What are the risks of flashing this

 

[Ahmed Hady]

The only risk with it is that u need to unlock bootloader and may lose your warrenty

 

[Ahmed Hady]

Enable double tap to wake up please

Will make a customized version of it and add DT2W .. But for this kernel it's designed to be stockich and pure

[Ahmed Hady]

If u have your bootloader already unlocked the kernel wont affect your data
But if your booloader is locked so u have to backup your data first and follow this guide
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2-lite/how-to/guide-how-to-unlock-bootloader-erasing-t3878453

 

[leitseleac]

i have bootloader unlocked, but now my problem is, i dont want to install twrp, how can i flash it in other way

 

[Danvitayan]

[Ahmed Hady]

I think the app will falsh the kernel .. But if u reboot and dm-verity disabler is needed u will get into a big problem

Just remembered using that app on previous device that also had wonky twrp

Edit: Im trying to install TWRP now to use this kernel.

Ive been wanting to have KCAL

 

[artyom5613]

Hello, good job. I don't understand how to make kernel work on encrypted system. I test my kernel on encryted and they dont boot, system broke, ans need flash rom. I suggest disable encription for my kernel becouse this.
I need to disable dm verify in kernel?

Thanks man ..
for skipping FEC and verity problems apply these commits from my CAF kernel respectively:
(1) Disable dm-verity and FEC
(2) Disable DTB fstab verity
(3) Add xiaomi A2 Lite x509 dm-verity keys from P kernel (Optional)
