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-Replaced outdated WebView with Bromite WebView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.

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!

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:

Sorry, i throught it is in all recent build,
But it seems to be only in T or S versions
Apparently Roland (ronnz98) created another, newer build which installed fine, and works flawlessly from what I see so far. Big thanks @ronnz98 and piero!
Thanks for the feedback. Great to hear that it works!
I forgot to post the lasted update for version Q 1.17 also here, please see main post:
Since Q reached end of life this will be last version. For R I could not build, but maybe someone wants to try this.
I had to go through a few boxes to find the old devise on which I had a problem like that and found a Galaxy A3 2016 that did that, too! I put a note on it 4-5 month ago.
And funny enough, it still did it today.
It was after a factory reset on stock Android 7 and it stayed on the Samsung boot logo, vibrating…
My SOLUTION: After I left it for +1h doing it… I unplugged it from the charger and it booted right away.
So, did you have yours on the charger, too?
Hi, no I didn’t have it on the charger, as I said above it was the newest build that only worked for me.
Cheers!
