An updated build for the J5 Pro (J530)

Well, guys, unfortunately, the ROM maintainer for the J530 passed away recently, and all of his projects ended up disappearing because they were hosted on a home server.
Could someone please create a new version for the J530? We have Lineage Android 10 running without any major bugs; I’m available to help with testing if needed.

Hello @Joaopedr00, Welcome to the /e/ users forum.

I guess you are talking about (j5y17lte).

latest /e/OS possible android 10 based version is the outdated e-1.17-q (dropped in 2023,November) [UNOFFICIAL BUILD][Q][A10] Samsung J5 2017 - SM-J530F (j5y17lte) / https://xdaforums.com/t/discontinued-unofficial-q-a10-sm-j530f-e-os-for-samsung-j5-2017-j5y17lte-bye-google-hello-privacy.4171027/

the e-1.17-q-20231225-CUSTOM-j5y17lte.zip seems not available anymore.
You should reproduce SteadfasterX custom build using his manifest :

Here : [UNOFFICIAL BUILDS] Samsung Galaxy J5 series for /e/OS-R - #6 by ronnz98 is missing the (j5y17lte) device…

.

Why not simply use AXP-OS version ?
Samsung J5 - 2017 – The AXP.OS Project
it is surely newer than e-1.17-q

.

Edit : AXP-OS download is out

The author of this port passed away two weeks ago, and everything about him has disappeared, including his other projects.

For me, version 1.17 is excellent; I only use the device for basic tasks.

AXP OS is off too

Some of his friends, and regular community members are currently trying to organise themselves …
