LineageOS 16.0 is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 9, which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device. This is a port by me for the Samsung Galaxy J7 2015 and is based on the great work of @danwood76 and @Stricted.
All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS GitHub repository. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit the project's Gerrit page. You can also view the Changelog for a full list of changes & features.
Code:
/*
* Your warranty is now void.
*
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.

I dunno. On my J700H it has successfully installed.

For those who are facing error 7 on j7
Error 7 is due to the port rom you have installed previously like (any tw-nougat based rom)
Try flashing stock rom if it is possibal
Or
Try re flashing the twrp(dosent know if this works)
Or
Remove the assert section from the updater script(this one always work)

Calling and sending SMS should be fine. Only mobile data is currently not working. I'm not sure why UI is lagging for you. I would be happy if you could send me a logcat.

Okay.
UPD: Maybe I know why RIL doesn't work. I have J700H.
This phone isn't support LTE. But, when i check connection settings, there's automatically configured LTE. How i can switch to 3G without settings??

It's because I use the same device tree on J700H and J700F/J700M. Also the non-LTE variant gets the option to enable LTE but it shouldn't do anything, just ignore it. It will fall back to 3G.

Okay. So i just need to send logcat of my android??

---

Im sorry)) I had install wrong rom It was Los 16 too, but 2019 build test. RIL is working.
By the way, do you have any purposes, how to make mobile data work??
UI now isnt lagging too
Phone shows that mobile internet is working in tray, but the internet isnt working

---

Glad to see finally a Android 9 development and active post for our beloved J7's, thanks very much for that, still today I'm using my J700M for working, wish this come to stable in order to try it!

Hi @dariotr
Thanks for your efforts.
The Samsung S5 Neo has the same chipset as our beloved, ageing J7 2015, aaaaand it has OFFICIAL LOS 16.
Maybe that can help?
Anyways here's the link ...... S5 Neo Official LOS16 page

No. That doesn't help me. Take a guess which devices I used as base for the j7 tree...

hello friends I managed to solve the problem of error 7 in twrp when installing rom lineage pie from @dariotr
I did the following:
analyzing the zip file of the lineage 8.1 compilation of @ messi2050 I noticed that there was a file called file_contexts.bin that was missing from the lineage 9.0 zip file
I copied the file and it worked, I was able to install it without problems on the j7elte (j700m port / br)
did a dirty installation of lineage 8.1 to 9.0
I haven't tested much but.
cam ok
bluetooth ok
mtp ok
flashlight ok
chips ok
mobile data ( works !)
wifi ok
incoming calls ok
autorotation does not work
autobright does not work
sorry for the bad english
