Are you looking for something like this?

http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=524

I suppose you could use the CDMA network via WiFi that way from your XDA. What is it you're trying to do?
[Networking] Rudegar:
it would require a sdio Wifi card for the xda2

and it would not carry voice

/* Bugs */

- Phone calls won't work

- Fingerprint sensor and GPS on the Mi Pad 4 Plus doesn't work

- For the Wi-Fi variant, the device may get confused and think it’s a phone. Not a big deal.

- Didn’t notice anything else.

/* Fundraiser */

After consulting with 2 forum moderators, I got a clarification that fundraiser is acceptable with some terms like transparency and a rough timeline.

A fundraiser is opened for me to purchase a Mi Pad 4 Plus LTE. This particular variant was chosen since it's extremely likely for me to make Mi Pad 4 non-Plus LTE and Mi Pad 4 Plus Wi-Fi model supported during the process.

Within a month after the goal is met and the device is shipped, I'll work to make the current kernel and vendor image working on the Mi Pad 4 Plus LTE. After this is done, I anticipate other variants to be supported as well. In the unlikely event that it ends up otherwise, I'll work on some members on the community to get logs and test. It'll be way easier then since both LTE and fingerprint sensor will be working on my project.

While I will try my best to keep up with my goal, do note that it is entirely possible that it could not be done(which is extremely unlikely). You're making a donation after all. Just note that donation doesn't give you rights to force me to do anything with the received device.

The price for the lowest end Mi Pad 4 Plus LTE seems to be around $295 with a seller that would actually use DHL for shipment, which is required as the standard Ali-Express shipping usually takes 20~30 days.

There's another 10% importing tax in Korea on top of $295 which would make the total around $330. I've opened a fundraiser for $350 to avoid possible headaches like PayPal and bank's fee for withdrawing the money back to my credit card.

With that said, here's a fundraiser's link.

You can see the progress of the fundraiser as well.

This device took an enormous amount of my time that it clearly didn't deserve.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] stunned:
Thanks!

To my knowledge Mipad4 will someday get MIUI Pie. Does that effect the vendor then or are you already decided sticking with ported one?

I'm certain that general experience will be still better with mine even after Mi Pad 4 gets official Pie release.

It'll allow me to fix some bugs though.

[MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION] few bugs i found

1)wifi seems to be broken, it's turning off by itself and can't find any networks. (broken on both PA & pixelexp GSI)

2)file transfer broken, only charging is permitted, it keeps going back to charging only (able to test only on PA, on Pixel experience GSI, cant get pass the WIFI set up)
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Tysovwik:
Hope you will have time and possibility to support mi pad 4 plus version in near future :) nice done.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] onliner:
Thank you for you work with this (weird) device!

- Performance seems to be so so good, at least for now, the touch latency also seems to be better.

- Wifi is stable for now (It didn't work on the first boot, but I rebooted and it worked).

- File transfer works randomly for me (I'm trying to get logs and dmesg right now).

And just a little of OT: What do you think about zstd? I was using that algorithm with a flash kernel in Taimen and, in my humble opinion, it works very well, maybe it's a placebo, but I think multitasking was a little better.

PS: best post name evear, lol.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xzr3b0rnzx:
I am stucked.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] arter97:
zstd is ratio oriented algorithm. lz4 is speed and latency oriented algorithm.

Unless you're really starving on memory like Samsung, using zstd for swap is a really bad idea.

Found weird problem: after a while without reboots my tables produces weird "radio" noises. I don't know exact steps how to reproduce it. When problem occurs noises can be heard in any state: sleeping and active. Reboot solves problem for a while. Sound is clean and there is no noise when problem occurs, but device has sound to play, after playing is done noise come back.

I'll be buying a new SIM card for this tablet to activate and test LTE out in the fields.

The current status is merely a "Initial support for LTE".

Expect much more fixes to come around soon.

Similar to this issue in Havoc OS, which was later fixed.

How to update?

How do you update the kernel to the newest version from an old version?

Just redo these steps?

- Flash kernel by ‘fastboot flash boot /path/to/kernel/image’.

