Hello guys, I have a Xiaomi Redmi 2 1GB Version model: 2014811 and for now I'm using CM 13.
I came to CM from MIUI6 or 7 (KitKat) and I would like to ask you if it's possible to try MIUI 8 with an option coming back to CM if I wouldn't like new MIUI. Thanks a lot guys!
Install TWRP recovery and do nandroid backup.
After that flash rom What u want, if u dislike just restore ur backup
Possible !!
You can Flash MIUI 8 like any other rom via Twrp (use 3.0/3.0.2 , as it copes with Lollipop Boot partition) , Now the Question for Coming back to Cyanogen Mod (or any other custom rom in that context) is a Detour .
What I mean is , From MIUI 8 , you can't Flash any other Custom roms .. only MIUI (any version of it) is Flashable , the reason for this is The Bootloader Security that Comes with Lollipop based MIUI .
So , to Make your way back to CM (or any other custom rom ) , you must First Downgrade to MIUI based on KitKat ... then you'll be able to do Any thing , any flashing again ...

Won't work , Not directly from MIUI 8 to Cyanogen Mod ... Bootloop Guaranteed 100?

Not anymore, the latest CM builds are compatible with Lollipop bootloader. Thanks to Kumajaya.

Hello . I wanna install cyanogenmod 11 but i have problem . Wanna I install this rom http://download.androidarmv6.org/_builds/totoro/stable/ ? Is stable? Or i must install latest nightly version ? What is better ? And i need custom kernel or no?
You need to download the common shared kernel for totoro.Those are beta builds,don't flash coz they are having some bugs.If you want to flash it anyways,please take a look at the flashing instructions on psyke83's CyanogenMod 11 thread.
Cyanoenmod 11 stock kernel or no ?

You need to be on stock ROM and stock kernel in order to flash kernel and the ROM.

Thank You .
No, you'd better not.

on mine sound options in settings are working fine i don't know about proximity bug since i used it only for 20 mins. but you can try doing a new clean flash or try proximity bug fix patch for kitkat roms avilable on smokerman.blogspot.com
by the way on which base did u installed
this is kitkat base!! is it possible to have marshmallow based miui?
And is there multi window feature in this rom? because I heard that miui8 is MM based!

Hello guys...
It been good reading through all the articles. I rooted my phone, flashed a custom recovery( TWRP), has a Xposed module up and running. I would like to try a custom ROM now. However as I don't have much experience using ADB and fastboot I'm kinda stuck.
#Which is the best ROM I could try?
#Can you suggest a ROM I can flash using Flashify or TWRP instead of setting up ADB?
Well you can flash all roms thru TWRP but first you have to wipe and factory reset.But if you wish to flash Android versions above kitkat you have to be on lolipop or to flash a zip you can find on some of ED300s posts or in thread called base switcher.I hope i was somewhat clear i ll try and link you all the links later.Also for me best roms are some of mshoibs7 ports like Nexus rom or ResurrectionRemix for MM or ED300 CM 12.1 for LL or ED300 CM11 for KK.And best custom kernels from harsh1998 also there is a MIUI rom that is fantastic but i prefer a clean UI.Best Luck
Go for cm11 in kikat
Cm12.1 or telo mokee in lollipop and if u wana test marshmallow then you can go for RR or Mokee Rom they are so good... Just keep in mind. As u r in stock kitat u can flash cm11 directly from recovery and u can also flash cm12.1 directly.. I tried the both.. And if u wana go for any other rom they u should flash the firmware or alternative way is u hv to flash cm12.1 then u can install and rom of lollipop or marshmallow but u can't install the kitkat rom directly after that.. U again have to flash the firmware
I want to install on my device the LineageOS, but for this I need to update my bootloader to the LP version. How I do this?
Just flash Latest lolipop based custom ROM.Search it in miui forum.Or flash lolypop firmware.U maybe find it guide section.
Just a advice .....before making a new thread about something just search a little bit if this has discussed before or not.
I think I made a mistake in my post.
It is .....Just flash latest MIUI (LP) ROM found on MIUI forum....
Edit:---
In the first line I typed custom by mistake.....
1)flash any latest MIUI LP ROM found on MIUI forum or xiamoi.eu
2)flash lollypop firmware if u found it some where.
3)flash thunder MIUI @gkalen latest version
U will get LP bootloader.....Go as u wish
U need to flash miui 6.29.9 ROM of Redmi 2 prime via fastboot to get LP boot loader
Just flash the firmware uploaded in lineage os rom forum
Flash miui Redmi 2 prime ROM
Flashing any custom roms before flashing prime's rom won't get u lollipop firmware
