This tutorial will teach you how to install CyanogenMod 13 on your Xiaomi Redmi 1S device. This version allows you to port the latest version of Android, Android 6.0 Marshmallow to your Xiaomi Redmi 1S. It is not yet confirmed that the Redmi 1S will receive the official Marshmallow update. The first devise to get the update include the Nexus 6P. In other words, for the many previously released Android devices, there won’t be an Android 6.0 Marshmallow update for quite some time (and there is no guarantee that your device will get updated). You can, however, choose to wait for the official Android 6.0 Marshmallow for the Xiaomi Redmi 1S OR you can get Android 6.0 Marshmallow on your Xiaomi Redmi 1S via the CM13 ROM.
Instructions
In order to install CM13 on your Xiaomi Redmi 1S you first need to download the CM13 ROM and simply flash it using a custom recovery like TWRP or Cyanogen recovery (which is available for most devices) with a factory reset/wipe data. he necessary downloads are available for you below. Before you continue, you should note that you would be required to download and install the necessary Gapps package for your version of Android. Currently we have a Gapps 5.1 Lollipop Download page but for this ROM you will need the Gapps 6.0 Marshmallow Download.
