[Kernel] A Kernel V2 (23.5.A.1.238/23.5.A.0.575) - Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development

Introduction
So I don't see many kernels around here so I thought that I would give it a go.

Unlocked bootloader

Flashing instructions
Optional: Backup boot partition in TWRP if you ever want to go back to pure stock kernel
If you have system root, you should first unroot:
1. Open SuperSU, enter settings
2. Uncheck "Enable Superuser"
3. Select Full unroot
Download Systemless root SuperSU:
https://download.chainfire.eu/964/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.74-2-20160519174328.zip
Then flash my kernel in fastboot:
Code:
fastboot flash boot akernel-v1.img
Then reboot to TWRP, flashing the SuperSU zip.
Reboot, it might appear to stall, but be patient.

Do you need to have the bootloader unlocked?

Yes, all custom kernels need an unlocked bootloader.
Thanks for reminding me to put that in requirements.

I'll try not to litter your thread too much (Myself5 knows this pain), but I looked at your source and noticed you're picking a bunch of commits from AndroPlus.
I can't say what's right or wrong but please be cautious when picking from the man. It's nothing personal but he's known for being a tad dirty.

Well, it looks like there's two other kernels here now, which have indeed have superseded mine.
I'm probably going to work on something else in due time.
