ThundeRStormS "Galaxy S7/S7edge (SM-G930/935 F/FD) Oreo kernel"

Compatibility notes :

Oreo - Android 8.0.0 STOCK RELEASE odexed/deodexed and ported roms

S7 Stock Oreo ROMs - G930/G935 F/FD and S K W

'I don't use any ported rom so I can't check it'

This kernel is for stock rom odexed/deodexed and ported roms.

(If You want to install ported roms - pls uncheck Priv fix for stock Roms in installation process and select fix for deodexed and ported roms and look at Installation setion in OP)

Kernel looks to works stable on Ported and Deodexed Roms !!!

The kernel use an AROMA installer to help guide you through the installation.​

Recommended Apps:

To tweak most of the settings in the kernel, I recommend using Kernel Adiutor by Willi Ye or MTweaks by [MENTION=361302]morogoku[/MENTION] or Smartpack-Kernel Manager.
