Lenovo introduced A6000 in Jan 2015 & A6000 Plus in April 2015. Lenovo A6000 received great response from all the users. It was also termed as one of the best low budget Android Smartphone. However, things have changed now, many new devices have arrived with much better specs & less cost. Lenovo slowly started losing hold from A6000 updates.
Things got worse after Lenovo A6000 Lollipop 5.0.2 update. Some of the common issues after update were battery drain, less free RAM, lag while multi tasking & the ugly VibeUI update. But thanks to all the hardwork of developers, we are getting the chance of using Android Nougat 7.1.2 in Lenovo A6000/Plus through Resurrection Remix ROM based on Cyanogenmod 14.

An honest review about CM 13 from me.
I have been using this unofficial CM 13 from last 15 days, and I must say everything is working decent apart from the things given below:
1. It automatically restarts sometimes and when it does, it never scans a wi-fi and I have to manually restart to make it working.
2. Facebook app does not work, it crashes.
3. Don’t know about other games, but Need for Speed also crashes.
4. As soon as I try to edit and image using built-in Photo -editor, Gallery crashes.
5. call sensor near speaker does not work, even if my phone is on my ears the screen keeps on and I accidentally press something while on call.
6. Disconnecting a call needs a screen wake up using the lock button, only then the call windows open so hang up.
Pros:
1. Doze feature is simply superb, and over all battery life is great. I can easily have it for 24 hours with Wi-Fi and Clash of clans.
2. User interface is amazing.
3. Different theme option.
4. Multi-tasking between apps and overall perforce is remarkable.
5. App permissions are working perfectly, now i can easily decide what an app can access on my phone.
Did I miss something? Do comment.
Thanks for adding value to the comment section! That’s the perfect details about the ROM. Cheers!
here is any bug in this rom?
There are few Sim & battery bugs which are yet to be fixed. It is not yet meant for daily usage. However, you can try it to taste 6.0 in Lenovo A6000.
That is good.
Hi, are all the issues fixed? or does it still have a few bugs?
Thanks!
it is stable or not?
The ROM is simply awesome. With some glitches but that doesnt matters.
But can you add USB OTG support? If yes then how.
