Q : Laggy on J7 15
A : Due to native blur and infinity wallpaper, blame samsung for using the poorGPU.

Q : Not passing SafteyNet.

Q : How to improve performance ?
A : If you are using GRX launcher , disable blur, and in developer options set transition animations to 0.5X

Q : How to update ALL samsung apps not just the few avalible?
A : Using any root explorer, go to system/build.prop and change J700F to N950F (Once done i suggest to revert it back for bixby Home to function)

A : Telegram Group : InviteLink

Q : How to use secure storage / SamsungPAY
