Samsung Galaxy J7 (SM-J700F) Root & TWRP, Tips and Tricks (Mods) to improve/increase the Volume & Performance !

I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy J7 (SM-J700F) Indian variant from +Flipkart . You can read the complete phone specification from here . But as factory set settings, J7 has some flaws like WiFi saving mode is ON as default (resulting continuous disconnection of WiFi), Samsung has set the media volume as very low in the Stock firmware (OS by Samsung) as default. So the Ringtones and media played or the notifications in the phone will be having very low Volume, resulting missing your calls and other notifications. Samsung has disabled the Lollipop multi user interface on Samsung Galaxy J7.

All of the Guides I'm going to describe here is for is compatible for Samsung Galaxy J7 (SM-J700F) Android version 5.1.1 and its not mine but taken from XDA Forum  and tested by me and working fine.

You can tune and tweak the performance of your phone doing some modification to it. To modify it, you need to Root and install custom recovery ( Recovery is like boot menu/options in a PC). Stock recovery (Factory/Samsung's recovery) won't be having enough capability to flash/install a Custom OS or an application through it. So we need to install a Custom recovery and Root (Install SuperSu ) the device to gain more control and modify it to make it work better.

Tuts
Turn the WiFi saving mode off (No Root needed)
Increase Media Volume (Ringtones & Notifications)
Enable call recording on Stock Rom
Enable Multi users
Install Xposed Framework

Turn the WiFi saving mode off (No Root needed)

Go to phone keypad dial *#0011#
Automatically should go onto a screen

Go to more (tapping over the top)
Go to WiFi

There should be a button there saying WiFi saving and it should be ON turn it OFF by tapping there.

And then reboot 
Done.

Multi user actually very helpful if we want to give our phone temporarily to a stranger or to a friend unattended that we don't want their eyes to pop in to our personal things. Multi users will automatically create a Guest account and Admin account (For the owner). So If we want to give our phone to someone we can turn on Guest account, so in Guest account none our Applications or Images in the Gallery, Contacts, Messages won't show up. So its safe to give our phone to a someone  temporarily.

2.) Search for " build.prop "

3.) Edit and add the below string at the end of the editor and save and reboot !  

fw.max_users=3

fw.show_multiuserui=1

Now Enjoy Multi Users

Install Xposed Framework on J7

Most Android users mainly root their devices only to install Xposed Framework. Xposed Framework is a powerful tool that enables you to modify your ROM as you wish using some tweaks. Xposed Framework can be installed not only on Custom ROMS but also on the Stock ROMS. So using Xposed you can add some tweaks to your Stock ROM or firmware and get the features of a custom ROM.

Official build of Xposed framework for Lollipop Samsung Galaxy Devices has not been released yet, since Samsung made a lot of changes to ART (Android Runtime) without providing the sources. So we have the unofficial build now and we need to flash the Framework (SDK.zip) rather than just installing the Apk like in other versions of android so as Jelly Bean and Kitkat (Where the Xposed installer apk file would install the framework on your system automatically.)

Preparations

1. Make a nandroid backup using TWRP (in case if anything goes wrong) before installing Xposed Framework.

With the Nandroid backup (which is an excellent feature on custom recoveries like TWRP) you can backup all your current state of your operating system on your device and save it in your SD card or on your Computer storage and restore it at anytime you want. Many people will have perplexity that, If their Stock ROM (Firmware/OS) is rooted would it be able to do a backup of their OS and can able to restore it?. Yes you can do backup of the current state of your firmware with the custom recoveries like TWRP no matter your OS is rooted and made changes by using root.

How To Backup your current ROM

1. Reboot to recovery (by pressing Volume up+home+power buttons).

2. Select back Up in the recovery.



3.  Check Boot,Data, and System. (If you want backup completely, you can check Radio & EFS too) You should at least once back up efs and modem, the first time you use the custom recovery you should make an original back up of System, Data, Boot, EFS, and Radio. EFS holds all your communication information most importantly the IMEI, Radio is a back up of the phones Modem.



