I just released r6 which fixes all the bugs everyone has been reporting. Quick summary of fixes: sharing issues on Sac23 ROM, wake gestures on S8, MAC address changing, purple LED, multitasking and memory. Get it here on GitHub.

This release is almost fully compatible with Kali NetHunter. The only feature missing is HID device (mouse/keyboard) emulation, which is coming soon.

If you want to use quotas (benefits: faster app size calculation, preventing a rogue app from using all of the storage), install the modified TWRP by @Noxxxious by flashing the .img via TWRP: Install Image, Recovery. Get it here on GitHub. It is not required.

Full changelog:

Enjoy!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Moe5508:
Install hangs using the modified TWRP recovery...but eventually with some touches on the screen, it completes successfully...not sure why...first time a kernel install is behaving like this for me...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] kdrag0n:
Strange. Probably a one time slowdown in TWRP.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] kdrag0n:
r7 has been released with dramatic throughput, stutter, latency, security, and size improvements. Along with that, DriveDroid is now supported, old Wi-Fi fix is gone, network performance (Internet, etc) has been improved, and more. Get it here on GitHub.

Noxxxious' modified quota TWRP has also been updated. Download here.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] meddylad:
:( just updated to Ambasaddii 4.0 and this kernel is not working - black screen after boot logo.

Hopefully the dev can figure out the issue - I'm happy to help if I can

have you got "odin version" of Noxxxious mod of TWRP ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] wienio48:
r7 not working on CRGB - bootlop.

Working NX-R12.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] 5upon:
Really excited about all the optimizations in R7. It was working well with CRG1, but as the previous poster stated, it's not playing nicely with CRGB - the display goes dark after the boot logo (the Samsung animation doesn't appear) and the phone appears to be in a semi-booted state. Root shell was available via ADB, but I didn't have a chance to check logs - had to get my phone back online with the stock kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] kdrag0n:
r8 has been released. The kernel now boots on CRGB firmwares. Get it here on GitHub.

Changelog for r8:

r7 had dramatic throughput, stutter, latency, security, and size improvements. Along with that, DriveDroid is now supported, old Wi-Fi fix is gone, network performance (Internet, etc) has been improved, and more.

Noxxxious' modified quota TWRP has also been updated. Download here.

Only installed today, the only issue I've found is that every YouTube video I play only plays audio. Using Vanced YouTube magisk module on S8 Oreo June security patch

---------- Post added at 03:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:46 PM ----------

Same result using standard YouTube also

---------- Post added at 04:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:48 PM ----------

Sweep2sleep isn't part of the new gestures driver. There's up/down sweep2wake and double tap to wake. Use EXKM to control them.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] kdrag0n:
No. What do you want to undervolt?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] xFirefly93:
Undervolting is a thing of the past.. Not needed today when the SOC:s are power efficient enough as they are from factory.

[MENTION=7291478]kdragon[/MENTION]

Wonderful kernel. It pleases me the most. Great battery life and performance. I managed to get the best SOT with it.

Only one problem. The camera gives me FC after a couple of shots. If i reopen it, it shows black screen. Tried to wipe dalvik and cache a few times but the problem persists only with this kernel.

I'm on Alexis 5.5.1 rom running on my G950F.

I don't suspect to be a rom problem since with other kernels i don't have this problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] agustinwz:
This kernel with reno ice 13.0 has too much lag! With noxx kernel works fine!

Anyone else has this problem?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] kdrag0n:
Do you have any custom kernel settings?

Please open a Terminal app (such as Material Terminal) and type "logcollect", then press Enter. Use the phone for a bit, open some apps, then switch back to the terminal app and press enter. Send me the zip from internal storage.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] TioFalopa:
have you tried it on alexis rom 5.6.1? with the CRGH firmware?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] artaniss11k:
I am on alexis rom 5.5.1. I didn't update to 5.6.1 becauce there are no big changes and i was very pleased with this version.

Anyway back to my problem, with other kernels (i tested NX and TGP) i don't have problems with the camera.

