Hey man I’ve been researching the best possible builds and what not for my note 5 i just acquired for gaming. I normally use my Sony xz1 but its size is just to disappointing and I’m enjoying the note(920w8). I understand your a very busy person clearly but im willing to give you a donation if you might go over a few quick things with me. Im talking probably 15 mins of your day at the most and probabaly not even but yeah if you might email me back. Clientale1235@gmail.com. to go over quickly what I’m wondering about and as well how i might donate your way. I’m sorry, I’m fairly new to posting and I’m probably not 100 % knowledgeable about everything but I’m no stranger to rooting, flashing roms till im blue in the face and frp unlocking/network unlocking. Please just delete this if you have no interest in helping. And sorry if i wasted your time. Basically I’m just wondering in your opinion what fw, rom, kernel, and or mods i should use on my 920w8. I don’t need an in depth guide to everything I am just looking for names and download links if possible to what you think my phone will be best with. Ty again for your time and all your work on your kernels.
Sorry to bother u, sir. I’ve found some abnormal things on my Note5 N920i (PL2 Stock Firmware & viper4android & xposed87.1 & default synapse settings). The music apps will behave strange and it’ll sizzle if I turn off the screen. If the screen is on and everything sounds normal. I’ve tried to set the frequency of A53 at 1500mhz and it sounds normal, too. This phenomenon only appears when I use wired headphone and bluetooth & DLNA works fine.
Please tell me how to fix this and it’s much nice of u to develop this nice kernel.
Have a read in Synapse ‘Multicore’ page and set Invisible CPUset to ‘All cores’. If still no good, try disable it and reboot. This option is also available to set default when you customise during Aroma installer
Reflashed the kernel with default setting and cleaned the cache. The sound still sizzles whenever the screen is on or off. And sometimes the phone freezes with the screeon on and music is stuck. No idea what is going wrong and still thanks a lot for the kernel
Hi! I’m the guy who wrote you an email about trying to find your site. Finally it turned up after doing quite a bit of clicking on XDA 🙂
I downloaded and installed the latest version (7.00) of Skyhigh on my Note 5 and, sure enough, it’s rock solid! You’re truly a genius. I hope you’ll continue your awesome work.
Glad you found the site. I actually sent another reply, but it’s still in the “sending”,. .. actually now “queued”…. looks like I need to wipe that Gmail account. Been like that for a couple days now.
You’re all welcome to distribute the link to this site as you see fit. Contrary to some “other” site, there is no fabrication and delusional arrogance of Comic book characters. Shall we pay ‘tribute’ to our superheros? Cryptic….
Hi all, it looks like those half-witted XDA Moderators with a single digit IQ level have taken it upon themselves to fabricate bedtimes stories and BAN me. . .
Having spent and SHARED for much of my time there, and particularly for many many variants that I do not own, apparently makes me “selfish”. A bunch of whiny pin dicks.
Excuse me for that Xtreme kernel dipstick stealing SkyHigh kernel v3.4 and passing it off as his own, and without a shed of credit to the actual builder (UpInTheAir). Excuse me for pointing out and insisting to the Mods that that klong viet ROM refused to provide source and was being supported by XDA in a “discussion” thread. And guess who was behind it all, KennyG123. He openly and privately supported this !
This Moderator and others refused to provide EVIDENCE and back up their statements posted within PMs and the forums. I have seen some of his posts are now conveniently edited after the fact ,. . . . He thinks people were born yesterday. He thinks I actually care. Not as much as he may expect. He thinks I don’t have a tonne more screenshots to back up my claims. He thinks wrong. I just expose a teaser of his idiocy, believe me there is plenty more that can further substantiate all of my claims and show his real mental capacity. . . .
I’m getting sleep of death on the kernel of N9208. I fixed it by Turning the Samsung SPCM Service from ‘Enabled’ to ‘Disabled’. I flashed it on a stock firmware and default settings. I’m on it for a few days already and it’s working very well. Thank you!
You’re right. I still had screen of death. I cleaned the data of synapse then restarted. I added more voltage to stabilize. I’ll wait for 3 days then I’ll give a feedback again if nothing happens. Thanks again!
Downloaded and installed v.7.1.0 – rock solid as usual.
May I ask – are your updates based on patching security flaws and/or other general improvements created by you, or do they also include stuff from any patches Samsung made to its stock kernel.
Thanks for telling me. Since I saw a bunch of legal jargon somewhere during the installation process, I didn’t bother to read the rest of it. Next time I’ll pay more attention.
You don’t post the change log here on your site, or is it just on the installer?
Thanks for your kernel! Would you like to add support n9208 taiwan? When i flash this kernel on n9208 taiwan, it say that cant patch ramdisk. But device still boots to homescreen and everything is ok. And do you have another way to donate you because paypal does not support donation from vietnam @@ that is strang because i can still buy many things by paypal.
Sorry. No. I support way too much already. All user risk for unsupported variant. I don’t know about other donate methods. I live in Thailand, so can be difficult for alternative.
Not to worry. I’m not. That’s what the spam button is for 🙂 I could just lock the whole thing down, wouldn’t matter if I did. The kernel is so fast and stable right now, and even better once I update to v7.3.0 sometime this week — Friday latest. Most likely last update for a while, unless urgent. Update includes a few new source merges, features I don’t bother to advertise and disable F2FS support 😉 All good.
Your SkyHigh kernel is godly for my Note 5!…getting massive savings on battery and super performance…
Only once I have encountered an issue where my device was totally stuck on the home screen when I tried to unlock the screen..
Don’t know what exactly it is, as I’m new to custom world…
My device model : SM-N920G
Firmware : N920GUBU3BPJ3
ROM : MMB29K.N920GDDU3BPJ3
Kernel: SkyHigh MM 7.2
Bootloader :
Synapse: Not installed
Tweaks and Apps: Xposed framework (wanam), BootManager, Flat Style Bar Indicators, MinMinGuard, XTouchWiz, Youtube Background Playback…
Other Root Apps: Liveboot app and SuperSU…
Other observations: ***Device restarted itself after boot.
Battery at the time of issue: 9%
Steps taken to resolve issue: Power button didn’t allow decice to shutdown so I tried volume down+home+power and device restarted…***after boot I kept it idle for 5 minutes and then the device restarts itself.
After that its working normally now.
Hope it helps..if more info required then I’m ready to help…
Well, I was planning to have v7.3.0 released, but I got busy with a lot of new source merges to respective branches. Then I built v7.4.0, but an underlying bug I thought I neutered it still persistent. Although maybe different one altogether. Unfortunately, this could take time to sort out. I’ve reverted to some older builds for a bit of medium-term testing . . .
which synapse network setting can i apply to get rid of wlan_rx_wake?
I installed a network log app and saw tons of packet sent from other devices in my network to my phone every few seconds or minutes which looke like this: “device ip:port (UDP/wlan0)”
Hi UITA, your Skyhigh 7.4.1 is awesome on N9208. I have never achieved better battery life than the one the current kernel provided compared to previous versions. Good Job!
Do you or any other dumb-ass believe that I actually care if I shut down all outside comments in the blogs ? Fuck no !! One of the reasons this site was created to prove a point to those thieving Kangland morons. And it’s more than served that. But not finished just yet !! Yes, some thieving morons and those that support such behavior will be exposed. 10 people or a 1000. Who really cares. Those that know me certainly know that !! Now go fuck off and STEAL someone else’s hard earned credit. You and your kind are just unimaginative code leeches I really don’t give a shit about. But this site is fun project and took very little effort to get off the ground. It’s mine. . . . . I do things because I can and don’t give a shit. I don’t have to answer to pipsqueaks like you and those Kangland “recognized” halfwits. Ha Ha.
Those thieving morons that think this is “beginners stuff”, yeah. what else do you expect. It’s a hobby you fucking idiot. People like you have never created one single line of original code, even hobbyist like me just laugh at you. Ha. You thieves are just a joke, not even worth the toilet paper to wipe my ass. That’s why you desperate fucks have always stolen others work and passed it off as your own. That’s all you’re good at. And you are still too thick to comprehend the legalities of GPLv2 ? Maybe you are that “dumb-ass”?
Here is a reminder and SkyHigh policy in simple terms for simpletons. . .
GPLv2 COMPLIANT SOURCE :
Does dumb-ass (aka KennyG123) actually comprehend GPLv2 compliance? Fuck no !!
My builds are released within the legal framework of the GPLv2 License. SkyHigh kernels sources are released in archive format (same as majority from O.E.M.), and will incur a DISTRIBUTION FEE.
This is perfectly legal and referenced within the source ‘COPYING‘ file ;
“You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.”
The DISTRIBUTION FEE will be determined on a per-application basis and fully paid in advance. If you don’t like that, then take it up with the license.
Having support for 17x variants is quite time consuming, taking up 1000’s of hours of my own personal time. The majority understand and appreciate this, for which I am grateful. Just remember, nothing is “free” . . . . . credit and my hard work should not be STOLEN !!
And yes, I do sleep very well at night. Thanks you very much for asking, dipshit.
As i ve been on the end of both sticks, being kanged and kanged like crazy and being called for it after the devs actually started bashing me like mad for porting their mods form their cm based to touchwiz as it had been requested sooo many times byusers. After being ignored by them devs i took their shit diffed it with cm and ported it myself to touchwiz. they almost go tthe boot for being disrepectfull, actually little did I knew back then, that mod actually made first page of XDA. after a few more release they had still not published any of their source so i went and published what I had on a known gerrit, this actually gave birth to a big rom that had nothing to do with me. sure I get where some guys come from getting mad, and I dont know the whole story since ive been inactive for a few years, the whole idea is to grow as a community and some ppl tend to want more respect then they actually deserve for their hobby. Not saying its your case but you know sometimes respect and patience goes a long way.
Again I do not know 10% of your story just thaught id share this here since i stumbled on it looking for a decent kernel for my note5. Great job btw.
