The problem

AxionAOSP is an Android 15 ROM, but a ROM only feels right on a device once that device’s details are taken care of. This build does that for the Xiaomi Pad 6, in a form other owners can install.

(02)

What I built

A device-specific build on upstream AxionAOSP, released as a ROM ZIP with matching boot.img, dtbo.img and vendor_boot.img, and HyperOS 2.0.8.0 Global firmware included. The release page has install steps for a clean flash and an update, the changelog, and credits for the work it builds on.

Hard partMaking a general Android build behave on one tablet: Bluetooth, touch, rotation and heat.
