Can I install a G920F/FD/I/S/K ROM and flash a G920W8 kernel to make that ROM work? - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'd like to know, if I tweak a zip file from a G920x that does not support W8 model so that it bypasses the hardware check and I install a W8 kernel before the first boot, will this work?
I'm asking because of Marduk ROM who proposes to install a W8 kernel for his ROM which does not mention any support for W8 models in his title but adds links in his description to install a W8 kernel. So I'm wondering if on other ROMs, I can do that so I can try different roms on my W8 model by simply installing a W8 kernel.

It should be fine, you might have calls not having audio though. I myself am using Marduk currently for my SM-G920W8. In other ROM threads that did not state W8 support, I have seen others say they installed it on their W8 and was working fine for them.

So if I try say LineageOS 14.1 with this custom Kernel and other proposed fixes, I should get it working? Because the available W8 supported LineageOS 14.1 has a broken download link and an unavailable author so the only available one is for non W8 models. As for no audio during calls, that's a problem I see happenning even with some supported W8 ROMS without a proper patch.
And I am just curious, because I did not see any REAL roms that pleased me, how is your experience with Marduk, is it really debloated, that's my main issue with ROMS. I really want a ROM that forces me to install OpenGapps and Magisk on my own.

I am not sure about AOSP ROMs, only have been looking at stock Nougat ROMs. Marduk is okay for me, I didn't mind having Magisk installed. But I am planning to switch to another ROM soon.

Habe you ever tried to modify a zip file from a ROM? Or do you just install them as is without changing anything?

new to idol 3 quick question

Hi guys looking at getting the idol 3 5.5 just a couple of questions
Can someone tell me what the different model numbers are as far as I know there are 4 different variants of the idol 3
Also I'm looking to keep to a stock rom based rom which one is best to use or should I just root and stick to the stock rom anyways as all I really want to do is remove system apps I don't use and install viper4android lol
Thanks
Hello,
The problem is with the 5 models (6045I,6045Y,6045O,6045K,6045B they are 99% same, i think the diference is in kernel/radio/dual sim).
so there are lot of custom roms, but the problem is, that they are only builds by fans and not really a developers (except "Unjustified Dev" which is the only one real developer here so far). so they just build the rom and cannot do much about the problems. This ends in many builds (CM, PAC, LEWA... ) all are CM based builds, there are also a lot of kernels,. the problem is nobody really knows what are the diference.
For someone is kernel " x" working for someone not etc.
So thats the reason i am on stock.
I managed to find, that TCL i806 is alcatel idol3 (TCL is the owner company of Alcatel). So i get the stock firmware for i806 and made some mods. Its probably the nearest to stock firmware. The only problem is, that it includes kernel, thats 100% working with 6045Y. You can try to boot it on your own device, but for suer to flash (not boot) TWRP recovery, make full backup and also download the other kernels, so you can swap them in TWRP.
If all things go well we should have android Marshmallow start rolling out in june.

thanks for the reply well ive ordered it and its coming tomorrow its the 6045Y version so am i right in saying i should be able to just install your rom no problem and i dont need to install the different kernel
also what kernel are you using as ill properly use the same one lol
sorry one last question do i unlock my bootloader as well before root ect
thanks again for your help
6045Y is same model as mine. So unlock bootloader and then flash TWRP recovery, make backup, flash my rom. I allready included overclocked ARDE team kernel. If you have some problems (freezes, reboots) then probably your SoC isnt capable of holding the OC, then just launch the kernel adiutor and lower the frquencies.

thanks will do is your rom the latest version that alcatel has released (in other words should i be able to flash your rom from any version of stock thats on my phone) and great ill just flash your rom and happy days lol
does xposed work ok on the idol 3 and if so what version do we flash
again thanks for your help carnt wait till tomorrow now
i dont use xposed, but should work without problems (have tried months ago). and also download mobile uphrade q v. 5.0.6 (its also on my google drive). its the alcatel app to get you to stock if something goes wrong. Also in my unlock bootloader thread is a bat file which makes all partition backup of your phone.

