Introduction
A spinoff thread from the previously-supported-official thread by Atman.
This thread will contain my unofficial builds for violet. On the 16.0 version, the only real fix (so far...) have been the fingerprint scanner sepolicy denials. I aim to do monthly/bimonthly builds to keep up to date with security patches, as so far I haven't encountered any other issues (let me know).
On the 17.1 version, I have slowly figured out how to make it work, but it is highly experimental.
The 16.0 ROM is stable (I use it as my daily driver).
If you find any bugs, please do take screenshots, give a way for me to replicate it on my device, and send a logcat. If you're super smart, use a logcat and filter for the keyword so I don't have to do even more digging
Please don't tell me to use PE/Mokee commits.
Yet another update. I've got 17.1 builds working without having to resort to cheap tricks and commits (sort of).
Flash instructions
Same as usual:
Downloads (16.0) (STABLE)
Downloads (17.1)
Here's the 17.1 ROM. Here's the md5 hash. It has the March security patch.
It currently does not boot. If you would like to try and help with development, flash the ROM, and then flash the Chinese Q firmware on top of it (this can be downloaded from xiaomifirmwareupdater). Be warned that there is a risk that the newest android keymaster may re-encrypt your device, which in the worst case may require you to format data and/or reflash recovery and/or flash a fastboot MIUI rom. So, it's a bit risky, but likely won't be an issue.
Credits, Sources, etc.
Too many to mention. Atman Shah for getting this device supported earlier last year. ThE_MarD (Marc Bougoin) for other help. Various other names I've seen - Bruno Martins, Weikai Kong, Wang Han... all of the Lineage dev team. I'm sure I'm missing many people who have been involved in the project. I am new, and very much a latecomer to all of this.

Flash instructions
Same as usual:
- Reboot to fastboot and flash recovery with fastboot (You have to use the TWRP linked below. Other versions likely won't boot.)
- Reboot to recovery TWRP
- Wipe to format data, wipe again to wipe system and cache (not necessary if you're updating, only if you're switching ROMs)
- Flash firmware (ADB sideload) (this step is dated. The newer builds have a higher target firmware so you should try to flash without the firmware first, then flash the firmware if the ROM doesn't work.)
- Flash the ROM (sideload)
- Flash GApps, Magisk, etc. as necessary
- Done
Downloads (16.0) (STABLE)
- Firmware (Dated firwmare)
- Recovery (TWRP)
- 11-Jun-2021 build (with 05-May-2021 security patch), and MD5 Digest
- For previous builds see below
