Ok you can download the firmware from the spot above there an use the latest Odin to go back to full stock ! If you have Odin 3.12.5 you can use that ! But if you can get into recovery wipe data factory reset an system first !!

AWESOME

First off thanks again this is awesome. Just wondering if anyone is having issues with Bluetooth? After flashing it won't remember and of my paired Bluetooth devices...
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] peter couniaz:
virgin mobile Galaxy J727P

no one I know of is having any issue ! But did you flash this Rom over fresh firmware ?
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Shaddow313:
Yeah it was completely stock out of the box... But I realized what stupid mistake I made. I deleted beacon manager.apk and evidently that is the app that stores all your paired devices...
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] peter couniaz:

New update J727PVPU3ARC2

Well I guess this phone has fallen threw the cracks look for some one with the new firmware files so I can can build a new DEODEXED ROM for this phone if anyone has the files please let me know I build these an don't ask for anything but files to build from ! Thank you !!
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TomeGJ7p:
Might be able to help

Do you need the entire update package, or would something like the main system file work?

I can't post a link, but could probably PM it to you, let me know.

Heard someone mention something about themes, I'll link an apk you can add to priv-apps that will install as a system theme, with around 88 overlays. May require a quick reset to take full effect. I'll put ara1 back on, just to make sure it's still good. Link to that after I'm sure it still working, and XDA lets me post urls lol.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] peter couniaz:
galaxy J727P

For now the AP file wil do so I can start a new build !
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TomeGJ7p:
I gave it a shot, but only got the items below. Also, unpacked the ARA1 AP, just to compare the two.

AP from ARA1 Stock Firmware

boot

meta-data

persist.img

system.img

ARC2 Backup from TWRP Contains

boot.emmc

boot.emmc.win.sha2

frp.emmc

frp.emmc.win.sha2

recovery.emmc

recovery.emmc.win

recovery

system.info

I'm pulling a more extensive pull, just to see if anything else matches up. Then I go back to my deoxed ARA1, based off yours, I use that phone as a wifi phone, full deox. Tried the ADB through fastbooting TWRP, with the info finder, but didn't get much more. I'm gonna find a good place to post some simple themes, and if I can do it, I'll try to get a presubstrated setup, if possible.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TomeGJ7p:
Put together a dark theme using the ARA1.RDTX2 rom, it's closer to what I usually do, but I wanted to completely cover almost every app/menu in a single rom. I like to deox to the necisities required to boot through recovery, IE Google, playstore apps, and maybe one or two others.

That being said, I can't post a link for downloading yet, I don't think, but I'm not far off. Should I post the modded rom, or files to add to it with instructions? Don't want to step on anybody's toes.

It flashes like the original ROM, and recovers smoothly. No touchwize/easylauncher, you pick between two good laynchers, less wasted space. Nova has hidden functionality for the assistance menu, google search/now, or screenshot assistant can either be the device assistance app. Almost a full theme out of the box, and the original ROM fully intact, with the stock launchers/few added apps mentioned being the exception.

Caveats:

1. Google Crashes

Disable until the playstore fully updates, then enable and update from the playstore.

2. Play store Crashes

Both are caused by the apps being themed after their stock updates, which makes sense for big system apps. Go to Samsung themes when you first load into your launcher, click themes, vivid, and reload theme;

3. After waiting for updates, all updates, reapply the theme, then restart you phone. Everything should be fully installed, and stable(as deoxes go, which isn't too bad).

Included Apps:

1. Nova(Touch wiz replacement)(Purchase Pro)

2. Apex(Easy mode replacement)(Purchase Pro)

3. Screenshot Assistant (hold home key for SC)

4. Substratum (Sungstratum sold separately)

5. Nightlife (Our backup theme, use #352664 when matching colors in launcher theme menus to match the blue, and #000000/#FFFFFF for black and white...just incase that needed to be said...lol.

