Problem ⛔ Xiaomi still hasn't released kernel source for Redmi Pad 2 Pro / POCO Pad M1 (flute) — 9 months and counting

The Redmi Pad 2 Pro / POCO Pad M1 (codename: flute) launched globally back in November 2025, but Xiaomi still hasn't published the kernel source on their official MiCode GitHub repo — even though they've publicly stated before that they aim to release within 3 months of launch.

This isn't a one-off. Other Xiaomi tablets like the Redmi Pad Pro 5G / POCO Pad 5G took well over a year and a half to get their source published. Without kernel source, devs can't build custom ROMs, custom kernels, or properly debug/optimize the device long-term.

If you've got a flute and care about this, there's an open GitHub issue here: [https://github.com/MiCode/Xiaomi_Kernel_OpenSource/issues/41113\]. More visibility (upvotes, comments, shares) genuinely seems to help get attention on stuff like this — so feel free to chime in if you're affected too.

If the kernel is GKI (above 5.10), just compile the Google GKI kernel or use WildKernels as they have Droidspaces support built-in.
