Hello!
Personally im not waiting for any update as Touchwiz Marshmallow is crap compared to Touchwiz Lollipop, but you may be interested.
We had a Marshmallow thread and here is Nougat one.
In this thread you can discuss everything which is related to the new update.
According to Sammobile, the Galaxy J series will get Nougat update in July: https://www.sammobile.com/2017/02/1...laxy-note-5-in-turkey-by-the-end-of-february/ .
I dont know if Galaxy J5 (2015) will get the update, but J5 (2016) should get for sure. Who knows, maybe J5 2015 will get too.
You can contact Samsung Live Chat support (google it) and ask about it and then post screenshot here.
Also, there has been two screenshots of Samsung Live Chat posted by a guy in a Facebook group where Samsung says about J series.
Screenshot 1:
Screenshot 2:

Which Samsung Live Chat support did you contact?
I just contacted Samsung Australia (thats what showed up at the google search) lol.
This is what they have said:
They said that they have own resources. Maybe Samsung from other countries are not up to date? lol. I dont know.

I asked australia too. Maybe the employee I asked was dumb XD

They always say yes, even if it is not true ...
?

I also came across a post which said that j series would get a nougat update.And it said turkey would get it first but i think j series would be j(2016) as j(2015) has already gone through an upgradation and sammy couldn't care more!!

I asked Samsung Hong Kong Live Chat, and they said Marshmallow(not Nougat) may come to SM-J5108 in early March or later. They don't know about Nougat yet. :silly: how come my J5 2016 hasn't got android 6 :/

Meh.
The other models seems to have other date than the ones mentioned on Sammobile, which is trustworthy.
But we will see.
Anyway, Marshmallow on our J5 2015 is laggy and has bad ram management compared to Lollipop which is smoother, so im not expecting anything from a new update.

---

^True. I'm using 5.1.1 just because its amazingly fast, and I wish i could make a Note 5 rom based on 5.1.1. I'm working on it but probably not gonna happen

Marshmallow works well in 2016, maybe because of the reduced memory it has in 2015
Like Windows when installing a more modern version of the operating system, it takes up more RAM
From 2GB Ram, 1.2GB is always used in my phone

Samsung should put at least 3GB ram in their phones if its running Touchwiz xD.

I wish someone could just create a highly debloated barebones version of touchwiz lollipop, it'll be awesome in terms of battery life

Please do it.. No additional customization or n5 app required.. Highly debloated it should be..
And do use the latest Indian lollipop firmware (for volte).. :silly:

really? ok XD are you gonna be my tester? cuz i dont have j500f, but doing the rom on it should be the same as mine (j500fn)
rom should be done in a couple of days since its really really easy to just debloat and put some easy stuff in it
+screenshots of debloating will come after a few mins

Yup... I tried debloating but maybe I deleted one or more core apps and it bootlooped so I didn't tried much but I noticed battery backup was great in touchwiz LP and no created a barebones version..
Currently I'm on RR 6.0.1 which has better backup than rr 5.1.1 but still less than Touchwiz LP..
