The Background:
I got this phone as a replacement to Galaxy Grand and soon I realised it's not sufficient to be on the stock kernel for all obvious reasons.
I'm used to great kernels like Dorimanx on SII.
So I searched on the Lenovo and XDA forums and soon realised that Lenovo was releasing incomplete sources for their devices(Specially A6000). Soon they released LP build for A6000 along with complete kernel source. The LP source builds well but KK source was still incomplete. But the wait was over and they release complete source for Kitkat release.
I'm still using KK on this device because their LP builds are not yet mature and couple of features like Encryption are still missing on LP (I need them)
DISCLAIMER:
ONLY FOR KK 4.4.4 Stock ROM
I'm not responsible for bricked devices or flashing wrong version
You are using this kernel at your own responsibility
NO Lollipop Support, Don't ask for it
——— !!!!!!!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED !!!!!!!! ———
FEATURES:
This kernel include the following additional features:
* Built on Linaro 4.9.4, (Stock kernel is on 4.7)
* Cortex-A53 Optimizations
* Additional Governors, Alucard, Hyper, darkness, OnDemandPlus and others.
CREDITS:
Dorimanx (for all his kernel sources, SII, LG)
Alucard_24(for Alucard Governor)
Torvalds (Kernel 3.6.Y maintainer)

KERNEL SOURCE:
Source code of the kernel can be found here:
https://github.com/chhapil/Kernel-Lenovo-A6000-KK
TO Do List:
I'm planning to add following features, but NOT ETA
1. Create flashable zip instead of boot.img
2. Add SuperSU and busybox to the build
3. Add additional IO schedulers
4. Add Synapse Support
5. Overclocking
6. Other mods that I see fit
Steps:
1. adb reboot bootloader
2. For temporary flash, fastboot boot boot.img
3. For permanent flash, fastboot flash boot boot.img
4. The phone will reboot automatically.
5. The Stock Rom doesn't show Kernel version on about page, here is the command to verify the kernel.
PHP:
adb shell cat /proc/version
Linux version 3.10.28-Kernel-MoStock-V1.1-A6000+ ([email protected]) (gcc version 4.9.4 20150629 (prerelease) (crosstool-NG 1.20.0 - Linaro GCC 2015.06) ) #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Nov 20 18:53:31 IST 2015

FAQs
1. Can I use it with MIUI ROM?
Honestly I don't know, people of reported that it works, better search the thread of relevant details
2. I bricked my phone!
Safest procedure to check whether your phone works with this kernel is not flash it in first attempt.
just put command "fastboot boot boot.img"
This temporarily boots phone with new kernel,
If phone fails to start with newer kernel it automatically falls back to older kernel.
If it works well, then you can permanently flash it with "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
3. My Wifi/FM not working
This is the issue with the kernel modules.
This issue has been laying around, here is the cause,
FM, Wifi drivers are loaded as modules by the kernel as per need. It has its own advantages in terms of kernel size and memory utilizations.
On stock ROM these modules are loaded from /system/lib/modules
My efforts had been till date to minimise the changes on the ROM to keep it working with existing modules. But it seems with optimizations and newer toolchains the hack wont work anymore and hence is FM crashes while loading the FM driver. (WLAN driver is still working though with the hack)
So I'm publishing the latest compiled modules. (Find them in attached zip) They would resolve this FM issue. Also the wifi modules
Here are the steps,
1. Download and extract the modules zip on your phone.
2. Backup existing radio-iris-transport.ko from /system/lib/modules
3. Copy and replace radio-iris-transport.ko from the modules folder in /system/lib/modules
4. Alternatively you can replace all the existing .ko files with the one i have provided. Make sure you backup them before replacing.
5. You can Use Es Explorer or ADB to follow these steps.
6. Set correct permissions 644 (either chmod 644 or ES Explorer-> file ->Properties->permissions)
new version released.
see change-log in second OP and on release page.
One more thing,
Please don't use my github for QnA, use XDA
Is anybody actually using the kernel?
There are no comments, nor i see any good traffic on the github downloads.
In case no response or activity, probably I'll stop posting the builds.
Let me know guys
Please don't stop making I will post your kernel in whatsapp
---------- Post added at 10:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:20 AM ----------
Please post this on main thread of lenovo a6000
---------- Post added at 10:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:23 AM ----------
Also please make this kernel for the cm11 compatible
WhatsApp? What's that for?
I have reported this thread to admin for not being visible in devices thread. It will be visible soon.
I can not make kernel for cm11. I'm not using cm11 and don't have to time to make flash and test on it.
Uber 5.2
I have created a build with Uber 5.2 to test overall smoothness, battery life and other factors.
Please let me know which build you feel better after testing (Linaro or Uber)

What is max charging current in stock lollipop kernel? I find charging to be slow. And when I checked it shows 600 mA while charging and thats a bit slow.