J727P

You guys are awesome! Innovation at its finest, I can't wait to try out that new deodexed Rom and this theme...
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TomeGJ7p:
With the nature of our system recovery, I had a rough time with the themeing, that it it took me few flashes with the RADEV2 to realize what it acting strange...no theme engine it seems...lol, it works with substratum, via sungstratum(paid app only, like 2$), and I could make a really simple tut for a clean install of almost any of their themes. I'm about to flash RDAVX for the first time, with all tweaks, flashing my version afer, if all goes well. I already have a markup of everything, and a simple enough dark and light theme, both easy to use, and with ofer 110 overlays each. Playstore crashes fixed on the stock deox, should be smooth sailing. Be back soon.

For the life of me, I can't find the stock wallpaper location, is there one? Shoot me a PM if you know, feeling stupid, guessing it to be the apk I'm thinking it is
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] peter couniaz:
Galaxy J727P

You find wallpaper in system because it's in the Samsung theme store !
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TomeGJ7p:
Yeah...but I can't find them, the wallpaper cropper 2 is incharge of the wallpapers apps, as is the theme store. I've broken both apks down, looking for signs of wallpapers in a stock type variety. Probably part of a qmg file I cant get too, because Samsung spent way too much money trying to use studio equipment to encrypt their crap lol.

Anyway, I'm flashing my personal ROM on, finally. Then uploading the RDAV/RTX2/Stock rooted. I'll have details on it all in an hour, or so, total of 5 themes, tweaks, and all that good stuff.

[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TomeGJ7p:
First time using mega, let me try different links. and the tether problem is caused by one of your build prop edits from the kitchen. I'll find it

Thank you very nice I looked threw it you made some very nice changes an I will test drive it once my phone is charged up ! Thanks again this should be a nice change for me !
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TomeGJ7p:
I updated the pixel themed build to remove mobile id, as it was messing up the wallpappers I've been told. Need someone to flash the new pixel, and let me know if there are any issues. If so I'll see if compiling without mobile id works.

Update:

I decided to recreate the themes without mobile id on the phone, but also decided to remove the wallpapers from the themes, most people have their own taste on those anyways.

[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Aurih:
This might be a bit almost n00bish of me, but what's the difference between the RDAV and RDTX2?? I am unfamiliar with the terms and Google is not very cooperative concerning the matter..

TIA and Namaste...

Au.

Addendum:: I decided to use the TX2 and have to say I'm impressed so far.. Still in primary config atm, but it is amazingly clean and nicely debranded... It's also very fast.. Can't wait to see the long term performance.. It's a heck of an improvement over even the last rom.. Thanks and Namaste.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TomeGJ7p:
RDAV is rooted, and deoxed, with ADB enabled. RTX2 Is rooted, has buildprop tweaks, and xposed framework preinstalled. I'll double check, but I've had a lot of time working with them all. I'll be posting my RDAVXT, and R2DAVXC when I finish the aforementioned, probably on my final flash. If you're interested in any of the builds.

R-rooted

D-ADB or DM verity Disabled

T-tweaked

X-Exposed

V-ADB or DM verity Disabled

I think

2-would most likely be the version, I used it to mark the D in mine to indicate I'd done a further deox.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Bee101:
Any Roms with magisk.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Aurih:
Thank you for the information.. I'm definitely interested in both Xposed and DM-Verity being there and disabled respectively and ADB available... There's a small issue with the play store crashing on the RTX2.. What do I do? It's on the current version and I've also tried clearing the cash and data for the app.. Opening Substratum and going to look at themes via the apps play store link, then scrolling down and POW... play store crashes. This seems so far to be the only problem I can find thus far..

Thanks for all your hard work..... Namaste...

Au.

