If you would like to test Marshmallow Update on your Galaxy J7 then follow the external links below, keep it mind that it is a build not final/official by Samsung. So you may face some bugs. It's better make a nandroid backup before you go. Oh, you may loose your Root (if rooted), I did not try it yet! :)

Go to the link (Delete Spaces):

Hi Everyone !! :)

I was looking for j7 official development thread on XDA , But I couldn't found it , SO I THOUGH IT WOULD BE NICE TO

POST MY QUERY HERE < I BELIEVE U GUYS WOULD HELP ME //

So, I'm from INDIA, And I intended to buy SAMSUNG GALAXY J7 . from Flipkart.

I'm Aware of That j7 has missing some basic sensors (Ambient,compass)

Speaker isn't Much LOUD

This is something I can live with .

But the things that bothering me that i found on XDA is

1. No Existence on XDA (mean like no official page)

2.Bad camera quality people on xda complaining about it even though on youtube reviewers are saying its good ..

3.Does it lags after some days usage.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
J7 (SM-J700F/SM-J700H) Devices were only released in some Asian countries, like India ,Malaysia, Sri Lanka, etc.

So, Most developers on XDA are from US or western countries, so they did not create an official page for J7.

The camera quality is absolutely amazing, when compared with other devices with 13MP cameras.

The reason why people complaining is, the gallery app fails to rescan the image when zooming the image. Use some other gallery app.

Proof :

If the device lag after using some days, use some cleaning app, like "CCleaner" from play store.

So Hows The Performance OF J700f after installing apps and after days usage... Unbiased Reviews Please

What's Wrong With the Camera In j700f
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I've been heavily using the device (SM-J700F) for some time now (maybe 4-5 days [The phone is not mine,, so ;) ) and didn't notice any lag or anything,

I installed a lot of apps (including Facebook, Whatsapp, FB Messenger, etc.) and a lot of games (small games like, temple run, angry birds) (and a lot of big games like GTA San Andreas, Mortal Kombat and Asphalt 8, Lego Batman etc.)

And, the phone never slowed down. It handled anything I throw at it, like a boss :D Like it should, considering it's supposed to be a "gaming device" so,

Many thanks to Samsung there.

For further info about performance, watch this video. (This is the Indian varient SM-J700F)

If the video is not loading, click here to open in youtube . com

Oh, and the phone never got any heating problems.

After heavy gameplay for about 30-35 minutes, The back of the phone was warm, but not hot. :cool:

Resetting flash counters by using Triangle Away only works with versions below Jelly Bean ! Samsung introduced Knox Security from Jelly Bean (Android version 4.3 and above) which is a tight security ! I guess the mighty [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] has to work on with new security system by Samsung to overcome it ! Until then there is no known method to break the tripping of Knox ! We can hope more in the future :):good:

[IMG="Camera Comparison"]http://s30.postimg.org/uhlejuu5t/Cam_compare.jpg[/IMG]

Click here to compare the camera quality yourself

Camera clarity still low, if you could ever compare the image with other Samsung devices like S3 and up ! If you zoom the image even on the computer you could able to see the image captured using stock J7 camera pixalates ! I have used S2 and up devices from Samsung it never pixalated as being in new conditions. In fact we have several drawback with Samsung's Stock OS on Galaxy J7, as they loaded 32 bit OS in the 64 bit chipset (Samsung Xynos 7580) and the processor we are having is Arm based Cortex A53 processor which is version 8 that means 64 Bit, but can work on 32-bit and 64-bit code. From the below screenshot you can see and understand the Kernel version we are having and Samsung has loaded 32 bit OS !

And Samsung have removed the native Camera and Music ( and replaced it with Google Play Music on J7 ) apps in their stock versions like in other models of it like S4 and up ! One of the member from our J7 group has found that, the API they used in the stock camera that loaded in J7 is old. But you can use the Camera App like ProShot which has the newest API and always get the great picture ! I have experienced it. If you want to check yourself how you can get the best quality in camera images. You can download ProShot from here and see yourself the clarity in picture ! :o:good:
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Thanks for the info bro :D I never dug that deep into the picture quality. lol Me being lazy again :laugh: And that 32bit os, That's a real problem. Someone need to make a 64bit ROM fast. Why Samsung do this to us?!?€§Δ :eek:

By the way, I cant see any of your pictures man. Just some big giant "minus" signs?!¿

That's great news bro. I don't actually own the device but, still, I'm here to help. :)

Nice. MX player is good for video. But I'm not so sure about it as an audio player. It's missing the features like equalizer, album art support, etc. Am I right? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] droid_god:
Yes you are right.

