[Redmi2][OFFICIAL] XOSP-6.3-FINAL-MM-20160717-wt88047

* Your warranty is now void * I am not responsible for bricked devices, What is XOSP and how was it born? XOSP stands for the Xperia Open Source Project. The project was initially created by me @nilac) for the Galaxy S+ (my old device) years ago. Back then the ROM was called S+ Reborn. The vision was to create a minimal bloat free ROM which included Sony Xperia specific apps and various tweaks users would expect from a custom ROM. S+ Reborn became a success and was eventually ported to different devices so from there I rebranded and XOSP project was founded. I worked on the project for 2 years always trying to improve it. Eventually, Because of the fact Lollipop was buggy on my Galaxy S+ (Which I maintained xosp for at the time) I decided to take a break from development until I got my hands on the zenfone 2 which from there xosp development has continued ever since. Revisions and Releases Revisions include small changes such as bug fixes/improvments etc.. (there are 5 revisions until a new Release is made) Releases are the final "stable" builds with all new planned features implemented and bugs fixed Based on CM 13.0 Removed many unnecessary apps and stuff as well as CM ones StatusBar Clock font style StatusBar Clock font size Added StatusBar Date & style options Added option for date style/position, left-right of clock Xperia Z5 inspired LockScreen style Xperia Fonts Xperia Battery Text prototype Time Contextual Headers XOSP Universal dialog for Shutdown/Reboot and Dexopting Process XOSPOTA Stock Kernel Snap Camera ViPER Audio Engine Theme Chooser Xperia based Bootanimation Custom Framework and SystemUI Xperia drawables XOSPFileManager Xperia Z5 sounds Xperia X Wallpapers XOSPSetupWizard Custom Materialized Stock Browser is custom themed Contacts is custom themed (Much more Xperia Style) Dialer is custom themed (Much more Xperia Style) Status bar logo Navigation Bar ON/OFF NavBar dimensions SlimDim HW Keys ON/OFF SlimSeek Bar Status bar Network Traffic indicator RAM Bar in recents options Toast Animations Long Press back to kill in Development Settings Ability to hide the Super SU status bar icon Dashboard Columns Dashboard double lines toggle Double Tap to sleep anywhere on the lockscreen On-the-go Mode Double tap to sleep on navigation bar SystemApp remover Omni inbuilt SystemUI Screen recording SuperSU Xperia Apps Xperia Z5 Home app Album App PhotoEditor PhotoAnalyzer Xperia Keyboard (aka textinput-tng) Music (former WALKMAN) Video SemCalendar AudioRecorder (Material Version) ClockWidgets Sketch SmartConnect WallpaperPicker (For Xperia X custom wallpapers) Weather App Wheater Widget Walkman Widget Track ID SomcPodcast SemcDLNA First time installing XOSP on your Redmi 2, or coming from another ROM?
