[sanjay.2704]

Hi Team,
I am using p1a42_s288 Android 6.0.1
However I want to flash stock android marshmallow on this.. Like motorola is offering..

Is it possible?? And if yes then which rom to flash.

And will all modules work like nfc, wifi and Bluetooth??

Would really appreciate the answer..

There is not such thing as pure Marshmallow available for P1. The stock Lenovo ROM is not so cluttered as i.e. Samsung ROMs. You may root it and delete or freeze unwanted apps so you wille have almost pure Narshmallow

Hi pabgar,

Thanks for reply.. I was referring to the rom Motorola offers in their phones.. It not only half the size of what vibe p1 has but is also volte enabled..

This would free up some GBs.. Although don't really need as got 32 internal+32 external.. ++ have also disabled unneeded Google Apps like movies and music etc..

I do agree that lenovo rom is not as bloated as Samsung toch viz.. Also if put motorola rom i should also expect nougat update when motorola releases them if lenovo decides to skip on nougat update for lenovo..

Would like to hear your views on this..

Well: what you think about is porting I mean taking a ROM from one smartphone and modify it this way so it will fit to different phone. It is not a straightforward job and requires skilled developer. As far as I know nobody did this and I think nobody will do as Vibe P1 is not so popular phone.

You cannot just take Motorola ROM and flash to Lenovo P1. There are hardware differences so you will shurely brick P1

Thanks for the reply again pabgar..

I too had same thing in mind about hardware differences.. And u just confirmed it..

So definitely will not try the stunt.. Can't afford another phone.. Hehehe..

Guess will have to wait for lenovo to release a nougat update hopefully..

Btw, when u say hardware differences, do mean by motherboard and the chip / processor or everything from screen to button as moto x play and vibe p1 both have same chip set, gpu, and processor.. But not a physical home button in moto as there is in vibe p1.. As per GSM arena.. Although sim and network capability differ widely.. I understand this will definitely affect usability..

Just asking as not much of developer..

I mean everything. There may be very slight differences in example: same chipset but different modem chip, diferent magnetic sensor, and button or display so the ROM will brick P1

Pity but I do not think it is going to happen. They do not want us to use our good phones for our lifetime. They want us to buy new from them i.e. Lenovo P2. This is money.

Thanks again..

What u r saying is so true.. We are sheep who just need to be shaved for money every few months..
Like iSheep we have become aSheep.. iSheep atleast updates but aSheep have to buy new phones..

Lenovo atleast gave marshmallow for vibe.. Thats a relief..

Indeed. I still have my Galaxy Note 3. It is still a pretty powerfull smartphone capable to run Marshmallow or supposedly Nougat but Samsung ended on first, buggy Lollipop 5.0. All those cyanogenmod derivatives for N3 are "almost" perfect. Almost means everyday pain in the a..s, FCs or reboots.
So Note 3 is still with me working as high end multimedia remote controller ( as is infrared port equipped )

And that is the good news. After so many phones in my hands ( some are not listed below) i must say that P1 is the best smartphone I ever had. It is not most powerfull, not the best display or camera but it is rock solid . During almost a year with it I had NEVER any: problems, FCs, spontaneous reboots . The battery works for me from 2 to 4 days of my moderate usage. The only drawback I found is the emulated gyroscope sensor thus: I cannot fly my Parrot quadrocopter or make photosphere photos but the hell: I still have my Note 3 for that
I intended to buy P2 but I consider: if I really need to.

You will never guess what phone I just digged out from the closet and use as my business phone SonyEricsson W995

Just use custom ROM like cm or Rr because they are same pure stock