4. Click on storage and change the Internal Memory to Micro SDcard (refer below image.) And swipe it in the bottom to back up (refer above image).



5. When backup gets completed, just press Reboot system, that simply reebots your phone up..

Congratulations now you have the backup of your Current Rom which can be restored anytime you want if ever had any issues playing with your Rom.


How To restore the Rom you have backed up

1. Go to TWRP recovery select Restore.



2.  Then you could able to see the package of the Rom you have backed up.



3. Select it and swipe to restore the Backup of your Rom you have made. Then reboot system, then you will able to use your phone as though the way it was when you backed up.

Steps to to install the Xposed Framework for Galaxy J7

1. Install Xposed Installer App

2. Download & copy the Xposed file and the Xposed Uninstaller to your sdcard

3. Go to TWRP select Install and navigate to Xposed file "xposed-vxx-sdk22-tw-arm-custom-build-by-wanam-xxxxxxxx.zip"  Make sure you select the storage as Micro SDcard in the above when you navigate to find the Xposed Framework file to flash (install through TWRP).

4. Reboot It takes a little time to boot up as it want to update our Android System.

Enjoy the Xposed framework on your Samsung Galaxy J7 !

How to use Xposed Installer
1. Go to Xposed installer app on your phone and select Download.

2. Download and install the different modules you want to tweak your phone. After downloading a modules please don't open the app untill you enable it on Xposed framework by going to Module section on xposed installer app and selecting it on the check box there. Then retstart your phone to use the module you have installed.


All the Exposed modules listed on the download section won't work for Samsung Lollipop Stock based Roms. Please refer the the screen shot above to see the Modules that i use on Xposed framework.



I hope my post is noob friendly, If you have any troubles or doubt in any section of my post. Please feel free to comment on. I can reply to sort your troubles out.

Doctor Who- Under the Lake Review

Under the Lake feels like a mix of wonderfully delicious underwater fun that delves into an extremely fascinating ghost story.

I loved the visuals of the story; the illuminated green, dirty corridors that add history and depth to the setting.

From the beginning, the suppporting characters feel very appealing and charismatic as they extend towards their own personality. The script allows us to see glimpses of who these people could be. Of course, we could have seen more from them but I think the sudden deaths lend itself to the frightening realisation that the Doctor, Clara and the team literally have no idea who these ghosts are- are they real or not?

One of the most memorable highlights was the ever evolving relationship between the Doctor and Clara; a sparkling conversation where the Doctor tries to tell Clara not to go Native. Clara has become scarily like the doctor with her wrecklessness attitude seemingly obvious in this episode.

However, it does give us some playful, quirky and fun moments; Clara wanting to high five the Doctor and the Doctor's social cards (I could do with some of those) all adding to a sprinkle of fun in the midst of some fascinating investigating.

More so, the script holds brilliant tension and suspense; the ghosts were incredibly scary with their silent movement and their slight appointment to trying to kill but always staying close behind their victims.

I have a high interest in stories involving water which I think stemmed from The Waters of Mars, the wavy effect reflected on the corridor walls and the water separating the Doctor and Clara gave me shivers.

The mysterious symbols, the spaceship gave the story some unique qualities in that the characters and the audience believe that these ghosts could be real ghosts, but with a nagging sensation that there has to be more to be uncovered.

A slick, funny, compelling, suspenseful with a rocky music score that gives a classic Who story a very modern sheebang!

Doctor Who- The Witch's Familiar Review

Wait, Clara and Missy aren't dead- well, that wasn't much of a surprise but Missy's explanation of how she managed to teleport instead of disintegrating was very helpful.

The opening of when she's describing one of the doctor's past adventures was visually very dynamic and slick; the black and white colour and freezing of time.

Two parters always need to have the level raised in the second installment and the Witch's familiar definitely amped up the quality of this story.

