468 version posted in this thread.

Hi mate, the way i use is completely poweroff device and hold 3 key at the same time and plug usb cable while mtkclient is running.

There's a new app that installed itself automatically on my p6 pro. It's probably linked to the upcoming March Feature Drop (night sight available in certain third party apps).

It seems like Google has made a new framework, to give devs the ability to implement gcam with more ease.

Playstore link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.camera.services

This is great news for third party cam mods. Getting GCam features is the last hurdle that many custom cam mods faced, since they had a hard time rivalling Googles computing algorithm.

It is indeed 🙂

Why is everyone trippin over Pixel Camera Services? It was included in the A12 update and installed on all pixels. It just wasn't used until now. Doesn't anybody check their apps list regularly anymore?

all jokes aside, hopefully G will make it easier to implement the camera2 api package for third party apps (starting with SnatChap) so image quality should improve.

I have now 2 Hermes - one O2 and one Orange and i bought both in ebay.

I´m going to keep the O2 and sell the other. In O2 i have wm5.0 and in the Orange the wm6.1 and i suspect maybe a different ROM and some other programs ( for the battery for example).

I noticed that the Orange consumes very little power compared to the O2.

This can be because the software and/or because the battery itself.

This is the specs:

O2 -> 3.7VDC - 1300mAh "Manufactured by SANYO" in china

Orange-> 3.7VDC - 1350mAh "Manufactured by Celxpert Energy" in Taiwan.

Should i change them ? What do you think ?

p.s. i noticed too that in the Running programs i have always a lot of programs in the O2 even when i already closed them (am i doind something wrong?) and with the Orange that never happens.

Fairly simple mate.

Install Windows Mobile Device Center if you haven't already.

Find a version of 6.1 that you like or try a bunch of them (that's the best way)... when your looking at the forum that this post is made in you'll know that your looking at a ROM because the post title will tell you that it's a ROM. Don't download developer builds or anything that says "beta" until you know what your doing.

Once you have your ROM ready make sure your battery is at at least 50% (that's the standard answer, I've installed with as little as 20%, but it's my phone to F up so if you F up your phone by not following the 50% rule, that's on you).

Sync your phone with Windows Mobile Device Center and leave your phone connected.

Run the EXE usually named something like RUUWrapper.exe and follow the onscreen instructions.

Ba-da-bing you've got a new ROM installed.

Hope this helps mate.
