Wow huge thanks! First thing I'm going to try after I unlock my a2's bootloader.

Is this for stock or custom roms, or both?

Thanks!

I've never flashed a custom kernel. What's the procedure? If I flash a custom Rom (AOSP Extended) when should I flash the kernel? After, before, during? Or does it not matter. Also. I would have to use the hex_a because the AOSP Extended Rom IS for the 6x?

I will take risk and try on mi6x

I will take risk and try on mi6x

Update:
Cannot install in mi6x, i am using hex_a it says invalid partition. If you could do for single partition(slot-a) package i will test it.

Would this work on the Mi A2 Global on the new October Patch? Oh and is there a tutorial on how to install this Kernel?

How to install in mi 6x which have only slot a?

Since the 6x isn't supported, you gotta change the anykernel.sh file in the zip and remove _a. It might not boot. Nobody tested it yet.
