  1. Please note:

    The link under required files (Download SlimLP Android 5.1.1 ROM) doesnt work.
    It goes to another page and the link asks for username and password.

    Secondly, (its just a suggestion)

    Please make it simple by giving direct link to download “Google apps” instead of taking it to a different page and giving a complete list of google app which can be confusing. I mean, this page is about Lollipop for p3100 so a direct link for google app for lollipop is easier and convenient for readers. There is no point in reading about google app for Jelly bean or kitkat and so on.

    Thanks.

    waiting for correction.
