I encrypted manually and FP works now. It is odd that encryption fails on an F2FS install and is not enabled by default with ext4 though, I think this is causing the issue for me and others users mentioned FP unlock in here.

Video recording is still bugged by the way. I use Footej camera as a work around but the exposure is very poor so low quality with higher iso.

I read that there are issues while installing this rom concerning encryption! What should I do exactly to flash this rom?

Now I am on DotOS rom, what shall I do to flash this rom to avoid any errors during installation?

What are the suitable Gapps for this rom ?
[Lenovo P2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] ASP02:
Change data partition to ext4 and then flash ROM and gapps

Take backup as internal memory will be wiped

Gapps are posted above ...scroll abit

Tried it and using for last 3 days it's the fastest ROM that I have used

-)liked the inbuilt black theme

-) battery life seems to be less than other roms and charging time also taking 20-30min extra than stock

-)GPS is also working perfectly no issues

Just one request, please add DT2W on lockscreen on you next update

Or should I flash magma kernel for that feature

I agree entirely with You although I want to respect each one.

Nevertheless, have a look inside the profile of the incriminated person and You will clearly understand.

To stay positive, I explain here my personal opinion about custom roms and especially this one.

In order to have everything working fine we simply have to use the last stock rom provided by the constructor (S244 or S251).

But, as there is a but, Oreo 8 was published in August 2017 and it seems that the Lenovo P2 would not be officially upgraded to Oreo 8 or possibly very late in 2018.

I always want to have the latest version of Android because it comes with corrections of many bugs and also new features.

The main goal is to make the latest version of Android available for devices which are not more updated or supported by the constructor.

After that a custom rom will suppress a lot of bloatwares and bring up customization : features which need to be modified in order to work on your device and/or features which do not natively exist.

Fortunately for all of us, there are developers like FireLord, Subham and others who spend much of their time adapting Oreo 8 (without forgetting the continuity of Nougat 7) to make it working on this awesome P2. That cann’t take less time that the time it would take from the constructor.

I chooze this rom for my P2 because it was the first I found which was based on Oreo 8.

I installed it and it is working fine with the last build, knowing, for example, that Volte is not working because my provider doesn’t still allow 4G (Belgium), knowing that I don’t use FP gestures and some other features like NFC, …

I’m now using this rom as a daily driver and if one day I want to have FP gestures, I just will wait the implementation of this feature by the developer.

Since two weeks other roms based on Oreo 8 are available for the P2.

Choozing one is always a matter of personal taste.

Based on my experience I can say that none of them is better or less good than the others : it only depends on what you are personally expecting of a rom.

About Gapps for Oreo 8.1, I flashed the Unofficial Gapps by wloot.

I didn’t download the "wicked Gapps" because I don’t understand why having forssen these Gapps as the size is nearly the same.

Kind regards

Hi, I have a doubt

I am currently using this rom. This rom is very smooth and everything is fine. But why am I not able to use my banking apps in this rom , it shows error like your device is rooted Even though i have not rooted my device. Previously I was on lineage os by fireloard, I was able to use every banking apps ( not rooted). Both of the roms are not prerooted either

This is just a doubt, please explain if you can :)

Thank you :D

Hello! I encoutered a bug(?) while I couldn't connect to wifi which I had no problem with on android 7.x or 8.0.0. It kept saying "wifi not in range". I tried to connect to hotspot of my backup phone and everything worked fine. So I guess it is just problem with wifi configuration. Anyway the rom looks good :)

Just flashed this ROM and so far I am very happy with it and loving the speed of it! Just a point to note for everyone in case its unclear - I would recommend the ext4 reformat to ensure no encryption issues. Also, make sure not to encrypt the device when setting up the finger print scanner just to be safe.

But I do have a question, is there an option or an extension I can use to swap the back button round to the right hand side? You get this option in the stock ROM and I am now missing it!

Thanks for everyone's hard work, this looks like a great ROM!

This ROM is eating up my battery life. I got 5 days with Firelords 14.1 ROM, I'm barely getting one day with this one.

You can change the navigation buttons by going to:

Settings/Extensions/Navigation tab/Navigation bar/Smartbar settings/Start edit mode

Then you can drag and drop the buttons.

Cheers, Si.
[Lenovo P2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] blofse:
Thanks, that works a treat. First day of use for me 14% use in 7 hours, 2 day total usage. About 50% less than on stock ROM - not good!
[Lenovo P2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] simes303:
I'm down from 100% to 85% in just over two hours. Think I'll be going back to my backup of Firelord's 14.1, which is a real shame as there are a few features on this one that I really like.

