DOWNLOAD KERNEL ZIP


Warning: If you come from other kernel, you should dirty flash your ROM before flashing blu_spark zip to avoid problems.
Reflash ROM -> flash SuperSU -> Boot device and install busybox -> flash blu_spark.
Also uninstall or clean data of any kernel control app you're using.

Root is now available in Marshmallow 6.0 in enforced mode thanks to chainfire.
In stock (or stock derived) ROMs follow the steps bellow. In pre rooted custom ROMs you should only need to flash blu_spark zip

1. Just go to SuperSU thread and download the kernel zip http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/wip-android-6-0-marshmellow-t3219344
2. Extract the boot.img (not a flashable zip)
3. Go to recovery, flash boot.img, flash SuperSU v2.50+, flash blu_spark
4. Profit

Cache and Data: Beware you will loose al your scared content if you come from ext4, backup your stuff.

So far I like. Its big but the quality of screen on surf and watching HD movies and such.
Also performance is amazing, specially with encryption off.
Battery is not that bad, on my daily task seems to last a little longer than hammerhead. During the night no t even 1% drop
The downsides I found so far: vibrator seems more loose and rattle a little.
The screnn colors are good, but it goes pink on low brightness. But this is not really an issue, I can't use so low brightness even at night, seems like minimum level of hammerhead with dimmer on 2: is just too low.
