[Lenovo P2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] P2a42-mad:
Hi guys... I have been following this thread for a few months but just joined in...I'm in my 60's but keen on learning something new everyday, so to you smarties, an amateur :)

Many thanks to you developers (and contributors) for the amazing work that you do. In a few days, I intend updating the 6.0.1 Stock ROM on my P2 to this Pixel-Extended 11 ( I like Pixel user experience). From the conversation above it appears this ROM is stable enough and can be flashed easily by just following the usual process: TWRP -> Magisk -> Custom ROM. Are there any hiccups in the process of flashing this ROM that I should be aware of, to avoid breaking my phone.
[Lenovo P2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] 3volution3:
It's actually TWRP -> Custom ROM -> Magisk (optional), but unless you need root access to the system you don't really need Magisk. Don't forget you need to unlock the bootloader first.

A couple of remarks since this seems to be your first time. You can expect the battery charge to last less time and wifi display cast is not working. Everything else should run smoothly.

Happy flashing!
[Lenovo P2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] P2a42-mad:
Thanks for the tip 3volution3... much appreciated!

Thanks also for the point about the battery, as this is an important one. The whole reason for my getting the P2 in the first place is its great battery life. But if this is an issue with the PixelExtended11 for the moment, then perhaps I should look for an alternative. Any recommendations?
[Lenovo P2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] 3volution3:
It's not an issue particular to pixel extended 11. All android 10 and 11 ROMs decrease your P2 battery life a little. Still very good, but not as great as you're used to. ROMs up to android 9 have good battery life.
[Lenovo P2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] P2a42-mad:
Thanks for this bit of education. Presumably, the developers are hard at work on this.

The other point you mentioned was about Wi-Fi display cast. Could you please elaborate on this in a sentence or so, so I get the drift. Thanks.
[Lenovo P2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] 3volution3:
It's to duplicate your phone's screen on your TV wirelessly. It's not working in android 11 ROMs, but if you don't use this feature don't worry about it.
[Lenovo P2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] LEIBE:
Hello I have been reading your post and answers from other users, before you start loading CUSTOM ROMS you got to get your BOOTLOADER unlocked thats something you apply at the LENOVO page by itself IT IS A MUST, after that you got to ROOT the phone via TWRP and MAGISK thats the IDEAL way to do so. There are many POSTS showing you the way step by step it should be done, I would highly recommend you to BACKUP the important DATA and get an IDEA on how to UNLOOP the phone because if it is your first time you might get a loop, and of course to chose a ROM which have been tested as THIS EXCELLENT [ROM][PIXEL_EXTENDED][11][KUNTAO][UNOFFICIAL][GAPPS] Everything works fluently and GOOD. I hope you have a pleasant JOURNEY and welcome to the CLUB.​

[Lenovo P2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] P2a42-mad:
Many thanks for your clarity on this. I'm not too flustered without this feature. So, perhaps I'll give it a try and report accordingly. Thanks again for your help :)
[Lenovo P2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] P2a42-mad:
Hi Leibe,

Thank you for the welcome and for the tips your provided. I'll flash my darling phone in two weeks once the 14 day timer unlocks my bootloader. I'll report accordingly on my experience.

It's great to have people like you (and others) that contribute generously to this channel. Much appreciated :)
[Lenovo P2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] LEIBE:
I don't have a SMARTV but I use CHROME CAST AND I also have an APPLE TV box, they both link perfectly with the PHONE I can cast just everything, For a support PROGRAM you can USE TUBIO it links w/ APPLE and Chromecast as well.

[Lenovo P2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] P2a42-mad:
Hi 3volution3 (or anyone else who has experienced a similar issue with battery life),

There is an app out there called "Naptime" that claims to improve battery life. One needs to have their phone rooted to use this app. Have you tried this or any other similar app to compensate for the drop in battery charge?
[Lenovo P2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] 3volution3:
Generally, I don't recommend using any "battery saver" app. It's been proven time and again that many of them are just gimmicks. The ones that do work, they do so by slowing down your phone or force your phone to sleep causing many apps to have delayed notification or even miss the notifications. Sometimes, apps you have in the background to do some task you want just stop. All of that for tiny battery savings that don't really have any meaningful impact. I took a quick look at Naptime description and it seems to have a more aggressive doze that makes your phone go to sleep faster, which depending on how you use your phone, it can be quite annoying to have wifi and certain functions to reconnect all the time because you just let the phone idle a sec too long by accident. If that's all Naptime does, it will barely give you any savings. Nowadays android is quite well optimized to go to sleep when it needs. I just don't think it's worth the trouble. Of course there will be always someone who swears by those apps... Then again, this is just my understanding of things.
[Lenovo P2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] P2a42-mad:
Thanks for the cast-app suggestion. Will give it a try once I have PixelExperience11 Extended up and running.
[Lenovo P2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] P2a42-mad:
Good point and well explained.
[Lenovo P2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] P2a42-mad:
Approximately how long does the Pixel11-Extended (Feb. build) take to install from ADB sideload. My attempt seems to be stuck at 47% for a long while (over 30 mins.) @ 'Patching vendor image unconditionally...'. Unsure why.
[Lenovo P2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] 3volution3:
Did you wipe system, data, cache and dalvik?
[Lenovo P2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] bgxx:
There is a note in the installation page of the LineageOS as;

"TIP: If the process succeeds the output will stop at 47% and report adb: failed to read command: Success."

