Samsung Galaxy J7 Duo - Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers

Apologies if I'm in the wrong forum.
My Galaxy Note 1 GT-N7000 finally went belly up today f good service years and I've had to bite the bullet and buy a new phone. I bought a Galaxy J7 Duo which is a good replacement and even comes with a spare battery but I hate the minimalist look of Android 8.0. It reminds me of Windows 10 with all the unattractive matchstick icons and arrows.
Is there any way to install Jellybean 4.1.2 or Lollipop 5.0 on it?
TIA

Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus

Why are no developers developing the Cyanogen mod 9 Android 4.x.x for the galaxy tab 7.0 plus WIFI only version? Its a real nice device and it will be awesome to have CM9 for this device. I believe the galaxy tab 7 plus is being ignored for the galaxy tab 10.1.
its all to do with the sauce codes...Samsung have them under wraps and are not letting them go easy also their is an issue with correct drivers etc... im sure when the codes are revealed their will be 100s of developers trying this baby out (wifi/3g) but in my opinion i think Samsung have kept this from us deliberately as they are launching the new g-tab 2 this is basically a crappy version of out tab but with ICS not honeycomb and buy them allowing development on our device before launch would kill the thrill of the new galaxy tab 2... disappointing i know
I read a article this morning that said almost the exact same thing you just did. the Tab 2 seems like a lower end device than what the plus is. Slower processor (or just underclocked) with ICS. I am perfectly happy with the tab plus.
- sent from my Galaxy Tab Plus!

[Q] Galaxy s duos s7562 vs samsung wave 3 or some other?

my first priority is looks, build & battery backup. tell me which one has better looks & real battery backup?
I strictly don't "need" a dual sim...so the second sim will always be empty in either case.Selected this as its the best available in my budget...(btw, my budget was rs.15000 but extended to rs.16000 for this phone as it seems to be a good phone for my requirements)
thought about taking htc desire v but after using my friend's desire v i dropped the idea as the touch seems to be missed by phone for a second...but otherwise its a fabulous phone too(earlier was confused b/w desire v & samsung s duos)
I've used samsung wave 3 for a day (another friend's phone) its smooth fast....but the problem is with apps & games....really couldn't find much interesting apps & games on internet.(being bada 2.0)
None of my friend has galaxy s duos so couldn't use it personally (anybody using it?give me a personal review)
I even heard wave3 is going to get tizen os (intel & samsung tie-up which will enable android apps on this phone) but samsung havn't said anything from last 6 months about confirming this...last update about tizen was a prototype phone launched to test tizen for developers. m afraid that suppose i buy wave 3 n samsung dont come up with tizen update then i would left with just the default apps(like samsung always do...they don't care about their existing consumers & come up with new to the new consumers only)
Also, tell me, i know super amoled display is better but does the tft lcd on galaxy s duos matches it so some extent?
I'm really confused. please help me?

I've made the same mistake... I could buy Sony... It's very irritating. Samsung shouldn't make a reduntant hope.

It is a good idea. I wanted to buy Moto G, but it was too expensive. Next time I'll have to choose a smartphone more carefully. Do you know something about the modified ROMs?

One time i was too cheap to buy good phone, i bought Huawei u8180, this time i had more money, i bought this phone, and in store i tought, oh, this one is better than that, its good phone, but actualy its piece of crap. Moto G plus is, that Motorola give updates so fast, and they are very stable. For comparising, samsung does not give updates at all. What a piece of sh** company. -_-
We must wait for CyanogenMod, but unless unofficial or othed mods. Damn it!

Me too bro, i dont understand, how this big company DOES NOT support cheaper devices.
I think Samsung want to increase a sale. They want just to have profits and force us to change telephones.
@The_Rencis
I know something about Omkar$'s ROM, but it isn't probably stable.
@friendfriend
I heard something Google doesn't want to make new Nexus.