Exynos7420 Development is stifled at Kangland, and that was the original intention of the site. Not a playground for overbearing childish dipstick M00derators that most have’t even “developed” or shared anything this century . . . They then preach to those that spent probably 10,000 hours to contribute and share their hobby with others. Most appreciate that, but as always, a few trolls are never happy (which I couldn’t care less about). That’s why I “left”. I knew a ban was coming, and didn’t give a toss. Sick of tired having to put up this total fabrication of lies, hypocrisy and support of those that don’t actually “contribute” but steal not only credit, but intellectual property. That is not collaboration, nor ethical. SO fuck them. They actually had nothing on me, so just made shit up. I demanded that they provide evidence of present and past instances of non-compliance. That evidence was never put forward. I reported them for harassment (which I knew was futile), but was fun anyway. They illegally messed with my signature links and I reported the hacking. Someone (KennyG123) had messed with it back in May, and I was given a 1 month ban for something I didn’t do. I accused another, but am now certain it was him. He did make a public apology (called it a “sever glitch” in PM) . . .. No co-incidence. All this BS really started when I was a “Recognized spoon-feeder” (aka Recognized Contributor) at Kangland. I don’t think they ever got over the way I handed it back to them. Judge Judy and the lot. A bunch of drama queens actually.
There are some that think I’m stuck here in the “abyss”. Far from the truth. I’m happy just doing my thing. Not concerned with fame and lining pockets as some there have you believe. That’s why I created this blog BEFORE I left. I can do what I wish. No pandering. Fuck all. I can shut it down, and couldn’t care less. Why would I want to be part of that “community”?
“RESPECT” and credibility is earned mate, not STOLEN or FABRICATED. You don’t gain anything by stealing others credibility and property rights and support such behaviour. That does not encourage collaboration, but certainly does make that “community” much poorer for it.
My “Name and Shame” blog will be populated this month. I’ve got some screenshots and dialogue to link up. Not a priority of mine, and BS never is. It’s just a little bit of fun to exposed part to the truth and moronic attitude of some that pretend they are there to “help” other than inflate egos that don’t match the size of there pecker . . . :))
for last few weeks ive been lurking and I did notice the lack of dev over there everything seems to be spread out accross the web atm its the only thing i feel sad really. I completely get where you comoing from, and glad you took the time to answer.
Thanks alot for all your efforts in making this Kernel , I have a note 5 and I play a game called Dominations alot, it lags too too much , hopefully in your next update you boost the gpu on this Kernel .
Thanks in advance
1. Use latest stock ROM (BEST), not laggy UX port BS.
2. Use kernel defaults
3. Use Synapse….. to try a few things
4. Remove any user or ROM BS “tweaks”
I haven’t any issue playing real racing or subway surfers. Smooth as ….
After that the installation froze up, stuck at 65%. I waited for about 10 minutes and nothing happened. Assuming something had gone wrong, I pressed and held the power button for a few seconds. TWRP returned and prompted me to reboot. When I did, the phone booted normally and when I checked, version 7.50 was installed. The phone is up and running, working perfectly.
What do you suppose might could happened? I’ve installed many of your previous versions and there’s never been a problem. Be that as it may, take pride in the fact that even when your kernels hit a snag, in the end they still work!
Exactly right. I did a site search for Aroma and found out what happened. Honestly since everything worked so well since I’ve been using your stuff, it never occured to me that there was a bug hiding someplace. Thanks for bring it to my attention, if it happens again I’ll know what to do.
Working on a MM kernel for my old Samsung Galaxy Tab S T705 . Will probably be a lighter version than earlier days. Almost 1.5 years since my last release. Just updating Linux mainstream. Much to do, but is booting and SELinux permissive. Won’t be getting too carried away though. 😎
Thanks for the new release, in the last two version my N920G experiments some randoms shutdowns and i have to push vol down + power button in order to turn on the phone also the private mode is not working, the phone have a stock rom 6.0.1 and any extra config in synapse i will flash this new version hoping that the problem is solved
i am developer too and i also share some tools for free because i like to help others, the work you do is really great and i know how much time and efforts requires a project and so much one like this, so really thanks for share al this with us!!
You haven’t really given any information to work with. There is a troubleshooting guide you must follow. Please provide as requested. Too much guessing. Rock solid on my N920C with N920CXXS3BPL7 firmware base with kernel defaults. Perhaps you need a firmware update. If you don’t have available, then nothing I can do …. use older SkyHigh. But as I said,….. too much guessing. You should know private mode has nothing to do with the kernel. Google it. Patch your ROM.
Hi! I installed the v7.6 on my Note 5. This time the installation was clean as a whistle with no freeze-ups. Murphy’s Law in action – disasters happen only when you do not know what the problem is and/or are ill-prepared to deal with them.
Did you fix (or tweak) the Aroma installation bug or do these freeze-ups occur purely at random? Just curious…
I don’t think you get it. It’s an Aroma binary issue. Nothing I can do about it other than revert to a laggy older version. If the user fails to read the pop-up or the site “bugs” section, can’t do anything about that either.
Don’t worry about it with my kernels.I generally use an incompatible ramdisk compression algorithm (faster), which means I pre-patch the ramdisk with super su. I use the Chainfire script to patch the ROM side. Out of respect, I don’t touch his script . . . .
Hi i flash the last version yesterday, but the problem of the random shutdowns persist i took like 24 hours approximately until i flash the new version
Model:N920G
Firmware:N920GUBS3BPK1
Rom: 6.0.1 stock rom
Kernel: 3.10.104-SkyHigh_MM_V7.6.0
Modem:N920GUBU3BPL2
BootLoader:N920GUBS3BPK1
Synapse: default settings
no tweaks or Xposed installed
i have like a two months of have mi note 5, i installed your kernel since version 7.2.0 and always have this issue sometimes more than one in a day other times one time in two o days, is a really great kernel, while i was writing this have this issue but even when the buttons no response i can still see the phone in the adb devices in console, perhaps is not complete shutdown and just is sleep, after i push twice the home buttons the device wake up when launch the camera, some times in the version 7.2.0 i notice when i use the vpn the phone hangs more, the vpn is from hamachi no thirds app installed
yes VPN with data enabled, im not tryng WIFI + VPN yet, in one ocasion i have 4 shutdowns/sleeps in less than 2 hours and i was monitoring with SSH a linux server over the vpn
however the shutdowns/sleeps happens even when i not using or i used the VPN, there is any sugestion?, i will try to not use the vpn it all and see if the problem is directly related to this
I ran into same issue , stretched thin on time so kindly share any progress please as will I , since every nanosecond of my internet usage relies on one way or another,
Hi, i test the device without connecting to the VPN and i still get shutdowns/sleeps, there any suggestion for this issue, perhaps im missing a configuration or something like that
As you know, I don’t have your variant to test and debug effectively. If you have an issue / bug that I am not able to replicate (and it bothers you), I would suggest for you to use another kernel. I am currently testing, but may or may not be suitable in your case. Will be up to you to find out. I’m busy with another device right now, so not sure when finished. Early reports are that I have not had any reboot using data + VPN since, except when I stuck it through an airport X-ray !! Fuck knows . . .
Hello, Just wanted to say thanks for your work. The Note5 development (as well as others) seems to have greatly diminished so your contributions are certainly appreciated. I’m a bit of a noob when it comes to kernels. I’m running stock, rooted 6.0.1 with Magisk and phh SU. I’d like to try and get Android Pay working (hince Magisk) and need a custom kernel. Noticed yours states it automatically uses autoroot. Will this replace my current root? Is there a way to install the kernel without replacing my current root?
Thanks for the quick response. I’m only using it in attempt to use AP while rooted. From what I can tell your kernel is one of the best around so it caught my attention. Has anyone tested it with said environment? I have no problems donating to the cause with time and $. Completely understand the devotion it takes to uphold such a project on this kind of scale
N9200_HK variant : I’ve merged in your UX N9200ZHU3CPL2 source & ramdisk base. I will upload a experimental version for you to test if there is demand, but will require feedback if it is working as it should. Please test only on stock N9200ZHU3CPL2 base firmware installed.
Let me know if you wish to test it, otherwise that is he end of support !
It should work as N920T kernel is built on your specific variant firmware. These builds, I haven’t merged in other sources due to conflicting bas firnware fir way too many variant suppport. So if you are using 100% stock that matches what I have released, then I don’t know. Need feedback from others with same setup.
Hey UitA, dude I’m a huge fan of your work and also want to say personally I reached all of the same conclusions that you have after looking on XDA and seeing the whole back n forth between you all I found myself asking, “Wait where and who exactly are these guys even claiming UitA stole from?” So I started trying to track down where you were dropping your newest changes at and here I am!
I hate TouchWiz but your kernel is the absolute top dog for optimization for our devices, and since this isnt XDA, I just wanna say you dedicate alot of time and valued consideration to help users make shit work RIGHT, and some (Arter97 particularly) don’t give a f*ck and will purposely mislead (then laugh at) you if you’re a noob. And the way you integrated synapse into it all makes it possible for people to LEARN from it, anyway im rambling bro great job great kernel.
Also saw you had a hand in Mynogen (Rainbow_Dash) putting CM13 on as well, not sure where exactly but good to know you’re playing with AOSP possibilities as well :).
Don’t know what or who you refer to about “stole from”… There are many at Kangland that have stolen intellicual property (copyrighted materal) from me. That’s a FACT. They have stolen my Synpase, ramdisk and installer implemenation. Even removed the legal licence !! Now,
kangland dipshit M00derators support this, and also support fabrication of lies to support unethical practices. They turned the Note5 forums into a “war-zone”. It’s all on them and their childish games. Fuck them. If someone has something to say, well provide the eveidence. There is none on me.
On the other hand, there is a “developer” of “Xtreme” kernel who I reported for stealing my credit. He Stole SkyHigh kerbnel v3.4, changed the kernel version name and passed it off as his own. Whilst open-source, he refused to acknowledge credit of the source import from SkyHigh. M00derator Malybru actioned the report, by was still an open case after ONE month at the time I left. I provided an open-shut case and with a step by step method of proof with access to my git repo. This Xtreme dipshit had previously trolled my N920C thread whishing to compile SkyHigh but changing the kernel verion string (re-badge it). He then changed his Kangland user name and opened a thread at Samsung Vietnam, followed by Kangland . . . . There are other theives too : The Sickness, Tkkg1994, Voltaqe etc etc
