Xolo Play 8x 1100 CM 12.1 ROM (CyanogenMod Android Lollipop) is an unofficial ported ROM. This ROM has reportedly no known bugs and stated as a stable ROM. But still as always I always recommend to have a backup before you initiate the flashing.
Installing custom ROM requires a custom recovery to be installed on your device, which may VOID your warranty and may delete all your data. It is important for you to understand that you are the only person responsible for the disaster that may happen to your device. Neither the developer nor we can be held responsible for the same.
Before you start the flashing!!! Download the following files
– Philz recovery download link
– ROM download link
– Google Apps download link
