New build is here!
Changelog:
-Updated to version 0.13 Q with November security patch
-Added new kernel and zRAM for best performance (thank you itexpert.120 xda)
hi @The_Penguin,
i have just installed your e-0.13-q-20201127-UNOFFICIAL-j5xnlte build without difficulties
on a SM-J510FN,
i am more than a bit surprised about the permissions ( all greyed )
required by your FM Radio application to work ! " com.android.fmradio "
it was not the case in the first pie version e-0.11-p-20200908-UNOFFICIAL-j5xnlte
with " com.caf.fmradio "
I hope i have neutralized the FMRadio Application by changing the extension ( .apk to .abk ) of a file :
/system/priv-app/FMRadio/FMRadio.apk
Please @harvey186 what do you think of that ?
There are existing more respectful FM Radio apps.
for the moment i will install the pie build,
Thanks @The_Penguin for building /e/OS for this device
The FM radio is the typical lineage FM radio, don’t worry about it.
New build is here!!!
Changelog:
-January security patch
-Updated to 0.14 version
Sorry for taking so long to update this, i was focusing on other ROMs.
New build is here!!!
Changelog:
-Removed weather and browser apps
-Replaced outdated WebView with Bromite WebView
The browser removal and WebView replacement are temporary, when /e/ developers update them i will revert the changes (the weather app removal is permanent until I change my opinion about it)
Please some forum admin move this to custom builds section.
Thanks in advance.
The Penguin
I used this Rom, it is so cool
but I need Google play and google play service for some app
how do I install it?
play services is not recommended and replaced by microG.
you can check if your app is supported here:
I was very happy to find this rom. Have been using it for a week now and the only issue was with the dialer. When i started a call, the app crashes leaving the call still running. replaced with simple dialer and it’s fine.
thanks for your work
The dialer thing is weird because it never crashed for me, as soon as /e/ devs update the browser app i will make a new build.
Ok, i just made a new build and i added all the apps i deleted before, i also synced prebuiltapks with aayush_test branch which has the browser and webview updated, enjoy people!
New build with official browser update, enjoy!
New build is here!!!

New build is up!
Changelog:
-May security patch
-Updated to 0.17 version
Sorry for the delay
Hi @The_Penguin, do you plan futher updates for this model? Is it safe to use the last update of May '21 or is it too old?
As a general remark, it’s kind of a pity that J5 500FN is officially supported (on which I installed /e/ already) but this dual-sim brother of it is not
Hi ronnz98, I tried your build using this procedure [HOWTO] Install /e/ on a Samsung smartphone with Windows easily , everything installed fine with no errors until the e os animation screen (9), where the battery is making a constant vibration of about 2-3 seconds leading to a phone reboot.
I have used Odin3_v3.14.4
, twrp-3.7.0_9-0-j5xnlte.img.tar
, and your build e-1.15-q-20230913-UNOFFICIAL-j5xnlte.zip
could you try using twrp 3.3.x-x
(twrp can install it, Odin is not need)
if don’t work, try using the recovery-e that is included in the .ZIP
(twrp can install it, Odin is not need)
are you sure baterry is charged enought ?
(it don’t charge when on download mode)
HI piero, thanks for your help, I tried it with twrp-3.3.1-1-j5xnlte.img.tar
and twrp-3.4.0-0-j5xnlte.img.tar
, same results, the phone restarts after the e/os animation and a vibrating of ~2 seconds. Battery is ok, it was around 70-85%.
I searched for the recovery-e
in the .zip but is seems it is not included in the latest .zip, nor in OP’s original:
