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.
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 !

Post edited, Included the credits for @rovo89 ! Sorry for mirroring your files, I did that only because once you actually update the Xposed files on your OP, the links will be invalid, so I might have to always alert to update my OP with correct links again ! Thanks for suggestion, have the best day @wanam :good:

[request] step-by-step guide on how to get from stock to CM12.1 (I9301I)

Hi,
I want to go from 4.4.2 stock unrooted device to the official CM12.1 ROM. However, I am not sure what I need to do/have and the order in which I should proceed in order to make the process safe and optimal. I think that if someone more knowledgeable writes a simple guide here on in a separate thread on this topic it will be immensely helpful to the community.
Thanks in advance!

You only have to follow three guides:
1. Root your device
2. Install TWRP
3. Flash CM

Download-
1. Kingroot android app
2. Twrp manager app
3. Cm12.1
All you need to is-
1. Root your phone using kingroot app.
2. After rooting install twrp recovery by twrp manager app.
3. Then boot your phone into recovery mode and click on "install" then choose cm12.1
You don't need a pc for this... GOOD LUCK

Download-
1. Kingroot android app
2. Flashify (from the play store)
3. Twrp manager app
4. Cm12.1
5. Open Gapps (ones you prefer, I use mini)
All you need to is-
1. Root your phone using kingroot app.
2. Install Flashify & make a backup of stock kernel & recovery.
3. Install twrp recovery. Boot into TWRP recovery using power + volume down keys (while phone is off). THEN USE IT TO MAKE COMPLETE COSTUME BACKUP! Check every single partition to make a backup of (you may consider for the size reasons skipping the data partition, that is one containing apps you installed). Transfer this backup to a PC or other safe storage & take a good care of it because when ever you screw up things this one will allowe you to get back to stock. Also do the same with Flashify Kernel & stock recovery backups.
4. Boot into TWRP recovery using power + volume down keys (while phone is off). If not already there. Do the wipe! Install CyanogenMod 12.1 (I strongly recommend last official build) & after that install Gapps.
You are done with installing.
Lett it boot for a first time (which takes some time), do a initial required setup & after that go to options about the phone & tap on revision number until you enable developer options, then go into developer options & enable root access (to regain it) for apps & ADB.
& there you go. I leave future installing & adjusting what ever you want to your preferred choice.

How to flash official CM 12.1
1. Download ODIN v3.07 or higher.
2. Download TWRP Recovery (Tar.md5)
3. Download Auto root file for S3 Neo (Tar.md5)
4. Download Official CM 12.1.
6. PUT cm12.1 zip file to your internal or external memory.
5. Root from ODIN.
6. Flash Recovery for ODIN.
7. Get into recovery by pressing vol up+lock button
8. Clear data, install Zip file.
9. Restart your device.
10. Done :good:

>put necessary root file on sdcard.
>Under 6.0.1 you can boot to twrp and wipe all partition (system, data, cache, internal storage)
>then from twrp reboot to download.
>make sure your pc ready to flash new rom and start flashing.
>after flash completed, ignore the setup page, just shutdown phone and enter download mode again.
>flash twrp (disable auto reboot)
>reboot twrp.. format data
>reboot twrp...install magisk
>reboot system
>once complete setup, just grant permission to apps that required root access.

I did download a clean rom using Smart switch and have a copy of it in case something goes wrong.
But now a new problem arises. Magisk module installation errors. I made a clean install and yet i get errors.
Steps I followed....
1. Install TWRP using Odin
2. Make a format data using TWRP ( so clean totally, after having a back up though )
3. Cleared all partitions using TWRP and then using Odin I flashed the new rom file
4. After flashing, without even powering it on, I flashed Magisk also
5. Then when I turned it on, Setup screen turned up and everything was working cool with no errors. But in the mean time I forgot which version I flashed (firmware).
6. Magisk modules cant be installed on my device now. And there is no official support from Xposed as of now for A9 Pro
Anyone else having same problem??
And can I get a serial number and model number as emergency firmware update is not accepting mine.
Other errors on this flash :
1. Call volume full from earphone error. ( Is it me or for everyone? ) [ When earphones are connected, there is no volume from the speaker when a call comes ]
I want to know if this issue is with the samsung phone as I have been reporting this since 6 months to the samsung team.

I try but not success.
Hi Sir, could you please send me a file magisk14.zip. I cannot found a right file, error every time. Could you help me please???

