The Lineage OS team has updated the list of devices that get the LineageOS 15.1 update. Official LineageOS 15.1 build (based on Android 8.1 Oreo) is now available on Xiaomi Mi Note 2 (scorpio) that bring Android 8.1 Oreo, several value added features and latest Android security patche to the device. Samsung Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ Exynos variants can also expect the official build soon.
Along with native Oreo 8.1 features, the LineageOS 15.1 latest build will bring Android P’s Lockdown function to Power menu, Cyan accent to system theme, GDPR-compliant dialer, improved Contacts app, dark UI for File manager and Jelly browser, updated Chromium webview version 65 and several customization options and features.
If you own Xiaomi Mi Note 2 (code-named scorpio) and want to try all the aforementioned features on it, then you can download the LineageOS 15.1 build and flash via TWRP custom recovery. As you all know, installing this ROM requires unlocked bootloader on the phone.
Keep in mind that the present status of the ROM is ‘Nightly’, which means the ROM is not fully stable. You may experience some unknown bugs while using this build. We do not recommend installing this build on your primary phone.
Installation:
If you have any issue installing the LineageOS 15.1 on Xiaomi Mi Note 2, first unlock the bootloader by going to Xiaomi’s unlock page and then install TWRP on it and then follow this guide.
Note that, as the ROM does not include Gapps (Google apps and services), users need to flash open Gapps after flashing the ROM to get Play store and other Google features.
