Hello, one stupid question. Can I install this kernel on my Mi 8 Lite with Miui 12? There is no Mi 8 Lite kernel for Miui 12. The cpu, gpu and soc seems to be the same. But the camera should be different.

    Important Notes

    OLDCAM Variant=> For Custom Roms which are using Old Vendor Blobs!(Most Common as 95% roms are still using old blobs. If after flashing OLDCAM, camera don't work , then flash NEWCAM Variant! Camera will work surely! 100% Tested!

    NEWCAM Variant=> For custom roms and For MIUI Pie which are using latest vendor blobs!(Currently ,very less amount of Roms are using latest blobs. Some Examples are LOS Official, Xperience Rom etc.) If after flashing NEWCAM, camera doesn't work, then flash OLDCAM variant.Camera will work 100% . Flash this version on MIUI Pie.
