Which version of TWRP to use with J320F?

Hello there,
I own two old phones and on them I installed TWRP and also custom roms. So I have some kind of experience with twrp.
Now a friend of mine owns J320f and she is dissapointed with Lollipop and the small storage.
I searched the XDA forum but I am not sure which TWRP is the right one.
I found TWRP for J320FN: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...overy-twrp-3-1-1-0-samsung-galaxy-j3-t3628048
But there seems to be differences between F and FN.
I found TWRP for j320P https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...overy-teamwin-recovery-project-3-1-1-t3617806
But there are no experience if it works on 320f.
Since the J210f seems to be very similar (look into topic how easy Marshmallow runs on 320F). Is there a version which is usable?
But porting the j210f rom to j320f made problems with the sd card. So maybe this is a bad idea?
I don't want to brick the phone and I don't want to use warez.
Maybe someone could help?
Are there special hints when I install TWRP? Things to keep in mind to prevent a brick?

Make a full Nandroid Backup. In case something were to go wrong, you can always restore the backup

As @athaarv said, make a backup first just in case.
The TWRP for the FN should work, the major difference between the F and FN models is the F gets dual SIM slots and the FN just had a single slot.

[ROM] LineageOS 14.1 for Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) [SM-J320FN] [UNOFFICIAL] [Q&A]

Hi everyone ! this is our dedicated thread for Q&A about J3 LO14.1 ROM !

hello there...seems everybody is ignoring this part of the thread and posting in the main...LOL...well i just wanted to ask a friend of mine wanted to merge his storage in his wifes J3 2016 device so i said i would research for him as they are both not android enthusiasts,may i ask is the storage merge working on this build so can i merge the ex sd card memory with internal....thank you

I use this ROMs and merge my sd card as adobtable storage, working fine.
I use Easy Adobtable app from google play to split the sd card into 2 partitions.
10% formated as internal storage, 90% as portable.

Hey!
I really appreciate your hard work to make LineageOS on this device working.
Just wanted to build this rom for my own use as I build ROM's for all my other devices as well.
But I encountered an error when building kernel and so the build process stopped with:
make[3]: arm-eabi-gcc: command not found
I'm really wondering what caused that, because for all other devices, especially my OnePlus One, which has also a armv7-a cpu, build process is running well.
I can post the last lines of the build process (debug output) as well, but it's partial in german language.
Maybe you could start telling me what linux distro you're using for the build?
Thanks in advance.

Custom ROM with UVC full support?
Hi dear devs. You are my only hope it seems.
Is there a version of custom ROM for J320FN that includes all the good stuff for UVC functionality? I would really need such a ROM.
(Secondly, I have an old OMIZ BT Keyboard model #OMIZ6221 that connects and syncs with my J320FN and is seen correctly as "BT-FoldableKB" but doesn't work as a standard HID device. It does nothing.)
But what I really need is the UVC full support to connect an external UVC compliant USB cam. (endoscope or DVR etc).
Thanks so much for your efforts and for what you do.
Happy Christmas and a Happy 2018 !!!
P.S. I have no idea if I clicked on the right button. Please for mercy if it was not the right one.

Can we use the SDCARD as internal memory?

Yes, adobtable storage is working.
You can also split the sd card into 2 partitions using ADB command or partition tool
ie : 20% adobtable, 80 ext

How to post a new Question ?

Hi, does the camera work (take videos)
And do I have to rewrite the stock rom before installing this one or I can keep Remix resurection and replace it with Lineage-os?
sorry for my bad english

Why my wifi not working connection to the network and it says no internet. data works.
Yes my internet is working on other devices.

Hi! Can somebody help me ?
How can I change the phone model in build.prop ?
I want to play a game on phone but it not compatible with the phone. I found a solution, if I change the phone model to a better phone the game will work. I change my phone mode but in the settings is still showing SM-J320FN.

Works on j320M?
i'm about to install this rom in my J320M and i'm trying to avoid all possible errors like bootloop, wifi problems, sim problems and mobile data problems

Simply backup your nandroid device

i do want to know if the flicker and VoLTE can be solved in future versions of the monthly or main unofficial (i don't like viper OS themming style)

i do really wanna know the need of monthly updates, why these exist? it's like security patches or some polishing in the code?, i do really wanna know that because i was updating my J320m every month, and no significant difference for me in a general use

Hi, you are my only hope Is not the ROM CASTOM for the SM-J320H? I searched a lot but did not get any results Can you create a rom for sm-j320h? Thank you
Give me a quick answer

Q: do i have to reflash the rom if there is a update?

do we have any hopes for lineageOS 15.1 or 16?

Hi everybody, yesterday i have been able to install lineage-os14 on my device and everything is ok except the wifi that i can't activate.
In my home i have two ssids and i can't connect noone of them.
The system tries to connect many times and writes always (Password saved) or (Wrong password), the same password, used on my laptop is good.

Is there a guide for the J3 prime 327t1?

custom rom for galaxy tab A6 SM-T280 gtexswifixx

Is there a custom ROM for this galaxy tab? Or Lineage? I've read there's marshmallow but I haven't found it either, there doesn't seem to be a nougat version either. Or a fix for the SD card to become internal storage, I run out of internal storage even if I use SD card this is my main issue, I've been able to root it fine the problem is this. Any help is welcome, or a thread with a solution that I haven't found, thanks.

I successfully managed to root! Now what?

Alright I finally managed to root my phone. I was pretty scared that I would break my phone as a failed at installing twrp twice but my third try was my lucky try. I also have Magisk. So what do I do next? I want to download adaway, maybe lineage OS and especially ways to boost my battery life and keep my phone as a cool as a cucumber (I heard this is a myth but I'd like to see how this forum thinks. but don't know where to start if any can link some guides I would appreciate it! Also how would I begin to even theme my phone? I know there is Substratum but I want to make sure if my S5 can even support it and risk being bricked.

After rooting, you have 3 things to do, they are the beauty of rooting:
1. Disable Bloatware. (Use this)
2. Disable Adware. (Use this)
3. Control which apps can/cannot use your data. (Use this)
That's if you want to keep your phone on stock rom, if you want to install a custom rom, I suggest Lineage 14.1 (Android 7.1.2). Just go here and pickup your rom based on your S5 variant and follow the instructions to install it (by the way, you don't even had to be rooted to install a custom rom). It's the one I'm using right now and it's gorgeous!
As for Substratum, I'm using it now and it's nice, it didn't brick my S5 or anything, I'm using a dark theme which is nice and also good for battery life.
Hope that helps.

Thanks for this useful and detailed response , just won't to ask you I can use a custom rom on a S5 (G900H) uncertified and roioted only say that have only 179 MB in internal storage ?
, thank for any answer and help,

Can anyone recommend a rom that is focused on performance? I'm using my S5 for my drone live feed and need it to run as efficiently as possible since its kinda old.

There's no ROM for S5 that has only 179 MB, the smallest one I can think of right now is the one I referred to in my previous reply; LineageOS 14.1. This ROM has several characteristics that makes it the most suitable ROM for S5 including but not limited to:
1. Small in size (about 300 MB (not including GApps).
2. Already rooted.
3. Fast and lite.
4. Latest Android version (7.1.2)
5. Supported by all S5 variants (including 900H).

Yes İ have J5 2015 - j500f
İ have parts on my sdcard. But the other roms didnt see these parts. And İ formated card and particioned again but couldnt send data to sd card ex4 after that..
So İ removed that roms. İ only can use Ex4 for sending some app data with this Pie rom. İt works only this rom for me.
İ hope i can tell what İ want to tell in Eng.
