Update.

Insecure kernel now ready, down link will be available later today.

Had to skip the On Demand default governor, might come later.

Was struggling a lot of problems with the init.d support, but finally got it working as I wanted.

Kernel is only flash able using a custom recovery. During the flash, all instances of KNOX will be removed, if anything is present. Busybox binaries will be installed in xbin, no apk. Support for init.d will be added/installed; a test file will be created in /data on every reboot. This can be stopped by deleting the file 00test in the /system/etc/init.d/ folder.

Kernel has all rooting restrictions removed, everything is allowed; be careful with what you are doing!!

SE Android is Permissive.

All TIMA logging and a couple of other tracers disabled.

Compiled with latest Linaro 4.9.2 toolchain.

I 've tested this kernal a lot and haven't found any issues except screen mirroring. But again, I'm using a slim version. Be aware that some apps might not work due to no KNOX, insecure kernel and Permissive mode.

Stay tuned.

Regards.

Update.

Download link for insecure kernel now added.

As promised, here's the link you've been waiting for:

update_XXUCNG3+insecure-kernel.zip for XXUCNG3:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6he3hscczvdLWMyRDJFWGdEdkU/view?usp=sharing

ATTENTION: Due to stupid Google, they claim my kernel file was a virus, I had to repack the zip file once more with the update_XXUCNG3 KNOX free and De-Odexed system files.

Updated flashing instructions:

Download the above file to PC; it's about 900 MB in size.

Unzip it only ONCE using 7-Zip to get the real .zip files.

You should flash kernel first and then the update_XXUCNG3 file, if you want the De-Odexed system.

Copy desired files to phones internal or external SD-card.

Boot phone to your Custom Recovery mode.

Select 'Install zip'

Select from where to choose the zip file.

Select the desired file and just follow the remaining questions.

After a few seconds, reboot phone (Kernel only, system takes a little longer).

Congratulations; you're now running an unchained insecure kernel and or De-Odexed.

Note:

AnTuTu X Benchmark gives me a 36181 (A+) score on this kernel, without any frequency modifications.

AnTuTu Benchmark v5.1 gives me a 43590 (A+) score on this kernel, without any frequency modifications.

Both on a Odexed stock system. No apps removed (except KNOX...), just frozen.

All reporting goes here in the thread.

Will now start on 4.4.2 for 4.2.2 and 4.3 bootloader, if anybody out there is still interested.

I am, but don't break your head on it, I'm quite happy with 4.3 and I don't see much reason to upgrade to 4.4 as functionality is the same... (actually less if you care about screen mirroring)

How to download this kernel? If i click on link it s show me some files unziped
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Hey

If downloading using phone, use Google drive. On PC; at th the top of the screen there's an arrow for download, as far as I remember.

See ya

EDIT

Argh...Seems to a problem, I need to check up a couple of things.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
INFO

It seem that Goggle won't let people download my file. They (Google) claim is a virus and therefore it's not download able.

This is totally crazy, there is no virus in the archive. I have never had this problem before...

I'll return with more info when I know more.

Regards.

EDIT

Only way to get this to work, might be to include a De-Odexed ROM (app, priv-app and framework).

Making a zip archive containing 2 custom recovery flash able files.

Both to be flashed individual, kernel and the 3 system files.

It seems that Goggle don't scan files over 25MB.

Does anybody have a better idea???
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] nuckel82:
Another upload site maybe?

Or post it here on xda as an attachment...
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Update.

Decision is made. I'm uploading a new file called: update_XXUCNG3+insecure-kernel.zip

This archive will contain 2 new zip files; GT-I9506_DeHAWK_Kernel_CWM.zip and update_XXUCNG3_CWM.zip

Both files is to be flashed with custom recovery.

The update_XXUCNG3 file is De-Odexed and also KNOX free.

If you decide to flash both, flash the update_XXUCNG3 first and let it install, then flash insecure kernel.

Otherwise just flash kernel.

