hello,
when the " hadesRom OneUI " will be release?
thanks for ur work ;)

My friend(and everyone asking for ETA) don t take me wrong or rude.
What you ask here is ETA(estimated time of arrival)and is against XDA rules.
On the other hand the dev just stated one post
above that it s a long way to go if it ever gets ready for release.
So if you want a working rom to be released for our phones just be patient and don t ask stuff like that,
Cheers

I have news related A5 2017 but i can't post picture because I'm a new user on xda
Fake news, no doubt.

Let me guess...erm...do you have a screenshot of an official statement from Samsung saying the A5 2017 will be updated to Pie?

Hello.
Samsung Galaxy A5 2017 was launched with
out-dated Marshmallow update while other
phones which released at the same time were
launched with Android Nougat. So as Samsung
customers this seems so much unfair. Hence
definetely Galaxy A5 2017 deserve the new
Android Pie update. In addition, Galaxy A5 2017
was seen running on Android Pie 9.0 in the
popular benchmarking website, Geekbench.
Therefore hardware wise, the device is eligible
and able to run the new Pie update!
I have been a Samsung customer for years. So, as a
regular customer, I request you to pay your kind
attention on my request and take necessary
steps to provide Android Pie update to Galaxy
A5 2017. This is a request by all the Galaxy A5
2017 customers and a petition is also going
on Samsung commumty website requesting
this new update. I look forward to hearing from
you soon. Thank you...

I admire your altruistic approach, but we tried this in the Xperia SP back in 2012 when Sony refused to honour an update to KitKat. It never worked. They didn't listen and neither, I suspect will Samsung as they have already honoured their policy of 2 version upgrade. We started in MM, got N and got O. Their have completed their lifespan for this device. The "benchmark" was LOS 16 - Geekbench got it all wrong and misled their readers. Ah well. Don't believe everything you read - especially unfounded sources on Geekbench

I'm going to close this thread, seems that some people can't read or understand. I said what i had to say here.
If you still waiting for Samsung to deliver OneUI, keep waiting, that's not going to happen. Also don't forget Lineage 16 is pie too, and ofcourse it shows as pie on Geekbench.
All the best!

    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.

    Some personal thoughts:
    - you should read at least install instructions stated in this post - i won`t offer support for any issues regarding installation;
    - press 'Thanks' button instead of saying it - it will keep the thread clean and keep me motivated to do more;
    - feel free to donate to me if you want to support my work;
    - if you take any of my work without my permission i'll report you, and you'll probably get banned.

    If you don't care in reading this, go below this post, you'll find the rom.

    First of all i feel the need to thank everyone that been around supporting me, this project wouldn't have got so far without you.
    I want to share this final rom zip as it was already cooked and ready for release. As i said, i halted the release of this rom because november security update got out and this rom felt overdue.

    As some people like to blame me for various things, i want to shed some light onto recent events.
    1. A while ago i have found some roms with Pie apps ported by me included with no credits or small credits. Yes i will rage everytime for this since nobody spent 16 continous hours with me to port and fix most of the bugs only for the Telephony/Contacts/IncallUI combo or for others. Yes it was my choice to port/share it, no i won't agree with people taking things as their own. As a consequence i discontinued that project and halted others.
    2. @Option58 released LineageOS 16 (gg for it) and all the questions, bug reports and LOS related talk moved to my telegram group, most of the questions being addressed to me. Not my duty to answer them, not my rom, not my problem. As a consequence to this fact i choosed to delete the telegram group since all the chat was about LOS. If you have something to discuss, do it in related thread on XDA or on dedicated telegram group, if any.
    3. It has come to me that one of my 7 trusted testers has leaked the download link for the last test version and even sold it for 10$. For this i will release the v6, a bit improved from that leaked build so people wouldn't have to pay for it and get scammed. Sooner or later someone on 4pda would share it anyway since it got out in the wild.

    Considering all mentioned i decided to end this project too and lay low for a while.
    I'm not going to say i will never do anything anymore, i get bored pretty quick and eventually get over it so we might see eachother again, but at least for a while i won't do anything.

    So at the very end of this post i would like to thank some people:
    - donors and people who supported my projects, thanks again
    - @MPachulski24 @●CaloMarzi● @paulo boë @vivb.21 @XxChaoticStrike @Dynamo22 @Yahia Angelo thanks for trying to be there as testers and thanks for leaking the test v6
    - @ermakovermakov7878 thanks for not admiting you had the rom too and not wanting to say who leaked it, you are a part of this anyway, thanks again
    - @Option58 - thanks for your devotion into this device(s)
    - for other users that helped me find out all this scam, thank you very much
    - for users that paid for that leak, i'm really sorry for that, if you read this, try to reach me and maybe you can help me find the guilty person eventually
    - for haters, thanks for hating, good things come from both positive and negative feedback

    Going to leave the threads open, maybe someone has something to say.
    Regards
