Development [KERNEL][12/13][A528B/N] Mesa's Custom Kernel R6

[BlackMesa123]

that's right, vol+ w/ magisk, vol- w/o magisk. I chose vol+ ie. w/ magisk. but I don't see magisk app. I' don't have much experience in using magisk but and I'm wondering if I need to install something more like magisk manager to take advantage of installed magisk.

Yes you do have to install the Magisk Manager app separately.

I installed the kernel, did vol+ to install with Magisk, then when I loaded the Magisk Manager app (latest Canary app) it says it's N/A.. Also using latest NcX.

EDIT: Flashing the apk in TWRP did the trick. Thanks for the epic kernel

Release 6 is out now, this release contains some additional tweaks/adjustments compared to the previous one. As you might've noticed, I've decided to also release an AOSP version for the new upcoming AOSP ROM's based on @Simon1511 work, if you've currently installed LineageOS/PE/crDroid or any other AOSP ROM, please flash the MCK AOSP variant or you'll have some issues such as FOD not working. One UI/GSI's users can keep flashing the Vanilla R6 zip. Legacy R3 zip is still there in case you're using an older Android version and you're having issues with the latest kernel release (which should work just fine on Android 11/12).

How does it affect battery when watching vids and maxing out the cpu/gpu aka. Playing games?

What are the main differences between R5 and R6 rather than the Vanilla/AOSP versions?

There really isn’t a specific way to measure this. Try it out yourself, if you’re not satisfied you can revert to the stock kernel by restoring your previous boot/vendor_boot/vendor/dtbo partitions.

Yeah, thing is i didn't unlock the bootloader yet so i wanted to see if its worth it, but i guess i will do it either way now, i will post my results later.

!!!NO SETTING WAS CHANGED AFTER THE INITAL SETUP!!!
If you have any questions to the tests, feel free to ask them.

Pros/Cons:
- Really there are only Pros so here you go:
- Magisk (you can probably double your SOT time when watching tiktok/youtube with SmartHertz)
- Integrated Camera Fix
- Same/Better performance

Newest AOSP kernel is fantastic with Pixel Experience, thanks for your work!

Hi,

Any idea how to get rid of this SSRM prompt, which shows after every reboot? It's kinda annoying :/ I'm on stock FW.

This kernel actually helped me get rid of the camera bug, so I'm grateful for that. Safetynet fixes / zygisk / systemless hosts or whatever didn't do the trick for me.

Which Kernel?

[Darayavahus]

For those struggling with google wallet neglecting their banking card, use this safetynet version. 2.4.0 and 2.2.1 doesn't appear to be working at all.

As there's a problem with SSRM "fix" removing aps from add-list in battery options of system settings, I have attached the modified Samsung DeviceHealthManagerService.APK for those who have the SSRM prompt on stock kernel.

First of all - Use it at YOUR OWN RISK. It worked for me, it might not for you. But I can't think of the reason why it wouldn't, really.

Prerequisites:

1. Stock firmware / I'm using blackmesa123 kernel on top of it
2. Working root, obviously

How to:
1. Download attached file and copy it to your device (SG A52S 5g)
2. Remove "Samsung device health manager service" from your device. I used lucky patcher for that. Use what works for you
3. Copy the file apk to system\app folder with root permission. Use EX File manager from google play or anything you like, which will allow you to use it in 'root mode'.
4. Reboot
5. Verify if you can add apps to deepsleep in battery options in system settings, and whether the prompt is gone from the initial post reboot screen

In case of any failure - download stock apk from here and install it as mentioned above.

DeviceHealthManagerService IS NOT boot critical application. I had it uninstalled completely and system booted without any hiccups.

I followed the instructions to the letter. The SSRM warning didn't go away, I could add apps to the sleep and deep sleep. The worse thing is that it made my partitions read only and I couldn't rename, delete or copy anything to my system. So I was unable to put back the backup of the SamsungDeviceHealthManagerService and delete your file. Had to do a complete reinstall of firmware. I did notice that even though I didn't rename your file but copied it as is to system/app it was renamed after reboot to SamsungDeviceHealthManagerService so not sure what went wrong...

An official fix for the SSRM warning at boot will be included in the next MCK release. https://github.com/BlackMesa123/and...mmit/831efea0b6414ed403131c698a966e41f6a8c061

The kernel supports all the bootloaders regardless of the RP rev.

Sorry for the noob question, but what is RP rev?
