Hello everyone..I want to root my phone which is a Galaxy S6 G920I running Marshmallow :G920IDVU3EP2K...

Can this kernel be used to help me achieve root .

Please help
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Iliyena:
Got Custom recovery? (TWRP, CWM) Just flash SuperSU? But to answer the question: Yes it will help you. Tripped Knox yet? Using Samsung Pay or such?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Cuzeg Spiked:
OK 4 hours of battery for gaming starting from 100% to almost 0% with this kernel. This also includes the fact that amplify was working and Greenify as well as using AMOLED Cinema and low brightness with power saving mode. Sometimes WiFi would switch on or off though because my broadband connection is very bad. 4 hours gaming but much longer battery for other tasks. I'll see what the log looks like with normal usage. Not bad. I did use synpase as well. I'd say better than stock kernel maybe. No lag whatsoever with this kernel from my experience.

I was on 2100MHz on big core (A57 cluster) and a little bit more MHz of the little core(A53cluster) though for 4 hours on that game because that game was fast moving and intense on the big core CPU and GPU. I did get a lot done in that game for 4 hours because of such insane speed known to me. Some games aren't intense on resources so battery would last a bit longer as my daily usage without gaming is 10% battery loss approximate per hour. Fantastic kernel for sure and using the A53 cluster like that for long battery life and still super fast I like.

Edit: I reduced the maximum CPU limit from 2100mhz on big core(A57 Cluster) to 1704mhz on Synapse and I gained more battery juice for gaming and generally more battery juice. Even with reduction, no lag and fast.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] crixley:
I'd like to know how you managed to make this kernel so battery efficient. I get a couple hours more sot with this kernel than I do with any others

Is this For android MM? + Can i install this on a stock rom (only rooted) ?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] HM13androfan:
Okay thanks for answering but could you please tell how'll I install new updates since after tripping Knox... It'd be impossible...I suppose...or even how'll I flash custom ROMS
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Iliyena:
Flash custom Recovery (Found in rhis thread via fastboot( (Odin) then you can install "anything" on the fly. The Stock ROM can be found at sammobile. Hefty download of 1-2GB ;)

Id also flash ROMs for the S6 via fastboot or OTG. Using internal storage is not my preference.

There is supposedly a way to get by without tripping knox... But I made something wrong in the process.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] HM13androfan:
Thanks for an amazing quick reply... Just one doubt.. Will this rooting method you mentioned TWRP+SuperSU would brick my phone :confused:
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Cuzeg Spiked:
Well he did mention how apps use the little core (A53 cluster) which is why more battery life. I commend arter97 for making sure the kernel is fast whilst still maintaining long battery life using the little core. My 10% drain per hour isn't on it's own but it's what I got after using low brightness, Greenify and amplify but the kernel does give more battery life even without those apps for sure as well as using Alexis Custom Rom. There is definitely a big difference as I stated though.

Yes it works with Android MM. I'm not sure if you can install the kernel on a stock Rom though. My guesses are yes and that f2fs will also come on stock Rom. I haven't tested it to be sure though. You will need to use custom recovery like TWRP (if you didn't already) to flash the kernel and of course having a backup with you before hand. If the kernel installation is a success, you will have to wait for boot up to be completed. You will find that you have to root again though and when I changed to f2fs, it factory reset the Rom to setup wizard (I put the content of my internal storage, including the TWRP backups on the computer beforehand by MTP). Since you will have to root again after going through that factory setup, that SuperSU zip will have to be flashed via TWRP. If you didn't switch to f2fs, the contents of the internal storage won't be empty but you will still have to flash that SuperSU zip to root again however.

