Android Oreo on Redmi Note 4 | Guide

Well being a device whose source code is quite easily available, tons of custom ROMs are quite expected. The Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 is one of them resulting in getting stock based custom ROMs quite early from 3rd Party developers from XDA and much more so that you don’t have to wait for official MIUIs updates which are obviously gonna be late. Same this time, it has also got the Oreo based ROM to give users that experience packed in the bundles of Lineage OS 15.0. So Go through the guide below and get Android Oreo on your device-