Can I install this kernel on CM11.??
Thanks for creating this great custom kernel for our device.
your custom kernel works on MIUI 7. Great. It gives long battery life (about 25-30 hours on normal usage). Performance is good too.
Please add more custom governor and hotplug.
And please Lollipop build
Thanks

I've tested on CM11. Yes you can use it on CM11 (but you must create your own boot.img file, using CM11 ramdisk and MoStock kernel). But I found one bug (for now), WiFi will stuck on turning on. I don't know about other bugs.
I hope chhapil can fix wifi bug on CM11.
This kernel works like a charm on MIUI 7. No bug

WARNING :
This KERNEL is only for Galaxy S5 Plus LTE-A (SM-G901F/kccat6) version !
You will void your warranty after flashing this ROM (knox @ 0x1)
I'am not responsible of any damage caused to your device after flashing this KERNEL
Some reading..
First of all, I would like to thanks a lot my friend @xdamc2010 for his hard investment about making a kernel finally bootable and stable kernel for our G901F and tells me his solution to finally make this kernel living. Huge kudos to him, and also to @JDizzle80 to find the solution at the same time.
SimpleGX is only looking for simplicity and stability, trying to aim for best battery life, smoothness and performance experience, than a pure stock kernel.
I still don’t qualify myself as of a real developer, but just a basic person with some android/linux knowledge already.
As always, I’m enjoying sharing my contribution here on XDA for free, which taking me a lot of time to release, so if you can offer me a little beer, I will really appreciate that.
This kernel must be only flashed over an official Samsung ROM and not AOSP/AOKP !
Feel free to include my kernel to your ROMs / Threads but please don't forget to inform/ask first via PM and credit me in your original thread.

TricksterMOD & SetCPU are your friend apps for that, so you can change governor, tcp congestion module, some slight values, etc, but do not expect more :good:
Will it work if I'm on FXXU1ANH6?
"Setcpu" old one... Was long time on Boeffla kernel at Samsumg S3, but enjoying the S5 Plus [G901F] v4.4.4 now, speccially with your great work here!!!

You can give and report, but normally it should not boot.
Make a stock ANH6 kernel flashable zip just in case, so you will be able to boot back if it don't work.
To make short: copy and past my flashable zip, rename it "stock_kernel.zip", open it and place it your "boot.img" from your actual firmware and place it in your sdcard just to be safe in case of problem :good:
Kernel is fast:
UPDATE
★ UPDATE ★ :
21.03.2015 : v1.0.1 released.
Now compiled with Linaro Cross Compiler (4.7.4 / 2014.06) toolchain (optimized for Cortex-A15) with optimization flags.
Enjoy :highfive:

Now gonna try second version.
Still happy, great stuff DeV
I got 50k on 1.2.3 of the rom using interactive governor
just now tested 46k using new kernel and zzmoove governor
with new kernel and interactive governor, best score out of all 3 tests 51.4k.
I will post screenshots from phone so can see which part of tests change.
Stock kernel and interactive 1426997410034

Thanks, but kernel v1.01 is running great!!
Unlikely I will revert but is good there is now a procedure thanks.
My initial report is the phone does feel smoother to use, and in particular the play store is way more responsive.
Also the phone probably had 6 hours or so sleep time since I turned screen off and no battery drain on battery page, is flat line, not sure if thats either excellent battery life during sleep or its not been updating.
and I am using zzmoove.

Introduction:
This is my first kernel for any Android device. I created it because I want to get the best out of my device. It initially started with some optimizations regarding SaberMod 4.9 compatibility but I tought why not optimize it even more.
About:
This Kernel is based on the official CM12 kernel, therefore it should work with any Rom using the stock CM kernel too (Like Carbon and Liquid). I run it together with Carbon here, all tests I do will also be done using Carbon. The Kernels features will get more with time
Features and Commit History:
Check 2nd Post!
Installation Instruction:
THIS DOES ONLY WORK ON UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER!
When you're on CM/a CM based Rom:
Flash the zip file in recovery
When coming from Stock:
Flash the boot.img included in your ROMs zip file using fastboot. Flash a CM based Rom then and flash the Kernel zip file again as the Rom overrides the Kernel.