Another option is flashing the kernel md5 on latest Odin version (not sure if you use the AP button for it) or flashing TWRP through Odin then flashing kernel through TWRP.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Windforce0511:
How much better experience I will get using this kernel on stock debloated rom? How much smoother it is going to be? I'm thinking about to flash custom recovery just because this kernel. I remember Arter since the days of Galaxy S3. Thanks guys. :)
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Cuzeg Spiked:
Most likely, a very smooth experience and fast too for stock ROM although I can't be 100%. It is very fast, smooth and long battery life on custom ROM such as Alexis Rom for me but it should bear similar results on stock ROM. F2fs, faster speed overall, smoothness and likely longer battery screen on time as apps use the little core instead of the big core. Debloated does improve things too.

Also, when I just watched YouTube all day and went on the Samsung internet, I got about 7 hours and 1 minutes of usage before it ran to 5% charge. Maybe a bit longer if it was not just keeping phone awake watching videos but using it sparingly like you would a laptop. I'm glad to note that this feels faster than my laptop and has longer battery. With Samsung stock kernel, I never seen such results as it was at the very least 5 or 6 hours battery but the arter kernel makes such a difference in battery life. Also, since I don't have bugs with power nap like I used to, deep sleep is super good on this phone and of course Greenify, power saving mode, amplify and low brightness. Not 10 hours I said before but still a lot of time before it runs out.

My CPU governor and I/o scheduer was default interactive and row with minfree 2048kb settings. Of course some synapse settings too but that shouldn't be a biggest issue.

I'll try this kernel for a few months and maybe even a year and see how well the phone copes. It might probably be fast even after a year but I'll just wait and see.

Edit: I put f2fs on data and cache but not system. Why? I don't think f2fs system works [MENTION=4653287]Taranis01[/MENTION] .
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Edge330:
I lost root after flashing kernel, but I have superSU, what should I do now?

Poslano sa mog SM-G925F koristeći Tapatalk
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Iliyena:
Flash latest SuperSU. V 2.79 or so?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Windforce0511:
[MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION] Can I flash your twrp directly from ODIN or I have to flash standard TWRP, then flash your .zip file recovery? Thank you.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] CRiSTiANVASiLE:
It doesn't help. Looks like the phone can't be rooted after installed arter's kernel. Tried by flashing super su through twrp.

Any idea?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Iliyena:
Not with twrp's own, but with a supersu zip-file?

---------- Post added at 09:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:35 AM ----------

arter97s recovery is supposed to replace normal twrp, just flash his directly or you'll just have to flash twice. I think I'm using standard TWRP still... Heh.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] CRiSTiANVASiLE:
I don't understand your question.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Iliyena:
Twrp can also try to root by itself If you accept it. That way have not worked for me so far... So a separate SuperSU.zip is required for flashing. Which way did you try?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] CRiSTiANVASiLE:
Well, i tried flashing zip file through twrp..
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Iliyena:
Ok. Then It's very weird... Installed SuperSU app from play store and tried that out?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] CRiSTiANVASiLE:
Yeah. Did this too. No positive result.

I flashed hacker kernel and it runs well.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Windforce0511:
No problems here. I did the same steps and root works fine (using official latest TWRP)
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Battery03:
Does the Rom that you are running have SuperSU integrated?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] CRiSTiANVASiLE:
I'm running xtrestolite last version.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Battery03:
Ok. Did you flash SuperSU right after Arter's Kernel? Or you flashed Arter's, boot to system, boot to TWRP and flash SuperSU?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] CRiSTiANVASiLE:
The second one.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Battery03:
I had the same problem with Alexis Rom. Did you try flashing both at the same TWRP sesion? I mean, SuperSU rigth after Arter's. I solved the problem doing a clean install of the Rom, flashing Arter's and SuperSU all (Rom, Kernel and SuperSU) in the same sesion of TWRP. Then rebooted to system and everything was fine.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] CRiSTiANVASiLE:
I'm gonna try this.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Battery03:
Good luck. Tell me if this has been helpful. :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Windforce0511:
How many problems I can expect with f2fs file system on data and cache partition?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Windforce0511:
Btw 5h of sot with this kernel & stock debloated rom and all that without single stutter, so smoooooth. :) :) :)
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] GayCasper:
Any updates in the future?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] TENN3R:

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Windforce0511:
Guys, why Galaxy S6 slow down after some time? That is all about Samsungs skins or Android in general?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Soufiansky:
It's Android and specially phone running skins like Samsung phones, but it's way better now since the Galxaxy S6 for sammy, you just have to take care of your device and reboot once every 10-15days
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Windforce0511:
Now with bloats removed (ultra heavy debloat:), phone is running super snappy and smooth. All the basic Samsung's apps are replaced with Google apps from play store (including pixel launcher). I do not know how to describe this, but phone immediately work better than before. Even basic clicking circle animation is fluid without stutter. Using Arter97 kernel in combination with stock rom and F2FS file system on /data and /cache.

I have Magisk V10.2 - SuHide 0.55 - Root switch 1.3.3.2 and I cannot get into PoGo - what settings and procedures should I be using?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Battery03:
Suhide is not required. In fact, if you have november security patch or later SF will fail. Try without suhide. I recomend you use only magisk or only rootswitch. Not both. I just use rootswitch and I can play PoGo. Safety Net fails due the kernel is permissive but it matters not.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Pedroc1999:
I'll give it a try - However I need SuHide in order to use the Halifax Apl

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] sofir786:
I did a little digging around after you mentioned that, and I literally couldn't find one kernel which would even remotely work with your variant, you mind sharing the link to the post where someone said they had it working? Possibly could be made to work, but would involve a lot fiddling around, I don't really have the knowledge to go into too much detail but probs would be something to do with the ram disk used to compile the kernel.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Adzkii:
Do i install this kernel after a custom rom or before it then rom after it?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Soufiansky:
ROM then kernel
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Adzkii:
Cheers. So it would be ROM, first boot, back to recovery then flash kernel? I don't wanna mess it up since i just newly bought my s6.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Soufiansky:
You can flash it right after flashing the ROM. Full wipe>Install>Flash ROM>Install>Flash Arter>Reboot ?

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] vibecatalin:
Hello,

I've flashed the kernel via TWRP , installed Synapse but I only get a few tabs to control the frequencies and voltages and Busses and Misc tab, I don't have the governor tab or the IO scheduler tab.

What should I do?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] mdcool:
It's correct. This kernel offers very few customization (4-5 tabs, afaik), cause most things are already pre-optimized by [MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION]. I didn't even root my phone, cause it's already smooth and fast.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] vibecatalin:
But how can I change the governor and IO scheduler? I don't thing this is the way it should work
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] mdcool:
Nonono, this is exactly the way developer designed this kernel to work. See [MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION]'s video on schedulers. Governors were discussed multiple times in this thread before as well, there were many changes around v12 to make device smooth under load.

If you need more customization you'd better consider other kernels, sorry. This one is heavily optimized by author and does not need any additional changes except voltage adjustments.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] vibecatalin:
Okei!

Thanks for your quick response

Quick question ( apposed to the other "dev" bickering ) if op stopped updating in 2015 am I wrong in assuming this isn't gonna support sgs6 running 6.1 android . Pardon the missing brain.

Are you going to update for android 7?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] -Deco-:
The kernel hasn't been updated for months; highly unlikely that [MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION] will come back to the kernel.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Cuzeg Spiked:
This kernel has done it's work if it's not going to come for android 7 on S6. but tbh the nougat on S6 isn't really that impressive anyways unless the reduce resolution feature gets ported on S6.

I can already reduce resolution on my S6 to 1080p using resolution changed Pro apk. The other benefits are there on nougat but I'm not updating to it and not to mention no Xposed yet on Nougat but I'll be patient on that one.

6 months later and arter kernel is still quite fast and good with Synapse. But the other factors greatly helped. My phone did get slow but after I reduced resolution, the speed has been fast for a while , at least for gaming and a considerable amount of battery saved.

This kernel is very good though for those who want to stay android 6 on S6. The speed is so good and it's great at being a battery saver as proven.
