Resolved issues

ANDROID_MAJOR_VERSION

Fixed with a patch from another Samsung device.

"(vendor file) not found"

I got help from a user on XDA Forums and typed this in the APKBUILD on top of the make command:

Hint There are only spaces.
objcopy -I binary -O ihex firmware/exynos7885_acpm_fvp.fw firmware/exynos7885_acpm_fvp.fw.ihex

Compiling (not fakeroot)

The same user also helped me with what I need to disable or enable. I did what he said and it finished a part of the compiling process, but the rest required some fakeroot thing in which it failed because I was compiling on Android.

Things needed to make it run faster

Vendor kernel

I can't understand which are for the vendor kernel and which are for the normal kernel.
