Hi, can cellular data and WiFi still not be used now ?

In the latest builder currently lineage-20.0-20220928-UNOFFICIAL-j5lte.zip ?

does it works for you ?
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] djmdev:
I thought I'd update a J5 I have sitting around to test some new Android features with. It currently has Lineage OS 15.1 (Android 8.1). Both the J5 Updater and the Lineage OS updater in Android fail to find the update json file. The J5 updater just spins looking.

So I tried manually flashing the latest ROM download through twrp w/ a full wipe, install. It fails to boot after that though and gets stuck on a screen saying "Downloading". I was able to go back to 15.1 again but it seems like there is some step I need to move upward. Like do I need to repartition perhaps? I know Android added several new partition requirements after android 8 (vendor_boot, convert to A/B, super etc etc, IDK what lineage OS is using these days).

TIA.

I just installed Android 13 on my phone J500G. LineageOS 20 is running quite hard and even several times the UI doesn't respond, cellular data still doesn't work even though this project has passed 1 year and 2 months since the last project was uploaded. Not even 1 hour later I was back reinstall ROM SE8.5 which was much more stable and had almost no bug. Thank you for providing the Android 13 experience, but it seems like this phone's hardware isn't capable of running it well

Hey David!

I know i'm dumb, but i'm stuck on this,it wont boot or go to twrp, only the lineage recovery, do you know what i did wrong?

i was trying to factory reset to use the phone as a workphone

if you need any archive, log or anything plase tell me so i can provide it to you
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Sukron23:
Try install the latest TWRP https://twrp.me/samsung/j5lte.html
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Hellcore00:
Hey, thanks for the answer, i could install twrp again!

but i cant use the updater, it says it is up to date, how do i manually update the system?
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Sukron23:
You can install TWRP using Odin, you can also see it on YouTube
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Hellcore00:
oh no, i'm sorry if i worded that badly, i was talking about the lineage, twrp i could update with the guide and a youtube video

EDIT: I GOT IT, Settings > System > Advanced > Gestures > Power menu > Advanced restart showed the recovery option, ill try the update now

EDIT 2: i found a guide on how and updated everything, just a question, is the camera that laggy normally?
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Sukron23:
As I wrote in the comments above along with the photo I attached. I installed this ROM in less than an hour, then switched to another ROM, because the UI was very laggy and very uncomfortable to use. I also haven't tried the updater at all, I haven't even had time to open the camera application. If you are still on this ROM, please explore it yourself and give your experience here, maybe other users will help later

Did you try it using the Galaxy_J5_Updater tool? If this is your first install you can't use it. You have to install the ROM listed in David's post on page 1 with a custom recovery (twrp etc.).

Hi David My Samsung J5008 (j5ltechn) cannot be flashed to LineageOS version 20.0 (20220928) I'm stuck with version 19.1 and Bluetooth is not working!

I've tried flashing lineage-20.0-20220918-UNOFFICIAL-j5ltechnical.zip in TWRP and after rebooting the phone will keep rebooting if it's charging, showing a grey battery and a lightning bolt icon, but if I flash lineage-19.1-j5ltechnical-vanilla. zip, it shows the current charging progress when the phone is switched off and charging, which means that the system has been flashed, but the LineageOS 20 package doesn't.

Model: Samsung J5008(j5ltechn) 2015 1GB RAM+ 16GB ROM

Here's a recording of the phone model and Bluetooth not working:

(I'm now trying to work out how to flash LineageOS 20 and I'm not getting any errors from TWRP during the flashing process I'm not sure what logs I should be providing right now Can you tell me)

Could you please explain how to install this rom for the first time from the stock rom ..the last update of the rom doesnot appear in twrp as a file ..as if there is no rom at all ..and could u please tell me how to use j5 downloader ..thx in advance
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Joaomira47:
But the j5 downloader you need to download the rom from the update history then the latest than change log and download the version for your j5
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Kalenderadam:

I really like the rom you shared but I don't know how to install it, can you help me too?
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Joaomira47:

[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] raphaelgamer981:
this rom is only for the galaxy j5 2015, not for the galaxy j5 2016 (metal)
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Joaomira47:
The ROM is for the 2015 and 2016 versions even for me phone that is the 510MN i used for the 510FN
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] handynoobinator:
This rom works outstandingly well, very good job, thanks a lot. (did not test simcard)

Any explanation for this (may be OSMand related):

1. Osmand does install on HTC One M8s (32b+64b) with LineageOS but cant get gps fix. On HTC M7 (32b) with Linege it installs but crashes on start. On Galaxy J5 with Lineage it doesnt install at all.

https://f-droid.org/de/packages/net.osmand.plus/

Version 4.7.10 (471001) 32b: armeabi-v7a + 64b: arm64-v8a

also tried the old version from osmand website net.osmand-3.2.7.apk

2. On a Xgody G10 with fake 1GB Ram (0,5GB) and Fake 8GB Storage (1,5GB) only this installs and cant get gps fix:

net.osmand_4.0.8-408_minAPI15(armeabi-v7a)(nodpi)_apkmirror.com.apk

3. On many other phones it runs perfectly. Organic maps works on every phone! And its great!

Hello here,

Thanks for your ROM David, it was funny to test an android 13 shell on my old samsung J5 500M ^^.

Unfortunately, for me (and i think for most of people) this ROM isn't usefull at this state, due for some reasons :

- The battery drain seems important, i haven't tested without my cable powered off, but the smartphone was relatively hot during my tests, and not impossible than with the cable powered on, the drain was such important than my battery draining the power with the cable supply powered on ! Slowly, but effective.

