[ROM][DISCONTINUED] CyanogenMod 13.0 for Xiaomi Mi 5

[bgcngm]

CyanogenMod is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 6.0 (Marshmallow), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.

* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.

CyanogenMod is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. You will need to provide your own Google Applications package (gapps). CyanogenMod does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.

Base source code for CyanogenMod is available in the CyanogenMod Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to CyanogenMod, please visit our Gerrit Code Review. Your changelog is whatever was merged into gerrit.

This work is due to efforts from Mi5Devs founding members (@h2o64 and me) that did the full device bring-up. Huge thanks to @deovferreira for all the help during the kernel bring-up after source code dropped.

Some notes due to recurring questions:

• Using fingerprint as home button is not implemented, so please don't report it as a bug.

 

[bgcngm]

So, this is the one and only place I will follow to provide the support of CM for Mi 5.

To clarify, this thread was just created because today marks the day when Xiaomi released the kernel source code for Mi 5.

Finally the official Repo Builder!
Thanks for the bring up

So, does this mean capacitive home button finally will work ??

I can't answer on behalf of the dev, but yes, I suppose, sooner or later.

Guys .. What's the differences between this build and the previous build which is based on CM tree?!

Note, we hope to see from you port/different ROM soon.

Thanks.

@droid.riz Thanks for holding our hands up until this moment. Mi5 wouldn't have been as smooth an experience if not for you. Except for crappy speeds by BSNL, which you're not responsible for anyway... Cheers!

You mentioned the wrong person.

 

[andy356]

No no.
@bgcngm You're the one who's holding the entire fort together. Maintaining the device tree AND building TWRP for a closed kernel device? Kudos to you, man. I was just glad that the RR ROM helped bridge the gap between buying the device and having official custom ROMs. Because there was no way in hell I'd have stayed with the Chinese MIUI. (Shudders)

RR ROM would never be a possibility if it wasn't Mi5Devs, I hope you know that. Case closed. This is CM support thread and nothing else.

 

[andy356]

@bgcngm Absolutely. There's no custom ROM without the device tree. :good:

Hey man, sorry if I offended you...

 

[xpdev]

This is a great day bgcngm, thank you again.

PS
I don't see "capacitive home button" between broken things.....

 

[bgcngm]

I don't see "capacitive home button" between broken things.....

That's because I don't consider it is *broken*. It's something that will be added in time, I didn't forget it.

 

[Termynat0r]

@shade.sh
Will the OTA updates continue as usual?

 

[xpdev]

@bgcngm

Great !!!!!

 

[bgcngm]

@shade.sh
Will the OTA updates continue as usual?

I would say yes, until builds start to come out from CM build servers. In other words, it is unofficial until it becomes official.

@bgcngm See my question about kernel sources and overclocking was not that dumb as it turned out ^^
Anyway huge thanks to bgcngm and shade for making this device even better than it hopefully will be (yes I informed me about costum roms before i bought the phone ).
