[TUTORIAL] How to make Lollipop J5 look like Marshmallow - Samsung Galaxy J5 Guides, News, & Discussion

Hey guys, this topic is made for the sad owners of the for example J500FN Model that doesnt have marshmallow update. And i found a really easy way to make it look like Marshmallow, or S7. You need:
Stock 5.1.1 rom
TWRP Recovery (optional)
So, the first thing to do is really easy- Go to settings, and then Themes. Then go to Simple category, or somehow search for the Note 5 theme. I found it in the Simple category. Just install the theme and apply it and voila! Now your old lollipop android looks exactly like Marshmallow or Galaxy S7. One optional step is to download the S7 Boot animation from here
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0JuAPCxIs_idTVNSXhYTWtQU0E/view
And install it with TWRP.
And one more optional step is to download S7 wallpaper.
Hope i helped, peace

.::IMPORTANT PLEASE READ THIS FIRST!::.
First: Before you start questioning and posting here, please do understand that you need to carefully read all these instruction below, not just first post (OP), but following several posts (#2,#3, #4, etc.) these posts are also part of this OP post. It is very very critical to read and have clear understanding how version of this ROM works, and how it can be customized, failure to not read all the instructions and not able to follow, you will get lost, most likely you will soft-brick your device.
Second: This is fully deodexed, pre-rooted with SuperSU included, KNOXless Stock Touchwiz ROM. If you looking for debloated 5.1.1 ROM, you may check @Zaphodspeaks 's ROM thread for debloated Stock Touchwiz 5.1.1 ROM if that's your thing. This ROM comes several ported apps from Galaxy Tab S2 and Galaxy Tab A. All these apps ported from their lollipop firmwares, ported, re-sized to fit our screen, and done many modifications all the way down to app smali files.
And lastly: Just because I put out a ROM here in Galaxy Tab 4 ROM thread, it does NOT mean I am your full-time tech support. Remember that this is provided as free of use, and if you are taking a custom ROM, Devs assume that you know what you are doing and have basic knowledge of doing so. Needless to say, if your tablet still under warranty, flashing custom ROMs voids your warranty. XDA is community driven forum, if you stuck, you can always ask here, and also using search box in XDA is your best friend.
Now the fun part

.::INSTALL INSTRUCTION (CLEAN INSTALL)::.
Even if you are on V2.1, For V3.X, Full Wipe is still OBLIGATORY for proper installation! No dirty flash over v2.1!!
*Warning!: You need to follow these instruction step by step, if you do NOT, you will have problem!*
1. First thing first; Have you made full nandroid backup yet? if not, this is very good time to do it now.
2. Download JazzROM For Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 (5.1.1) [SM-T330NU] to your device's internal or microSD card that you can easily find it for flashing later on.
3. Reboot into PhilzTouch CWM Recovery
4. Do Factory Reset first in PhilzTouch recovery, and then also do the " install new ROM" option in PhilzTouch Recovery.
5. Go back and do Wipe Cache and also do Wipe Dalvik/Art too in PhilzTouch recovery - just to be safe side.
6. Flash JazzROM For Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 (5.1.1) [SM-T330NU] ROM, and once it is done, click back key in recovery, and select reboot your system.
8. This is lollipop - first reboot seems like taking forever, but be patient here, you have to wait 15 min to 20 mins.
9. After it finishes the reboot, you may go thru your normal tablet setup (wifi, google account, Samsung account, time setup, etc).
10. After you done with step 9, you can now jump to next posts (post#2, 3, etc) below for additional setup and customization of the JazzROM.
.::KNOWN ISSUES/LIMITATIONS::.
This ROM is quite stable for daily drive, but like all custom ROMs, there's always some small issues and limitations, which I am NOT considering as big showstoppers:
Smart Manager works perfectly fine, but when you check storage and ram detail button in the app, it FCs, the reason is that this is from Tab S2 port, which is still based on 5.0.2, thus looking for 5.0.2 settings activities and our device is 5.1.1. Once 5.1.1 firmware available for Tab S2/Tab A, I will back ported our device again. So expect a fix for it - Fixed.
ToolBox has 12 apps limitation, that's how many apps you can able to add, and it is limited. Do not try to add more than, that it will crash your tablet. This is NOT a bug, just limitation of ToolBox.
As mentioned above, some ported apps you may see some little cosmetic imperfection in these ported apps, but consider that ported apps has 4:3 aspect screen ratio (Tab S2 / Tab A), while this tablet has 16:9 aspect screen ratio, so every effort being made to make it fit our tablet screen.
TouchWiz Launcher's A-Z option sorting is not included in original app (go check it out on Galaxy Tab A's and you will see it does not have A-Z sorting), Samsung decided to enable A-Z sorting in some of newest TouchWiz Home launcher, while it disabled in some others. So I went ahead and modified launcher.smali file to enable it. A-Z option for sorting works fine, but if you keep trying several times, it may not sort it correctly on landscape. Before you start asking that, remember that even Samsung disabled this feature, so don't complain it, take it as it is.
.::WHAT NOT TO EXPECT::.
Frequent updates.
Fancy Aramo installations (who got time for it!?).
Bugs free experiences.
Problems will be solved quickly/ultimately.
Individual/feature requests (I will listen, but no promise).
.::THANKS & CREDITS::.

.::APPS & CUSTOMIZATION FOR JazzROM::.
How to Enable S5 ToolBox and N4 SideKey in JazzROM
I have used following guide see here to edit both SecSettings.apk and framework.jar in our tablet. So both this SecSettings.apk and framework.jar updated in JazzROM.
In order to enable it, please follow this instruction link below - you need to download SQLite Editor from play store.
See Here for SQLlite instruction
I do not want copy and paste entire images, nor duplicate instructions here since @thereassaad already nicely outlined, just follow piece for S5 Toolbox and Sidekey for SQLite Editor, and don't forget to click reset button on notifacation in the settings, and then reboot. All stuff need to work is already added to SecSettings.apk and framework.jar.
Important!: Guys, it is case-sensitive, make sure you type as Toolbox, not ToolBox and it is SideKey, not Sidekey
so at the end, you should have like this;
.......;SideKey;Toolbox;SFinder;
How to Install Xposed in JazzROM
1. Install XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk - download here
2. Download xposed-v75-sdk22-tw-arm-custom-build-by-wanam-20151008.zip Wanam's Xposed for Samsung lollipop here - Important!!, remember you need 32bit one, not 64bit version.
2. Reboot into recovery and do full nandroid backup just in case.
3. Flash xposed-v75-sdk22-tw-arm-custom-build-by-wanam-20151008.zip, and do wipe caches and whipe dalwik/art after that (just playing safe here)
4. Reboot is going to take sometime, so take a break, have coffee or glass of wine or something..
5. Once reboots, you have xposed installed (already activated, no need to do anything).
6. Be very very careful what xposed you use, make sure it works with lollipop, especially check if it works for Samsung lollipop ROM!, installing an xposed app that's not intended to work for Lollipop may soft-brick your tablet!
How to get 5-Way Reboot, All Apps in MW (multi-window), Center Clock and Rounded Recents
Courtesy of @pyromayniyak (make sure you thank to him), please see this post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63487537&postcount=145. Make sure make full nandroid backup in case you like to restore back your tablet to previous stage!
Needless to say, this will be included to next version of JazzROM.

.::Q&A::.
1. I followed your install instruction, got bootloop, samsung logo does not goes way, waited for 1 hour, still nothing, what the heck I am doing wrong..?
Well, there could be couple of a lot reason why so. However, if you tried several times and still got the same result, what I would recommend is start from scratch; what I meant is flash official 5.1.1 firmware via odin, and then flash PhilzTouch CWM Recovery - if you are having issue flashing PhilzTouch CWM Recovery, download it from moonbutt74 thread, copy it to your tablet, unzip it, and locate recovery.img, and using Flasfiy app flash it to your tablet. And finally, grab moonbutt74's bootable stock lollipop kernel and flash it, and then flash Supersu beta 2.49 top of it. At up this point, you should be running official 5.1.1 ROM with root and PhilzTouch CWM Recovery installed as your recovery. Now, come back here and flash this ROM following the instructions above. .​

2. Are you going to support or release your ROM for different variant of Tab 4 devices such as SM-T530/T530NU, SM-T532, SM-T331, SM-T337A, etc..?
My motto is if I don't have device, I don't support. Please do understand that. However, if someone or some developers willing to port this ROM to other Tab 4 device, they are more than welcome to do so as long as keep the ROM name and credits intact.​

3. I was able to install your ROM and all working perfect, but got some apps FCs, why?
This ROM has been fully tested for several weeks, all apps checks out fine. However, sometimes when installed first time, some apps tend to give you FCs, if it happens, do this step: Go to Settings --> Application Managers --> All, and locate the app that give you FC, and now click Clear Data and Clear Cache, and then reboot your tablet. Now check the app that gave FC and see if it works. If still an issue, send me the catlog.​

well, you already did debloated version, for now I am not going to debloat this ROM as I need some more customization and I don't know if I am going to end up needing some apps, libs, frameworks, etc...

I like where your going with this.. I don't have the Skills yet to pull something like this off..
Hell 3 weeks ago I never even Deodexed anything before.. I was up for many days in a row... Many hours watching myself brick my tablet over and over and over again..
I've been in front of my Galaxy tab non stop and man I have learned a lot in such a short time..
I do enjoy giving Tech support, even if they are morons...
I also take it you came across the same problem I had with Google Drive? Opening and Force Closing over and over and over again..lol
I really like how you completely rewrote the Updater-Script..

Some google apps in system folder for lollipop hates deodexing, you may thinking it must be Google thingy, but I believe it is how Samsung intercorparated art runtime in their device.
Trying something new, and soft-bricking tablet...that's how you learn man....so keep it up...
and yeah, I ended up completely rewrote the updater-script to more streamline.

Samsung Frankenstiened Dalvik and ART together.. Nasty mixture, but its made to make it damn near impossible to develop or modify..
There was not one single tool that did the job either.. I used several tools and strangely enough I got it right the first time... I had to make some changes in the Archi Kitchen though since it didn't support our device.. It should now with what I added to it.. When I wanted to use it to preroot, the default method wouldn't work on 5.1.1..
So I changed that as well by updating it..
jazz
Excellent job! Looks great, feels great. Very well done.
Thanks for putting it all together for us.

It worked after I installed it from the PlayStore. Until I needed to reboot my tablet, then it caused a constant reboot over and over again. I had to restore from backup. I don't really need Amplify though, so I'll leave it for now.
But my irblaster does not work. I've tried a few different apps, and none of them work. Will someone check to see if it works with this ROM on their tab so I know if it's just me or not.
Thanks in advance!

remember that originally irblaster was not there, @moonbutt74 made it available in kernel. Samsung somehow screw this up.
honestly, have not have chance to check or test it out.
have you tried Peel app (which replaces Samsung WatchOn). I had WatchOn on my Note 3, suddenly Samsung App promted for update and update it, and become Peel app.

Yes. I have tried WatchOn, Peel, Smart Remote, AnyMote, and a few others. It worked when I was on stock LP 5.1.1 with moonbutt74's kernel, but not working with this ROM.

check with @Zaphodspeaks and see if it works on his ROM or not. If it does not works in his ROM, means because of deodexing may causing it....I can't really tell for sure.
another thing, when you trying, run catlog on background, and see if you can able to capture some logs for us to look.

It has the stock settings app so that it is possible for you to access all the Samsung Touchwiz Features.
It also includes the Samsung Dialer and Contacts and Gallery
Plus I have extracted the system ui from the galaxy s6
There are no known bugs on the ROM. Please report to me if you find any.
The power menu has been removed so if you hold the power button the phone will switch off instead of showing the power menu. I highly recommend this ROM as your daily driver.
Would love it if I could get some assistance!
BTW the ROM will get a special feature soon. I may introduce the new always on feature on the Samsung Galaxy s7 if I get enough votes.
I will also consider adding other features you may request.
This is exclusive for the A500F model as I only have this phone variant!
Instructions:
1. Make a backup of your current ROM using TWRP Recovery ( Do not SKIP. YOU WILL NEED THE FOLDER DIRECTORY)
2. Download the ROM from the link.
3. Extract the folder containing the ROM.
4. Now move the folder to /TWRP/Backups/234CEC2A/
5. Boot into recovery and click restore.
6. There you will see the ROM name Google Touchwiz ROM Final.
Then restore it.
7. Now go and factory reset and clear dalvik cache.!
8.Your Done!
Sorry about the long process. Still don't know how to compile Roms into a flashable form. Also first boot takes a while! It runs on Android lollipop 5.0.2.
ENJOY THE GOOGLE TOUCHWIZ ROM!!!
Marshmallow Update is here. And the best news is that the A500f version seems to be compatible with other variants if you restore only system, but not boot. I have tried my a500f version on a a500fu version and it WORKED. But please make a backup in case things don't work out.
Edit: It has been over 5 years since I made this. Its hard to believe that I started out here. The links are dead, hence why I've renamed the title. For those who stumble upon this later, enjoy this piece of history.

AOSP Nougat ROM with S-pen support (but no touchwiz) for Samsung Galaxy Note 5?

I am trying to find the perfect ROM but google is not helping. Here is what I need:
1. AOSP (no touchwiz or Tmobile/Samsung bloatware, excepting S-pen apps).
2. Keeps S-pen support intact.
3. Allows use of Magisk instead of SU for systemless root and hide (no lectures please - I LOVE Magisk).
4. Nougat at least 7.1.1, preferably 7.1.2.
5. Works on N920T.
Thanks.
Wrong forum kiddo
You made me hope for nothing. I thought someone was starting to develop an AOSP ROM with S-Pen support ... Thanks for using the forum better, posting your topics in the right sections.
Thanks.

Sorry, you are correct, I will re-post in "Q&A..."
It's impossible due to the need to replicate all TouchWiz behavior and create an alternative SDK (software development kit) which uses same method names and package_names of the Official SPen SDK to let the current SPen 3rd/official Apps working as expected.
After this a deep interaction is required between this component(s) and the System (i.e.: hovering a button needs a hint to be shown and then change the cursor) and it's very complex.
What you're looking for could take many months of work for a quite-big development team and no one can effort it.
Sorry.
Ekhm... There is no TouchWiz in Nougat ROMs. There is Samsung Experience
I'm curious why afraid of Samsung original UI?
Did your tried out?
You can always use Nova Launcher and mimic to almoar to perfection AOSP looks and feels.
I recommend to use Khongloi ROM for n920t. Use version 11 instead of Final. I don't have any issues with it.
Also using Magisk.

I am using Apex launcher, but that doesn't change things like the settings menus. I much prefer the LineageOS nougat ROM on my Nexus to the stock Samsung. Although an unofficial build of LineageOS exists for the Note 5, it has issues... I will check out Khongloi, thanks.

Hi, of course! I've added the boot animation in the 1.2 version, please let me know if it is not the correct one. For the charging sound I couldn't find it easily so my proposal is to wait a couple days for S10 sounds to be released and I'll do a S10 version that should include it as it will be based on One Ui! If not, then I'll do both versions; s9 one Ui, and S10.

I've updated all sounds from the latest S9+ pie rom let me know if it was what your were looking for! I'll wait for s10 for the next version. Enjoy
S10 version out!
Ringtones, notifications and UI sounds updated. See the first post for the downloads link

Thanks a lot, this is indeed what I was looking for!
I know this sounds all nitpicky, but is it possible to have the genuine S9/S10 boot animation?
I know Samsung uses another file type for their boot animations but is it possible to port it over somehow?
Thank you very much!

Would you have an example, for example a YouTube link? To see how it is different from the current version and what we can do. Indeed Samsung uses qmg for their images and it is not straightforward to convert to PNG files. Thanks!

Found this video:
The Samsung logo is slightly more centered and the animation is slower.
I don't think that the Samsung logo in your boot animation is the genuine one also.
Perhaps there is some way to obtain it? :silly:
I don't know how much work you put into making a boot animation, if it's too much of a bother I'm fine with your current one.
Again, I'm being extremely spoilt and nitpicky here and I'm very grateful for your patience, answers and of course your work. :good:

Well I've looked at it and couldn't find a way... It seems that the only way to convert qmg images to png is to execute a software on a samsung phone running touchwiz, as it then uses the local library. As my phone is on lineage OS, I can't do it... if you are on stock rom we could try it, otherwise I don't see another way to extract the info! Regarding speed and size I could try to modify it manually when I will have some time

I'm surprised you're still looking into this, that's kind of you to do that, cheers!
I'd say don't bother, that's just too much effort.
I can't use my S5 anymore anyway as the motherboard seems to have some kind of fault; visual artefacts on the screen, items jittering, snowstorms, random reboots and when I turn off the screen it doesn't come back on.
Got a new genuine display last year and all was fine but now my phone has started acting up again. :silly:
It wasn't my main phone anyway but I just loved using it.
Anyway, thanks a lot again for your patience and helpfulness and your great work, I appreciate it! :good:
Any way you can bump the supported API level up to 29 so there is support for Android 10 ROMs? I've been wanting to use this on crDroid 6.4 (Based on LOS 17.1). Just tried to flash and it had told me that I have to downgrade the version to API 28 (Android Pie).
Any way to have these without the boot animation? Just the sounds change. Or if there's a way to edit the zip I can have a go at it. Just need to be pointed in the right direction. The One Ui sounds pack available for Magisk simply doesn't work for me.
