Are you sure knox will be tripped rooting this way?

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] n3xx:
I installed this on my sm-925w8 i have red letters in boot says Kernel is not seandroid enforcing. There is no recovery i can find to flash that will allow me to boot into recovery after flashing it... the tmo versions of twrp allow me to flash but then when i hold home and volume up + power it just flashes the buttons at the bottom of the phone a bunch and boots too a black screen where i need to hold volume down + power to get the phone to reset.... i tried serveral other twrp .tars i found around that people said worked through odin but i can't get one too work... so like is there a way for me to get a recovery? At least i have root now which is one step forward but I'd like a recovery ... anyone know?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] carbonize:
True so long as you don't mind being on 5.0.1 and not being able to use certain features.

You sure this kernel works on your phone?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] meduza:
....not really ;)

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] cocoloco22:
Fingerprint working?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] meduza:
...I absolutely don't trust this feature, so I'm not using it at all...

_________

But I just flashed the newest FW OLB (Build Dec. 04) plus the OL6 base band :) And everything works pretty nice :)

m.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] cocoloco22:
Those are very good news: 5.1.1 + root+ Twpr + Custom ker and Roms with knox 0x0 (without loosing fingerprint scanner)

I think devs should include this information on the installation details
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] n3xx:
Yea, I mean everything works as it did before I installed the kernel except I have root now and a red warning on the boot screen.

I'm just unable to find a custom recovery that will install and function on the sm-925w8 so i can't do things like install xposed framework since it requires me to flash through recovery a package for this particular device.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] meduza:
...so TWRP doesn't work for you ??!?

m.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] carbonize:
What's not to trust?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] meduza:
....well a lot...,in opinion, the state based organizations like NSA for example, or the private, like Google for example, have a lot of informations collected from us already...., in this context the fingerprint, would be to much, I think. Or let's imagine, our finger prints are saved on Samsung servers somewhere and some bad hackers get it for some criminal reason... . Finger prints are really crucial and special, individual.. That's my personal reason.

m.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] carbonize:
In that case I have a foil hat you can have if you want it. Given the amount of information people like Google and possibly Facebook have about you already giving out your fingerprints would be the least of your worries. Not quite sure what you think they would do with your fingerprints though :-/
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] meduza:
You asked me why, so I just gave you my very personal view, that's all. I never persuade someone to think the same way or something. Btw, I don't like FB ;)

m.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] n3xx:
There is no twrp specific for the 925w8 in the repo, I read in places that the tmo version was compatible, I was able to flash it but it just goes to a black screen when you boot into recovery.

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] joghn:
I got a biiiig problemo.

My phone is a Sprint LTE Galaxy S6.

I just flashed this kernel using ODIN. It boots, but when it gets to the lock screen, there is no response to touch at all. I can tap wherever and however much I want, but nothing happens. What can I do to fix this?

I'm not too familiar with this stuff, but I'll provide any info I can

--edit

I can touble-tap the home button to bring up the camera. Doing so results in an error stating:

Warning

Camera failed.

and then below it:

EVT or Cal error. Please change your test device.

I see now that Sprint phones are not supported with this. My bad, let's hope I can fix this up.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] meduza:
I got it from here: http://www.android-hilfe.de/thema/m...atenbank-odin-cwm.688032/page-11#post-9415543

Hi guys I have got a question hope someone can help me with it.

I have got a brand new S6 Edge 925F model.

I have got COI9 baseband version on it. Can you flash this kernel to my phone?

As I understand if I flash the kernel I will get root access? Will I get TWRP custom recovery as well? It might be silly questions I know but I dont wanna brick my phone while trying to get the root access. Thanks
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] meduza:
TWRP doesn't come with the kernel, it has to be flashed separately.

m.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] PiskopatYazar:
Hi thanks for reply. I have flashed the kernel I have got the root access. What is the latest TWRP? Can I flash it only via Odin ?

Hi guys

Is this kernel version 9 is available?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Fruktsallad:
[MENTION=4517211]Xileforce[/MENTION] Sorry if this has been asked, but since this kernel now seems more or less abandonware, would you (or do you know someone else with the skills required?) consider using the sources to continue development of Unikernel?

Cheers!
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Xileforce:
Well, It wouldn't be hard to do so. The kernel code itself is extremely close to stock aside from unification and some misc patches and tuneables(this is the goal of the kernel). However all I could really do would be to bump up the firmware version. Much more and it wouldn't be unikernel anymore. Glewarne didn't even want to update the Linux version to keep it closer to stock. Is that what you would like?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Fruktsallad:
Yes, I'm thinking that such an update would be appreciated by quite a few people around here (myself included). Although I love the customizations and options offered by your Vindicator kernel and Hacker kernel, I find myself switching back and forth between your kernels and Unikernel. This is partly because, as mentioned before, Unikernel is the only one beside stock kernel that doesn't give me lag after prolonged usage. Currently experimenting slightly to see if I can figure out what's causing it.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Xileforce:
Alright I guess I can give it a shot :) I'll try to remember the next time I fire up my build machine. The biggest reason unikernel achieves its smoothness is that enforced mode is enabled by default unless u disable it in aroma. It basically uses the big cores all the time instead of only for highload stuff if u monitor the usage real-time.

