Here it is finally: the officially xda-thread for my unofficial J5-2016 builds.
They have been already used for 6 weeks or so.
I currently compile a (untested for j5xnlte) TWRP, that can be used together with this ROM. On my FN (2015) it can decrypt the device (if it is encrypted of course) and it has experimental functionality to work with mixed external storage by @Captain_Throwback[/STRIKE @nkk71 (https://gerrit.omnirom.org/32036).
EDIT:
I erroneously gave the credits to @Captain_Throwback who"just" cherry-picked the patch by @nkk71, who is no longer with us, but should get the credits for this, of course.
I should have seen that and apologize for this error.

Changelog (the same as for 2015 devices)

Nice rom I can confirm wifi bluetooth hotspot are all working and both sims are perfect sound is crystal clear on both and the clearest I have heard of any aosp rom.Only bug for me is the google assistant's sound comes and goes for about a minute and then is stable after that.Music is superb on this build no problems whatsoever.Nice ui and not bloated.A great rom and thanks to developer and people that helped to build this Pie rom.Great work.

---

Thanks a lot for this nice rom stable and smooth everything is ok,
But two apps like Facebook and YouTube not running at the same time it bit laggy and you should remove battery then restart,
Please make some nice kernel for this rom

And the ROM works fine on Nougat Bootloader no need to downgrade to Marshmallow

---

Nice Pie aosp knocking on door...

---

Thank you for your great work, I installed your rom on my J510L, it's so fast, so smooth than any rom. But, uh sim card was not detected, no network. Please, add full support to this model. If you need essential files from its official firmware, I could help you with it.

---

Best ROM I have tried for the J5 2016. It works perfect besides the volume which is a bit too low but can be fixed by installing ViperFX. Great job !

---

Its possible to port drivers from adreno 308 or 330 to 306 ??

---

I will try this ROM for a bit, for now it works fine even if it's very laggy the ui

thanks for the rom and for keeping it updated. just wait until in the future improve the optimization to have more than 2 apps and the error of the brightness bar (raise a bit the brightness)
pd: Rom Firmware required is MM? I installed it from NN and I had no serious error just the knowledge.

@jenslody this is great. Keep this community alive. Thank you.
can you build a kernel for pie ??

Just porting drivers doesn't change the GPU you are using. Could you link some examples because the pro's of porting drivers don't make sense to me.