I'd only ever seen Davros in Genesis of the Daleks and the series 4 finale so I never felt like I knew much about him and his past.

Being able to see his motivations and manipulations take hold in such a deceiving manner was quite ruthless and shocking. I really felt like you could see into the cracks of the doctor and Davros personalities; their guilt, regret and honesty albeit slightly not in this case. 

The doctor and Davros are both playing each other, well, they know each other so well. Davros knows that the doctor's weakness is compassion and uses that to manipulate him. 

He is a very complex enemy of the doctor because he's not evil but just wants to protect his race and ensure their survival.

I found it a bit hypocritical of him when the doctor second guessed his plan, Davros then asked for the his help.

In contrast to all the complex conversations between two old scientists, there is Missy and Clara who, after threatening to kill each other with a pointy stick, seemingly begin to like each other. I can definitely see Missy flirting with Clara at some points, her manic laugh and bonkers range of accents is beyond funny. 

I feel like these two could have their own spin-off show which has led me to wander whether Missy has travelling companions and then kills them after their adventures together. Just a thought.

Oh, and she had a daughter, what? I wouldn't be surprised if she had killed her own child. If she believes that being friends with someone means trying to kill them, then who knows what goes on in that maddening Time Lady brain of hers. There is so much to like about the Dalek sewer scene; Clara inside a Dalek, Missy being Missy and a lone Dalek who has no idea what its gliding into.

The doctor taking a little ride in Davros chair was quite a sight and the comedy value that comes with it was extraordinary. As the decaying Daleks come squelching through the pipes, explosions are a foot and Missy cannot help but try to make the doctor kill Clara! 

This was a great turn of events  because as you can't help liking Missy, you always need to remember that she is a mad, bonkers Time Lady who always has plans of conquering worlds and dominating them. There's not much warmth in those two hearts, well only for the doctor.

After this phenomenal two parter opening, I think we have a staggeringly fabulous series of adventures to come! Now I want to know about the vampire monkeys......

Doctor Who-The Witch's Familiar Review

Here at the beginning of a new chapter of adventure, and what a beginning it was.

It was a tidal wave of ideas, history and monumentous dialogue. A beginning of a battlefield ensures we are immediately entranced and questioning where is the doctor?

This is the question on everyone's lips.

The evolution of the doctor and Clara as individuals and their relationship is seemingly intriguing- she feels stronger, knowledgable and constantly searching for a new mission. Her teaching job looks like it has become her secondary priority.  He looks more relaxed, caring, and fun showing off.

There were so many obsurd and wonderful aliens/ creatures to feast our eyes upon as Colony Sarff, a creature made of snakes, searches for the doctor on behalf of Davros! DAVROS, I truly was shocked and my jaw did not return to its original position for quite some time- The Shadow Proclamation, Maldovarium and planet Karn. Also, encountering old faces- Judoon, Hath and that fish alien from Torchwood! 

He has to be one of the most disturbing creatures in the show- the creepy and spooky way that he travels and the slimy serpents collaborate into one almighty foe!

So the frozen planes in the sky was just Missy trying to get UNIT's and Clara's attention- it's such a Missy thing to do and I love her for it especially the despicable texting, she loves to play games.

Her opposition from playful to killer was completely frightening and added definite devleopment to her character.

Clara and Missy find him in Essex ( my hometown!) 1138AD pleasing the crowds with his guitar! 

I was flabbergasted at this sight but that's the magic of this show- it's imagination and unpredictability is unlimited. 

As a knowing trap ensures, the doctor is confronted with the realisation that he made Davros and that he's standing on Skaro, Clara and Missy have been killed, so the doctor has gone back to when he first met Davros to ultimately, Exterminate him. 

Well, that was certainly a cliffhanger!

Davros depicting that the Daleks are willing Clara to run like hunters toying with its prey was a twisted and horrifying revelation, that made me even more afraid of these tank monsters.

One of my favourite episodes and it's only episode 1 - this is going to be magic!
