Is it for a5 2016 a-510F
????

---

nope, but you can try, but before try make a backup, obviusly, if it will work you may encounter some problems such as wifi that doesn't work. Maybe if I will find kernel sources, I will try to port on a510

---

Thanks for reply. I just bought this phone yesterday so I am not installing twrp and root yet.
Soon or later we will be having customs roms for a5 2016 because this mobile is becoming very popular. 235 euros in Spain now.

Hello... this ROM is also compatible with the model Galaxy A5 SM-A500F "a5lte" ?!
Thanks man!

---

Thank you bro

---

I think you can try. This rom is for a500fu (i forgot to say this in the thread), but phone specs are similar. you can try, but probably you will encounter some more bugs. Ah if you want to try, make a backup before flash the ROM

@DeadSquirrel01 this is one of my favourite roms. Any way you could build this for the A500F?

This isn't for the A5 (2016)
It's for A500FU (2015)

Nope only a500fu, a500f, a500h, a500g, but it's tested only on a500fu

Hello @DeadSquirrel01
To ROM works in others variants, you need build a "old-style" zip package (with install, META-INF, system folders, boot.img, libs and modem symlinks from A500x stock ROM) because that block based updates cannot be flashed on other variants.
Regards.

Well, it can works also without these files, but if not, you need to copy some proprietary files into /system/lib and all files located in /firmware and /firmware-modem

I will surely try on a5h soon and will give feedback
