[Lineage OS 13.0 | Android 6.0.1][Unofficial unstable][Build 28/11/18]​
Lineage OS 13.0 For Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime VELTE(grandprimevelte SM-G531F)​

Code: 
*** Disclamer
Your warranty is now void.
I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you. 
A lot.
Installation instructions
Install instructions:
Wipe Everything Except Internal and Sd
Flash Rom
Flash Gapps: arm - 6.0 nano
And reboot.

Requirements:
- Flash firmware G531FXXU1APG2 before ! Get an European firmware with this PDA and flash it before flashing this ROM, or your RIL will not work at all.

Download
LineageOS 13.0 Grand Prime VELTE (old audio devices)
LineageOS 13.0 Grand Prime VELTE (new audio devices)
TWRP 3.1.1.0 Grand Prime VELTE
Open Gapps
dual-sim boot.img
(use at your own risks, I can't test it) If you flash this on single-sim variant, it should do nothing bad as I check for dual-sim phone but it's useless for you.

Changelog
Code: 
No changelog.
FAQ
No FAQ for now.

Known bugs
- RADIO FM doesn't work (fixed in last version)
- Headset not recognized (fixed in last version)
- No Hardware video codecs, so no 720p and higher support.

Thanks To/Credits

Hi,
Thanks a lot for that work, I've been looking for a ROM for this grand prime variant for months!
I tested it and found a major bug: when trying to make a call, the network signal is instantly lost so the call is impossible. There is an error message when trying to find the signal again, and the only way to get it back is to reboot the phone.
Hope this helps.

Unfortunatly this doesn't help me at all. On my phone, RIL works fine, lte, call & sms. You should put a "logcat" & "logcat -b radio" of when it happens.

Unexpected.

After downloading the required Firmware G531FXXU1APG2 ( Poland) and getting ready to flash with Odin, the flash process failed and a message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again" came upon the screen. Then after few minutes it won't turn on after pressing the buttons. What does it mean?

Help....

Ні! when trying to make a call, the network signal is instantly lost so the call is impossible. There is an error message when trying to find the signal again, and the only way to get it back is to reboot the phone.
Hope this helps. Link log file gist.github.com/Kolya145777777777/1eae891e012f2f7b66b41c76eb74ab2d

Does it really work properly? Is it suitable for use? I use this rom. " https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-grand-prime/SM-G531F/TUR/download/G531FXXU1APK2/111396/ " Can I install directly? thanks.

No you can't, you need a firmware with version G531FXXU1APG2. I uploaded my stock firmware here: G531FXXU1APG2_G531FOXX1APG2_G531FXXU1APG2_HOME.tar.md5
Its usable, RIL, WiFi, Bluetooth, OTG, adb, mtp, offline charging work. Camera works if you start the CameraApp a lot of times. It should not randomly crash but you can have graphic bugs when watching video cause I'm working on libstagefright (video/audio codecs).
Also I'm releasing new versions often fixing some bugs here and there.

Its up to you if you want to try it or not :).