(Link: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/kuntao/install )

Your problem may be related to this..
[Lenovo P2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] P2a42-mad:
I figured out the solution. I had to downgrade TWRP to 3.3.1-1.

Then did an "adb sideload" of the "Pixel11.zip" and it worked. Yipee!!!

I now have my phone back up and running.

However, I discovered that the Google Search box at the bottom cannot be removed. This is an absolute waste of space, as Chrome does the same job. I would love to have the navigation keys, especially the BACK, HOME and CLEAR ALL buttons to replace this useless search box..

But I am unable to install Magisk. I keep getting the ERROR 1 fault. Tried every trick available on Youtube, without success. So cannot root my phone.

I first wiped what you mentioned above. Then had a problem as the Password from the previous OS blocked the phone booting (sent it into an eternal boot loop). So, I had to reformat the disk, which got rid of the Internal Storage to clear this. I also had to change the file system for data to Ext4.

Hey, but I learnt something. I broke a phone and fixed it... Thanks to you guys for your help!
[Lenovo P2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] 3volution3:
reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/836boh/how_to_remove_the_google_assist_search_bar/

or

you can try another custom ROM

All the ROMs I've used had a way to change navigation. I'm pretty sure in this one you can get the navigation keys. It should be in settings->system->gestures or something like that. Depends on the ROM. Maybe you can just use the search box in settings to search for "gestures" or "navigation".

Do you really need to root the phone? What are you trying to do? Maybe there are other ways to achieve the same result without rooting your phone. If it's for youtube vanced or gcam or something like that you don't need to root the phone.
[Lenovo P2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] P2a42-mad:
Hi Developers... Thank you for releasing this version of Android 11 for the Lenovo P2. Great job!

If the battery-saver switch on the left of the phone can convert the phone into a "dumb phone" like the Stock ROM offered, that would be perfect.

Otherwise, an EXCELLENT job. Well Done 👏
[Lenovo P2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] P2a42-mad:
Does anyone know if the P2a42 have 5g band "n78" 3400MHz capability?
[Lenovo P2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] 3volution3:
P2 is too old for that. There wasn't 5G back when it was released

Thanks! I will try it.
[Lenovo P2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] ru_ace:
Thanks! First impression was very good, but i got problem with phone encryption(all cases was clean install without any addons)

1. first one - mostly installed all needed programs and added FP. i waited 2 hours - it stick at boot screen with animation. Phone was hot after 2 hours

2. at second i tried encrypt phone just after clean install without FP - same problem

What interesting - twrp says that phone encrypted, and successfully decrypt it with provided password.

- Pixel team removed dark bootanimation in 2.6 version

- I will report to pixel extended team for your other issue
[Lenovo P2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Sahil221B:
Which version of pixel is better in this thread ? Also its my first to install a custom rom . I am confused on which twrp to use , should i have to root or is it possible to install without root . How should i flash this rom , can anyone please give a short outline for the procedure ?
[Lenovo P2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] eljuggy:
First you need to unlock bootloader (search XDA Lenovo 02 threads for that)

Then flash TWRP

Then I'd advise to flash the last version of this ROM.

Personally I do an adb side load flash with a pc.

Just search for all these terms before getting started.

Be prepared to fail and have a non working phone for a few hours/days until you fix it.

(So use a spare phone)

It is definitely worth it.

Good luck.

Does this rom have 2 button navigation?
[Lenovo P2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] IshtaNoob:
For a moment I thought I had the ROM wrong xD

Settings > System > Gestures > System Navigation (loosely translated, as my settings are in a different language)

It allows 3 button, 2 button and gesture navigation. No inverted layout settings, though, and home button doesn't seem to work on any of the options :/

Hello everyone.

My post below is no longer relevant because my Lenovo P2 is permanently dead, after near 5 years of use.

I examined with a repairman : internal memory and modem are totally out of use.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hello Astridxx.

The frequency of the updates of the Gapps like Opengapps, Bitgapps and the others could make us think we are obliged to update them regularly. It seems to be not at all the case.

I found following advice on "android.stackexchange.com/questions" : "You are still advised to update GAPPS from time to time (in orders of months), due to Google introducing new functions, APIs, etc. in updated versions of their apps, but not doing this usually doesn't affect working aspects of your device".

Why do I write this post ?

I'have been using lineageos (16, 17,18) for two years now because it is my preferred custom rom, updating it regularly but not applying every weekly update, and I always had until now a preference for the roms without the Gapps integrated.