I wasn’t really “banned”, I actually left, hence this site was created BEFORE that time. It has served a purpose . . . . Those Kanglang M00derators were hasling me over kernel source and even threatening actions dues to “previous” source non-complioance. What a load of wank. I demaded they provide the EVIDENCE and to stop the harassment. They never did. KennyG123 even edited his public posts to try cover his tracks from what was said and timeline. I made an official report on the whole thing, but of course I knew it would go unanswered. Those same faceless and cowardly people are the ones that govern themselves. Rules for some ae not for others. A hypocritical and corrupt system. BUT, I don’t care anymore. haven’t for a long time. They couldn’t provide EVIDENCE, so they just fabricate lies and BS in public forum and PMs. I have links to a couple screenshots in a earlier post. It shows their “reasoning” behind the ban. . . . There is nothing. They are just full of waffle. Years and 10,000 hours contributing must be “selfish” and not what they expect at XDA. Supported theives and this collabortaion in support of that is unethical, something I won’t be a part of.
I could go on and on, but fuck it. I’ll add this shit to my name and shame page soon
enough . . . .
Although he did have a hand in them, Rainbow Dash was never the real (main) creator of
those ROMs. It was a friend. Anyway, I don’t support any CM ROMs, and anything I’d done in the past was just a favour. . . .
Just be aware, I do intend to be culling the level of support. Some users will have to
visit Kangland and flash stolen and unoriginal shit. That’s what that once great site has turned into.. . .
Its another giant flame war with some very talented folks, actually its a pretty funny easter egg when I flashed on this last build that was the first time I had noticed the thanks added in to you. And no joke these CM builds are making me tolerate this device since there is basically nobody developing SHIT other than you much anymore, all I’ve ever seen in XDA was potential, and sadly Android seems to be becoming a “Point & Click” type of place…… Idk bro these things are the same as a Meizu Pro5 when you look at it from a spec level, they’re capable of Ubuntu Touch, the mods pick and choose which kernels you use, which framework is allowed apparently, its really sad, it’s exactly what keeps me from learning Java or going past what I know now, because I know how it really is.
Quote “There are other theives too : The Sickness, Tkkg1994, Voltaqe etc etc”
I think this tells me how some of your source came into CM kernels now, jst still not sure what’s stolen lol, my goal was to stabilize this kernel somewhat to start trying to fix the OpenGL issues, but it’s a shit show trying to track all the commits >.<
You probably misunderstood an earlier reply. As a favour, I only built a few test versions of SkyHigh kernel for a friends private group CM ROM. My kernel was never officially packaged with it and was available only within a private group. I don’t actually like CM, but do support those that attempt to show creativity and originality etc. I am no longer involved with any non stock TW ROM.
I’ve just gone through some of my old folder’s and pulled out a few screenshots. I still need to add them to name and shame. Those recognised thieves I don’t believe have anything to do with CM.
Ahhh I see well that is good to know as Im currently back on touchwiz attempting to troubleshoot all of the power issues within CM, and tbh I am not a fan either, would rather have stock AOSP :/, touchwiz isnt terrible but CM is alot closer to AOSP than TW, + all of the proprietary symlinks are ridiculous (samsung keyboard>Battery saver mode?) Lol like nevermind about my user apps then -.-.
AT&T Firmware updates only allow the same or next version of firmware to be flashed. Is there anyway to trick it to allow me to downgrade to 5.11? I’m at firmware: N920AUCS4CPK1 but I want to be at firmware: N920AUCU2APB2
(If that is correct to do, i.e. will work with my modem)
I know there are processes for unpacking the firmware, editing build.prop and then repacking the firmware. What about editing the firmware name so it tricks the bootloader into allowing me to odin flash? It doesn’t give me kernel access but that downgrade would make my phone a world better. For how I use my phone MM kills my battery in short order.
I’m going to pay off my AT&T Note 5 then unlock it and move to another carrier, I think T-Mobile. Whichever is easiest to root on Marshmallow 6.01 Nov sec patch. I like this phone but I can’t handle not being able to install what I want.
I think you’d have better luck and also more appropriate to post somewhere where you’d have potential to gain help. This is a SkyHigh kernel blog and does not support anything AT&T related. Good luck.
NOTICE: In addition to all G928*, support is also discontinued for N9200 & N920P variants. I have higher priority in my life, and I’m not sorry for that. Hope you enjoyed the ride !
GPU is fine and already options available is user desires to “tweak”.
Android MM memory management works fine with stock ROM and defaults provided by SkyHigh. If you are having issues, then suggest to stick with stock ROM and remove any bullshit placebo and interfering ROM “tweaks” and scripts provided by Kangland “Recognised spoon-feeders”. The majority have no clue and just fuck things up. If you want to mess up memory management, there is also a whole section on that in Synapse . . . . .
This update might be the best so far man! Hotplugging works well LMK on stock was great too, and he is right btw, most of the ROM devs have no idea what they are doing, even from a remotely dull perspective of view these guys don’t remove too much, mostly just throw ALL the LIBs together + base and then allow u to decide if some apps make it on or not to save a little space (not much) and pretty sure UitA will agree 99% of the UX and note7 AOD ports are just not worth the fucking trouble!
Only use shit distrubuted by this guy, arter97 (hate to say that), MisterJunkey, or Samsung….. These phones are the most complicated setup I’ve encountered thus far, and I remember when this line still had dev love :).
Great job dude seriously you’re the last pioneer that isn’t a douche or moving on.
Well. I’m hoping the next will be better. There’s always improvements in both kernel and ramdisk. Was on the verge of a release, but still trying to resolve an ongoing bug : mobile data + VPN + deep sleep may cause random reboot or SoD. I’m currently back on SkyHigh v6.2.0 for testing !! The issue has at times taken anywhere from 0.5 hours to a couple days before anything turned up. I do not have any issue using WiFi + VPN + deep sleep.
Most of those “tweaks” are unoptimized and generic. Many for LL ICS or earlier. Some not appropriate for device either. But they “know best”….. SMH. I implement a few efficiency / performance patches and let Sammy do the rest. My Synapse is about options, so user can fiddle with that (if they know better) 🙂
That’s just someone that had redistributed my kernel without permission whilst I was unjustly banned May last year. Apparently, it turned out to be a “sever glitch” that was responsible for the one month “holiday”. It was due to apparently me “re-adding” a screenshot link to my signature that caused me to get a previous one week ban. It showed evidence to contradiction and moronic attitude of the acting Moderator, jcase. What a dick! I never “re-added” anything and server records would prove that. A public apology was made in my threads about the unjustified ban by KennyG123……
Funny thing is that the days just prior to my permanent ban, my signature was once again hacked and modified without notice or consent. I reported that and also the person believed responsible….. KennyG123.
Jesus bro, so you’re literally getting it from all ends :/. I feel like there’s no other real alternative to XDA either, if you got a G+ or way to speak in private dude I’d definitely love to pick ur brain about these devices maybe get some input on what direction an aspiring dev can take in general.
There’s plenty of info out there. Not just at Kangland. Best advice is to read and research and plenty of trial and error. Don’t use a “shotgun” approach, ….. more != better. I don’t spoon feed anyone, I returned my Kangland “Recognised Spoon-feeder” title long ago. I just don’t have time for it. I wish to make more time for my own personal commitment rather than some cyber tweaks and BS that is only meant for a bit of fun.
Thank you for the input! Usually I don’t take on advice regarding actual under the hood C level business from anybody over there. If I can’t trust the final product why would I want to build it myself? LOL.
And I couldn’t agree more bro the whole modding world has gotten too extreme for hobbyists and light end-users, I’m only 20 though and don’t live far from Google HQ so that has always kinda been a dream haha :D. Thanks again for the advice, went and picked up some sammy sources to learn about the kernel some more.
Lately I have not used vpn since im migrating my server to esxi, but tell me what kind of de-bugging test would like to do, by the way even when i not use vpn i keep getting the shutdowns/sleeps some times once a day or some time once in two days
The “I’m still waiting on source release for “_A_”, so would not suggest that just yet. I haven’t flashed it on my own N920C yet. I’m in no hurry, so I’ll wait for source to attempt match firmwares as best I can.
Might release an update tomorrow. See how things go. New source, ramdisk, toolchain and some other “stuff”. Still waiting on newer source for N920T and N9208 afraid.
Is the injected root you’ve provided with this kernel replaceable? As in can I flash your kernel, unroot, and then root using a different method? SM-N920T stock 6.0.1
NOTICE: The last release dated [2017-02-07] is final for N920T/W8.
This means development for N920T & N920W8 variants are discontinued (E.O.L.). I don’t have the motivation for further support anymore and wish more free personal time.
I’m sure you’ll find a nice basic and crappy knockoff over in kangland. Thanks for joining me on this ride, good luck !!
Sir, I’ve just tried your suggestions but it seems not to be working and the sound does sizzle when the screen is on (My apology). And my phone easily freezes and reboots if I play the music in the background and do other stuff like using chrome. Maybe it’s my phone that is going to break down?
Thanks again to take your time ๑><๑
I don’t have any issue using kernel + stock TW firmware for my device. I don’t use any V4A as sound has already been tweaked. I don’t use Xposed either. I really suggest you update to the latest firmware too.
Sir, after flash the new firmware(delete the pit file in it and repack or it won’t work) and I’ve found that it is the kernel to cause the sound problem (Only flash the kernel except XPOSED and Viper4android). And what should I do, such as uploading the log or something?
Thanks again to take your time
Actually I did. I flashed the QA3 using odin v3.12.7 without installing the kernel and try, the sound behaved normal. And then I flashed the twrp3 and flashed the kernel with default setting instead of the customize one and no synapse app installed, the sound sizzled. Maybe there is some difference between the firmwares between N920C and N920I.
Then I tried to flash system.img of N920C but failed.
Maybe a full wipe install and then test. Nothing else. Other than that, I don’t have your variant and no issue. If your issue persist, then advise to use stock rooted kernel.
