[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Yuvch122:
Development is Paused because AOSP is still being worked on and such.

I am not responsible for anything that happens to you or your phone or anything! You are allowed to use this kernel but It is not my fault in anyway for causing thermonuclear war or bricking your phone.

Welcome to Kermit Kernel.

FEATURES

- Based on DQIC Sources

- Powersuspend 1.7

- Asynchronious Fsync from HTC

- Blu_Active with modifications and such

- Boeffla Wakelock Blocker

- djb77's latest toolchain optimised for our devices

- Turn CRC off or on

- Init.d is supported

- Max and Min Frequencies for both CPU big and little have been increased

- Iron-active and Wheatley Governers

- A LOT of under the hood stuff for your user experience

I can take requests of course, don't be shy :)

I just want the kernel to be in favour of what seems good by users!

What is Anykernel?

You can skip this if you don't want to know how it works.

How do I install this?

If you already have AOSP with it's stock kernel.

1) Reboot into recovery and flash it like normal

If you have AOSP with a custom kernel like PRIME, Prophecy or Primal.

1) Go to the AOSP ZIP you installed, extract boot.img from there.

2) Boot into recovery, flash the boot image. Don't forget to switch the option from ZIP to IMG if you can't find it in the directory you extracted it from.

3) Then go back to home screen in recovery, and go flash Excel Kernel

I really don't need to explain this in detail and such because if you got here it mean's you know how to install AOSP ROMS. It's pretty simple. :)

I'm very interested in using your kernel just wondering about the battery life and thermal issues. Whenever I play games it just heats up like crazy in aosp and battery life suffers coz of inefficiency. Just wondering if you've fixed these issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Yuvch122:
In AOSP, those issues are not gonna dissappear but you should see a notable difference. Theres things like hero-common and such I cant fix.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] ToRRIIDeR:
I'll be trying out your kernel tonight
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Yuvch122:
Ayy :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] ToRRIIDeR:
Omg....Thermal issue has been pretty much fixed 0.0 however using stock settings did cause system shutdown when running geekbench. Needed to under clocked it significantly but it's so early so its amazing. Will use it the next couple of days and test for battery life
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Yuvch122:

a few Misc questions

Hello,

What is typical battery life by default for the Kermit Kernel?

I'm not a gamer so don't do overclocking or highly intense graphics, for me good battery is essential, is there ways I can increase battery longevity?

Does the Kermit Kernel support fast charging by default or must it be enabled?

Does Kermit have support for VoLTE/HD voice and Wifi calling by default or can that be compiled in?

Lastly, does Kermit Kernel have support by default for the doubletap 2 wake feature (originally pioneered by the LG phones, the G2 I believe was first), or can it be compiled in?

Thanks.

Dave.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] JulesMarcus1234:
Hi,

First of great work! I'll be installing the kernel any minute now. I also wonder if it's possible to DT2W in the kernel. Have tried it myself but got lost fairly quick...

Keep up the good work!

Jules.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] tech927:
dt2w?

Hi,

I'd like to know how you atempted dt2w and where you got stuck?

DM me if you want.

What is the current status of kermit?

Thanks.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] sn0warmy:
Just picked up my LG V30 and I'm not a huge fan of the stock LG theme or the alternative themes LG has made available. There was previously a "Pixel UX Theme" for the LG G6 that was fantastic.

Link to that theme:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lge.theme.pixel.ui&hl=en

Has anyone found a theme like this that works for the V30? I tried installing it on the V30 and it doesn't work.

Markbencze released his new Pixel light theme for the V30. It's exactly what I was looking for.

Link to his thread:

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] emmanuelw:
Mark, the creator of this theme is still waiting to receive his V30 and then he intends to work on themes for it, there's a thread on XDA

https://xdaforums.com/v20/themes/mark-bencze-theme-designs-one-stop-v20-t3509777
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] dragion:
The V30 won't be released until the 20th of Oct in Canada.

Mark will be creating themes for the V30, but will have to wait until then.

The only theme that did "sort of" transfer over from my V20 was his "Dark Nougat" theme.

You can try NNG's themes...some of his are imported over to the V30.

I currently have his Pixel Dark theme installed.

https://xdaforums.com/lg-v30/themes/nng-themes-support-feedback-t3685996

Have you looked at LG SmartWorld for themes?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] sn0warmy:
Good to know. Thanks!

I did see his themes. If he had a "Pixel Light" theme, I'd be all over it. I tend to prefer light themes over dark.

