Documenting about the status about this device
Currently, I've managed to fix various problems either by copying a patch from a different device or disabling configurations one by one, however the kernel failed to compile because of undefined references to various things. I could paste the logs here, but I don't know if it's appropriate.
Resolved compiling issues
ANDROID_MAJOR_VERSION
Solved with a patch from another Samsung device.
Stuff needed to make it run faster
Vendor kernel
Different files matter, but I don't know which ones are essential for making the vendor.

After this, turn off the phone, then press and hold Volume Up+Volume Down while connecting the cable to a PC or phone. If you enter recovery or the phone starts normally, shut down/reboot and try again.
