Newbie: rooting and installing ROM on Lenovo A820

[OM2]

I'm going to buy the Lenovo A820
It doesn't come with Google Play as standard

Will I have any trouble installing one of the standard ROMs?

Can someone point me to a newbie guide to rooting and installing a new ROM

Thanks

I can't see any problems installing google play on the phone.

See these reviews
Lenovo A820 - User opinions and reviews

as there's some links for rooting but you MUST be 100% certain you get the correct files for your phone otherwise don't bother rooting until absolutely sure.Some of the reviews are negative but that's the same for most devices.I run a Lenovo Ideapad and they are reasonably well built.

I moved the thread to the forum for discussing tablets that do not have a dedicated forum of their own.
