CM CAF - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers

Thinking about getting this phone, wasnt happy with CM and their stock kernel for SnapDragons, is there any CAF builds for this phone? or is it possible to drop a CAF kernel to replace CMs?

Linux 3.3 Kernel Merges Android and Linux Trees

Hey everyone,
This is mainly a heads up for kernel devs who are looking to complete an AOSP compatible kernel for the Rezound. Seeing that the Linux and Android trees have finally been merged (at least kernel wise) it should be SLIGHTLY easier to build a working Rezound kernel from source. I'm sure lots of work will have to be put into the process and perhaps Devs will only really be able to backport from 3.3 to a 3.0.x kernel, but this release improves my outlook of CM9 and other AOSP projects for our device.
http://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_3.3#head-b733d694037e0b34ad47e1b5d38ebc4d1bd1d89f
Thanks to all the Rezound devs for their hard work and I look forward to seeing what the future brings.
Best of luck,

[ROM][5.1.1] [GEEB] [Mako base] Unofficial CM-12.1 - LEDs for E971/3, HDR cam

I posted this originally in the E973 forum, but there's no traffic there anymore...
Yet another unofficial Cyanogenmod 11 ROM, this one with working LEDs for Canadian phones.
Sources are mostly chadouming's with haze028's device repo. LED driver is courtesy of paulicat. I've also included an init.d script by paulicat to tweak some governor/audio/video settings.
thanks to mathsz for his support, paulicat for his LED driver, chadouming for his repo's, houstonn for his modified frequency tables and haze for his putting up with my dumb questions.
Sources are here: link
Latest ROM will be on my androidfilehost
I personally use PA stock gapps with the banks camera addon.
I'll try to update this semi-regularly, I'm not a coder but I'll try and fix any bugs that are found.
I know the official nightlies are out, but I'm not happy with them, so here ya go!
CHANGELOG:
12/19/2013 - latest build added 192 MHz min CPU frequency, torch FC's fixed.
12/31/2013 - lockscreen HW button customization is working
01/02/2014 - reverted to stock frequency tables, was seeing some soft reboots on my phone.
01/04/2014 - made a few additional kernel tweaks for stability (explicitly disable modules and gpu overclock), equivalent of M2 build.
01/05/2014 - cherry picked commit for status bar settings, as well as lockscreen hw buttons. At this point, this should have feature parity with any 10.2 build (I think). This build seems to be rock solid stable and snappy.
01/09/2014 - Increase default voltages to be identical to stock, removed a kernel tweak for increased bus speed. Stability is more important than benchmark performance to me. Anyway, very stable now and CM seems to be adding in features/bringing up stuff from 10.2 pretty quickly. I've still just added the HW button cherry pick and everything is working as intended. Give it a try, especially for E971/3.
03/27/2014 - Back to building for geeb... kernel is updated with a lot of linaro patches, ROM and kernel are now built with linaro 4.8 toolchain. Low cpuclocks (162 MHz minimum frequency). I haven't enabled any overclock, but everything is smooth and battery seems to be excellent, at least for my use case. Enjoy!
04/22/2014 - new build is up on androidfilehost, new kernel (thanks mathsz and brothaedhung!) - it's a pretty straight up port from faux's latest with some cherry-picks for battery. low cpu clocks are enabled and battery is amazing. the bootimage blanks out partway through boot, but other than that it's really good. I included the nav bar/hard key disable from official cm, and google camera works perfect
05/28/2014 - So, I've been running builds, but haven't been updating the OP... Anyway, I've got a new kernel and the 0528 build is based on the latest changes to stable/cm-11.0 branch. It's M6 but with any commits CM has made recently, since they're still updating their github apparently. Kernel has fast charge, voltage control, battery life extender, low clocks, sound control. Governor is defaulted to ondemand, scheduler is noop, and hotplug is Qualcomm's mpdecision daemon. You should see battery life in excess of 4 hours SOT, depending on gapps package (I use PA stock, and get 4 hours no problem). Kernel is based on paulicat's port of the google stock kernel. No other frills in the kernel, no intellidemand, intellithermal, intelli*
This one is my DD, it's stable and everything works as intended.
06/22/2014 - Up to 4.4.4, latest nightly is in CM-11.0/Nightlies folder on androidfilehost.
06/30/2014 - Latest nightly has a fix for linaro 4.8 and ART, ART now works fine on this ROM. Battery life is amazing.
07/01/2014 - CM updated the stable/cm-11.0 branch today, so I did a build. ROM is up on androidfilehost, under CM-11.0/Milestones. I updated the kernel with the latest commits from CM as well.
07/08/2014 - Updated based on latest stable/cm-11.0 branch commits.
07/13 - CM keeps updating the stable branch, so I keep cranking out builds
07/15 - The most recent ROM has working storage encryption thanks to a commit by shelnutt. I've also uploaded a flashable zip of the kernel I use for this ROM here
10/07 - New build based off stable/cm-11.0 branch is up. Very stable and smooth so far.
CM-12.0
I've started building unofficial geeb CM-12 builds. They're up on androidfilehost. Starting this coming week, I'll be posting builds with my own kernel, brought up from kitkat. The builds that are currently posted are using a modified version of brothaedhungs lp kernel.
02/03/2015 - Sorry guys, I've been slacking off on updating this post. All current builds are using my KK kernel brought up for LP, with stock frequencies instead of low_cpuclocks. I'll be posting a new build later this morning. As far as I know, this is the only CM build still using mako sources.
02/26/2015 - New build. CM resync.
03/03/2015 - New build. I hacked up sepolicy to allow init.d scripts access to sysfs, and all of my custom tweaks are working. I also cherry picked "launch default music player when headphones connected". Also CM resync.
CM-12.1
04/16/2015 - Started building CM-12.1, using updated mako device and vendor tree.
04/20/2015 - cm re-sync, added some fixes to kernel and device (from cm)
04/23/2015 - posted 04/22 build. cm re-sync, updated to 5.1.1