I have decided to also give you guys a SLIM version, containing both the system files and kernel with all its functions. Will come perhaps tomorrow.

Uploading now.

Regards.

EDIT

I'll update the original download link posted earlier. Please keep in mind that this is ONLY for users on XXUCNG3. I just flashed the update_XXUCNG3 file and my system is now De-Odexed. All previously frozen apps still frozen.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] lennis:

[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Update.

Uploading done. File is NOW downloadable. Also updated the flashing instructions.

Regards.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Hey

This is the full ROM, just removed KNOX. If you're on the XXUCNG3 release, which is a must, you don't need anything more. The files in the update_XXUCNG3 is just a De-Odexed version and just replaces the original once.

No magic :)

I now have screen mirroring working on my insecure kernel and De-Odexed system. More info will follow tomorrow, so stay tuned.

[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Hey

Hard to tell, depending on how many apps you decide to remove.

Hi, @ DeHAWK,

Flash the insecure kernel on my Odex rom and get random reboot.

Now flashing your de-odex rom, I have keyboard failure and sensor service failure.

And also random reboot.

Going to re-flash original rom and autoroot kernel.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] Tangib1e:
Very much interested, DeHAWK. Am still on your original 4.3 release, curious about 4.4.2, but don't wish to blow my Knox e-fuse now or at any point. Save us, saviour! :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Hey

You must be running XXUCNG3. I flashed a full stock 4.4.2 XXUCNG3, after setup I flashed my insecure kernel; then I flashed the update_XXUCNG3 zip file. Both files is exactly the same as in the archive I uploaded. It seems that you have flashed an image, because of keyboard failure. Only flash using Odin when I say so. Flashing the update.zip don't delete CSC.

I need to remake the OP 4.4.2 section with kernel information.

Try to flash the package I made for getting back to XXUCNG3 using Odin, to get stock XXUCNG3.

All my XXUCNG3 files requires a fully working XXUCNG3 system on the phone. Doesn't matter if it's De-Odexed or rooted.

Regards.

EDIT

Remember: no custom recovery when using Odin to flash CSC / Hidden...it will fail.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Update.

I have now created a MEGA account. No problems with the insecure kernel being recognised as a virus. :)

I flashed this kernel for two times and i got every time random reboot. I need to reintall stock again to work. I have stock than i updated for deodexed and than i flashed kernel. It dosen t work. WHY????
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Hey

This is very strange; I don't get it.

It runs perfectly on my own phone.

The is how I did my testing:

Flashed a total stock XXUCNG3 NEE.

Flashed CWM custom recovery.

From CWM I then flashed my insecure kernel. Tested a lot, WiFi connection some apps etc.

Checked that init.d was working and that I had root permissions. Browsed app folder to see if KNOX was actually removed (and it was).

Installed more apps from Google Play.

Froze a lot of apps using Titanium Backup.

Then flashed the update_XXUCNG3 package from CWM to get it all De-Odexed.

Last thing I did yesterday was copying the screen mirroring patch to lib after renaming the original as .bak

Then rebooted and checked that screen mirroring was actually working...and it was.

Conclusions is that the patch only works on XXUCNG3 firmware.

So this is how I did.

Of course a lot of flashing with CWM has happened while testing. But that shouldn't be a problem.

I need to check up on a few things in the kernel.

Btw. I have of course made a lot of factory reset during my testing, to make sure it was clean.

Regards.

EDIT

Compiled new kernel, made a few changes. Also modified the CWM flash to include the screen mirroring patch and backup the original.

Furthermore I decided to remove the SuperSU.apk from the app folder.

You should now install it from Google Play; this to make sure it gets installed the right way. Could be that it's already installed. This could actually be a problem, since the one I installed was in the app folder and if autoroot has been used before this kernel, it was installed in an other place.

You're still rooted, even without this apk pre-installed.

I'll update the download link posted earlier when ready.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:

New XXUCNG3 kernel released, use the link in previous post. Read the EDIT in the post before this for changes.

