[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] StoneTrapper:
Mi Note 2 (scorpio) Lineage 14.1 [Unofficial] [Beta]

Please use and share logcats

We can make this feature complete device-tree and then there's countless ROMs we could all enjoy.

I will need your help to do that. Any issues please log and please post below.

Okay while I work on compiling and starting from scratch I know many of you are impatient and I'm keen to show there is people looking to develop for this device since everything around here has been so quiet.

Since this is mostly feature complete anyone wanting to test can do so

Support is a little limited, at this stage I'm very interested in hearing about any bugs but at the moment I can't be rushing to fix them while this isn't feature complete.

Now I'm assuming you have an unlocked bootloader, have made backups of your apps with something like TitaniumBackup, made a full TWRP backup and your keeping a copy off device (copied to your desktop or made the backup to a USB stick)so you're ready to go.

Guide for Installation

1. Download gapps (I used nano but any arm64 7.1 is fine)

2. Boot into TWRP

3. Format system and userdata (your "sdcard" will be fine, folders like download are fine - Only installed apps are erased)

4. lineage-14.1-20170403-UNOFFICIAL-scorpio.zip

5. Flash scorpio.zip

6. Flash gapps

6.5 (Optional - Recommended) Flash Magisk

7. Reboot to system

Updating from an earlier build?

There's no requirement to format userdata. System wipe is still recommended. Any dirty flash will remove Magisk and gapps.

If after installing update you find that fingerprint reader is not working follow these instructions

Boot to TWRP and backup everything - Copy the backup to PC or make the backup to USB)

Install MIUI dev 7.3.30 - I used fastboot method but zip method may work (if you use zip method and it works please post and let me know)

Boot into MIUI and sign into your Mi account.

Reflash TWRP

Restore Userdata from your TWRP backup.

Once completed continue the installation as normal

Flash lineage, scorpio.zip, openGapps and Magisk as above

When you return to Lineage all settings and apps should be intact.

Why Magisk

If during setup you add a fingerprint/password/passcode/pattern then you will enable full drive encryption.

My TWRP builds have no problem with this and if you've been using a passcode on MIUI you're probably already encrypted. If you wish to avoid this encryption but still have a passcode/fingerprint registered - install the latest version of Magisk.

While built-in root works perfectly well, for those wishing to avoid encryption Magisk will do just that.

Currently not-working:

Gyroscope is reversed (disable auto-rotation in settings)

Screen brightness adjustment scale is wrong (set delicately or auto-brightness is working correctly)

Double-tap to wake

NFC

Finger-print reader

Touch-sensitive home button

Confirmed working:

Ambient Display

LTE (Working on CN & Global editions with expected bands)

Camera (front and rear)

Speaker

USB-OTG - inc NTFS support (Just don't name your stick ANDROID)

Just about everything not listed above