I repeat my previous post, i can only take one shot. After that the camera doesn't record anything. If i close it and reopen it the screen is black so i have to restart my phone to get another shot.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] 5upon:
I had this issue too, with this kernel and recent builds of Solder9312's ROM. The cameraserver process hangs after a shot or two. Killing it or restarting the phone allows another shot to be taken. No problem with stock kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] TioFalopa:
same problem, but with the gcam does not happen :crying:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] kdrag0n:
I'm aware of the camera issue. It happens with any Samsung camera, but not GCam or other apps. Haven't been able to fix it so far but will keep trying. Thanks for the patience.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] artaniss11k:
Wonderful news. Thanks for letting us know and have us in mind for the future release.

Great kernel by the way. It will be the best when this isue will be solved.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] nearglen:
I could not find a response for this.i had been on the NX Kernal and Dex working without official dock but the touchpad on my HP Lapdock did not work. I just installed this Kernal, newest version and it is working perfectly. I have full functionality on my Lapdock. So I cannot confirm any HDMi adapter, but I can confirm direct USBC to USBC on the Lapdock is working.

Update: Only thing I am seeing that is missing, and would be an issue potentially if you were connecting to a TV as an android TV alternative is that the sound is not working. I cannot get any sound output, even the sound selection options that are normally there are not present. I had that on other Kernals and official dock, but this one it is missing completely. Let me know if anyone else figured sound out.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] xudahua123:
I think this is probably the best kernel I have ever used.

Thank you for your development

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] kdrag0n:
That was actually a kernel issue and has been fixed in r9.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] :
Just installed the kernel, ran into a bootloop. Any idea why? Was using GoogleWiz v88.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] rnexusv:

Is it fully compatible with G950F?

---------- Post added at 08:59 ---------- Previous post was at 08:45 ----------

Just tested for 10 min.

It is compatible with G950F and camera works very well.

So far so good, no bootloop, no fc or other bugs at the moment.

Gret job, thank you [MENTION=7291478]kdrag0n[/MENTION]

please can anyone explain what to do with this kernwel? for some bootloop, for other stuck in samsung logo, for others some problems and if anyone ask in which rom can we flash, noone answer.... can anyone insert in this thread the compatibility and possible risk of bootloop?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] artaniss11k:
Update your modem and bootloader with odin.

Download them from here:

https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=238184

The credit for upload and sharing goes to [MENTION=6377149]yash92duster[/MENTION] from ExyTeam.

Be sure you flash the kernel on a touchwiz rom and clear the dalvik and cache after flashing.

I have AlexisRom and no problems so far.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] kdrag0n:
Try uploading your bootloader and moden to CRI5 and CRI1 respectively with Renovate Ice's flashable zip.

Clearing cache and dalvik may help too.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] dmartuniac:
The kernel is great, but why the default gov is schedutil when the S8 doesn't support EAS?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] kdrag0n:
That's something I forgot to change. Interactive was faster in my tests.

Schedutil doesn't HAVE to be associated with EAS. The S8 effectively has non-EAS schedutil.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] rnexusv:

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] drew071:
Is there a guide anywhere on how to use Kali features in this kernel. Im new to it and would like to learn
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] bamsbamx:
Flashed over v82, which was flashed over stock CRI5 and Wifi is not working. Maybe should remove old binaries from flashable zip
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Anonymous710:
Which governor should I use for balanced battery and performance. Maybe a bit more performance than balanced.

And what are the features of anxiety I/O scheduler? I always used maple. How is it versus maple?

Now I'm using interactive and anxiety and it's so fast. But I think power consumption is increased than the other kernel I was using with schedutil and maple.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] kdrag0n:
Try a clean flash. Do you mean GoogleWiz v82? Old Wi-Fi fix has been removed in r7 or r8.

I'd suggest interactive. Schedutil seems to be slightly more battery biased.

