The Lenovo A7000 may or may not get the Android 7.1.1 Nougat update officially, but if you look into the unofficial ways, you can even get Pixel experience on your Lenovo A7000 along with Android 7.12 Nougat right this instance.
For the unknown, Google’s Pixel phones come with a few features that are exclusive to the device and are not available for the rest of Android devices including the Android Open source Project using which various AOSP based Android 7.0 ROMs are made of.
However, developer HDHR has just released a custom ROM for Lenovo A7000 that has Google Pixel features like Google Assistant, Pixel launcher, Blue theme and others built-in.
HDHR is calling the ROM Pixel UI and it’s based on AOSP. Alongside Pixel features, Pixel UI ROM also features Gapps built-in so you don’t have to find & flash a compatible Gapps package separately via recovery.
The ROM, however, has certain issues that are yet to be fixed but it’s very much functional and can be used as a daily driver. Below are the known/bugs issues with the ROM (as of Nov 24, 2016).
- Offline charging screen messed up
- Some sensor doesn’t works
