F.A.Q
Q: How to root it?
A: Grab Magisk from here.
Q: Splash screen gets more and more greenish when I try to boot. Is that normal?
A: Of course not. This means you're not on Marshmallow/Nougat bootloader & Modem. Flash any MM/NN stock ROM first before you flash this ROM.
Q: ROM booted but there is no gallery, clock etc. Why did you removed it?
A: I didn't, YOU debloated them in aroma installer. Reflash the ROM again without wiping data and this time don't debloat them.
Q: There is no CSC folder in /system. How to add CSC features?
A: This ROM is featured with OMC, a new multi CSC solution. Locate to /system/omc and add your features to customcsc.xml.
Q: My GPS does not find my location. Any fix?
A: Download GPS Test app from Google play, run it, go outside and wait 10 minutes.
Q: Do I have to clean flash when there is a new update?
A: No, flash it over a previous version is ok.
Q: I enabled screen recorder in aroma but I can't find it in settings. How to run screen recorder?
A: You can find it's settings in settings > advanced features > screen recorder. To start recording, pull down quick settings, search for Screen Capture tile, extend it and select screen recorder.
Q: XYZ app does not work/force closes and I want create a log to help you. How can I create a logcat?
A: I'm glad you'd like to help. Follow this xda tutorial or download any logcat app from Google Play.
Q: Why still no Oreo or Pie port?
A: Samsung won't update any MSM8916 device to Oreo/Pie anymore.
Q: Why I can't enable 4G in second SIM?
A: Galaxy MSM8916 modems don't support dual LTE.
Q: I've enabled navigation bar but I don't like it. How can I remove it?
A: Reflash the ROM select everything you did before except nav bar without wiping data.
Q: Do I have to flash Galaxy A8 2018 mods, recoveries etc. when I use this ROM?
A: NO! This ROM will not transform your Galaxy to an A8. Only flash mods, recoveries etc. meant for your device variant.

This information isn't helpful at all. Please capture it with a logcat so that I can find and fix the issue and finally provide a patch.zip
If you can't caputre logcats, go to /data/log and extract prev_dump.log in TWRP Recovery

Already planned but J5 2015 only has 8GB storage and maybe has lack of /system storage. Also J5 2015 has no official TW Nougat.
Could you tell me the filesystem of J5 2015 so that I know, how much space /system partition actually has?
Just connect to ADB and type:
Code:
adb shell df
Also see attached screenshot

Awesome, so ROM booted right?
Please capture the app installation process with a logcat so that I can fix it.
What kind of reboot was that? Soft reboot (phone reboots at bootanimation) or hard reboot (phone reboots at splash screen)?