I did full wipe before updating QA3. Then I also tried the stock QA3 and rooted it with magsik. This time I installed viper4android and xposed. The sound works fine
I didn’t try the combination of skyhigh and magisk.When I installed skyhigh kernel, everything else remained untouched. Since it didn’t sound normal, I full wiped my phone and installed the QA3 firmware and magisk and viper and xposed. And the sound worked well but deep sleep was not fuctioned and the battery drained a lot. T O T
As I said, you’ll have to then look at a different kernel elsewhere. I don’t have your device. I’m scaling right back on what I support. There is no incentive and inclination to continue. I just don’t want to blind debug anymore. Next release will be be N920C-CD only. All other are discontinued. Too many years doing this.
Hello, sir. I think it’s the supersu that causes the issue. I just full wiped and reflash the QA3 as you had told me, and I then flashed the supersu only and the sound sizzled again
Sir, I was so angry about the sizzling that I just threw my phone to my bed. Guess what? ALL THINGS WORK WELL! This must be the wierdest thing ever! Hope u continue to support N920G & N920I.
Apologize for my own mistake
I do follow the guide. In order to find out which caused this I wiped and reflashed my phone more than 3 times last night. I tried stock + skyhigh group, stock + magisk + viper + xposed group, stock + skyhigh + viper + xposed group and stock + skyhigh + viper group.
Sorry for reply to 6.9.0, I used the newest one and encountered this. Acutally I haven’t used the wired headphone for a long time. Last time this appeared I’m on v6.6.0 and the following version. I haven’t regonized because I used bluetooth more often.
I go to the network every day to see if there is no update
You have stopped,
Can finally do a ux rom kernel What?
Although I do not speak English
But i’m around with people who really like your kernel has been waiting for you to update every day
Thanks for the new release!!, still getting the shutdown/sleep problem im no try yet the VPN because some issues with my ISP and for that reason to im not been able to flash the L type firmware, when i flash the new firmware i will come back with new feedback
Working on a release with Aroma option to install either Magisk or SuperSU root. A LOT of work to try make Synapse fully compatible with Magisk, BUT unfortunately some features will not work due to required busybox. Really a total revamp of Aroma as well so make things “seamless” as possible.
I DO NOT intend to update N9208_SEA any further, so left with the remaining N920C* variants . . . . I also intend to cease further development of those variants in the very near future. The next might be the last for public consumption.
thanks for the heads up, bro. its sad to hear about EOL for N9208 :(. thanks for the kernels you have provided. its been an enjoyable ride. Hoping to find your work out there for future devices…
thanks again!
Will the new Magisk compatible version be based on the newest available firmware? “N920C* variants” does this include the N920T? As far as know you’re one of three devs still keeping the platform alive, thank you.
Well that’s unfortunate. You don’t see many kernels made that support the new systemless methods especially for the N920T. As far as I know the T only has 4 custom kernels (including yours) and besides yours they are mostly outdated. Got a little excited by the thought of some fresh developing. But I understand there’s huge amounts of time and effort that one must allocate for such projects. Thanks again for your contributions.
Maybe contact KennyG123 and his henchmen and request them to spend 1000’s (if not 10x that) on “development” rather than turning those forums into a thieving kang fest and supporting it through lies and manipulation. . . . Yeah, I’m serious. Those idiots have no idea, especially when it comes to blind building, they’d be totally lost on their own. Useless, actually. Just take a look at the “Xtreme” dipshit and “sickness” cough cough cough choke choke choke “recognized developer”……… WTF has he actually “developed”? That’s just the tip of the iceberg. . . .
I just don’t want to do this shit much longer. I have better things to do with my time which is much appreciated in the “real” world where it benefits me and my family. And that’s way more important than some hobby will ever be. Actually, this hobby has no importance what-so-ever that’s why I haven’t gotten around to populating the name-and-shame blog yet. Those thieves are lower than the dog shit I stepped on yesterday, wouldn’t even bother to wipe it off. . .
Been trying to “perfect” the changes to the next an most likely final release. Nearly there….
A friend of mine passed on a message to a couple (I think “unbiased”) XDA Moderators, asking if they would like me to make available to those members my git repos (full commits and original authorship) for both kernel source, ramdisk and build environment. So far they haven’t replied, so whether they just ignore it or still deliberating, I don’t know. It’s no bother. Many Mods there are happy to support stealing of intellectual property and credit (KennyG123, Darth). The same (looking at their profiles) have’t actually done much (or any) developing themselves, nor anything with originality. It’s an inbred culture. I do know that my work would have benefit for many there to study. But I’m not just going to open my repos though without a little in return. ………
So, I could help out those kangers and thieves, or let them meander on into the abyss. Totally up to them whether they want to actually help or hinder their own members. The offer is not on the table for very long. I’m changing my licensing (right now), but may have to revert for the final release and leave it at that . . .
The only major bug (mobile data + VPN + deep sleep) will remain unresolved. I have an idea, and simple “fix” which may require a compromise I’m not willing to do.
1. I believe that most are on the leaked buggy Android N ROM anyway.
2. That “recognized PoS” Tkkg1994@XDA would just steal my work. He’s a real PoS !! He BEG me to use my work, but I refused. So this talent-less thief STEALS my Copyright (c) material, strips authorship, reproduces it WITHOUT PERMISSION as THE ORIGINAL AUTHOR !! What a grubby shithead !!
This is the sort of shit-stain that Kangland dishes “recognized” titles to……….. They can go fuck right off. So, my latest fixes remain with me (for now).
But, I’ll be distributing my source and build scripts to just a couple of friends. I know one that loves his Linux and built a few kernels for it. Just a shame that I’ve never had the time for that !! Doubt there would be much difference though, Android is derived from Linux.
Well. I might be the first to compile a “custom” N920C kernel from the official N920C source. Working nice !! A tonne to do though MM > NN. Still debating whether to share or keep private. Or even re-create my Telegram group. N920C and compatible variant only. IDK
Hello, good day, Please have a problem with a note 5 of T-Mobile SM-N920T
The phone is with the original firmware 5.1.1 and the original recovery, however the Kernel is modified with the Kernel SkyHigh v2.5, when doing the hard reset from Settings it results that the computer restarts and enters the recovery but soon me Gives at the bottom a message that says:
“dm-verity verification failed”
Restart and obviously not reset anything and I continue with my normal system, I do not want to reset with the key combination as it could completely damage the firmware ..
Because reason would have changed only the kernel ..? The imei in settings is equal to the casing on the phone, everything works perfectly but I fear that I happen to problems that I read in other forums that I have no imei or permanent bootloop …!
However I need to upgrade to 6.1.1 and install some of the ModRoms and recoverys that are available.
Please what is it that I should do with this my situation in this problem ..?
Please UpInTheAir..! Buy a note 5 and it came with your kernel ..! Which is what I must do to be able to solve my problem explained above .. is version of kernel 2.5 and is in android 5.1.1 Model N920T ..! Give me a few minutes to understand what I should do …! The phone works correctly I just can not reset from settings it gives me the message DM-Verity Failed and I am afraid to damage the software if I install a recovery or another kernel ..!
For your time and generous attention thank you very much..!!
I’ve already mentioned on multiple occasions that I do not “develop” in anymore in any way, shape or form. As per my last commit and release to public repo (GIFT), please contact KennyG123 or one of his PoS cronies for assistance. I’m serious on this !! I use STOCK, and enjoying the time I’d rather devote to my family than those ingrates.
Please read that commit in full. It has all you need. Please respect this. Thx
I understand your frustration with Kangland and it makes perfect sense not to “develop” kernels for custom ROM’s on there. I refer to Nougat STOCK ROMS available for download on Sammobile, i.e., nothing to do with Kangland. Any chance that maybe — just maybe — that some day you might port your Skyhigh ROM to the Nougat stock ROM on there?
You still don’t get it. I currently DO NOT DEVELOP in any way, shape, or form. Go bother dipshit KennyG123 and other peckerheads that steal. They made the Note 5 forums a steaming pile of shit. It’s up to them and unfortunately decent members to lie in that filth and deal with selfish consequences brought upon themselves.
I was “banned” from there because my years of heavy contributions and originality brought to the various forums was not supported by idiot childish mods, rather they supported PROVEN thieves (check “name and shame” blog) and lie (defame) in various posts and PM’s. That is something I refused to be associated with, hence I actually “left” before the ban took place. The ban was just a face saving exercise to try protect their weak image. You can’t force respect, they forget they need to earn it !!
APART FROM MY REQUEST: I seriously think that what khang and other who supported him are seriously worth nothing…I certainly feel it was not right in any sense of what you experienced over theft on your hard work…!
It’s morons like KennyG123 and a few of his cronies, aka garth, Judge Judy, the moronivan, strike the dork, malybru etc etc that you should approach with your request. That dipshit Kenny is the one ULTIMATE responsible for turning Kangland Note 5 and Edge Plus forums into a nuclear wasteland. His deceit and supported unethical practices is something I need not have any association with.
I actually merged in Nougat sources for a private build for my N920C at start of month. Full Synapse. Full everything. All up-to-date with my last (best) unreleased Marshmallow release. Did it. DELETED it. Took a few days, but not rocket science either. None is committed to any repo. I might add link to screenshot at some time. I’m now back on 100% unrooted STOCK !!. Better that than Ketan’s B.S. placebo filled “pro” ROM. Those interfering kernel “tweaks”, what a load of crock! May I ask why on earth his free EFS app connects to a network for? What data collection (if any)? BTW, the Kangland site also uses a number of methods to track and identify you canvas fingerprinting data is just one of many. Begs the question, what other data they collect and for what purpose????
I have a personal setup ….. the only way I can be identified is :
1. If I chose to (can’t be bothered with secure measures)
2. Government / intelligence agency.
The main thing is not only using secure / trusted / encrypted VPN, BUT also prevent browsers leaks via scripts, cookies, flash, DNS etc
browserleaks.com is a great way to test. Great site I’ve used for a couple years.

