[KERNEL DISTRIBUTION RULES] Hot Topic! [Attn: ROM DEVs]

Just a reminder of some old rules that seem to be forgotten. We are not out to make the dev's lives harder or to be a pain in the neck. XDA has had issues in the past from kanging to malicious code in kernel's. They are based on the GPL and you are free to modify and distribute, however you must share your changes and cannot charge for your work. (my summary of the GPL). That's why when we distribute a kernel in a rom, we fall under the GPL guidelines and have to follow some simple rules to keep XDA and our members out of trouble. Thanks again to all the Dev's for your understanding and outstanding contributions.
Anyone providing a ROM with a Kernel include should mention and link what kernel is used.
This means either:
Stock kernel is used (OP has to say that)
OP uses a 3rd party kernel (from another user), then he has say that and link to the thread)
OP uses his own kernel in which case he has to upload sources as per GPL and XDA rules and link them. (Please note: sometimes only the ram disk of a stock kernel is modified, this does NOT fall under the GPL. Example: Making a stock kernel 'insecure')
Concerning GAPPS: CM and some other were asked by google to NOT include them. But only those parties. Everyone else can include them unless asked by the owner (ie Google) to remove them.
This also means in theory that everyone with a CM kang can include GAPPS, however most people don't (which is obviously fine too)
I don't think any OEM ROM was ever forced to remove GAPPS.

[ALL MUST READ] XDA-Developers and the GPL

Dear kernel and ROM developers.
According to GPL v2 license, under which kernels are released, kernels must be released with source code provided.
To be fully compliant, the thread must contain.
@ kernel devs
Successfully build and produce a valid output file, which is the same format as provided in the binary
Contain all source code, interface definition files, scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable (it is not required to include the actual compiler/toolchain, but sufficient information should be made available to obtain the SAME configuration, including compiler flags, as used to build the binary version as released
Example.
Kick-ass kernel
Built with android-toolchain 4.8 4.8-2013.05 (linking isn't a bad idea)
Branch used to compile (can be a direct link to git)
Name of the defconfig used in build
A short instruction about how to build it (not necessary, but useful)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
@ ROM devs
if ROM uses custom boot.img, the source must be provided. If it uses kernel by someone else, the kernel thread must be linked in the OP
if the ROM contains stock kernel, source must be linked (official site can be used)
Using a non GPL compliant kernel makes your ROM non compliant and subject to removal
Violation of GPL is in fact a breaking of the law, so I don't have to explain what could be a final of this.
More information can be found in the news written by pulser_g2.

[ROM] [SM-G920P] [DEBLOAT/DEODEX] TDH-JR (Just enough ROM) [v5.0]

Description
TDH-JR is a stock derived ROM that is extremely debloated, deodexed and comes with a highly stable, tunable and fast kernel (@tdhite Skyhigh). This ROM is not for those seeking a lot of UI tweaks, mods or otherwise. If you want that, go get BiggDaddy or similar. This ROM is about sticking as close as possible to stock less the bloat, though also extremely battery efficient, fast, clean and highly stable.
Screenshots
You can find Screenshot images in the Screenshots Tab.
Features
@tdhite Skyhigh kernel
@tdhite Hotspot/Tether fix
Netflix encryption fix
Deodexed
Extremely Debloated (Just enough ROM to Use, add your own apps)
Knox Removed
MobileID Removed
SuperSU Rooted (Prior to QF1 Release)
Magisk Rooted (QF1 and beyond).
Busybox (Not where Magisk is used as you must use the Magisk Module due to Magisk incompatibilities).
Essential build.prop and default.prop tweaks
Passes SafetyNet.

How to Install
READ THE DISCLAIMER BEFORE INSTALLING!
Assure you are on the appropriately similar firmware (see Previous Releases above for the correct firmware for prior releases of this ROM).
Make a backup of your existing rom (TWRP nandroid is best)
Backup apps as desired (e.g., via Titanium Backup)
Place the ROM flashable downloaded from the link(s) above in internal storage (e.g., /sdcard)
Boot into TWRP Recovery
Wipe Cache, Dalvik in all cases, Data if you are not dirty flashing.
Dirty flashing coming from pure stock may work, but no promises
Dirty flashing over a previous, clean install of this ROM should work fine
Flash (i.e., Install in TWRP) the ROM flashable zip
Reboot (to System)
Enjoy!
Dirty Flashing
Generally dirty flashing over stock setups should work fine, losing no settings. To do so:
Upgrade to corresponding Firmware version (e.g., QF1) in Odin (or if you already have, no need);
Copy the downloaded zip flashable to somewere in /sdcard (let's just presume that dir for now);
Load TWRP Recovery;
Backup your existing Stock QA2 ROM;
Wipe Dalvik, Cache, System (Data optionally);
Install this ROM from where you copied it (e.g., /sdcard/TDH-JR-G920P-QA2.zip);
Reboot to System -- it will take a good long time (and likely at least one reboot), just hang with it;
Once up, if you did not use the 'Briefing' Page in your UI, just turn it of again -- upgrades generally turn it back on;
Enjoy.
After installing this ROM, the initial boot will take many minutes and will likely reboot at least once during its initial setup sequence. Many operations are taking place (e.g., Dalvik regeneration, Synapse support setup, etc.).

any increase in SOT ?

