Heeelooooo guys!

Here is my question:
Can some1 give me direct instructions on how to install new android on my phone? I want ither Androind5, or something NOT lenovo UI… It sucks, it drans DA HEEEEL outta battery and I dont like not having an “inside menu” with all icons filling all my screens.

Lenovo S90
SnapDragon 400|410
2gb Ram
4x ARM cortex A53
Adreno 306 @ 400 mhz (yeah, its no R9x)) )
Android: 4.4.4
Davlink 1.6.0
kernel armv71
5" HD Super Amoled screen.
No root acsess.

fkn snapdragon drains the hell out of battery… 2gbs of ram does not help the situation.
The phone, even having traffic off, all radios off, listening to music, will baaaaarely last thru the day. I used to have Fly IQ 444 with 4.7 HD SuperAmoled Screen, 2100 mA battery, mtkquadcore at 1.2Ghz, under FULL load would last almost 15 hours… Wifi, traffic, surfing, music… Lenovo, is the only thing that pisses me off is the battery.
NO!!! NOT PLANNING TO RETURNING or CHAINING IT!! well, If ill get completely frustrated, then maybe.

Some1 did mention that S90 will be updated to 5th android, but when… Feel like I have to take charger with me wherever I go.

Thanks in advance.

There is virtual zero development for the phone. Flashing a custom ROM or even rooting is not possible.

Hello friend, there is next to no options and I haven't seen anyone install twrp. But these guys got cwr to run(I'm not a fan of it).

If you can't root I would recommend greenify, even without root it can be helpful for saving battery.

if you wish to tinker with devices like the firmware, roms and such. you would have to invest into Nexus Devices. they have the best support of any Android handset.

Thanks friends!) Appreciate the help) As it turns out, some of the updates were not installed so I had to deal with it first. After all, about a day or two later, battery showed a great sign of longevity! I was surprised) Now the whole day of pretty intense use and the phone lives well)