Not just because we no longer may enjoy any further updates to your amazing feats of coding, but what happened with the shitheads at XDA plagiarizing your work.

Excuse me for that Xtreme kernel dipstick stealing SkyHigh kernel v3.4 and passing it off as his own, and without a shed of credit to the actual builder (UpInTheAir). Excuse me for pointing out and insisting to the Mods that that klong viet ROM refused to provide source and was being supported by XDA in a “discussion” thread. And guess who was behind it all, KennyG123. He openly and privately supported this !
This Moderator and others refused to provide EVIDENCE and back up their statements posted within PMs and the forums. I have seen some of his posts are now conveniently edited after the fact ,. . . . He thinks people were born yesterday. He thinks I actually care. Not as much as he may expect. He thinks I don’t have a tonne more screenshots to back up my claims. He thinks wrong.

Only once I have encountered an issue where my device was totally stuck on the home screen when I tried to unlock the screen..
Don’t know what exactly it is, as I’m new to custom world…
My device model : SM-N920G
Firmware : N920GUBU3BPJ3
ROM : MMB29K.N920GDDU3BPJ3
Kernel: SkyHigh MM 7.2
Bootloader :
Synapse: Not installed
Tweaks and Apps: Xposed framework (wanam), BootManager, Flat Style Bar Indicators, MinMinGuard, XTouchWiz, Youtube Background Playback…
Other Root Apps: Liveboot app and SuperSU…
Other observations: ***Device restarted itself after boot.
Battery at the time of issue: 9%
Steps taken to resolve issue: Power button didn’t allow decice to shutdown so I tried volume down+home+power and device restarted…***after boot I kept it idle for 5 minutes and then the device restarts itself.
After that its working normally now.
Hope it helps..if more info required then I’m ready to help…

