[Samsung Galaxy J2 Guides, News, & Discussion] ShaDisNX255:
My personal recommendation!

Turn this storage hungry piece of crap into a somewhat decent phone :)​

Hey guys, it's been a while since I made this guide to return to stock, which is the most basic of things! Since I've made this guide, there have been a couple of interesting things going on. For one, I finally learned how to modify an updater-script for flashable ROMs and I've been very busy creating scripts to debloat this phone. I have also started seeing "ports" for the J2 Prime (finally) and tried a couple myself. They're pretty decent, but there are a couple of problems I've seen in them. For one, THEY'RE NOT DEBLOATED!. What does this mean? That these ports still have all the "crapware" that Samsung likes to shove in their phones, slowing them down and taking up so much precious space, space that this phone does not have. So I've gotten myself to work and developed three different debloat scripts that will make this phone at least decent

So here's my personal recommendation to have a decent J2 Prime with plenty of space to download lots and lots of apps :)

I also recommend getting an external SD card and setting it up as adoptable storage, which I will also include in this "guide"

Let's begin!

Downloads:

(explanations of which one to use in the following steps)(Also, please read the original threads, they have warnings I need you to READ!)

Standard debloat script (Original thread: here)

DebloatX with S8 icons and launcher(Original thread: here)

DebloatX with just S8 launcher(Original thread: here)

* Now, I don't know how much you've been messing around with your J2 Prime, so if you follow this guide my first recommendation is that you flash stock via Odin to get this phone back to fully working stock, guide on the post above :P

* I will also need you to activate developer options in settings and make sure "USB Debugging" and "OEM Unlock" are enabled

* After you've flashed stock ROM and made sure that USB Debugging and OEM unlock are enabled, flash TWRP

* Then, reboot to recovery and format /data

* After that, you will now flash one of the three files I provided above. Here is a brief explanation of what each one is and does:

Standard debloat script

This is the fist script I ever made. This will erase all crapware Samsung added to this phone and leave you only the essential apps. This will keep stock UI, this is NOT a custom ROM. This will give you almost 3 GB of storage free! Use this if you want the most bloat removed! (Read the warnings on the original thread)

DebloatX with S8 icons and launcher

This is similiar to the standard debloat script. The difference is that this adds S8 launcher and S8 icons, as well as a few features that were added on some S8 ports. This will give you aprox. 2.5 GB of storage, it's pretty good! (Read the warnings on the original thread)

DebloatX V2 (just s8 launcher)

This is the same as DebloatX only difference is that I removed S8 icons here. I did this because Samsung's email app crashes with S8 icons and it's an app I really use, so I removed s8 icons and a lot of s8 features.

* Root via the method you choose (SuperSU or Magisk)

* Flash the dm-verity zip listed on any of my tutorials

* Once you've flashed the file that you prefer, reboot your phone and normally start your phone

* The first thing you should do is remove any additional apps you might not want and that my script might not have removed

* After that, go to the Google Play and let all apps update

* Now, download an app called "Root Essentials" (you can download: here

* You should open up the app and go to "Storage"

* Follow the instructions to set up your SD card as adoptable storage

* Choose that the default app installation location be the SD card

* Start downloading all your apps :)

There, your phone should now be at least usable! Have fun :)
