How to flash the Kernel:
1. Make sure you are rooted, are using the latest magisk suited for your OS version and a kernel manager capable of flashing a zip is installed. If available you'll can use TWRP as well. Download the kernel.zip to your device.
1a. If you used the SQLITE3 Magisk Module and the GPay Fix Magisk Module in the past (prior to 2.0.0) look at this post:

2. Flash kernel zip in via your favorite method. Kernel Managers and Recoveries need to be updated to work with a specific Android Version. It's your job to ensure compatibility!
Root will be preserved! (Make sure to be on the latest firmware the kernel is made for)
3. Reboot and profit! Before reporting any issues make sure to read the first three posts of this thread!
Instructions can be found in the OP too!
Have fun, enjoy the kernel and your phone.
