In plain language

DO NOT STEAL

MY SH*T !!

UpInTheAir is NOT responsible, the person you see in the mirror is !!

REQUIREMENTS

:

Supported variant only !!

​

** I will

NEVER

support KOREAN (S/K/L) variant. Get over it and flash ARTER kernel instead !! **

Touch Wiz Android M 6.0.1 ROM

or

UX leaked firmware (boot support only)

Appropriate custom recovery (i.e..TWRP for your variant)

INSTALLATION & UPDATE

:

If you have Synapse installed = = you must clear Synapse app data before flash !!

Device Settings: Enable Developer Options > OEM UNLOCK is ENABLED

Boot into custom recovery (volume UP + home + power)

DO NOTHING

but flash SkyHigh kernel.zip (ALWAYS flash again AFTER any custom ROM installation, system or data wipe)

After flash ==

DO NOTHING

but REBOOT IMMEDIATELY from TWRP or you will have to re-flash !!

CONVERT EXT4 TO F2FS FS

:

If not already, install the latest TWRP for your device variant (ie. 3.0.2-2). This must support F2FS.

Boot into TWRP.

Insert USB-OTG

** ALL DATA WILL BE WIPED FROM INTERNAL STORAGE (restored later)

Backup (copy) all important files (incl. your NANDROID) off device (ie. from internal storage > USB STORAGE). This can take a while. Advanced > File Manager > .....

Home > Backup > Select Storage > USB Storage > OK > "Swipe to Backup" (Only need DATA, but recommend to backup all partitions).

Install > Select Storage > USB Storage > OK.

Select f2fs.zip > "Swipe to confirm flash" (This will WIPE ALL DATA !! & convert DATA & CACHE to F2FS.

System is not supported by kernel

).

Check the box to remember setting and “Swipe to allow Modifications”.

If you do not have Step #8, then Data was not converted to F2FS.

Mounts > unchecked both Cache & Data. Repeat Step #7 & 8.

Restore > Select Storage > USB Storage > OK > Select TWRP Backup folder > DATA ONLY !! > "Swipe to Restore" (ignore warning about EXT4).

Home > Install > Select Skyhigh_kernel.zip > "Swipe to confirm Flash".

Home > Mount > USB STORAGE > uncheck/unmount (then remove USB-OTG).

Home > Reboot > SYSTEM.

Wait ~2-5 mins for boot.

Once booted, let stabilize for ~5 mins.

You can check Data & Cache F2FS FS status in either /proc/mounts or Synapse app (FS section).

Use a root type explorer (su permission) & navigate to /sdcard, and delete the "0" folder.

Move (copy) your backed up files from Step #4 to internal storage (/sdcard). This can take a while. Maybe one folder at a time is better?

ISSUES ?

If using TWRP MTP mode, deleting some folders/files may crash TWRP and cause corruption. Instead, use a root type file explorer to delete from device.

If you need to wipe data, then use the ext4 or f2fs.zip, otherwise this is not possible with this TWRP !!

Not tested any method with customized ROMs. The ROM installer script may re-format partitions back to EXT4 or not mount correctly causing TWRP crash or corruption. I can only suggest to Flash ROM with EXT4 FS > make a NANDROID on USB-OTG and then follow the F2FS steps above.

CONVERT F2FS TO EXT4 FS

:

The Same steps as above, but use the ext4.zip !!

OPTIONAL SYNAPSE INSTALLATION

:

After boot:

Wait at least 120 secs to stabilize

Install Synapse app from Google Play and rate it ☆☆☆☆☆ !!

Open Synapse

Tap "Understood"

So changes stick every time you start Synapse == Make

any

change & 'apply'.

Recommend: Disable KNOX with Synapse

DOWNLOADS

NEVER

support KOREAN (S/K/L) variant. Get over it and flash ARTER kernel instead !! **