With each update, I also updated the Gapps of which I sometimes also did an intermediate update and this last point makes me understand it’s not strict necessary.

The only advantage of using a custom rom without the Gapps is that I can choose to use the minimal version of the Gapps.

But since near a year I’m encountering a problem using LineageOS 18.1 because 2 apps, ING Banking and myVOO, detect this rom as being rooted although it’s not at all the case :

ING Banking displays an alert message but can be installed and function perfectly ;

on the other hand myVOO categorically refuses to be installed.

I do neither need, nor want any more to have my phone rooted, what has been the case in the past.

I tried nearly all the existing custom roms android 11 for the Lenovo P2 (kuntao) and LineageOS is the only rom giving that problem.

I don't want to know if it is coming from the rom or from the 2 apps.

My only goal is to have the 2 apps working without rooting my phone.

Among those roms, I tried PixelExtended_kuntao-11.0 which has the Gapps integrated, apparently with more apps than the pico version of OpenGapps.

To sum up, I will reinstall PixelExtended_kuntao-11.0 and use it till I buy a new smartphone next year, normaly around the middle of the year.

Is there a downside to not having every monthly security patch like it’s the case with LineageOS ?

Thanks in advance.

​

Features

Click for feature list (helps shorten the OP.)

Always Have a full functional Backup. Just in case!

DOWNLOAD ROM

First time installing crDroid to your ENTER-PHONE-NAME, or coming from another ROM: <--THESE MAY NEED UPDATING FOR YOUR PARTICULAR DEVICE; BE THOROUGH IN INSTRUCTIONS-->

** Make sure you're running a proper working Recovery (CWM or TWRP)

1) Copy crDroid zip, gapps zip <--& vendor img, if applicable--> to your device

2) Boot into Recovery

3) Wipe cache, system, & data (or just cache & system for a dirty flash).

4) Flash ROM

8) Flash gapps

9) Boot up

For root, AFTER you boot into the ROM, you can go back to recovery and install Magisk XX.x (whatever is most recent).

Upgrading from earlier version of crDroid:

The only difference between clean flash as above and upgrading is you just wipe system & cache, leaving data. Everything else is the same. ***Remember to always clean flash before reporting problems. Clean flashing is always the best method of ROM install.

KNOWN ISSUES

THIS BETA

Don't expect any support if you:

- are not running the included kernel

- have installed any mods such as Xposed!

- have modified system files

Thanks to:

Hi! I'd like to try this ROM. I'm on Sjil's Lineage 15 now. I flashed this ROM but it gets stuck on the loading screen forever. I understand that Lineage kernels (like the one I suppose I flashed before the current ROM I'm using) would be compatible with this one, but maybe I'm wrong?

Hi, My Diamond seems to have memory leak issue.

I soft reset my device, the memory is 55% but after a activesyn the memory become 60%. If i open any program, the memory go up and will not release after the program is closed.

Any solutions?:confused:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] murklor:
Same solution as with any PC? Reboot.

My Diamond has been up to 70% memory, without any programs running.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] GSeeker:
This is why i think the RAM of Touch Diamond is not enough.

didn't run anything, but still got 65% or higher RAM usage. even with a Lite rom.

it sucks.:o
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Lord_BlackAdder:
Make sure the application is closed, rather than minimized. Minimize an application has the benefit of being able to re-start quicker the next time. Closing (quiting) the application has the benefit of releasing the memory, if not all.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Blazeitup123:
this is a WM6.1 issue not your diamond.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] telee:
Guys, are there any tools which can let us check which applications or processes are occupying memory?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Blazeitup123:
wktask and it free
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] telee:
I just have it installed but so far I cannot find what I want.

How can I get the list of processes running in the background, just like what we usually do with Ctrl+Alt+Del in Windows?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] ZaJules:
What programs do you have that wont run on 35% free ram?

even with 72% usage you still have over 30 megs free!

I have never had a problem running an app on my Diamond due to lack of ram.

How often are you seeing the "Not enough available ram" message?

Jules
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] tomchap:
Yeah I get the same sort of problem to,

Throughout the day, connecting my Diamond to my laptop at work, use activesync, update the weather, sending texts and also looking at pictures on my phone, and playing the occasional game, my memory will get to about 65% free.

Yes I can continue to use my phone, and its not a major problem but its a niggle that could do with being sorted.

When the memory usage gets to 70% I then Soft Reset the Device as this always speeds it up.

It is the best Windows Mobile phone ive owned, and I use the Soft Reset function alot less on my Diamond than I have before.

However it would be nice to own a Diamond without having to Soft Reset it so often. The memory leak issue needs to be fixed Microsoft!!!!!!! Take note!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] GSeeker:
When your diamond is with 70% or higher ram usage, try to play a song and then open the opera or IE, they will lag your music. You still think 30MB ram is that much?:o
