[Lenovo A6000/Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] u5man4:
I use CM13 by ED300 + Phantom Reborn R5 new year linaro kernel, to my experience and best of knowledge it works like a beast, better than the normal Phantom and is more updated but now the support for it has been shifted to simple Phantom for LP/MM based Rom's however u can experience Phantom Reborn R5 which i highly recommend trying out - what i love is the re-written touch driver which is waay better than the stock lenovo driver which use to lag when u touched the screen and (OC 1.8MHz CPU/720MHz GPU) with wake up control gestures with no hiccups or sound issue which was fixed in R2 - if you want try it out here's the way - i guarantee you'll be happier with your phones updated state:-

My OC Phantom Reborn Kernel Config in Kernel Auditor:

CPU: (elementalx - sometimes hinges the set frequency values so then i shift to zzmove governor) Min: 800MHz Max: 1785MHz

CPU Hotplug: I use MSM (make sure to disable all other hotplugs to avoid bootloop), 1 cpu online when screen off, 3 processors boosted together and use ur intuition to set the intervals of the rest of the settings

GPU: Andrelno-idler with GPU Min: 200MHz Max: 720MHz

Battery: Enable quick charge!

Gestures: The first option is half and the others are off, i can double tap on screen to unlock and double tap on status bar to lock screen, i dont use S2Wake, S2Sleep

I/O Scheduler: use Fiops for both, read ahead internal value should be 1024-1433 and external 2024

Memory Management: Enabled low memory killer on its default setting didn't touch that and added 512MB zRAM, how this is used is dependent on your swappiness set value.

Thermal: u would want to disable the option which says VDD and enable SoC and there must be one more toggle i cant remember what it was named but i enabled it

Don't remember rest of the tweaks i dont have my phone on me right now ill edit this post and update it but i choose some options to take load on the cpu to decrease load on memory and fixed the vibration strength (install G-Board over the AOSP keyboard is a sacrifice of vibration haptic feedback

(These settings are aggressive in the terms of performance so tweak at your comfort.

I prefer Phantom Reborn R5 new year linaro, refer to my previous post if your interested in giving it out a spin because when i was on RR (All versions ported or source build) paired with that made my phone insanely quick and the touch was more responsive thanks to Harsh!t as he re-wrote the touch driver 100x times better than the stock lenovo touch driver where ur phone would lag when u would touch the screen
