hello everyone, im new to a custom kernel. i just flash this alphabet kernel on my rooted via magisk a520f/ds stock russia. 7.0

how to make tweaks to upgrade the performance of my phone?

sorry its complicated for me to understand the settings on AKM, for it might get errors on my device if i randomly tweaks it.

sorry for a noob question, :)

DOES NOT WORK with MAGISK have any other solution for secure folder
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] moozer:
If you are rooted then you have no access to Samsung Pay or Secure Folder. You will NEVER get them back because of Knox. You lost the rights to these when you decided to root and lose warranty as well.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] Andriano24:
Hey if I will reflash the kernel without root,will I be able to use secure folder? I mean you don't lose your warranty because you rooted your device but because you flashed it... or not? I just want my secure folder back... how s7 users were able to fix their phone and have access to the secure folder and another knox based apps
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] Decalc:
Just read the comments before yours.

If you root you trip knox and void warranty and lose secure folder forever.

Flashing this kernel with no root wont bring knox back.. so if you already triggered knox by rooting you might as well install with root because there is no turning back.

I rooted my device the day I got it. Don't need secure folder.. and I'm pretty sure I wont need warranty before it ends anyway.. so it's kinda useless for me.

Alphabet Kernel (B)

Thank you! No more delay when you unlock a pattern! Use Super SU. You could reduce the frequency of CPU?:o:good:​

Kernel C file added please.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] satnavpt:
A lot of people say that it is not possible to use secure folder with void knox but this is not true as the Galaxy S7 can do it and it has the same knox system as the A5 2017. Why can I still not use Secure Folder with this kernel if knox is spoofed as this is what allows the S7 to use secure folder with the Superstock kernel.

I can't translate directly what BS is, but it is asking what is this doing on here? You have linked to another ROM in a kernel thread which has nothing to do with [MENTION=7807060]GhaithCraft[/MENTION]'s work. Did you create the ROM ?

I am pointing out to you that this is not allowed on XDA. You cannot promote your work on another person's thread. You also cannot promoted your work with outside links.

You need to create your own thread using the XDA guidelines to show your sources, credits, etc.

If, however, you are NOT the ROM creator, then you need to show have express permission from the creator to post their work.

Read the rules. Remove your post. Start a new thread. Link to your thread.

And yet you find so much time arguing with me!

Well done.

Instead...create a thread to show your work. That's what ALL developers do... you can't because you are not the creator of the ROM. You make this quite clear

Lockup/Hangup problem with activated WiFi

I'm testing this wonderful kernel (C version I think) since 1.5 weeks with my A5 2017 and I noticed everyday, that WiFi is making problems.

With activated WiFi the phone needs to be rebooted to access internet again.

It seems to appear randomly.

Details:

WiFi is working well for a while, but sometimes if the hotspot/router is out of range, it doesn't disconnect automatically like every phone from that WiFi hotspot/router and just keep showing a good signal.

Also sometimes if that WiFi-lockup/hangup happens I'm unable to deactivate WiFi to use my LTE network. it stucks in deactivation process and notification bar button keeps to show it's "in progress" color

I have to reboot the phone completely and there is the next problem: The phone is hanging up completely in the power-down/reboot process.

I have to reboot it by holding home + power + volume up + volume down for few seconds to reboot.

As far as I can tell everything is working perfect with LTE only, until WiFi is activated for a while.

I'm trying the newest D kernel now and will report if this problem appears again

I just purchased the LG G4 H812 (in Canada) and I love it! I found that there was a few things that I changed right away and would love to hear what you have done to make this phone even better!

Here are a few things I have done so far;

Disabled a bunch of unneeded apps

Disabled Dual Window

Disabled QuickCircle case

Disabled sound on keypress

Turn Off Mobile Data (unless no wifi - while driving etc)

Installed Launcher <3

Turned off Smart Bulletin

Turned off NFC

Use Smart Unlock (Face and On-Body)

Increased vibration strength

Enabled Voice Clarity when not using voip

Installed V10 Camera Mod apk

Installed SystemUI Tuner (ADB permissions)

Disabled "ok Google" detection from any screen

I have been getting great battery life on this phone too! This is lots of web browsing, youtube, using the camera, small amount of gaming and lots of reading on the XDA app :)

And as I barely understand your post and what software revision is now installed on your box: use the latest rbox pre-rooted image, since it has an important security fix on blutooth.

Also there is a thread called "disable bloatware on the stick"... there are a lot of amazon things (alexa) you can savely disable if you don't want it.

I also don't want alexa, but the stick remote i use for the aftv has no microphone anyway.