I've looked at the themes in LG SmartWorld and some are alright but I haven't found one I love. The best one I've found so far is "Blue" under the "Top Free" category within the LG SmartWorld app. It will hold me over until Mark gets an Pixel Light theme put together.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] dragion:
I myself prefer the "darker" themes, especially with the POLED screen.

I like both "Neon Box" & "Universe" for being dark themes...also C_BMW M2 Coupe is nice, but I replace all the wallpapers with my own.

I hope that you will find that "perfect" theme :)
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] sn0warmy:
I decided to give that Pixel Dark theme a go and must say that I'm really liking it so far. This may have just changed my mind about what kind of theme I truly prefer.

Thanks for the recommendation.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] sn0warmy:
I did. I'm fact, I'm using it right now. It's a great theme but I still prefer light themes, personally. So I'll continue using this dark theme until a good light Pixel theme gets released.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Negan:
So I got my V30 today guys so stuff will start happening soon. Also as a reminder guys even though it was my theme linked in here, we aren't allowed to link paid themes on xda so we should probably try not to do that!

I'll have a nice thread for us to talk about stuff soon too! If anyone of you folks don't know me or aren't familiar with my V20 or G6 threads you should take a quick peak and see how we do things in there. Both are fantastic threads with great people. I'm very excited to make a new thread for this device
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] stevefrench85:
Been away from the LG community since the G4 died on me, but happy to be back and excited for your work! The G6/V20 work you've done looks excellent, and I'm really pumped (not to take away from this thread's main theme...heh...) to see how you use the POLED to bring out the rich blacks in some of your new work!

[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] vettejock99:
So I've seen people report this problem, but I've not seen a fix posted. I'm not sure what the fix is, either, but this warrants its own thread.

Running stock with Magisk 14 and TWRP 3.1.1.1-r3. Whenever I try to install a module in Magisk the log shows:

- Found /data/magisk_merge.img

- Mounting /data/magisk_merge.img to /dev/magisk_merge

- !/data/magisk_merge.img mount failed

- Failed!

- Installation error!

I think someone implied this could be a F2FS-related error, but this TWRP version has supposedly fixed that so I don't know.....

Can anyone help us?
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] DingusPrime:
As I understand it, and I could be wrong, but the F2FS issue is a kernel problem. I think I've seen that the kernel sources have been released, so someone more knowledgeable may be able to apply the fix.

In any case, the problem you describe is rather unfortunate. As well, SafetyNet is failing after every reboot, until MagiskHide is toggled and Google Play Services' cache is cleared. Same software and hardware.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] amarc78:
We need a custom kernel with the patches for it to work right. Maybe I'll build my first custom kernel. Been wanting to anyway.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] CLETjB:
This E4 doesn't have NFC (Near-Field Communication) for Android PAY so the SafetyNET shouldn't be a factor.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] DingusPrime:
That'd be pretty sweet. I haven't compiled a kernel in something like a dozen years (and only for a computer, not a phone), or I'd try it myself.

Personally, I couldn't care less about Android Pay. However, lots of apps (most which don't really need it) utilize Safety Net in some way. Some banking apps and games won't run, Netflix won't show up in the market, etc.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] jdmsohc22:
I'm on the most recent NotSoStock ROM, but want to flash back to stock to trade device in so I'm doing the LGUP KDZ restore method.. However, my phone says I'm on VS99515A in the About section of my device, yet LGUP recognizes my device as VS99511A, so which vs995 kdz should I flash? I don't even see an 11A in the LG KDZ files page, so should I be ok flashing the 15A KDZ file..??

Thanks!
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] runningnak3d:
It doesn't matter what the current firmware is on your phone, when you flash a KDZ it gets replaced. You can flash whatever version you want since you are probably on 15A with an 11A bootloader. Either way, you are definitely fine flashing 15A, and that will get your phone back to stock so you can sell it.

All of a sudden i am receiving an offline alert at the bottom of my screen. Please see screenshot
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] j to the 4n:
Must be some 3rd party app you installed.

It has either "draw over apps" rights (Settings->Security->Draw over apps) or even root rights (if you are rooted).

remove the permissions one by one and reboot to find the culprit app
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] zeke125:
Thanks for the tip. Though i cant find the draw over apps at the security setting.

Offline alert at bottom of screen - I have the same thing on my Z2 Play

I hope it's an app but I uninstalled everything I added to the device yesterday and it's still there. It goes on and off periodically. A reboot didn't fix it.

Yellow font 'offline' in a gray bar.

Anyone else seeing this?
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] j to the 4n:
Damn.