For that google music player is i think best

You can also try default ginger bread music plyer.

Its a monochrome type but hace a fablous and desent looks
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Google player is ok, but there are a lot more better music players.

Consider

Poweramp

JetAudio

Equalizer+

Neutron

Okay here's the deal. I connected my J7 to the computer and fired up smart switch for the drivers... SmartSwitch showed me there is a system update, of size 884mb. First thing I did was check in my phone... It said your phone is rooted, update from smart switch...

So my question is, is there a possibility this updating through smart switch will try to negate root? by that i mean uninstall the su binary n stuff.

PS: i do have a nandroid backup. asking just saves me some time.

[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] wokealoo:
I had the exact question in my mind. 884mb seems like a major update. so I thought i must not be the first one to get it. anyways, it's downloading as of now... for some reason its going super slow in a fairly fast internet connection(17% in 45 mins i guess).

I'll report once the installation is complete.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] droid_god:

I am not sure if its the server or everyone in my PG is on a download rampage today , but man this is taking too long.(the former is more likely because another test download completed in an average of 1mbps)

Well I'm still skeptical because most of the Samsung software updates I have ever came across are always divided into many updates of small sizes. So I would suggest one person trying and reporting before everyone tries it out.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] sainath1983:
Thanks bro for update. I will update tonight and will give you update tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] wokealoo:
Finally It installed. I'll post changes by tomorrow. :)

Okay the obvious looking changes are...

Current version: PDA: OH1 / CSC: OH2 / PHONE: OH7 (INS)

Latest version: PDA: OJ3 / CSC: OJ3 / PHONE: OH7 (INS)

It installed all the stupid bloatware again. No factory reset, no loss of data. Some pre-installed apps are updated, the one I noticed is Smart Manager.

But it did uninstall SuperSU and TWRP. So I had to go through the rooting process once again.

Will post if I find anything else.

Well, you guys can go on with the update. Hit thanks if I was of any help. :)
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] sainath1983:
I dont think so its the update it is just a rom. i checked your screen shot about it is the same what I have :)
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] droid_god:
As prevuously said. Its a minor rom upgrade.

Will not take you to marshmello but will rause your api level.:o
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] sharvinzlife:
Yes you're right ! It was the whole firmware package ! If you want to get updated about new firmware release from Samsung for J7 and want familiar about many of your other phone info., you can download and install Phone INFO ★Samsung★ .

If you want the pure performance of your phone, its always great to download the latest firmware from Sammobile of your countryand do a wipe with your recovery stock/custom (it will make your phone fresh) and flash it through Odin. (Yes ofcourse if you had the Custom recovery and Root access in your phone, flashing the stock will reset all. So you need to reflash the custom recovery and Su binary, to get that benefit again!)

PS: Downloading and installing different countries firmware may lead to network error (unless the other country's firmware you have downloaded have the proper CSC codes of your country), you won't get connected to the network from your Mobile service provider.

Yeah... its the whole firmware... but its an updated firmware... there is a new ultra data saving mode powered by opera max and some api level changes. And i think the kernel is updated.

You Don't Even Have a J7 how Can U Tell
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] droid_god:
Well its not nessessory to have any deviice with you.

In my friend circle one of the guy just got the indian version.

So from there i saw it.

Compaced it with a 5MP device and 8MP device and lastly 13MP device.

Believe me j7 beated all of them but not 13MP i choose the best competetor like somy experia.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] shady_jd:
pictures looks good on j7 but while zooming its not that sharp
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] droid_god:
It will never be.

For example i take samsung galaxy core 2 and new launch lg max.

Both of them have a 5MP back camera.

But there is a great difference in image quality the capture.

When you zoom image upto 20x in core 2 then also the inage gives sharp edges.

And on lg max image gets distorted even on lightest zoom.

This difference id due to CMOS sensor used by core 2 and not by lg max.

So this sensor makes a better image capturing.

I am honestly telling you my core 2 with 5mp has deaten that 13mp j7. This is the power of CMOS sensor.

And it can never be achived by software means.

The camera of j7 will remain like tht forever till new set of device tart commimg with this sensor.

So blaming samaung for that is a good idea.

Hi.

This phone is based on lollipop but don't have much feature like AICP. I am using the 4g indian version of J7 (J700F). Messi has already privided solution for low volume. So as of now if we get a solution for camera would be great.

Cyanogen based roms are too good compare to samsung stock rom. The interface, battery backup, customization options and regular updates from developers makes it better than stock rom.
