Thanks to the creators of this custom ROM, after several months of searching for a custom ROM suitable for j5xnlteunzt (SM-J510UNZT) I finally found it in this thread. I've been using the custom ROM for 2 days and so far I haven't found any major bugs.
The only way is to decompile SystemUI.apk and remove a line there, however I can't remember which line it was, it's been a long time.
@prototype74 great to see you're still monitoring this thread of yours 
I apologize if you've already answered this before: the latest Android for the A8 2018 is Android 8. Can you shine a light on why you never ported that update over into your existing j510xx ROM? I had to move on (see below) but would so much prefer to return to a genuine Samsung ROM out of your talented forge for my j5 as secondary mobile, even if it's just one version higher.
Here's the background why: what forced me to move to a ROM with a higher version of Android (see my sig) was that legacy XPosed was slowing everything down too much. Because for how I use this phone, a flavor of Xposed is simply required - no way around it. Now with LSPosed in LineageOS 17.1/ Android 10, everything is as snappy again as supposed. As I bet you know, LSPosed (and also the outdated EdXposed) require Android 8.0+
After working in LineageOS for a while now, I do miss your ROM: VoLTE was a huge plus; so was Samsung's TouchWIz launcher (and I also prefer the A8 (2018) Android 8 launcher over the one from LOS 17.1 and even Nova launcher), and several other details here and there.
Is it just a time or also a technical issue? There is Android 8 kernels for the j5 2016, + matching launchers. If it was/ is just a matter of allotting time, how many hours do you estimate it would roughly take to port the latest A8 (2018) Android 8 over?

You should know that the ROM isn't fully based on Galaxy A8 2018. The actually base is from J5 2016 itself. What I have done back in 2018 was porting the framework of Galaxy A8 2018 on top of J5's vendor. This way does allow us to have working hardware features (wifi, display, gpu etc.) with full Galaxy A8 2018 software features.@prototype74 great to see you're still monitoring this thread of yours

The main issue why I never brought a newer Samsung based ROM to MSM8916 is that Samsung never did release any Android 8.0+ Update to any of it's MSM8916 devices. An attempt to full port Galaxy A8 2018 ROM to J5 2016 will fail at the beginning due to different SOCs (Exynos =/= Snapdragon you know). This is why the J5 2016 never got a newer Sammy based ROM from me.
Anyway I can call that all now is pure b*llsh*t: porting newer Samsung based ROMs DOES NOT actually rely on same SOC!
I have started a project last year that should proof that we can indeed port ROMs from Snapdragon to Snapdragon devices (MSM8916 to MSM8926 for example). Such attempts were done between Exynos devices by other xda developers already which did work ofc. But did it work between Snapdragon devices too? YES it did! I was able to boot Android 7.1.1 from MSM8916 to my old S3 Neo (MSM8228; which never even got official Android 5 from Samsung) with 90% of working hardware features. It took months of work to do that but I can confirm that porting Sammy ROMs from different Snapdragon devices does work. This experience means it's not impossible to get Samsung Experience 9.x or even OneUI 1.x running on J5 2016 but this all just needs a lot of time, patience and especially experience how backporting Kernel features does work. Since I own a J5 2016 I might think about it to start a new project in summer Last but not least don't forget, LineageOS is completely open source which means it's easier to get and adapt newer LineageOS (or AOSP ROMs in general) on J5 2016 than Samsung based ROMs (open source vs. closed source software).

@prototype74 perfect all-encompassing answer - all details understood.
I'm hopeful you'll keep us updated about your new tentative J5 2016 project in summer. I'm sure your aim would be 100% of working hardware features in that case. Good luck with all of it. Feel free to let me know then once you're in need of a beta tester

@prototype74 just touching base with you: maybe a J5 2016 Android 8+/ SEP 9.x or even OneUI 1.x winter project 
? (My J5 still running well here as secondary mobile handset ).
? (My J5 still running well here as secondary mobile handset ).
I can't promise anything if there will ever be an android project from my side for the j5. I'm currently using my j5 for a different project (not android) which is the reason why I didn't start an android project for it during summer. The only thing I can tell is if I ever decide to work on an android rom for j5 again it might be based on 8.0+ but still, I'm not sure if it ever will happen...@prototype74 just touching base with you: maybe a J5 2016 Android 8+/ SEP 9.x or even OneUI 1.x winter project
Anyway thanks that you're still showing some interests about my (old) projects!
Gotcha @prototype74 - I appreciate the update.
Non-android project on your J5.. now you've piqued my curiosity. A recovery like TWRP, OrangeFox, PitchBlack etc., or something complety different like a mini Linux server? Would love to learn from you what you have running on it
