Don't like the defaults?

Use Kernel Adiutor to change the settings!

Frequently Asked Questions:

Is this a custom kernel?

I was asked this question once, and it posed as a real good question. I do not consider abyss kernel to be a "custom kernel" per se, but more so as a modified kernel. The patches and features that go into this kernel do not make it customizable. What they do is improve what has already been implemented. It is like swapping a car's engine for a better one rather than just adding LED flooring lights and fancy car mats.

Can you add [this] and [that] feature?

Something I pride myself with this kernel is that it does not have a bunch of random, useless features or patches mashed into it. Everything put into this kernel is thought out well and tested. I see a lot of works being made popular because it has [this] and [that] feature when really, it's nothing revolutionary. As a matter of fact, most things added to any kernel will not make it 5x better than any other kernel. Most of the time, simple is better; and in this case it definitely is!

[G 2014 Original Android Development] Ashok Menon 101:
Do you have any preferred settings to tweak the kernel or does it come tweaked out of the box? Thank you.
[G 2014 Original Android Development] adinkwok:
Everything is good to go after flashing. The most you could do is increase the Read-ahead size to 258kB or 384kB but there's really no point; it won't do much.
[G 2014 Original Android Development] Ashok Menon 101:
Alright, thank you.

Which ROM do you think is the best for this btw? No offence to anyone. I understand that egg-caf goes with everything but which do you prefer? Thank you.
[G 2014 Original Android Development] adinkwok:
My current setup is Exodus 6.0 and egg-caf kernel. Sometimes I forget that I'm using a phone (Moto G 2013) that costs less than $200 USD.

[G 2014 Original Android Development] Wolfcity:
As you kindly allow some non-development/off-topic discussion I´d like to ask a question about kernel flashing.

You write in your installing explanation

Boot into TWRP recovery

(If you're coming from a different kernel, dirty flash current ROM)

It´s a thing I often heard before. As an example: When I´m coming from a different kernel (I flashed a custom rom and then changed the kernel) and want to go back to the "stock" one why isn´t it enough to unzip my custom rom and flash the boot.img inside?

Where is the difference to dirty flash the whole rom?

Thx in advance.
[G 2014 Original Android Development] adinkwok:
Your question is not even close to what I mean when I say off-topic :highfive: (it is on-topic). Some kernel developers add scripts, patches, ramdisk modifications, etc in their zips to tune different types of values. The easiest way to get rid of all of that is by dirty flashing the rom, which replaces the /system partition and ramdisk with fresh ones from the dirty flash.
[G 2014 Original Android Development] Wolfcity:
Thx for your fast reply and good to know that my question was on topic.[emoji6] Some devs are very delicate when someone hijacks their thread.

Your answer declares the other files, that can be found in some flashable zip kernels.

Is there something to pay attention of when dirty flashing the same ROM again? Ok,don't wipe data is a clear thing but I think of unmounting partitions etc to don't mess up.
[G 2014 Original Android Development] adinkwok:
The Roms updater script will mount the partitions it needs. Just make sure after flashing that you wipe cache and dalvik/art cache. Most gapps have a backup script that prevent it from being removed during dirty flashes. If your gapps are retained, you know you've done it correctly.
[G 2014 Original Android Development] Wolfcity:
If someone (a friend oft mine or my cat, not me!) [emoji41] has deleted this backup script because he thought he doesn't need it anymore I think he has to flash gapps again too?

Thx for making things more clear and reminding me not to delete files flippantly.
[G 2014 Original Android Development] adinkwok:
Yes you will need to flash gapps again. Make sure that if you still have the backup script to not reflash gapps because I've had conflicts with that before. Not very fun.

Answer me a question, why should change decipher kernel for egg-caf kernel?
[G 2014 Original Android Development] sagar846:
Well you should choose:

Decipher: stable,enough features, battery.

Egg: Stable, no extra features, performance.

Performance is much better with egg than decipher.

But in terms of battery, decipher is the clear winner.

I've been using the egg kernel for a few days now with cm13 and it's good enough for me.

Performance is really good. I don't really care about the battery as I always have a charger with me always so I don't really mind.

Overall, egg kernel is pretty good.
[G 2014 Original Android Development] adinkwok:
How about you answer me this.

How does one get people to not do something in a thread? Back in the older days, that would be by writing something boldly in the OP. Guess that does not work anymore.

Honestly, you can do whatever the heck you want anywhere else, just not in my thread where I have my posting guidelines set.

Edit: also, I clearly state what is different in my kernel from others in the OP

[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cwaltenberry:
Okay, I've searched and searched and I can't figure this out. I have an original Xbox controller (with USB OTG cable) that works on four of my Android devices, but not on my Galaxy Tab S2. And when I mean "it works", I mean that I simply plug it in and I can use the controller to move around the screen. I don't have to install anything. Is there something I'm missing to get it to work? I couldn't find anything in the Settings. I tried a USB Device Info app, which showed that it can see the controller. I also experimented with the USB/BT Joystick Center 2015 app and it also saw the controller. So I don't think there is anything wrong with my controller or OTG cable. Before I spend anymore days working on this, I need a sanity check that I'm not missing something obvious.

It works on:

(2) Nexus 7 (2012) tablets with Android 4.4.4

(2) Galaxy S5 phones with Android 5.0

Does not work on Galaxy Tab S2 with Android 5.1.1

None are rooted.

