[Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Tkkg1994:
Hello all together, I will start the first Note 7 kernel thread here on XDA.

Supports Touchwiz 6.0.1

IF YOU FOLLOW MY STEPS BELOW, YOU WILL LOSE YOUR WARRANTY, KNOX WILL DISPLAY 0x1! I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGED DEVICE!

If you want to take my work and need it somewhere, or do other things with it, ask me first for the permission. Otherwise you are not allowed to take it! Thank you :)!

Notice to all devs:

Fingerprint/iris patch and force encryption disabler are not part of the GLP since

the patch is not in kernel space, instead the patch was created in system space. The license which

covers this modifications is Apache 2.0 and this requires to give proper credits to me (in case you

want to use fingerprint and iris scanner on your kernel, as well as disable force encryption).

Not following those rules can lead to serious problems.

Any people who are not following GPL anyway are not allowed to use this patch.

If you want to see what I do for the note 7 as well, check out my rom: HydraRom, a Touchwiz based rom made by myself!
