I flashed this rom on my SM-J500H. I wiped system, data, cache, dalvik and internal. Then, I flashed the rom zip. In aroma, I selected J500FN. After flashing, I flashed Serenity kernel, mobile data fix and gallery fix. And now, rom is not booting, stuck in the bootloop. It happened on some other roms, too. So, am I doing something wrong at the installation? Sorry for my bad English.

Edit: I used this TWRP. Is it a problem? https://github.com/Galaxy-MSM8916/releases/releases/tag/TWRP-3.2.1-lineage-15.1_j8_20180725_j53gxx

Edit2: I was coming from Bootleggers Pie, Marshmallow bootloader. And I selected SuperSU instead of Magisk on aroma.

Thank you, it worked! Flashed rom, serenity kernel and all fixes. It is working perfectly, but unfortunately system is a bit laggy and mobile data is not working. I flashed the mobile data fix, still same.
Edit: System is very very very laggy. I just installed one app, WhatsApp.
Edit2: Tried Dragon and Leviathan Kernel, mobile data is still not working. But at least lag is fixed.

I want to squeeze the last bit of performance out of this rom. So I am thinking about installing microg on it. But how do I remove the inbuilt gapps? Any ideas? Anyone?
