Xiaomi Mi 2 (xiaomi-aries)

WARNING: This device is not recommended for future use with postmarketOS due to its armhf architecture. Alpine Linux (the distribution that postmarketOS extends) pmaports#599 has been considering dropping it.

This device is still running on armhf, although the processor supports armv7. If you own it, change it and test it that way.

Progress

In pmaports!168 I used outdated cm11 kernel from LineageOS, it boots fine but I wasn't able to get the display working.

Then I switched to the kernel which is still maintained by GuaiYiHu from MoKee. By following the steps on Troubleshooting:display and Tuning_sysfs, the display was enabled.