There is one thing, and one thing only that dominates SOT with screens like on the S6. Reduced brightness.
For the rest, such as CPU usage diffs between screen off and on, voltages, core stuffing, hotplugging, and all the rest, yes, that is all covered for max SOT (mostly due to the kernel).

Thanks @tdhite I'm downloading ATM, I'll report back after the installation. :good:

Please provide stock kernel as a flashabe zip for those who want to use stock kernel.

May give this one a go tomorrow. I've been on stock rooted for awhile now.

My Skyhigh port is the stock kernel as its base with relevant (and many) commits on top to provide tuning access and additional features necessary to have rock solid, fast and efficient operations. The use of stock kernel in this scenario is not really in my plans for this ROM, but thanks for the suggestion none the less. The main reason for that is really about battery and efficiency, the stock kernel is simply too unsophisticated in certain areas due to it being quite a bit behind the standard Linux commits.

how can I use this rom if I'm on G920PVPU3CPF4, I bought another s6, its a sprint and unlocked getting ready to root this one and install TWRP, id really like to use this rom.

Whatever recovery you are using is suggesting you do *not* have a Sprint Galaxy S6. Your best bet is post the output of "getprop" in your recovery so we can determine what you actually have.

There are no tunings for speeding up the operations taking place. I does take a bit, understood. Much of the time is involved in setting up (injecting) SELinux policy properly, checking/fixing telephony databases for hotspot fix, running various processes for optimizations (cortexbrain, setting up crond, etc.). If you compute the percentage of uptime between boot and overall use, it is (normally, anyway) much, much, much less than even 0.1% of the time.

Not quite sure what you want me to get out of that image?

Sorry for my mistake. I used wrong TWRP. I install success now. Just don't have mobile data toggle and sometimes Samsung DM service and System Update show in status bar. It's so annoying.

Unable to get Bluetooth to work. Will not find anything.
Thanks

Good lightweight ROM but I cant set my lockscreen wallpaper because the wallpaper app has been removed..

I just shared this for those who was asking about battery life.

Update: Got it !!! ?
? I went ahead and started different version of TWRP to get that error go away and it actually stuck this time with no seandroid error, soon as it loaded I went in the TWRP I wiped my delvik and cache at the same time first then I did data all by itself and just in case I got the error again I left system alone I took a chance because I really didn't want to Flash over the bloated stock but I took a chance with it and it worked and it stuck like glue, yeaaaaa

CHANGELOG:
This ROM is built from a maintenance release OTA from the previous build (OCPS27.91-140-1). This update includes Motorola Mobility's standard bug fixes, stability improvements, and Android security patches through December 1, 2018. The Baseband Version (radio firmware) was not updated and remains at version M8920_21.11.11.62R. Hence, I did not include a Baseband updater in the downloads section. The bootloader partitions and partition index (GPT) were updated via the OTA. However, these were merely maintenance type updates and no substantial changes were made. For those members wishing to fully update their devices to OCPS27.91-140-3, I have included a partition updater in the downloads section.
REQUIREMENTS:
An unlocked bootloader and TWRP custom recovery are needed to install this ROM. If you do not have TWRP installed, visit XDA Senior Member @CodyF86's thread on TWRP for this device here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e5/development/recovery-twrp-moto-e-5-play-james-t3796323 Also, be sure and thank @CodyF86 if you use his work.
INSTRUCTIONS:
**It is recommended that you first update your device partitions to the corresponding ROM build. Just download the partition updater below and install it with TWRP.
1. Download the ROM zip from the download link below and store it on your device's internal or external storage;
2. Boot your device into TWRP recovery mode;
3. Wipe System, Data, Cache & Dalvik/ART;
4. Select Install, navigate to the saved location of the ROM zip, select the file, and swipe the action bar to commence installation;
5. Once installation is finished, reboot system;
6. Done.
BUGS:
No known bugs. Please report any bugs in comments, with as much detail and clarity as possible. For members with knowledge on submitting bug reports, those are most helpful. Please so not post about bugs if you are using a custom kernel or if you are running ststem-based mods on this ROM (system-wide Xposed Framework, etc.). These types of modifications make it nearly impossible to properly diagnose a bug, or to determine the true source of the actual instability. Because this ROM is mostly pure stock, there should be no apparent instabilities or bugs outside of those possibly present within the factory stock build.
THANKS & MENTIONS:
I'd like to mention and give thanks to XDA Senior Member @CodyF86 for his hard work building TWRP for the James, and for his tutorials on TWRP & unlocking the bootloader. Also, thanks to the great @topjohnwu for his Magisk Universal Systemless Interface and his systemless root installer. Thanks to @osm0sis for his static BusyBox binary installer and his Magisk Modules.