Cheers, Si.
[Lenovo P2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] blofse:
Well it depends on usage. I'm trying not to use my phone more under the new ROM just to make it fair but even so, it's now on 70% after 24 hours. So it's not far off the stock ROM! Btw, make sure you turn off background apps in the settings>extensions>system>app Options.

This is just like I did in the stock ROM except I feel this ROMs interface to that part is a bit clunky. It would be nice for an all tab option!

Hey this rom is awesome, performance and battery are great.. no noticable bugs except only one..

It seems bluetooth headset in-call audio is not working at all.

Music is working, notifications are working.. only in-call audio isn't working..

I have a Level U pro headset from samsung.. used to work well on stock nougat rom and other phones..

Also I tried a remax bluetooth headset that used to work on aex 4.5 and still in-call audio doesn't work.

I did a factory reset.. tried both aosp and google phone app from open gapps.. but still won't work.. also I tried messing with options for bluetooth audio under developer options... Seems no options want to change.. I set stuff and go back and bluetooth settings reset...

When on call.. I set the output to bluetooth but the audio keeps coming from handset speaker.. after 3 seconds the output icon changes back to handset..
[Lenovo P2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] gamefreaksuraj:

Can We Flash This on An Unencrypted Device and encrypt it after flashing this ROM .. Will The FP start working?
[Lenovo P2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Amithaj133:

Final results for battery - 100% drain after 3 days. Stock ROM was 4 days with wroughly the same usage. Bear in mind this was the first full charge on the ROM so it may improve after a few charges. Let's see how we go!
[Lenovo P2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] cool_nin:
If u r getting more than 2 days battery b happy.

I think you misread my intent, I was saying this ROM is very close to stock ROM in terms of battery and that's a great thing. I was discounting other comments on this thread that are saying the battery life is bad when it simply isn't. So, it's great!

Finger print scanner also runs very quick and much better than stock - it seems to recognise my 98% rather than stocks 70%, which is great.

So final review of battery life, seems now I am getting two-three days worh which is a bit cack. I noticed in the settings all the apps by default have wakelock and everything enabled which is a but of a chore to turn off but nessesary for good battery - my recommendation would be to default all app permissions to false rather than true so that by default apps save battery. Think I'll try another ROM because I loved my old battery life and is one of the main selling points of the phone. I'll try again in a couple of updates time :)

[Lenovo P2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] adhammagdy:
I believe I have found the cause for the issue I've reported earlier about how some bluetooth headsets and car players don't have in-call audio and a possible workaround..

The issue is as follows:

Bluetooth headsets that have a magnetic sensor like samsung level and apple airpods or have a "disable" button.. and some car audio players that allow switching between car and phone on the fly.. will have no in-call audio, while media and notification audio still work correctly..

The cause:

Seems to be the new bluetooth stack introduced in Android oreo..

It removed the ability for the OS to manage bluetooth media controls and misc. control buttons on it's own, and instead give the functionality to individual apps.. while this is good as it gives the user more control, it seems this has brought more problems than it solved, and a lot of people around the internet are complaining that their devices don't work well on oreo..

Now it goes as follows.. when a button on a bluetooth device is pressed, the OS takes this input and gives it to the app that is currently playing audio, or the last app that has played audio if nothing is playing currently..

Now this requires the music player to support some API functions for doing this.. seems several music players like "Poweramp" don't yet support it.. so the OS will simply ignore the button clicks completely rather than do a default action like in nougat and older..

Now there are some headsets that have a toggle button or a magnetic sensor that stops music when the earbuds are put together... If your music player is compatible with oreo, it will manage to act with no problem..

Now it seems that neither the AOSP phone app nor Google dialer still support this change or has a buggy implementation.. that's why when you start a call even with your headset enabled and the earbuds are apart... It will "think" that they are closed and will route the call audio through handset speaker

In nougat, the system will recognise the "toggle" on it's own and tell all the phone apps of any change even if they're closed..

Possible workaround:

For those folks who have a samsung level u headset like me.. do the following:

1- Turn off your headset and bluetooth on the phone

2- Take the earbuds apart while the headset is off

3- Turn on the headset and bluetooth

4- Connect and test and repeat 1,2,3,4 until it works

5- Add "Bluetooth" app to exceptions from battery optimisation since the behaviour resets after doze
