Introduction
SimplKernel is developed by SimplTeam. We originate from the Note4 and have a long story of success there. Our builds are known for being close to stock, yet full of useful features and enhancements. The aim is to provide maximum performance and maximum batterylife. No compromises.

Features

# Based on latest G925FXXU1AOE3
# NightClock fully fixed
# Compiled with AARCH64-Android-4.8 toolchain - Kudos Google, this is one is awesome
# Replaced CPU_FREQ_RELATION_L with C for Interactive -> selects freq with min euclidean distance to target freq, should be more efficient
# MDNIE ColorControl fixing it...
# VoltageControl (CPU, GPU, HPM, BUS)
# Underclocking by default
# Full Synapse Support
# SELinux mode set to Permissive
# Governors added: powersave, intellidemand, ondemand, bluactive and intelliactive
# busybox and init.d

--> More will be added, this is just the start :angel:

NO MIRRORS. If I see one it will be reported straight away without any mercy and builds will be suspended. Have some respect and read and follow this please. If you need a mirror, please tell my why and we'll take a look.​

If you apply Interactive in Synapse, ALWAYS enable it for both clusters. Enabling it for only one will cause funny effects, perhaps even a solid chaos, batterydrain and other unpleasant things. You've been warned.​

I can't keep up with my own speed :angel:

Fixes
Knox Popups and Warnings
Apparently Samsung decidedadd some Knox-Upgrades, which will not be so happy about my change to Permissive and tell you about this in even more annoying ways. The best solution would be a custom Rom which ships de-knoxed, but since this phone is brand-new, and you likely run stock, here is the manual way:

- Download TitaniumBackup (yet again, the Pro version is great, so please support the dev for the awesome work)
- Remove the app "Security Log" (thanks for reporting this @Cr4z33)

Wifi settings forgotten after reboot
- Go to build.prop
- Find: ro.securestorage.support
- Replace the default true value with false
- Attention: Might break PrivateMode, not tested on the S6 yet
//Automatic Fix will be added in v1.2


AMOLED CinemaMod in Display settings has distorted colors! :crying:
Flash the normal R4F. This only happens with the ViewFinderFix build. Choose the lesser of both evils.

Great, but not my Viewfinder is distorted..
Pull down the statusbar or flash the regular build.

Help, I can't edit the A53 Maximum Frequency!
Welcome to the club. We're having permission problems and weren't able to fix them yet. Rest should work fine.

Synapse is covered in Red.. Errors everywhere.. What did you do now?
No worries, just install the following Busybox to xbin (should be default) and reboot:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busyboxSome settings aren't sticking for me..
We are aware of this and are trying to figure out a fix. For now this problem should mostly be limited to the A53 max frequency.

No GPS? Try this:

Advisory to Kangers:

We all value and keep the spirit of OpenSource alive here at XDA. Please work clean and use Cherry-Picks or otherwise provide information about the origin of changes. SimplTeam is watching XDA with hawk-eyes and will report Kanging and Ripoffs to the XDA team, where it will be dealt with accordingly. Please don't make this neccesary and behave like a grown up. Lets keep the fairness and developer-spirit in our heart, since this is what drives us here.

SimplKernel 5.1.1 / Only for G925F

Only for G925F (5.1.1 BOFJ), NO OTHER variant
​

This applies especially here:

###Disclaimer### 
Your warranty is now void. We are not responsible if your phone will be damaged, broken, bootlooping or detonating in a thermonuclear reaction.
YOU are choosing to make these modifications and accept the fact that something might go wrong.

Not quite ready yet, but it should mostly work..

This is NOT a stable build. No proper stability tests have been run, besides me using it all day long.

changelog

- Based on BOFJ 5.1.1
- Removed Bluactive and Intelliactive / Not exactly due to my free will
- Rest almost identical to previous RXF

Read this!!!
Okay. This is an earlier build which I ran for testing. Synapse is working and just about everything that ran on RXF does as well.
I have no proper changelog, since I spent all day on fighting the new SBoot.. No idea if my Zone_DMA is inside, my Git History is weird and this
was just supposed to be a testbuild...

Known Issues
Opening Synapse will lead to random vibration. Might go away after a while, did for me. This vibration might carry on randomly onwards, altough it only happened to me like once. I haven't seen random reboots, but that doesn't mean that there won't be any. But I don't think that there will be, but you never know.
Better safe than sorry

Having said this, I'm running this build all day long and haven't felt the need to throw it away yet.
This is not the final version, but it should be a mostly good running snapshot for those of you who can't wait anymore.
As this is more experimental than other builds, please report issues asap.

Only for G925F, running 5.1.1 BOFJ. NO OTHER phone or earlier version.

What about W8 Canadian S6 edge?

Hi. If you are willing to beta test, I'll happily add support for it
I can only publish tested builds, and I don't have a S6 Edge yet, so the more testers help me, the more versions I can add

Is it possible to flash this kernel through Flashfy? I don't have TWRP installed.

PS. Sorry, look into zip and find some folders in /system with modules etc. There's no way to use flashify as I see((

Knox and root Permissive don't go well together. So Sammy added new security measures again.. Until there is a custom Rom witj removed Knox, you'll need to do that manually. Can you tell me how you deleted it? I'll add it to the second post