Galaxy J7 2016 (SM-J700T/T1) How to Root and Install Xposed

MM/N - How to Root Samsung Galaxy J7 (2016), Install TWRP, and Install Xposed. (SM-J700T/T1)​
Disclaimer​
Your warranty is now void.
I am not responsible for any bricked devices. This is the way I did it, some steps may not be necessary.
I'm just sharing what worked for me.​
Preparation for ROOTING J7 (2016) :
● Enable USB Debugging on your J7 (2016)*
This is very important thing to be done before you try flashing a firmware or recovery file. USB Debugging mode make Android devices receptive to download and send data over USB cable connection. If you do not know how to turn debugging mode ON, do this :
● In your ROM, go to Settings -] About device. Tap 7 times on Build number to enable Developer options.*
You will see a message that “Developer mode has been enabled” on your device.
● Now go to Settings -] Developer options : Tap it and go to USB debugging option and check the box to enable it.
● In the ‘Developer Option’ you will also find the ‘OEM Unlocking’ option, just enable it. (You need to enable OEM unlock, Otherwise you might end up with boot problems or be unable to flash later on)*
● Install Samsung Android USB Driver for Windows to your Laptop/PC, Then connect your Samsung Galaxy J7 (2016) with USB cable. It will configure driver automatically.
How to ROOT Samsung Galaxy J7 (2016) :
1.] Download Odin, TWRP Recovery, Custom Kernel & Magisk files to your Laptop/PC.
2.] Turn off your phone, Go to download mode (by pressing Volume down+Home+Power buttons at the same time for about 6-8 seconds).*
3.] Press the Volume up button to continue.
4.] Open the ODIN file and run you downloaded on your Laptop/PC.
5.] Connect your phone to your Laptop/PC through orignal USB cable.
6.] When ODIN detects your phone, It will show added in the Log.*
7.] In ODIN click on AP and then select the twrp recovery file by ashyx(twrp_3.0.3-1_sm-j700t_23217.tar). under Options tab disable Auto Reboot. Click on start, The flashing process will start. Once the flash is complete, exit Odin and disconnect your J7 from USB cable. Press Volume down+Home+Power buttons at the same time until the phone turns off, then immediately switch Volume Down to Volume Up, while still holding down the other keys.
You should now see the TWRP logo on your screen. Swipe to Allow Modifications.
8.]*Mount Internal Storage in TWRP:*
Go to download mode again and Open ODIN click on AP and the select Stock based custom kernel (SM-J710F-Kernel-6.0.1-nodmv.tar) under Options tab disable Auto Reboot. Click on start, The flashing process will start. Once the flash is complete, Now exit Odin and disconnect your J7 from USB cable, you can pull the battery then place the battery back in again.*
Note 1 As per my experiences, it is recommended to flash the Kernel, then recovery and then "FORMAT DATA" (not only wipe) to disable encryption. Otherwise, TWRP will not be able to mount /data.*Now, use the back button until you're at the menu. Reboot -> Recovery. Now flash ashyx's boot image patch (no-verity-no-encrypt_ashyx) to keep the system from re-encrypting.
12.] Use the back button until you're at the menu. Reboot -> Recovery. Copy and place topjohnwu's Magisk Stable or Magisk Beta zip file to your Internal OR External SD card.
14.] The recovery will start. Select 'install zip'.
15.] Go to and select the Magisk zip which you downloaded. Swipe to Confirm Flash. Flashing process will start. Now flash ashyx's boot image patch (no-verity-no-encrypt_ashyx) to keep the system from re-encrypting.
16.] Reboot -> System.
ENJOY your rooted Samsung Galaxy J7 (2016) !!
Install Xposed Framework on J7 (2016) :
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.
Preparation for Install Xposed :
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.
Steps to install the Xposed Framework for Galaxy J7 (2016) :
1. Open up Magisk Manager.
2. Go to Downloads tab.
3. Search 'Xposed' without the quotes.
4. If you are on Nougat, select the version for SDK 25. If you are on Marshmallow, select the version for SDK 23.
5. Select Install.
6. Reboot.
Enjoy the Xposed framework on your Samsung Galaxy J7 (2016) !!
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 until you enable it on Xposed framework by going to Module section on xposed installer app and selecting it on the check box there. Then restart your phone to use the module you have installed.

Your guide will be helpful to those still on MM, but why do you have a part in your instructions about flashing a kernel for the J710 (which is the j7 2016, for the j700t which is the 2015) and a totally different phone. If users flash that kernel they WILL bootloop their phones. And the vyper kernel is a nougat kernel and will not work with a MM rom. At all. Fyi, if anyone flashes any kernel, root must be flashed after and the encryption breaker. Each kernel every time. Not being a **** just noticed some issues and figured I'd help clarify

You're right, it was a bit confusing, I'll just take out the part about the kernel.

Wait so have you tested the Magisk Xposed for nougat? I think it's in beta and I am quite terrified of trying it...

Topjohnwu says the behavior should be identical to the original zips. Official xposed for nougat was released a while ago with 'some fixes to Samsung roms' , and some people said they got it to work by deodexing their rom. To avoid that step, we use the magisk xposed. If you are willing to deodex your rom, then you can try the official xposed.

I have been using magisk xposed for about 5 days now.. works fine. Make sure u use the magisk modded xposed installer too or the modules don't work. I run amplify and gravity box

TNX BRO
TNX:good:

Someone here to see if he has the same problem, it turns out that when I try to rotate the screen, like watching a video on YouTube, the phone restarts only a little research and it turns out that the error is caused by Xposed no matter if it's the official version or the magisk version causes the same error, I'm in stock J700T nougat obviously someone is passing this error
