📥 ChicKernel permalinks

GitHub Releases | SourceForge mirror | XDA Forums thread

📝 Note:

This kernel is tuned for these SDM685 (sm6225-AD) devices:

• Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 4G (topaz / tapas)
• Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 4G (sapphire / sapphiren)

🏗️ Notes (for developers):

Cloning this source:

1. This repo has kernelSU as a git submodule. This means it has to be cloned with --recurse-submodules
2. Since this is default branch, use the -b switch to clone a different one (eg. android13-5.15-lts)
3. You can use the --depth=1 argument to make a lighter shallow clone (not recommended)

This kernel is built with these configurations:

• build.config.gki.aarch64.chickernel
• build.config.gki.aarch64.chickernel.ksu
• build.config.gki.aarch64.chickernel.ksu.susfs (SuSFS branch)

This kernel is built with a newer toolchain as defined in build.config.constants

• Ensure you have the correct prebuilt downloaded from this site

Upstreaming kernelSU:

• Change directory to your source directory and run:

git submodule update --init --remote

Upstreaming SuSFS:

• Upstreaming SuSFS implementation in kernel is kinda tricky, because it involves applying patches, and re-doing everything
• Clone the gki-android13-5.15 branch into your working directory outside the kernel, and after you do the 1st step mentioned below, do everything as according the guide in it's README

I do it someway like this:

1. First, i revert previous implementation commit
2. I merge the directories from kernel_patches/ to my tree
3. I apply the patch: git apply *.patch --whitespace=fix
4. I commit, and push to origin
