My sources and the ones I've used are all available either on my github here: https://github.com/Koloses or Galaxy-J5 organisation here: https://github.com/Galaxy-J5/ Kernel source is here: https://github.com/Koloses/kernel_samsung_j5lte

That's it for now. Builds for the rest of J5 devices should come later on and will be the same as the ones for J500FN and J500F. I just need time to make them (Building MM takes 2-3h on my pc and I have to setup device trees too so yeah)

isn't this just gonna be the same as cm13

 

[Koloses]

Mostly yes, but it's refreshed a little bit (newer android codebase as we have 6.0.1_r78 as far as I remember and CM13 has a little bit older base). It's also rebranded and we have some overlays fixed (charging overlays and 1080p recording in Snap camera). I also included newer Adreno blobs as you may see here . I will make seperate builds for the rest of J5 devices too later this week. I did some patches here and there since we won't get new CM13 builds anyway and custom MM for our devices still needs some love.

It also uses my kernel with recommended settings out of the box, so battery life should be better without installing any extra zips. People kept asking for it and most of them wouldn't build it for themselves so here it is

???? another rom

I hope this is better than the others?
You were compiling it in silence?

@Koloses what is the best way to get root in Lineage OS 13? Because in developer options there's only ADB...

 

[Koloses]

Flash SuperSU zip just like on every ROM.

In CM I always used the in built root option :good:

@Koloses

I'm using it on my phone at this moment and seems that signature spoofing (for microG) is working.

And as I've told you, Skype video recording problem is present on cm12.1 and stock 5.1.1 too.

 

[JosephDM]

@Koloses by the way now it says "fast charging" :good:

 

[jonianU8160]

So even snapchat recording not working .Is there any temporary fix ? btw thanks for the rom

 

[Koloses]

AFAIK Snapchat recording doesn't work on any custom ROM > 7 (i don't know how it is Nougat) I tried debbuging it several times yet haven't found any solution to it and decided to release ROM without fixing it.

Gpu script it's just for those who want limit the gpu overclock set by default to 720Mhz. If you encounter some overheating etc.

What is the default gpu clock ?

 

[JosephDM]

What is the default gpu clock ?

400Mhz Anyway I suggest you leave it overclocked to 720Mhz because 3D performance is way better

 

[ltmpx]

What is the default gpu clock ?

400 MHz

 

[jonianU8160]

400Mhz

I am getting annoying but what i understod is that if i want gpu overclocked i should flash this script or only if im getting overheating slowdowns

You limit the GPU frequency to 400Mhz (stock frequency) if you dont want overclock or for whatever reason you want.


The script is an init.d script which limit the GPU frequency at boot according the script you choose. You have to flash the zip in TWRP recovery.
I didnt try, but you can also use Kernel Adiutor and choose e.g. 400Mhz and toggle "apply on boot".