Go to Settings->Apps->Press 3 dot menu button at top right->Configure Apps->Special access (at very bottom)->Draw over other apps

[MENTION=4412203]Nsain1[/MENTION] got Zedge installed as well. Wonder how it can draw an overlay though without the "draw over apps permission".

I stopped using ES Explorer a long time ago. It's not installed on my phone.

Do you guys have DocuSign?

---------- Post added at 04:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:53 AM ----------

Alright....I did a safe mode review and no message came up... Meaning it is a 3rd part app (no surprise).

I uninstalled tapatalk, IFTTT, Smart Life and DocuSign.

Then rebooted....Guess what... No more message!

If you have any of those apps try them first and let me know which one it is. Thanks!
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] WilsonFlips:
I'm having the same issue on my S7. Started about 2 days ago. I do have Docusign installed. Do not have the other apps you listed. Will test uninstalling DS as well.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] zeke125:
Just uninstalled Docusign.. so far so good..
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] Nsain1:
I'm about certain that's the culprit.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] Nsain1:
I realize things happen but there is no excuse for any app to be able to override permissions like DocuSign did. Whether it was done on purpose or not is irrelevant. When you have time I strongly suggest everyone send a complaint to the developer: mobilefeedback@docusign.com

I got that from the app in the app store. This is unacceptable!
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] WilsonFlips:
The last update that was pushed logged me out of Docusign. I logged back into the app, and that has seemed to solve my problem thus far.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] androiddev88:
hi, DocuSign dev here. I can totally understand how frustrating it can be and we are pushing out a release soon to address the issue. Sorry for the inconvenience and annoyance. In the meanwhile, if you want that bar to go away, you can kill the app by tapping the All Open apps button (usually next to your home button).
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] j to the 4n:
Thx for the confirmation that the bar comes from your app (-:

May I ask, how you can create a overlay window without draw over apps permission? Or did the guys here just didn't remove the permission properly or at least didn't reboot afterwards as I suggested.

Besides the overlay type "TOAST" all overlay types need the draw over apps permission on API 25. But the TOAST one dissapears after a Toast.LENGTH_SHORT. Seems yours was permanent though.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] Nsain1:
So I killed ALL permissions including overwrite and notifications and rebooted. In fact after that I uninstalled apps that updated most recently one by one... The second I uninstalled DocuSign the bar went away for good. After some time I rebooted to make sure. This is BS and they have some explaining to do.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] androiddev88:
So adding a view to the WindowManager doesn't require a permission if it's of type toast. The reason it is staying there is that the app is backgrounded and not killed. This issue is broadly a samsung specific issue. I'm assuming the call to remove the view from the window manager is not completing as expected on Samsung devices. I tested it on Nexus, LG and HTC devices and it works fine.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] zeke125:
Well.. this is a HTC forum so it is affecting HTC devices.. anyway thanks for the clarification
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] MAMUNIA:

I'm on an AT&T grandfathered unlimited plan. Is there any way for me to hide the fact that I am tethering from AT&T?

I have altered my build prop to allow me to enable the tethering feature in rooted stock Oreo.

I have read that using a VPN on the client machine (my laptop) will prevent AT&T from recognizing that I am tethering, but I cannot confirm this.

I just got my g930u (Samsung SM-G930UZKAXAA S7 Galaxy) today, and wondering if there is a custom recovery for it?

I have seen a thread on how to root (https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s7/how-to/root-sm-g930u-tinysu-t3667800)

But I would like to do recovery/backups and flash between ROMs and the stock recovery doesn't let you do that (not that I can see?)

I saw a few threads that indicate CWM or TWRP don't work on the 930u including this one: https://xdaforums.com/android/software-hacking/custom-recovery-s7-sm-g930u-t3668662

Or am I missing something, I may not be up to date on what is possible with the S7 or just behind the times with flashing etc. My current phone is a Galaxy S4 mini so finally I am upgrading to a new phone, but I have been flashing ROMs etc on that for awhile (currently stuck on the last cyanogenmod but still like it!), so just used to doing a backup via recovery before doing anything. Just have to remember all the steps to get to the point where I can do that.

From what I remember I want to do a backup, then root, then install Titanium Backup and then go from there.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] tph88:
ok! Well I guess I will answer my own question - after reading and researching some more, finding out that the US version of this phone (which g930U is) has a locked bootloader and no one has been able to by pass it.

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s7/how-to/discussion-unlock-bootloader-rd-t3582800

So! wow I thought I had done a really good job researching and figuring out which phone I wanted (including which ones I could flash ROMs etc on) but I guess not!

Now debating if I should return this for something else....
