LineageOS 14.1 ?

I think mi note 2 has been out for a long time but it seems that developers without much attention to this phone. I'm curiously Why ?
Because of old story - MIUI never release kernel source code ? or ...
Whatever it is, I would like to see there is lineageOS 14.1 in this phone.

It's the old story of lack of kernel source. Historically kernel sources have been released about 3/4 months after global rom availability, which happened a few days ago.
It doesn't help that availability all round has been limited for these. With so many people wanting the global edition and there being shortages of that model there's just not that many of these around at the moment in the hands of people that want to mod it. MIUI is very popular in China.
I'm hoping another 3-6 months we'll start to see some serious progress.
Luckily it's in the same device tree as a few other recent releases so there's some level of cross compatibility, lithium (Mi Mix) for example would require only minor modification to work and there seems to be more dev interest in that,
I did consider making a cooked MIUI rom for the Mi Note 2 (inc. xposed, root, a few tweaks here and there) but there didn't seem to be much demand and realistically if you want those features you already get them yourself without any real struggle.

I'm an old dev for CyanogenMod on Xperia.
I will try to put Lineage OS when the source of the kernel will be available.
A port can be possible with the source of the One Plus 3t (i supposed) but is better to wait official release of the kernel.

These Lineage builds are by HondaJohn88 who I'm working with.
I've been bugging him to post them himself (when he does I'll get the old thread locked) but he hasn't yet.
Be aware that not every build he uploads is one that he's planning on sharing (or even an improvement over the last) - occasionally things break and some are more for archiving than actual use.
He shares his work in the Mi Note 2 Telegram group so I'd recommend joining so you can find out which build would be the most worthwhile.

[UNOFFICIAL][8.0.0]OREO[LINEAGE-15] Not booting up

Well you all would have already know that-↓
Lineage 15 is released for our Z2 Plus and is also available for download
I tried to install that rom
But I was getting error 7 and then error 6 !!
But Somehow I managed to get rid from it installed the rom successfully as well as gapps but it's not booting up
:crying:
And yes I how did I manage to install it?
I was getting error 7 and error 6 then I opened the "update script" file into the rom and deleted all asserts coding and even then it did not work. So after trying for 2 to 3 times it installed easily but was not booting up.
Just want that if you guys can check it and somehow it boots up

How did you finally manage to install the rom? Did you succeed? You did not write clearly. And where are the files located?

Wait for Oreo releases of the XDA Devs here instead of flashing untrusted stuff from the internet.

Z2 Plus is not officially supported by Lineage OS for now, so possibility of getting early builds is kind of unlikely, so please verify the source of the download once and refrain from flashing anything thats not released by our devs for now

I am new to XDA and That's why I was not permitted to add any external link to the rom (files) itself.
If I still can add external link so please tell me how to do it
And yes I how did I manage to install it?

I have read it all and That's why posted a question here so that you guys can somehow make it bootable because I am too excited and Oreo is ported without boot related bugs even for the older device like Moto x 1st Gen then why not for our device?

calm yourself and just gently show patience.
the devs here on XDA are working on Oreo, check the Offical AEX thread, Davide stated that the next build is going to be Oreo.
I wouldn't flash any ROM without having the ability to see the source code atleast. The site you found the ROM at does not look legitime to me at all.
Who knows what it will do/did to your device.
I mean if you dont care..

Temporary unofficial builds for h815

See: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/development/lineageos-unofficial-builds-h815-t3726177

So, one can just flash this over the most recent official build, using e.g. TWRP? I mean, one doesn't have to wipe or anything like that?
Also, just curious, how much work was it getting from the last official to this, in terms of time spent "changing code"?

I think you can't flash this over the latest official build, because of the different signatures. I haven't tryed it, so I don't know, but I guess it won't work.
If you try it, write back if it works or not, so that other users know
I haven't changed the code of lineage, since it works so far without changes.
It is nearly vanilla lineage, just with updated:
- security patches
- features
- proprietary blobs

Well, you can't flash over it, that much I can tell.
I just wonder how long the official build is gonna take, the phone is "new" (empty), but still, it takes time to set stuff up after a wipe...

