Hi, i am planning to buy Samsung S7. But i don't know which one is better from the point of view of custom rom. Exynos or Snapdragon?. I am regretting that i bought sgs5 (G900H) exynos version 2 years ago since there is only few custom roms. whereas Sasmung s5 snapdragon version have many custom roms.So which version of Samsung S7 will have more choices for custom rom in the future ?
Hi,
Keep an eye on this thread if you want a snapdragon version... Atm its WIP!.

No. J7 2016 will not receive Android Oreo update. Mid rangers receive only one major OS update.

Mid-range gets 2 major OS update,for exemple the J7 2015 was released with Android 5.1.1 Lollipop and Samsung do an update to Marshmallow 6.0.1 and in September,to Nougat
1 update for mid-range (J5 and J5 2016) is because they doesn't have an Exynos they have a Snapdragon 410

Bro. J7 2015 or the J700f/h Only got the official Marshmallow update but the No official Nougat updates. We do have custom ported Nougat ROMs for J7 2015 which I am running. And Ruturaj Madam is right. I don't think J7 (2016) will get an update now. Its already 2018 no updates yet.

Yes sir. I know about the Nougat upgrade for the J7 2016 variants. But I was just saying that the J7 2015 variant did not even receive the official Nougat variant. So maybe J7 2016 variants wont have the oreo official upgrade. But if it gets it, even better
The Samsung J700M is a J7 2015 though.
I'd like to see any version of AOSP for The J700T variant...
I was told not possible because we don't have a device tree ...I've started working on one if anyone wants to help..

We'll never know for sure. But my bet is also for "no" - the J7s of 2015 and 2016 are pretty out-of-dated as of 2018. Damn marketing which demands constant, yearly smartphone releases.

Oh I did not see that. That was a Brazilian model I guess. J700f/h are Indian models. And sadly. We didn't receive any updates ? But I will be more then happy if any of the mid-rangers get updated to Oreo.

J700M or the J700f/h? See I m using J700f and it has 16gb internal space and works perfectly fine. But J700M model has 16gb internal space too I just searched it on Google. I think if any of the J series model get the Oreo update. Then someone will port them to these devices. Waiting for updates

Thier are possibilities but lets see. Even I will be buying a new boy soon so its not something which is going to bother me much. I can live with Nougat because it is still powerful and their aren't much changes in Oreo which are too good to die for it. I respect you bro for having a discussion here and gave me opportunity to grab some info. Thanks.

None of SD801 yet. There was one tablet at SD6XX, and upon several try, it was not possible to boot to SD800 (note3). But you can try either way. Check tablets that got nougat update. It was the only one "port"able to SD800 (very similar to SD801).
Good luck

i did a research on various devices and i think the best one for s5 is the c9 pro
because there was many roms based on c9 pro with android marshmallow which got ported to s5
and the c9 pro got the nougat update so i was wondering why the devs didn't think about it or is it me who is missing sth important?
however i'm gonna ask you to do me a favour Can you give a guide about how to port the c9 pro stock nougat rom to s5 please
and thank you

Wow... search xda
You started like "I want to port". From "I want to port" to actually porting will take about 2-3 years... if you study hard

Galaxy S7 and s7 edge will not get official ANDROID PIE Update... But u can flash Custom Roms having android 9.0
Still pretty new to this community. Anyways, the Galaxy S7 (not US) has a Exynos processor. All the Exynos ROM posts don't list supported devices so I'm unsure about G930L or G930K compatibility with G930F custom ROMs. Please help me out on this as I'm planning on buying a S7 to custom ROM and tinker with, but don't want to end up with a phone stuck on Android 8.0

Ignore the letter as you've said its the chipset that matters. Exynos is Highley customisable.
