Phone (3a) kernel source version does not match the shipped kernel

[mrvokintos]

The current sm7635/b/mr branch reports kernel version 6.1.134, but my Nothing Phone (3a) is running the stock 6.1.157 kernel.

The kernel installed on the phone was built in December 2025, so it appears to be newer than the currently published source. The release notes for Phone (3a) also do not
mention this kernel upgrade.

Could you please publish the matching 6.1.157 source used for the Phone (3a) stock build?

• Device: Nothing Phone (3a)
• Codename: asteroids
• Published source: 6.1.134
• Stock device kernel: 6.1.157

That's true! I don't know why “nothing” isn't updating the kernel source code.

You can just merge the later common kernel over it, the driver code and hardware support hasn't changed

Common kernels are not a secret...

Maybe just switch the branch to sm7635/b/mr_Frogger nothing phone 3a uses that now..

This doesn’t work like that, lol. It simply won’t boot