So I see there's a few downloads, but no comments in-thread. I hope that means everything is working well for you guys!
Just a heads up, there's a commit on cyanogenmod's gerrit for hardware buttons on the lockscreen. I'm going to cherry pick it and upload a new build for 12/31 as a New Year's Eve present for everyone!

Didn't see this thread, but sometimes a quiet one can mean they have no issues haha. Also Happy New Year to you too!

Torch issue might be a f up in my device overlay, running a new build and will upload shortly. Torch tile is also missing and I found a commit from shelnutt that *should* fix it.

12/31/2013 - fixed the torch issue, torch tile and HW lock screen button is working. Build is uploading now (14:18 EST) and should be done shortly.
Running 31st rom.. Rock solid and stable!! Great battery life and working LEDs!! Awesome job! Thank you and happy new years!

Who says the LG devices don't have huge choices. ?? Here's one more reason to negate that statement. Thank you , for this rom. Now , we have one more to choose from.
Happy New year.
Hey guys, I just wanted to post an update in-thread. There is a battery drain issue with PA gapps, so what I've been doing personally is flashing the ROM, flashing the PA stock gapps, then flashing banks standard gapps overtop, then flashing the banks camera addon. It's annoying, but it fixes the battery drain.
Also, I f'ed up the 01/02 build by including some stuff in the 99kerneltweaks file in init.d, the problems aren't going to keep you from running the ROM but it makes the min frequency kind of random. I've attached my current 99kerneltweaks, and will include it in builds from now on. Remove the .txt extension, I had to add it because otherwise the forum wouldn't let me upload it.
Removing the 192 MHz setting from the kernel has resolved the soft reboots I was getting, and doesn't seem to impact battery life very much, I was getting way more drain from the PA gapps issue.
Just a heads up for anyone using my ROM, CM merged a lot of features from CM 10.x back in this morning. I'm running a new build now and will post it later today/this evening.
I hope this is a small request, but is it possible to have a flashable version of your kernel?
Mainly because your kernel fixes my problem with wifi tethering on CM11.
btw, love the rom. seems to be more stable than the official nightlies.

