Some users reported a problem while installing. Will post a new topic when i have an answer or a solution to this problem
EDIT : Use links on my last post and flash the small flashable zip in attachments to install recent version until i fix the problem. Thanks
Welcome all!
First of all, im not responsible for anything that may happen to your device! By installing custom recovery, automatically voids you warranty and set your knox to 0x1 so if you dont care, continue!
I personally thank you ALL for testing my rom!
If you face a bug please report it in bug section by clicking here
If you have a request, report it to feature requests by clicking here
Version 1.1.x - Stands for De-odexed system on DOB5. Will receive every new update and in every update, i will try to port them in small flashable zips for you to be easier to upgrade
Version 1.2.x - Stands for De-odexed system on DOD3. The same as V1.1.x for the updates
This rom will be completely yours!. You will decide what to change and what to add. I will try to make polls that you will vote about the new feature, and please write on this topic your thoughts and what you want to be ported.
I will reject everything that slows down the device!
When all i9506 move on to DOD3 or DOD1, the development of DOB5 will stop.
I tripped Knox Warranty to 0x1 in order to be able to develop a rom for Galaxy s4 i9506 because in rom development there are not a lot of active projects. Im doing this for you! Nobody told me to do this! If you like this rom you can always help the development by testing it,and writing your opinion. And of course you can buy me a beer by pressing the donate me button, in order to be more happy to develop this rom during this hot summer!(In greece we have summer right now!)
Features
1. It uses base of I9506XXUDOB5(V1.1.x) or I9506XXUDOD3(v1.2.x)
2. Pre-rooted with Latest SU
3. De-odexed
4. Extremely de-bloated(only kept what it needs for the phone to work properly and keep Samsung design)
5. Will provide zips that will restore some of the bloatware
6. Tweaked for faster boot and speed
7. Uses less ram than official DOB5 firmware or DOD3 firmware
8. Official - stock kernel
9. Some great features of S5(Dialer last spoke-message,lockscreen clock in the middle and more to come)
10. A much better improved battery life!!
Installation guide

3. Copy the rom to the root of your sdcard/internal storage and the secc.zip and whatever mod fron post #2 you may want to install
4. Flash TWRP recovery via odin and boot to TWRP
5. It is better to wipe your data but not essential

This rom uses stock kernel, but in system I've deleted all knox related apps. Have you found something that I forgot?

no, i don't but DEHAWK kernel set Se Android to permissive
with stock I can't edit a text file on sdcard: permission denied
if u can do something for that it would be great

I'm gonna try it ?
Edit: Currently using it I will test for a few days and I will give feedback.
Btw is there a mod to have unlimted sms character because I cant send long messages.

Looks interesting.
Will this rom also work on the NOTE 3 (N900T) version or is this only for S4 models?
thanks

Good iam looking forward to hear you feedback , and focus on the camera , if it gives random FC sometimes.
and for the SMS limitation i think eleo already gavea solution on his NxTeam thread for that , and you can also use another 3rd party SMS app.

Great job man! Your rom are amazing! keep up! I own the gt-i9506 version and I will test it! One off topic question . I m using stock 4.4.2 can i flash it over 4.4.2 or should i install at least 5.0.1? ( In case i want to go back to my back up rom stock 4.4.2 with some mods can i return from this rom back for example to my previous back up rom by using the restor zip from twrp which i have already made?) sorry for my really bad English ;P

Hi,
I start using this rom, and it is smooth and stable. But i have one big problem. Call don't work. I start calling, and dialler show up, and nothing happens.
Also with comming call it the same problem.
How can i solve it ?
I am using i9506
E: i used patch i9506 and now everything is perfect!

Unfortunately before you could be able to use this ROM you have to flash the Latest Stock ROM via Odin first ( to get the latest Modem and Bootloader)
and for your question the answer is YES , if you make a FULL backup using TWRP ( it should contain everything including the boot and the Modem ) then yes you can restore it.

appearently you flashed the OLD zip of the Rom , i fixed the Camera Fc in another Zip wich is uploaded now and replaced the old link.
if the Camera FC will bother you , you will have to clean flash the Rom again using the new link.

No game launcher..?

Is there a way to enable blue light filter?

I just flashed the rom twice and the apps in the debloat list on aroma didn't install at all including camera app. Developper options are not working too and cause settings to force close..

This is a Highly Debloated ROM not a normal use ROM.
this ROM is made for people who stick to the minimum of minimum.
@X-Ninety you are the first one complaining about the camera. idk if you did a full wipe or not before u install it. so give details about what you did , and yes the developer options cause Setting to FC , due to the high debloat of other APK that may interfere with it.
What you wanted from there anyway ( just curious )

I was on LOS 13 with the latest modem/bootloader and used TWRP 2.8.7.0 to wipe everything, after rom installation, patch and reboot nothing is installed except phone/clock/messages/calendar. Camera app and other apps on debloat list aren't there even if I unchecked them..

