Xiaomi Mi5 Cyanogenmod 13

mi5I got one of this very nice mobiles. Snapdragon 820, 3GB RAM, 32GB Storage and all of this with a tiny pricetag of around 350 Euro (Shopped from Honorbuy). The only thing i don’t like is the Miui ROM…. typical chinese features and a iOS like UI, hey i bought a Android!

So the “Level Zen” Developers 😉 from XDA came together and created the Device Tree for it – There is no kernel source released so far, so they have to use the prebuild Xiaomi kernel.

 

 

Disclamer: I only show you how to use that device tree to build a fully working ROM! If you want to donate, you directly should do it to the developers of the device tree! My programming skills are way to low to contribute code :/

If you trust me, you can download my daily, weekly or whatever builds (Depends on how often the device tree and / or Cyanogenmod gets updates) directly from > here < and install it via TWRP.

In case somebody wants to build Cyanogenmod 13 for it, keep reading! But before get a fast and large  (!) cloud instance or bare metal server! It takes ages to compile when you don’t have a powerful host! I can recommend Vultr for it. I won’t cover the Ubuntu installation here, you should already know that.

  1. Do a openssh only installation of Ubuntu 16.04
  2. Login with your created user and let’s begin!
