In this thread there's everything that you need
Besides that, remember to enable magisk hide in magisk config otherwise it won't work

Guys, it's optional but in this rom I recommend change the display size to small.
Config>display>display size and set to small
Cause the j5 screen isn't so big and some thing doesn't looks good in default display size (have cuts when your swipe quick settings in landscape mode for example)
But this is my opinion, test for your own

Work and i like it:laugh:
