Hi,
At first, thank you very much for your work in providing LineageOS for Xiaomi Mi3/4 devices.

I have a Mi4, currently running with LineageOS 14.1. I tried to install LineageOS 15 but I stuck in LO boot animation. Then I tried the AOSP Oreo version (http://cyanogenmods.org/forums/topic/aosp-android-oreo-xiaomi-mi3-mi4/) and this worked. I love to use LineageOS 15 instead of AOSP, but I do not know what I am doing wrong.

My installation routine:
1) Download LineageOS 15 and GApps to internal storage
2) Boot to TWRP (3.1.1.0)
3) Wipe everything except internal storage
4) Flash LineageOS 15 zip
5) Reboot to recovery
6) Flash GApps zip
7) Reboot -> after some minutes LOS boot sequence appears but nothing is happening afterwards

Thank you very much for your help.
Robert

Hi Robert,
As this is an initial build it may take a while to boot. Let the phone boot for a while more and see if it boots or not !!

Also, I have added a new build from vasishath.
You can try that otherwise and see if that boots for you !
