Considerations

• use orangefox from the Tejas (btw, thx ♡)

• backup the dtbo/boot. (before flashing the kernel, just in case of the loop).

• case of not booting into dynamic roms... I can't do anything. you did something wrong.

• do not flash moe-ksu/noKSU in fourteen(dynamic)! This will cause the WhatsApp bug (status, media, photos where they don't download) and problem in games, use the moe-dynamic/dynamic-noKSU version on dynamic roms!

Flashing Instructions

• Download the Kernel from the link above

• Reboot to recovery

• Flash the Kernel zip

• Reboot and voila!

• To get root access, download the KernelSU app. (or use magisk, whatever).
