Last week I showed you how to install a custom ROM onto your Galaxy Note 4 and today we’re going to focus on a custom kernel with a step by step guide on how to install one. [box type=”bio”]Here is a that can be downloaded and installed from XDA-Developers.[/box] The kernel of an Android device is incredibly powerful. A custom kernel can do drastic things to your smartphone, tablet or smartwatch and enable anything from incredible performance all the way to a longer battery life. The stock kernel for the Galaxy Note 4 is rather limited but after you install a custom kernel, you will be able to tweak it to do all sorts of various tasks. Personally, I lean toward more battery life but the beauty in Android is that you can change it to whatever you want. Just like I mentioned in the tutorial, you will need to have a couple of things already done before you can start this one.

I have a T-Mo Note 4, rooted unlocked and was curious what other note 4 users are using in terms of Kernels, and your settings? Battery Life?. I have a T-Mo Note 4, rooted unlocked and was curious what other note 4 users are using in terms of Kernels, and your settings? Battery Life?. For those of you who want to root your Galaxy Note 4 or Note Edge on Android 5.1.1, you will need to flash a custom kernel on top of regular root method.

The first thing you need is. Antamedia Hotspot Serial Key. After you have root access, then you will need to.

Technically, you can flash a custom kernel with ADB and Fastboot but I like to recommend that you have a custom recovery so you can. This way, if something gets messed up then you can always. Galaxy Note 4 Install Custom Kernel • • Download the Custom Kernel onto Your Galaxy Note 4 • • Tap on Install • Locate and Tap on the Custom Kernel You Downloaded • Swipe the Blue Arrow to the Right to Install • Wait Until Installation is Completed • Tap on the Wipe Cache/Dalvik Button • Swipe the Blue Arrow to the Right to Wipe the Cache • Tap on the Back Button • Tap on the Reboot System Button Explanation Again, you always want to have a backup of your Galaxy Note 4 before you start any type of modification like this.

I know, it can take 5 minutes and you just want to get a custom kernel installed right now. I promise, spending this little time, even if you don’t think you need to, really can save you a lot more time in the long run.

Just like the tutorial for installing a custom ROM on the Galaxy Note 4, this tutorial is for the TWRP custom recovery. The process is very similar with CWM though, and you can almost follow right along too. Once everything is downloaded, you’ll need to boot into the custom recovery and tap on the Install button. This will bring you to a file browser and you’ll need to locate the custom kernel that you downloaded earlier. This should be in a.zip file format or you cannot install it with TWRP(or CWM either). Sometimes custom kernels are downloaded in an.img file format and for this, please keep reading. The second tutorial below will show you how to flash an.img custom kernel.