Addendum:: I found one other small problem.. It keeps forgetting the headset is there at all, if I restart the phone.. I literally have to turn off the headset, turn it back on, and then rescan and repair the headset.. My headset is a Motorola Moto Surround and is not even 6 months old as of yet.. The previous edition of your rom also was in use and did not exhibit this issue... I also tested turning off and on the headset without a restart.. it picked it up just fine, so this seems to be a retention issue after reboot. FYI and thanks again.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TomeGJ7p:
The play store usually calms down after updates of the store, services, and google finish. Usually requires a ui restart, or just a full restart for the theme to set on the updated apps. If all else fails, go to settings/themes/ and reapply, then reset the ui or phone. I prefer the ui lol.

On a different note, my overlays just got updated, so if you have problems, let me know. I can update the themes easily enough. I'm probably change my build props from the kitchen sink, to the new emperor god mode build prop, going to shoot it off to Peter so he an see what's up. It's real nice, and made touchwiz feel like nova, no joke.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TomeGJ7p:
Had a rough past few days, sleep related disabilities making it hard to focus. Mixed meta data, lost kernel scripts, build props...I was a mess. Had to pull the trigger, and restart RDAVX from the originals, and wipe all previous "progress", lol. Doing better today, so first go, and it actually flashed, finally. I'll post the standard build, with Xposed added, and a new build prop(super nice). Added 2 launchers, 2 custom themes that are only going on the RDAVX ROM's, along with my personal theme, added 2 launchers. Kept everything, so ADB should still work, wanted to maintain the integrity of everything I could for anyone developing. I did add a few nice tweaks, like I did in all I've posted. Increased dev max process, that kind of stuff, added a ton of fonts, and a few apps that I always want when starting any project on the phone.

I'll post a download link after I get through recover, which the voice assistant is currently nagging me for as we speak. I'll do a further deox of this soon after. I'll post one without the dev kit if you want, but you should check it out, I have a ton of app knowledge.

Waiting for the phone to restart, the new build prop even looks great in recovery, kitchen sink was nice, and this is just a bit nicer.

727PVPS3ARA.RTXDAV_T__SIGNED

Pretty much stock RDAV, no real debloating, with the new build prop, 3 themes, my usual tweaks, and added a few things for those interested in the adb over wifi. Need to make sure it's working, so let me know. Check out the edit option in quick settings for a few little additions.

I shared my personal theme on this, and how the system picks the starting theme is beyond me, but it seems to like mine as a default. I made it with blue light in mind, and to utilize the AMOLED screen. So if you set your brightness to maybe 30%, you can operate during the day. There is also a darkscreen to further reduce brightness, beyond the system default, you'll have to play with it, but with near zero screen ambience, I can use the phone in a dark room comfortably. Just a heads up.

Let me know, I was going to add more to this, but tried to keep it clean. I have a real nice calculator, coder, cloud music player, dev tools, and an alarm clock I use on my builds when working on stuff. All add free, no strange permissions, just good solid apps. That or I could just post a folder for you to check out....eh whatever. Two of the more powerful apps do have ads, but they usually the kind that hide well enough at the top/bottom, nothing intrusive, and one has in app purchases, I believe, but has never asked me for anything more than storage perms.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Aurih:
I've tried restarting the UI and it is still happening. I can't even access Gmail.. I have also discovered that substratum cannot read the overlays and it keeps telling me I have no theme installed even after I bought one. I really like the theme you installed.... and would like to keep the settings, but can't get substratum, with the sungstratum addon to do anything.. The bluetooth problem I mentioned above with the headset vanishing from the remembered devices after a reboot is still there.. I did manage to get the default dark to apply a few overlays, but android system and a few other things are not covered in that one.. I am otherwise quite happy with your new permutation of this rom... It's excellent in design and performance.. tyvm Dark themes rok!.. heh...
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TomeGJ7p:
My themeing engin just updated as i posted the themes without my mobil id, bad timing, I'm not happy that you're having issues with the substratum part of everything, as that was my least concerned addition. However it really isn't doing a ton. Are the additional fonts working for you?
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TomeGJ7p:
It would probably be easier for me to leave sub out, it doesn't really do that much, and the system mods is the easiest one to apply, unfortunatly there themes are kind of falling behind, with the exception of the paid ones, night life for instance has a lot of dated overlays. I'm going to pull from the roms first, they were made to fit freshly updated ara1. I'll do that now, if you still have problems, I'll change the delivery method. I had fun just throwing the actual roms together. Which build did you have issues with? The pixel launcher rom, and the DAVX build have more recent compilations, and might apply better.

