Ported/rewrote the missing drivers for the Mi Max 2 (oxygen, MSM8953) with AI help. Camera and phone calls both work now. 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.

Working "on Nura"? You link to github.com

The title is misleading.

You clearly got it working with a Nura, but not "on Nura".

Or am I just unable to find that in the Nura repos anywhere?

As I stated in the post, I developed the drivers and the research with AI, so I published them in my own GitHub repository. An automated script exists so anyone can pretty easily installed these drivers to his Mi Max 2 if he wants to.

Huh. What is your plan to keep up with future updates and debugging?
