READ... before write!
"Marshmallow is not supported yet, implementation is in progress."
reg

I'd like to see it continued for the J510GN, but sadly -FN seems to be the most popular device

Definitely worth continuing this rom.Have v1.1 which is pretty much faultless.Tried to get v3 but was never able to find it.Have this working with the pixel launcher and cherry 1.1.3 and it's great.Even flashed it with nougat bootloader and nougat baseband.No probs whatsoever.IMO the best stock MM rom.Only downside is obviously the security patch being so old.

Which should be the best (working) ROM for Samsung J5 (SM-J500f)?

I triedAOSP and Lineage OS. But both of them showed the fading and discoloration of the screen during boot, meaning that they were compatible. I am currently downloading the Stock firmware but would like to know whether there are any better ROMs out there than these.
Edit: The stock firmware is giving invalid zip error.

Have you installed Lollypop (5.1.1) before trying the ROMs?

No, I have not. Should I flash a Marshmallow ROM first?

No, read OP, you need Lollypop firmware, just install 5.1 then install this Ron or any time that requires firmware 5.1
You also need recovery compatible with 5.1 like TWRP from Vince (OFFICIAL TWRP) you can download from TWRP site https://twrp.me/devices/j5lte.html

It all depends, if you want to have great camera or you are into taking pictures, never flash AOSP roms, because their camera is a loot worst compared to touchwiz camera (samsungs camera app is optimized like hell)

If you are curious and want to unveil your phone's power I suggest you AOSP/Lineage based ROMs.
Camera isn't enhanced as stock propietary crapwiz one, but works fine. If you love pictures, better you go with a pro Cybershot camera or similar.
I prefer paying the price of freedom and use free software than stay tied to proprietary closed source crapwiz.

Yup it almost works on all Samsung MM based Custom Roms or Ports like A5UX Rom , J2UX Rom etc.

Im also pretty keen to know what ROM you guys think is most suitable ? I am currently using stock 5.1.1 rom on J500F, anything better out there ? Would doing a factory reset on stock 5.1.1 and removing bloatware maybe be the best ? Not trying to hijack the thread but as mentioned im also looking for something as stable with less bloatware and better battery life. Thank You !

You can't get better battery life than stock lollipop + hard debloat, period.
Lollipop is the best for me, plus camera sucks on all custom roms

the smoothest rom is XeonHD , and AOSPextended both are extremely optimized except the camera is not that good , if you don't take pics often i suggest that you install either of them

AOSP-CAF based, are the goods. XenonHD is the better Lineage based rom. You have many options to choose one that fits your needs. Camera is fine, I don't complain about that, You should try to choose the better one that fits your needs.

Thanks for the reply Ragazzza, could i ask which method you used to debloat ? Also did you possibly install a custom recovery and root the phone ?

Picture quality is extremely important for me, i am leaning towards stock.
Have you ran into any problems with XenonHD Taivo ? You say the camera is fine, do you mean its not that much worse than with the stock rom but a little bit of a degradation ? Thanx

i didn't run into any problem in xeon an excellent rom , i recommend it

i could always give them both a try, you guys recommend this method to debloat ? https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/
Then just need a recovery that will work with stock and XeonHD rom

@Ragazzza debloat zip is very nice if you're in stock. XenonHD satisfied me, very nice and smooth ROM. You should give a try to test by yourself. My better pictures I got with my Cybershot camera. Pictures are fine for daily use, and you have Vince's TWRP that works in lollipop and marshmallow, you choose the correct for your device. And from within TWRP you could debloat too, using the embedded explorer or flashing Ragazzza zip or whatever you want even with no root in your system.

Thanks Taivotat, im going to give it a try when my warranty is up, still have a remainder of 4 months, for now i want to backup>factory reset>debloat, anything other than debloat.zip that you recommend on stock rom without twrp ?

Without twrp, better you try that no root debloat you show us before..
And if you follow correctly the steps to flash twrp, dont need to be afraid. Its from twrp that you could flash a debloater zip, for example, even without root...
You can stay with stock debloated, twrp and no root.
Hope you understand.

If you not into customization try lineage and try zetsubou kernel.
if you into customization go for rr but its not that stable and snappy, if you use just themeing as customization try nuclea/viper they have oms suppport and try zetsubou kernel for them as well.
my suggestion/rating LOS>Viper=nuclea>RR

Bro, is the bootloader is locked by default in redmi 2, because I need to flash TWRP. So, do I need to flash TWRP via ADB or any other can be used..

No, the bootloader isn't locked..
You can flash TWRP via ADB as well as by flashing the img file through Flashify app or TWRP app (if you're rooted).

we are fortunate enough so, bootoader is not locked
to flash recovery boot into fastboot mode and have usb drivers and ADB installed readily place your phone in fastboot mode and make sure your recover is in the same folder where you have ADB, now press shift and right click select open command window here and type fastboot flash recover name_of_your recovery.img and do make sure your directory or folder name should not have spaces. eg c:\folder name/adb.... is not acceptable it should be c:\folder_name/adb....
if you face any problem feel free to ask or pm
happy flashing!

Thanks for your precious advices.. I will pm you if I get any error..

Is it safe to install zetsubou in lineage because i have no issues in lineage kernel what are the benefit of installing zetsubou and any problems u face in zetsubou with lineage

Yes! Its safe Zetsubou will give you enhanced performance and your battery life i.e S.o.t will decrease. With zetsubou you might get a bit heating issue as its over clocked for performance. I'm using stock for now.

That depends on your rom, give me details i will confirm and let you know. tell me ROM (and version), Kernel.
And if you using any mod it might freeze.(sound mod and root)

Nope! I am not using any mods!
Lineage os 7.1.2 NJH47Fb3d7329c24

In that case try Cosmic/nuclea and please do not backup data from titanium backup it causes fc and freeze. and clean flash the rom wipe everything but memory card, flash pico gapps (if you want assistant flash nano). And hope you will experience better performance. Lineage recent 3 releases had issues so i also switched and would recommend.

Comments on the sad fact that stock rom is the best performer?

It means we have come a long way from earlier days where stock ROMs used to be terrible. XD XD
Don't need to fix what isn't broken XD

I am happy with treble + stock + Magisk + Xposed.

No comment of you own? Or are you dumbfounded that all the hype about custom kernels/roms don't add up?

Stock ROMs are best for people who are loyal to the handset manufacturers and are extremely cautious about security. But if you are someone who wants fast performance and customizations, then stock ROMs (except miui type ROMs) are no match to custom ROMs.

Disagree with this, anyone loyal to manufacturers ROM would not have bought an A1 with Android One, In the past I have spent ages changing ROM's or debloating to get a pure Android experience without manufacturers bloat. Anyone loyal to the manufacturers would have bought a MIUI based phone and not and Android One phone in the first place.
With the A1 you get that pure Android experience which for me is the best experience as the OP says.

Need A Oreo based Daily driver rom for Redmi 3S prime with autocall recording feature

Basically what the title says, as for why i need oreo instead of pie rom cause an app called Bkash wont work on any custom pie rom so i am forced to use older version of android,if you please share your experience and suggest a oreo that would be very helpful to me. This is my primary device so stability+good battery backup and call recording is my main concern.
