Owners of the Lenovo Vibe P1/P1 Turbo can now acquire and run Android 7.1 through Carbon ROM. If you have been running a Stock Rom so far it may worth taking a look at this, one of the most popular ROMS available. This build is based off pure AOSP, and works surprisingly well.
Carbon ROM is a well-crafted ROM based on Android Open Source Project and works like a charm on Lenovo Vibe P1 devices. The developers are amazing at providing new updates to the ROM with the latest features and options. If you are a fan of clean and almost stock experiences, this ROM is for you. We are sure there will be an update to this soon but as of now the ROM works flawlessly apart from this issue.
