After so much hardwork and efforts of our beloved superhero uncle @ketut.kumajaya and his supporter @emfox, we finally have official CM support for our beloved RedMi 2!
Original development thread is located HERE


NOTE:-
If you are coming from lollipop MIUI, no problem to flash CM13 directly as uncle Kuma made it lollipop firmware compatible!
_____
If you are on Kitkat bootlader (as me) and face no issues with it, stick to it.
_____
Further if you want to upgrade to lollipop firmware, see these posts below:-
FOR 2014813 ONLY:- See THIS and follow as given.
FOR OTHER MODELS:- Download THIS flashable zip and put in your sdcard and flash it after ROM and GApps

Credits- @NeoDarkness



THINGS YOU'LL NEED:

1. LATEST NIGHTLY: https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=wt88047

2. TWRP: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24533100289591162

3. OpenGapps 6.0 ARM (Nano Recommended): www.opengapps.org

4. Battery charged above 95%(min).



INSTALLATION:
Before installation make sure you have a nandroid backup.

1. Flash TWRP with fastboot.
(I will write a short & simple guide on this shortly.)
2. Put Nightly and Gapps zip files in sdcard.
3. Boot into recovery.

4. Go into Wipe-->Advanced wipe-->Select "data, system, dalvik/art cache, cache" and wipe them by sliding the bar at bottom.

5. Go back and go into Install--> Select the correct ROM zip file. Flash it by sliding the bar at bottom.
6. After ROM flashing is complete, flash GApps by same method.
7. Wipe cache again.
8. Reboot.

Let the phone boot. It doesn't take so much time to boot.


CONGRATS, YOU SUCCESSFULLY INSTALLED CM 13 OFFICIAL NIGHTLY ON YOUR REDMI 2 !

Use ARM nano gapps always.
We do have a 64 bit SOC but not 64 bit kernel. Still running 32 bit MM.

no bugs for a nightly?

No. Blue flashes are reported but they're very are rare. You can avoid them by turning off the force gpu rendering in developer option

So can i use this ROM as my daily driver? Hows the battery life?
also do all the basic features like the camera, bluetooth, wifi, etc work perfectly?
Is this using x64?

No x64 support until xiaomi releases lollipop sources.
Best as daily driver.
Everything works best. Wifi is strong.
I get approx 5.30 hrs of SOT.
Camera is good too.

    Blue screen flickering - solution

    I have the same problem, the blue flicker always made me annoyed. please fix thisss

    Hi there! I used to have the same problem (blue screen flickering) on multiple Marshmallow ROMs that I've tried. Few weeks ago I have installed CM13 snapshoot, and once again I faced the same issue. So I decided to try installing custom kernel. And now the flickering is gone! And for now I must say I'm really happy with this ROM + Kernel. It works pretty good, and I haven't had any issues with it in my 10+ days of usage.

    So this is the fix; install Berserk Kernel. You can find it on this forum quite easily, or use this link. I also installed kernel adiutor and set optimal settings the way they are recommended in kernel's thread.

    I'm not an expert or anything of that sort. I'm just saying what worked for me and fixed my problem, so you can try it for yourself and see if it helps.
    It would be nice of you to reply here so other users looking for solution to this problem have more feedback regarding this issue.
