This is my second port i REALLY hope you like it

BUGS: NFC (like all oreo ROMs) and hotspot

HOW TO USE HOTSPOT?
Use PdaNet app that i included in the ROM

HOW TO ENABLE NAVBAR?
Use Soft Buttons app included in the ROM or this Magisk Module: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/how-to/navbar-enabler-lineageos-magisk-module-t3759802

REALLY IMPORTANT!!!
The setup wizard is laggy but then the ROM becomes smooth and responsive :good:

Another very nice port from our newest developer.Fully tested and can confirm both sim cards working and audio on both.Wifi and bluetooth great and hotspot works with additional app as stated in thread.Rom has no lag whatsoever fast and smooth at loading apps.This rom has better ram memory usage than any I have tested with 29% memory usage quite remarkable and the lowest memory usage I have seen on the J5 2016.Another great addition to the J5 roms .Great work and great to see all these new roms.:

Yes, but you should flash OC hotplug for lineageOS 15.1 and know how to use PDAnet app if you want to use hotspot

Issue during setup

Facing issue during setup.
During initial setup i selected Language, default sim, Connected to wifi. Then when i clicked start as fresh, screen turned black with only wifi, sim signal and battery icon. I tried again and again without any luck. I flashed gapps arm v8.1 stock together with firmware. Is it the right version i should use?

The setup wizard is laggy, i suggest you to do it quickly, and i suggest to use the pie version wich is more updated

Actually it was not the laggy setup. I was surprised to see that the Gapps version 8.1 (latest) didn't install chrome or any browser. So i digged in to find the issue. I was able to skip the wifi configuration step and bypass the google sign in. Then i installed android system web view latest version from apkmirror. There was a new version available which was far ahead of the version installed by gapps or from the firmware. Then i started google sign in and that worked perfectly. So if someone is having issues like this then its better to skip google signin by not configuring the wifi and update android system webview to solve the issue. I hope gapps or developer will update their package soon.
