https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B8I9RnxIQmQeV3VMM1FFU0RzazQ. Flash MIUI 8 as given in the link here. Take a backup of all your personal data to laptop. Use flash_all.bat(for Win) or flash_all.sh(for linux). I recommend flash_all script only.

i will try again after a few days and let others try this and see if they face any issue or not.

Also i have flashed miui 8 (latest global beta) via mi flash with flash_all only and that too more than once....

you can do one more thing, when you flash cm 12.1 and then flash sfos, after that try to wipe cache/dalvik cache and see. if not remove your sim cards and memory card and try.

The same bootloop problem happens to me too :(. Will try the suggested alternatives once Android app support is implemented. Thanks Dev.

Weird?? :confused: .... 4G didn't work for me. What are your APN setiings please share. Also share /etc/ofono/ril_subscription.conf.
Obviously Android apps integration is not yet possible, it is for later work. Yeah kernel is patched but I didn't know it had positive effects on battery too. Thanks for letting me know.
Here it is. And front camera also worked for me though there were some glitches in switching the front and back camera, but ultimately both worked.

Can anyone tell me if there is a whatsapp app available for SFOS? Don't have to be official, this is the only app that I do really need.

For all those having bootloop issues, including me. This bootloop is caused by low battery. So please do recharge your battery to 90-100% then flash your ROM. This bug is related to CM_12.1. You can't overcome it unless your base is CM_13. So keep in mind. Also don't let your sfos drain to dead or else it will go into bootloop.

If it still fails, you could revert back to Kitkat bootloader, it definitely solves the problem. Link provided https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8...3VMM1FFU0RzazQ. Or you could try to download Lollipop bootloader again, I have updated the Lollipop bootloader version for download.

    3-Sailfish-OS-UI-594x380.jpg
    Sailfish OS was originally developed for Nokia phones and was named Meego OS. The project was joint collaboration between Nokia and Intel. The project was later dropped by Nokia but Meego enthusiasts picked up the project and continued the Meego project under Sailfish OS and INTEX was the first ever company to officially tie it's phone to Sailfish OS ROM. For further info checkout : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sailfish_OS and https://sailfishos.org/

    This is the Alpha stable release still has many bugs so don't complain about it. Enjoy your newly built SFOS 2.0.5.6 for Xiaomi Redmi 2 device. This is not Android, this is pure Linux similar to Ubuntu based upon libraries from Android.

    For Newbies who don't know the difference between Sailfish OS and Android OS respectively a here is a compact difference list:
    1. Pure Linux vs Modified Linux kernel
    2. A real multitasker vs Naah not so much of multi-tasking.
    3. Store sucks vs Tons of Apps
    4.Android apps support too. vs Only Android app is supported.



    Change LOG (Compact):
    1. Kernel Patched for faster bootup.
    2. Wlan, BT, MultiSIM, PulseAudio,GPS fixed.
    3. Jolla Store is enabled
    4. Multi ROM support

    Steps:
    1. Go to TWRP recovery mode.
    2. Wipe All data except media.
    3. Flash CM-12.1 for Redmi 2
    4. Flash SailfishOS ROM.
    5. Reboot the system after wiping Cache/Dalvik Cache.

    There you go. Your SFOS 2.0.5.6 is now loaded. To skip the tutorial touch upper left corner of the screen and clockwise till bottom left corner.
    To debug and report error open terminal in Linux and type "telnet 192.168.2.15 2323". For Windows probably install telnet related services and libraries and use the same command in cmd prompt.

    Bugs:
    1. Front Camera doesn't work. Instead switching between them might lead to camera app crash, to resolve it switch back again to front or back cam.(Temporary soln).
    2. Media Player will not play song, to resolve it do the following
    3. 4G won't work (as of now). My 4G signal is too weak so it didn't work, my bad.(For JIO users : Go to Settings>Cellular Networks>Data Access point : Change Access point name from "jionet" to "www".)
    4. Android Apps won't work (as of now)
    5. Battery drain leads to bootloop

    SFDROID (Android App Support):
    How to install (For Linux Users only):
    1. Download the RPM files mentoioned here
    SFDROID:https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8I9RnxIQmQea0xxU3puYnc4Ymc
    2. Create a folder for these files separately.
    3. In your device goto Settings>Developer Settings and set your password and note down the I.P. address for USB if you are using USB for file transfer or Wifi for Wifi file transfer.
    4. Now go to the folder where RPM files are located and right click to open terminal
    5. Enter scp *.rpm nemo@"I.P. address for USB/Wifi": (Add colon ":" sign after the I.P. address, also if you are using USB for file transfer, use the USB I.P. Address mentioned in your developer settings and similarly for Wifi)
    6. Enter your password you have set previously and file transfer would begin.
    7. Now for USB connected phone open a new terminal and type telnet 192.168.2.15 2323 (If this is not the I.P. address for USB you can see the relevant I.P. address as shown in the Developer Settings of your phone and enter the same after telnet except for 2323(port number))
    8. Type su
    9. Now type cd /home/nemo
    10. Type ls to confirm that all files have been transferred successfully.
    11. Type rpm -i --force *.rpm
    12. Now type reboot
    13. After reboot again in the terminal type telnet 192.168.2.15 2323 and type killall surfaceflinger zygote system_server main servicemanager
    14. Now run SFDROID and wait for sometime your Android will load.
    15. For Wifi connected phone (Make a Wifi Hotspot on your computer and connect to the hotspot for the mobile device, don't use Wireless router, use direct connection b/w computer and mobile) open a new terminal and type ssh nemo@10.42.0.202 (Your I.P. address for Wifi as shown in the Developer setiings of your phone)
    16. Now type devel-su
    17. Now type in your password
    18. Now type cd /home/nemo
    19. Now type rpm -i --force *.rpm
    20. Now type reboot
    21. After reboot again type ssh nemo@10.42.0.202
    22 Type killall surfaceflinger zygote system_server main servicemanager
    Note: Android is bit sluggish and not perfect as a native Android, but hey at least you got your Android running.

    The CyanogenMod and Kernel isn't my proprietary it is the proprietary of CyanogeMod team and @ketut.kumajaya respectively. However the kernel has some changes made in accordance to SFOS and also I have patched it to decrease the boot up time delay.
