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...

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/

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:

Nice List will try atleast one.

Thanks for this useful list, I didn´t know about that some roms for this device like dotOS, CrDroid, Mokee (my preferred with RR).
I use mi-globe rom and it is most stable from miui roms, include iPhone like gestures, only free themes (no micredit required themes) and accept third party themes but i didn´t try yet multirom or miui pro.

Are above mentioned miui ROMs have one finger quick reply from notification bar feature? And are they based on global or China
And suggest me one based on global rom

Camera does NOT work for the most 3rd party apps (as I know!)

For LOS the known bug should be: camera not working in 3rd party app, at least that's the latest I tested.

Whichever GSI rom you wanted to flash this would be the procedure just flash the GSI you wanted to but i recommend taking a full backup of your current rom if anything goes wrong.

Nah, device-specific functions like FP gestures don't work out of box. Someone posted somewhere on our forums flashable zip for GSI's to make that function work. It's fresh thread, saw it today. I only did quick GSI test but everything else seems to work just fine.
I'm going to fully test one of these treble ROMs in upcoming days but actually I'm thinking which one should I flash.

Yep and I was frustated while testing it. I can't recommend using official GSI version since it was broken and horrible experience. Even simple things like changing accent colour, theme was not working properly. I encountered some irritating bugs that just pissed me off which leaded me to instant ROM change. And I was not the only one. The biggest flaw was that I couldn't register my device to use google services properly. Even if I managed to get certification it was just gone after couple of minutes. Not saying about SafetyNet because passing it wasn't even possible.
I don't know how's the current state but I recommend to use Fullbustah's P2 version if you want have most stable RR experience.
I should have screenshots of what I experienced with that GSI somewhere, I will try to find them tommorow.