Edit:

Realized you said prolonged usage :P this is something I'll be investigating. I believe it may have something to do with some lowmemory killer tweaks im running that I pulled from arter.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Fruktsallad:
Cool, that'd be awesome Xileforce! I'm also thinking the lag likely has something to do with lmk/dha/fha. Right now running Vindicator R5 using my build.prop from Unikernel...I'll see if that makes any difference.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Houge_Langley:
Venom ROM using V9
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] alex00006:
Hi

What is the best configuration for installing the kernel???

In aroma beat confirm

Battery or.......???????
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] droidbits:
Hi!

I don't have TWRP installed yet and not rooted. How do I go about installing the Aroma version for the Performance or Battery presets please?

What would be the easiest and smartest way to do it without having to flash too many times?

Thank you!

Edit: I ask this because from what I understand on a 5.1.1 stock, if I flash TWRP alone without a custom kernel I will get into a bootloop.

New to Samsung from LG G3 sorry!
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] meduza:
Aroma will work only, when you flash via recovery, using odin it will not, I think.

m.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] droidbits:
So can I first flash the Odin version of this kernel (also gaining root?) and then without rebooting the phone in Odin then flash TWRP?

How should I do it please?

Any answers will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] meduza:
...I did it the opposite way, TWRP via Odin and later kernel via TWRP...

m.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] droidbits:
Oh okay then. I was under the impression that if one reboots with TWRP after flashing it and not using a custom kernel would get into bootloop.

Thank you. I will try your way first. Very much appreciated!
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] meduza:
The TWRP flashing procedure is described in the OP of it's thread. If you follow this, everything should be fine. I think, you could go to the recovery without rebooting the ROM just directly after flashing...

m.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] droidbits:
Okay it is sorted. I did like you mentioned.

Everything is great. Thanks for the help.

Ok, now i know that UniKernel v8.0002 doesn't work on Beta Marshmallow.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] droidbits:
Of course not mate. If you would have read the OP it says 5.1.1 only.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Damian:
Yep, but if i do not try i never know. ;)
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] droidbits:
I understand mate but what I meant was that if you keep trying like that one day you are going to completely brick your beloved phone.

Flashing something that specifically states that is not for your circumstances is dangerous.

Just a word of advice that is all...I suppose you were lucky this time! :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Damian:
That is only phone and is insured. If it will be bricked i will get brand new for very low money. :) (25 GBP)

And yes, just reflashed it with COI9 5.1.1 and is unbricked. :)
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] droidbits:
Amazing how some people just miss the point.

Good luck. Maybe one day I will be helping you in the Q&A to unbrick your phone.

I give up..........

One question. Are you on any custom Rom or you only flashed this kernel?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] nsnobel2:
Yes Villa_Man help me a lot as he can and I am thankful to him by heart for his struggle and time he give to me, I was on stock rom just flash this kernel, I have doubt that my s6 has latest build "G920FXXU3QOJF_G920FEVR3QOJF_EVR" and this kernel is not supported to this build because Odin flash failed at very startup its previous build which is also 5.1.1 "G920FXXU2QOI4_G920FEVR2QOI1_EVR"

sure I am giving time as I have no other option left
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Xileforce:
Alright guys here ya go. This is basically V9 but on COK2. I also added a couple of scheduler efficiency patches and one interactive patch that should slightly improve performance. I did forget to modify aroma though, so it still says V8. I didn't touch anything else. Enjoy ;)

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] mflajsek:
What's the procedure, we just flash the update over v8?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] edzamber:
Hi,

Here is a modified Unikernel v9 installer.

* I have add v9 in aroma-config instead of v8

* Add an ArterKernel Uninstaller (see updater-script #FLASH KERNEL section and system folder)

Effectivelly if you flash Unikernel under Arter Kernel, you will have a Bootloop because Arter Kernel change a lot of libs (especially videos libs).

I have include flashing stock libs before flash Unikernel process)

Enjoy :)

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] meduza:
So beside the aroma installer saying it's v9 and the arter kernel uninstaller option in aroma the kernel is completely identical? What about the lib flashing procedure?

Thanks a lot to you both!!!

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] edzamber:
Hi,

I havn't mofify Kernel, its the same as [MENTION=4517211]Xileforce[/MENTION] zip.

There is no option in Aroma to uninstall Arter Kernel, all is in updater-script. I add a system folder with stock S6 libs (working for S6 and S6 Edge) witch are automaticly flashed directly before kernel installation.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Roger.T:

Can you maybe add ROW I/O Scheduler?

It has been added in this version:

http://xdaforums.com/sprint-galaxy-s6/development/kernel-unikernel-v5-t3166295

Also the only other thing that is missing, is the possiblity to use synapse to undervolt. Beside of those two things, this kernel is the best one around. Way better than say arter v11 (this one has better standby drain)
