This is a build of OmniROM 7.1.2 (Nougat) for the Samsung Galaxy SL (GT-I9003)
Things to take a note of

This ROM is still a Work In Progress. As such, some features do not work, as listed ahead

GApps is NOT RECOMMENDED as there is very low amount of /system partition space

Make sure you keep a backup of your files. If flashing from stock, this WILL wipe every partition

This ROM does not come with CJK fonts to make it fit in the /system partition. Therefore, Chinese text rendering will be broken

This ROM does not come with AOSP WebView or Chromium. They will be offered separately

This ROM is not rooted. Flash a root zip manually.

Steps to flash

Reboot to Recovery.

Wipe Data / Factory Reset.

Select the ROM zip from your SD Card and flash.

Reboot

Last Updated 2017-08-26 Great work, I suggested this to be considered for a shoutout from XDA.
Contact me if you want me to edit the stickied thread in General and update it to reflect your Nougat port waiting to try LOS, can you post the instruction & the download link thanks. LineageOS: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BwV3ZBepyFp0NV9oX3lTdTNUZDA
GApps recommended: https://opengapps.org Pico package
In case it doesn't print my messages:
1. WARNING! This update removes the Internal SD card for a bigger /system and /data. Make a backup of everything present in your Internal SD card.
2. This update uses a different logical partitioning scheme (LVM, for those who know it). Reverting back to an old ROM is non-trivial.
3. The first time you flash the update package, it checks if you're on the new partitioning scheme. If not (like on older ROMs), it will reboot into this ROM's TWRP build. Reflash the package from TWRP.
4. Before applying the new partitioning scheme, it warns you of data loss (due to formatting of partitions) and exit with an error. Make sure you have backed up any important data and reflash the ROM file to accept the procedure. It will format the Internal SD Card and continue installing.
5. ***EFS IS BACKED UP TO THE EXTERNAL SD CARD***. If there is no External SD card, it should warn you and ask you to pull the efs folder to your computer via adb (adb pull /tmp/efs /some/place/safe)
Note:
1. I'm still fixing issues related to GApps, currently the Google Sign In page does not load (and so doesn't Jelly [Browser]). To access the internet, you'll need to install a different browser. Firefox and Chrome work nicely
2. Camera doesn't work
3. Connectivity is complete. Phone is usable, SMSes can be received. I couldn't test Mobile Data, however.
4. GPS is non-working
5. After I'm done fixing issues with GApps, you should format /data (WARNING: Contains the emulated SD card. Make a backup), install the update and without exiting recovery, install GApps (Cited from the OpenGApps wiki).
Cheers! sorry for my bad English.
My phone stayed in internal memory and does not recognize the micro sd.
Come back again and again to recovery I'm assuming you've flashed my update zip, and it rebooted to TWRP.
TWRP should have an option in the Install menu to choose from where to select the zip file. Choose Micro SD Card in that and you should be able to install the ROM again
This time you try to install, it will warn you of data loss [1] and exit with an error. Just flash the zip file again and it should continue
[1]: (which, now that I think of it, is no longer useful, considering you can't access those partitions) sorry for my bad English.
My phone stayed in internal memory and does not recognize the micro sd.
Come back again and again to recovery Great work! I will try as soon as possible.
Can I suggest to open a new thread, with lineage is in the title. It will be useful for other people to find this ROM ( it will be more easy also from google search)
Best Regards and good work Thanks for the compliments
Yeah, I'm planning to start another thread (and possibly delete this one) after I've got a few features fixed (Bluetooth in particular)
Cheers! Status update on LineageOS port:
Bluetooth seems to be working fine now.
Mobile Data doesn't work
GPS works (tested with Google Maps)
Performance is (as expected) slow.
No hardware decoding of video is available at the moment
Cheers! Could take a while, I was patching files on my phone so I'll need to build an update zip
EDIT: Since the build and upload could take a lot of time, here's the file to replace. Place this file as /system/lib/hw/bluetooth.default.so
