Hi I have a unlocked 2015 Galaxy J7 SM-J7008 that I bought for a relative and noticed it is stuck with Lollipop. I did a search of the model number and did not see any releases specifically for this phone. I really like the unbloated stock rom releases of Marshmellow and Nougat that are stable but it looks like those are for different versions of the J7 2015.
Can anyone point me in the right direction or is there just no support for this phone? Sorry if I searched wrong, I'm very new to this site and custom roms.
I am new to the world of custom ROMs and never did this. My Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (India version, 3G, model SM N900, SSN: N900GSMH, Baseband version: N900DDUEBPF1, Software version: N900XXSEBPL3/N900ODDEBPF1/N900DDUEBPF1). I have few basic queries:-
How do I know exact model, processor, etc details of my Note 3? Since I purchased in India and that time India only had 3G phones (not LTE), so assuming its 3G only model. Also inside phone after removing battery shows above model nos
After installing a LineageOS ROM, my phone will stop receiving OS upgrades? Will I have access to play store apps which can be directly downloaded or need some workaround to download apps (my usage is regular apps like whatsapp, gdrive, youtube, chrome, etc)? If workaround needed for apps, would those apps get automatic updates or always require manual install?
Which ROM is suitable for my model? Mine is currently Android version 5.0 which is quite old. I am ok with any stable version above 5.0 If I get Android 8/9/10, I would feel myself very lucky
Please help.

it's exynos not snapdragon, you're not in the good forum..look exynos note 3
How do I confirm that mine is Snapdragon or Exynos? I googled and found that in India Note 3 was launched with Exynos and only 3G model, so I believe I am in correct forum. Can somebody answer my original queries please?

Thanks dear, posted my query there...
Hello, I want to have Android 12 running on my Samsung Galaxy C5, found out that J7 and C5 uses the same CPU, so it's possible for a build to roll out.
I hope someone does it for my device, it would mean a lot for me!
Samsung always releases Exynos variants in india but this time Samsung released S908E Snapdragon variant in india. I'm confused which Variant I should I buy because I'm custom rom lover. I never see much custom roms for SD vaints in india. So can someone help that which variant should I buy so that developers can support new custom roms to both variants Exynos & SD together.
If you are a custom rom lover, you might be better off buying a device that has better AOSP development support rather than spending 1 lakh+ on a device that would be feature handicapped if you happen to root it.
Hi everyone, I am new to this forum.
I have a spare Samsung C9 Pro which is official upgraded at Android 8.0.0
I would like to know if there a way to upgrade this phone.
Updating Samsung Software Over-The-Air is an option available in Samsung Android Smartphones and Tablets. Doesn't this easy method work for your Samsung C9 Pro?

If there are stock updates available for your device, then, yes, you can upgrade.
If there are no official updates available for the devices, then, no, you cannot upgrade unless there are custom ROMs available for the device. If there are no custom ROMs available for the device, then, you will have to learn to build a custom ROM for yourself and that is only "IF" the stock source code for the device has been made available by the manufacturer/carrier.
