If you want to build your own kernel with root kernel

Follow this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74724162&postcount=2793

After step 1 when the ramdisk folder is created, open [email protected]

After this:
Code:
```
on early-init
    # Set init and its forked children's oom_adj.
    write /proc/1/oom_score_adj -1000
```
Add this line:
Code:
```
# selinux
    write /sys/fs/selinux/enforce 0
```
Then save the file and go ahead with other rootkernel steps, this will set selinux to permissive mode, this is needed to run eXistenZ.

Free ram identical to stock.
This is deodexed, there's no difference in speed between odex and deodex since ART.
It should work on dual sim but only one sim, no time to do a dual sim add on actually.

Try and let us know

What about performance and battery? Any optimizations for those?

GoBx · Dec 23, 2016 at 4:45 PM

I was very pleased with Existenz Rom on my Z2.
I'm happy too with Romaur v3.1.1 on XZ.
Downloading now, I'll have a try.
It's Chrismas time, how do you want me to choose between whisky and chocolate, I love both

The Rome is really good and runs very smoothly. For me it is the best Rome, but I have a problem. If I want to install super su via TWRP it will hang after the boot logo. As shown in Fig.

Hi sorry for my ignorance but every time I flash it via twrp I get a corrupt data error

Why the file size is close to 2.5 G? Larger than FTF firmware?