Nobody knows. The bug exists since 2017-04-30, but nothing happens. And until the bug is not fixed, we don't get new official builds.
If you want to take the time to wipe and (re)setup your device is your decision.
But if you have the time, I would recommend it, mainly because of the security updates.

Do you know that I build unofficial? https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/development/rom-lineage-os-14-1-lg-g4-t3704019

Uh, there is work going on? This is great! I thought the device is dead, because nothing happens anymore on the LineageOS GitHub page for it. There is still no LOS 15.0 or 15.1 branch.
Great to her that there is still developing going on
Well, I help where I can. But I'm new to Android.
I have experience with Linux, use it every day, and now I know how to build LineageOS. I also can do Java programming.
But I never developed something with Android already. So I don't know how much I can help.

I'm pretty sure that LG has announced they will release an official Oreo build for the G4.
Perhaps the LOS people are waiting for that to happen so they can use some of their sources as a jumping-off point for LOS Oreo? I got the impression that happens in some cases but I'm not a dev so not clear on the specifics.

Where did you read this? I never read this somewhere and I don't think that there will ever be an official Oreo build for the G4.
They not even bring Nougat to all G4s, why they should work on Oreo for this old device?
I think from LGs side, the G4 is dead.

Hmm, perhaps I confused it with one of the other devices I had been investigating as a possible future project. (Eg, the HTC 10, LG V20, Moto Z, etc)
Someone in the following thread claimed it would happen for the G4, but others disputed it and a quick web search tends to reinforce that:

LOS 15.1

What do you think are the chances of this device getting support for Project Treble in the future, either from an official implementation with the MIUI 9.5 update or unofficial community port? I'm on the verge of purchasing this device but the lack of Treble is the only thing holding me back at the moment. Treble will be revolutionary for custom ROM support in 2018 and so it wouldn't make sense for a flashaholic like myself to purchase a device without it.

I already bought the device, but I would really like treble support for this phone

Fair enough. I'm just unsure what to do at the moment because I want to buy this phone but don't want to invest in something that won't receive Treble support in a few months time. Maybe I should just wait and see what the Mi7 has to offer, as that will come with Oreo pre-installed like the Mi MIX 2S. Hopefully it won't come with a notch.

Why do you care about treble so much for a device that already has AOSP support ?, N Based ROMs are fully stable-ish at this point, O based ROMs will follow after Miui O update, so treble wont do that much for us
but if you end up getting Mix 2S or any other device with treble support, you dont have to wait for devs to support to your phone, just unlock & flash GSI builds, Treble is still a hit or miss follow Honor/Huawei devices forums for more info's

Thanks. I was interested in Treble mainly because it would allow flashing Treble-based ROMs that could be installed on any device. When Android P comes around it would mean getting it a lot quicker than if the phone did not have support for Project Treble. Still, it's good to know that all the currently available ROMs for the Mi Note 3 are stable and Oreo ROMs will be coming shortly. It looks like Oreo is scheduled for mid-April so there isn't too much longer to wait.

I cannot wait to see treble ported for our mi note 3

I'm starting to think xiaomi won't release an Oreo MIUI for Mi Note 3. If that's the case, will we be forever stuck in nougat? I thought if our device get treble supports, upgrades to later Android Versions (P, Q, and so on) will be assured. But it's like hoping for an Oreo ROM is already too much

Hey,Can anyone please guide me how to build an Oxygen OS for the Mi Note 3?It would be of great help... regards

The last official builds of LOS 14.1 are still available for download from someone's ftp just using Wayback Machine. Unfortunately, all latest LOS 15.1 links are down now.

And here you can find one of the lasts — or maybe the last ever — official release of LOS 15.1 for Nexus 4.

Bro, I'm looking for it, but it seems that many official ones have stopped supporting it for a long time, but there are private ones. I have seen some that support Android 11. It should be the latest version. I haven't tried it yet. What do you think?

Thanks all. I flashed the Nexus 4 with the link Waldold provided above. Feels snappy and no showstoppers so far. Many thanks.
2021redmi2fans,
I am happier with older android releases, so I haven't been looking for private releases with more recent android versions. I just use f-droid.org for apps & no apps I've tried need anything so recent. I actually might even try an earlier release later on.