Don't believe this man, he does great work with kernels on other Xperia devices!
I find it odd though that the kexec page address value for the Z3C differs from the Z3 and Z2 -- got any explanation on that? (My first guess would be that's because it has less RAM but I'm tired and pretty sure that's wrong.)
Great Work man
First of all, thanks a bunch for all your hard work @Myself5!!
Our Z3Cs need a serious kernel, feel like this could be it. I've noticed you uploaded 2 different V6 versions for Z3Cs - normal and permissive? Could you explain the difference?
Thanks again for all your input, and happy flashing everyone.

Permissive has SELinux mode set to permissive (for usage with XPosed), while the normal one has the stock SELinux Settings, being Enforced.

You don't know how long I've spent F5'ing the Z3C development page lol.
Also
Don't believe this man, he does great work with kernels on other Xperia devices!
I find it odd though that the kexec page address value for the Z3C differs from the Z3 and Z2 -- got any explanation on that? (My first guess would be that's because it has less RAM but I'm tired and pretty sure that's wrong.)

Thats totally correct. The Z3C has 2GB RAM compared to the Z2 and Z3 having 3GB. Hence the Positions needed for the kernel inside the RAM Banks are different too -> Different Kexec Hardboot value.

So if I'm planning to use Xposed I need to flash the permissive version is that right?

Just Flashed m5 kernel (release version)
works perfectly.
Thanks for all your hard work
Tested on PAC Rom. Working good! Seems to be a little more battery consuming compared to stock CM kernel.
I thought so to, but am gonna give it a day or so to settle. Much faster/responsive tho, apps etc are opening a lot faster so is browser imo

Have you tried latest cm with it's own kernel? bcs m5 permissive kernel works with nightly from May 19
Just a question about xposed and selinux. I'm running a stock 5.0.2 with xposed on my phone, selinux status set to enforcing. Why is permissive needed with cm and this kernel? Just curious.
Kernel and last cm 23/05 not work god.
Hello!
I've got the latest cm nightly ( 24.05.2015 ), with latest M5-Kernel-V6-L. I think everything works fine, the system speed little bit faster then the cm's kernel. The processor cores using are better. In stand by, it's uses only one core, not two core like cm. But! With M5 kernel, wifi doesn't work. I can't run it. If i turn it on, nothing. It's doesn't find any wifi. And it's going back to off... Am I the only one with that error? I doesn't try M5 kernel before.. I missed something? I'm not at home, but if I arrived, I can make a Logcat if it help.

Yes WiFi lost here.
6.1 is coming
Compiling and uploading 6.1 ATM. No changes exept the merge of the CM Upstream branch. 6.1 is now working with the latest CM Builds.
Also it's the first fully automated build on my jenkins setup (using the fileserver as a host and my friends homeserver as the buildserver) so don't be confused if the Kernel build host is "[email protected]", thats my friends server. The Automation allows me to upload a new Kernel version faster in case of a CM upstream change.
Regards and Happy Flashing
Changelog is live
I just updated the Second Post, It now includes a Full Changelog, and therefore a Feature List too.
Have fun with it
I seem cannot set minimum CPU freq, it keeps turning back to 1958 MHz using kernel adiutor, trickster, and any app :/

I am NOT resposible for any damage done to your device, your neighbor, or any other things you like/hate.
Introduction:
About:
This Kernel is a port from the Z2/Z3/Z3C M5 Kernel based on the official CM12 kernel. It should work with any Rom using the stock CM kernel too (Like Carbon and Liquid). I'm mainly using PAC 5.1, and it's working sweet so far!
Installation Instruction:
THIS DOES ONLY WORK ON UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER!
CM Recovery not supported!
When you're on CM/a CM based Rom:
Flash the zip file in recovery
When coming from Stock:
Flash the boot.img included in your ROMs zip file using fastboot. Flash a CM based Rom then and flash the Kernel zip file again as the Rom overrides the Kernel.

