Kernel 4.9 for Redmi S2/Y2

After hours of working and porting, I present to the community stable linux kernel 4.9.
This is the LTS msm-4.9 linux kernel maintained by Codeaurora Forum ported for our device from the base 3.18 kernel.​

what works?
  • Boots
  • Touch
  • Wifi
  • RIL (calling, mobile data etc)
  • Sound
  • Fingerprint (FPC And Goodix)
  • Front Flash
  • Torch
  • Camera
  • Vibrator
  • IR Sensor

Bugs:
  • You tell me!

A big thanks to @lostark13 for bug fixing and @33bca for his amazing work on 4.9.y for Daisy

Or maybe yes ... Because it is only source and no binary ... So maybe we can compile Both : 32 and 64 bits ....
But how compile it ? I can try, but I don't know the command line ... Just ... make ? :confused:

You can't compile 32bit, it was never my intention to create 32bit.
I can give more than 10 reasons why 64bit is just better than 32bit
 
Understand and aggre with you ! ^^

Could you give us the the compiled img please ? or help me to compile it ?

for the sake of god don't try now to compile 4.9
some bugs are possible to fix only with on device tree " and this is private only " like fingerprint , video , internal storage error message , etc

so your only option is to wait a rom with 4.9 as prebuillt "will come soon :D"
