Hey everyone :)

As you guys may have noticed, the fundraiser reached its goal.
I've been a little busy with my work on OnePlus 6 and Magisk to make the purchase, but I will do it sometime during this or the next week.

(The irony is that I worked to fix MagiskHide when I tried to use my banking app to purchase the Mi Pad 4 Plus, lol)

Also, PA will soon release another update to QSSI msm8998 image, which will run without major quirks on the Mi Pad 4(still requires an update from this project).

Thanks! (Especially the ones contributed to the fundraiser)

If you don't mind me asking, what sort of a timeline are we looking at for a working image on the plus model?

Will you need to wait for bootloader unlocked or does your seller pre-unlock like where I bought from?

About a month after receiving the device, I expect everything except phone calling(which isn't expected to work anyways) to work, though it may change.

I'm looking to purchase a pre-unlocked variant.

just flash overwrite vendor/kernel and recovery. holy **** the performance bump is insane, not placebo effect.

I am having trouble with booting. I'm coming from stock, flashed vendor image and kernel image then wiped data to f2fs (with arter recovery of course) and flashed latest PixelExperienceP-a64-aonly system image. It just stops booting at Mi logo, and stucks at there.

Edit: here is dmesg.
