I just beat all 5-E, except that no translation, and finally fell back to Stoke. Lacks functionality in 5.1, that there is in 4.4.4. Not enough buns, the same network speed in the status bar, give a certain charm and network icons on the left side and more - small, but is generally lacking in Lollipop. With austerity in the design of the creators of 5.1 in the same beat, for me, so he grew into wretchedness. Again - this is just my opinion.

A small comment on my own:
* All the smart functions (blocking flick, double awakening tapom, the inclusion of the volume buttons, answer a call to ear, scripts) are absent;
* Removed all the preinstalled games that were in the official firmware to Android 4.4;
* Interface with AOSP (no launcher or graphical OS changes from Lenovo is not here);
* Bluetooth in conjunction with Xiaomi MiBand works definitely better during use MIFit bracelet had never dropped out, four on a couple of dumps would be;
* Automatic brightness works as a stepwise, but in comparison portAOSP Elephone S2 Android 5.1 [Custom Rom]Flicker like no backlight;
* When charging, the lock screen displays the time until charging;

The general impression from a positive 5.1: the strongest drawback for me was dialer. Due to the requirements of my work contacts keep full name in the format, so that's dialer when an incoming call hard to fit first and last name (if it is short). It would be desirable to have a smaller font name and a 2-line. Has anyone already worked with this problem?