As i ve been on the end of both sticks, being kanged and kanged like crazy and being called for it after the devs actually started bashing me like mad for porting their mods form their cm based to touchwiz as it had been requested sooo many times byusers. After being ignored by them devs i took their shit diffed it with cm and ported it myself to touchwiz. they almost go tthe boot for being disrepectfull, actually little did I knew back then, that mod actually made first page of XDA. after a few more release they had still not published any of their source so i went and published what I had on a known gerrit, this actually gave birth to a big rom that had nothing to do with me. sure I get where some guys come from getting mad, and I dont know the whole story since ive been inactive for a few years, the whole idea is to grow as a community and some ppl tend to want more respect then they actually deserve for their hobby. Not saying its your case but you know sometimes respect and patience goes a long way.
Again I do not know 10% of your story just thaught id share this here since i stumbled on it looking for a decent kernel for my note5. Great job btw.

Exynos7420 Development is stifled at Kangland, and that was the original intention of the site. Not a playground for overbearing childish dipstick M00derators that most have’t even “developed” or shared anything this century . . . They then preach to those that spent probably 10,000 hours to contribute and share their hobby with others. Most appreciate that, but as always, a few trolls are never happy (which I couldn’t care less about). That’s why I “left”. I knew a ban was coming, and didn’t give a toss. Sick of tired having to put up this total fabrication of lies, hypocrisy and support of those that don’t actually “contribute” but steal not only credit, but intellectual property. That is not collaboration, nor ethical. SO fuck them. They actually had nothing on me, so just made shit up. I demanded that they provide evidence of present and past instances of non-compliance. That evidence was never put forward. I reported them for harassment (which I knew was futile), but was fun anyway. They illegally messed with my signature links and I reported the hacking. Someone (KennyG123) had messed with it back in May, and I was given a 1 month ban for something I didn’t do. I accused another, but am now certain it was him. He did make a public apology (called it a “sever glitch” in PM) . . .. No co-incidence. All this BS really started when I was a “Recognized spoon-feeder” (aka Recognized Contributor) at Kangland. I don’t think they ever got over the way I handed it back to them. Judge Judy and the lot. A bunch of drama queens actually.
There are some that think I’m stuck here in the “abyss”. Far from the truth. I’m happy just doing my thing. Not concerned with fame and lining pockets as some there have you believe. That’s why I created this blog BEFORE I left. I can do what I wish. No pandering. Fuck all. I can shut it down, and couldn’t care less. Why would I want to be part of that “community”?
“RESPECT” and credibility is earned mate, not STOLEN or FABRICATED. You don’t gain anything by stealing others credibility and property rights and support such behaviour. That does not encourage collaboration, but certainly does make that “community” much poorer for it.
My “Name and Shame” blog will be populated this month. I’ve got some screenshots and dialogue to link up. Not a priority of mine, and BS never is. It’s just a little bit of fun to exposed part to the truth and moronic attitude of some that pretend they are there to “help” other than inflate egos that don’t match the size of there pecker . . . :))

