Update:

I went to the store the other day and found out why some things are
giving me troubles.  It's not me being clueless, first for everything,
it's my phone plan.  When I had the Razr, the sales manager disabled
several things that the Razr couldn't do anyway in order to get the
price down.  My data plan was set at 600MBs, yes, MBs, and was disabled
which is basically like zero.  So, when I'm on a wi-fi, I can do some
things.  Other than that, not happening.  If I want to pay double tho, I
can get a regular plan more suited to my phone.  I plan to keep my
cheapy plan for the time being.

I think I disabled a lot of stuff you mentioned Wol.  I do want to get
rid of that google microphone thingy but haven't quite figured out how
or what I can use in place of it that doesn't have the microphone
thingy.  It's not like I can cut the cord on the microphone since I want
to talk on the phone to people.  ;-)  I did manage to get it set up so
that I can upload my contacts and such, just in case I run over the
phone or something with the car or my tractor. 

On the SSHelper thingy.  I installed it a while back but was unable to
test it.  Finally I took a couple pics, just random junk really, and
tested it.  FYI, it requires a file manager not a web browser.  I used
sftp for mine and was able to see my pics and also able to copy some
ringtones over to the phone.  So, SSHelper does work on the Galaxy J2 at
least.  Mine for sure. 

I have one thing I have not been able to figure out tho.  I accidentally
imported my contacts to the phone twice. When I go to the contacts part,
it shows Phone twice.  I can't figure out how to delete one of them.  No
need having two copies. I'm sure there is a trick somewhere, I just have
to find it.  lol