[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] kotaxor:
Hi DeHAWK,

I, too, am facing random reboot when installing your custom kernel on my stock odexed rom.

Could it be because of the custom recovery?

Which custom recovery are you using?

Edit: Any ways of flashing it without using custom recovery? Using Odin?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Hey

When does it start to reboot, after how long time?

After installing the kernel, try a factory reset with the stock recovery installed. Odin flash able stock XXUCNG3 recovery in OP 4.4.2 section.

It's very possible that, if you didn't make a full factory reset, there's something left from the stock kernel and system. As said, it runs very very stable on my own phone.

Regards.

EDIT

Don't forget to make a backup of important data before doing a factory reset.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Hey

CWM is on my phone, since I use it to flash several times a day.

So I really don't think that should the reason. Only thing I can come up with, as I said in the other post, is that there might be something leftover from the stock kernel/system that makes this happens. Remember that I've done several wipes during my testing and therefore my phone is clean. So when I flash a new kernel build, my phone has the stuff from the previous kernel and not the stock one. In CWM I only delete the delvik cache when flashing De-Odexed system, nothing else.

If not already done, try a factory reset from the stock recovery, after you have flashed the insecure kernel.

I also have all sensors working, camera, exFAT etc.

Activated test mode by dialing *#0*#

Does your kernel works well with stock odex rom?

Edit: Install TWRP recovery, did a dalvik and cache wipe, install DeHAWK's kernel and everything seem fine on my stock rom.

Will monitor for a while....
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] nuckel82:
Works fine for me. Not sure what's different but the phone feels a bit snappier and battery consumption for me is the same as with stock kernel. I use rom cleaner to get rid of all those ****ty apps you never ever use. http:// http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2348256 rom cleaner is for 9500 and 9505 but it works fine as long you have recovery with touch like trwp.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Hey kotaxor,

Glad to see that you finally got it working. So do you recommend people to use TWRP instead of CWM?

I haven't tried TWRP myself, but maybe I should.

Regards.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] kotaxor:
Hi Dehawk..flashing with TWRP seem to get better result.

I have yet to do a recovery from TWRP backup, so unable to comment much...lol.

Anyway screen mirroring is working fine. Great kernel so far...waiting for you to tweak it back to ' on demand' governor.

[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Hey

No, atm. not working on 4.2.2 bootloader. If you want to be able to use my 4.4.2 stuff, a full 4.4.2 update is required, before flashing any the 4.4.2 stuff. After I made my insecure kernel and De-Odexed system, I'm quite satisfied with 4.4.2 XXUCNG3.

If you want to update, either flash the original 4.4.2 XXUCNG3 NEE from my OP 4.4.2 section or download the XXUCNG3 for your provider from Sam Mobile.

After testing XXUCNH4 and XXUCNI1, I recommend to stay away from those version.

Damn, I was right to feel nervous when you bought a second S4+ .... I suspected your focus might drift towards the new majority who went ahead and got 4.4.2 and are happily tripping Knox.

Is there anything those of us still waiting for progress with the 4.2.2 bootloader might do to help you out / encourage you?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Hey

Don't be nervous, as said earlier I have had 4.4.2 running on my 4.2.2 bootloader. I now have a fully working 4.4.2 kernel and just need to make a few important things work to make it compatible with the 4.2.2 bootloader.

It will require you 4.2.2 guys to flash a system with my insecure kernel included. But that's not a problem, you don't have any KNOX WARRANTY to care about.

Hey!

Here it is:

Power off your device completely.

Press and hold Volume Up, Home and Power buttons simultaneously.

Release the buttons when logo appears.

That is it, after you release buttons, you will be taken to the main Recovery Mode menu.

Use its settings to apply any tasks you wish in order to improve your Galaxy S4 operating system.

To reboot back to normal Galaxy S4 mode, you need to return to the first Recovery screen and select ‘reboot system’.

To moving in the menu use volume buttons and for selecting use power button.
