If you want to install a custom ROM install it before rooting your phone, because when you flash the ROM you'll lose the root permissions.
And for a custom ROM check the thread of custom ROMs (https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j7-2017/development), you'll find there a lot to choose and, probably, they'll come with root permissions integrated. But make sure your model number (SM-J7[...]) matches with the ROM you choose.

Greetings,
Thank you for using XDA Assist.
To best assist you with your issue, I'm going to move this thread to your device's Q&A section.
You'll receive expert advice there.
Good luck!
Yes. U just need to have custom recovery like TWRP, to flash the rom. For that u need ADB drivers. Just google how to install TWRP. And after that u r good to go. But maximum custom roms r already rooted.
All roms are pre rooted dude.. Even this cm13.. And if u r avoiding rooting for warranty, once u installed custom rom your warranty will be gone
Without rooting, You cannot flash custom roms. This is because you need a custom recovery like twrp to flash zip files.

Rom for Samsung Tab A SM-T285

Hi People
Unfortunately not had any replies to my 1st post about what bloatware and preinstalled apps that I am able to remove from the device after rooting it.
Could I try from another Angle could anyone provide a link for a custom rom that I could try and install which would remove it by installing a custom rom?
Sorry guys but I'm desperate to get the crap off and free up the device storage!
Thanks
Paul

If you goal is to free up space just removing preinstalled apps won't help that much since you are only modifying the system partition which is fixed and readonly. As for custom ROMs, since you are a T285 user you have the benefit of a wide range of ROMs to choose from, for 5.1.1 you have the tinker edition roms, on the other hand the 6.0.1 (CM, Omnirom) and 7.1.1 (Lineage, Omnirom) based roms allow adoptable storage, of course the 6.0.1 and 7.1.1 roms have problems just take note of the issues and problems each build has and see if it works for you. Just take a look at the ROMs and custom kernel section of this forum.
Thanks Jedid, would these roms remove bloatware upon installation? Which would you say is the most stable? Are they installed using Odin?

when you "install" these ROMs they actually replace the entire system and boot partition of your device, so they don't remove anything they replace it. In theory the Tinker Edition variant is the most "stable" as it is just stock with some apps removed. For non-stock based firmware (CM, LineageOS, Omnirom) I guess CM-13 has the most hardware support. Yes you use Odin to install these.
You wouldn't have clear step by step instructions to follow would you please? New to this it is rooted twrp and supersu.
Also could you provide the Rom on the tablet as it is now incase ever what to return it to normal.
Hi Guys I managed to install the Tinker Edition 5.1.1, it's still got kids mode Hancom, Samsung smart manager still on there? I don't seem to be able to move to SD card I thought you could on this rom? If not could anyone assist please?

Only 6.0.1 and 7.1.1 based roms like CM, Lineage and OmniRom support adoptable storage. For Tinker Edition use root apps like Link2SD to move to SD card.
With links2sd can you move any apps on the device to SD card? Are there any that do need to be left on the device?
After turning on the device today I don't seem to be connect to my wifi. Saying failed to obtain IP address also won't connect using tether from my phone either. All other devices in the household are connected fine, and there were no issues prior to installing Tinker edition rom last night. Can anyone help please? How to rectify? I've switched off router rebooted I've switched off device and still won't connect?
Sorted problem, the IP address needed changing!
If I have now installed custom rom after rooting my SM -T285 how do I put it back to how it was from new with no root or custom rom, none of the apps like sky sports mobile virgin media anywhere will work on a rooted device!

you can download the stock rom from sammobile, updato and then flash using odin
Would that over ride any custom rom then? Or would have to unroot after installing stock rom

yes it would totally overwrite your custom rom.

a few questions about installing rom.

so i got a good deal on a s7 edge. Now im looking into installing custom rom and i guess the superman rom is the one to go for but i have a few questions..
1. is it worth it over the stock samsung rom that comes with it?
2. Does the phone need to be rooted? (I know, dumb question, but developers dont really mention it that clearly tbh)
On the installation video of the superman ROM i saw a few things come by which caught my attention and these are as follow
1.Wipe method
should i do full wipe or clean install? whats the difference?
2.CSC,
I understood u need it for VoLTE and wificalling, so choosing my right country fixes that?
3.build.prop tweaks
stock is obvious choice, but what is their advantage with no tweaks?
4. Magisk.
I understand this is rooting with keeping OTA updates, but when i want to install the rom im already rooted right?
so what i tought, when installing, i should install magisk with phh magisk root to keep the OTA updates? or do i need to do more than just that?
I know its quite a lot so im hoping somebody wants to answer them for me, it would be highly appreciated!!!

Some questions about rooting, custom roms etc.

Hello.
First I'd like to say that i haven't ever tried anything like rooting my phone or custom roms so that you know what you're dealing with
Lately I've been bored with my s8 plus(SM-G955F). Was even considering buying a different phone but then i remembered reading about rooting and custom roms so i thought i might give it a try.
I've been reading a bit about rooting and roms but all the information and methods can be a little overwhelming for someone like me who doesn't really know what he's doing. Basically i need help.
While looking for custom rom i'd like to try i settled on renovate ice and i have some questions.
Do i need to root before flashing a custom rom or does the rom come rooted already?
From what i understand i have to start with installing TWRP with odin but what then? root or rom?
Basically if anyone would be kind enough to provide some links with steps i need to take to install that rom and root my device and not mess it up i'd be grateful.
In case you need it I'm on the latest OTA i've received.

Hello there , you do not need to root your to flash a custom rom . All you need is to backup your data for you own safety and flash TWRP recovery through Odin probram . Renovate ice is most famous and stable rom you can try . It has same UI as the stock rom . Little changes only you might wont see me . If you want to change UI you should for another rom . Also root comes with the rom inbuild, specificaly renovate ice has two options to chose, magisk or supersu . Personally i prefer Magisk before through this app ' you can' modify your system, its like xposed framework.

So I installed TWRP like in the video.
Everything seemed to work i had a clean install of stock ore with twrp. When i tried to boot into twrp i had the "only official binaries" bootloop. So i flashed a bootloader and i was stuck on galaxy s8+ screen. Went into download mode to flash stock firmware but can't do anything. Stuck in download mode and can't flash anything now... How do i get out of it?
Edit:
Ok. Found a way to flash the bootloader. now I'm back to "only official binaries" bootloop.
Edit 2:
Ok managed to get everything to work. At least it appears so for now.
Had to flash nougat firmware then installed twrp, rom and root and it worked.
I thought something went wrong because it was very laggy but after rebooting it seems okay. We'll see how it goes from here.
Gonna google it and try to fix it but if anyone has any ideas i'd be grateful

This thread doesn't help because it doesn't provide a tutorial
To install any custom ROM you must
1. Unlock your bootloader.
2. Install a custom recovery, OFOX is the most recommend nowadays.
3. Flash the desired ROM, this exact process may vary from ROM to ROM.
Here is a good starting point but if you know how to make an internet search there are several tutorials for each step:
