I just found this.

Is this real?

They are not official roms, there is someone who made these.

But in the absence of any comment or support from BV on their 7.x future ROM support (or even 6.x support), it may be worth a try.

Sadly not even unofficial roms. Downloaded the Lineage OS 14.1, and while it indeed seems to be Lineage OS 14.1, it's for the Samsung Galaxy S5. I'm guessing that's the story for the rest as well. Notice how all were posted in the end of May, weeks before Blackview even released nougat for the P2.

Yes, because I think for P2 there is no Kernel yet for Lineageos and without sources very difficult to port Lineageos to P2.

Better to wait, maybe there is an update to 7.1.2 coming

How could you tell the rom was for Samsung Galaxy S5 ? what did you see when you unzipped it ?

The only true source for custom roms is xda developers ...

They will produce roms for the BVP2 in time , just keep watching ...

Check the build.prop file in the system folder. The ROM is for a model called klte, and a quick Google search says klte is Samsung's internal designation for the S5.

Thanks for the info mate. I was always taking at face value what the room said it was.
Someone can easily brick their phone with this fake Russian room.
