Hi boiz! Still have the a7k? Tired with custom roms already?
Want to switch to something bugless and stable?
Want to switch to stock ROM itself?
Don't like spft flashing?

Congratulations then, you've come to the right thread!

Here is a build of stock ROM which can be flashed directly from any custom recovery without the need for spft.

Note : This build is based off devagya awasthi's stock-debloated build and much of the credit goes to him for the original build.

Now, let's start off :

Edit : Following info is wrt build 2.

What's in the zip?
---> The zip contains the stock S228 (Android M) that a7k got as ota. Also, since this build is debloated, only Pico Gapps are present (surprise?)

Is it pure stock?
---> The original build by devagya had some bugs here and there. I fixed those and placed proper apps in place.
---> So you can say, it ain't pure stock, but it is 99.9% stock (everything except Gapps)

Are the lags of vibe ui fixed?
---> The rom is basically the same as released by Lenovo (almost) so the functionality is same as pure stock. I can't do anything about it.

Is it stable ? Bugs?
---> This is stock dude! And moreover, released by me! How could you even think of that!

The Gapps are outdated!?
---> Nooo. I included latest Gapps on releasing build 2... Gapps Pico arm64 6.0 29June release.

I hate stock ROM and all vibe ROMs. Why are they still coming up?
---> I don't make ROMs with YOU in mind. I think of the greater part of the community and tbh many out there are finding and/or using stock/vibe ROMs. If you hate it, get out of this thread. Now.

Installation instructions :
1) Wipe system, cache, dalvik.
2) Wipe data and check whether it is truly wiped or not. Check it by seeing the size of data in the backup option of twrp.
3) Flash this ROM zip.
4) Optional : Flash Gapps arm64 android 6.0.x now. Not necessary since Pico Gapps are already present.
5) Wait for the flash to complete.
6) Wait dude. You'll get to the next step. Let the flash complete xD.
7) What's the hurry?
8) Want coffee?
9) When flash is finished, reboot to system. (Or simply reboot -_-).


Images :

Go to google.com and search "Lenovo A7000-a" and go over to the images section. See all you want to.

Code:
Information :

1) I don't know why... But in any stock build, flash doesn't work if you toggle it using wide touch. However, flash works completely fine from the quick settings and/or and other app.
Changelog :

Build 2 :

Code:
1) Added phonograph as music player.
2) Added Firefox focus as browser (this ROM was really missing a browser and music player)

3) Updated Gapps to latest Pico Gapps (Gapps date : 29 June 2017)

4) Removed pre-included chrome and play music which somehow were useless because the ROM removed them on flashing Gapps.

5) Size of build is pretty much the same.(769mb)
(This is because of the removal of chrome and play music balances adding focus, phonograph and new Gapps)

6) Renewed boot image (supports magisk and SuperSU. Also, other kernel zips can be flashed)

7) Stock kernel included (it won't drain battery like it did in build 1 idk why)
Build 1 :

Initial release

Some good screenshots :

Note that the home screen is customised and the default home screen on first boot will be quite different.
