I eventually turned back to this debloated stock ROM (for battery reasons). and just in case anyone wants to know: Miracast works!!!! If your device is rooted already, the only two necessary steps are 1) make the logo/icon visible (using e.g. panel manager, setedit22 or miracast widget from playstore), 2) add the line "wlan.wfd.hdcp=disable" at the end of build.prop (in system folder)
after rebooting it works (without having to modify anything else apart from that!) =)

is it a bug of the zip that UPSM does not work? I mean I did not test it before flashing the zip, but when I switch it on now (with the zip installed), nothing changes (like no energy mode is being entered at all)

Alright, no problem. :eek:
If it's possible, I want to improve battery life a bit - would flashing another kernel make sense? any particular one to recommend?
Thanks

Any other kernels rather than stock are huge battery drainers for j5. Because they can't focus properly on the camera, include new wifi drivers which consume more wifi power (based on my experience) and includes a lot of tweaks (that just make the battery even worse).
Just use stock kernel and and app called BATTERY SAVER PRO (it gives you 4 levels for battery saving, using root acces to reduce kernel frequency).
This phone is not intended for gamming, so there is no reason to overclock it, stock kernel can handle everything ok without any bugs(issues).

The app was paid, but now it's no longer developed by Antutu, but you can still find it online.
