[Q] what kernel to use? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone after upgrading my samsung galaxy s4 gt-I9505 to android lollipop 5.0.1,
i find that my phone is SE for Android status =
Enforcing
SEPF_GT-I9505_5.0.1_0002
what im trying to succeed in doing is changing this to permissive mode but im not 100% which kernel i should be using, and was hoping to be pointed in the right direction.
thanks for taking the time to read this.

Is this stock or custom rom?
I think all custom kernels come with it set to permissive.
There also is an app on the play store that can do it. I don't know the name, but some other users mentioned it. Also, you will need root.

[Q] S5 Dev-Edition selinux permissive

Getting my S5 dev-edition later today and I'm wondering if anyone has successfully gotten selinux into permissive mode? If not, would extracting the boot.img and making these changes work for this? Changes: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2487089
Thanks in advance!
Solved
After some trial and error, I'm now running TheArkenstone kernel and all is well. Its available here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52579512&highlight=sprint#post52579512 for anyone else on dev-edition having this issue.
for galaxy s5?
you used this kernel on the verizon s5? I too am trying to find a kernel that enables me to use my vz s5 with my app radio. Thanks man.
The newest version of appradio unchained reloaded works without selinux set to permissive, so I'd recommend just updating it rather than finding a kernel... Unless you need the kernel for something else.

[Q] Knox Warranty Void 0X1 Write Protection: Enabl

Hi every body, i'm new on the forum so i don't really know where to put my topic so excuse me if i'm at the wrong place.
Here is my problem, i had a galaxy s2 i9100G and i used to put cyanogen on it and come back on android then cyanogen so i know a bit about flashing, root, rom stock, custom etc
Now i bought a galaxy s4 I9505 and when i decided to put cyanogen on it i used cf root for titanium backup and all the stuff, so my phone was rooted, but i noticed that on the start on the up left corner was written in red "kernel is not seandroid enforcing" and in yellow "set warranty bit: kernel ". I thought it was nothing so i continued, i wanted to test the new cyanogen mod installer so every thing worked fine and i had cyanogen. (Im sorry it's long but i prefer to explain everything from the begining).
Then when i wanted to return to android stock rom but when i start the flash with odin, 10 secondes after i click start, odin stops and don't respond, then i need to close it so the flash dont work. I searched every thing i could on internet about the knox system and every body seems to say that i can re flash a rom without problem, but i can't, i found on a forum that if i use triangle away then i can flash a rom but triangle away don't work it turn off my phone then nothing.
Please does any boby have an idea ?
Thank you in advance!
I Have I9505 with CM11
try to change the pc or the USB Cable
Also, make sure you are using one of your USB 2.0 ports when flashing.
I have an USB 3.0 on my laptop and whenever i tried to flash with the phone connected to that port, Odin would froze.
You need the right firmware for your bootloader. If you flash an older firmware than your last stock firmware was, it fails because you can not downgrade the bootloader. And triangle away doesn't work anyway on knox bootloaders. Means: if you now have knox on your phone and it's 0x1, what i think it is, there's no chance to reset it to 0x0. But you can flash the latest available firmware for your country, or, if you want, a custom ROM.

I tried on my new laptop (by the way it's also a samsung) who have a USB 3.0 port with the original USB cable, i also tried on my computer with a USB 2.0 and an old USB cable and i think also the new one. but i will try again and focus on that on that point . thank you

Thank you for your detailed answer. When i flashed cyanogen 11 i was on the last official firmware, and it's that firmware that i tried to flash via odin so i don't understand. Do i need to flash a different kernel or something like that? also for triangle away, it put a message on the start of the app that i need a official kernel (samsung) else it will bootloop or soft-brick. With cyanogen, wich kernel it is ? (i've seen on internet that CM11 works with triangle away.)
And what custom rom could advise me ? With the custom roms can have the air gesture and the stuff like that? Or do i need to be on an official firmware ?
Thank you again for your help.

CM 11 is under testing. Why u don't install the CM 10 stable version: HERE?. I dont understand the people asking for solutions that have problems in ROMs that are full of bugs. What did u expect in "nightly" custom roms?
My post wasn't about cm11 rom problems it was about flashing the stock rom, not because the cyanogen one is "full of bugs" wich is not really true. So do you have an idea for my real question?
Wich custom rom would you recommand me ? Is there anyone who have the air gesture and mouvement functions?

