🤖 Android Developer · ⚙️ Kernel Dev · 🌐 Open Source Enthusiast
Low-level focused. Performance-driven. Always building.
I'm Samaksh Kamboj (@samakshkambxj) — Android / kernel developer based in India 🇮🇳.
I live close to the hardware: custom kernels, device trees, and root tooling, with Python automation and web tooling to tie it together. Currently maintaining Origin-Kernel — a feature-rich custom kernel for Mediatek-based Nothing devices.
- Start · Hooked on Android customization — rooting, custom ROMs, tweaking everything
- Deep dive · Learned C, C++ and Python through kernels, build scripts, and automation
- Kernel era · Building custom kernels — device trees, vendor blobs, kernel modules
- Now · Maintaining Origin-Kernel (Nothing MT6878, 6.1) +
device_nothing_Galaxian, Dolby ports, and KernelSU tooling
- ⚙️ Clean kernel architecture — performance, battery, and stability first
- 📱 Android internals — device trees, HALs, sepolicy, vendor integration
- 🛠️ Reproducible builds — scripts and CI, no black-box builds
- 🔓 Root ecosystem — KernelSU-Next, ReSukiSU, SUSFS, TWRP / OrangeFox
- 🌐 Open source — building in the open on top of NothingOSS / LineageOS
🌐 Frontend & Web Technologies
🔧 Build Tools & Utilities
💡 Most at home in kernel trees, terminals, and build logs — C, Kbuild, and shell. I ship polished web UIs too (portfolio, dashboard projects), but performance + battery life on real hardware is what excites me.
Reproducible toolchains, versioned trees, public forks — no mystery blobs.
- 📱 Origin-Kernel — custom kernel for Nothing MT6878 devices (
android_kernel_6.1_nothing_mt6878) - 🌳 Device trees —
device_nothing_Galaxian(Phone 3a Lite), Tetris / Galaga trees, vendor + kernel prebuilts - 🔊 hardware_dolby — Dolby Atmos stack for Phone (3a) Lite
- 🔓 Root & recovery — OriginSU, KernelSU-Next, ReSukiSU, GKI + SUSFS, TWRP / OrangeFox builders
