Advice to update my J7 - Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers

Hello.
I have a Samsung j7 SM-j700F and i want to update the Android version. Recently i started receiving messages from various important apps i use that my current android version will not be supported anymore. For some reasons my phone is stuck on Android 5.1.1 and i can't update it by the normal way. So i wish some help and guidance about how i could update it manually, with a good android version, at least one official to avoid any unexpected complication.
Thanks in advance

Don't expect Samsung spends time to build Android 6 or 7 for this old model.
Hi. I´m aware of this. For this reason I´m looking for a stable customized rom for my tablet based on Android 6.0 ou 7.0.
SM-P905M - Update
I'm facing the same issue, looking forward to have an stable version update for my Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 (SM-P905M) based on Android 6.0 or later, anyone aware if there is any available Custom ROM for this device. I'm new into Custom Rom's... Thanks a lot!
I don't understand this rush to update all the time. Every update to this tablet has resulted in some issues which took time to get Samsung to fix. That's why you see the .2 in 5.0.2. That was a fix to get external keyboards to work again.
My tablet runs just fine on 5.0.2 today.
Because this is a great tablet with hardware still modern for the day but hobbled by an increasingly ancient stock OS due to Samsung's ineptitude at caring for its customers.
Security updates??

Some question about flashing a ROM for my Samsung (newb here)

So I have the Galaxy S5 SM G900F, running Android 5.0 , no more software update for this device, well at least in my country.
It has become very laggy, many apps crashes such as Spotify and Snapshat and it just sucks overall. I'm planning on installing the 6.0 marshmallow ROM following the steps from this thread hoping it'll fix the problem. https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...m-official-android-6-0-1-marshmallow-t3319376
1- Does it matter which country I should download the firmware on sammobile? Because in Lebanon, there's only the 4.4.2 version, even thought I have the 5.0
2-In the thread, the OP said " flash stock Android 5.0 Lollipop firmware first before upgrading to Android 6.x.x Marshmallow firmware to avoid any issues." What does he mean? To do a backup of my existing firmware? If so how should I do that?
3- Would my data such as pictures, contacts, apps be affected?
Bump
Anyone?

Updating old S7 To latest stable version

Hi
I Received some old S7-930F Device.
Currently it is Rooted with custom SuperMan ROM, Running over Android 8.0.0.
Basically, I want to make sure phone is up-to-date as "much as possible" in terms of:
1. Is there any android update newer than Android 8, which is stable, for Galaxy S7?
I know there's beta by lineage based on Android 10, but looking for only stable version.
If there is - Can someone please share some guide / thread with updating instructions?
2. Is there any update to baseband version?
Currently the phone runs with G930FXXU2ERG2
If there is - where can I get it, and how to install it?
Much appreciated
Thanks
No theres not sorry

Last version of S7 firmware is FXXS6ESGD, get it of sam mobile or Samfirm tool. There's some good roms based on that, de bloated that run really well.

Running Newer Android Apps on lower version of Android?

Hey, all so just for some context I have on me a Samsung Tab 4 - SM-T230NU
That I been trying to find a ROM for so that I can upgrade the Android OS on it.
Unfortunately, I am finding that is a no go, there are no ROMs at least that I can find for it that newer then Kitkat
So now I am asking
Is it possible on a rooted Android Device to run apps strictly made for newer versions of Android?
Thank you for your time
