Rom-Information

Bootleggers Rom Queso (aka. Q aka. 10) Official (shishufied)

More information about the rom can be found:


What works

amost evrything you need
in detail, most stuff works: ril, wifi, gps, video, audio, bt-audio, pip, nfc, drm, fm-radio,
except what's listed in bugs
encryption works, decryption in TWRP also (at least with my TWRP), more details come, be careful and take a full backup before encrypting
​
Bugs

  • sim-pin does not work, so you need a sim with removed pin
  • mobile data does not work most of the time, sometimes it does
  • gps works but fix sometimes needs a long time, especially with low signal (indoors)
  • included screen-recording app does not work on the J5 devices
  • dual-sim issues (possible workaround in second post)
  • no Volte!
  • You tell me

Sources



Downloads from sourceforge (preferred)

[*]SM-J510x
[/LIST]


Downloads from my server




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)

Happy to see you again Jenslody. Thank you so much for your hard and good quality work.
I'm still using bootleggers pie version 4.2, can I flash this rom over it without reflashing the firmware? If yes, should I wipe the device?
Thank you again Jenslody :)

Whenever you upgrade between major revisions of android, you always clean install. 4.2 is 9.0, 5.0 is 10. Clean install it.
