Any one tried Lineage OS 14.1 for SM-J120H Samsung J1 2016? - Samsung Galaxy J1 Questions & Answers

Hello everyone!
I searched on Google Custom ROM for Samsung J1 SM-J120H but i can't find any Rom
Then I found one post on Facebook Install Lineage OS 14.1 Custom Rom for SM-J120H/DS Samsung J1 2016
If anyone tried this Rom please tell me

Yeah, flashed that in my J120M/DS (after making some changes to the install script), and it bricked my device. I had to flash the phone's firmware via ODIN to restore it.
After investigating the ROM itself, it seems like it's not compatible with any Exynos 3475 Galaxy J1 phone. The install script assumes incorrect mount points, and when you change those mount points the installation succeeds but the OS never boots up. I suspect these are baked into the boot.img image, and so to boot the rom up, system wide changes have to be made.
I don't know if the J120H uses different mount points or lacks an Exynos 3475 SOC, but the latter seems to be the answer. J1xlte phones (J1 with Exynos3475) are extremely hard to develop for. This phone has been out for four years now and there's no stable ROM yet, and probably there won't be any soon.
In conclusion, you may be able to use this ROM if your Galaxy J1 2016 phone has a Spreadtrum SOC. If it doesn't, it won't install.

There are some ROMs, sadly, those are not stable, i tried all of the Nougat ROMs and bluetooth were activating after 7 seconds, those ROMs doesn't pass SafetyNet, have bugs with FM Radio, GPS, and even doesn't recognize any alarm, notification and ringtone on sound picker, i highly recommend you to stick with Stock ROM

Grand Prime not booting AOSP ROMs

Please help me! To all the developers whom i know of?
@KoSett @Has.007 @zim555 @Boulaxx
My variant G530FXXU does not boot AOSP and MiUi roms mainly all the other roms other than Sammy roms.
My device boots each of the sammy roms.
Several users with the same g530f did report that AOSP extended and RR and LineageOS roms successfully boot in their phones.
Even the 5.1.1 roms like Cyanogenmod 12.1, RR 5.1.1 and LiquidDark does not boot for me even after flashing ExplosionKernel (by @CarlosArriaga ) which is supposed to work because Explosion Kernel boots for me on every Samsung rom. (5.0.2 or 5.1.1)
So, its probably not anything to do with the kernel, I saw in another thread about wiping preload partitions, i did manually try wiping the preload partition via TWRP File manager yet doesnt work.
I found a thread that explains my situation here(the exact same situation). I really want to try any Google rom, Please help me.
This is the thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/solved-galaxy-s3-booting-aosp-aokp-t2775669
Id be really grateful,
Thanks,

Which version and ROM of Android would you recommend for a P605?

I turned on my Note 2014 10.1 today for the first time in, apparently, over a year. And it still had over 90% battery charge on it after all that time. Impressive. It has root access and I'm running version 5.1.1 of Android on it. But I figure there's a newer stable version out by now that I could update the device to. But which one is the most stable, good on battery usage and performance, and with the best features?
Also, I've never used a custom modded ROM before, and I don't have any particular interest in doing abnormal things. So, unless they would offer some performance / power / security / feature or usability advantage, I probably don't need one.
Which ROM would you install to a Note 2014 P605 today?
One ROM I've looked at is this port of Android 6.0.1 - reported to be stable and good for daily use:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-10-2014/development/rom-android-6-marshmallow-t3254901
I notice there are ROMs of Android 7 and 8, but I don't know if any of them very stable, with good performance, issue-free.
I'd love to know too.. Also is there a ROM that enables smooth playback of h265 videos?
Thanks
Nothing is as stable as a stock rom. And instead of the basic AOSP 6 you can as well stay with Touchwiz 5.0.
Or install LOS14/16/17, all several generations ahead.
My P605 is running rock solid with LOS 14.1 Nougat by @davidmueller13.
Unless you definitely need the s-pen functions (which can be bought as an app afaik) I recommend switching to a new ROM to get newer safety patch levels.
And David's best supported rom is the old Los 14.1.
I'm torn in between going back from Los16 and waiting for an update to the Los17(alpha) from early this year.
S-Pen works in third-party and Samsung apps available in Playstore and you can use it system- wide instead of your finger. Not more.
i need help i can't find the OEM option in the developer mode in my samsung 10.1 2014 i tried fastboot method and i was stuck on waiting for any device i need to be able to install twrp i have tried odin with no success . any suggestion pls
You can't unlock the bootloader?
That's not possible with some P605s with provider branding.
One major hurdle when attaching the device to a pc can be overcome by invoking Fastboot at power - on and then attaching the phone, instead of establishing an ADB connection which will require a reboot into Fastboot mode later on.
Good evening. I am completely new to modded rom installations. Is there perhaps a step by step guide on hoe to install the LOS Roms to my device?
Thanks

Problems with Galaxy Wearables after rooting and upgrading to android 10 with Havoc

I have rooted and upgraded my galaxy note 3 with Havoc toa custom rom, android 10 using Odin to load Twrp and loading Havoc and Gapps from the phone based twrp. All went well but, when I tried to install the Galaxy wearables I got an error that the phone OS was modified so the Galaxy waerables will not work. I would like to connect the upgraded phone to my active 2 watch. Samsung pay is not important to me. Any idea guys?
Needs stock Samsung firmware or a Samsung based rom .

