the Spreadtrum SC9830A kind - tested on a J320FN. There’s also a msm8916 variant, but this isn’t for it. I haven’t built yet for SM-J320F/G/M (j3xlte).
Build from the v1-nougat branch with lineage/cm-14.1, the last version this device saw a release for on XDA. Apart from the proprietary files one needs two fixes on a patch script in the vendor and the kernel if someone retries.
had problems uploading with Androidfilehost so I put it here: this will last from a few days to a week max. Can reupload anytime someone pulls the device out of a drawer or until AFH works again.
Install: boot into twrp 3.1.1 or flash it to the recovery, then use the sideload method.
I’ll try to improve a little bit on it and update the thread - at least on the Webview and possibly microG. It’s just for fun though, no one should rely on a Nougat build.
Bugs: there’s a little quirk with Mail activity surfacing 2 times in the launcher. A bug in the Apps manifest. Can be removed via sqlite query on bliss’ database.
Hey, can you re-upload please? Transfer.sh says “Not Found”. I have a SM-J320FN and I’ve been looking and this is the only /e/OS Port, and I would really like to have /e/OS on my Phone.
The Samsung J Series Line up is a very niche one, as hardly no one knows that Samsung even made that Line up, it’s nice to know somebody that has the same phone.
you’re reading past all the text - nothing is up to date, this was built from the last branches of nougat.
I tried to do a v1.6 nougat build that would update the Apps, but I had crashes with multiple apps (AppLounge, Calendar, Bliss, AdvancedPrivacy missing) so let that one go.
Hi… I am also an user of Galaxy J3 2016… since I bought one in 2017, I think… to replace my Lumia 532.
Last weekend, I launched the Youtube app and the app says to switch to youtube.com and that device is no longer supported. Crazy move from Google to start dumping devices out of service when they are still capable.
I myself tried some roms available from cof xda in 2018 but I gave up using them when the device got firmware locked… (I presume that google did it when I instaleld the services)… and I had to revert everything with Odin back to android 5.1.1.
Anyways, today I google search roms for j320fn and this forum appeared. I saw 2022… and I started reading. Good someone brought nougat back.
So I wonder… Is there updates to this /e/OS ROM?
I am looking for a debloated ROM… no mail, no play store, no microsoft software, etc…
One thing I am still facing (my j3 2016 still runs the exact same software that Odin flashed ages ago) is the constant lack of eMMC space. I had to desactivate almost everything… maps, gmail, word, excel, powerpoint, onedrive, cellphone mobile compony apps, google photos… and after that Whatsapp, firefox, and few more apps consume lots of space.
I don’t need s.planner, and other apps…
Just a clean ROM with phone app, messages app, and a few more apps… and most important… a dark theme for settings/notifications… And obviously the default apps partition to be reduced so I can have at least 6GB free of eMMC storage.