Advice Please regarding Marshmallow on Note 3

Hello.
I have a Galaxy Note 3 currently running the Vodafone official Lollipop ROM. I find it very sluggish and would like to speed it up.
Would I see any benefit in rooting my phone and going to CM13 or an alternative Marshmallow ROM ?
I have 2 apps that I use constantly - IBM Verse and VPNCilla, both of which I use for work. Would both of these apps work
on a custom ROM, as this would be a deal breaker if they did not.
If all of the answers to the above were yes, where would be the best place to download the necessary ROM etc, as it has been a while since I have done this.
Many thanks,
Simon

Yes marshmallow is more smooth relative to lollipop.
As for your apps it depends on the ROM, if the ROM you are using has a VPN bug it means you won't be able to use vpncilla properly ,just check known issues of the ROM before flashing to make sure
XDA is the good place to find development
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/rom-unofficial-cyanogenmod-13-0-t3238064 try any other if you don't like it ,lots of marshmallow based ROMs out there nowadays

Can you recommend an alternative ROM to the CM one, as it states on the link that was sent that there is a problem will Call Audio, which is a problem for me, as I use the phone to make calls.
Thanks.

No custom roms

Its has been months but still thier is no custom rom for aur device can anyone tell me why plz thanks in advance
It isn't a popular devices, hence less development. You're more than welcome to learn how to make a ROM and give it a go.

There are two at the moment, how could you miss them?
If you like testing and playing with a rom, there is an AOSP version, however, not final and has some bugs.
Otherwise there is one other custom rom based on stock Oreo. I recommend this one as it's the closest one to stock only being de-bloated, pre rooted and also has TWRP custom recovery, ready to use.

What Stock-based ROM are you still using (2018)?

Just got a spare Z3, and since this device has been quite inactive on developments and such, the most preferred route is to stay stock for stability.
Now, I looked on our Android Development section and there seems to have a couple of stock-based ROMs which are good, and now, even in 2018, I was wondering what stock-based ROMs you guys are still using?
Any bias comments are welcome as long as it's spoken through experience. Also, a combination of Stock-based ROM a Custom Kernel would be nice to hear as well, if you use those.
Thanks guys for noticing~
:good:
Ever heard of OFFICIALLY supported
I use carbon Rom. It's supported officially.
And TWRP 3.2.1.0
Use gapps or mindthegapps
Updated weekly before. Now it's monthly.
No bugs, stable!!
0 problems in 2018
With that firmware & hardware

Any ways to use cyberian camera on carbon oreo? Right now im using existenz on my z3c, everything is ok and it has tones of customizations i can recommend for z3 too. But the best rom for battery is still slimm rom. Whatever lets turn back to my question, only because it is not possible use cyberian cam on carbon oreo i will go for carbon nougat with xperia ui. Can you share your experience with snapdragon camera if you use oreo version?
i have djust used the default camera app that came preinstalled with the rom. as 3rd party apps arent as good as stock. And its really good enough.
and i dont like to use outdated roms still on 6.0 M
im a crazy chronic updater.

search in the Carbon or Omni Thread, someone posted magisk Modules for this
There should also be a guide in there for (regular) flashing this.

Can you install a stock kernel on a custom ROM? Last resort to use my A8 again with enforced mode...

Hi all,
Is it possible to install a STOCK kernel with the custom ROM? Reason is that all the custom ROMS for the A8 are on permissive mode and don't support enforcing.
If it's possible does anyone know or can point me to a howto? I tried fetching it from the latest samsung ROM but with no luck. Or is there a link for a dedicated stock rom for the a530f?
Any help would be highly appreciate; it's my last resort to get this phone back to duty again. I know, with permissive kernels, the phone runs like a charm with Android 11 and 12 ROMs. It's a pity to let it go due to the lack of security support in the kernels.
Kind regards,
Daan
hmmmm
yes only with twrp i think
idk if it would get bricked or not?

Any idea where to get a stock kernel from or howto take it from the latest available stock ROM or if there's somewhere a howto to be found? Till now my search efforts for this subject are quite fruitless...
