Samsung Galaxy J5 - Any plans on developing PA for this device?

Hi there,
I own a Galaxy J500FN and have been unsuccessfully searching the web for a custom rom for my device.
I have used PA on both my S4 and S4 mini and would be very glad (so would many others) if somebody could dedicate some time on working on a build for this device?
It currently ships Lollipop 5.1.1 out of the box.
There is no CWM Recovery build for this device but there is a TWRP Recovery Build that CTxz has kindly developed for us.
I am more than happy to flash experimental builds onto my device to help develop a custom ROM for it.
Thanks a lot!
Kyle
P.S: As many others have found, all root methods currently known for this device will trip the knox security.

No plans as we don't dev for devices we don't own or have access to. It is not on our radar at all, as with most Samsung devices.

@Pirateghost i can provide you all the files of j5 that you needs.

And what exactly does that do for us? That doesn't put a device in a developer's hand and they have ZERO way to test it. We know nothing about the device and we don't care to. It is not on the radar, it is not in the cards....
NO.
Not going to happen.
Please realize that developing for a device isn't easy. Even well documented ones bring along lots of hiccups along the way. There is no way in hell that we will take on a device request for a device that we don't own or plan on ever owning.
Here's a little FYI for you: we prefer Nexus devices or devices where the manufacturer/OEM is willing to allow/support bootloader unlocks, roms, development.
My advice to you: Learn how to bring up the device yourself, and build unofficials for yourself. This site was founded on being a resource BY developers FOR developers. Use the information available to you to build your own.

[Contribute]Separate Forum Request!

Hi guys ,Let me introduce I am a user
of lenovo A6000 and I created this thread
for the purpose of getting a separate fOrum for lenovo A6000/plus instead of general discussion.
This device reached 1 year but still no support from xda .As we have seen all devices are getting separate forum in quick succession as for example Redmi
3.Most surprisingly that even Redmi 2 recently got a forum along with redmi 3 .Our device has same specs as that
of redmi 2 and I think we have developers for custom roms kernels,etc.We recently got source build of cm 13 by a great developer flourmo,cm12 by a talented person ED300
.On the other hand ,Chhapil did a really outstanding work by making a awaited custom kernel for this device
.Chhapil has compiled from official
lenovo kk source which is complete now.We got another reason for a separate forum i.e.A complete kernel source code released by lenovo.
Lastly I request you to request xda to create a separate forum for A6000 on below link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1660354
A contribution from you will be a great help for further development of this awesome device.
Thanx guys lets see what xda do.

SM-S820L Lollipop Update?

Is there any way to get Android Lollipop on the Galaxy Core Prime SM-S820L? I have read about custom ROM's but I still don't know much about them and can't find any for this model. If anyone has found or created a way to flash a custom ROM onto this device, please let me know.

I also own this device, and unfortunately there is very limited support in the custom Rom department. If there was to be a lollipop Rom, someone would either have to port one somehow, or build it from source. Given the development rate for this device, I don't predict it happening anytime soon, sorry to say.

not going to happen
i have been trying since february the answer i got from my carier was samsung is contracted not to support this device thats why that is so hard to find samsung told me to take the device to bestbuy to force update if they could probably irrelavent but maby it helps

SM-S820L Got the Shaft!
Yup! This seems to be the future for the SM-S820L, or lack of future I should say.
I too have the Samsung Galaxy Core Prime SM-S820L. I have spent lots of hours scouring the internet looking through every android related forum in hopes of eventually finding someone that is undertaking much needed programming to build a custom ROM for this CorePrime version.
If you are looking for a custom recovery to use. I can point you to my and others posts over at Needrom. The best I can offer is an unofficial TWRP release, but it DOES work! It does for myself at least and I am no Android Guru whatsoever.
I guess I am not allowed to post Links in any of my posts yet because I am still a NOOB on these forums. I'll PM you with some direction my friend!
I cannot take credit for coming up with any of that software. I simply rooted around long enough to compile a collection of tools and files that worked for me to modify the Recovery of my SM-S820L.

I would love to help out as much as I can with modding your phone. Like I said, I'm not a proffesional but I have read up on the procedures used and been successful with my own Galaxy Core Prime:laugh:

Saw another post on the same subject.

@v1n0d Stop asking for nougat, we are lucky that we received marshmallow, devs are doing the possible to make nougat

And, just PLEASE, when you start typing the title, check for similar threads who are asking the same question (It'll show links when you start typing). So instead of creating new thread everytime, just post on the relevant thread.

Stop making thread asking for nougat, and please, do not bother developers.

Official TWRP Support ?

Hey all,
So I already have TWRP on my P10 plus due to talented developers. However do you think this device will get official support ?
I had a look a round but TWRP dont seem to declare what devices they are working on .
Thanks

Your thread has nothing to do with development so I've moved it.
Please pay attention to where you are creating threads in future.