I'll try and make a zip for you tonight.
I just uploaded a nightly with most of the 10.2 features merged back in. There is a bug w/ emulated storage, after Koush merged in an updated superuser the CM file manager won't see /storage/emulated/0 in root mode. The workaround is to set CM file manager to prompt mode, and then you'll never even see an issue. /storage/emulated/legacy is available in root mode, though I don't know why you'd need root for your internal storage. I think it's an SELinux/zygote conflict but I haven't figured out the fix just yet.
There's a new build up - 20140123, which has a fix for autofocus. I need anyone running it to keep an eye on battery drain and let me know if they see anything out of the usual... I'm running it myself and haven't seen any problem so far, but there's one report of an issue with the patch on geeb.
Thanks!
everything works great!
Thank you very much!
I would like that kernel too please
connect phone to USB. Start adb. Put device in bootloader. Fastboot flash boot. Boot.img

I've uploaded a flashable kernel zip to my androidfilehost. Please keep in mind, it's just the zimage, no ramdisk or drivers so LEDs etc will not work the same.
Battery life is still great.
The only minor issue I see is the ambient light sensor dies after awhile. This is the same with official cm11 and the PA 4.0 releases. Not a big issue but it's interesting that it's across 3 roms.

I'm retarded. I forgot that you can easily do this.

nah, it's easy to forget. Unless you play with roms all the time, play in the source a bit or are just flash-happy, it's realllllly easy to forget.

Explain: CAF, Gproj, Mako kernel stuff.

Hi all,
Been a while since I really looked into some of the OG development. But I have noticed there are seemingly kernel differences (which affect the ROM's support for xxx-kernel) in the forms of CAF, Gproj, etc.
I have a basic understanding of CAF being Qualcomm's development branch. From what I understand, AOSP doesn't use CAF updates. But CM does (at least, some stuff is integrated). So CM based ROMs are automatically CAF? Or is that up to the devs?
I do not really know what Gproj is, I think it is something for the Optimus G (Gproj = G Project?) variant development, but I may be wrong here.
I know the Mako is the name for the N4, but what are mako based kernels? CAF, Gproj? Something different, either or?
Anybody mind sorting out this information for me? Or pointing out a place where it already is spelled out? I did search Google and XDA but can't seem to find helpful information.
Thanks.
@bleached45
As far as i know ;
Gproj=CAF = Official and E975 sources
mako= Nexus 4 sources
All official roms uses Gproj E975 sources so only gproj kernel will work here.
As for example = CM 11 , mokee etc
All roms which uses makoo sources for rom uses ported mako kernel
I hope you got all your answers

Then why do we see so many GEEB instead of GPROJ? My phone is Mako (based on info in recovery) but doesn't work at all with GEEB (mako), only GPROJ.

Latest Lollipop Security patches

I just wanted to know if there is any flashable version of the latest security patches for any AOSP based roms? I'm currently running a CAF variant of Euphoria 1.1 on my OnePlus One and it has everything I need as far as features and I don't see any reason to upgrade to 6.0 yet. If anybody can point me in the right direction would be helpful. Even if I have to build my own version of the rom I'll do so as I do have some building experience (some, not alot).
Thanks

ROMs based on non-prebuilt kernel

Are there any ROMs, based on the leaked kernel sources below?
https://github.com/rmtew/MediaTek-HelioX10-Kernel
All the ROMs, I've seen are based on prebuilt kernel.
Until we havent full kernel source we had to use prebuilt kernel. Nofearnohappy is trying to complete the source. Now its booting but still some things is broken
I would like to port SailfishOS, but for that I need the build the kernel from source.
On Nofearnohappy's github you can find source but i think it's not worth to spend so much time on building not fully functional rom
