Total noob here, looking for a bit of help. Never messed with smartphones before in terms of flashing, rooting, etc.
I have a replacement Note 7 which they sent me after the first recall. I didn't send it back when the second recall happened. I've never opened the box. I'm in Canada so I guess it's Snapdragon processor. I want to flash a custom ROM so I can use it as a phone, and of course avoid Samsung's update which apparently stops you from recharging the battery. I suppose I will have to make sure there is no active wifi in my area when I start it up for the first time, then immediately turn off wifi so it won't update.
So, can anyone recommend a free custom ROM? I don't care about features, don't care if the phone will have iris scanner and so on. Also don't care which version of android it's based on. Just something that is easy to install and will allow me to use it as a phone. All it really needs to do is make calls, send texts, run WhatsApp and FB and play music.
Is there one that comes with clear and easy instructions? Something that any computer literate person would be able to follow even if they have no experience with smartphones. Also something known to be stable and easy to use. Thanks for any advice.
