[INCOMPLETE HOW TO] Reconstruct Mi 4c kernel source

[ketut.kumajaya]

am i alone like Taylor?

Of course not. My Mi 4c just arrived

Looks like the kernel source will be released soon: http://en.miui.com/thread-235127-1-1.html

Don't trust them. They have released Redmi 2 kernel source for KitKat two days ago when my device already run Marshmallow :laugh:

Official ferrari kernel source code available, as usual manufacturer source always in low quality of coding. I found ferrari and libra share a lot of codes, LCD and touchscreen, sensors, LEDs, camera, maybe sounds, etc, different chipset of course. If you have an access to Mi 4i, please give me Hardware Info app report.

Just applied ferrari's patch on top CAF's msm-3.10 for msm8992 5.1.1 release. 31 rejected, I'll fix it later.

I've got a friend who uses ferrari, I'll see if I can get in touch with him.

Anyway, thanks for the effort you put in our device, Bli :silly:

EDIT: Apparently he swapped his ferrari with a Zuk Z1 after only a week of usage

seems you've started building 4c from 4i source as a template? I thought they are different in chips, 808 vs 615.

I believe they build both libra and ferrari on the same board with upgraded processor and memory I could be wrong, let's wait and see. I have to fix rejected patch and reconstruct libra dts first.

Ferrari patch on top MSM8992 branch compiled successfully. Still lot of work needed but I have to go to Batam (near Singapore) tomorrow.

Time to start a new development thread

great work guys

Thank you very much for your efforts in such a hard thing! Could I know if there are any news about custom kernel from you?

He's going out of town, maybe he'll work on it when he got back.
@ketut.kumajaya is it possible to implement Camera2 API to your kernel?

Seems like they released the kernel sources...

Amazing... has hugo been a little cleverer?

 

[kevinnol]

emphasis on little since it took some time

So are these sources complete? I'm your pretty average flashaholic so I don't know much about sources

I'm afraid they put older source modification on the newer branch

And what does ir mean for developers?

No, too expensive and my main device still in very good condition :laugh:

So, are you waiting for other? If I'm right, what it's that?

We must be careful when merging upstream CAF changes.

No, I just booted up Mi 4c with my own kernel Much smaller than Xiaomi version, 29.4 vs 46MB
