EDIT 2: alright on telegram I found the answer, a11 only. Anyway, thanks for that, will definitely try next time I'm on R.

it doesn't work on xiaomi eu 21.5.20, gingko, the device forever stays on the Redmi logo and then shuts off.

Flashing on latest DotOS 5.1 worked without any issues and my first impression was: snappy performance

The kernel do not support any MIUI version so far. It is only for R based ROMs

Flashed it on crDroid 7.6 (Android 11) and no problems so far.

EDIT: Found a bug where the USB debugging and charging notifications don't disappear after disconnecting the USB cable.

that's wierd, I'll look into it, can you tell how to reproduce the issue

 

[iamsaalim]

The only thing I found so far, is that video recording doesn't work for me.

 

[jpatrocinio5436]

Sorry I'm not on crDroid anymore, but what happened was everytime I connected the phone to my PC, the usual notifications appear (usb debugging and usb mode selection). Then when I unplugged it they wouldn't go away and they would get stuck there until I restart the phone.
