List of Best Custom ROM for Lenovo Vibe P1m [Updated]

Looking to install a custom ROM on your Lenovo Vibe P1m? This page lists the best custom ROMs available for the phone. Since the Vibe P1m shipped on Android 5.1 Lollipop and never got a major update beyond it, a custom ROM is the way to run a newer version of Android on it.

The Lenovo Vibe P1m launched in September 2015 with a 5.0-inch HD (720 x 1280) IPS display, a quad-core MediaTek MT6735P processor, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of expandable storage, and a large 4,000mAh battery.

What is a custom ROM?

Android is open source, so developers can take the source code and build their own version of the OS. That community build is a custom ROM. It replaces the stock software that came with the phone, usually stripping out carrier and OEM apps for a cleaner experience, and it is often updated with newer Android versions long after the manufacturer stops. See the difference between a stock ROM and a custom ROM for more.
