Could anyone of you guys kindly help me. I first flashed the unofficial Bliss rom based on cm13 first on my n910c. It was stable enough for daily use, maybe a bit rusty on kernel performance end but nothing too drastic. I however found one of my favourite and must have app Netflix would refuse to work on it whatsoever (loading spins forever when trying to play any movie/tv show). I have searched all over the net to understand why and now I also flashed this cm13 image to see if it could work in this rom. Result same issue!, I did the following and achieved no success
1) cache/dalvik clean and rebooted (the obvious) ALSO full factory wipe as well
2)a suggestion to rename/delete a certain liboencrypto.so
3)change my product model in build.prop
4)try a old xposed hack for tricking the app to think you are on unrooted phone
None of the above worked. I then flashed a lolipop simplerom5c image just to check if this issue is universal for all roms and I was wrong. Netflix ran with no issues in this one which uses a custom kernel and full rooted.
NOW MY actual question (pardon me for the boring and lengthy prologue)
Would flashing a custom kernel to CM13 for n910c possible? if so which one could anyone suggest? AND could it possible solve the dreaded Netflix issue?
So, I'm definitely not new to the world of running custom roms at all and am finding myself stuck in my current situation with no explanation as to what is wrong. I've literally ran almost every rom there is to offer the MXPE minus the nougat roms with the exception of AICP and CM14. All of a sudden now anything I flash just loops forever. I've tried even restoring to stock then starting over again at 5.1.1, rooting, and then the only thing that has successfully flashed have been TruPureXMM and Sabissimos stock rooted ROM. Has anyone else ran into this issue or can shed some light from past experiences, PLEASE, let me know.
Hi, I have a rooted verizon galaxy s7 (g930v) and i flashed some rom from here that a user uploaded that gives me the s8 icons and some other fancy stuff without too much affecting stock.
I read about getting a different kernel would allow the cpu frequencies and such to be more in your control, and I was wondering how i can go about getting a custom kernel.
The only problem here is, Almost every tut i've seen requires TWRP, and the last time i tried to install it, when i went into recovery booting, i would get in a bootloop, and i last heard it wasnt supported for the s7 anyway.
So I guess my question is, can someone link me a compatible version of twrp (if there even is any for the US variant on verizon), tell me how to install it, and please let me know with a link to a custom kernel that should work on my verizon galaxy s7?, with instructions on how to get it in my system? (I've read everywhere sorry for being a noob with kernels.)
I really wanna work on this and it's been driving me nuts! I would really appreciate any and all help i can get on this matter.
Thank you.

The bootloader on the Verizon S7 is locked. I believe with a locked bootloader you cannot load TWRP or a custom kernel. You are basically stuck with variations of the stock Verizon ROM with the stock kernel.

Damn, well in that case could you answer me this: I want to improve the performance of my phone without losing battery, I know tweaking the cpu and things of that sort could help, but in your personal opinion what would be the best way of controlling such things and their values? I've tried LSpeed, didn't really help, I used kernel adiutor, but one thing i noticed is that i think my system has its own cpu managing techniques, because if i went into kernel adiutor, set the min to 307, when i move my finger it shoots up to 900 then back down, in other people's videos of kernel adiutor i don't see that, any idea on what that's about?
I assume it's something in my system that's making my cpu do that, and i think that's why im not getting the snappy performance I crave. Any ideas?
Appreciate the help btw

Without a custom kernel, you can't tweak the CPU. Can't have a custom kernel on the S7 because of the locked bootloader. So there you go. I haven't tried messing with anything to improve the performance of my S7, so sorry I'm no help to you there.
So i have a nexus 6p running Resurrection Remix 8.1.0 with Elemental X Kernel installed and lately its been acting ****ty unlike before on RROS 7.1.2 with Franco Kernel. Now im noticing the big cores are offline alot and even the little cores and its ****ting on performance even as i type now it stutters. Not sure why its doing this but its agitating. Can someone help me please? This is sudden not sure if installing Viper4Android has something to do with it, but ive had majisk installed since i flashed rom and i havent had issues until recently.
I noticed the official MK2000 Kernel by @askermk2000 is closed, so I hope its OK to discuss here. There's a CLANG compiler edition of them floating around somewhere that actually is a great deal better (faster/smoother) that I don't see being mentioned around here much.
Only issue is that I've noticed my phone started rebooting randomly with it. I've suspected a hardware issue for a while so I picked up an additional H918, installed a different rom to test performance, and am now finding that it, too, occasionally reboots when coming out of sleep.
The only thing these two handsets have in common is that they are both H918 variants and are both running the latest 2.2 CLANG compiled edition of the MK2000 kernel. They are otherwise running different oreo firmwares (one stock, one Alpha Omega) and are both started fresh (no restore). I have to believe something is up with that kernel, but as we have a lack of Oreo kernels with Kcal currently, I'm hesitant to give it up. Has anyone had a similar experience, especially with the H918 variant?
Seems like a Kernel panic- the phone doesn't completely reboot (doesn't show the yellow warning screen) but starts back up from the T-mobile (in my case) loading screen.
Looks like you're getting soft reboots for some reason if it's starting at the boot animation screen (well, not much moving on the pink T-Mobile screen).
I haven't had such issues so far on my H918 running a data-only SIM card on Alpha Omega Oreo, using the latest mk2000 2.2-based kernel uploaded by Phoenix591 over here (no idea why there's also an LS997 version of the kernel as that variant's stock Oreo is unrootable) on Aug. 6. Are you using that exact same kernel?

I've been using the CLANG editions. I had the regular 2.2 previously, but someone recommended trying the Clang ones as they are superior in performance. Device didn't heat up, seemed pretty responsive and snappy, but man would it just **** the bed sometimes when we needed it most (usually happened upon wake up from sleep- imagine wanting to wake up to see the notification you just got and suddenly having the device reboot).
Good news is that I dirty reflashed AO rom and this time chose to leave stock Kernel intact and did NOT flash MK kernel on top of it, and now it seems to have eliminated the rebooting. It was definitely the kernel. I lose some things like KCAL, so I hope screen retention doesn't start happening on this model, but otherwise the phone seems much better now!
Screen retention will show up sooner or later, especially if you move between very light and very dark backgrounds. Once you see it, then you may want to look into some screen filter apps (non-rooted users do this, and you'll need to make sure that the app has an 'enable on boot/reboot' function) or try some of the other mk2000 Oreo kernel versions. All of askermk2000's kernels, including older versions, are still available over here in lots of subfolders.
