Hi Cbtc,
First of all, thank you for your work.
I am about to flash your fenix rom on my sm-t580 and if I understand the above quote well, this means by flashing your kernel I don't need to flash the base rom that you are providing in your other thread in order to install your custom rom to get wifi working.
Am I getting this right ?
Cheers

I'm having an issue second flash around. Reverted to stock, flashed TWRP, wiped system, data, cache, dalvik/ART. Aroma installer for Fenix seems to fail out at "Setting some symlinks failed." I thought it was an issue with internal storage. I reflashed stock and TWRP after full nand erase in Odin and reflash I tried adb sideload because setting the aroma installer to "hard wipe" freezes TWRP if the ROM is on the sdcard. This time flash success, but stuck in recovery loop on reboot due to it needing to nuke internal storage without failure.
So currently on stock and going to flash SuperSU and busybox, possibly because symlinking needs the root access and the restored ROM is not rooted yet when it tries. SuperSU is complaining about "Systemless install, boot image support required", but suceeds. I will give the ROM and kernel another shot as soon as I've rooted the stock ROM. Question is, do I allow TWRP system access when it asks?
