Best official Rom for Lenovo P2

I have been using the Lenovo P2 for quite some time now. We have all received nougat on our P2 and we know that Lenovo follows a rather annoying one update policy for it's devices. Hence I believe the future of this device is faded, at least from Lenovo's point of view and would like to know which is the best official ROM for Lenovo P2 right now?

Define "official"... I think the only official ROMs are Lenovo's...

A ROM which is capable of being a daily driver and has support from the developers

Best depends on your perspective of your usage & requirements.
Though I'd say
Offical LOS 14.1
which is getting weekly OTAs & monthly security patches. pretty stable as stock.
AOSIP 8.1 by Shubham
almost stable may be better in feature than LOS, I've used it for quite a while but its SE Linux is Permissive which causes some apps non functional.
Beside these two i also used LOS15.1 , RR & other Oreo ROMs they are currently under development but can be used as daily drivers because all major bugs like volte, nfc ect. has been solved in almost all Oreo ROMs for P2. But again SE Linux is not Enforcing in these ROMs so you'd need to root to make some apps run.
It'd say you'd try yourself which suits your requirements best use it as your daily driver.

Hey! Have you tried out the pixel experience ROM. It looks promising. Not sure about the updates and stuff as there are not a lot of people talking about it on p2. Hence the stability and reliability of that pixel experience ROM is unsure. Here is the link- https://download.pixelexperience.org/

I believe LOS 14.1 on nougat 7.1.2. The pixel experience ROM is on Oreo 8.1.

Pixel experience is not updated for a while and it is not going to be updated, I think. You can go with AEX or Cardinal rom as these two have developer support now. Cardinal rom is official too, so OTA updates will be available. If it is nougat, only Lineage rom have weekly updates. :good:

Which Nougat ROM (for 815) with latest Android security patches?

Hi!
Thanks for a great forum!
I am going to go MM->N on my G4 but I would like to have current security patches, or at least have one that is as late as possible.
What ROM would you suggest?
Thanks in advance

AOSCP N unofficial. Check out the OP in the official 6.0.0 thread and from the unofficial link there you can get the 4.2 nougat version too

Hmmm
Thanks,
I wonder why the official build isn't N, given that there are N-compatible blobs for everything...
Or is AOSCP a blobfree OS?

No. Every ROM has blobs. AOSCP has moved to O for its official releases and discontinued N as it is old.
However for the G4 there are a few deal bugs (no bt hands free calls and no flashlight tile) that aren't in N (although encryption works on O unlike N)

Hi,
I am using AOSCP Oreo, but do not like that bluetooth is not working properly. Therefore I want to downgrade to Nougat..
Is there any Nougat ROM with the latest security patches from December 2018? The latest AOSCP Nougat version is from April 2018.
Thanks in advance!

Will Lineage OS 14.1 be the last official LOS it will ever get?

The latest version is 15.1. I thought N7 would get 15.1 eventually, but now I get the feeling that 14.1 would be the last official LOS for it. Am I right?
If so, I would like to move to another custom OS.

What's 14.1 based on?

Interesting. Do you know if it works well on the Nexus 7 2013. Mines become slow now, maybe flash this to give it new life. Do you also know if Netflix works ok?

What ? LOS 14.1 is based od Nougat 7.1.2
LOS 15.1 is 8.1 Oreo based

Its difficult to meet the charter of lineage which they began after 15.1 (oreo) for such old device.
But then, never say never. Two separate teams are working on it, lets hope we get official this time.

I can confirm without a shadow of a doubt that LOS 15.1 with Oreo 8.1 is, in fact, running and working fine on my Nexus 7 2013 (flo), can't comment though on the LTE version as there may be other demons to trample on that one. I am amazed at how fast and beautiful the OS actually is.

Custom ROM security updates

Which custom ROM is most consistent in providing up to date security updates and patches as well as other updates for Redmi Note 8? I currently use Paranoid quartz 4 and the last security update was July. Are there any better ROMs in security?

why you care about security updates ?
your update (july) is old
the most consistent up to date roms are
Resurrection Remix/MSM Xtended/Havoc/corvus/bliss
(MSM stop releasing A10 roms and start working on A11)
i suggest Resurrection Remix and MSM Xtended

Question When will there be a custom rom for ANDROID 13?

I'm waiting!

Whenever you see the first sightings of AOSP A13 then we'll start to see custom roms, after that Lineage will build and then we'll likely see more roms as many use lineage base

soon

Any millennium now....

There is already a Evolution X alpha build of Android 13 for lemonades (works on both lemonadep [OnePlus 9 Pro] and lemonade [OnePlus 9]). With that being said, I do not recommend using it as your daily driver. We are likely not gonna see a relatively stable version of Android 13 for a few weeks or months at least. If you want get the link for the Evolution X Android 13 alpha then you can find it under their SourceForge.

doesn't work, alpha build is for OP9R only and not unified for OP9P

Thanks for confirming, previous builds on Android 12 were unified for our OnePlus 9 Pro. So it is a slightly confusing that they aren't for Android 13 yet. I guess if you give it a little bit, they should push a unified build for Android 13, as the device maintainer for us is actually one of the core dev team members that work the Evolution X source. Another thing that makes it rather likely that we will be getting it soon is that they are already starting to release Android 13 builds on certain devices like the K20 Pro/Mi 9T, albeit they aren't stable which is expected for such a new version.

yes, no need to be in such a hurry either, I bet Lineage will try an a13 version soon too, but unlikely to be stable for use soon, we are still polishing the a12 with our latest firmware

If the past is any indication, I don't think we'll see anything related to Lineage 20 show up in the LOS Gerrit until later this year or early next year. They're always a bit slower out of the gate with new Android releases, but that's usually to their advantage, as their initial releases are usually much more stable. Any Android 13 ROMs that come out now can definitely be categorized as "bleeding edge," and if you rely on your phone as a daily driver... well, I wouldn't trust them right now on mine. Best to wait out the initial teething period is my philosophy.

First LineageOS 19.1 Builds were relased at 26 april 2022, while android 12 debut was in october 2021. At least six months of wait...

Which means that it's likely we'll see the first LineageOS 20 builds some time in January or February 2023. Though, perhaps it won't take quite as much work as it did going from Android 11 to 12, since 13 is more of an iterative update than the substantial one that 11-->12 was. I suppose we'll find out soon enough.

How about we work on the stability of custom A12 ROMs first? Remember, the ROMs can sometimes only be as good as their sources they come from.

Yeah, I don't know why people are in such a hurry to keep upgrading. For me, a fully rooted phone on A11 or A12 is all I need....

Never saw the need to move beyond OOS 11.2.10.10 and Magisk 23, especially after seeing the reactions to OOS 12. When OOS 13 comes out, I'll wait for a couple of months before deciding if I want it. My phone is not a toy.

In my honest opinion A13 has a better chance of being more stable the A12.1 roms as the transition from A11 to A12 was quite the jump but A13 isn't that large of an update and therefore hopefully after proper sources are released it shouldn't be all that bad. I do however think it would be a waste of time to build anything before OOS13 vendor comes out because it'd just be a hassle to rebase that soon
