Part 5: Case Study – Running Android 13 (ARM64 Only) on Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 (MSM8953)

The Redmi Note 4 (mido) is the poster child for MSM8953. In 2022, the PixelExperience 13 (ARM64) maintainer released a build that achieved: msm8953 for arm64 driver

To build a kernel with MSM8953 drivers for an ARM64 target, developers typically follow these steps: You're looking for information on the MSM8953 driver

• ARM64 status: ✅ Working, but firmware is 32-bit aware.
• Blobs: wlan_firmware.bin (architecture-agnostic) + wcnss_service (userspace).
  wcnss_service must match the kernel’s pointer size – several projects recompiled it for 64-bit.

Part 3: The “ARM64 Driver Gap” – What’s Missing?

Despite being a 64-bit CPU, many OEMs never released pure 64-bit vendor partitions for MSM8953. Consequently, the following drivers are only available as 32-bit blobs in stock firmware: ARM64 status: ✅ Working, but firmware is 32-bit aware