Anxiety doesn't seperate asynchronous and synchronous requests because asynchronous ones are rarely seen. It prioritizes reads over writes just like Maple, but tends to starve writes more (this is tunable). It is based on noop with a basic first-in-first-out algorithm, whereas Maple is based on deadline with time tracking for expiration. This makes Anxiety better on battery than Maple, as well as fast. It prioritizes latency over throughput which means that requests happen quicker but transfer data slower.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] navaskp:
Leaving the governers for him I would say he has no facebook, whatsapp, twitter, or instagram, which are notorious for constantly caching and draining the battery. That's the setting I have tried and tested :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] comeon123:
Maybe with a black wallpaper doing nothing on your phone. But 9h SOT is absolutely unrealistic with normal use like browsing, youtube et al.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] artaniss11k:
[MENTION=4511195]navaskp[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4316576]comeon123[/MENTION]

I use facebook trough Samsung Browser, i don't use facebook's app and yes i don't use tweeter or instagram.

I use my device for browsing, photo, music on YouTube, watching movies a lot and sometimes playing demanding games.

I don't have dark theme nor dark wallpaper.

This is my SOT acording to my usage with my custom settings in MTweaks.

If you don't tune it a little bit yourselves you won't get your desired results.

With TGP kernel and NOX i didn't pass 8.30 hours of SOT.

By the way, what dou you use your devices for? Let me see your SOT and settings for the kernel.

Wait...your min freq for the m2 cores is 2.0 Mhz? Why?..
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] artaniss11k:
It's a mistake. It's 741mhz. Max is 2002mhz.

---------- Post added at 17:47 ---------- Previous post was at 17:44 ----------

Values are changing when the cores are demanded so while i took the screenshot they moved from 741 to 2002
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] navaskp:
What app is that you're using?

I normally get that kind of SOT while not being able to sleep until dawn, apparently tbats because of dimmed screen and good 4g reception.

about flashing twrp for A6plus both threads provide img or tar files to be flashed on the phone and guess what??? when you try to flash them you get the uspport dev_type .

NOTE the serial number on the post is for an A6 phone not an A6 PLus

so my question is, is there an official twrp image that can be flashed on this model ???
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] an-_-dro:
don't trust other site... for me it's better wait for a bit until here in xda or video from youtube. if only article and providing download link that's too dangerous.

TWRP

Device must be OEM_UNLOCKED first. If this device supports RMM then the RMM patch will need to be applied before booting to Android.

Picture upload on xda is broken now. will try it later or do you have something where to put them?
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] ashyx:
TWRP scales the resolution depending on what it detects from the framebuffer which is why we no longer need to use resolution flags. There are no longer set themes only portrait or landscape.

It seems the resolution has been correctly detected.

You can upload images below:

[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] nebkas:
and what is with the not working mount points? I tried to manually mount them, even edited the fstab like from original recovery, but didn't worked, still "invalid argument"

I never build a twrp by myself. But we could open a thred for it and I will support you do find the bugs etc.
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] ashyx:
The UI is really messed up.

The mount issues are because your data partition is encrypted.

Twrp cannot decrypt Samsung encrypted partitions. You need to FORMAT (not wipe) the data partition to be able to mount it.

However unless the fstab is patched it will re-encrypt at boot.
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] nebkas:
Alright, will make a backup of my data partition and try out more.
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] ashyx:
Hopefully this fixes the UI.

Perfect, thank you a lot.

I format the data partition and it worked, but after reeboot it doesnt work anymore as you said.

sd mount

mtp mode etc

---------- Post added at 02:23 ---------- Previous post was at 02:21 ----------

Noticed that scrolling and navigating is a tiny bit laggy now.
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] ashyx:
MTP is working according to the recovery log. MTP can sometimes be a bit finicky in recovery depending on device and PC.

If you're getting the USB device not recognised error try disabling then re-enabling MTP quickly in recovery or reboot the device into recovery with MTP enabled and cable attached.

Now that I know that recovery boots I'll put up a thread, so we can get any other issues ironed out.

I'll also put up a couple of patches to fix dm-verity and encryption.

However I would first try flashing Magisk immediately after formatting the device as Magisk has built in patches for dm-verity and encryption, but dont always work.

Scrolling and navigating is laggy in TWRP?