Panie Michale,
Nie posiadam informacji o przyszłych aktualizacjach. Ze swojej strony sugeruję systematycznie sprawdzać stan aktualizacji w menu telefonu:
Aplikacje --> Ustawienia --> Aktualizacja oprogramowania --> uaktualnij, bądź poprzez połączenie telefonu do programu Kies poprzez kabel USB.
Link do niego zamieszczam poniżej:
http://www.samsung.com/pl/support/usefulsoftware/KIES/JSP
Korzystając z okazji, zachęcam do odwiedzenia naszej strony internetowej: www.samsung.pl.
Znajdują się tam nowości w ofercie produktowej Samsung.
Z chęcią udzielę odpowiedzi na ewentualne następne pytania.
W przypadku dalszej korespondencji prosimy o skorzystanie z formularza kontaktowego na stronie: www.samsung.pl, zakładka ‘kontakt z nami’, ponieważ bezpośrednia odpowiedź zwrotna na ten email nie dotrze do naszych konsultantów.

All is cheap for Samsung.
No matter which manufacturer we'll choose as long as we'll buy cheap devices we'll not find any fw upgrades - that's the truth. Sony supports devices only for a year, when you're buying LG you're aware that it will definately not get any upgrade. Only Nexus has guarantee of ugprades because it is Google.
I heard that Google is forcing now manufacturers to upgrade ALL devices no matter if it's low/med/hi-end but when will it force it? nobody knows....
For now(I think) we should try to build working kernel with additional governors etc. so we have base to start modding. KitKat requires 3.x kernel, we have one so there is still hope that at some point of time someone will build working CM/AOKP/AOSP/Paranoid KitKat ROM.
CM is coming soon maybe a week or month
Looks like we can't count on Samsung, nothing suprising about that :/ I'm starting to miss my old Sony Neo V, huge dev base, I could replace rom every week/month with a new one, good times. My lesson for the future - at first search xda forum, then buy device... Core is just DEAD.

Gear s2 linked with galaxy with 1.5gb RAM

hi guys, I hope to be in the right and I checked among the topics but I did not have an answer.
However, my girlfriend gave me for xmas a s2 classic but I have an iPhone , so i want buy a samsung galaxy to use it .
Now the question : you know if there are any differences linking the gear s2 with a galaxy with only 1.5 gb of ram than more ?
For exemple , there are less function using an s4 mini instead of a galaxy s5 ? Because i know that there are some difference using un samsung galaxy or an other android phone , but anyone speak about it ?
Thank you for your answer guys and sorry for my english .but , most important , merry xmas !!

from my experience using a Galaxy Note 2 Galaxy Note 5 or galaxy s6 a galaxy s6 edge, a galaxy s5, a galaxy s4, and even a galaxy s3 connected to both my galaxy gear s and my gear s2 the only one I've had issues with is samsung galaxy note 5 & I think it's kind of hilarious seen as how it has 4 gigs of ram and an octocore processor, that being said the few differences I have noticed in the functionality of the gear when using different Galaxy devices is minimally changed. The apps that will not work are generally not phenomenal apps. And they are usually not updated anyway. In theory if you got an s4 versus any other galaxy device with one and a half gigs of RAM will probably have the same basic usability. I hope this help. I guess to shorten it down if you're trying to save some money. The Galaxy s4 will probably do you just fine. If you want to be 100% sure you have absolutely no issues at all you want the best bang for your buck get an S5. It's almost the perfect device for the gear.

thank you for your answer, this is exactly what I wanted to know. I think eventually I'll get a s4 because I will use it as a second phone only for the gear and little else and buy a s5 only for this seems like a waste ...my phone will remain the main iphone 6 with which I am comfortable in the hope that soon will also be released the app for ios... then there is to say that here in Italy, for what it costs to buy a samsung, to have 4 GB of RAM I was watching the new OnePlus 2 (the same price of the galaxy s4 ......) but in that case lose apps made just for samsung .. shame ..