- About your first sentence in wikipedia: CyanogenMod tries to build a new, fresh "nightly" version every 24 hours for each of the devices it supports, which includes the most up-to-date changes to the source code, provided from all over the Internet. Of course, the nightly builds may also contain newly-introduced bugs, but hey- if you feel adventurous, you can help make CyanogenMod better by trying these experimental builds and reporting back bugs to the developers.
- Second sentence: Learn how use Triangle Away (more info: HERE) and flash again Stock ROM.
I know that nightly versions have some bugs but what i was trying to say is that they are not as much as you seems to say, and i like this rom and it worth one or two little bugs, any way you didn't answer my last question about custom roms, do you know some great one ?
For the video on triangle away i already searched for informations about it and it doesn't work, when i open triangle away uder current status there are the counter the binary and the device for him in the video but i have one the more : "System : modified" is it a problem ?
And also when i go si my status in the phone informations (in french) "Etat SELinux" is "Application" what does it mean ?
and is the kernel of cyanogen a stock (samsung) kernel like they say on the app ?
Any custom rom is great. Try it out for yourself which one suits you.

N910F want to go back to official rom & kernel

hello take a while xda forum and the truth is that it has helped me a lot earlier with S IV and now with the note IV .
I have a problem and that the note 4 are no longer suits me as before, lag, some applications crash ... .
I got installed a custom kernel and custom rom i would like to know if it's possible to go back to official kernel and official rom.
I know how to do to roll back to official rom but with the kernel i search a bit and dind't found the kernel.
I know that 's a tall order but appreciate it if someone could lend a hand and tell me I have to do.
Thanks in advance and follow so that this community helps a lot to people who are not expert in android.
Are you sure that flashing official firmware is the right decision? Loosing root and all the good things that come with it?
Lags and all that sh^@+ happens.. but I'll tell you somenting: it happens even more with official firmwares..
What I suggest you is to flash another custom rom (one of the latest) and see how it goes.
Anyway, answering to your question about the kernel: flashing an official rom you'll flash the official kernel too.

samsung galaxy tab 4 7.0 sm-t230 custom rom

Hello i cant find a custom rom for my tablet please let me know if you know a custom rom i can download
Srry for bad english☺
I also have an SM-T230. Sadly, due to the board, (this being the only device to use this board,) we are most likely never going to see one. If and when we do, that will be a good day. There is one called "Prism Bare Bones" which is the most you're going to get. I've found some CM11 builds, however I couldn't flash them in TWRP.

Which custom ROM to use?

Hi guys,
I need to update my phone as my current setup is having Bluetooth issues - and I read it happens on Android 4.3, but is fixed in 4.4 onwards.
I need a ROM which allows the following fixes:
1) Bypass security settings on emails that require you to put a PIN/Password to unlock your phone every single time.
2) Remove messages from the call log. Not sure if this was fixed in the newer android versions but it was very annoying when I first got my phone. I only want to see calls in my call log.
Can anyone recommend a ROM which will allow these fixes? I don't need any other features - just need something as light as possible.
Cheers
Wanam Xposed has the second option, you can use it on any stock based ROM, at the same time Arya Mod is the best TouchWiz based ROM available in my opinion, but it is by no means light. About the first option, I think Arya has that too, but not at all sure.
Thanks mate, will keep that in mind if I cant find a lighter a ROM.
Does anyone know of a light ROM which will do the above?
CHeers
Temasek cm roms are pretty good.
Norma N5 Port V15, Phronesis V4.1 good, i tested. MinimalOS is very fast and light but need some apps for default messages, etc
Hi guys,
I just noticed Wanam Xposed has the option to bypass exchange security. Therefore, I want to find a light ROM which is based on Android 4.4 or higher, and has the ability to use Wanam Xposed. What ROM would I be best to use?
Alternatively, could I just install the newest stock ROM, and then root it and install Wanam Xposed?
Cheers

The last time i read in order for xposed to work on lollipop, it has to be deodexed. Try multiX by tkari4. It's the only KK rom left supported here.
Sent from my SM-N920C
I second Temasecks Rom. It's Great.
I'm using Pronesis Rom ported from Note 5.
I think it's good enough, there are a few bugs but everything works great. I would recomend you to use this rom.
ALEXNDR Roms are great too if you dont want a custom rom that makes your android look like nothing.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2649176
I'm using Dark AU rom found on Samsungviet website, very stable even more than stock imho. It's a Note 5 rom ported for Note 3.
This rom has none of the issues you've mentioned. If you want to bypass security try using google's smart lock feature build into lollipop. If you want to open anything from the lock screen you will always need to unlock
