If your *Android 8 J7* device no longer supports Samsung services (like Galaxy Store, One UI updates, Samsung Cloud, etc.), here's what you can do:
---
✅ *Options:*
1. *Custom ROM:* - Yes, you *can install a custom ROM* (like LineageOS) to get a *newer Android version*, but it *won’t bring back official Samsung services* (like Galaxy Store, Samsung Members, or One UI). - Custom ROMs offer better performance & updates, but *no Samsung-exclusive features*.
2. *Why Samsung Services Won’t Work:* - Samsung services are tied to *One UI + Knox security + official firmware*. - Custom ROMs don’t support these systems.
3. *Alternative:* - Use *Google services* (Contacts, Messages, Backup, etc.) - Try apps like *Good Lock alternatives* for customization
---
⚠️ *Warning:* - Installing custom ROM needs *unlocking bootloader*, *TWRP*, and may void warranty or cause risk. - Backup your data before trying.
---
*Summary:* You can use a custom ROM for better performance and newer Android versions, but you *cannot get Samsung’s official services* back on your J7 once it’s unsupported.😊
