Firstly, I Apologize in advance. I know this might sound ungrateful to those who have already built so many cutom roms for this device. But let me ask those whoever read this nonetheless.
Some of you might know Paranoid Android or better known as AOSPA. I think this ROM deserve more love for our device, with how much love developers put behind this project. Not to mention the history behind it. It doesn't mean other roms are bad or something. I've been searching for the latest build but only found the abandoned one. I don't have the knowledge or the gear to build one.
So I ask you, kindly who might read this and have the required knowledge. Would you mind take your time and check the sources of said rom? If it tickles your fancy, I would be grateful if you could build it as well. By the way, the ROM is based on CAF.
These are the sources of said ROM

Please someone prot paranoid android 6.0 rom to redmi 2.it is one of the most favorite custom rom for android smartphones
Yeah we hope someone also bring this rom to our device, currently we have some great devs(ketut.kumajaya, s.sawrav, premaca, ashish94, nicknitewolf and many more) working hard on our device, we are very thankful to them. But who knows someday this will also be available for our device. For now we have much more than we hoped.
If you are interested in PA,and you do have means to build and distribute ROMs,you can contact Paranoid team personally
Count me in as a tester.
ive taken the liberty of requesting the mokee team to port the rom over to the qualcomm E4+ model. i know we have a partially working lineage so that should help them. id just love to see development happen. especially when most devs are now working on oero roms. please take the time to request or like my post on the mokee teams google plus page. :good:

Support:
We spend an astonishing amount of time developing this software. We can't spend much time on XDA as a result, so if you need support, please try the following:
1) Search. Search, search, search. Yes, you. I don't care how unique or important your question is, it's very likely someone has adressed it already. Especially if you're even close to new at this.
2) Read our FAQ, which can be found on our website. Carbon FAQ
3) Ask a question in your device forum. Someone will no doubt try to help you. Warning: this help may come in the form of telling you it's a dumb question that has been asked before. See step 1 - such are the perils of asking questions when you haven't done the research yourself. Android is about helping yourself.
4) Join our Discord server! There, you can connect with other Carbon users and our developers, and you can get quicker responses to your bug reports. The invite link is right below.
We recommend Unofficial PieGapps. OpenGApps should work, but please make sure you clearly mention the gapps you're using when reporting bugs.

I tried but I don't tested all parts, but that parts seems to work for me:
-Wifi
-Audio
-No Graphic glitch
-sdcard
-Google Play Services (if you install gapps)
I'm going back to Android P Semi-GSI PR1, because I don't like the default launcher, and if I remove it or change it, the recent screen will be Oreo similar recents
I have been using this ROM for like 4 days and I can say it's super stable! The stock launcher is very snappy and I haven't had any performance issues. I have a ton of apps installed which make up for 33% of the avaliable space and I haven't had any problems. Highly recommend this build, if you want to try out the new Android P this is the way to go. Also to fix some display errors (on the notification bar) you should change the DPI to 372 or more otherwise the QS tiles get to close to the right and left margins of the screen Other than that everything works perfectly
Thx developer for making this awesome ROM looking forward in future I think many probs will be fixed
Thank you very much

Hello,
always a pleasure to have an enthusiast joining the ranks.
You may want to check out the ROM development (the whole platform OR a kernel alone). Some links for you to start with
[Sony Open Device Project](https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/) - this would be the starting point for anyone wishing to deal with the Android software; provides the guides for building full fledged AOSP and mainline kernel
[Sony Xperia developers Github](https://github.com/sonyxperiadev) - the repository for all the code necessary for AOSP and kernel; it is a "wiki" for further development steps; issues are discussed in [https://github.com/sonyxperiadev/bug_tracker]
[Sony AOSP builds with some additions](https://github.com/SonyAosp) - the AOSP code repository with forked sources from XperiaDev Github and with some additions that make the builds more usable (TWRP as a default recovery, OpenGApps already included, etc.); a great resource for a deeper dive into the intricacies of the building-from-source flow; can be used to compare with the barebone AOSP from the official XperiaDev and learn some insights
[LineageOS Wiki](https://wiki.lineageos.org/) - an enthusiast may want to build a Lineage OS instance for the device on his own, the wiki is a great start.
You also might want to get familiar with the followings as a references:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/chef-central/android/guide-android-rom-development-t2814763 - an XDA complete guide to AOSP building
https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/xda-university/literature-reading-getting-aosp-t3268211 - a collection of references for further insights
https://review.lineageos.org - LineageOS Gerrit platform for a better understanding of the build flow from the perspective of commits
https://github.com/omnirom/Docs/blob/master/Porting_Omni_To_Your_Device.md - a guide to porting an OmniROM to a given device; may be used as another reference to better understand the buidling flow
https://www.aicp-rom.com/ - AICP project home; another source of information for AOSP porting
https://github.com/AndroPlus-org - a reference for kernel development
Happy coding!
I don't understand
Have you looked at the Telegram group? A lot of development seems to bypass xda these days. That slightly worries me as the ROMs are all unofficial and I'm always worried what might get added - surprising we don't get ROM based malware more often. At least here reputation is long term so that seems less of a risk.

Yes, I'm up to date on telegram, that's why I ask, they are all unofficial custom roms or ports and I don't understand why no dev team works on official roms

I wish I knew - staying on MIUI until there's something official, ideally crDroid, Lineage or similar long term projects.
To avoid any errors of judgement:
Official ROM maintainers are not supposed to make changes to the source. So, they are not likely to fix any bug which is related to the source. Meanwhile, unofficial ROM maintainers are not having any restrictions. They are free to make any changes to the source to suit their needs. So, the unofficial maintainers often fix source-related bugs before the official one.

That's how I understand it, and having that level of code review in the official builds is what almost guarantees you can trust a ROM with your banking etc. I haven't actually heard of any unofficial ROM being naughty, but there's nothing to stop it.

For having used with several devices, several official or unofficial roms over several years, I have never had a problem with banking apps (for those who support them, of course).
Note that when there are no more brand updates, the developers are obliged to modify the source to continue to develop the rom.
XDA is a trustworthy source, for others I don't know.
And following that explanation...why are there other low-priced xiaomi models and also old models that have many official roms here on xda? I am very concerned that we have many unofficial aosp roms on telegram and here on xda absolutely none. Why do the devs of this model never publish on xda and other xiaomi models do? That doesn't give me confidence and I still don't understand
