Is P2 good enough for running on Marshmallow + Xposed? - Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers

There are a couple problems mentioned like youtube lip sync issues. What are other problems ? Will this handset be fine for running marshmallow or will i be forced to upgrade to 7.0 for missing basic functionalities

All basic functions work out of the box. The latest s244 nouget update fixed almost all remaining issues like audio since..

I plan to run marshmallow + Xposed FW

Should be good enough. But I prefer nouget as it's buttery smooth.

Upgrade to lollipop and lose Xposed, or stay on kitkat for those awesome modules?

Well?
Personally I'm going to wait for a bit, I've 21 modules atm, probably could live without some, but not all of them.
Still no progress or ETA on xposed for touchwiz either, so it looks like we're stuck for now [emoji30] [emoji30]
Stick with kitkat. To me lollipop brings nothing but limited functionality until xposed is properly working.
Also lollipop has battery life issues. I've downgraded all my devices to kitkat.

I'm using the recently-found TW Lollipop on my T700 and am finding that I'm not missing xposed as much as I thought I would. Still rooted though (mostly for Adaway, Greenify and LMT).
Which modules are you using?
I also stay to kitkat just for xposed.. Even nova can't be shown in landscape tablet mode without xposed / app settings.. So in tablet xposed is actually a must..
Also lollipop is not have battery problem, it is more smooth so there is a dilemma here.. In galaxy s5 lollipop (custom rom) is better than kitkat.
Samsung is doing everything it can to make people not buy products again.. I can understand the knox thing, but can't understand why it is the only company that here products doesn't support xposed. I am sure that if she wanted, it could make its code compatible. Next time i won't buy Samsung, and i am big Samsung fan.. Perhaps if more people do the same, Samsung will get the message...

I completely agree and to attempt to play that one app game of mine that I would love (that literally stopped working)... how can one downgrade back to kitkat? I read somewhere that you can't do that, but you did and I'd like to be pointed in the right direction so I can get kitkat back on my tablet (and actually enjoy it as I went straight to lollipop the minute I pulled it out the box.)

Your opinion on ROM + xposed

So I bought this device in order to switch ROMs like I did with my OPO, and then I discovered I won't get the high quality camera if I switch ROMs.
Problem is I get bored without flashing anything...
So I thought about flashing some OOS based nougat ROM but then I'll lose Xposed.
What did you do?
Did you stay on stock mm like I did?
Would love to hear suggestion and your opinion, maybe I'm missing something

I made the switch to nougat from having xposed framework , i had all the best mods and i thought I'd regret it moving to nougat but it's honestly not that bad for a start if you still want to block YouTube ads then you can install a patched version of adfree YouTube for nougat and for the visual UI mods there's substratum which is very decent there's also adaway for adfree browsing which again still works perfect on nougat and the doze mode has been improved alot but as always the choice is yours but I'm glad i switched and besides the Dev of the xposed is working on nougat in his spare time so we will get it eventually , i hope this helps your decision ...

Thanks! this is exactly why I asked this question, didn't know there are patched versions for nougat.
You convinced me to at least give it a try.
Your favorite OOS based ROM? Stock?
There's actually an adblocked and background playback-enabled YouTube app now. You can find it here. Alternatively, you could always give dual booting a try.
Xposed will come next year, forget about xposed on sdk25 this year.
Still on stock mm
Can't live without xposed
Cheers

Official Xposed for Nougat now available

Official Xposed Framework for Android Nougat is Here – Download your Favorite Modules Now!
Announcement by rovo89 in XDA thread
Anyone tried it yet? Please give your feedback here.
He also says Xposed for Oreo won't be a long wait!
Tried it on a stock build, rooted, BL unlocked, etc. Installs great. The Youtube adaway works well, greenify doesnt work yet. the others I use arnt supporting N yet. only a matter of time
either way, its safe to install, make sure you install the correct version, and wipe cache on boot, or else stuff breaks
I mainly used (on my Moto X Pure running MM): GravityBox (which is supposed to be ready), Youtube adaway, and Youtube background play. Greenify and Amplify too but not nearly as important on this phone. OG Youtube has given me pretty much the same capability using custom ROMs, though, along with some of the customization you get in Gravitybox. I do wonder about a potential performance hit running the Xposed framework, but it'd sure be nice having the full stock camera functionality again.

