NightKernel v1.2.1

NightKernel v1.2.1

Maintenance update for Samsung Galaxy A14 5G (SM-A146M / SM-A146B) on Android 15 (One UI 7).

This release is primarily an upstream kernel bump to Linux 5.15.197, syncing with the latest physwizz V-ue tree to provide out-of-the-box boot support across both Binary D and Binary E firmware bases.

What changed:

• Upstream LTS Bump: Updated base kernel from 5.15.180 to 5.15.197.
• Dual Firmware Compatibility: Boots cleanly on both Binary D and Binary E firmware bases.
• Root & VFS Hiding: Integrated ReSukiSU 3.0.0 + SuSFS 2.1.0 (helps hide root paths and mounts from apps; does not guarantee device integrity passing on its own).
• Recovery Failsafe: Panic-to-recovery (kernel panics auto-reboot to TWRP instead of hard bootlooping) and hardware key reboot without requiring a USB cable.
• Other Features: Native NTSync driver (/dev/ntsync), MMC software CRC disabled, DroidSpaces/SysV IPC, Baseband Guard.

Downloads & Flashing:

• TWRP (Recommended): Flash NightKernel-v1.2.1-a14x.zip in recovery and reboot.
• Odin: Flash boot-NightKernel-v1.2.1.tar in the AP slot.
• Direct (Root): dd if=boot.img of=/dev/block/by-name/boot bs=4096 && sync && reboot
