Instructions

At least MarshMallow bootloader is required or you will not be able to boot the rom !
Latest stock firmware is recommended before installing this rom, even if it might work with older versions !
You have to reboot one time after first boot to make mobile data work.

• Use the TWRP from the download-link for your device above (needs to be flashed from existing TWRP, ODIN version might come)
• Download the latest build
• Put it on your device
• Reboot to TWRP
• If you want to be sure wipe the device
• Flash the latest build
• Clean Cache and Dalvik if you want
• Reboot and enjoy

Others

Easily rootable with the great Magisk (stable) by @topjohnwu.
I use it as daily driver without major issues, except mobile data (see above).
I use microG as google replacement and for push-services, signature-spoofing is already build into the rom but need to be enabled in "Settings -> Bootleg dumpster -> Miscellaneous" and granted in "Settings -> apps" and/or in microG-Settings.

Howto use dualsim

This works for me on my test j5xnlte:

1. It doesn't matter which sim is your data-sim.
2. Before setting your data sim to 3g or 4g (aka LTE):
   • make sure to set 2g as preferred network on the sim you do not use for data.
3. The data sim can then be set to whatever you want.
4. Never ever try to change the sim after you started a call, if you do so you most likely have to restart the device to make things work again.
5. Before restarting the device you can try to set both sims to 2g and switch the data sims twice (easiest way with the QS-tile)

I get error 7 when trying to install on j5 2015 H and it ends with an error 6. It should be mentioned that I use TWRP 3.2.3

 

[amirizad_7436]

[garylawwd]

Well done on your work!
As always massive appreciation to all involved in continuous development for the j5.

I get error 7 when trying to install on j5 2015 H and it ends with an error 6. It should be mentioned that I use TWRP 3.2.3

Manually remount system and data, then flash. Or flash los 17.1 then this rom. If that does not work, update to 3.3.1. Further fix is in the works, will inform all when i have it

 

[carlos974]

Congratulations on your wonderful job :good:
you are the best !!!

 

[Edu257]

I removed the bootloggers updater-script file and instead replaced it with that of Lineage Os 17.1 so it didn't give me the error anymore

Known bug in the aosp messenger used by bootleggers, not device specific, therefore not in my bug-list.
You can use third party mesenger app (I personally use signal).

Even at this stage it's perfect
Thanks too much man

Edit:I wanna say sth that is everyone that read this massage should know that every bug needs logcat to solve.there are some logcat creator at play store that works with root.so don't need to PC.just make logcat and send it to Dev with your bug explain.and plz don't report known bugs and repeat it every second
Thanks in advance

If your Mobile Data isn't working on Android Q!
You have to manually find Access Point Names(APN) for your "Carierr" and "Country" in the Internet.

So..how to find APN for your sim card:
1. Google "your sim card carrier name" internet apn settings "and your country"
2. Then click on first link which should be "www.apnsettings.org"
3. After opening the link look for "Internet APN:"
4. Then when you have found APN Settings for your carrier in the webpage.. Open up "Settings" app on your phone, then go to "Network & Internet" > "Mobile network" > (scroll down to the end and then click on "Access Point Names" and then click on first APN (which is for internet). When you are there. Go back to webpage.
5. Then check what's missing or different in your Internet APNs. After you have changed apn settings, click save at "three dots near search icon"
6. If you found right APN settings and changed them correctly your mobile data should be working when you enable it.

NEW INFO: Sadlly i have noticed that after 2 reboot/restart Mobile data on Q roms isn't working anymore. But im sure that developers gonna find a solution for it very soon. So don't worry. Just be patient! Have a great day!