Thanks,

Tried fixing my oppo find 7

Did all those Fastboot wipe .

Fastboot flash recovery and flash LOGO and stuffs

but im still stuck on logo ... WHUT
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] roi_xordo:
Did you unlock bootloader?

1. Connect the device to the computer through USB.

2. From a terminal on a computer, type the following to boot the device into fastboot mode (or restart pressing power+vol up):

adb reboot bootloader

3. Once the device is in fastboot mode, verify your PC sees the device by typing:

fastboot devices

4. From the same terminal, type the following command to unlock the bootloader:

fastboot oem unlock

If the device doesn't automatically reboot, reboot it from the menu. It should now be unlocked.

5. Then you can flash the recovery what you want. In fastboot mode, type in terminal:

fastboot devices

6. And flash the recovery. Type:

fastboot flash recovery your_recovery_image.img

Good luck

Hi, is it wrong to wipe the system partition before flashing a custom rom? Coming from stock ColorOS, I've wiped all dalvik cache, cache, system, and data, then flash a custom rom but it ended up getting endless bootanimation unable to boot into the custom rom.

I did unlock the bootloader with the adb code, flashing a temporary recovery was a success but endless bootanimation happened after flashing a custom rom. The custom rom was successfully installed according to TWRP's log.

Pls advice, thanks in advanced :)

P.s: I was referring to my friend's device X9076
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] roi_xordo:
Hi, i tried in the past some roms than not works, phone stuck in boot animation. The roms wich works for me and my x9076 with r63419 are:

Omnirom (6 or 5) THE BEST

Project Spectrum

Cyanogen 13 (modified version for new panel: http://community.oppo.com/en/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=44907&extra=)

Miui

If you install CM13, you need to flash unified partition script for CM13 (you can find it in the same post from the forum Oppo Community)

For the other roms i dont need to flash anything else than rom and gapps.

Now i give a chance to CM13, but i think that i will get back to Omni if developers dont fix the mobile radio issue.

Hey,

So I was running Exodus Android 6.0 5/12 nightly, everything was fine until I decided to flash XOSP unofficial by Vatsal.

I made a nandroid backup in TWRP (2.8.7.0) and flashed it. Didnt really like it so restored the backup and it said it failed.

So I thought it was no big deal and decided to clean flash exodus. It took a really long time to factory reset and when I booted, my external SD was not recognized. Flashed different roms, nothing. But when I reboot and then go into twrp,the sd card is recognized and I can access the files on my laptop; however, once I try to copy and paste them on a different folder it fails.

So I tried formatting it; didnt work. It still shows nothing.

Any suggestions? Thanks

Use Kies 3

Im also a G900F owner and I've been in a similiar situation. Download and install Samsung Kies 3(if you hadn't yet), just as the first reply said. On your S5, enter the Download/Odine mode by pressing VolDown+Home+Power Button and connect to PC with your USB. Open Kies 3, go Tools>Firmware upgrade and initialization. In the pop-up windows enter your model name, in your case I suppose its SM-G900F. You'll be asked for the serial number of your phone which is underneath the battery. Its written something like S/N: .... If correct, Kies will start downloading the correct firmware. The process is pretty much automatical, so just wait :)

After it is done, remove the USB, and the phone will (hopefully) reboot into latest stock version.

And before the OP does *anything* else I'd advise him to back up his IMEI/EFS folder, I've a feeling it's gonna be *critically important* that he does this......

@ *keithross39* hey sir, please help me on this.... :crying::crying::crying:
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
There are only three things we can be sure of right now.

1) It's not the FD variant simply because of the lack of a second sim slot.

2) It's not the H variant because the H variant wouldn't run the FD firmware.

3) Your device is ONE of the Qualcom quad core single sim variants.

Now....Here's the tricky part. You say your device has 2 imei numbers.....If you start flashing firmwares that are written to work with a single sim card, one of those IMEI numbers is probably going to get deleted.....If it's the wrong one, you're well and truly stuffed. So you need to find a way to back them up.

Most IMEI/EFS backup utilities require root access.

For now, you're going to have to treat your phone as if it actually *IS* the FD variant and find a root method that works on that variant.

Then once you have root, you can make that all important IMEI/EFS backup.

Once you have that, *then and only then* will it be time to think about how to return the OS to a single sim configuration.

Edit.....

This thread.....

1) Yes. That's pretty sure me too.

2) Not a H variant

3) Yes.

As I mentioned first post there's two IMEI numbers. But none of those not similar to sticker under battery compartment. (Not match with any of those)

I have rooted mobile using "CF-Auto-Root-klte-klteduosxx-smg900fd". And it's successfully rooted.

And I did IMEI/EFS backup using "Samsung Tool". Now what should I do as a next step?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
First thing to do is copy that backup 'off device'......If you have a removable micro sd card, copy it to that.....If not copy it to your pc or even cloud storage.....it's no good having a backup stored in device if the in device storage is formatted in my next suggestion......which is to flash not only a firmware, but a pit file too. I'd suggest using sammobile or samsung updates for the 900F firmware (the F variant firmware is as good a place to start as any) and the resources of XDA to locate the correct pit file. You can check here for pit files.....