- I think the hardware of this smartphone is too old for this shell,also with your good optimization.

- It have regularly some lags during the navigation, due to limited hardware again i think.

- Most important for me, the SIM slot works badly definitively.

I haven't tested my two slots, just checked the queue forum here and also your queue forum about lineage 19 with android 12, interesting history and i think this SIM case issue was the worth case than you have it during the development of this ROM ^^ .

So i understood than my first slot couldn't work with the data mobile.

Therefore i've tested the second slot, and with a manual configuration of APN, the data mobile works.

But again, it didn't the job correctly, H+ in better situation, between 2 and 6 mbps in downloading test, crash or between 0,1 and 0,5 mbps during the uploading test with the speedtest app, ununsable for my garage webcam project....unusable for most of situation...

And the time to download some apps for test confirm the speedtest app analyze.

It was pretty cool to test this ROM otherwise ;), but definitely, the best ROM for the J5 2015 if we don't need to some sensitive apps (bank for example) is lineage OS 17.1 after some tests.

The J5 2015 ROM doesn't works correctly on android 12 version and after, definitively.

Can you add android 14 ?
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Joaomira47:
I was thinking that way back this year but I think not because of its processor and low ram but a very limited port would work like the android 14 on the s3
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Amir_t2008:
Yes, you're right

Its proccesor isn't strong enough

Hi everyone!

I've just subscribed to the forum but I've been following this site for the past 2 years, since I've started snooping around softwares for smartwatches and other platforms.

I apologize if I should've made a presentation somewhere on the forum, but I'm writing here because I had an old j5 in my drawer and I decided to install LineageOS in it.

The installation apparently went OK, except for a little graphic bug when booting up the phone, but everything else seems to work fine!

There's just one little annoying thing, but I hardly believe it's the software's fault: the phone shuts down frequently due to overheating, even if the phone itself isn't so hot.

Do any of you guys have a remedy for this? Thanks in advance and thanks to the developers who made installing a custom ROM possible on this device!
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Roy_ouo:
I think we can consider rebuilding the system from scratch, because the system load is too high, and I think it may be a side effect of the transfer.（It use the google translate）🙂

Almost everything seems to run without any issues. except audio is coming through only SIM 1

and I dont know is this a Lineage related issue but advance restart options also not showing even i enable the option. and SD card is auto ejecting when i set the camera storage as SD card.

But david my friend this is ur third update on the newest android version for our very old device im really surprised u achieve this much perfection on android 13 for j5 in a really short period so we are not discouraging or trying to pin point ur mistakes or what not these are just friendly and very grateful notes from my experience using ur amazing hard work. regards...

Yep, these are lineageos features also
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Abdulrahmantaha:
Really appreciate your work,

But just 1 question: I am interested in tweaking devices and especially hardware stuff, I want to upgrade the battery as my j5 has no battery and I have a stack of 3 batteries in parallel "just consider that one big battery of 12000mAh" from a power bank and there are some difficulties like absence of BSI board "the protection circuit attached to the battery and this is a minor issue", but what causes a big problem is to introduce the new capacity to the phone, can u tell me what file exactly I have to modify manually to make the phone just boot and/or to know the exact capacity of the connected battery or it is like A12 ROMs in the path:

/sys/class/power_supply/battery/bms/charge_full

or It is even a kernel problem that requires a new recompile of the kernel?

I know a trick to make it boot without a battery so that I can flash the ROM and then modify stuff to make it accept the new battery.

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] daviiid99:
If this path worked for you on android 12, must be the same on android 13

Nothing changed
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Abdulrahmantaha:
just flashed the rom and rooted it "allow me to express my happiness, a13 on a device from 2015, even my new Xiaomi phone has no a13 till now"

anyway, i checked the root files and found that the same files of the previous rom are there "it was using the same kernel but A10"

So,

it is obviously a kernel-related tweak , i will give it a try when I get my hands on a protection board

Thanks for the rom
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] qscesza:
I installed this ROM

Almost can say it works without problems

Battery consumption is much better than ROM 18.1 ...

Not working to wake up the phone and not work on advanced restart, even though the option has been activated, was mentioned by friends before.

But the problem is:

The second SIM card receives SMS and calls, but after responding to the call , there is no sound on the second SIM card ... and the second SIM card antenna icon is always displayed empty.

I restarted several times and even reinstated the ROM, but the problem didn't fix.

This problem was previously resolved in other Costume ROMs that we would put the first SIM card in 3G mode and the second SIM card on 2G and the problem was fixed ... but in this ROM, there is no 2G network in the settings. ...

It's unlikely to be fixed soon since I only own a sim card for testing.

Hello and thank you for keeping our phone alive! Excellent job!

I want to mention that in my phone model j510fn 2016 , with only one sim inserted, signal icon is totally empty and mobile data always show EDGE no matter setting i choose 3g or Lte .Is that fixable; Many thanks again to developer!
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] daviiid99:

[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] jimmypap:
Thank you for your advice, I will try in second slot.

I cant test this now i will reply after a few hours ,thanks again!
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] jimmypap:
I am back, tested both slots for sim card both work with empty signal icon and mobile data EDGE. If i change APN settings and set manually mobile data to LTE sim detects no network at all.

Maybe it is hardware problem in j510fn and it is difficult for you to resolve.

Thanks again for this wonderful rom!
[Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] daviiid99:
