[ROM][5.1.1][TW]SlimTW ROM for Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) - Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries

"For those who want the best."​
https://postimage.org/
Hello and welcome to the fastest and sleekest ROM for the Galaxy J5 ever- SlimTW ROM. It's based on 5.1.1 stock but it has something changed that really makes it special. More on that later.​
====================================
Screenshots, Download links and changelog are in second post!
====================================​
****************************​Features​****************************​-Debloated
-Deodexed
-Zipaligned
-Some apps look like Note 5 + Note 5 launcher included
-Excellent battery life and performance
-Extremely efficient install process without deleting all of your apps and data.
-ROM file size 230 MB, making it the slimmest TW ROM for the Galaxy J5 ever.
-Oh, and did I mention it's very fast? I'm typing this thread on my phone and it's just flying. I forgot about it.​
****************************​Installation process​****************************​
-Be sure that you're on STOCK lollipop 5.1.1.
-Download the ROM
-Take a nandroid backup (optional)
-In this ROM, you don't have to wipe anything, this is pretty awesome.
-Flash the ROM
-IMPORTANT!!! Flash the Kernel. It's made for J500FN but it should work fine on other models since it uses AnyKernel2.
-Reboot and enjoy.​
****************************​Bugs​****************************​
Bugs you may ask? Well, I'm afraid there's none. If you happen to find a bug though, tell me and I'll try to fix it asap.
****************************​Compatibility​****************************​
The ROM should be compatible with all J5 variants running on stock 5.1.1, but it's normal if you have some missing apps from your stock ROM, because ROM base is J500FN. If there are any missing apps that are important, tell me.
****************************​Notes​****************************​
-If you want better battery life, change frequency to 1401Mhz
-There's gonna be an notification saying that you have done unathorized actions, just ignore it or delete the Smart Manager app.
-Be aware that this is my First ROM ever, so its going to have imperfections. Please don't hate.​

You use DJSteve kernel they will remove the link, and also can close your thead..
One more rom for J5 2015 and none of them good enough. There is not yet someone who can make a difference ...?

He once said that anyone who mentions him or uses his source codes would be banned. That's what he said in his forum. Maybe it's because of the GPL ?

Guys stay on topic please. I know I've added the thread killer kernel (djsteve) but that's the only one it works with. Download it fast because soon it will probably be forbidden. And also, read the install guide, it's not like others.

---

Find Raheels kernel and see if that works on this rom

---

its only for j500h

---

Raheels kernel works on skiesrom with all models, maybe you just need to edit the kernel

---

If it's stock 5.1.1, then why not work with stock kernel?

---

stock but deodexed and other stuff. please dont ask me to try differererent kernels, i tried all of them.
