Installation

[!CAUTION] Flashing a kernel can brick your device and will void your warranty. Make a full backup (boot partition at minimum) before proceeding.

Choose the method that fits your situation:

Method	When to use	Requires root	Guide
Kernel Flasher	Upgrading with root already available, no PC needed	Yes	kernelflasher.md
magiskboot	When you want to flash a pre-patched `boot.img` directly (no pre-rooted setup required)	No	magiskboot.md

Choosing the correct AnyKernel3 ZIP

Each release artifact is named by KMI (Kernel Module Interface) and Security Patch Level (SPL).

KMI - e.g. android12-5.10, android13-5.10, android13-5.15, android14-5.15, android14-6.1, android15-6.6, android16-6.12. Must match your device's current kernel version. Check with uname -r or in Settings → About phone → Kernel version.
SPL - monthly security patch string in the filename. Pick the build closest to your current SPL; newer SPL is generally backwards compatible but read the release notes for breaking changes.

If you don't know which file to download, carefully read the description of KMI and Security patch level in the release notes before downloading.
