Looking to install a custom ROM on your Lenovo K4 Note? This page lists the best custom ROMs available for the phone. Since Lenovo ended official updates at Android 6.0 Marshmallow, a custom ROM is the way to run a newer version of Android on it.

The Lenovo K4 Note (Vibe K4 Note, A7010a48) launched in January 2016 on Android 5.1 Lollipop, with an octa-core MediaTek MT6753, a 5.5-inch Full HD display, and 3GB of RAM.

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.
