How to install the update manually?
Those who can’t wait for the official update can download the ROM that would install Android 6.0 marshmallow in their Samsung Galaxy J7. It’s important to note, though, that this ROM isn’t officially released in your country and may cause problems with the device, so users should download and install it at their own risk.
Good point. I hadn’t thhougt about it quite that way. 🙂