A funny thing happened during installation of v7.50. It went well until it hit 65% then it said the following:
Extracting Ramdisk
Decompressing Ramdisk
— Failure, aborting
After that the installation froze up, stuck at 65%. I waited for about 10 minutes and nothing happened. Assuming something had gone wrong, I pressed and held the power button for a few seconds. TWRP returned and prompted me to reboot. When I did, the phone booted normally and when I checked, version 7.50 was installed. The phone is up and running, working perfectly.
What do you suppose might could happened? I’ve installed many of your previous versions and there’s never been a problem. Be that as it may, take pride in the fact that even when your kernels hit a snag, in the end they still work!

Don’t know what or who you refer to about “stole from”… There are many at Kangland that have stolen intellicual property (copyrighted materal) from me. That’s a FACT. They have stolen my Synpase, ramdisk and installer implemenation. Even removed the legal licence !! Now,
kangland dipshit M00derators support this, and also support fabrication of lies to support unethical practices. They turned the Note5 forums into a “war-zone”. It’s all on them and their childish games. Fuck them. If someone has something to say, well provide the eveidence. There is none on me.
On the other hand, there is a “developer” of “Xtreme” kernel who I reported for stealing my credit. He Stole SkyHigh kerbnel v3.4, changed the kernel version name and passed it off as his own. Whilst open-source, he refused to acknowledge credit of the source import from SkyHigh. M00derator Malybru actioned the report, by was still an open case after ONE month at the time I left. I provided an open-shut case and with a step by step method of proof with access to my git repo. This Xtreme dipshit had previously trolled my N920C thread whishing to compile SkyHigh but changing the kernel verion string (re-badge it). He then changed his Kangland user name and opened a thread at Samsung Vietnam, followed by Kangland . . . . There are other theives too : The Sickness, Tkkg1994, Voltaqe etc etc
I wasn’t really “banned”, I actually left, hence this site was created BEFORE that time. It has served a purpose . . . . Those Kanglang M00derators were hasling me over kernel source and even threatening actions dues to “previous” source non-complioance. What a load of wank. I demaded they provide the EVIDENCE and to stop the harassment. They never did. KennyG123 even edited his public posts to try cover his tracks from what was said and timeline. I made an official report on the whole thing, but of course I knew it would go unanswered. Those same faceless and cowardly people are the ones that govern themselves. Rules for some ae not for others. A hypocritical and corrupt system. BUT, I don’t care anymore. haven’t for a long time. They couldn’t provide EVIDENCE, so they just fabricate lies and BS in public forum and PMs. I have links to a couple screenshots in a earlier post. It shows their “reasoning” behind the ban. . . . There is nothing. They are just full of waffle. Years and 10,000 hours contributing must be “selfish” and not what they expect at XDA. Supported theives and this collabortaion in support of that is unethical, something I won’t be a part of.
I could go on and on, but fuck it. I’ll add this shit to my name and shame page soon
enough . . . .
Although he did have a hand in them, Rainbow Dash was never the real (main) creator of
those ROMs. It was a friend. Anyway, I don’t support any CM ROMs, and anything I’d done in the past was just a favour. . . .
Just be aware, I do intend to be culling the level of support. Some users will have to
visit Kangland and flash stolen and unoriginal shit. That’s what that once great site has turned into.. . .

