Android Nougat 7.0 ROM, Xiaomi Redmi 2 CM14/CyanogenMod 14 has now arrived via an UNOFFICIAL build. You might know that CyanogenMod is now continued as Lineage OS. Stay tuned to the Lineage OS 14.1 Devices list page to get more updates on Lineage OS ROMs. Here we also have the Lineage 14.1 for Redmi 2. Since Google released Android Nougat Source code, we have update many Android NOUGAT AOSP ROMs and also we have update a big device list of CM14/CyanogenMod 14 Nougat 7.0 ROMs. This CM14 for Redmi 2 (wt88047) is brought to you by developer chaubeyprateek. In addition to this UNOFFICIAL CM14 ROM, now the OFFICIAL CM14.1 (CyanogenMod 14.1) for Redmi 2 is also live. See the required downloads sections for the links(s). It is strongly recommended to update the OFFICIAL CyanogenMod 14.1 on the Redmi 2.
DISCLAIMER:
THIS IS AN INITIAL BUILD. THIS MAY NOT BOOT AT ALL OR IF IT BOOTS IT MAY HAVE MANY MORE BUGS THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE. TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK. Installing a custom ROM on a Redmi 2 requires the bootloader to be unlocked on the Redmi 2 phone, which may VOID your warranty and may delete all your data. Before proceeding further you may consider backup all data on the phone. You are the only person doing changes to your phone and I cannot be held responsible for the mistakes done by you.
