Rooting and keeping with the stock kernel - Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

It's month now when SGS6E+ is out in the wild and we don't have many devs in the comunity so far... I greately appreciate the only custom kernel we have, but what about just rooting, and keeping stock at the same time? Pure stock and root.
I still can't find any solution for such a basic need: a stock rooted kernel. You can say: hey there is one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/s6-edge-plus/development/auto-rooting-stock-kernels-s6-edge-plus-t3194607/
..but when I went thru the comments... so many issues... Why?
Truely speaking, i tried to compile my own kernel, but... I'm a noob and only achieved to set up the environment: ubuntu... all the needed packages... but then I noticed there were no newest sources for G928F on samsung site....G928FXXU1AOH4. Even if they were available, I would rather fail building it
Any ideas?

[Q] loop devices, does the stock kernel support them?!

n00b here to XDA and Android, 1st post, here we go..
Currently running international GN3, ROOTED omegadroid ROM with a stock kernel and trying to run linux on android(complete linux installer).
failing miserably and researched my list of probable faults back to no loop device support for my kernel.
My question(s) as the title so simply puts it is does the GN3 stock kernel have loop device support, if not is this something i could change myself? For my information how could i check?
Does anyone know of a kernel (for SM-N9005) that has this support? (I looked to no success[maybe im retarded])
If no then are there any ways in which i could help in the development of this feature for the kernel.
Also post if you have had any success with running linux ontop of android.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Cheers guys!
I've spent hours trying to find a solution to this and as far as I know the stock kernel does not. And I have yet to find a custom kernel that does either. I would graciously donate some money to a dev that could build one
SM-N9005 stock rooted 4.4.2
Leankernel on jb worked fine for chrooted linux for me.

How to develope a Custom Rom

Hi Guys,
maybe this was asked before but I will ask especially for Samsung. So how does it work to develope a Custom Rom, based on a Stock Firmware?
I have a Galaxy S4-GT9515 and since there is no Custom Rom, I am thinking about playing around with it now. There are so many issues (Battery Drain,...), this ******* bloatware and i am using my Moto G now.
I develope little apps for Android, but i am not an expert. Rooting, Flashing Customs Roms and so on, using ADB is nothing new for me.
Do you guys have some basic tutorials for me? And where can I get Samsungs Stock firmwares? And what is about the Kernel? How to modify?

Noobie help for rooting and different OS?

Hi all,
Still have my Note 3 and enjoying it but realise it is slightly long in the tooth and slowing down, so I am thinking of breathing some life back into the old girl and installing a new OS, recommendations and guides would be kindly received?
There are, till now, 40 million tutorials on the web on how to. So...
I'm using Audax L Rom since last year with stock kernel selected. This is running very well. I can recommend it.
You can find it in the forum here.
I installed it the short way without taking care of knox, because note 3 was already out of waranty.
Regards

Thanks for the reply, again scuse the noobie question, but I hear Knox is major draw on the phone's system, I presume a root and a new OS would get rid of this, also would all my apps work on the new OS, is this dependant on which one I install?
Audax L Rom is already de-knox-ed.
Usually all apps will work unless they don't rely on a specific kernel (usually stock).
For those you can select to use the stock kernel during installation. (Like i do. )
Apps which need knox won't work on this rom, of course.
I always preferred Cyanogenmod, thus I recommend temasek's CM13 builds + OpenGapps STOCK, see my sig which always shows up to date what I use and consider a good daily driver for home and company use

Why are there no custom kernels?

Hi
This is NOT a hurry up devs thread of any kind or anything like that. I can't develop myself and I really appreciate all the hard work the devs on this forum are doing.
I'm just curious why the rom development is so active, while the kernel development is completely dead (at the time being). I also had the S6 and I found it different there.. The kernel devs was pretty damn active.
Is it normal that the rom development start right away and kernels after a few months? Also, is it because there is no need for it anymore cause of system-less root? I think I read somewhere that you needed a custom kernel before that, but now you can root and run custom roms on stock kernel.
I just love custom kernels, as those can really speed up the phone and improve battery life

Newcomer looking for some assistance

Hey XDA, I've been reading through the forums on threads regarding Galaxy A5 SM-A510F (2016)
There are some threads gathering up roms but as this is my first time, apart from messing up a locked S2, I would appreciate some pointers as to the most acknowledged and thoroughly made roms. I'm rooting to see if this phones CPU can be used better than how Android 6 Marshmallow currently is.
I have read countless rom flashing guides and am pretty certain i am able to successfully flash stuff onto my phone, what i need to know is which roms to go for.
I appreciate any comments what so ever, cheers!
Welcome to XDA! There aren't really any roms for the a510f unfortunately. The only ROMs seem to be deodexed rooted touchwiz ROMs. Here's a list of them: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sam...s-samsung-a5-2016-thread-knowed-roms-t3474745
No cm or aosp for your phone yet.

Hey @arathergreendoid, thank you for your reply!
I think i have mixed up some stuff, i hope you can clarify.
I have stumbled upon something called CF-auto-root. Now after reading through that im a bit confused.
Is a ROM necesarry for rooting a phone? It seems to me ROMs re vamp phones in different ways, but that with auto root, it stays with the same system but rooted.
Thanks
Thats right. You don't have to install a custom ROM after rooting. You'll still be on Samsung's stock skin, but you can install xposed etc to get quite a few features of custom ROMs.
