Just because the firmware was leaked doesn't mean that other variants weren't at a similar or advanced stage of development. The N920T has to go through the carpet carrier before release where many other variant do not. Same for G928C being 6.0.1 released.

Anyway, you should get yourself SkyHigh MM v2.2 ;)

I think you are having trouble understanding the instructions mate here is what you do find twrp for you device and skyhigh flash twrp in odin make sure you keep skyhigh in the device or storage anywhere you like then reboot into recovery and go to install and install skyhigh zip from where you saved it in your device storage wait for it to finish and reboot then download synapse and tweak to hearts content

Or how about reading and following the TWRP installation instructions which can be found in, ....... drum roll....... TWRP thread. I guarantee there are many guides written and video etc on how to use Odin. There should be no excuse. And all this is nothing to do with this thread.

Anyway, I've stopped 5.1.1 development and support here. This thread will close. Thanks to all users of supported devices with their constructive feedback and input.

    CHANGE-LOG

    1. Open GitHub Change-Logs
    2. Tap/click "Full Change log" under the latest version (i.e. v4.5)
    3. Example: ALL commits (changes) for v4.4 > v4.5 are visible at the top section
    4. Tap/click any commit and will display all comments in the top section and code changes in the bottom section for particular commit

    REQUIREMENTS

    1. Variant support for:
      SM-N920C / CD / G / I
      SM-N9200
      SM-N9208_SEA (SM-N9208_TW reported to work, but no official support)​
    2. Watch >>> THIS <<<
    3. FOR BUG REPORTING: Stock UNMODIFIED TouchWiz (TW) 5.1.1 ROM (this means no Xposed or tweaks etc)
    4. Custom recovery i.e.. TWRP

    INSTALLATION

    1. If you have systemless root installed, then you must REMOVE it as this kernel will auto-root a proven and stable 2.52 binary into system.
      Open SuperSU app
      Select "Full unroot" option
      Reboot (or flash kernel)
      Re-install SuperSU app​
    2. Uninstall any CPU control apps, tweaks and init.d scripts etc.
    3. Recommend: Disable or remove KNOX (you can disable with Synapse once kernel is flashed)
    4. Install Synapse app from Google Play and rate it ☆☆☆☆☆ !!
    5. Device Settings:
      Enable Developer Options > OEM UNLOCK
      If flashing from any custom kernel with Synapse app > Device settings > Applications > Synapse > Force Stop > clear data​
    6. If not installed > Install SuperSU from Google Play:
    7. N9200/N9208: unlock your bootloader >> Install and run CROM service unlock app from Galaxy App Store (this will probably wipe your accounts). If you have problems with CROM, try without it !
    8. Boot into custom recovery and flash SkyHigh_kernel____.zip FOR YOUR DEVICE and reboot
    9. After boot:
      a) wait at least 120 secs to stabilize
      b) Open Synapse
      c) Tap "Understood"
      d) DO this step so some defaults are set !!
      1. tap the square menu button top right hand corner
      2. tap the three dots button
      3. "select all globally"
      4. tap the back button next to it
      5. apply​

    Help and FAQ

    THREAD RULES & PROTOCOLS FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT THREAD:

    I might not have your device variant and or able to reproduce your "issue". With this in mind, without providing as much information as possible, and resetting your device to a stable unmodified baseline, any potential troubleshooting or logs could be meaningless. So please follow the guidelines set out below. Thanks

    BY POSTING YOUR ISSUES IN THIS THREAD, YOU ARE AGREE TO HELP YOURSELF FIRST BY PROVIDING INFO REGARDING:

    Code: 
    1. DEVICE MODEL ?
2. ROM and firmware version (build number, boot-loader etc) ?
3. EXACT steps taken to reproduce YOUR issue
4. Screen-shots (if applicable)
5. Did you read Posts #1-3 completely?
6. Did you search the thread, XDA or GOOGLE?
7. Did you follow the install instructions EXACTLY?
8. What was your previous kernel?
9. Do you have any other known kernel tweaking apps, scripts or mods? ([B]remove them[/B]). [COLOR="Red"]This includes Xposed etc[/COLOR]
10. Try older kernel (if available)
11. Factory reset ?
12. Try latest stock [B]UNMODIFIED[/B] firmware (without custom ROM - if you have installed) and factory reset
13. Delete your ROM BusyBox (kernel uses it's own in /sbin)


    ONLY IF YOU HAVE TRIED SUGGESTIONS ABOVE:

    Turn on logging in Synapse and save logs AT TIME OF ERROR. AND post together with ALL the above information.

