Lenovo Vibe P1

I did that already. But some icons remain unchanged. I believe it is a bug. And the way the icons are displayed is weird.

Hope you are using stock launcher... I don't see Search Apps/Frequently used apps when i go to All Apps..

Yes the Icons would be little weird, but much better than Vibe !!

For the first time kingroot went upto 53% and then failed... Hoping to see a working root method soon...

Google now launcher. At first I didn't like google now, but i somehow changed my opinion of it. Anyway, i guess that is the best i can get without rooting the phone. I saw that Lenovo Launcher exists, but i don't use it. Awaiting for root now. So i can uninstall all the things that i hate about the UI.

Be aware that when rip off default launcher you may ran into problems in future. When you reset phone to defaults, system will try to launch default launcher. As there will be no launcher ( all installed apks will be gone including your preferred installed launcher) , you will be in deep sh.. t.
I know. I did so once

Better install Nova Launcher and one of hundreds available icon packs.

Thanks for the advice! I did intend to completely remove the Lenovo launcher, but now i just want to fully replace it without removing it from the system. I like my android to be as close as vanilla as possible. So ... Maybe when we get unlocked bootloader and TWRP / CWM i will try to replace as much as i can from the vanilla version.

You do not need unlocked bootloader to do that. Root is enough to rip off system files and place other in their place.
Using ROM Toolbox you may easily remove system apps and make your apps as system apps permanently.

You do not need unlocked bootloader to do that. Root is enough.

Yes, but if i ruin everything i prefer to have a nandroid ready. It only takes ~10 minutes to get it back with all my apps & preferences.

Because it's too heavy, try to use FBLite.

I see that you have rooted your P1! I have the same build (P1a42_S152_160126_ROW) and the p1c72 hardware...I have just used the latest kingroot but nothing! How did you do? I want Xposed too!

Manual + rooted ROM then SuperSUMe Pro to switch Kingroot => SuperSU (man) and XPosed!

Thanks!! I can update this rom with ota updates after then? Or by flashing without wipe data?

Flashing with no wipe needed, but OTA will not be avalible.

It's possibile to flash the ota updates? If they are avalaible in the net...

No any OTA updates if you have root or any other system changes!

 

[MKh979]

Does exist one Rom with Italian language or not with ota? If yes where I can find it?