Yes PAC includs the M5 Kernel but you can use the kernel on all Cm based Roms
10.1 is up
Hey guys, I managed to find some free time, and finally compiled and uploaded a 10.1 Build. Basically it only includes CM Upstream commits (about 200 of them), and should work flawless with the newest CM builds, I am running it with the OFFICIAL 20151016 release of Carbon ROM on my Z3 here (excuse me, but some advertisement needs to be placed ). I hope you enjoy it
Regards
Installed it on CM 12.1 first look runs smoothly and quick
V10.2
Hey guys,
V10.2 is currently compiling, you can check the progress here: http://myself5.de:12345/job/M5Kernel All Devices/
It's basically a bug/derpfix build, but also added some new under the hood changes.
Changelog:
Fix Soft Reboots on rhine devices
Add Oneshot Sync
Tweak kgsl
Fix loading of LZMA Compressed Recoverys

Playing around with the kernel on CM
Looks like smooth and stable
Want to change CPU govenour with tasker from Wheatley to elementalx when playing special games.
Tasker says he can set on CPU 0 and 1 the govenour, but not on CPU 2 and three. There is no govenour selection on CPU 1 and 2 avaiable in Tasker
I give my the answer myself
Kernel Audiotor have Tasker plugin support..so its much easyer with this and it works
@rcstar6696
Any chance of a new kernel based on Sony 23.4.A.1.200/23.4.A.4.6
http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/128679/
V11 is compiling
Hey folks,
I just started the build of V11. It contains considerably most of the changes done till now, @tomascus did a very good work with that. He merged Linux Kernel upstream up to 3.4.111, which is the newest 3.4 Kernel available. We ofc also merged the CM upstream, and tomascus also merged some improvements to f2fs and zRAM. In addition to that Eyenseo fixed the static noise on highend headphones. In addition to that, I'd like to welcome Eyenseo and tomascus to the team, they will maintain the Z2 (as I sold mine recently) and tomascus, who will maintain the Z1 (we were looking for a Z1 maintainer since quite a while).
Furthermore, we'd like to announce that this might be the last 3.4 M5 Kernel build (unless we find some time to keep it updated for LP). The reason is: M will use the Sony AOSP trees and the 3.10 Kernel. Hence we are going to start working on a 3.10 based M5 Kernel as soon as we can, in order to be ready once M builds are released. (Which should be soon)
You can see the current build progress here: http://myself5.de:12345/job/M5Kernel All Devices/

Just a simple question, when deciding which cpu hotplug plugin to choose, do I leave MPdecision always on? It seems like MPdecision alone does not work as a cpu hotplug(4 cores always connected) and other plugins seems to have some kinda dependencies on MPdecision plugin. I would much prefer to use MPdecision alone, but it seems like I have to turn on intelliplug or MSM mpdecision to make hotpluging work.

then MPdecision seems to be broken, it never will unplug idling cores. 4 cores are always online.

Nonessential....
There are different meanings in idle cores while display on, because bring back cores online cost energy.

V11.1 is coming
Hey folks
After various reports on different devices, we reverted our sound changes for the static noise with headsets. It seemed to cause more issues than it was fixing.
Therefore, our changelog for 11.1 is quite small.

Fix sound again by reverting the previous sound fixes
As always, the build progress can be seen here: http://myself5.de:12345/job/M5Kernel All Devices/
V11.2 is out
Hey Folks,
As some of you know, my Server died recently, including all the data on it. I thankfully meanwhile found a Backup from the 21st of December 2015, but that means that the V11.x builds are gone. Thanks to the community, we got some of the newer builds back, however not all of them (some devices miss V11.1-Permissive for example), which is why I decided to start a new (11.2) build after finish to setup my server. That is now. I also updated the changelog for 11.2, stating it is what it is. A rebuild of 11.1.
Thanks for your patience and lot for the builds you guys had uploaded during the Server downtimes.
Regards,
Hey, thnk you for your work!... But all links are down;( maybee some guys will upload it? Thx

Although I'd already uploaded the source to github, I was asked a few times to release the kernel of my OmniROM6 build. Frankly, I only contributed a small part of it. Most of the codes are here and there from other devices and/or developers. I just modified a few and patched a few.
This week, I was packaging a kernel for my other devices. Thanks to the AIK (Android image Kitchen) by @osm0sis, it make my life much easier. I think spending a few more minutes for my Nexus 7 is not a bad idea. I don't know if it would work for your existing ROM. I only have three success reports. Fail and success reports, suggestions and comments are welcome.
This might just another one time deal as my TWRP. I'll make this thread simple. Anyway, it's done.
Release Notes:
2016/9/15: Finally a long holiday come. It's about time we migrated to Nougat. Most of the custom ROMs are busy for their first release. In the meantime, I may consolidate the kernel and device trees. After struggling for a few hours, I finally stop the sepolicy from denials for the first time.... The test AOSP-N builds are unloading now. See post#184 for details.
History
2016/8/9: PerformanceControl is update to Drawer view UI now. Enable native D2TW interface for other ROMs (** How to enable it is in the Theory section **)

2016/6/7: Android N preview2 zip version was uploaded to experimental pool.
2016/6/5: Android N preview2 testing boot and system image in experimental pool. Read post #135 for detail.
2016/3/30: Add the power HAL with frequency adjustments and set feature support.
2016/3/18: Upload a test kernel to experimental pool.
2016/3/14: Bug fix in PerformanceControl.apk and the final code for kexec patch.
2016/3/13: Add the experimental pool for the testing builds.
2016/2/29: Seems it is not a one time thing now so I added the Change log section. The initial commit of Tegra3 Support is added to the PerformanceControl apk. In addition, I also include the Nexus 7 support in the Tools page. Wiping caches and flashing images are working for Nexus 7 now. A bug in Set on Boot is also fixed.
2016/2/16: Seems most of the fellow ROM builders had included the rotation patch in their kernel. I have no problem spending another few more minutes for the user oriented request. I prepared another zip. The only difference between 0214 and 0216 zip is 0216 included the rotation patch. If anyone have problem with rotation stopped after long deep sleep, you may try the 0216 version.
2016/2/14: This is not an update. There are requests for LP and KK ROMs. I added the fstab for those earlier versions. The script was modified. It will check the /system/build.prop for Android version and copy the corresponding fstab to the ramdisk. cheers!
Theory:
The source is from the stock AOSP kernel (3.1.10) for grouper. The kernel binary is more or less the same for most of the ROMs posted. The major difference would be the ramdisk. With this in mind, I just replace the kernel binary and keep the existing ramdisk. The existing kernel might not have F2FS support so I replace the File System Table (fstab.grouper) too.
Even though this is from my OmniROM6 (MM) ROM, it might also work for LP or earlier. There are two default fstab (MM and LP) inside. For those who want to use their own, you may replace the file /data/AIK-mobile/XX/fstab.grouper inside the zip. Where XX=MM for ROMs from 6.0.0, XX=LP for ROMs before 6.0.0 (LP and KK, JB not tested)
To ROM builders:
If you want to enable the native DT2W in Display settings, please include the following lines in:
device/asus/grouper/overlay/frameworks/base/core/res/res/values/config.xml
You may enjoy the DT2W feature now

What exactly does one have to modify in the fstab.grouper file to make it compatible with LP? Or is there a pre-defined file that can replace the current one for MM present in the .zip file?

The only difference between MM and LP would be the OTG line.
Usually, the one found in cm-12.1 would work for all LP. Unzip this one View attachment fstab.grouper.zip
I have changed a few flags. Other developers might have other changes too.
The one inside your LP ROM would be better for your ROM. You may copy it out from root directory after start up.
If there is no F2FS support in your ROM's fstab,
1. Let say the one inside my zip is the base fstab.
2. the one in you LP ROM is target fstab.
3. copy the 4 lines with /data and /cache from the base fstab to the target fstab.
4. replace the base fstab with the target fstab inside my zip.
That's all
note:Those lines are quite long and might extended to a few lines.
Good luck!
Edit: Starting from version 20160214, there are two folders MM and LP which correspondinng to ROMs from or before Android 6.0.0. There is a default fstab inside each. For those who want to replace it with their fstab. It should be put inside the corresponding folder.
Which changes would be necessary to use your kernel with KK/4.4.4 ?

There is a fix for auto rotate implemented in other grouper kernels that appears to be missing from this one, but it's nice to have the clock speeds to play with :good:
Thanks! I'll test it tomorrow.

Booted on KK/4.4.4! Will go on testing!
But where to find the performance apk? Or do I have to compile it from source?
Thanks!

The audio and rotation fix are not in the kernel. I did it in the platform. Ask your ROM's builder for detail.

The apk is in the system. It is in /system/apps/PerformanceControl/PerformanceControl.apk
I forgot if KK's system apps was inside a folder. If not, move it out.
Good luck
Found & installed -> works!
GPU is (obviously) for a different HW, correct?

Yeah. The apk was for my other devices. There are apks like trickster mod can modify Tegra GPU. I seldom change it in my tilapia so I didn't add the extra codes. (lazy too )
I included this apk because there is settings for DT2W. The sources are in my github. It would be quite easy for others to port their own.
EDIT:Can you tell me which ROM you are using?
Unofficial SlimKat 9.1 (see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3214142)
Many thanks for your effort!
@daniel_hk regarding screen rotation, I suppose you missed this commit. It's about handling the timer values in MM. I first handled this issue in frameworks/base, too, but the kernel patch is more easy to maintain.

