Kernel sources are now available for the latest phones from ASUS, POCO, Sony, and more
Kernel sources for ASUS ZenFone 8, POCO X3 Pro, Sony Xperia Pro, and a bunch of Realme devices have been uploaded online.
There is an abundance of options in the Android smartphone market. Along with that, there are countless options to customize and modify your phone beyond the options offered by OEMs, thanks to the devoted developers who make XDA such a unique community. One of the prerequisites for these custom modifications is the availability of kernel sources for each phone and many companies update them routinely. The kernel source of ASUS ZenFone 8, POCO X3 Pro, Sony Xperia Pro, and some Realme phones recently uploaded online.
Kernel sources for the POCO M2 Pro/Redmi Note 9S/9 Pro/9 Pro Max, Moto G9/G9 Play, Realme C11/C12/C15, and Realme V3/V5/X7/X7 Pro are now available
The kernel source code for the POCO M2 Pro, Redmi Note 9 Pro/9 Pro Max, Moto G9 and several Realme phones are now available for download.
There is a direct correlation between the developer-friendliness of a particular Android OEM and their stance on publishing the kernel source code for the smartphones they sell. The companies are obliged to provide the source code – upon request – for any Linux kernel binaries that ship on their devices to comply with the requirements of the GNU General Public License (GPL) v2. A handful of manufacturers are known for releasing such sources in a timely manner. Xiaomi is one of the most notable names in this field, and the OEM has now refreshed its official GitHub repository with the kernel source code corresponding to a bunch of popular phones. Moreover, sources for the recently released Motorola Moto G9/G9 Play as well as several Realme phones are now available for download.
