We have got hold of official touchwiz android 6 Marshmallow ROM for the Samsung Galaxy S5 Mini that is deodexed, rooted and de-knoxed. This ROM is exactly the same as the one that was pushed by Samsung but the only difference is that it has been rooted so there is no need of rooting it again. The only requirement to flash it is that you need to have Galaxy S5 Mini TWRP installed and second, it works only on the G800F variant of the android phone.

Here are the installation instructions for installing the Samsung Galaxy S5 Mini Android Marshmallow 6 Pre rooted, deodexed, de-knoxed ROM.

1 Download original Firmware and mod.

2 Boot to recovery and wipe everything – internal storage isn’t necessary, but it is always recommended to start a 100% clean installation

3 Boot to Download mode and flash original firmware using ODIN

4 Let it boot, configure your things, etc and then go back to download mode

5 Flash latest TWRP recovery – don’t let the phone boot. Press volume up + home + power until “recovery is not seandroid enforcing” message pops up as soon as ODIN finishes the flashing process

If you are an android user, you might be having several questions about whether you should have antivirus on your phone or not. Many Apple users see android phone as virus-prone phones and do not like buying them for this very reason. However, this virus problem becomes a non-issue if you install a nice antivirus application on your phone. This way, you will be able to enjoy all the benefits of an android ecosystem and remain virus-free too.

There are plenty of antivirus applications out there but the one we recommend is AVG antivirus. This is a free antivirus for android and protects your phone from viruses and more. The Google Play Store is the main target for such viruses and malware. Google does not have a strong comprehensive policy and hackers make use of it put adware, Trojans, viruses and spy tools in their applications. Their applications send private user information back to the hacker which can be used for all sorts of bad things.

Fortunately, by installing AVG antivirus, you make your phone immune. The first thing you should do after installing of AVG app is full scan of the system. It supports scanning of both internal and external storage. This is important as sometimes there are applications that might have installed malware or virus in your system which could already be harming you or your phone’s performance. AVG will help you get rid of those and more.

AVG antivirus is more than antivirus. It has wifi scanning feature that alerts you if you are connecting to a network with poor security level. It also protects your phone from ARP poisoning where the hacker can redirect you to different URL and infect your phone. It runs in the background and scans the webpages and if it finds something harmful, it stops its activity and alerts you. Main web browser and Google Chrome are supported. It monitors the battery consumption in the background and can turn on power saving feature if the power levels go under specified level. For instance, you can make power saving turn on as soon as your phone hits 20 percent battery level.

Verdict – We love the fact it works on both android phones and tablets. It is optimized for both small and big screen devices. AVG antivirus is must have phone for all android users.

If you are looking to install custom firmwares on your Samsung Galaxy J1 Ace, you will have to install a custom recovery – something like TWRP or CWM. This particular one is for the SM-J110H variant of Samsung Galaxy J1 Ace and after its installation, you will have to install all J1 Ace specific hacks and even root it with ease.

Here are the instructions on how to install TWRP custom recovery on the Samsung Galaxy J1 Ace SM-J110H variant.

1. Download and install Odin on your PC.
2. Once you have Odin installed, download the proper .tar file for your device from the download link above.
3. Power off your device. Turn on your device using the proper key combo to get into download mode and attach the device to your computer via a USB cable
4. Use the PDA tab or button to browse to and select the tar file that you downloaded and flash the device.

Keep in mind that modern Samsung devices come with a key combo in order to prevent users from entering into recovery. For that, you will have to type in fastboot reboot into ADB and then hold the key combo and boot to TWRP. Once TWRP is booted, TWRP will patch the stock ROM to prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP. If you don’t follow this step, you will have to repeat the install.