- Flash vendor by ‘fastboot flash vendor /path/to/vendor/image’

- Reboot.

- Leave feedback.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] sacca25:
You can simply use twrp to update everything, flash vendor.img, recovery.img and kernel.zip

I know you don't like these type of features. But I thought it be worth to ask for this specific device since it uses a Snapdragon 660 and EMMC. Would you ever think of implementing OC to the CPU and GPU? I think the 660 would benefit from this ...

[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Magendanz:
I'm seeing some weird battery charging behavior on my Mi Pad 4 Plus with the 20190308 build. When left on the charger, it will charge to 100% but not maintain that fully charged state. So, when I pick up the tablet hours later, it's discharged as if the device had been unplugged ever since initially reaching 100%. Typically, this means that after leaving it on the charger all day I return from work to find only about 50% to 75% charge remaining.

In the screenshot attached, you can see how it's been discharging while on the charger. Over this 35 hour period, I operated the tablet off the charger only about 15 minutes. I'd just returned it to the charger for the third time, and the rest of the time discharging that you see was while it was on the charger.

Note: I'm running the latest PixelExperience P GSI, as recommended.

Update: Same hardware on the LineageOS 16.0 build isn't exhibiting this battery charging issue.

How's your new Mi Pad going arter? Hoping to see Paranoid being updated and any kernel changes which will benefit the Mi Pad as it's a great device and it's been a while since I enjoyed a tablet since Nexus 7 days.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] iuselect:
thanks for your great work.

just flashed this last night and it's really, really smooth. just curious, what file system is recommended for microSD's? I tried exFAT which my mipad can read but the write speeds are horribly slow.

EDIT: Tried another SD card, turns out the one I was using is garbage.

I formatted my SD card as exFAT, then put it into my tablet, which then formatted it again as FAT32. Is there a way to have it read exFAT FS?
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MrPhilo:
Hopefully this project ain't dead. Spent my weekend installing this and setting up PA and enjoying the little tablet and it makes me think of the Nexus 7 days.

Is the GSI provided by arter only one which works fine for the Tablet? Anyone tried any others or maybe an more upto date PA version that's in a GSI?
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] BlazeMaster64:
Definitely not dead. PA is slow update. Maybe switch to other gsi
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Nalorokk:
It works well with Pixel Experience gsi
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] hehk1234:
this kernel works on Mokee ROM? what the roms is compatible with this kernel ?
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] gleenfield97:
Most probably not, none of the ROMs here is compatible.

You have to use GSI. Known compatible GSIs: Paranoid Android, Pixel Experience, PHH. Other GSIs (list) may work. Look for

arm64-aonly

image.

Just a reminder that you also need to flash the bundled vendor image (of this kernel) as well.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] hehk1234:
What you think is the best way ? Use GSI ROM with arter kernel or mokee rom ? Which of these ROMs you feel more performance and battery saves ?

[MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION] vendor doesn't mount (or so it says twrp) when i flash it (vendor.simg) and when i flash the PA ROM it boots to the fastboot directly
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] gleenfield97:
arter+PA definitely has better performance due to F2FS and other optimizations. It depends on your personal preference after all. You might not feel the difference or you don't mind the difference (for a light user). You might have a favorite ROM (that you can't live without) that is not available as a GSI.

Did you rename it to .img? Did you try fastboot flash?
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ecabmad:
Yes, i did rename it to vendor.img and flash it through fastboot and got this screen in twrp

I have not tried that, but if it works, then it would be a whole lot easier than the fiddly editing that I did. No point for me to do that now since I have it working, but if anyone tries that, please holler out here.

BTW, in respect of my complaint about the Windows PC not seeing the Mi Pad 4 in the PC file manager, that was really easy to fix, and it has nothing to do with f2fs. My mistake.

When you disable USB debugging in the developer menu on the device, then on the Windows PC device manager it will show up as a new Portable Device, "MSM 8998 for arm64".

Then you can pull down the "P" menu from the top of the Mi Pad 4 screen, tap it, and select its USB preferences to be "File Transfer".

At that point the device shows up in your PC file manager again.

It's always easy when you know how!