    ELSE, DON'T WASTE MY TIME, YOU WILL BE IGNORED AND/OR POST REPORTED !!

    THANK YOU :good:


    NO FAST CHARGE

    • If using the pathetic original cable, try disconnect and reconnect the USB cable whilst power is still turned on to the charger
    • Use a thicker / better cable, will work every time (ie. Note4 OEM cable)

    CAN I BUILD A KERNEL FOR YOUR __XX DEVICE ?


    I will not build for any device that I can not compile using SAME source, personally test method or debug. Some device variants can compile with same source.
    • Sorry. I don't have the spare time for any more variant support.

    "NO UCI SUPPORT"

    It's a ROM busybox compatibility issue

    Three choices:

    1. Device > settings > applications > Synapse > force close & wipe data and REBOOT

    OR

    1. Remove your ROM busybox from /system xbin and /system/bin (Synapse will use the kernel busybox in /sbin).
    2. Force stop Synapse and delete app data (device settings > applications)
    3. Re-flash kernel as per Installation Instructions

    OR

    1. Try install a different busybox
    2. Force stop Synapse and delete app data (device settings > applications)
    3. Re-flash kernel as per Installation Instructions

    Synapse or BACKUP/RESTORE ISSUES

    It's a ROM busybox or sqlite3 compatibility issue

    1. Remove both your ROM busybox & sqlite3 from /system xbin and /system/bin (Synapse will use it's own from kernel /sbin).
    2. Device > settings > applications > Synapse > force close & wipe data
    3. Reboot or re-flash kernel as per Installation Instructions

    BACKUP & RESTORE

    1. DO NOT restore profiles from different kernel version
    2. Refer to THIS post for "how-to" screen-shots
    3. Refer to THIS post for a "how-to" video (thanks @aldoblaga )

    LOADABLE MODULES AREN'T WORKING

    • Check your /system/lib/modules directory. Are any ____.ko present?
    • Did you flash a ROM or wipe the system partition at any point? Doing this will remove them !
    • Re-flash the kernel will install the modules.
    • If modules aren't installed after flash, then re-flash and manually mount system in recovery first.
    • You can check running modules in terminal with:
      Code: 
      lsmod

    KTOONSERVATIVE GOVERNOR

    DT2W & COLOUR CONTROL

    • No, I cannot make it work properly with single source for all supported variants

    CPU POWER CONSUMPTION

    F2FS SUPPORT


    STUCK ON SAMSUNG BOOT LOGO AFTER FLASH

    1. Ensure you flashed the correct kernel for your device model
    2. Ensure your download is not corrupted. Check MD5 hash or re-download
    3. Your current base firmware (ROM, boot-loader version etc.) may be incompatible - UPDATE to latest with Odin and try again.

    "Unauthorized actions have been detected, reboot to undo changes"

    As it's a common warning found with all KNOX enabled android devices, you would have found the answer by Google search and also that it is actually unrelated to kernel and also unrelated to this kernel development..............
    It is caused by the process of rooting/modifying your device. Unless you use KNOX, don't worry.
    [Q] How to disable
    [A] Freeze or delete your KNOX & Security related apps/processes manually (using root explorer or titanium backup (pro) or use Synapse > Security > disable KNOX


    CAN I USE OTHER KERNEL CONTROL APPS


    • No, many features and options won't be available. Remove all other control apps to avoid conflicts !
    • Synapse is the recommended and has everything you need ;)

