⚠️ Unfortunately, next Cherry versions can't and won't be announced on Xiaomeme's groups anymore (this includes @PineOfficial and @Redmi8AOfficial), since federation rules disallow any kind of overclocking.

ℹ️ We'd like to take this opportunity to clarify that all overclocks we added to our kernel tree are completely safe and extensively tested. We'll never add anything that could harm your device (at least not enabled by default, so people that understand the risks can have these features available as well).

👍🏻 Please make sure to subscribe to this channel so you can keep up with the latest updates.

#release

ℹ Cherry's installer will fail on newer, unified recoveries, because it can't recognize mi439 codename.

✅ To fix this, unified recovery tree allows you to change codename on-the-fly. Just type your device's stock codename on recovery's terminal, and it will automatically switch to it.

👍 Next Cherry releases will fix this issue

I have to do a very sad announcement: my Redmi 7A got lost today, so I can't continue developing for Xiaomi SDM439 devices anymore.

CherryKernel updates will slow down from now on. I encourage other developers to fork Cherry and continue our legacy.

I'm very grateful for the community we've built (and we've been there since the very beggining) and for how much we've contributed to it through the time.

Thanks to everyone for supporting this project! I really love you all ❤️

See you later 👋
