This repo contains lineageos 17 builds for all Galaxy A5 SM-A500 variants!
How to install lineageos 17:
Flash twrp recovery
Wipe system, data, cache, and dalvik if you are using a different rom or android version (for example lineage 16.0), otherwise, if you are just updating lineageos 17.0 you won't have to do that.
Flash lineageos 17.0 zip
Flash your variant's RIL fix zip otherwise RIL (the ability to make calls, send sms, connect through cellular data) will probably not work
Optional but recommended: download and flash gapps
Reboot
NOTE: temporary: If you upgrade or reinstall lineageos 17.0 you will have to reflash gapps otherwise your device will bootloop. If you didn't install gapps, you can ignore this step
IMPORTANT!
As written above you will have to flash RIL-fix zip to make RIL working.
If your variant is SM-A500FU, you will not have to flash any RIL-fix zip!
RIL zip contains device-specific libsec-ril.so and libsec-ril-dsds.so, if the device supports dual sim.
In addition it also contains a script to change build.prop device-name props from SM-A500FU ones to your variant's ones.
Here are the RIL-fix zips. Make sure you install the one corresponding to your variant!