I need game launchet please...

Try with the twrp-3.2.1-0 , do a TOTAL full wipe , then flash the ROM , boot it (without the patch ) then after booting it flash the patch.

I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed.

Some personal thoughts:
- you should read at least install instructions stated in this post - i won`t offer support for any issues regarding installation;
- press 'Thanks' button instead of saying it - it will keep the thread clean and keep me motivated to do more;
- feel free to donate to me if you want to support my work;
- if you take any of my work without my permission i'll report you, and you'll probably get banned.

Did you updated the bootloader and modem first? Also did you clean flashed?

Personally i didn't had any issues and i clean flashed 3 times today.. Also none of my testers had this kind of issues.. Try to wipe again and reflash, maybe will be solved by itself.

WARNING :
This kernel is for Google Pixel 3/XL (blueline/crosshatch)
Code:
You will NOT void your warranty after flashing this kernel.
Be sure to make all necessary backups first before processing to installation.
I'am not responsible of any damage caused to your device or data lost after flashing this kernel.
Of course, these are only basic warnings ! but generally you'll not get any problem :)[/COLOR][/FONT]
Some reading..
Welcome to SimpleGX kernel ! a kernel that aims for simplicity, stability, better performance, smoothness and battery life over a pure stock kernel.
This kernel is designed for people who are (like me) bored to flash kernels which integrate tons of unneeded things.
Main goals of it, is to stay MUCH closer to stock than every kernels shared here and almost not to be a “custom kernel” on its own. So beware, no exotic stuffs here !
No need for any third app or whatever to control this kernel. Just "flash-n-joy" ! this is how I always liked thing.
Keep in mind that this kernel has been designed for my daily use first.
As always, I'm enjoying sharing my contribution here on XDA for free, which taking me a lot of (my free) time to test before releasing. So, if you can offer me a little beer, it will be really appreciated!
This kernel must be only flashed over an official Google Pixel 3/XL firmware !
​
★ WHAT TO EXPECT ★ :​
(over a pure stock kernel) :
Slightly better battery life
Slightly better performance
Include only efficient (but definitely not experimental) tweaks
Stay as close as possible from pure stock source
★ FEATURES (up-to-date) ★ :​
Base :
Always directly based from latest available "android-msm-crosshatch-4.9-pie-qpr2" Android source from Google (for clean work)
Compiled with stock Google (4.9.x / CLANG) toolchain with stock LTO/CFI options (for best stability and security)
Featuring Anykenel2 (for all ramdisk compatibility)
Stock Linux
Main :
Kernel logger disabled (printk)
Completely optimized stock 'cfq' I/O scheduler
All TCP congestion control modules activated with Westwood currently as default
mmc/core: disabled CRC check
tcp_output: set initial TCP window size to 64K
fs: default to noatime
cpuidle: don't disable cpuidle when entering suspend
binfmt_elf.c: use get_random_int() to fix entropy depleting
AIO: Don't plug the I/O queue in do_io_submit()
WireGuard support (thanks to @zx2c4)
Removed verify and forced encryption + patched SafetyNet flags to pass CTS
Some miscellaneous tweaks, fixes, and security patches
Various tweaks :
Full changes to be discovered directly in my Github source below
Features that will NEVER be included in this kernel :
adding any other governor/IO schedulers than those stock
root/busybox auto-installation
CPU/GPU overclocking/undervolting
KCAL
adreno idler
state_notifier
any upstream of Linux kernel
dual-boot
etc
★ PREREQUISITE ★ :​
An unlocked Bootloader
An Android Pie firmware
Optional : to control some kernel options, you can install Kernel Adiutor)
★ INSTALLATION PROCEDURE ★ :​METHOD 1 : testing kernel without real flashing
Backup everything you need (internal & external)
Unlock your bootloader (if not already done)
adb reboot bootloader
Extract 'Image.lz4-dtb' from kernel ZIP (SimpleGX_KERNEL_Pixel3-XXX_vX.X.zip)
fastboot boot Image.lz4-dtb
Enjoy ! (but beware.. kernel will be lost after any single reboot!)
METHOD 2 : flashing kernel classically
Backup everything you need (internal & external)
Unlock your bootloader (if not already done)
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-0-blueline.img (or better)
ADB sideload SimpleGX_KERNEL_Pixel3-XXX_vX.X.zip
OPTIONAL (if you want to root the kernel) : ADB sideload Magisk-v18.1.zip (or better)
Enjoy ! (kernel will stay after any single reboot)
★ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) ★ :​
How can I update my SimpleGX kernel version ?
- Just make a dirty flash over it. If there is a special thing to do, then it will be precised directly into the announce.
How can I go back to stock kernel ?
Just flash back your full usual firmware back.
Is there a LineageOS (LOS) version of you kernel ?
No, and there won’t be any.
My battery is draining like hell, what's wrong ?
As @nathanchance perfectly said for his kernel: "The kernel doesn't drain any battery, use an app like BetterBatteryStats to figure out what app is screwing with your phone".
Also, generally, I remarked that wiping cache+dalvik between updates may drain a lot for the percentage left and the first cycle. Anyway, be sure to make at least two full cycles (from 100% to 0%) before judging battery life for any kernel.
How to recover excellent battery life ?

Flashed all seems good. No issues to report.

I flashed the kernel through TWRP, then flashed magisk and wiped the delvik cache. I came from stock kernel as well. Rebooted, and the phone was just stuck on the Google logo for 10 mins before I decided to reboot into the bootloader.

Could you try to just boot the kernel (without flashing it) and report if it's booting for you? (steps provided into post OP)
Also, could you check check MD5 checksum from downloaded ZIP file ?

i flashed ur kernel + magisk waited for it to boot for 8 minutes .
Needless to say, i flashed stock boot img now. I've always had bootup issues with this kernel, how long are others waiting?

Can you try the following and report ? :
flash full factory firmware (without -w)
let it boot
return recovery
flash kernel + magisk
It should boot within a minute or two (max) :good:

Not doing a full factory firmware flash ... I already did that before I flashed ur kernel days ago

Flashing a factory image without the -w flag included won't erase / delete anything from your device.

Don't feel like doing it. It's pointless to do if I'm coming from stock.

Try the new build & it seems to get tuck on "Google" screen. I tried it twice with different roms & I had to reflash stock images to get phone to boot up again. I tried it on DU rom & AOSIP. Hopefully gets fixed oon

Unfortunately I don't have the XL version but the normal one, so difficult to me to reproduce unless someone buy me a XL
Some last ideas to try :
Check MD5sum of the kernel
Try previous v1.2 and report if it's booting properly ? (if yes then there is a problem with 1.3 on XL only)

Yes, I've experienced it getting stuck at Google boot on my Pixel 3 XL after flashing v1.3 of the kernel. I've tried doing this twice. I'm installing the full factory image before-hand each time. I want to disable force-encryption and still use my fingerprint to unlock the phone. I'll try version 1.2 and see if it allows me to do this. I'm not sure how you're going to track this bug if you don't have an XL. Good luck.
I'm having the same problem with v1.2..... and 1.1 and 1.0

Hi people.
This is again just a flashable zip of stock 9.0 ROM (firmware released today for J530F).
A lot of thanks to @ananjaser1211 for all help and his kernel, without him ROMs on J530 (on exynos7870) wouldn't be posible, so run to his threads and hit thanks (or better donate)
ROM is tested on J530F and J530G, I don't know does it work on other models (it should), test and tell.
Supoorts J730 too, but I didn't test it so if someone can, please do.
Modifications from stock fw are:
- Latest August 2019 security patch
- Based on latest J530F firmware (J530FXXU5CSH7-XEO)
- HeliosPro 3.1 kernel that support OC and tons of other features
- Extremly debloated (this is bolded because I really deleted a lot of apps exmpl. GameTools and all Microsoft and Google apps)
- Little animation when phone is locked and charging (seems like AOD but it is just a overlay thing)
- Sound mod (very loud, but still safe)
- Dolby Atmos for headphones and speaker (just for estetics)
- Network traffic monitor for statusbar
- Native call recording
- Native screen recorder
- Bixby Routines
- No sound when making screenshot
- An option to disable camera shutter sound
- A lot camera features, like scene optimising etc. (most of them don't work, they are there just for estetics)
- Joy Pixels emojis
- Samsung One font all over system
I recommend to flash Oreo BL and CP, and latest TWRP first than ROM, and thoose you can find in this Telegram Channel --- https://t.me/J2017Oreo
So for using this ROM you need latest TWRP!
TWRP DOWNLOAD LINK (J530)
Installation steps:
- Flash latest TWRP, and reboot in it
- Wipe data, system, cache and dalvik
- Flash ROM zip
- Reboot to system
(If you feel ROM is laggy when see welcome screen just reboot once)

Recommendations:
- It is highly recommended to use Magisk for rooting. You can use latest magisk zip from here. Just flash it with TWRP, reboot, voila.
- My personal recommendation is to use FDE.AI magisk module too, it makes things run very fast, and smoother. You can find it in magisk downloads, or here.
- Another nice thing I use for modding OneUI is Complete OneUI substratum theme. It has really nice overlays for fixing things samsung forgot to fix (dark theme in a lot places, systemUI headers, OneUI launcher fixes). It is paid app on Play Store, but it is worth it. Link is here.
- Another recommended thing is to use KRAKEN kernel for 32bit ROMS. I personally don't use it, but a lot of people say it is very fast, and has more features than HeliosPro. It doesn't have XDA thread but you can find download link here. Curently latest version is I, but if you are flashing, make sure to flash latest one.
