Okitavera's Kernel for Mi 9 SE - v8.4

[denzel09]

the msm-4.9 on https://github.com/android-linux-stable/ currently doesn't have the branch for sdm670/sdm710.
Besides, there so much devices specific bugs that I can't resolve yet, like the sensorless proximity drivers.

Thanks for your efforts, a bit sad, i think this device will have little support, maybe it's better sell it

Nice Work, thank you.

Is it possible to open the voltage table so that we could do some undervolting ?

You're welcome.


afaik vdd_tables is already unsupported a long time before, so the only way to undervolting is just modifying dts.

oh ok. But what is dts ? Is there a easy way to get the voltage control to work ? Most of the apps i tried say that the kernel did not support voltage table adjustment.

It's device specific tables right inside the kernel, and it static.
My point is, those voltage control apps are only supporting an old devices with an ancient kernel.

but are you using xiaomi.eu rom or stock rom?

i use the weekly xiaomi.eu roms. Flashed this kernel to maybe get some more better batterie life. The next step would be to try some undervolting to get the best possible results but looks like this is not longer possible with the new android versions.

So you are using xiaomi.eu, but proximity sensor when you make a call is working in your case?

not sure what the proximity sensor actually does if i use the phone for calls . Should shut off the screen during the call ?

Yes

A nice reading on EAS kernel.

Yes

Screen only get dimmed after all while

ok, it is not working.

Yes, it works with MIUI based rom, either global or chinese version (assuming that Xiaomi.eu ROM is based on the MIUI CN).
I didn't try the GSI yet because this is my daily driver, but anyways you guys can tell us here if someone run this kernel on the system other than MIUI-based

Well, I'm not seeing anyone on github or gitlab that even making a device-tree for this device, but maybe someone is working on that internally ? I don't know either

I'm pleased to report that your kernel boots 190602 FlokoROM. And the proximity sensor works correctly. Auto brightness is not working but it wasn't working on the kernel that came with the ROM either

Autobrightness in Floko is broken because the settings are missing in the overlay. I quickly recompiled the treble overlay for mi9se and got it working with the mi8se values. Need to tweak them a bit but if you want I can send you the apk.

So the proximity sensor doens't work only on xiaomi.eu, it's so "hilarious"

If the standby consumption will fixed, this MI 9 SE would be even better!

Congrats Yuneharuka for your work [emoji16]

I guess it was the eu's vendor files

----
I tried to compile the techpack as built-in that comes with the xiaomi source but it doesn't even boot.

They use different vendor files or what?