I saw it in manta's commit too.
Since I'm maintaining a few devices, I want to make it common. I did it in the platform. Same source would work for the three kernel sources I'm working on.

If you meant the download link to AndroidFileHost, I just checked and its OK. May be it's temperately unavailable at your side.
Hell yes! Finally a OC kernel for the Nexus 7 on MM! I have been trying to make one for hours though couldnt work it out! Can i beg for a commit to be added so us Tiapila users can use it too?
https://github.com/jfmcbrayer/grouper-kernel/commit/3f0c118b4ebc45045049e7e01c6deae5bdddb243
This commit stops the 3G wakelock that cripples the battery life on all Tiapila devices on version 5.0 and above. Battery life is like 20 hours even with no screentime.
Pretty please! This commit is already included on both CM13 and Pure Nexus Kernels for Grouper though those Kernels don't have OC!
Thanks very much.

Why beg for the things already there? If you read my rather short thread. It was already there. Grouper and Tilapia share the same kernel. I already implemented it in the early stage of my Omni6 months ago...

Change Log
Detail(Korean): http://enfree.com/prime/?page=changelog&device=N910
Note: AnyKernel method
Kernels that use AnyKernel method do not have built-in ramdisks; instead they extract and merge with currently installed ramdisk on the fly while installing.
This can help improve compatibility with certain carriers, but can also cause problems if flashed upon another custom kernel.
Thus it is highly recommended that you have a stock kernel installed beforehand when flashing this kernel.

tried this, but the anykernel only supports stock kernel? im sure most n910c users use graceux roms and they dont work with stock kernels. i tried with h vitamin which is the most close to stock ux kernel i can find but prime kernel does not support it
Do we have fast charge script on this kernel?
nice work, now testing on n910c running erobot rom, i will edit this post if anything unexpected happened
Update:
@Hyunwoo AHN error while installing in twrp: variant: n910c, os: touchwiz base -> error: n910eur-tw-zImage not found
it cant detect the n910ch-tw-zimage from kernel files
awesome awesome awesome,,
F2FS + FIOPS in 1 kernel. FINALLY ... this is truly the best (minus encryption concerns?)
wonderful work sir. will test out on my U variant and report back.
if only there was a ROM that supported f2fs, I cant get modem to work on this kernel N910U variant.
Updater process ended with ERROR: 1

You do not seem to understand my writing.
When flashing the kernel, extract the ramdisk from the existing kernel, convert the ramdisk properly and merge it.
It is best to use this kernel after flashing the stock kernel first.
Of course you can use another developer's kernel (ramdisk), but as I said, there is a possibility of errors, so flash the stock kernel first if possible.
As I said, GraceUX ROM works well.

There was a mistake in the flashing script.
Wait for the next version or decompress and rename the file yourself.
Updated to v6.4.0 (stable)
Is there a way to create a unique serial number for your phone in your kernel and disable your phone?
I am referring to the contents of the Korean community.
What does the curl package do inside the kernel? Is synapse reinstalled every time it boots to disable the user's phone based on the generated serial number?

Use curl to generate a unique serial number.
The serial number is used to download add-ons for donor users and not for other purposes.

i think it was you who dont understand what i mean, but then again i explained not so clearly so i guess its my fault.
what i meant is this error: n910eur-tw-zImage not found
but i dont understand what you said "When flashing the kernel, extract the ramdisk from the existing kernel, convert the ramdisk properly and merge it."
dont you mean i just flash the most close to stock ux kernel first then flash Prime anykernel?
because i dont think my device will boot if i flash stock kernel you provided because im using UX rom.
UX roms need stock UX kernel (modified something in ramdisk i forgot what is it)

It 's hard to explain because I do not know English well.
Do not worry about using GraceUX ROM, do not worry about it.
The error you say is my mistake as I said in other posts. And obviously I said that some variants need testing.
N910C, touchwiz os, Prime kernel v6.4.0:
@Hyunwoo AHN Phone won't boot and in restart loop at boot logo
excellent news for 910f needs testing still?
N910U installation failed

i suggest you not to download the kernel yet, your phone probably wont boot (n910c), wait for an update from @Hyunwoo AHN to fix the issue
Damn it!
v6.3.0 was linked. -_-;
I just fixed the download link.
n910u got a bootloop after flash this kernel...
anyway, thanks for your work
Updated to v6.4.1
Add custom build dtb, with N910C/H/U.
fix configs, with N910U variant.
*** Need test ***
However, the Korean variants(S/K/L) works perfectly.
