[UNOFFICIAL][14.1][7.1.2][2017-09-11] LineageOS 14.1 for Xiaomi MiPad (mocha)

[highwaystar_ru]

Here is first attempt to build LineageOS 14.1 for XiaoMi MiPad

Current state is: mostly working
I finally found solution to fix old mipad stock graphic blobs to load on cm13 and Los 14.1. This build is proof of concept to show it is possible to have Nougat on old good MiPad.

What working:

• WiFi (better than 12.1, now using opensource wpa_supplicant)
• Sensors (autorotation works)
• LEDs
• audio including microphone
• hardware accelerated video playback
• camera

What not working:

• audio (currently plays only some system sounds, all other failed because of wrong PCM format)
• camera
  [*]lineage Music add doesnt play anything (3rd paty players seems to work fine)
  [*]windevine drm not working (need updated liibs, to be done in next build)
  [*]probably hardware acceleration playback (missed symbols for some omx libs)
  [*]not enough space to install gapps into /system partition
  [*]random crashes going to system ui restart loop
• webview crashing with ERROR:gl_fence_egl.cc(63)] Failed to wait for EGLSync. error:EGL_BAD_MATCH (gapps and play market unusable)

Reserved

If you have problem installing newer latest build, or just to be sure it will install fine check you system partition with DiskInfo app. It should show System partition at least 1337564160 bytes.

First! Holy ****, I never thought I'd see the day...

@highwaystar_ru Is there not enough space in /system even after merging system1 and system2?

EDIT: If anyone wants root: https://download.lineageos.org/extras

 

[LONGXF]

Unbelievable

 

[jeremeel2015]

Damn dude, you rock....!!
the future of mi pad 1 is getting brighter because of you.....!!

On merged system it is enogh space, but now /system in rom configured to match stock /system. Not sure for now if it possible to remove LineageOs stock app like browser and email and free some space or just use bigger /system and require to repartition.

Woah
Impressive.

We could do that...remove some unnecessary packages from https://github.com/LineageOS/android_vendor_cm/blob/cm-14.1/config/common.mk with a PRODUCT_PACKAGES -= line in the device.mk.
But asking users to repartition to install gApps is better in my opinion, for future official Lineage support. There could be a check in the updater_script to verify the user has repartitioned.

I am pretty sure there is no re-configuration necessary to support repartitioned /system partitions.

Does that mean CM12 development is dropped?

Do you want the latest nougat or old lolipop

 

[OoSTARTERoO]

OMG... unbelievable....first 7.1.1 on mipad...
Xiaomi, shame on you
and thank you! highwaystar!

 

[MiliWanili]

Lollipop if it comes faster.

 

[highwaystar_ru]

If it possible to make los14.1 run stable and sound working it is better to go with los14.1. At least it has upstream support, and some things here works better. I cant make opensource wpa_supplicant working on 12.1, but here it works. Microphone in cm12.1 is also hard to fix, because there is only LD_PRELOAD for lib and microphone require MonoPipe class from 4.4 to work, but it will break other things. On cm13 or los14.1 it is possible to use LD_SHIM_LIBS to fix only broken libs and not break working.

For now I'm trying what cause los14.1 unstable, sometimes it may work for hours, but when it crashed to black screen and buttons backlight it starts endless bootloop.

 

[giri24x7]

Unbelievable

Never expected los14.1 on mi pad.

 

[VALRCIEL]

Awsome,, nice work bro

 

[xachiel]

Xiaomi Mi Pad with the latest OS. Awesome Dev!

 

[Navin9]

Awesomeeeeeee! Highwaystar. You are simply awesome. never expected the lineageOs, that too for Mi pad. and now you are our only hope.

 

[rohit25]

Holy moly... Would be flashing this baby once we get the camera and hardware acceleration sorted out... This is why I LOVE XDA and the developers here....
