Instructions

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 links above and flash it using the ODIN tool (see below).

You cannot flash a custom ROM over stock recovery, so downloading a custom recovery is the first thing you will need to do.

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.

How to provide logcats

Code:
Under Windows:

Code:

[B]* Install samsung device drivers and then the adb utils from here:[/B] [url]https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979[/url] [b]* Then enable developer mode, connect your phone to usb, and from [B]cmd[/B] paste this command:[/b] [I]adb logcat > %userprofile%/Desktop/logcat.txt[/I] [b]then try to reproduce the bug.[/b] [b]* The logcat file will be on your desktop.[/b]

Under Linux:

Code:

[b]* Install the adb utils from your distribution's package manager and execute the command:[/b] [I]adb logcat > ~/logcat.txt[/I] [b]then try to reproduce the bug.[/b] [b]* The logcat file will be on your home directory.[/b]

* Create a bug report at https://bugs.msm8916.com/ and paste the logcat there.

* If you cant connect the device through adb on windows because the drivers, connect the device over wifi, enable adb over network on the quick setting tiles, and type:

Code:

adb connect [ip address here]

And then the adb logcat command for windows.

NOTE: Development/maintenance is still ongoing.

In case any clarification is needed: a member of the team quit (you know who). Myself (Vincent), Sean (@deadman96385) and Emery (@minz1) have been busy, and I unwell, for the past few months, so we have not been able to contribute as much as we would like, but make no mistake: we are the founders of this (Galaxy-MSM8916/53) teams, and our contributions in terms of both time, money and code are by far the greatest. We are committed as always, and as long as there is a community for msm8916/msm8953 devices, we will keep maintaining our sources and building ROMs for these devices.

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.

Extremely glad to see the hardworking team back with a bang! You people's immense support and care are what make the J5 survive at its old-age.

Thanks.

Is mm bootloaders required for this?

Yes all oreo roms require mm bootloader. At the start of oreo development it was able to be flashed on both bootloaders but that since has changed to just working on mm bootloader

vince2678 · Jul 27, 2018 at 3:29 PM

Hi.

New builds are up for all devices. See the third post (first page). But more importantly:

I usually don't ask for or expect much, but at this critical time we really need your financial support, and anything will go a long way. Our domain is expiring next week, and our server and needs upgrades, and money is needed for a faster network link, and the like, and all of us on the team have spent a lot of our own time and money to make this happen, and to keep it going.

We cannot keep forking money from our own pockets, because the cumulative cost over the past few years is really high
(say, somewhere between $500-$1000) excluding previous donations.

I'm only saying this because we REALLY, REALLY need your financial support to keep this going.

I'm not asking for money for myself. This is all for the progress of maintenance/development.

We're all students or borderline broke, living from paycheck to paycheck, and we've done the best we can with what we have.

If you can donate a dollar, then do that. If you can donate more, then please do. But please, if you can, take the time to do so.

There are thousands (yes, thousands) of users downloading ROMs *every day* from our servers, tens of downstream clones of our repos and ROMs, and upwards of 30 devices supported, so this isn't an absurd request.

For the cost of a coffee, or whatever your favourite drink or snack is, you can help us keep this going beyond O.

If you can, donate to (Paypal): [email protected]

Thanks,

Vincent.

Does anyone know how to solve this problem? No matter how I install the ROM, this always happens.

To update you shouldn't have to wipe a thing especially data you don't want to lose that.
Maybe dalvik/cache if you want

Finnsravens · Aug 1, 2018 at 10:55 AM

Wow RR is still alive! I will test it on my J500G

vince2678 · Aug 3, 2018 at 1:17 PM

Due to the several build failures due to a fault in the android build system and a minor bug present in all builds run today/yesterday (20180802/20180803), I'll be clearing the build queue, as well as all builds from today on the servers and rerunning them all. Sorry for the inconvenience if you've already downloaded a ROM from today.

______

I've rerun all twrp builds (20180802) - it has been updated to version 3.2.3 and should have whatever features are in that new version (sorry, I can't list them down right now).
