Samsung Galaxy S Duos has been one of the devices that failed both Samsung and the users who bought it. There was next to no development on this device, whereas, generally we expect devices manufactured by Samsung to receive decent attention from developers (for instance, Samsung Galaxy S6 received a lot of developer attention). Finally, a custom ROM (namely KyleOpen) and a few custom kernels have appeared in the scene for Galaxy S Duos S7562.
Before flashing any of the stuff given below, you may want to root your device. Use the "How to root Samsung Galaxy S Duos" guide to do that. Please be warned that the phone's warranty will be voided if you flash any third party zip or root your phone. It will also trigger the flash counter on your device, which, I think, can't be removed as TriangleAway doesn't support this device.
We shall talk about the KyleOpen ROM first and the custom kernels will be discussed later in this article. The rom has been developed by xda member cheatman. The custom rom adds some handy new features to the device which are being listed below:
VamshiStunner Kernel: This kernel supports CPU governors.
KyleOpen Kernel v3: This kernel supports CPU governors, adds init.d support and also enables root. This seems to be the best available kernel, if we go by the features list.
