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:
Hi
I would love to start developing Rom for Albus. Does anyone want to work with me to try to develop the Pixel Experience?
Sounds great,but what a shame that I don't have much time

If you need someone to test, you can talk to me. Telegram: +55 86 999416164.
maybe @dlproject and @Junior Passos and @davidsonsjesus and @rahulsnair are up for the task? What do you guys say?
pixel experience is awesome! i would love to have it and I'm pretty sure the community would to. Oreo or Pie it would be amazing. maybe it would be wise to wait for the release of kernels and such from Pie 9.0 for ALBUS since the current kernel is limited to android 8.0 but that would be you guyses call, if the current set of tools allows Pixel Experience to be experienced than bring it on! pretty please!!!!!
You can have the pixel experience rom using project treble.
But the vendor is outdated it. And the only man who is create rom on project treble is the developer from lineage 15.1.
In order to use the leatest version of any rom for excample AEX, Pixel Experience and other rooms the kernel must be update to the leatest security fix.
I was succsesufull flash AEX Oreo but can't update because to the older version of the security path.

could you please elaborate more specifically? I understand that project treble separates the firmware files in two categories, the essential (aka hardware) and the substantial (aka software), so we would get the essential of ALBUS and combine with the substantial of PIXEL 2, is that what you are suggesting? But for the "fusion" to work both firmwares must be on the same security patch.. is that what you mean or did I understand it incorrectly?

Yes. We have only one treble relase for the LOS 15.1 and the security patch is only to octombre. If you use version in augost you will have a bootloop.
I ask the dev in LOS 15.1 to update the treble version so we can use the vendor but he don't response.
I heard that project treble is way harder to work with then anybody anticipated and that it is currently a nightmare to be avoided. I say it's worth trying though since it's opportunity. What's the name of the dev? Ping him here in this topic

Yes I did and there is no resurrection remix for this phone or viper rom. Plus if there is a ROM out most likely the developer will not relic it.
Most of the Roms for those phones are all final stage Nougat ROMs. There is no Res Remix Oreo yet for any phone. "RR v5.8.5 is the final Nougat build. This is the last update for Android 7.1.2 Nougat and after this you will only receive 8.X Oreo builds. Custom ROM maintainers like Lineage and Paranoid, have already declared final Nougat updates."

I for one would daily drive RR Nougat if someone ported it to OP5T. All the Oreo ROMs have the Bluetooth bug (connections unreliable), and a charging bug when trying to use Android Auto. Until we have official Oreo, those bugs won't be worked out. I hate all stock ROMs.

You are right on that one but for some odd region RR developers from the op5 have quit on there projects so they will probably not being it to the op5t. Said but true. Wish I new how to make a ROM and would make one that's new and exciting with everything RR has to offer plus new things. I also would like to find out a way to mod the op5t to support the 600mhz band that T-Mobile has for there LTE now. My op5t does not work in some places because its not activated on the chip for 600mhz but it does support it.
RR Oreo is coming soon and will most definitely be available for the 5T.
Guys also keep in mind a lot less people updated to the 5t from the others. Most were not falling for that again.
Plus 8.x is a big change so lots of work going into it. Then the whole rebase needed from 8.0 to 8.1.
Check out the Google+ community, Varun just posted a screen of RR Oreo on the 5T. ?

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.

There has been an attempt to build grapheneos for an OnePlus device but i remember the project got stopped as they could not really build it and there are people who have successfully build calyxos for poco devices for example poco X3 pro

I wish I could be possible because few people did try to port/build grapheneos but they failed to do it.
Btw there's also an option rather than building calyxos or grapheneos, i heard sebaubuntu(dev) is going to release lineageos soon so if he releases the vanilla build which he probably would of he's going to release it officially, we could install microg, f-droid, aurora store, signal, we do have to root out devices for it though

I'm not familiar with CalyxOS, but for those who want the AOSP experience sans Google, you can run an AOSP GSI. The packages with "GMS" in the title have Gapps; they do have some Vanilla flavors available as well.

Basically calyxos is an rom which is based on security the rom is fully de-googled so that Google can't spy on you and many more useful security features which you won't get in other roms you could search it on Google/YouTube and know what it is in depth

It seems like you could get this from a bare vanilla AOSP build, such as the Android Continuous Integration builds. These are pure AOSP - no Google anything added.
I mean yeah I do am using a vanilla build of lineageos and I have the same features as calyx.
Btw I did have tried the pure Android too that also was great but cause of no customisation i deleted it.
Btw thanks for showing interest
