Realme has released the kernel source code for its popular mid-range smartphone Realme 3i, which was launched last year. The release of this kernel source code will allow third-party developers to build custom ROMs for the device. Although the source code may not be useful for regular users, it can help Android developers and tinkerers who like to create custom software builds.
Interested developers can now download the kernel source code from the GitHub repository. The Kernal source code is based on the Android 10 OS. As Realme has officially released the kernel source code on GitHub, it complies with the legal requirements of the GPLv2 license.

Users can now flash generic system images (GSIs) of AOSP (Android Open Source Project) ROMs such as LineageOS, Pixel Experience, and Evolution X, among others. Custom ROM support for the Realme 3i will allow the phone to be used with a plethora of Android-based features.
Providing kernel sources to developers ensure that these custom ROMs are better optimized to make the most of the phone’s hardware. Most of these come with their own set of unique features and interfaces, including Pixel Icons, Built-in Google Apps, Monthly System updates, and more.