Want to find a fix to all custom ROM's bootlooping on my SM-J320FN (did not bootloop before)

Want to find a fix to all custom ROM's bootlooping on my SM-J320FN (did not bootloop before)
[
or alternatevly, i was wondering if modifying a some samsung galaxy SM-J320[something] nougat rom, to work on SM-J320FN would be possible (it has only android5.1.1 (lollipop) stock rom as far as im aware and i have searched quite a lot).
]
The thing is, i have the SM-J320FN (twrp and rooted) and for a while i ran various custom roms (based on nougat) on it with no problems. But then about a year ago it bootlooped on resurrection remix (which i had ran with not many problems for 1/2year). Then every custom rom (i tried RR, DotOS, ViperOS and more) began to give me a bootloop, only flashing the stock rom booted.
I wiped and formated everything i could, tried same country stock rom that i had originally and a different country one (thinking maybe the custom roms were not happy with something inside the stock rom that it was flashed after, but logically it does not seem even possible, as before flashing the custom one, the old one is wiped), but custom rom's just did not boot anymore. I could not log the boot either because it had boot animation but nothing showed in adb, i guess it did not get so far that it could connect with adb.
I suspect this may be caused by my camera not working (some hardware part most likely got damaged), because i think wiping my phone completely and flashing stock rom with Odin should restore every software part on the phone thus it would have to be something with hardware that's causing custom roms to bootloop, how else could the problem persist (i obviously might be wrong).
I don't remember when exactly the camera stopped working but i know for a fact that i had a custom rom at the same time, and it did not bootloop (for some time at least) and im also curious why this has not ever stopped the stock rom from booting if it is the case.
So basically what i wish i could do are two things. Firstly find what makes the stock roms able to boot correctly opposed to the custom ones. And secondly implement this to a similar models higher version rom or a custom rom (Nougat). Come to think of this, it seems a useful step to look how did the people that made these Nougat based rom's for SM-J320FN modify the rom so that it could run on it, the source code is open after all.
Why i want to have a higher android version on my phone? Because my countrys corona close contact detection app supports only 6.0 or higher and my banking app recently notified me that they will soon end support for my android version too (this is the real pusher for me as i use it very frequently and there is not really an alternative). And it would be nice to have some other apps too, that not compatible with Lollipop.
And yes, i know, just buying a newer phone would solve all my problems But im a minimalistic (and without money) person. The fact that i own a phone that is still working (or fixable) stops me mentally from buying a new one. Also as one would guess, i like tinkering with this kind of stuff (i study CS currently) and building a rom myself for my phone sounds like a cool and challenging project, as i have not done anything like this before (maybe this will help me: [guide]how to build/modify roms for samsung devices [7.0/6.0.1/maybe more]).
Anyways, i kinda got carried away with this post. But for now im tired and have to sleep so i'll just post this and will come back later to read this over, fix some mistakes (not a native english speaker) and add things i maybe missed.
If anyone read this through, im impressed and if you have the knowledge/time to answer then i Thank You in advance!
i need help i tried to install re dreaux but my phone bootloop on touch wiz custom rom so how can i fix that

sm-t585 help of install gsi and android 11 gsi

hello, as title say i've got the tab a 10.1 2016 , lte version. i would like to install lineageos 18 (android 11) on this device, because it still work good and overall performance it's still good (not with the stock one, very slow). i tried this with twrp 3.5.0 (latest version), it flashes the img file, but it wont run and goes bootloop. then i flashed the modified twrp 3.2.3 for treble, flashed the treble.zip and the img file of lineageos (i seeked for a-only and 64bit version), but it ends in bootloop. so what's wrong with it? i noticed that only lineageos 16 gsi or other 9.0 roms run fine, going on android 10 gsi it wont be recognized. there's a way to get the android 11 gsi working on this device? it should be compatible, as from oreo it should be supported with treble project.
Hi. I am new to flashing but is it possible you have to upgrade the bootloader first in order to be able to upgrade to lineageOS 18 (android 11)? Just according to my understanding from that thread. if you have older bootloader then it wont work. But i am new so i might be wrong and totally off
i think that it doesn't depend on the bootloader, but the recovery hasn't been updated anymore by the developer. he might have lost interest in the device, so that stopped building roms too. the tablet was not that bad, but for my experience, too much slow and the battery didn't last so much. for these reasons i gave up and ended in selling it, replaced with the sm-t500 (tab a7 2020). waaay better tablet, now waiting for someone who unlocks this little beast and builds a custom recovery or rom.
