Description
Device Name: Xiaomi Redmi Note 14 Pro+ 5G
Device Codename: amethyst
SoC: Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 (SM7635)
According to the GPLv2 license, Xiaomi is required to release the complete kernel source code for all Linux kernel components included in the firmware of GPL-licensed devices.
The Redmi Note 14 Pro+ 5G (codename amethyst) has been widely released in global markets, but as of now:
- Kernel sources for amethyst have not been published
- No branch exists in the Xiaomi_Kernel_OpenSource repository for SM7635/amethyst
- Developers are unable to build custom ROMs, recoveries, or debug kernel-level issues without compliant source release
This prevents development of:
- Custom ROMs (AOSP/Lineage/PixelOS/etc.)
- TWRP/OrangeFox recovery
- Kernel fixes & security patch merging
- Device bring-up for OSS-dependent development
- Compliance verification for GPL-licensed components
Why This Is Needed
The kernel source is required to:
- Ensure GPLv2 compliance
- Allow community developers to work on stable custom builds
- Implement proper device tree (DTBO/DTB) support
- Build matching kernel modules
- Enable full compatibility with Android 14/15 frameworks
- Maintain kernel-level security fixes
- Xiaomi has an excellent history of releasing sources, and we kindly request continuation of that support.
Request
Please release the complete kernel source code for the Xiaomi Redmi Note 14 Pro+ 5G (amethyst) including:
- Kernel tree for SM7635 platform
- Device-specific DTS/DTSI
- Kernel configuration (defconfig)
- Vendor driver modules
- Any required build scripts
A release branch similar to previous Xiaomi Android 14/15 releases would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You
Thank you for your continued support of the developer community.
We appreciate Xiaomi’s timely kernel releases and look forward to the amethyst kernel source being published soon.