Can you please share the direct download link of what needs to be flashed/installed first? It would be great if you can mention the order of flash/install as well? This is for users like me who would be requiring some help.
Also, I have magisk 14 installed on my rooted g5 Plus and am seeing Xposed Installer in the Downloads section? Can you please confirm if this is the official one?

I'm using the GB beta. It's working well for me. No need to flash AOSP anymore :laugh:
GB has all the things I like to flash LOS for and I don't have to deal with any bugs :good:
I've got it running too, thanks to the favorable feedback getting me to take the plunge after not being on stock for several months. Am using the Youtube Adaway that appears under Installer/Download, then found a Youtube Background Playback module apk that seems to work fine, and the GravityBox/Nougat also as an apk (says it's alpha, not beta). No errors or problems so far and settings are holding after reboots.
I'm really not a big camera user but the stock camera is noticeably brighter and just works way better than those on the custom roms. Viper4Arise (flashed as a zip in TWRP) works on everything but SoundCloud, which I think is a nougat thing because it works on all the oreo roms I tried, but also didn't on most nougat roms.
I'd say it's definitely a go for those wanting to try it, just do some research to see if your preferred modules are working or not, and don't expect it to be perfect yet since it just came out.

How is the audio clarity and quality when compared to the stock ROM? I have stopped flashing any custom ROMs - be it Oreo or Pie just because of this issue. Also, could you please share the full camera version that you are currently using - is that without the Portrait mode? Also, how much screen-on time are you getting?
Hello there... this post got my interest too. I have jumped back and forth between stock and custom. It is sad "for me" that it seems most devs have given up on supporting / maintaining Oreo 8.1. Everyone is trying to iron out the bugs in a Pie custom... however, I simply want the stability to be there... especially with the camera features and battery life. I am not a gamer either, btw. With all of that said, I have a question or two please.
1. Why did you quote using an older version of Magisk? Is there a compatibility thing that I should be aware of?
2. With the Gcam mod you referenced, does stability work smoothly while recording video? I have found that in many custom builds the stability mode can be jerky and no too smooth.
TIA

miui 10 oreo ota

Just got the ota for the global stable oreo update, is it any good? does it have any bugs?
I got a message "updater process ended with error :7" can't in stall OTA.
That means that ROM is not for your phone for whatever reason. Your only option is to flash the firmware with mi flash tool.

I've done update to lastest 10.1.10.OAGMIFI ROM after flash new recovery (TWRP 3.2.3). But I don't recommend it.
8.0 ROM is worst then 7.0., XPOSED made bootloops, TWRP BACKUP is not working properly and stopped working completly so I had to FLASH ZCX-TWR again, do FACTORY RESET (because partition was ENCRYPTED) and flash stable 10.1.1.0 NAGMIFI 7.0 again with Magisk 18 and Xposed 89.
I have been uısing 8.0 for a while now. Performance wise its quite good, no havent encountred any bugs (except for fingerprint when I lock my screen while playing games. Most likely because of ram). The main issue is battary life is quite bad compared to 7.0 due to disabled throttling. Yes the cpu does not throttle like the previous miui roms so it can reach 2.15 GHZ and there are no overheating issues. If you are not playing a lot of games like me you would feel happy about this rom I think. If you play games, depending on your priority (battary vs performance) you could again love this rom.
The phone still throttles, as expected. You can easily test this with the app "CPU Throttling Test".
I'm happy with 8.0, because I can now (finally) use AptX with my Bluetooth headphones with vastly improved audio quality.
In my case the battery time remained the same, compared to MIUI9 roms.
My phone is not rooted or anything.