    BATTERY TIPS


    • Try some (or combination) of the CPU MULTICORE features in Synapse:
      HMP profile = Battery
      Power Aware Scheduling (slight performance cost) = Enabled
      HMP LITTLE Packing (slight performance cost) = Enabled
      PEWQ (power-efficient workqueue) (slight performance cost) = Enabled​
    • Set A57 & A53 Interactive governor profile = Battery
    • Set Input-Booster for key/touchkey profile = Battery
    • Multi-tasking: enable UKSM & "low" or "quiet" profile (slight performance/battery cost)
    • Set all Advanced wake-lock controls to 1, except GPS. Set it to 4
    • Set WiFi wakelock control to 2 or 3


    PERFORMANCE TIPS


    • Set A57 & A53 Interactive governor profile = Performance
    • Set A57 & A53 Interactive governor = Turbo Mode (battery cost)
    • Once in a while:
      Optimize Databases
      FSTrim​


    RANDOM REBOOT

    1. Don't UV or UC CPU or GPU
    2. Use SkyHigh defaults
    3. Use a stock UNMODIFIED ROM for your device variant
    4. No tweaks, Xposed or other CPU control apps installed

    ASV_GROUP (ALL DEVICES ARE NOT CREATED EQUAL)

    This is an example from my Exynos5420 source. Similar idea for Exynos420

    CAN I INCLUDE SkyHigh KERNEL IN MY ROM

    1. Although I do appreciate your contribution here, if you could please do not include my kernel in any ROM package etc. This policy goes for anyone.
    2. Having my kernel distributed outside my development thread just removes a lot of credit and more importantly, constructive user feedback that could be helpful to my development or user issue.

    DOWNLOAD LINK NOT WORKING

    1. I want to keep this project all in one place - ☆☆ NO MIRRORS ☆☆
    2. Please try again in a few minutes

    POOR CPU/GPU BENCHMARK or GRAPHICS PERFORMANCE

    1. Disable any CPU MULTICORE options in Synapse
    2. Disable any Battery profiles in Synapse. Set to default or Performance.
    3. Allow the device to cool. Repetitive testing will heat the device hardware and invoke thermal throttling and lead to decreased benchmark.
    4. HIGH CPU/GPU OC >> excessive heat >> thermal throttling >> reduced clock frequency >> DECREASE PERFORMANCE

    DYNAMIC MANAGEMENT OF DIRTY PAGE WRITEBACKS

    * [Christopher83]

    This feature allows to have two different intervals for dirty page
    writebacks and to dynamically manage them when the system has been
    resumed (it's active) or when has been suspended.

    Three new procfs parameters are exposed inside /proc/sys/vm path:
    - dynamic_dirty_writeback is the activation status of this feature,
    set 1 to enable it, set 0 to disable it and use the standard behaviour
    - dirty_writeback_active_centisecs is the interval for the dirty page
    writebacks when the system is active (screen on)
    - dirty_writeback_suspend_centisecs is the interval for the dirty page
    writebacks when the system is suspended (screen off)

    This feature is in part inspired on Francisco Franco's patch:
    https://github.com/franciscofranco/mako/commit/34d79548cf16b69c7d0154836018e7f258a22947

    TCP/IP NETWORK SECURITY


    * Thanks to zeppelinrox & V6SuperCharger
    1. Hardening the TCP/IP stack to SYN attack
    2. Bump up tw_buckets in case we get DoS'd
    3. Ignore pings
    4. Don't cache connection metrics from previous connection
    5. Don't pass traffic between networks or act as a router
    6. Enable spoofing protection (turn on reverse packet filtering)
    7. Don't accept source routing
    8. Don't accept redirects

    CHROMECAST - STREAMING PROBLEMS


    * Thanks to @AtLmd Post
    • Lock screen MUST be enabled (simple screen lock swipe) I don't know why but it breaks the chromecast app's ability to resume smoothly if switched off
    • Synapse > Network > DTIM (both screen ON & OFF) = 1
    • Synapse > Network > WIFI Power Mode (screen OFF) = FAST

    BUGS:
    1. Disabling "Turbo Mode" will screw up frequency scaling. So if you have disabled any time, you need to REBOOT !!
    2. Changing Interactive governor profiles when Interactive is not used, will result in Synapse display errors. Nothing to worry, no need to change the profile if Interactive it not used !

    Have fun :)

    Cheers
