Download


If you are completely new to flashing custom ROMs and have no idea how to begin, start by downloading a TWRP image for your device from the link below and flash it using the ODIN tool (see Instructions below). You cannot flash a custom ROM over stock recovery, so downloading a custom recovery is the first thing you will need to do:

TWRP Builds: https://download.msm8916.com/TWRP/

ROM Downloads can be found at:

LineageOS builds: https://download.msm8916.com/DotOS/o/

You will probably need to install GApps (Google Apps Suite) as well if you want access to Play Store, and other Google apps. There are two versions:

GApps: https://download.msm8916.com/OpenGApps/

or (recommended for lineage) :

GApps: https://download.msm8916.com/MindTheGapps/

Instructions

Installation via recovery (TWRP/LineageOS Recovery)

* Download a recent .zip file from the links above for your device.

* Reboot into recovery mode [Press Power+Volume Up+Home].

* Wipe your data and cache partition (equivalent to doing a Factory Reset)
if you are coming from a stock ROM.

* Either: Plug in your phone into your computer, copy the zip file to a location on your Internal or External Storage on a device, click Install on TWRP on your phone and locate the zip file in the phone, or:

* Plug in your phone into your computer, and open Advanced->ADB Sideload on TWRP on your phone and swipe the slider to enter sideload mode.
Then open a command prompt/terminal on your computer in the folder you put the file by Shift-Clicking (Shift+Right Click) and selecting "Open Command Prompt/Terminal Here" (you will need to have adb installed) and type:

adb sideload name_of_zip.zip

to sideload the file. Replace name_of_zip.zip with the name of the file. If you are running Linux you may need to type adb kill-server and use sudo adb sideload if you get an `Insufficient Permissions` error.

* Download and flash GApps in the same way.

[B]* Install samsung device drivers and then
 the adb utils from here:[/B]

If this is your first time flashing O, you will need to install the latest unofficial TWRP image for your device from the links above before flashing a zip image, otherwise installation of a zip will invariably fail.

How is the camera ?
What about working wifi ?

 

[BSKVL]

Yah . How bout camera? May main concern

And how is the battery?

 

[HMMDR27D53-3002]

How is the camera ?
What about working wifi ?

Like many AOSP-based ROMs, camera works. Upon re-testing on it, video recording unfortunately crashes the camera (and the camera app), the same result when using the OpenCamera app. The workaround for video recording is to use another camera app like Footej and it will be fine.

I dunno about using camera with social media (i.e. Facebook, video chats, WhatsApp etc.), since I do NOT use them ever, and I don't have 'these' social media accounts anymore.

As for the WiFi, it generally works/connects as it should.

And how is the battery?

Depends on your usage, apps installed, modifications (system/kernel) and your battery age. Usually it takes 3 - 3½ hours (sometimes 4 hours) of screen-on-time on my usage (using a nearly 3 years old battery). Same with other ROMs I've used; be it on TW or AOSP.

Flash Magisk on TWRP and that's it.

Flash with magisk 17.1 and root ok, :svetius:

Pls, Tell me How did you solve this problem. I have to flash the stock by using ODIN after that flash Dot OS?

 

[Twin.Twiggs]

I tried this rom. Very good, smoothly, and cleanly. But when I turn on mobile data on j500h l, it showed 2G, although I set 3G only. I restarted, wiped dalvik but nothing appear

Probably signal coverage or a misconfigured SIM. Only one SIM should have set as 3G and should be as data SIM; and the other SIM as 2G. My phone does have H+ (3G) working, if I'm in an open area, higher floor or an urban places.

You have to install the last version of TWRP and will flash ok
