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.

v5.7.0 already available with better camera and stablity but low in-call volume hasn’t been fixed: (

But it say update google play service
Good app can’t install
Patch, source
Need to download or not
No. Only Patch.
Flashed the ROM yesterday and have found the following bugs (some are a little too annoying):
1. Flashlight in QS is not stable, every boot has causes it to appear or disapper.
2. Flashlight option in power menu causes to reboot.
3. Default wallpapers are sometimes cropped or may reboot may cause it to be zoomed in (a little hard to explain this :P)
4. Cannot select a default SIM for calling or SMS, it chooses my second SIM every time. (VERY ANNOYING)
5. The device model shows Lenovo K3 – T.
Suggestions:
1. Please remove the alphabet layer in the app drawer (it completely kills the looks)
2. Cannot find a way to access the QS when the phone is locked.
3. Please dont ask for a password when I access the dialer from the lockscreen.
4. Can I have a way of changing icons for a specific app?
Overall performance:
1. Battery decent enough.
2. Heavy apps open quite quickly.
3. Dont really like the camera app.
4. Not a big fan of Omniswitch.
5. Multitasking is decent. Multi-window is OK at best.
The ROM is a refreshing change. And, yes the bugs need a fix. Help DEVS!!
Correction:
The SIM problem has been rectified with a few reboots.
Also, can the wallpaper be non-scrolling?
Use Google Photos while setting wallpaper
Ohk! There’s definitely a SIM problem if you are using two sims!
I change the settings, no effect… Then I reboot and the changes happen! Then somewhere down the line, somehow it uses my second sim to call!! Need a fix. HELP!!
I have found small bugs.
1.I have added the option of flashlight in the long press power menu. But as soon as i try to switch on the flashlight from the power menu it reboots. One soecial thing i will like to mention is that it happens only after alternative boot.
2.Also i have added the option of flashlight in the quick settings but the flashlight icon dissapears after every alternate boot.
3. And while the flashlight is turned on the screen blinks blue for a very small period of time. It continues to happen till flashlight is turned off.(My screen is 100% fine, so there is a issue in the ROM)
Hello Team,
The ROM is Good !! But Need Some Help in the Below Points :
1.I am not able to Install GAPP package since the Phone is Not Opening in Boot Loader.
2. I am Unable to Connect the Phone to Laptop With the ADB tool it is showing as Null.
3. If I want to change the ROM or Restore the Original back how can I do it ?
Thanking You.
1. Install Gapps from TWRP recovery.
2. It might be because of improper installation of ROM.
3. Take a backup of previous ROM before installing the ROM from TWRP recovery. If you don’t like the installed ROM, just switch back!