I didn’t try the combination of skyhigh and magisk.When I installed skyhigh kernel, everything else remained untouched. Since it didn’t sound normal, I full wiped my phone and installed the QA3 firmware and magisk and viper and xposed. And the sound worked well but deep sleep was not fuctioned and the battery drained a lot. T O T

As I said, you’ll have to then look at a different kernel elsewhere. I don’t have your device. I’m scaling right back on what I support. There is no incentive and inclination to continue. I just don’t want to blind debug anymore. Next release will be be N920C-CD only. All other are discontinued. Too many years doing this.

Working on a release with Aroma option to install either Magisk or SuperSU root. A LOT of work to try make Synapse fully compatible with Magisk, BUT unfortunately some features will not work due to required busybox. Really a total revamp of Aroma as well so make things “seamless” as possible.
I DO NOT intend to update N9208_SEA any further, so left with the remaining N920C* variants . . . . I also intend to cease further development of those variants in the very near future. The next might be the last for public consumption.

Well that’s unfortunate. You don’t see many kernels made that support the new systemless methods especially for the N920T. As far as I know the T only has 4 custom kernels (including yours) and besides yours they are mostly outdated. Got a little excited by the thought of some fresh developing. But I understand there’s huge amounts of time and effort that one must allocate for such projects. Thanks again for your contributions.

Maybe contact KennyG123 and his henchmen and request them to spend 1000’s (if not 10x that) on “development” rather than turning those forums into a thieving kang fest and supporting it through lies and manipulation. . . . Yeah, I’m serious. Those idiots have no idea, especially when it comes to blind building, they’d be totally lost on their own. Useless, actually. Just take a look at the “Xtreme” dipshit and “sickness” cough cough cough choke choke choke “recognized developer”……… WTF has he actually “developed”? That’s just the tip of the iceberg. . . .
I just don’t want to do this shit much longer. I have better things to do with my time which is much appreciated in the “real” world where it benefits me and my family. And that’s way more important than some hobby will ever be. Actually, this hobby has no importance what-so-ever that’s why I haven’t gotten around to populating the name-and-shame blog yet. Those thieves are lower than the dog shit I stepped on yesterday, wouldn’t even bother to wipe it off. . .

Been trying to “perfect” the changes to the next an most likely final release. Nearly there….
A friend of mine passed on a message to a couple (I think “unbiased”) XDA Moderators, asking if they would like me to make available to those members my git repos (full commits and original authorship) for both kernel source, ramdisk and build environment. So far they haven’t replied, so whether they just ignore it or still deliberating, I don’t know. It’s no bother. Many Mods there are happy to support stealing of intellectual property and credit (KennyG123, Darth). The same (looking at their profiles) have’t actually done much (or any) developing themselves, nor anything with originality. It’s an inbred culture. I do know that my work would have benefit for many there to study. But I’m not just going to open my repos though without a little in return. ………
So, I could help out those kangers and thieves, or let them meander on into the abyss. Totally up to them whether they want to actually help or hinder their own members. The offer is not on the table for very long. I’m changing my licensing (right now), but may have to revert for the final release and leave it at that . . .
The only major bug (mobile data + VPN + deep sleep) will remain unresolved. I have an idea, and simple “fix” which may require a compromise I’m not willing to do.

I’m not sure if I’ll release it publicly.
1. I believe that most are on the leaked buggy Android N ROM anyway.
2. That “recognized PoS” Tkkg1994@XDA would just steal my work. He’s a real PoS !! He BEG me to use my work, but I refused. So this talent-less thief STEALS my Copyright (c) material, strips authorship, reproduces it WITHOUT PERMISSION as THE ORIGINAL AUTHOR !! What a grubby shithead !!
This is the sort of shit-stain that Kangland dishes “recognized” titles to……….. They can go fuck right off. So, my latest fixes remain with me (for now).
But, I’ll be distributing my source and build scripts to just a couple of friends. I know one that loves his Linux and built a few kernels for it. Just a shame that I’ve never had the time for that !! Doubt there would be much difference though, Android is derived from Linux.
I want to wrap this up soon.

Hello, good day, Please have a problem with a note 5 of T-Mobile SM-N920T
The phone is with the original firmware 5.1.1 and the original recovery, however the Kernel is modified with the Kernel SkyHigh v2.5, when doing the hard reset from Settings it results that the computer restarts and enters the recovery but soon me Gives at the bottom a message that says:
“dm-verity verification failed”
Restart and obviously not reset anything and I continue with my normal system, I do not want to reset with the key combination as it could completely damage the firmware ..
Because reason would have changed only the kernel ..? The imei in settings is equal to the casing on the phone, everything works perfectly but I fear that I happen to problems that I read in other forums that I have no imei or permanent bootloop …!
However I need to upgrade to 6.1.1 and install some of the ModRoms and recoverys that are available.
Please what is it that I should do with this my situation in this problem ..?
Thank you so much

I understand your frustration with Kangland and it makes perfect sense not to “develop” kernels for custom ROM’s on there.

You still don’t get it. I currently DO NOT DEVELOP in any way, shape, or form. Go bother dipshit KennyG123 and other peckerheads that steal. They made the Note 5 forums a steaming pile of shit. It’s up to them and unfortunately decent members to lie in that filth and deal with selfish consequences brought upon themselves.
I was “banned” from there because my years of heavy contributions and originality brought to the various forums was not supported by idiot childish mods, rather they supported PROVEN thieves (check “name and shame” blog) and lie (defame) in various posts and PM’s. That is something I refused to be associated with, hence I actually “left” before the ban took place. The ban was just a face saving exercise to try protect their weak image.

I actually merged in Nougat sources for a private build for my N920C at start of month. Full Synapse. Full everything. All up-to-date with my last (best) unreleased Marshmallow release. Did it. DELETED it. Took a few days, but not rocket science either. None is committed to any repo. I might add link to screenshot at some time. I’m now back on 100% unrooted STOCK !!. Better that than Ketan’s B.S. placebo filled “pro” ROM. Those interfering kernel “tweaks”, what a load of crock! May I ask why on earth his free EFS app connects to a network for? What data collection (if any)? BTW, the Kangland site also uses a number of methods to track and identify you canvas fingerprinting data is just one of many. Begs the question, what other data they collect and for what purpose????
I have a personal setup ….. the only way I can be identified is :
1. If I chose to (can’t be bothered with secure measures)
2. Government / intelligence agency.
The main thing is not only using secure / trusted / encrypted VPN, BUT also prevent browsers leaks via scripts, cookies, flash, DNS etc
browserleaks.com is a great way to test. Great site I’ve used for a couple years.
