Native Linux is coming to our phones much more easily (Xiaomi Mi Max 2)

>AI can speed up a lot of the manual labour needed to bring even an almost dead, 10-year-old device back to life. >My Xiaomi Mi Max 2 (oxygen, MSM8953) was dead. With AI help and my own knowledge, I ported/rewrote the missing drivers, and it now runs Nura (postmarketOS) with working camera, torch, SIM, phone calls and SMS. Only the loudspeaker is still broken. > >Everything is up for anyone who wants to install it, or to understand the changes and manually write the patches for mainline: https://github.com/sv1sjp/mi-max2-oxygen-msm8953-nura-drivers [https://github.com/sv1sjp/mi-max2-oxygen-msm8953-nura-drivers] Testing, feedback and PRs welcome.