Did the font package work?
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Aurih:
Please pardon me for the delayed response..

The theme applied beautifully, but substratum reported overlays missing. I'll be hapy to try the new edition when you release it.. My main concern over gmail and the play store crashing is that the phone keeps forgetting the headset is there when you reboot the phone.. I love the theme as is, and look forward to the kinks working out.. Substratum is really neat.. Gold and its variants are in one of my favorite color ranges.. and I do hope your sleep issues sort soon... I finally had to take melatonin to help with mine... heh.. Looking forward tot he full kitchen sink model..

Namaste...

Au.

I think I'm going to try your themed Rom again even Theo I'm on the J727PVPU3ARC2 firmware I will let you know how it goes !
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TomeGJ7p:
Good to hear, if it doesn't work out, I'll probably find something else to focus on. Made myself a wifi phone deox. 1.88 gig uncompressed zip. Kept the Samsung bells and whistles, with full phone functionality, but unable to get real service. Once I make sure I'm happy, I'm going to do the same thing, but keeping the reqs for maintaining service, should be under 2.2 gigs uncompressed.

My system contains minimal user apps, but after the dust cleared, I was sitting at

Total space - 16.00gb

Available - 9.11gb

System Memory - 5.70gb

Used Space - 540mb

Other - 562mb

Cached Data - 77.96mb
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TomeGJ7p:
If problems continue, let me know. I'll re-flash the stock ROMs, and compile one by itself for you to try. I believe that will fix it. It would mean that the themes should work for their individual ROMs only.

On a different note. I'm going to probably start updating/posting ROMs with links to the developers download, and recommending they be flashed separately, but included in the initial flash for consistency. The emperors build prop has more than buildprop edits included in the zip. The add to buildprop.sh has the edits, and the system has additional files labeled adrenals. So when testing the build prop by themselves it did feel like they were similar. I'll get around to a full test in a bit, but, until I do, I don't see any harm in offering it.

Also, I'm going to be including the ADB, and ADB over WiFi quick tiles to all DAV variants I post(ed). Time to fix up one for you to flash. I'll add the link to this post when it's done, and I'll set you up with my biggest deox yet, if you don't mind, to make sure it can hold service without interruption.

Updated, themed; without mobile ID, aditional apps, special icons(of any sore), wallpappers, or fonts. Added quicktiles to the edit section in the notifications, one for ADB over LAN, and Debugging over WiFi, which I believe is also ADB over WiFi.

This is the base rom, unchanged, with two quick tiles, and two themes; JesterClasic, and SwiftBlackClasic.

J727PVPU3ARC2.RDTT_SIGNED

This is the original, with the above mentioned changes, Xposed added, custom substratum font pack (requires substratum *free*, and sungstratum *2$*) and a relatively large deox. To use the font mod, you'll need to go to the Samsung app store, and download Samsung sans*free*, then select the overlay in the substratum UI. Hit install, the menu in that mod has an option to reset system UI built in.

J727PVPU3ARC2.R2DTTX_SIGNED (CURRENTLY 2 HOURS AWAY FROM UPLOAD COMPLETION)

There will be 2 more coming, a fully customizable deox, that should hold service without interruption. My personal build, which is a total deox, good for wifi, and the WiFi phone apps, with most of the base phone features included.

Questions should be done on this forum, but if you don't want it here, I'll do PMs. If it was something worth adding, it might appear here anyway. I've been replacing the buildprop original to the builds with a stock buildprop, and flashing the emperor's buildprop. I can post files, or links if anyone is interested.
