For a review.

 

[absentprofile]

Thank you for keeping the Mi Pad alive ?

 

[Juanmiwow]

IMO, this is the best MiPad ROM! Thank you so much, Sir!

Smoothest ROM for MiPad

 

[Sudeep Duhoon]

Flashed smoke kernel on top of it. I know it can mess things up.
Will keep updating if that helps or not.

Thanks for developing for Mipad.. Hopefully we can have some other developers who can chip in to help to write wrappers for the camera... (I know not priority)

Thanks a lot!

So, we booted cm12.1 and ported shields kernel. Is it possible to move further? Cm 13 for example? Or cm12.1 based customs.

cm13 would be better but, at this time we should focus on stablizing cm 12.1

Absolutely agree with you. Once cm12 is stabilized we can hope for a marshmallow or even a nougat ROM.

Regarding the graphics, will we get vulkan support?

On nougat, yes we may.
Edit: no nougat for k1 but marshmallow has vulkan so we can get blobs from it once we get marshmallow.

Awesome... Can't wait to reach home and flash this.... Have waited so long to get away from MiUi

Why? Shield tablet has k1 and nougat.

 

[Sudeep Duhoon]

I didn't knew about custom roms. The point was, we can get vulkan if we get marshmallow and as you told, on nougat too.

I think it will be hard work.
We've never got blob sources from xiaomi it can be impossible.
But still, just having marshmallow or nougot would be awsome...
Antutu score can be up to 80000++

Can we have marshmallow which "at least" boots up?
I think it would be quite hard to boot it up with old blobs

Hi, I request the OP to add flash instructions along with which recovery to use. I know it's obvious but still.

I would personally wait for this LP ROM to get stabilized fully with all working features first. Once we have enough dev support and expertise then move to working on MM or Nougat.

I read somewhere here that if LP gets stabilized it's not very tough to get to MM?

If rom is completely source built, not very tough to bump the android version. If we use prebuilt blobs (like in this case) it may be difficult.

Bug : The in-built microphone does not seem to work.

Wow the performance is so promising. Thanks for the effort and keep it up!

11h idle, 1% battery drained. Wow I'm impressed.
